An after-school STEM program through the lens of intersectionality
This article employs the six tenets of intersectional research to examine the interconnections of oppression, relationality, complexity, context, deconstruction, and comparison that shape study participants’ experiences. This study was conducted at an after-school STEM program in a poverty-demographic through the lens of intersectionality. This is important because present literature that examines urban demographics and underserved students does …
Fighting racism in monocultural university systems and institutions in Latin America: Advances, tensions, and challenges
Racism, as both the founding ideology and regime of power constitutive of the Modern World, is a crucial cause of pervasive inequalities in all Latin American societies. As it happens to other social fields, racism intrinsically marks hegemonic monocultural Higher Education policies, systems, and institutions. Eradicating racism in university systems and institutions demands transforming the whole field to make it completely intercultural, an amb…
The multiple forms of racism and the challenges it poses to higher education systems
Racism is an ideology according to which human beings are classifiable into "races" and some of them are "superior" to others. This ideology is not only expressed and exercised through "visible" social practices, which is what the application of the expression "racial discrimination" is usually limited. It also operates through disadvantages accumulated over centuries, the existence of which has been "naturalized". These disadvantages are the res…
Las Múltiples Formas Del Racismo Y Los Desafíos Que Plantean a Los Sistemas De Educación Superior
El racismo es una ideología según la cual los humanos seríamos clasificables en razas, algunas de ellas superiores a otras. Esta se expresa y ejerce a través de prácticas sociales visibles, que es a las que se suele limitar la aplicación de la expresión discriminación racial. También opera a través de desventajas acumuladas a lo largo de siglos, cuya existencia ha sido naturalizada. Estas son resultado de inequidades y formas de desigualdad y exc…
Los desafíos de las múltiples formas del racismo al avance de la Educación Superior Intercultural
Las experiencias de Educación Superior Intercultural actualmente en curso en América Latina constituyen un campo diverso que ofrece provechosas oportunidades de aprendizaje para los sistemas de Educación Superior y de Ciencia y Técnica. Las diferencias entre visiones de mundo de las sociedades hegemónicas y las de los pueblos indígenas y afrodescendientes dan lugar a que también sean diferentes las modalidades de aprendizaje y de producción de co…
Racismo, Derechos Humanos, y Educación Superior en América Latina
Este artículo pone de relieve el carácter histórico estructural del racismo en las sociedades latinoamericanas y como su “naturalización” afecta las posibilidades de que personas y comunidades de pueblos indígenas y afrodescendientes puedan ejercer plenamente el derecho a la educación, con especial atención a la Educación Superior. El análisis enfatiza que este problema no solo afecta la calidad de la Educación Superior, sino también el ejercicio…
Más allá de la Academia: Estudios culturales y prácticas interculturales
Los debates sobre la institucionalización de los Estudios Culturales y sus dimensiones políticas, éticas y epistemológicas fueron particularmente importantes durante la década de 1990, cuando el campo pasaba por una importante expansión transnacional impulsada por universidades y editoriales de Estados Unidos e Inglaterra, que crecientemente involucró a colegas e instituciones de diversos países europeos, asiáticos y latinoamericanos. Los debates…
Estudios y otras prácticas intelectuales latinoamericanas en cultura y poder
Una de las dos lneas principales de argumentacin de este texto gira en torno a la idea de "prcticas intelectuales". Con ella la propuesta es cuestionar el "sentido comn" resultante de la hegemona que la institucionalidad acadmica y las industrias editoriales han venido ejerciendo sobre la representacin de la idea de "intelectual", as como poner de relieve la existencia e importancia de la amplia diversidad de formas que asumen las "prcticas intel…

Educação Superior e Povos Indígenas: Experiências, Estudos e Debates na América Latina e em outras Regiões do Mundo

Indigenous People in Latin America: Movements and Universities. Achievements, Challenges, and Intercultural Conflicts
The idea of social movements tends to be associated, in a reductionist manner, with protests in public spaces and negotiations in institutional spaces. Nevertheless, social movements are agents of change across a wide variety of social spaces. One of the most notable ones is that of education. While the most visible initiatives tend to be short-term courses, some sectors of several social movements have also promoted higher education programmes t…
Todas las industrias son culturales: Crítica de la idea de “industrias culturales” y nuevas posibilidades de investigación
Aunque las categorías “industrias culturales” y “consumo cultural” resultan útiles en valiosas publicaciones, no están exentas de problemas. Este texto muestra cómo su uso obstruye algunas posibilidades de investigación y cómo dejar de usarlas abre nuevas posibilidades. Destacar el atributo “cultural” de algunas industrias y consumos, en particular, oculta la relevancia cultural de todas las demás industrias y consumos, y así se obstaculiza el es…
Stuart Hall, a partir da e na América Latina
Este artigo discute como as ideias de Hall foram incorporadas de forma rápida, rigorosa e crítica pelos estudiosos e intelectuais na América Latina considerados pioneiros no campo dos Estudos Culturais latino-americanos e aqueles que os seguiram; por outros que realizam um trabalho crítico, mas recusam o rótulo de Estudos Culturais; finalmente, por aqueles cujo trabalho poderia ser identificado como estudo cultural, mas que não o consideram como …
Stuart Hall from/in Latin America
This article discusses how Hall’s ideas have been taken up readily, rigorously and critically by scholars and intellectuals in Latin America who can be considered trailblazers in the field of Latin American Cultural Studies and those that followed, as well as others who undertake critical work but refuse the Cultural Studies label, and finally others whose work could readily be identified as Cultural Studies but who have not been taken up as such…

Social and institutional heterogeneity, interculturality, and intercultural communication

There is no 'universal' knowledge, intercultural collaboration is indispensable
Within some significant circles, where hegemonic representations of the idea of ‘science’ are produced, certain orientations of scientific research are carried out, and science and higher education policies are made and applied, references to the alleged existence of two kinds of knowledge, one of which would have ‘universal’ validity, and ‘the other’ (in fact the several others) would not, are frequent and do have crucial effects over our academ…
All Industries Are Cultural: A critique of the idea of ‘cultural industries’ and new possibilities for research
While the conceptual categories of cultural industries and cultural consumption have been useful tools that have yielded valuable insights in a number of studies, they, nevertheless, pose certain problems. This text argues how their usage, in fact, obstructs certain research possibilities. Highlighting the 'cultural' character of certain specific industries and forms of consumption can also limit, if not impede altogether, the possibilities of an…

Transnational relations, culture, communication and social change
Social processes in the world today are characterized by the growing importance of relations between actors located in different national spaces (transnational relations). Based on case studies, this article illustrates how nowadays transnational relations between local and transnational actors affect in different ways the social production of representations that are sociopolitically significant – insofar as they articulate meanings in the const…
The Transnationalization of the Telenovela Industry, Territorial References, and the Production of Markets and Representations of Transnational Identities

Several objectives guide this analysis: first, studying an industry of great importance in the daily life of hundreds of millions of human beings; second, criticizing through a case study the a priori assumptions that globalization processes are both “homogenizing” and “deterritoriali…

Social production of representations of ideas of civil society: The role of transnational networks of local and global actors
In this era of globalization, the social production of social representations of ideas of civil society is related to processes that involve the participation both of local and/or national actors as well as of transnational actors. In an effort to understand how these processes occur, in this article I analyze the practices of multilateral banks, non-governmental agencies, and governmental, intergovernmental and para-governmental agencies from th…

The Transnational Making of Representations of Gender, Ethnicity and Culture: Indigenous Peoples' Organizations at the Smithsonian Institution's Festival
Ongoing globalization processes challenge indigenous peoples' lives in various ways. These processes seem to be to a significant extent fuelled by ‘global’ agents whose practices are in one way or another informed by the systems of representations, values and beliefs of so-called ‘developed’ Western societies, those of the US, Canada and Western Europe. Not only are voracious national and transnational economic and political forces avidly seeking…
On the making of transnational identities in the age of globalization: The US Latina/o‐‘Latin’ American case
Representations of a transnational US Latina/o—'Latin’ American identity are being produced and circulated by multiple social actors. The development of representations of this transnational identity does not have any particular pre‐assigned meaning. Speculations about whether it may result in being more or less strategically beneficial are also taking place, but ‘for whom?’ and ‘how?’ become the obvious questions. The overall argument presented …

This article discusses the process of transnationalisation of the telenovela industry from a perspective that seeks to articulate economic and cultural analysis (social symbolic). Two objectives guide this analysis. The first is to contribute to the theoretical field on globalisation through a criticism of the attributes of 'deterritorialisation' and 'homogenisation' which are often associated with the idea of globalisation without being put to t…
Latin American intellectual practices in culture and power: Experiences and Debates
One of the two main lines of argumentation of this text turns around the idea of ‘intellectual practices’.

In addition, the idea of ‘intellectual practices’ is useful to make more visible the diversity of forms in which intellectual work informs current social practice…
