Agustín Cueva in the 1960´s: Dilemmas about Ecuadorian Culture and Identity by Andrés Tzeiman

“…The present work traces the first stage of the work of Agustín Cueva (1937-1992), an Ecuadorian sociologist who represents one of the most important figures in the legacy of social thought in the second half of the 20th century, not only in his own country but also in Latin America. His works of the 1960s are studied, especially those during the second half of the decade since there is the beginning of the itinerary of his prolific intellectual production and, at the same time, it is the least widespread and more delayed stage in the approach of his work. …”

The lapidary elements of the Castle of Belvoir by Anne Flammin, Paul François, Florian Renucci

“…One of them proposes an architectural ensemble with an ogival vault, to which numerous lapidary elements seem to belong, but in opposition to the style of contemporary constructions in the Latin East.

Apocalypse Now? Kate Atkinson Reads Ovid’s Metamorphoses by Barbara Weiden Boyd

“…Atkinson clearly signals her debt to Ovid in several epigraphs, but the overall impression left with readers who know Ovid only as a repository of classical myth has caused Atkinson’s remarkably inventive reception of Ovidian poetics to be misread. Atkinson uses the Latin poet’s interest in change and its often strange permutations as a way of interrogating contemporary concerns about consumerism, environmental degradation, and cultural forgetfulness, against a backdrop of post-apocalyptic fantasy. …”

Cidade de Deus: entre o testemunho e a ficção by Sandro R. Barros

“…In this sense, this study also analyses the reception of Lin's text under what has been epistemologically termed in Latin American subaltern studies as testimonio. The analysis of Lins's novel under the testimonial rubric allows for a meditation on questions related to any fictional text whose content stands too close to factually recognizable events, which takes the literary work and its possible classifications to an ontological cri- sis whose repercussions problematize literature as a vehicle of social denuncia- tion, and the author as the mediator of such a process.…”

A cultura em questões by Caleb Faria Alves

“…This article addresses, comparatively, the content of this term – explicit or not –in some of these surveys in Brazil and Latin America. Our first goal is to highlight the assumptions used to qualify and measure the consumption of cultural goods contained in the polls – in other words, to which extent this consumption is linked to culture itself –, identifying whether culture is treated as an autonomous field or as an accessory to concerns that are external to it. …”

Islam, Muslims, and the Coloniality of Being: Reframing the Debate on Race and Religion in Modernity by Iskander Abbasi

“…Two areas of concern are investigated: First, how Islamophobia aided in forming the coloniality of being in ways that decolo-nial scholarship – namely that of leading Latin American decolonial thinker, Nelson Maldonado-Torres – is seemingly unaware of or downplays, and second, how a rereading of a number of the key events and figures that define a decolonial discourse on race and religion, such as the Valladolid debates (1550-1551) and the figure of Christopher Columbus, help to more rigorously conceptualize the figure of the Muslim in relation to the coloniality of being. …”
