Dossier Articles: Exiles and Asylums in/from Latin America and the Caribbean

In the context of the global Cold War, during the 1960s and 1970s National Security Dictatorships (NSDs) were installed in Latin America that followed the guidelines of the US foreign policy of "internal defence against international communism". The effects of the massive repression mechanisms of the DHS provoked the exclusion and persecution of tens of thousands of political opponents and disaffected sectors of the public and national political spheres, and had an unprecedented regional and international impact. Thousands of citizens were forced to leave their countries because of systematic violations of their human rights. Faced with this situation, the protection they received from other States, international inter-State bodies and the support of international solidarity from various organizations and networks were key. In the countries that could offer protection to those people, tensions and discussions were exposed between adopting a foreign policy of respect for the right to asylum, or to refuge, and defense of human rights; or another one that prioritized reasons of State such as immigration policy, internal security, or the ideology of the applicants for international protection. Another effect of this regional situation is that it led to the formation of a broad movement of international solidarity for the defense of human rights and solidarity with the victims that consolidated various regional and transnational networks of political activation in opposition to the internal and external policies of the DHS. Currently, exiles, shelters and asylums are being reissued due to massive international forced migrations resulting from internal and external wars and conflicts, as demonstrated by the current regional and global debate on various cases of diplomatic and territorial asylates in Latin America and Europe. This situation is conducive to a necessary debate on the mechanisms for the protection of politically persecuted persons, solidarity and the defence of human rights at the local, regional and transnational levels. This dossier proposes to discuss empirical and theoretical research advances that address various aspects of exiles, refugees and asylums in Latin America and the Caribbean during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, with an interdisciplinary perspective and in its multiple scales and dimensions of analysis.

Mujeres, Historietas y Humor Gráfico

Mujeres, Historietas y Humor Gráfico:

La obra de autoras contemporáneas en la cultura masiva de América Latina

 

En los últimos años las ciencias sociales han vuelto a prestar atención a dos objetos culturales, la historieta y el humor gráfico, soslayados durante varias décadas. En efecto, si durante los decenios 1960-1970 desde la semiología, la sociología y los estudios sobre la cultura y la comunicación de masas se les dedicó a las llamadas “narrativas dibujadas” o “narrativas graficas” una atención productiva en términos de corrientes y enfoques analíticos, esta preocupación se replegó durante la siguiente etapa (1980-2000) hacia distintas zonas del periodismo de opinión, la crítica de medios y la divulgación cultural. Sin embargo, en los años recientes y trazando un mapeo general de la región, las investigaciones académicas han contribuido con nuevos aportes a un área interdisciplinaria de trabajo constituida por las ciencias sociales, los estudios visuales y la historia cultural. Una de las novedades más importantes es la irrupción de mujeres tanto en la academia como en los campos del humor gráfico y la historieta, territorios de la cultura masiva que, en términos históricos, han sido ganados mayoritariamente por los hombres en toda América Latina. Sin embargo, esta situación se vio trastocada en los años ochenta del siglo XX y en esta última década del siglo XXI cuando varias mujeres profesionalizadas ingresaron al mercado especializado del sector y a distintos medios culturales y de prensa diaria. Estamos ante un fenómeno (el ingreso de las mujeres en el ámbito de la producción de humor gráfico e historieta) relativamente reciente si entendemos que ambos lenguajes en su versión moderna y masiva tienen poco más de cien años de existencia. Este dossier propone reunir con una perspectiva interdisciplinaria avances de investigación empíricos y teóricos que aborden el lugar de la mujer en la producción de bienes simbólicos destinados al mercado masivo en América Latina a partir del caso del humor gráfico y la historieta, así como estudios que enfoquen trayectorias, producciones, publicaciones y prácticas realizadas por mujeres durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX hasta la época contamporánea. Para su realización pensamos en colaboradorxs que puedan poner en contacto y tensión de manera creativa estas dimensiones múltiples de un debate aún en construcción y que merece, en consecuencia, una atención particular y emplazada en contextos históricos y regionales específicos.
