Las "Cartas a Milena", escritas por Franz Kafka entre los años 1920 y 1922, constituyen un documento excepcional, pues mues- tran un individuo marginal en su vida y obra actuando ante un sistema inmanentista en sus proyecciones, como lo es la modernidad, que comenzaba ya a mostrarse plenamente en sus aspectos burocráticos, militares, culturales, económicos, etc. en los tiempos en que estas fueron escritas
Abstract:The author approaches the topic denominated "Pinochet factor", beyond his direct physical presence in the spaces of power, but rather like a political inheritance of his dictatorial regime, in alliances with the political and economic elites of Chile. As it is shown, it seemed to be that we have inherited an authoritarian culture that transfers the temporary borders of the period of the military regime and it settles in a weakened present democracy. ; El autor aborda la temática denominada "el factor Pinochet", más allá de su presencia física directa en los espacios de poder, sino más bien como una herencia política de su régimen dictatorial, en alianzas con las élites políticas y económicas de Chile. Como se señala, pareciera ser que hemos heredado una cultura autoritaria que traspasa las fronteras temporales del período del régimen militar y se instala en una debilitada democracia actual.
ResumenEl presente artículo analiza la forma en que se proyectan discursivamente los Derechos Humanos en el Régimen Cívico-Militar, entre los años 1973 y 1980. Por medio del Análisis Crítico de Discurso y de proyecciones historiográficas, se vinculan los elementos textuales de sus documentos oficiales más significativos con los diversos contextos de poder por los que se transita en la época en estudio. Conello, se perciben sus coherencias doctrinales y simbólicas, así como el carácter de la"democracia protegida" propuesta y su directa relación con las políticas gremialistas,neoliberales y de la Doctrina de Seguridad Nacional con que se opera.Palabras clave: Derechos Humanos, Régimen Cívico-Militar, Declaración de Principios,Democracia Protegida, gremialismo, neoliberalismoThe textual macrostructures of the human rights.

Through both Critica lDiscourse Analysis and history-graphical projections, the contextual elements fromthe most significant documents are linked to the diverse empowerment doctrines enforced at that time. In addition, doctrinal and symbolic coherence are perceived,as well as and the character of the "˜protected democracy' proposed and its direct relationship to neoliberal labor policies, and the National Security Doctrine within which it operates.Keywords: Human Rights, civic-military regime, declaration of principles, protecteddemocracy, labor union, neoliberal movement
The present work analyzes the contextual elements that determined the diverse rationalities of the civil and military elites involved in the conflict of the Beagle. At the same time, the form in which these authoritarian regimes operated when they militarily occupied their respective countries; that is to say, when it sustained their political systems and their capacities of conflict negotiation, constituting the violence in the device of basic power, though nonexclusive. Also, it analyzes the fundamental role the Catholic Church exerted when the manipulation of this virtual war was journeyed or was constituted in war ; El presente trabajo analiza los elementos contextuales que determinaron las diversas racionalidades de las elites civiles y militares involucradas en el conflicto del Beagle.

También, analiza el rol fundamental que ejerció la Iglesia Católica cuando la manipulación de esta guerra virtual transitaba o se constituyó en guerra.
This book investigates the interconnections between populism and neoliberalism through the lens of postcolonialism. Its primary focus is to build a distinct understanding of the concept of populism as a political movement in the twenty-first century, interwoven with the lasting effects of colonialism. This volume particularly aims to fill the gap in the current literature by establishing a clear-cut connection between populism and postcolonialism. It sees populism as a contemporary and collective political response to the international crisis of the nation-state's limited capacity to deal with the burst of global capitalism into everyday life. Writings on Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Italy, France and Argentina offer regional perspectives which, in turn, provide the reader with a deepened global view of the main features of the multiple and complex relations between postcoloniality and populism. This book will be of interest to sociologists, anthropologists and political scientists as well as postgraduate students who are interested in the problem of populism in the days of postcolonialism.
This volume brings together well-versed authors from four continents to critically discuss the roots of neoliberalism and how academics use the word today. Neoliberalism has recently recycled and mutated towards new forms of radicalization where fear plays a leading role legitimating policies, which would otherwise be overtly neglected by citizens. The authors ignite a new discussion within social sciences, combining the advances of sociology, history, anthropology, communication and the theory of mobilities to understand the different faces and guises of neoliberalism.

When the world seems poised on the brink of a never ending cycle of terrorism, the present paper polemically explores some of its historical roots. The first anarcho-terrorists in 19th century, fought to improve the working conditions of people. Some of them used violent tools, hosting civilians as targets. Others, convinced by the futility of their efforts to change the order, opted for organizing workers in factories. It is widely accepted that tourism came from the social, political, technological developments in the nineteenth century. We compare terrorist attacks with workers' strikes, because they come from the same developments. We explore the thesis that tourism is terrorism by other means.
