Recuerdos e imágenes se combinan con el relato de la construcción de la novela, a modo de diario, desde la perspectiva de la "literatura de los hijos". En esta ficción autobiográfica Zambra focaliza y resignifica el pasado, poniendo en tensión el registro documental con la libertad de la ficción. ; Simposio: Lecturas de los 70 y el debate sobre la posmemoria en la literatura de la segunda generación. ; Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación

La novela latinoamericana reciente ha encontrado en el género policial y de investigación la forma eficaz de representar la violencia. Con variaciones diversas sobre el canon -como señala Ana María Amar Sánchez- el relato destruye la armonía entre sociedad/justicia /ley al representar el crimen como producto de las instituciones políticas y sociales. Nuestro trabajo se propone indagar en el marco del Proyecto de Investigación: Mapas de la violencia: filosofía, teoría literaria, arte y literatura, el modo en que el relato literario construye versiones de la historia y plantea nuevos interrogantes acerca de los procesos sociales en América Latina. La confrontación con el otro da cuenta de la fragilidad de la identidad que está siempre en relación con una violencia fundadora (Paul Ricoeur): acontecimientos violentos legitimados se almacenan en la memoria como heridas reales o simbólicas. El recorrido de lectura se ha iniciado en la literatura peruana, con las novelas Abril Rojo de Santiago Roncagliolo, La hora azul y Grandes miradas de Alonso Cueto, textos que permiten abordar la violencia política y su relación con la violencia mítica a través del movimiento guerrillero Sendero Luminoso. Por otra parte hemos indagado en Estrella distante de Roberto Bolaño, la singularidad de una pesquisa literaria con el telón de fondo de la dictadura militar chilena. Desde una poética que exaspera la representación fragmentaria a modo de un montaje cinematográfico, otra que se desplaza entre un registro intimista y estilizado hasta lo que podemos nombrar como "obsesión panóptica", encontramos una tercera cercana al género de "ficción paranoica" que arma y desarma el relato en un gesto continuo de autorreferencia. Textos todos que de algún modo "violentan" los códigos narrativos y proponen nuevos usos estéticos poniendo a prueba su eficacia. Por otra parte, los trayectos del horror que recorremos en estas novelas no pretenden quedar en un recuerdo intransitivo e insuperable antes bien alcanzan un nivel ético- político que permiten reflexionar (Todorov) acerca de situaciones nuevas y sin embargo análogas. ; Fil: Torre, María Elena.

"The brief, practical texts in the Essentials of Qualitative Methods series introduce social science and psychology researchers to key approaches to capturing phenomena not easily measured quantitatively, offering exciting, nimble opportunities to gather in-depth qualitative data. In this book, Michelle Fine and Maria Elena Torre provide an introduction to participant action research, an approach that reveals the everyday stories of struggle and survival of the persons being studied, combats social injustice, and leverages social science research for action. Participant action research challenged the traditional and narrow ways in which research has been conducted and elevates the voices and perspectives of formerly marginalized groups. About the Essentials of Qualitative Methods book series: Even for experienced researchers, selecting and correctly applying the right method can be challenging. In this groundbreaking series, leading experts in qualitative methods provide clear, crisp, and comprehensive descriptions of their approach, including its methodological integrity, and its benefits and limitations. Each book includes numerous examples to enable readers to quickly and thoroughly grasp how to leverage these valuable methods"--

This article enters the 'intimate details' of a participatory action research project nested inside a college-in-prison program for women in a maximum security prison. Conceived out of a conversation of prison reform advocates, the piece is deliberately not co-authored by all of the researchers - prison based and university based - because this article is an opportunity to reveal some of the delicate and difficult issues of working inside institutions of abuse and structural violence. The issues discussed could not easily be spoken about by women in prison, or even former prisoners, without jeopardizing their well being. Through the findings of the PAR project the piece will sample the impact of college in prison, but more intentionally it will interrogate questions of epistemology, ethics, method and politics as participatory action researchers take up projects inside state institutions, enforcing neo-liberalism through the prison industrial complex. The critical role of the 'outsider' who is 'privileged' to speak is interrogated, as is the responsibility to bear witness as the walls of prison consume communities of color and poverty.

The discipline of psychology covers many fields under its professional umbrella (e.g., cognitive, social, clinical, neuropsychological). Too often discussions of research and theory are conducted in one field with almost no connection to any of the other fields. While this strategy creates specialization and expertise, it leaves little space for reevaluation or reexamination of basic assumptions inside a particular field. This paper wishes to challenge this tradition by creating a conversation in which participatory action research (PAR) is looked at from the perspective of clinical psychology.

Urban Girls, published in 1996, was one of the first volumes to showcase the lives of girls growing up in contexts of urban poverty and sometimes racism and violence. It spoke directly to young women who, often for the first time, were seeing their own stories and those of their friends explained in the materials they were asked to read. The volume has helped to shape the way in which we study girls and understand their development over the past decade.Urban Girls Revisited explores the diversity of urban adolescent girls' development and the sources of support and resilience that help them to build the foundations of strength that they need as they enter adulthood. Urban girls are frequently marginalized by poverty, ethnic discrimination, and stereotypes suggesting that they have deficits compared to their peers. In fact, urban girls do often"grow up fast," taking on multiple adult roles and responsibilities in contexts of high levels of adversities. Yet a majority of these girls show remarkable strengths in the face of challenges, and their families and communities provide many assets to support their development. This new volume showcases these strengths.Contributors:Amy Alberts, Natasha Alexander, Murray Anderson, Elizabeth Banister, Cecilia Benoit, Kristen Boelcke-Stennes, Ana Mari Cauce, Elise D.

Interrupted Life is a gripping collection of writings by and about imprisoned women in the United States, a country that jails a larger percentage of its population than any other nation in the world. This eye-opening work brings together scores of voices from both inside and outside the prison system including incarcerated and previously incarcerated women, their advocates and allies, abolitionists, academics, and other analysts. In vivid, often highly personal essays, poems, stories, reports, and manifestos, they offer an unprecedented view of the realities of women's experiences as they try to sustain relations with children and family on the outside, struggle for healthcare, fight to define and achieve basic rights, deal with irrational sentencing systems, remake life after prison; and more. Together, these powerful writings are an intense and visceral examination of life behind bars for women, and, taken together, they underscore the failures of imagination and policy that have too often underwritten our current prison system

The fourth edition of Community Organizing and Community Building for Health and Social Equity provides both classic and recent contributions to the field, with a special accent on how these approaches can contribute to health and social equity. The 23 chapters offer conceptual frameworks, skill- building and case studies in areas like coalition building, organizing by and with women of color, community assessment, and the power of the arts, the Internet, social media, and policy and media advocacy in such work. The use of participatory evaluation and strategies and tips on fundraising for community organizing also are presented, as are the ethical challenges that can arise in this work, and helpful tools for anticipating and addressing them. Also included are study questions for use in the classroom. Many of the book's contributors are leaders in their academic fields, from public health and social work, to community psychology and urban and regional planning, and to social and political science. One author was the 44th president of the United States, himself a former community organizer in Chicago, who reflects on his earlier vocation and its importance. Other contributors are inspiring community leaders whose work on-the-ground and in partnership with us "outsiders" highlights both the power of collaboration, and the cultural humility and other skills required to do it well. Throughout this book, and particularly in the case studies and examples shared, the role of context is critical, and never far from view. Included here most recently are the horrific and continuing toll of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a long overdue, yet still greatly circumscribed, "national reckoning with systemic racism," in the aftermath of the brutal police killing of yet another unarmed Black person, and then another and another, seemingly without end. In many chapters, the authors highlight different facets of the Black Lives Matter movement that took on new life across the country and the world in response to these atrocities. In other chapters, the existential threat of climate change and grave threats to democracy also are underscored.
