Chicano art is an ambivalent concept to curate. Spanning across all artistic media and covering over fifty years of artistic production, Chicano art –as an art historical designation– has had polarizing interpretations throughout its history of public display. This dissertation includes an overview of Chicano art exhibitions since the 1960s and exhibition case studies of distinct curatorial methodologies, including hemispheric, post-Chicano, and Raza Studies frameworks. I feature readings of El Museo del Barrio's Arte No es Vida: Actions by Artists of the Americas, 1960-2000 from 2008; Los Angeles County Museum of Art's Phantom Sightings: Art After the Chicano Movement from 2008; and the McNay Museum's Estampas de la Raza: Contemporary Prints from the Romo Collection from 2012. I argue that each museum's translation of this nuanced political consciousness is fraught with misinterpretation aimed at historicizing, depoliticizing, or delegitimizing Chicano art's past and present political ethos. By examining exhibitions holistically through didactic labels, press releases, exhibition design, programming, and critical reviews, I deconstruct the unique approaches curators and the host institutional staff use to interpret and present Chicano art. This dissertation's methodological structure is informed by the Chicana/o/x exhibition case studies of Chicana scholars Alicia Gaspar de Alba and Karen Mary Davalos, drawing from their decolonial methods of museum studies. I posit that these 21st century-curatorial approaches have elements that enliven Chicano art's study. Such original curatorial efforts broaden art historical connections and reveal unprecedented presentation strategies that recognize Chicano art's polyvalent conceptual linkages with Latinx and Latin American art. However, in these curatorial efforts, curators engage in a problematic process to market Chicano art as neither political nor relevant in contemporary art study, often at the expense of earlier Chicana/o/x Movement artists that remain active today. Through this study, I aim to challenge the presumption that curatorial strategies must position a rejection of Chicanismo for art world inclusion. Chicano art is defined by its disruptive relationships within the art world with a lack of competitive market value, a collector base, philanthropic support, and presence in museum's permanent collections. This subject study must then consider the alternative infrastructure that informs and sustains Chicano art's primary method of presentation. Public exhibitions and their accompanying catalogues are one of the direct outlets for the advancement of Chicano art historical scholarship, and therefore this study is a vital pedagogical analysis that problematizes the Chicano art exhibition space as an epistemic structure.

En este artículo se analiza la presencia de atacameños y aymaras en la Comisión de Verdad Histórica y Nuevo Trato, respondiendo a las preguntas de cómo se plantean frente al tema de la historia y cómo resuelven el desafío de presentar una versión propia de ella. La primera parte consiste en una síntesis histórica de la relación que se ha establecido entre el Estado chileno y las poblaciones indígenas del Norte Grande, mientras que en la segunda se presenta el análisis de los documentos que asumen una representatividad atacameña y aymara en esta Comisión, elaborados por líderes y miembros de organizaciones en conjunto con profesionales e intelectuales no indígenas. El núcleo de nuestra aproximación está en la visualización de la historia como herramienta política y el intento de los actores por posicionarse en ella, con las contradicciones y tensiones que este esfuerzo implicaPalabras clave : identidad; discurso; historia; memoria. AbstractThis paper analyzes the presence of Atacameños and Aymaras in Chile's Historical Truth and New Deal Commission, answering questions concerning how these peoples relate to the topic of History and how they resolve the challenge of presenting a historical version of their own. The first part is a synthesis of the chronological relationship between the Chilean State and indigenous populations in Northern Chile. The second part renders the analysis of the documents that were presented in representation of the Atacameños and Aymara in this Commission, which were elaborated by leaders and members of indigenous organizations along with non-indigenous professionals and intellectuals. Our approach is centered on a view of History as a political tool, and in the attempts agents make to position themselves in it, with the tensions and contradictions this effort impliesPalabras clave : identity; discourse; History; memory.

This article comparatively analyzes the first continental meetings organized by indigenous activists and Afro-descendants in Latin America: the Second meeting of Barbados (Segunda Reunión de Barbados) and the First Congress of Black Culture in the Americas (Primer Congreso de la Cultura Negra de las Américas), both held in 1977. Based on the conference proceedings, we question the historical intersection that not only identify a common context but also shared discourses and aspirations, such as the struggle against racism, the formulation of an anti-colonial critique, and the construction of a political-cultural identity. As we argue, the discussions and proposals made in these gatherings can be considered foundational of the current indigenous and Afro-descendant movements.

RESUMEN: Eco silencioso: Representaciones de las conductas suicidas infantiles en el contexto escolar desde las voces de cuatro maestras de dos instituciones educativas de Medellín es una investigación sobre las representaciones de cuatro maestras sobre las conductas suicidas infantiles de estudiantes, entre 6 y 12 años, de dos instituciones educativas públicas de Medellín. En ella, presento al suicidio como un fenómeno multicausal de carácter histórico-social, donde confluyen aspectos individuales y culturales que afecta todas las edades. Hago un rastreo bibliográfico sobre estudios e investigaciones que se han hecho sobre el suicidio en niños y niñas en la ciudad desde una mirada psicológica y psicosocial. Por su parte, abordo desde el punto de vista de algunos teóricos, organizaciones internacionales y nacionales, el significado de conductas suicidas, conductas suicidas infantiles y suicidio; también hago una aproximación a lo que son las representaciones sociales, infancias y escuela, desde diferentes autores, que dan claridad a dichas nociones. Esta investigación es cualitativa, cuya metodología es el estudio de caso, desde un paradigma hermenéutico, interpretativo y constructivista, con la que pretendo aportar a los estudios sobre infancias y visibilizar una problemática que debe considerarse desde diferentes áreas interdisciplinares e instituciones: familia, escuela, gubernamental y salud. ; ABSTRACT: Quiet echoes: representations of the children's suicide tendencies in the school context from the perspective of four teachers in two educational institutions from Medellín. Is an investigation about the representation from four teachers of the children's suicide tendencies, between the ages of 6 and 12 years old, from two public schools at Medellín. On it, I show how suicide is a multi causal phenomenon of social and historic character, where individual and cultural aspects collide and affect all ages. I make a bibliographical footprint about studies and research made about suicide on boys and girls from a psychological and psychosocial point of view. On the other hand, I tackle from the view point of some theorists, international and national organizations, the meaning of suicide tendencies, children's suicide tendencies and suicide. I also make an approximation to what are the representations of society, infancy and school from the perspectives of several authors, which give clarity to some concepts. This is a qualitative investigation. The methodology is case study, from a hermeneutic paradigm, interpretative and constructivist. With it, I pretend to contribute to the studies about childhood and bring to the light an issue that should be evaluated in an interdisciplinary fashion and by institutions as well: family, school, government and public health.

"In this edifying volume Sarah Corona and Claudia Zapata extrapolate the causes for the divisions between groups in Latin American society, bringing their years of experience investigating the conditions and consequences of heterogeneity in the region. First, Corona approaches the problem of difference and heterogeneity epistemologically, asking about the possible benefits of horizontal modes of knowledge production between academics and the "social other." She demands reification for those without access to institutions who experience social ills and theorizes a trans-disciplinary dialogue to discover a horizontal construction of knowledge. Zapata evaluates and questions whether indigenous people throughout the continent have had their quality of life improved by the recognition of their collective rights as peoples. These two works provide overviews of a Latin American multiculturalism that connects to parallel movements in North America and Europe. Combined they offer a guide that could be vital to future activism and social work whether in the classroom or on the streets. Critical Interculturality and Horizontal Methodology in Latin America will appeal to scholars and students who are in need of new ways to comprehend the current strain of multiculturalism and plurality. It offers reflections on how social research can be not only sensitive to the epistemologies and interests of the "cultural other," but approach parity and horizontality in dialogue"--

This qualitative study scrutinises how green energy investment affects Indigenous Wayúu people in Colombia's La Guajira region. Employing coloniality of power and decolonial feminism frameworks, we delve into Wayúu women's struggles and resilience in defending territories against large-scale wind energy projects. Our findings suggest that governments and businesses are 'tuned in' to the economic benefits of these projects, yet 'tuned out' from Indigenous peoples' ontologies, concerns, needs and cosmovisions. This dynamic prompts questions about the unintended consequences of organisations' engagement with Indigenous peoples through corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies. Despite good intentions, CSR practices that are 'tuned out' from Indigenous peoples' cosmovisions may inadvertently reinforce power imbalances and further marginalise Indigenous communities. Our study highlights the need to honour Indigenous territories and protect Indigenous women's rights in long-term investments. Clean energy focus can mask green colonialism, which Wayúu women actively safeguard, upholding Indigenous worldviews via feminist decoloniality. We advocate for businesses to incorporate diverse perspectives beyond the dominant western worldview into their climate change mitigation actions and CSR strategies, and for public policies to balance decarbonisation efforts with Indigenous rights to contribute to sustainable and equitable energy transitions.

This article presents the results of the reflective process of "systematization" that was carried out by a group of researchers from different disciplines. The goal of the reflective process was to answer the question "What does it mean to have a social justice perspective when conducting qualitative research?" We draw from moral and political philosophy to chart our theoretical route. We highlight how research grounded on social justice values requires researchers to take into account instrumental-methodological matters in the service of such values and to consider them as guiding principles. Moral and political philosophy also leads us to evaluate the results of research differently. Finally, we assert that a research perspective centered on social justice becomes a political movement that exerts pressure on traditional hegemonic scientific practice. Social justice research, we conclude, challenges science to democratize and to meaningfully contribute to overcoming unjust conditions and discrimination.
