En la América Latina de los años setenta del siglo pasado surgió el concepto de estructuras de pecado, concretamente en la tercera Conferencia General del Episcopado Latinoamericano, celebrada en Puebla (México) en 1979. Su recepción eclesial fue complicada. Parece innegable que las estructuras que conforman la convivencia social pueden fomentar comportamientos abiertamente inhumanos y, por lo tanto, ser fuentes de pecado. Ahora bien, resulta difícil delimitar quién es el sujeto de estas estructuras. Unos dicen que las estructuras sociales no son personas, y que por lo tanto no pecan; otros mantienen que las estructuras están conformadas por personas, y que estas personas son las que pecan. Estas discusiones fueron llevadas al sínodo Reconciliación y penitencia, donde se acordó que las estructuras inhumanas pertenecen a la dimensión analógica del pecado, lo cual era algo nuevo en la historia de la Iglesia. Este libro analiza el uso de la analogía en el concepto de pecado; argumenta que existe efectivamente un pecado estructural, cuyo sujeto está constituido por la comunidad presente en aquella institución social que atenta abiertamente contra la vida humana; y analiza también los efectos en los que se reconoce la existencia de un pecado estructural en un sistema social dado.

Professor Brian V. Johnstone, CSsR, has been quietly and unobtrusively contributing to the intellectual life of Catholicism, especially in the field of moral theology, for nearly four decades. Having published numerous theological articles on many topics, including biomedical ethics, peace and war, and fundamental moral theology, and directed many doctoral dissertations, it is no exaggeration to say that he has dedicated his entire life to teaching and writing theology. In honor of Johnstone's work, this felicitation volume covers a wide range of themes in the Christian moral life with original articles written by internationally recognized theologians. In the spirit of Johnstone's thought and work, each article challenges the reader to reflect upon the present while contemplating the future of moral theology.

A woman’s feminist awakening drives a hypocritical village to madness in rural Uruguay in this "wild, brutal paean to freedom" (NPR.org). Shortlisted for the National Translation Award "Somers' feminism is profound, and complicated." —NPR.org “A surreal, nightmarish book about women’s struggle for autonomy—and how that struggle is (always, inevitably) met with violence.” —Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties When The Naked Woman was originally published in 1950, critics doubted a woman writer could be responsible for its shocking erotic content. In this searing critique of Enlightenment values, fantastic themes are juxtaposed with brutal depictions of misogyny and violence, and frantically build to a fiery conclusion. Finally available to an English-speaking audience, Armonía Somers will resonate with readers of Clarice Lispector, Djuna Barnes, and Leonora Carrington.

Twilight of the Avant-Garde addresses the central problem of contemporary Spanish poetry: the attempt to preserve the scope and ambition of modernist poetry at the end of the twentieth century. Offering a critical analysis of Luis Garcìa Montero’s “poetry of experience,” and the work of José Angel Valente and Antonio Gamoneda, among others, Mayhew challenges received notions about the value of poetic language in relation to the society and culture at large. Ultimately championing the survival of more challenging and ambitious modes of poetic writing in the postmodern age, this volume argues that the cultural ambition of modernist poetics remains alive and well in our age of cynicism.
