Exegetically noteworthy and culturally-theologically relevant Violence in its wide range of horrifying expressions is real in people’s lives, and biblical interpreters must take violence in the world seriously to arrive at relevant ideas about the place of the Bible in the world. Each essay addresses people’s experiences of violence in the study of the Bible through the context of la violencia, the Spanish noun referring to the brutal, repressive, and murderous policies of state-sponsored violence practiced in many South and Central American and Caribbean countries during the twentieth century that external powers such as the USA often endorsed and fostered. The volume represents an important contribution to biblical studies and to the field of Latina/o studies. The contributors are Cheryl B. Anderson, Pablo Andiñach, Nancy Bedford, Lee Cuéllar, Steed V. Davidson, Serge Frolov, Renata Furst, Julia M. O’Brien, Todd Penner, José Enrique Ramírez, Ivoni Richter Reimer, and Susanne Scholz. Features: Twelve essays by scholars living and working on the American continent Articles reveal the complex historical, political, and cultural conditions on the American continent that have contributed to our understanding of violence in the Bible Focus on themes of racial, social, and cultural violence

Análisis crítico con un enfoque multidisciplinario, único hasta ahora en México, de las oportunidades y desafíos de los derechos humanos. Los autores aquí reunidos analizan los derechos humanos como una práctica social que se realiza en medio de relaciones asimétricas de poder, en el marco del ya convulsionado siglo xxi. Pensados como un discurso que se convierte en práctica social y en campo de disputa para la definición de significados, los derechos humanos pueden generar marcos de oportunidad para la transformación político-social pero, también, pueden constituir un obstáculo para el cambio y la construcción de subjetividades emancipadas.

In Good Victims, Roxani Krystalli investigates the politics of victimhood as a feminist question. Based on in-depth engagement in Colombia over the course of a decade, Krystalli shows how victimhood becomes a pillar of reimagining the state in the wake of war, and of bringing a vision of that state into being through bureaucratic encounters. The book also sheds light on the ethical and methodological dilemmas that arise when contemplating the legacies of transitional justice mechanisms.

A los 14 años, con la lectura de Análisis profano de Freud, se produce un quiebre en la vida de María Esther Gilio: “Después de haber pasado mi primera infancia diciendo ‘quiero ser médica de locos’, después de ver un film de Claudette Colbert en que ésta, con todo su encanto francés, convertía a locos furiosos en santos de estampita, quise ser psicoanalista”. Este es el testimonio de alguien que sospecha que hablar de uno mismo en el pasado es como hablar de otra persona, y que el presente surge permanentemente como un espejo que no siempre queremos enfrentar de manera directa (“Llegamos a hoy. Y yo no quiero escribir sobre mí misma”). Como si la conversación con quienes compartimos preciados intereses mostrara nuestra identidad más genuina, la autora –abogada, escritora, biógrafa y periodista– nos habla de experiencias de vida a través de una serie de entrevistas. Aparecen aquí algunos de los más importantes y prestigiosos psicoanalistas contemporáneos: Jean Laplanche, Jacques Alain Miller, Emilio Rodrigué, Elisabeth Roudinesco, Benzión Winograd, Silvia Bleichmar, Janine Altounian, Lito Benvenutti, Mordechai Benyakar, César Botella, Françoise Davoine, Jean-Max Gaudilliere, Daniel Gil, Max Hernández, Philippe Jeammet, François Marty, Paul Roazen y Teresa Yuan. De manera paulatina, el lector encontrará en estas páginas una impresión de coherencia ética y profesional en el tratamiento de temas que le dan sentido a aquel primer deseo, y que revelan que “nuestras decisiones siempre están estrechamente unidas a lo que imaginamos”.
