Late Twentieth Century

A finales del siglo XX Colombia ha ingresado paulatinamente en los procesos de libre comercialización con otros países, derivados de las dinámicas del mercado a nivel internacional; entre estos se encuentran el de la apertura económica en la década de los noventa y en la actualidad, el Tratado de Libre Comercio (TLC). El TLC, ha sido objeto de una serie de inconformidades planteadas por parte de algunos sectores económicos, como es el caso de los cultivadores de trigo en todo el país y particularmente, quienes habitan en el departamento de Nariño. Tal inconformidad, va más allá del simple desacuerdo por la firma del tratado y radica en las características de su discurso, que se argumentan desde el gobierno nacional. El artículo analiza dichas características discursivas con relación al papel que han desempeñado los cultivadores de trigo. Para ello y a partir de las herramientas teórico-metodológicas ofrecidas por el análisis social del discurso, se busca determinar las cualidades de la “estructura social discursiva” derivada del mencionado proceso. Se encontró que al interior de dicha estructura, los campesinos cultivadores de trigo, irrumpen y develan lo oculto del discurso oficial del tratado, a través de un proceso de resistencia en contra de su implementación y, dando a conocer las consecuencias negativas que el mismo produciría en su contexto social.ABSTRACTSince the late twentieth century, Colombia has been gradually involved in the processes of free trading with other countries on account of the marketing dynamics at an international level. These processes include the economic opening in the decade of 1990, and the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) at present. The FTA has been the subject of a series of unconformities established by some economic sectors, such as the wheat growers throughout the country, particularly, those who inhabit the Department of Nariño. These unconformities go beyond the simple disagreement caused by the signing of the treaty, and lies in the characteristics of the FTA discourses argued by the national government. The present study analyzes the discursive features in relation to the role that wheat growers play; for this reason, and based on the theoretical and methodological foundations offered from the social analysis of the discourse, it intends to determine the characteristics of the “discursive social structure” derived from this process. The data showed that, inside the referred structure, the wheat farmers gained access and unveiled the hidden side of the official discourse of the treaty, through a process of resistance against its implementation, and revealing the negative consequences it would produce in its social context.

With the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement); the EZLN (Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional), and political crisis/reform all posing questions both old and new about Mexican nationalism, this article reconsiders the dimensions of the subject, the issues, and the empirical evidence. After setting out an analytical and theoretical framework for the study of nationalism, it concentrates on the many components of Mexican nationalism, the historic and on-going nationalist debates over the Indian, the American and the state, and the nature of nationalist policies over the years. It then reviews research related to such theoretical issues as the linkages between nationalist sentiments, ideas and policies, the social bases of nationalist ideas and perceptions, and the changes in nationalism. The article aims to place longstanding discussions of Mexican nationalism in a theoretical context and to derive conclusions which indicate appropriate directions for future research.

The subject of his article reflects what Robert Crawford has called ‘a growing wariness of notions of an essentialist Scotland’ (1994, p. 57). The article has been written partly as a contribution to the critique of ‘essentialist’ notions of national identity in gerneral and ‘Scottishness’ in particular. I share the concern of Stuart Hall (1990; 1995) and others (Massey 1991; Rose 1995) to challenge ideas which reproduce notions of the ‘boundedness’ or ‘purity’ of territorial and national identities; whilst recognising that such identities are, by definition, only likely to change slowly (Therborn 1995). My approach to the analysis of national identity is to try to follow the ‘social construction of reality’ thinking which informs much current writing on the relationships between ethnicity, place and identity (Jackson and Penrose 1993). From that point of view, regarding Scottish national cultural identity in the late twentieth century,

Es la historia de unos estudiantes radicales: “los enfermos”, que conjuntamente con los trabajadores del transporte público de Sinaloa (México) se lanzaron a la lucha en contra de las autoridades gubernamentales exigiendo mejoras salariales para los segundos. El movimiento camionero trascendió esos objetivos. El presente ensayo pretende reconstruir la historia del principal movimiento social urbano desplegado en Sinaloa a fines del siglo XX. Basado en las propuestas de la historia social analizamos cuatro aristas fundamentales de una protesta popular que desembocó en que un grupo de estudiantes de la Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa se declararan en la clandestinidad y desde ahí lanzaran su lucha revolucionaria contra el Estado mexicano. Las vertientes aquí consideradas son: a) el ambiente sociopolítico estatal, b) orígenes y desarrollo del movimiento camionero, c) saldos de la lucha obrera estudiantil, y finalmente d) los efectos políticos que ejerció sobre “los enfermos” el desenlace final de la protesta.Palabras claves: izquierdismo, movimiento Social, Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa, “enfermos”.Radical Students and Urban Bus Drivers: the Case of the Social Bus Movement Occurred  on October 1972AbstractIt is the story of a radical student "Los Enfermos", which together with public transport workers in Sinaloa (Mexico) took to the fight against government authorities demanding better wages for the latter. The bus driver movement transcended those goals. This paper aims to reconstruct the history of the main urban social movement Sinaloa deployed in late twentieth century. Based on the proposals of social history to analyze four fundamental edges of a popular protest that led a group of students from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa were declared in the underground and from there launched their revolutionary struggle against the Mexican state. The aspects considered here are: a) the state sociopolitical environment, b) movement origins and development of truck driver, c) balances student labor struggle, and finally d) the political effects exerted on "Los Enfermos" the final outcome of the protest.Keyword: leftism, social movement, Autonomous University of Sinaloa, “Enfermos”.

This chapter analyses inns, taverns, and public houses in their social context, exploring their organizational identity and the social positions of their owners/tenants. It examines how patrons express their class, gender, and national identity by participation in different kinds of sociality. Seventeenth- and eighteenth-century hostelries afforded more opportunities for cross-class sociability than in later centuries. Social mixing was facilitated because the venues fulfilled multiple economic, social, and political functions, thereby providing room for social interaction apart from communal drinking and eating. Yet, even in these earlier centuries, each type of hostelry already had a distinctive class character, shaping its organizational identity. Division along lines of class hardened, and social segregation increased in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, up to World War II. In the post-War era, increased democratization of society at large became reflected in easier social mixing in pubs. Despite this democratization, during the late twentieth century the dominant image of pubs as a working-class institution persisted.

Global Conference

Drawing on observations at the 2017 Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF) – a global conference held in Christchurch, New Zealand – this paper examines the significance of localised event spaces in shaping economic subjects and, by extension, economic sectors. Conferences such as the SEWF are sites and moments that provide access to new knowledge, foster collective action and shape the subjectivities of economic actors. We describe how the SEWF cultivated sympathetic affective responses towards social enterprise and the subject position of the social entrepreneur, and demonstrate how the local specificities of Christchurch, as a place, were key to the cultivation of social-entrepreneurial subjectivity at the SEWF.

One of the post-modernist approaches to literary criticism is the queer criticism which has not been evaluated properly. Queer criticism can refer to any piece of literary criticism that interprets a text from a non-straight perspective. Therefore, it includes both lesbian and gay criticism. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to trace the social and political reasons behind the emergence of Queer criticism in the late twentieth century till it acquired momentum in the twenty-first century. After trying to define the terms related to the Queer criticism, the paper tries to examine the poetics of queer (gay and lesbian) literary works and to point out the main characteristic features of this critical approach by identifying the criteria and the textual evidence by which a literary work is labeled queer. It, also tries to shed light on the common features between queer criticism and feminism, on the one hand, and queer criticism and the deconstructuralist approach on the other hand. The final section of the study is a critique which points out the negative aspects of this approach.

In this paper the author analyses the new relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Given the scope and complexity of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the intention was not to explain in detail all its aspects, but only the basic and most important provisions. First of all, those of the free trade agreement, but also in the areas where ties are being renewed, which would otherwise be interrupted by the withdrawal of the United Kingdom. Although it does not reflect the benefits of EU membership, the agreement certainly limits the negative consequences compared to the situation without it and provides much needed predictability and certainty, allowing Europe to leave Brexit behind and move on.

This article attempts to evince the political, cultural and affective consequences of Jhumpa Lahiri’s diasporic writings and their particular enunciations of the literary gaze. To do so, it details the manner in which the stories’ exercise of visual operations rigidly corresponds with those of the Panopticon. The essay argues that Lahiri’s narrative produces a kind of panoptic machine that underpins the ‘modes of social regulation and control’ that Foucault has explained as disciplinary technologies. By situating Lahiri’s stories, “A Real Durwan” and “Only Goodness,” within a historical-political context, this essay aims at identifying the way in which panopticism defines her fiction as both a record of and a participant in the social, sexual and political ‘paranoia’ behind the propaganda of America’s self-image as the land of freedom. We maintain that Lahiri’s fiction situates itself in complex relation to the postcolonial concerns of the late twentieth century, suggesting that through their fascination with a visual literalization of the panoptic machine, and by privileging the masculine gaze, the stories legitimate the perpetuation of socially prescribed notion of sexual difference.  Keywords: Gaze, Sexual difference, Panopticon, A Real Durwan, Only Goodness

ABSTRACT Helen Samuels sought to document institutions in society by adding to official archives counterweights of private records and archivist-created records such as oral histories. In this way, she recognized and sought to mitigate biases that arise from institution-centric application of archival functionalism. Samuels's thinking emerged from a late-twentieth-century consensus on the social license for archival appraisal, which formed around the work of West German archivist Hans Booms, who wrote, “If there is indeed anything or anyone qualified to lend legitimacy to archival appraisal, it is society itself.” Today, archivists require renewed social license in light of acknowledgment that North American governments and institutions sought to open lands for settlement and for exploitation of natural resources by removing or eliminating Indigenous peoples. Can a society be said to “lend legitimacy” to archival appraisal when it has grossly violated human, civil, and Indigenous rights? Starting from the question of how to create an adequate archives of Canada's Indigenous residential school system, the author locates Samuels's work amid other late-twentieth-century work on appraisal and asks how far her thinking can take us in pursuit of archival decolonization.
