The article presents a study of transcultural transformation in cinema, considering the filmmaker as a transnational figure. This is the gradual creation of a cinematic map based on affinitive transnationalism, which integrates forms of expression that are now considered archetypal. Members of the “imagined” cultural community construct a mosaic of shared references that transcend national boundaries. Based on this concept, a study of the organisational practices of filmmaker Carlos Saura has been conducted. This concept was the basis for a study of the organisational practices of director Carlos Saura, who in his last phase of his career focused on making films that offer samples of music, dance and unusual storytelling (based on the principle of “photography”) associated to the Iberian and Latin American space. This creates a special definition of the musical and artistic genres, combining traces of a documentary style influencing the authenticity of the representations depicted, with a strong aesthetic impulse emphasising the organisational and artistic nature of these representations. This model of transnationalism takes the form of reflection of trans-Iberian dimensions.

Although there are dozens of countries with present day border disputes, few have received such unrelenting international focus as Israel. Maps, cartography and geographic education support the developing doctrine of national boundaries that form collective national identity and ideology. Geographically, throughout the past century, the borders of Israel have become a melding of the phenomena of national identity with physical territory – also referred to as territorial socialization. My paper argues that Israel’s use of geographic description of borders specifically through cartography over time is an example of how boundaries are a powerful tool in the naturalization of ideology of Jewish Israelis. This argument is analyzed by examining historical and biblical cartography, territorial evolution, geography curriculum and textbooks, the Atlas of Israel and mental mapping by citizens. Varying portrayals of Israel’s historical, biblical, natural and political boundaries creates an ambiguous definition of Israel’s borders for citizens. In turn, this importantly shapes the present day religious and seculargeographies of the population of Israel as well as the political behaviours by the democratically representative Israeli government.

 From the period of its development during the late 19th century, Harlem has experienced rapid growth, both spatially and aesthetically. A rich variety of literature has emerged, and continues to emerge, from its diverse and multicultural scene, prompting a new critical approach in academic scholarship. This thesis explores the transnational impact of Harlem, from the emergence of its cultural renaissance to its contemporary aesthetic presence. Specifically, it will consider the recently published work of Latin-American author Valeria Luiselli, discussing the transnational dimensions of her novel, and the re-definition of Harlem as a space without aesthetic or spatial boundaries.

Modern Nation State

This chapter examines the bottom-up justification for the formation of the modern nation-state. It suggests that borderless states are dystopian, noting that in order to be democratic and promote justice, states must depend on a clear definition of territory and membership. The chapter elaborates how the borders and demarcation helped individuals define their identity, providing them with interpretive tools to decipher reality and make sense of their daily actions. It then explains the term human, human features, and identity. The chapter also explicates the need to belong to a cultural community, a nation, or any other particular group. It argues that it is an epistemological need for systems of interpretation that will allow us to understand the world and choose a way of life as well as a creative need for means of interpretation, exchange, and expression. Ultimately, the chapter assesses the negative effect of divided communities on human behavior.

Abstract Theories of demographic change have not paid enough attention to how factors associated with fertility decline play different roles across social classes that are defined multidimensionally. I use a multidimensional definition of social class along with information on the reproductive histories of women born between 1920 and 1965 in six Latin American countries to show the following: the enduring connection between social stratification and fertility differentials, the concomitance of diverse fertility decline trajectories by class, and the role of within- and between-class social distances in promoting/preventing ideational change towards the acceptance of lower fertility. These results enable me to revisit the scope of theories of fertility change and to provide an explanatory narrative centred on empirically constructed social classes (probable social classes) and the macro- and micro-level conditions that influenced their life courses. I use 21 census samples collected between 1970 and 2005 in Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Paraguay.

Definition Of

Recent scholarly work on Latin American religion reflects the pluralism and fragmentation of both religion and civil society. What effect will religious practice at the local, “micro” level have on institutions and structures at the “macro” level-namely, the process of democratization? A deeper, simultaneously more foundational and more encompassing definition of democratic politics might be involved. In an increasingly global context, the study of religion and social change in Latin America and among U.S. Latinos needs to take a comparative, truly interamerican approach.

The seventeenth session of the contracting parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was held in Geneva from October 31 to November 19, 1960, under the chairmanship of Mr. Edmundo Penna Barbosa da Silva (Brazil). One of the main items of discussion was regional economic integration, considered in terms of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), the proposed Latin American free trade area, and the European Economic Community (EEC). Examination of the Stockholm Convention establishing EFTA, begun at the sixteenth session, was resumed, with the contracting parties concluding that the provisions concerning the setting up, within the time limit set forth in the convention, of a free trade area were within the definition of such an area, as contained in Article XXIV of GATT. Delegates felt, however, that there remained some legal and practical issues which could be more fruitfully discussed in the light of experience of the operation of the convention, and thus welcomed the willingness of EFTA members to furnish additional information as the organization evolved. In examining the Montevideo Treaty proposing a Latin American free trade area, delegates reached much the same conclusions. In response to the report on developments within EEC, particularly with regard to tariffs, delegates expressed a desire to receive details on the common agricultural policy of the Community, and raised queries as to the harmful effect of the Community's progressively favorable treatment of the associated territories on the trade of certain outside countries with EEC.

Last August of this year, the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, through the Law School, by initiative of the College of Professors of Criminal Law, in response to the suspension of academic activities, as a result of the pandemic that afflicts the world arising from the SARS-Cov2 virus, taking advantage of digital platforms available to people at this time as a tool to use to communicate at a distance, organized the First International Virtual Congress of Criminal Law. In this event, more than 130 academics from different Latin American Universities participated as speakers, who presented on topics of the criminal legal reality, both substantive and adjective, in the panels that were organized by themes that addressed different concepts in these specialties. The Congress was embellished by Magisterial Conferences issued by Masters Emeritus and Deans of the Faculty of Law of the UNAM and other law schools of invited countries.The importance of the Congress surprised the Academic Forum, almost twenty thousand people registered and approximately two million of them accessed the event that was transmitted and broadcast on social networks through the Facebook platform “Live streaming”. From the approaches that were most emphasized in the presentations, the concern of the present article is born. Specifically, it highlights concerns about exercise, it highlights the concern about the arbitrary exercise of criminal law due to its punitive nature and the importance of limiting the excess in its application, respecting in general the human rights of individuals and, in particular, those recognized for the parties in the procedural rules, this in equity with the Fundamental Principles of the Prosecution Systems in the accusatory model, already adopted in practically all democratic countries in Latin America. This highlights the need for a new definition of preventive prison, conceived now as a precautionary measure and its intimate relation with the principle of the “Presumption of Innocence”, in whose application there must be absolute communion, a necessary condition in order to have a profound and definitive vision in the protection of Human rights.
