A pesquisa trata de um dos desafios que se apresenta para a teologia latino-americana, que é o aprofundamento das questões que emergem da valorização do pluralismo religioso e como ela incide no fortalecimento da democracia, das práticas ecumênicas e de cunho libertador e da defesa dos direitos humanos e da terra. O ponto central de nossa análise está em torno da revisão metodológica da teologia latino-americana, tendo em vista a diversificação crescente do quadro de pluralismo religioso. Para esta revisão, as questões suscitadas pelas relações entre fés e culturas têm tido destaque. Metodologicamente, identificamos dois blocos para análise. Um que emerge do contexto da teologia feminista latino-americana e outro das teologias afro-indígenas. O esforço da teologia feminista da libertação em buscar imagens femininas de Deus está centrado nas expressões da fé em uma divindade não androcêntrica, que seja fonte de iluminação crítica das formas de patriarcalismos e sexismos. O foco é a vivência espontânea da fé que promova a cura e que valorize o corpo, a sexualidade, o cuidado e a proteção e a responsabilidade ética com a criação e a natureza. A necessidade de mudança de lugar teológico, a partir da realidade das culturas religiosas afro-indígenas, valoriza a contribuição de uma teologia indígena e de uma teologia negra, especialmente por desfrutarem da tensão criativa entre ritualidade e racionalidade e por articularem as subjetividades do mundo afro-indígena e a racionalidade cristã ocidental.Palavras-chave: Teologia da libertação. Teologia feminista. Teologia afro- -indígena. Pluralismo religioso.Abstract: The research deals with one of the challenges that is presented to the Latin American theology that is the deepening of the issues emerging from the appreciation of religious pluralism and how it focuses on strengthening democracy, ecumenical practices and the Hallmark and the protection of human rights and the Earth. The focal point of our analysis is around the methodological revision of Latin American theology in view of the growing diversification of the framework of religious pluralism. For this revision, the issues raised by relations between faiths and cultures have been highlighted. Methodologically, we’ve identified two blocks for analysis. One that emerges from the context of Latin American feminist theology and another of the Afro theology. The effort of the feminist liberation theology in seeking feminine images of God is centered on the expressions of faith in a non-androcentric deity, which is a source of critical illumination of the forms of patriarcalisms and sexism. The focus is the spontaneous living of the faith that promotes healing and that values the body, sexuality, care and protection and ethical responsibility with creation and nature. The need to change theological place from the reality of Afro religious cultures, values the contribution of an indigenous theology and black theology, especially because they enjoy the creative tension between rituality and Rationality and articulate the subjectivities of the Afroindigenous World and Western Christian rationality.Keywords: Theology of liberation.

The Relationship

This article addresses the consequences of economic sanctions for the protection of human rights in Latin America. The literature on sanctions and compliance informs three hypotheses, which investigate the relationship between sanctions and the level of rights protection in two groups of countries: those that were targeted by sanctions and those that were not. Using data from the Political Terror Scale (PTS) and from Freedom House, I find empirical evidence that sanctions do improve the level of protection in countries that were not targeted. This finding can be explained by the deterrent effect attributed to sanctions by the compliance literature, broadly interpreted. The presence of economic sanctions in a given year increases the probability of observing better human rights practices by almost 50%. These results hold for the 12 Latin American countries that were not subject to economic sanctions for the period 1976-2004.

Abstract Background: SARS-CoV-2, a newly identified coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, has challenged health services and profoundly impacted people's lifestyle. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic on food consumption patterns and body weight in adults from 12 Ibero-American countriesMethods: Multicentric, cross-sectional study. Data was collected using an online survey disseminated by social networks. Sample included 10 552 people from Spain and 11 Latin American countries who were selected by snowball sampling.Results: While 38.50% of the sample reported weight gain, 16.90% reported weight lost. Weight change was associated to sex, age, country of residence and education level. People who were not confined, more often reported having maintained their weight in comparison to people who were confined. All Latin American countries showed an increased consumption of sweetened drinks, pastry products, fried foods and alcoholic beverages during confinement. Consumption of eggs and dairy products was independent from body weigh change. People who consumed more fruits and vegetables during the confinement more often reported having lose weight. In contrast, body weight gain during confinement was associated with increased intake of sugary drinks, baked goods and pastries, pizza, fried foods and alcoholic beverages.Conclusions: During COVID-19 confinement all the Latin American countries included in this study showed a change in their consumption patterns toward less healthy diets, which in turn was associated with an increase in the body weight of their population.

Second Wave

One of the most significant phenomena within the Western Church over the past twenty-five years has been the emergence of feminist theology. Fuelled by the second wave of the modern women's movement, drawing upon the theoretical and critical stances of academic feminism, and inspired by Latin American Liberation Theology, feminist theologians have achieved a remarkable body of work in a relatively short time. They have sought to establish the opportunities and validate the methods by which women, long silenced as theological subjects, may articulate their perspectives and contribute towards the reconstruction of a more ‘inclusive’ theological discipline.

Social Upheaval

Chapter 4 addresses three inter-related strategies employed by women following the demise of the Trujillato to reconstruct the body politic in the face of drastic political transition, a second U.S. occupation, and general social upheaval. First, Dominican women again called on the rhetoric of motherhood and maternalism in support of a return to domestic tranquility and for a nation free of dictatorial politics and foreign meddling. Second, political participation by women served to demonstrate a re-envisioning of the nature of Dominican politics through their burgeoning support of full gendered equality. Third, as now long-term members of a number of inter-American organizations, women called for continental solidarity to return sovereignty to Latin American nations plagued by foreign intervention, particularly their own. These strategies demonstrate both the potential for maternal politics as a form of national healing as well is its limitations for creating true gender equity.

Religious Landscape

Latin America is a region where traditional dissenting institutions and denominations have a relatively small footprint, and yet the ideas of dissenting Protestantism play an important, and expanding, role on the religious landscape. Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, Latin America has transitioned from a region with a de jure Catholic monopoly to one marked by religious pluralism and the disestablishment of religion. In the late-twentieth and early-twenty-first centuries, this transition has been especially marked by the rapid growth of Pentecostalism. This chapter analyses the role of dissenting Protestantism during these two centuries of transition and demonstrates how ideas and missionaries from historical dissenting churches combined with local influences to create a unique version of dissent among Latin American Protestants and Pentecostals.
