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.

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.

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.

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.

The environmental history of war, especially its impacts on landscape, encompasses a much broader scope than the conflicts and the historiography of the late twentieth century. Ideas on the social and environmental processes of conflict draw from a much longer, global discourse. This chapter uses the ancient-to-modern conflict landscape of central Vietnam to argue for a multi-layered, broader analysis of the environmental history of conflict.

Late Twentieth Century

The term social exclusion achieved widespread use in Europe from the late twentieth century. Its value as a concept that is different from poverty, with universal relevance, has since been debated. It is used in Western literature about international development, and some authors have linked it to the notion of capabilities. However, it is not widely used in the social work vocabulary. Conversely, the notion of social inclusion has gained in usage and application. This links with values that underlie promotion of empowerment and participation, whether of individuals, groups, or communities. Both terms are inextricably linked to the realities of inequalities within and between societies and to the principles of human rights and social justice that feature in the international definition of social work.

AbstractContemporary discussions of populism elide important distinctions between the ways in which populist leaders and movements respond to the failures of elites to follow through on the promises associated with international social welfare constitutionalism. After laying out the political economy of populisms’ origins, this Article describes the relation between populisms and varieties of liberalism, and specifically the relation between populisms and judicial independence understood as a “veto point” occupied by the elites that populists challenge. It then distinguishes left-wing populisms’ acceptance of the social welfare commitments of late twentieth century liberalism and its rejection of some settled constitutional arrangements that, in populists’ views, obstruct the accomplishment of those commitments. It concludes with a description of the core ethnonationalism of right-wing populism, which sometimes contingently appears in left-wing populisms but is not one the latter’s core components.
