This paper analyzes the transformative 1994-1998 legislature, its antecedents, and its consequences. It, therefore, explores a political watershed where electoral participation falls dramatically under a stable party system with no authoritarian transition, labelled here as captured democracy. Methodologically, this work performed qualitative coding of media sources to trace how focusing events changed the national political context. Finally, it shows how the simultaneous weakening of the main parties Unidad and Liberación, a bipartisan pact, and several corruption scandals transformed Costa Rican democracy. \u0000Resumen:                Transiciones a una democracia cautiva: Las elecciones en Costa Rica de 1998 como coyuntura crítica\u0000Aunque Costa Rica ha conservado la estabilidad democrática, ha pasado de un bipartidismo de alta participación a una participación menor dentro de un sistema multipartidista. Este artículo analiza la transformadora legislatura de 1994-1998, sus antecedentes y sus consecuencias. Explora, por tanto, una línea divisoria de aguas políticas en la que la participación electoral cayó drásticamente bajo un sistema de partidos estable y sin transición autoritaria, etiquetado aquí como democracia cautiva. Metodológicamente, este trabajo realiza una codificación cualitativa de las fuentes de los medios de comunicación para rastrear cómo centrándose en los acontecimientos cambia el contexto político nacional. Finalmente, se muestra cómo el debilitamiento simultáneo de los principales partidos Unidad y Liberación, un pacto bipartidista y varios escándalos de corrupción transformaron la democracia costarricense.","PeriodicalId":52452,"journal":{"name":"European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46791234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Therapeutic cultures in elite families in Brazil: Life coaching, sociality, and the moral economy of privilege","authors":"A. Ramos-Zayas","doi":"10.32992/erlacs.10918","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32992/erlacs.10918","url":null,"abstract":"Studies of wealth and the family have provided important insights into how financial and legal institutions allow the long-term perpetuation of fortunes, such as inheritance and trust laws, as well as examining the role of family offices and philanthropy as practices that upper-class families use to preserve their wealth across generations. Such scholarship has noticed that a flip side of this is that the family, as a unit involved in the preservation of inter-generational wealth, can also be a site of conflict that ultimately destroys great fortunes. Focusing on life coaching as a growing therapeutic cultural form among the wealthy in Brazil, I expand on these important financial and legal practices to include an often-ignored gendered site of elite reproduction: processes of self-cultivation to accrue interiority currency, as practiced by wealthy parents (especially mothers) in the socialization of family heirs. In this article, I analyze the intersection of wealth, gender, and therapeutic cultures, as they contour sociability and social reproduction in Ipanema, a well-known Rio de Janeiro neighbourhood. I draw from the experience of Vera Ferreira de Oliveira, a Brazilian woman from a working-class family in Niteroi who married into a very wealthy Ipanema family in the early 2000s. Through Vera’s life coaching experience with Katia Coutinho, I investigate the material repercussions (imagined or real) of therapeutic projects designed to alter the inner linings of the self and affective dispositions and to shape elite family sociability. Resumen: Culturas terapéuticas en familias de élite en Brasil: Coaching vital, socialidad y economía moral del privilegioLos estudios sobre la riqueza y la familia han aportado importantes conocimientos sobre cómo las instituciones financieras y jurídicas permiten la perpetuación de las fortunas a largo plazo, como las leyes de sucesión y fideicomiso, además de examinar el papel de las oficinas familiares y la filantropía como prácticas que las familias de clase alta utilizan para preservar su riqueza a través de generaciones. Estos estudios han observado que la otra cara de la moneda es que la familia, como unidad implicada en la preservación de la riqueza intergeneracional, también puede ser un lugar de conflicto que acaba destruyendo grandes fortunas. Centrándome en el coaching vital como forma cultural terapéutica creciente entre los ricos de Brasil, amplío estas importantes prácticas financieras y legales para incluir un lugar de reproducción de la élite a menudo ignorado: los procesos de autocultivo para acumular divisas de interioridad, practicados por progenitores ricos (especialmente las madres) en la socialización de los herederos familiares. En este artículo, analizo la intersección entre riqueza, género y culturas terapéuticas, tal y como conforman la sociabilidad y la reproducción social en Ipanema, un conocido barrio de Río de Janeiro.

Whereas the former has played a pivotal role in geographical research since its introduction in the nineteenth century, the latter has only recently become popular in inter- and transdisciplinary science. The results of this theoretical and conceptual endeavour are used to build a distinctive analytical category: the ‘complex socio-ecological landscape’. We then apply this novel concept to the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011. In doing so, we demonstrate that this landscape in fact exhibits complex adaptive behaviour. We end the article with an analysis of the Cañamomo-Lomaprieta indigenous reservation in the north of the Coffee Cultural Landscape. Participatory mechanisms of transdisciplinary knowledge production have stimulated the emergence of an ancestral governance system in Cañamomo-Lomaprieta, which has reduced the vulnerability of its socio-ecological systems to the effects of small-scale gold mining activities. This case provides important insights into how to stimulate transdisciplinarity in other complex socio-ecological landscapes in Latin America that bear the brunt of extractive activities. Resumen: ‘Paisaje socioecológico complejo’ en Latinoamérica: Conocimiento transdisciplinario para tratar la diversidad Comenzamos este artículo buscando analogías entre los conceptos de paisaje cultural y sistema socioecológico. Mientras que el primero ha desempeñado un papel fundamental en la investigación geográfica desde su introducción en el siglo XIX, el segundo se ha hecho popular solo recientemente en la ciencia inter y transdisciplinaria. Los resultados de este esfuerzo teórico y conceptual se utilizan para construir una categoría analítica distintiva: el ‘paisaje socioecológico complejo’. Luego aplicamos este novedoso concepto al Paisaje Cultural Cafetero de Colombia, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 2011. Mostramos que este paisaje efectivamente exhibe un comportamiento adaptativo complejo. Finalizamos el artículo con un análisis del resguardo indígena Cañamomo-Lomaprieta en el norte de este paisaje. Mecanismos participativos de producción de conocimiento transdisciplinario han estimulado el surgimiento de un sistema de gobernanza ancestral en Cañamomo-Lomaprieta, lo que ha reducido la vulnerabilidad de sus sistemas socioecológicos ante los efectos de las actividades de minería aurífera a pequeña escala. Este caso permite comprender cómo se puede estimular la transdisciplinariedad en otros paisajes socioecológicos complejos en América Latina afectados por actividades extractivas. ","PeriodicalId":52452,"journal":{"name":"European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42289425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
