Based on literary sources and testimonies, this article analyses how the presence of human remains has affected the ways of life in territories marked by necropolitics, transforming the perception of the threshold between life and death, and the conditions of existence of those involved. First, the article explores how the inhabitants of places located on the banks of the Magdalena and Cauca rivers have elaborated their interactions with the remains that appear on the rivers, and how these interactions produce frictions with expert knowledge and practices such as forensic practices. Secondly, the article describes how through different material and aesthetic mediations these banished corpses have been inscribed in the texture of everyday life. These material and aesthetic mediations include the choosing of ánimas of “NN” corpses (unidentified) in Puerto Berrío or the construction of a Park-Monument in Trujillo to keep the remains of corpses that have been identified there.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13569325.2021.1885356","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49221962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The foundations of this site are the product of the accumulated rubble that was deposited there by the city council during Argentina's last dictatorship (1976–1983), mainly with the purpose of settling a terrain for the construction of a new municipal Administrative Centre. However, the Administrative Centre was never built and the rubble was colonised by all sorts of flora and fauna coming down the river. After the dictatorship ended, the zone was designated as the “Parque Nacional y Reserva ecológica.” In this article we explore the Reserva as a visible and public space that evidences the ongoing dialectic of construction and destruction that underlies the projects for refurbishment carried out by the last civilian-military government. Taking this as our point of departure, we examine the ways in which the rubble – as the left-over material of the demolitions carried out by the dictatorship – is (re)connected to the space of the city and its history. We analyse the place that the rubble's illicit origin occupies in the history of the Reserva and how this space is conceived, used, and imagined today. Our argument is structured in three parts. In the first, we focus our investigation on the Reserva's genesis. In the second, we look at how the space of the Reserva is being rewritten by the neoliberal city council, which uses “ecological” discourse while deliberately overlooking the site's unlawful origin. In the third part, we explore uses of the concept of ecology that might foster a more profound understanding of the complexities of this terrain. We conclude with a reflection on the various uses and discourses that criss-cross the space of the Reserva today.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13569325.2021.1884056","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41465286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It re-examines the work of renowned criollo painter Alejandro Bonilla to show that while the nationalisation of ruins through consumer culture in La Zona (the present-day name for colonial Santo Domingo) fuelled a fin-de-siècle cultural effervescence, this visuality made no effort to conceal the racial difference in the Dominican elite’s fragmented nationalism. Contrasting the elite vision of colonial ruins in La Zona with that of US imperial commodity racism in print culture, the article reveals how after 1916 local intellectuals reframed La Zona’s colonial ruins into an anti-colonial, anti-Black, and Hispanicised state optic for mass consumption. Yet La Zona also allows us to see the histories of Black freedom and resistance inscribed in its colonial ruins, which still stand as records attesting to settler colonialism’s racialised and gendered liminal experiences.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13569325.2020.1832450","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42245650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In its depiction of a nameless zombie scientist who pretends to be a living being and successfully assimilates into the community of the living without detection, Cabiya’s text not only departs from the traditional zombie archetype. It also unfolds as a philosophical exploration of what it means to be alive when one is born into a political ontology that has always already defined and marked some as dead. Interrogating the disjuncture between the vital signs of life codified in Western scientific discourse and the zombie’s simulation of life, the essay argues that Malas hierbas adapts the trope of racial passing to show how the meaning of life moves from ontology of existence to a category of identity, like race, legal personhood, and citizenship. Situating the novel in its Haitian and Dominican contexts, where race constitutes markers of national identity and juridical status, the essay connects the zombie’s passing life to contemporary representations of Haitians as impostors who must play dead, on both sides of Hispaniola, as a means of survival.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13569325.2021.1876646","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49581665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I build on a growing corpus of work that uses film analysis to explore the spatiality of dictatorship memories and legacies in the Southern Cone. Unlike more conventional “sites of memory”, La Moneda is simultaneously a functioning government building, a site of violence, and an object of heritage. This complex temporal fabric makes it a powerful space for political interventions, a setting that can sharpen the continuities and symmetries between different historical events and periods. Drawing on theories of inheritance and haunting, I first examine the hegemonic temporalities of progress and heritage that frame the building, moving on to reflect on the alternative temporal imaginaries offered by film. In these texts the palace is haunted by images of its own destruction in 1973, as well as by the figure of Salvador Allende, whose prophesy of future emancipation sits uncomfortably with triumphalist accounts of the Chilean democratic transition. Through my analysis, I explore how site-specific struggles for historical justice are imbricated in resistance to ongoing state repression, and the formulation of alternatives to neoliberal capitalism.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13569325.2020.1859358","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49371182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the theoretical framework of Speech Analysis, we will observe how a re-foundational spirit and the construction of a collective memory intersect in these speeches in a special way. In contrast with other pronouncements by the Argentine leader, his attempts to commemorate Malvinas do not lean on generational traits identified with the 1970s and militancy; the intention here is to extol a respect for the institutions of the state while mobilising traditional ideas regarding the correspondence between nation and territory. We will show that from these axes Kirchner delineates a collective identity understood in terms of political belonging to the nation, re-signifying the Malvinas question as a matter of social inclusion. We will also see how the notion of “internal exile” links the figure of the Malvinas veteran to a Kirchnerist spirit of national re-foundation. For this analysis we will work with a corpus formed by speeches paying homage to Malvinas war veterans, delivered by Néstor Kirchner every 2 April, during his time in office (2003–2007).","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13569325.2021.1878117","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60083215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
