In his new book Cartographies of Youth Resistance: Hip Hop, Punk, and Urban Autonomy in Mexico, sociocultural anthropologist Maurice Rafael Magaña explores the political role of urban youth in Oaxaca City during and after the social movement formed in 2006. There was a before and after this movement for the Indigenous and migrant youth of this city, one that the author categorizes as catalyzed by the “2006 Generation” (14). This book analyzes what happens when militarization, neoliberal development and criminalization of young activists collide with a strong political movement such as the one in Oaxaca.

Un grupo de soldados bolivianos espera en el otrora campo de batalla en el Chaco Boreal, la llegada de su antiguo comandante de escuadra. Mientras el anciano militar agoniza, los caídos en la guerra con el Paraguay relatan la vida de su viejo comandante de escuadra, que asumió el mando sobre sus vidas siendo un adolescente, y la relación que tuvo con un pequeño soldado aymara.

Michel-Rolph Trouillot’s first book, Ti difé boulé sou istoua Ayiti [Stirring the Pot of Haitian History] (1977), exposes the foundational role of Haitian Vodou and the Kreyòl language in Haiti’s Revolution (1791-1804). The unprecedented victory achieved by the enslaved people in the former French colony of Saint Domingue was a useful paradigm for subsequent Latin American independence movements, starting with Simón Bolívar’s liberation of Venezuela (1811-19). This essay analyzes selected passages from Ti difé boulé that explicitly incorporate Vodou songs, prayers, and terminology to show how Trouillot provocatively deploys oral sources of historical narrative and memory. The young activist, writing in Haitian Kreyòl from New York City during the darkest days of the Duvalier régime, powerfully contests official versions of Haitian history by emphasizing the Haitian people’s agency. Vodou and Kreyòl, born out of struggle within a repressive colonial framework, are the great coherencies underlying Haitian resistance. Ti difé boulé examines neocolonial patterns of oppression emerging during the nineteenth century and critiques revolutionary icon Toussaint Louverture, revealing how Haiti’s predatory State harnessed Vodou to continue systematically subjugating the Haitian people. Trouillot’s innovative yet understudied masterpiece offers contemporary readers “new narratives” of Haiti. As twin pillars of Haitian resistance and cultural identity, Vodou and Kreyòl remain a vital and vibrant part of the American heritage. They merit more nuanced understandings within a cultural and political context where they have increasingly come under siege, inside and outside of Haiti.

El presente trabajo es una lectura de la debilitación de los derechos humanos que viven los personajes contagiados de una desconocida enfermedad en la novela Salón de belleza de Mario Bellatin. Se estudia desde la necropolítica, lo que significa que la soberanía de los ciudadanos en la novela está fundada en la mortalidad; mientras que, ellos luchan por vivir. El estudio conecta los fines necropolíticos de las entidades en poder dentro de la obra con los métodos biopolíticos que emplean para lograrlos. Se lee la discriminación que los contagiados viven y el ostracismo que resulta de ella, y cómo reacciona el protagonista ante estas presiones. Sus acciones son (in)conscientemente ambiguas y no resuelven nada porque el rechazo social sigue perpetuándose hasta después de su muerte. Los estragos médicos y psicológicos de la enfermedad le agregan miseria a la vida ya discriminada de los contagiados, hasta el punto de incapacitarlos en la sociedad. Es decir, la enfermedad los excluye de una sociedad neoliberal que antes los explotaba hasta consumirlos. De ninguna de las dos formas resulta una alternativa sostenible para seguir viviendo.
这篇文章是对Mario Bellatin的小说salon de belleza中受一种未知疾病感染的人物所经历的人权削弱的解读。从死亡政治的角度来研究，这意味着小说中公民的主权是建立在死亡的基础上的;与此同时，他们挣扎着生存。这项研究将作品中掌权实体的死亡政治目的与他们实现这些目的所采用的生物政治方法联系起来。这本书讲述了那些被感染的人所经历的歧视和由此产生的排斥，以及主人公对这些压力的反应。他们的行为是故意模棱两可的，并没有解决任何问题，因为社会排斥一直持续到他们死后。医生和心理疾病的破坏他痛苦生活受到歧视的感染,在社会上至incapacitarlos点。换句话说，疾病将他们排除在以前剥削他们的新自由主义社会之外。任何两种方式是保持住在一个可持续的替代。

Establishing an intertextual relation between Restrepo’s novel and García Márquez’s story, this paper examines how Restrepo’s paired commitment to socio-political relevance and to broad legibility shapes her novel’s engagement with the legacy of magic realism and with discursive, especially novelistic, conventions more generally. A comparative analysis of thematic and formal features highlights how this commitment molds Dulce compañía’s recapitulation of the theme of the angel of flesh and blood within an updated, urban context and in a commercially successful novel with an international readership. Focusing on narrative and figurative, especially allegorical, discourses, I consider that while the angel allegory in “Un señor muy viejo” is used to excavate literary-rhetorical issues of representation (as argued by Carlos Rincón), in Dulce compañía it is oriented towards the preservative revelation of popular forms of belief that emerge from the lived experience of violence and abandonment.
