Monstruos, vampiros, caníbales, fantasmas, desdichados que han sido enterrados vivos, locos, enfermos, extranjeros, vecinos a los que no conocemos lo suficiente, simples nómadas: avatares todos del miedo, sombras que se apoderan de nuestros peores sueños, que encarnan dimensiones de la alteridad que nos estremecen, a la vez que nos hacen sentir de forma privilegiada el calor de nuestra propia condición humana. Todos ellos (y unos cuantos más) se dan cita en las páginas de este libro, que, a mitad de camino entre la historia de la cultura y de las mentalidades, el tratado antropológico y la leyenda urbana, ha sido construido con las aportaciones de antropólogos, historiadores y filólogos empeñados en dibujar un mapa del horror con los trazos de la ciencia.

Critical Medical Anthropology presents inspiring work from scholars doing and engaging with ethnographic research in or from Latin America, addressing themes that are central to contemporary Critical Medical Anthropology (CMA). This includes issues of inequality, embodiment of history, indigeneity, non-communicable diseases, gendered violence, migration, substance abuse, reproductive politics and judicialisation, as these relate to health. The collection of ethnographically informed research, including original theoretical contributions, reconsiders the broader relevance of CMA perspectives for addressing current global healthcare challenges from and of Latin America. It includes work spanning four countries in Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala and Peru) as well as the trans-migratory contexts they connect and are defined by. By drawing on diverse social practices, it addresses challenges of central relevance to medical anthropology and global health, including reproduction and maternal health, sex work, rare and chronic diseases, the pharmaceutical industry and questions of agency, political economy, identity, ethnicity, and human rights.

This book charts the development of forensic anthropology teams in Latin America and surveys their main characteristics, achievements, and challenges in light of a recent past fraught with state repression and violence. The volume contains contributions by an interdisciplinary group of scholars from several Latin American universities, with chapters on Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Peru, Guatemala, and Mexico. These countries’ shared legacy is a host of human rights violations that continue to have an impact on present day society. Following the move towards democracy and a public demand for truth and justice, the volume highlights the role of forensic anthropology teams and their contribution as a source of information for the historical narrative, as a legal asset in enforcing the right to truth, and in achieving reparation for victims. This collection will be of interest to scholars from Anthropology, Latin American Studies, Politics, and History.

The end of the world is a seemingly interminable topic Ð at least, of course, until it happens. Environmental catastrophe and planetary apocalypse are subjects of enduring fascination and, as ethnographic studies show, human cultures have approached them in very different ways. Indeed, in the face of the growing perception of the dire effects of global warming, some of these visions have been given a new lease on life. Information and analyses concerning the human causes and the catastrophic consequences of the planetary ‘crisis’ have been accumulating at an ever-increasing rate, mobilising popular opinion as well as academic reflection. In this book, philosopher Déborah Danowski and anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro offer a bold overview and interpretation of these current discourses on ‘the end of the world’, reading them as thought experiments on the decline of the West’s anthropological adventure Ð that is, as attempts, though not necessarily intentional ones, at inventing a mythology that is adequate to the present. This work has important implications for the future development of ecological practices and it will appeal to a broad audience interested in contemporary anthropology, philosophy, and environmentalism.

Between the late 1970s and the mid-1980s, the people of Guatemala were subjected to a state-sponsored campaign of political violence and repression designed to not only defeat a left-wing, revolutionary insurgency but also destroy Mayan communities and culture. The Mayan Indians in the western highlands were labeled by the government as revolutionary sympathizers, and many Mayan women lost husbands, sons, and other family members who were brutally murdered or who simply "disappeared." Based on years of field research conducted in the rural highlands, Fear as a Way of Life traces the intricate links between the recent political violence and repression and the long-term systemic violence connected with class inequalities and gender and ethnic oppression––the violence of everyday life.

This book offers anthropological insights into disasters in Latin America. It fills a gap in the literature by bringing together national and regional perspectives in the study of disasters. The book essentially explores the emergence and development of anthropological studies of disasters. It adopts a methodological approach based on ethnography, participant observation, and field research to assess the social and historical constructions of disasters and how these are perceived by people of a certain region. This regional perspective helps assess long-term dynamics, regional capacities, and regional-global interactions on disaster sites. With chapters written by prominent Latin American anthropologists, this book also considers the role of the state and other nongovernmental organizations in managing disasters and the specific conditions of each country, relative to a greater or lesser incidence of disastrous events. Globalizing the existing literature on disasters with a focus on Latin America, this book offers multidisciplinary insights that will be of interest to academics and students of geography, anthropology, sociology, and political science.

Dwellers of Memory is an ethnographic study of how urban youth in Colombia came to be at the intersection of multiple forms of political, drug-related, and territorial violence in a country undergoing forty years of internal armed conflict. It examines the ways in which youth in the city of Medellin reconfigure their lives and, cultural worlds in the face of widespread violence. This violence has transgressed familiar boundaries and destroyed basic social supports and networks of trust. This volume attempts to map and understand its patterns and flows. The author explores how Medellin's youth locate themselves and make, sense of violence through contradictory and shifting memory practices. The violence has not completely taken over their cultural worlds or their subjectivities. Practices of remembering and forgetting are key methods by which these youth rework their identities and make sense of the impact of violence on their lives. While the experience of violence is rooted in urban space and urban youth, the memory dwellers use a sense of place, oral histories of death, and narratives of fear as survival strategies for inhabiting violent neighborhoods. The book also examines fissures in memory, the contradictory constructions of young people's subjective selves, and practices of gendered violence and terror. All have and continue to pose risks to the historical memory and cultural survival of the residents of Medellin. Dwellers of Memory offers an alternative ethnographic approach to the study of memory and violence, one that calls into question whether the, role of the ethnographer of violence is to be a mere witness of terror, or to oppose it by writing against it. It will be of interest to sociologists, anthropologists, and students of, ethnography.

"Avoiding the lure of a psychological conceptualisation of fear, all chapters in this volume substantiate the criticism towards specific postmodern trends in anthropology that would rather focus on the individual dimension of fear, thus missing its social aspects. Fear cannot and must not be reduced to an emotional phenomenon, but must rather be regarded by anthropologists as the prime mover of rational management in dangerous or risky situations. The various forms of fear appear to be shaped by societies." -- Christian Giordano, U. of Fribourg (Series: Fribourg Studies in Social Anthropology / Freiburger Sozialanthropologische Studien / Etudes d'Anthropologie Sociale de l'Universite de Fribourg - Vol. 41)

Con la intención de reformular la medicina desde sus mismas bases, el médico alemán Viktor von Weizsäcker (1886-1957) propuso una Medicina Antropológica, que tuviera en cuenta al ser humano como un todo: cuerpo, alma y espíritu que, según pensaba, no son entidades separadas, sino distintos aspectos de un todo inseparable. Weizsäcker creía que era imprescindible tener en cuenta el entorno social de los pacientes, intensamente afectados por factores religiosos, políticos, económicos y culturales. Su obra representa una contribución trascendental a la hora de superar el mecanicismo y el materialismo de las ciencias médicas. Es considerado como uno de los fundadores de la medicina psicosomática. Además de haber desarrollado intensos estudios de medicina, el autor era un profundo conocedor de la filosofía y poseía también extensos conocimientos de psicoanálisis. Creía que sólo la introducción de la psicología profunda en la medicina podía ayudar verdaderamente a comprender el padecimiento de un enfermo. Este libro reúne una selección de artículos escritos por Weizsäcker en distintas épocas de su vida. Traducidos por primera vez al español, representan un aporte especialmente valioso para el conocimiento y estudio de su obra.

¿Por qué y a qué tenemos miedo? ¿Es el miedo un instinto, una herida o una herramienta? ¿Cómo es posible que en algunos momentos podamos disfrutarlo e, incluso, lleguemos a buscarlo? Ignacio Padilla examina, desde diversas perspectivas, una de las emociones humanas más profundas y primitivas para desarrollar una verdadera teoría del miedo y lo monstruoso. La primera parte de El legado de los monstruos analiza el potencial del miedo como combustible estético y sociopolítico. La ficción -ya sea la ficción épica, religiosa, literaria o cinematográfica- nos permite procesar la energía liberada por el miedo y convertirla en un impulso creador. Esto lo han sabido y aprovechado numerosos artistas de todas las épocas, pero también muchos políticos y mercadólogos, que han lucrado y gobernado con el miedo. En la segunda parte, el autor pasa revista a algunos de los principales monstruos de la historia. Ogros, brujas, fantasmas, zombis, vampiros, robots, extraterrestres: los monstruos cambian para ajustarse a los tiempos, pero siempre constituyen un espejo cóncavo en el que nos reflejamos horrorizados y embelesados. Pues -como la materia y la energía- los miedos no se crean ni se destruyen, sólo se transforman.
