Book Description
Este libro representa, por encima de todo, una clara advertencia. Y una advertencia es, según nos enseñara Nils Christie, “un acto de optimismo”. ¿Por qué la sensibilidad actual es, más que diferente, radicalmente opuesta al humanismo predominante en el novecientos? ¿Por qué nuestros tatarabuelos o bisabuelos imaginaban un Uruguay entre todos -ni exterminio ni exterminables, sin excepción- y hoy, con fuerza cada vez mayor, existe un clamor de “muerte civil” cuando no, lisa y llanamente, de regreso a la pena de muerte para los autores de ciertos delitos? ¿Qué razón hace que en nuestras cárceles abunden quienes no tienen aún sentencia definitiva? ¿Por qué las personas privadas de libertad no trabajan y por qué las cárceles no rehabilitan a los infractores? ¿Cómo sería posible superar este estado de cosas? La presente obra ofrece al lector un amplio y complementario conjunto de respuestas a estas cuestiones. Esta obra, por la excelencia y complementariedad de los enfoques que reúne, se perfila como un valioso insumo para la mejora de nuestro sistema penal. Con optimismo confiamos que así será, porque la prudencia y el coraje para enfrentar los problemas, por graves que sean, forman parte de nuestro ser nacional, y porque la filosofía, la buena filosofía es, en esencia, el preámbulo de toda acción inteligente. Del Prólogo del Dr. Alvaro Garcé García y Santos

Afterlives of Confinement
Author: Susana Draper
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Pre
ISBN: 0822978067
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
During the age of dictatorships, Latin American prisons became a symbol for the vanquishing of political opponents, many of whom were never seen again. In the postdictatorship era of the 1990s, a number of these prisons were repurposed into shopping malls, museums, and memorials. Susana Draper uses the phenomenon of the "opening" of prisons and detention centers to begin a dialog on conceptualizations of democracy and freedom in post-dictatorship Latin America. Focusing on the Southern Cone nations of Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina, Draper examines key works in architecture, film, and literature to peel away the veiled continuity of dictatorial power structures in ensuing consumer cultures. The afterlife of prisons became an important tool in the "forgetting" of past politics, while also serving as a reminder to citizens of the liberties they now enjoyed. In Draper's analysis, these symbols led the populace to believe they had attained freedom, although they had only witnessed the veneer of democracy—in the ability to vote and consume. In selected literary works by Roberto Bola–o, Eleuterio Fernandez Huidoboro, and Diamela Eltit and films by Alejandro Agresti and Marco Bechis, Draper finds further evidence of the emptiness and melancholy of underachieved goals in the afterlife of dictatorships. The social changes that did not occur, the inability to effectively mourn the losses of a now-hidden past, the homogenizing effects of market economies, and a yearning for the promises of true freedom are thematic currents underlying much of these texts. Draper's study of the manipulation of culture and consumerism under the guise of democracy will have powerful implications not only for Latin Americanists but also for those studying neoliberal transformations globally.

The Latin American Casebook
Author: Juan F. Gonzalez-Bertomeu
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317026209
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Traditionally relegated because of political pressure and public expectations, courts in Latin America are increasingly asserting a stronger role in public and political discussions. This casebook takes account of this phenomenon, by offering a rigorous and up-to-date discussion of constitutional adjudication in Latin America in recent decades. Bringing to the forefront the development of constitutional law by Latin American courts in various subject matters, the volume aims to highlight a host of creative arguments and solutions that judges in the region have offered. The authors review and discuss innovative case law in light of the countries’ social, political and legal context. Each chapter is devoted to a discussion of a particular area of judicial review, from freedom of expression to social and economic rights, from the internalization of human rights law to judicial checks on the economy, from gender and reproductive rights to transitional justice. The book thus provides a very useful tool to scholars, students and litigants alike.

Public Security and Police Reform in the Americas
Author: John Bailey
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Pre
ISBN: 0822972948
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
The events of September 11, 2001, combined with a pattern of increased crime and violence in the 1980s and mid-1990s in the Americas, has crystallized the need to reform government policies and police procedures to combat these threats. Public Security and Police Reform in the Americas examines the problems of security and how they are addressed in Latin America and the United States. Bailey and Dammert detail the wide variation in police tactics and efforts by individual nations to assess their effectiveness and ethical accountability. Policies on this issue can take the form of authoritarianism, which threatens the democratic process itself, or can, instead, work to "demilitarize" the police force. Bailey and Dammert argue that although attempts to apply generic models such as the successful "zero tolerance" created in the United States to the emerging democracies of Latin America—where institutional and economic instabilities exist—may be inappropriate, it is both possible and profitable to consider these issues from a common framework across national boundaries. Public Security and Police Reform in the Americas lays the foundation for a greater understanding of policies between nations by examining their successes and failures and opens a dialogue about the common goal of public security.
