ABSTRACT

The present volume deals with the subject of national identities and sociopolitical changes in Latin America, viewing the latter as a “complex, conflictive and interdependent totality, while addressing, as a single object of knowledge, the interaction between all symbolic societal practices in a state of society” (xii). Within this framework, some of the contributors write from an interdisciplinary perspective while others follow a more disciplinary approach with either a humanities or social sciences orientation.
