The Red de Popularización de la Ciencia y la Tecnología en América latina y el Caribe (RedPOP) (Latin American and Caribbean Network for the Popularization of Science and Technology) was created 25 years ago as an expression of a movement that started in the 1960s in favour of a scientific education. The purpose of this movement was to incorporate science into the general knowledge of the population by communicating science through different media, products and spaces such as museums and science centres. Since then, the movement has acquired considerable strength in Latin America and RedPOP has been a key factor to the development of this activity in the region, although several challenges still have to be addressed.

En este artículo se pretende analizar cómo se recibieron y resignificaron las recomendaciones internacionales para limitar la natalidad en algunos países de América Latina, y de modo particular en Argentina, durante las décadas de 1960 y 1970. Tras una caracterización de los primeros programas de planificación familiar que se desarrollaron en Chile, Perú, México, Brasil y Bolivia, la autora se concentra en el caso argentino para indagar los motivos y consecuencias de sus políticas públicas restrictivas sobre la regulación de la fecundidad en un contexto en que la mayor parte de la región aplicaba medidas opuestas. AbstractThis article analyzes the way international recommendations to reduce birth rates in certain Latin American countries, particularly Argentina, in the 1960s and 1970s were received and resignified. After a description of the first family planning programs developed in Chile, Peru, Mexico, Brazil and Bolivia, the author focuses on the case of Argentina to explore the causes and consequences of its public birth control policies in a context in which most of the region adopted opposite measures.

Review of “Gerónimo de Sierra: Cincuenta años de Sociologia Política- Uruguay y América Latina" (Buenos Aires: CLACSO, 2017). This work constitutes a fundamental, and very instigating step, for the recognition of recent Latin American production, and a testimony to the significance of the production of Uruguayan sociologist Gerónimo de Sierra and his contribution to the understanding of Latin American societies, and especially Uruguay and the Southern Cone of Latin America. It should be noted that de Sierra maintains academic ties with several countries in the region and in Europe and either continues to work or has worked in international institutions since the times of his exile. Until recently he has held the position of vice-rector of the University of Latin American Integration (UNILA) in Brazil.

ResumenA pesar que el concepto de gentrificación fue utilizado en la década de los sesenta, es hasta las teorías desarrolladas por Smith y Ley, a finales de los setenta, que comienzan a desarrollarse diversos trabajos empíricos en el mundo anglosajón. Mientras que en América Latina, los trabajos empíricos comienzan a producirse, de manera destacada, hacia la primera década del siglo XXI. Se discuten diversos argumentos que explican la tardía producción de trabajos empíricos sobre casos de gentrificación en ciudades latinoamericanas, exponiendo las principales críticas que se han producido acerca del uso de este concepto, así como del desalojo de una perspectiva crítica, dando como resultado propuestas contrarias al origen del concepto. Por último, se retoman los rasgos que caracterizan los procesos de gentrificación en esta región.AbstractAlthough the concept of gentrification was used in the 1960s, it is even the theories developed by Smith and Ley in the late 1970s that various empirical works in the Anglo-Saxon world are beginning to develop. While in Latin America, the empirical work begins to take place, in a remarkable way, towards the first decade of the 21st century. Several arguments are discussed that explain the late production of empirical work on cases of gentrification in Latin American cities, exposing the main criticisms that have been made about the use of this concept, as well as the eviction of a critical perspective, resulting in proposals that are contrary to the origin of the concept. Finally, the traits that characterize the processes of gentrification in this region are taken.

A partir das ressonâncias provocadas na Igreja latino-americana pelo Sínodo da Amazônia, ocorrido em novembro de 2019, este texto pretende particularizar a questão da inculturação como um importante prisma desde o qual pode ser interpretado não apenas o movimento sinodal, mas a concepção eclesiológica inerente ao magistério de Francisco, que, para nós, é indissociável de quaisquer tentativas de leitura dos últimos acontecimentos. Nesse sentido, o Sínodo Amazônico representa uma espécie de ápice do processo instaurado pelo papa, a começar pelos primeiros documentos emanados de seu pontificado. É, além disso, uma forma de dar protagonismo à Igreja na América Latina, oportunidade de discussão de sua realidade específica, seus desafios e conquistas, a fim de contribuir com o cristianismo católico em todo o mundo. É possível, por isso, estabelecer o percurso sinodal na continuidade de concepções já instauradas pelos documentos da Conferência Episcopal Latino-americana e Caribenha (CELAM), talvez como o mais importante acontecimento em termos eclesiais e pastorais dessa porção da Igreja desde o Concílio Vaticano II. Ao enfatizarmos a questão da inculturação, portanto, pretendemos: por um lado, salientar a importância desse conceito retomado por Francisco e novamente manifesto nas discussões sinodais, no Documento Final do Sínodo e na Exortação Pós-Sinodal Querida Amazônia; por outro, sinalizar o caráter embrionário do estágio em que nos situamos, ao qual seguirá a implementação de novas abordagens e concepções pastorais, com efeitos diretos sobre a leitura e a vivência do catolicismo no Brasil. Based on the resonances provoked in the Latin American Church by the Amazon Synod, which took place in November 2019, this text intends to highlight the issue of inculturation as an important prism from which not only the synodal movement can be interpreted, but the conception ecclesiological nature inherent to the teaching of Francis, which, for us, is inseparable from any attempts to read the latest events. In this sense, the Amazon Synod represents an apex of the process initiated by the pope, starting with the first documents emanating from his pontificate. It is, moreover, a way of giving prominence to the Church in Latin America, an opportunity to discuss its specific reality, its challenges and achievements, in order to contribute to Catholic Christianity worldwide. It is possible, therefore, to establish the synodal path in the continuity of conceptions already established by the documents of the Latin American and Caribbean Episcopal Conference (CELAM), perhaps as the most important event in ecclesial and pastoral terms of this portion of the Church since the Second Vatican Council. In emphasizing the issue of inculturation, therefore, we intend: on the one hand, to stress the importance of this concept taken up by Francis and again manifested in the synodal discussions, in the Synod Final Document and in the Querida Amazonia Post-Synodal Exhortation; on the other hand, to signal the initial character of the stage in which we are, which will follow the implementation of new approaches and pastoral concepts, with direct effects on the reading and the experience of Catholicism in Brazil.Keywords: Inculturation; Pope Francis; Amazon Synod; Culture.

Political theorists affiliated with Latin American and Caribbean academic institutions rarely publish in flagship journals or other important outlets of the discipline. Similarly, they are not members of the editorial boards of high-ranking, generalist or subfield journals, and their research is not included in the political theory canon of what students from other regions study. The aim of this article is not to explain the origins of this silence—though some possibilities are considered—but to describe some of the ways in which it manifests and why it matters. I argue that the exclusion or omission of Latin American and Caribbean voices is a negative outcome not only for Latin American and Caribbean political theorist but for the political theory subfield at large. In response, I defend a context-sensitive approach to political theory, which has the potential to provide greater voice to Latin American and Caribbean scholars while improving theoretical analysis of Latin America and Caribbean.

The article was originally published without an abstract, short summary by Michal Gilewski The article studies what is causing women to join guerillas in Latin America. The participation of women in such militant groups started with the leftist guerillas of the second half of the 20th century. The article describes different backgrounds and different reasons for the women to join armed struggle groups. It also describes how women functioned in the social, ideological and biological dimensions of guerillas. Śniadecka-Kotarska suggests that, although the guerilla movement failed to achieve its goals of socio-political transformation of Latin American societies, it made an important contribution to the emancipation of women in these societies.
