As Conclusões da Conferência de Medellín é o primeiro documento do episcopado católico latino-americano que insere o ecumenismo no agir pastoral da Igreja Católica no continente. Não dedica uma seção especial ao tema, mas o apresenta como um elemento transversal nas diversas temáticas abordadas. A Conferência foi, em si mesma, uma significativa experiência ecumênica pela presença dos representantes das Igrejas e a prática da hospitalidade eucarística na celebração de encerramento. Medellín foi uma real recepção das orientações conciliares sobre o aggiornamento da Igreja, para o qual o ecumenismo tem uma função fundamental em nossos tempos.Palavras chave: Medellín. Igreja.

Rural Production

Abstract Rural production has long been a central topic for social sciences and history of Latin America, and scholars have noted the ways that societies and environments form around productive systems. Inspired by Gastón Gordillo's 2014 book Rubble, this article introduces a Special Section of the JPE that shifts the focus to the inseparably destructive aspects of production. We acknowledge the temporal dynamics of booms and busts in Latin American commodity production, but challenge recent tendencies to glorify destruction as necessarily and positively creative. Framing the issue as a question for Science and Technology Studies, we argue that treating technologies as rubble can shed light on dynamics of historical change, social contestation, and environmental destruction that are too often overlooked. Key words: environment, Latin America, creative destruction, Rubble, science and technology

Nevertheless, one detects a growing intellectual unease and a sense that the excitement engendered by the pathbreaking work and heated debates of previous decades—focusing on authoritarianism, democratization, and market restructuring and related structural transformations—has waned and perhaps given way to a certain “normalization” of our intellectual enterprise.
