Cuerpos amerindios

Resumen del Libro

Two exhibitions that propose a dialogue from diverse perspectives around art, archaeology and the human body. The exhibition "Amerindian Bodies: Art and culture of the corporal modifications" curated by archaeologist Uribe explores the cultural, social and symbolic richness of the corporal interventions amongst the Pre-Columbian societies of Colombia. The interventions in skin, muscles, bone, hair, denture and nails, far from being superfluous, are vital in the construction of the social identity of the people. The exhibition follows the beauty ideals, religious rituals, economic activities, mythology and healing sickness capabilities as practiced in different Indian societies. The exhibition "Habeas Corpus: may you have [a] body [to exhibit]" is a collaborative curatorship between historian Jaime Borja and artist José Alejandro Restrepo. In their museographic script they define the human body as a "cultural experience and history container" and establish a dialogue of the fascination shared by the baroque and contemporary cultures on the human body alternating baroque artwork from Nueva Granada, contemporary art expressions and scientific illustrations.

Moreover, Colombia/US bilateral relations degenerated into mutual accusations and recriminations. In this book, several of Colombia's leading political analysts assess this crisis and its implications for the maintainance of political stability and consolidation of democracy"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

Alternativas de privatización para el sector público colombiano

"Discussion by academics, government officials, and private sector leaders on the virtues of reducing the role of the Colombian State in favor of private interests, with the objective of increasing economic efficiency. Although a selective process of privatization has long been praised as beneficial for economies such as Colombia's, major sales of nationalized industries have not yet been achieved and successive governments have failed to elaborate a comprehensive privatization plan. The authors describe the benefits of moving in this direction and point out that the new Constitution opens...
