Martinican Édouard Glissant has been one of those authors whose poetic and literary work has made a transhumance in academic spaces and militant groups that identify themselves as decolonial. Being the object of a critical rereading of decolonials, the category of creolization (créolisatio) is positioned - according to some - as a true example of decolonial thought, as an archetype of a non-European epistemology from the Caribbean. Against these ideas, there is a wish to show, in this paper, in what sense Glissant's category of creolization, understood as a phenomenon of the past and a horizon of the future in the whole world, as a chaos that promises a future and that is irremediably creol, offers a renewed understanding of two categories of modern thought: cosmopolitanism and cosmopolitization. Indeed, Glissant's thought dialogues with European modernity, and it does not seem to intend a definitive or partial epistemic break. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The space called Latin America has a particular history marked by centuries of colonialism and coloniality. The latter concept implies that the basic structure of the colonial system has not changed even though formal independence has been achieved. For this reason, the subcontinent has fluctuated between dependence and the quest for autonomy. These successive cycles have manifested themselves both in the internal configurations and in the regional schemes that have been undertaken. This paper analyzes the construction and evolution of the idea of a region: Latin America and the Caribbean. To that end it examines the concepts of region, regionalism, what Latin America and the Caribbean implies, and what are the transformations in these ideas that have emerged from the regional configurations of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) as plural organisms with broad objectives.

The study on the future of the Cuban cultural thought of the Republic is of vital importance for the understanding of their essences into the national culture. This paper aims to make a critical- descriptive analysis of the book: The Cuban Cultural Thought in the Republic. ¿Art Theory in the Caribbean? From the young Cuban researcher Yaneidys Arencibia Coloma. The work proposes the redefinition of the Republican cultural thought from a paradigmatic analysis of titles within the work of Fernando Ortiz, Jorge Mañach, Juan Marinello, Alejo Carpentier and Jose Lezama written between 1923 and 1961.

This paper attempts to make an estimate of the effectiveness and efficiency of the Public Sector in Cuba, in comparison with all Latin American and Caribbean countries in the period 2001-2012. The work followed the scheme of the composite indicators, through Afonzo, Shuknecht, and Tanzi's methodology. The empirical results reveal the existence of positive results in the fulfillment and scope of the functions of the Public Sector in Cuba, especially in the field of healthcare and education, although the efficiency index obtained was one of the lowest in the region. However, this methodology proved to have inaccuracies that introduce bias in the comparison. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The records and the knowledge of Lepidoptera larvae associated with weedy plants generate valuable and new information for this group within agroecosystems towards an integrated weed management program and a better understanding of arthropod fauna associated to these plants. Throughout 2008-2009, several Lepidoptera larvae were found in weed samples collected in the Caribbean of Costa Rica within banana farms and neighboring areas. These samples were identified with avalaible literature and a larvae collection of one of the authors. The records of 25 specimens from six Lepidopteran families on 13 weed families are presented in this paper, some of them are interesting in terms of biological control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to analyze the current situation and plans of control and eradication of classical swine fever in the Americas and the Caribbean as well as the main causes that lead to disease transmission. At present the Classical Swine Fever (CSF) is recognized as a transboundary disease, remains endemic in many countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. In the Americas region remain as affected countries: Nicaragua, Honduras, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Venezuela. In the Caribbean countries the affected ones are: Cuba, Haiti, and Dominican Republic. There are several causes which hinder the control of CSF, playing a key role the political will of each country and its veterinary service. The control and eradication plans are hampered by the low availability of vaccines, inadequate control of the animal movement and the illegal trade of pigs and their products. These elements contribute to the maintenance of infection and spread of the disease from affected into free areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
