This article seeks to make a succinct approximation of the current status of Genocide Studies, based on bibliographic tracing and an approach to some of the main texts of the discipline, specifically those that in Latin America and Colombia have contributed in recent years to the development of the discipline on this side of the continent. Although Genocide Studies in Colombia have been taking place for a little over a decade, their development is still in its early stages, and there is a gap in the scientific literature that accounts for the state of the art and the dissemination of the existence of the discipline itself in the Colombian academic environment. In this sense, the present article has as its fundamental purpose to resolve deficiencies that contribute to this meager display of the discipline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research addresses the editorial practices in terms of visibility carried out by Latin American scientific journals and their influential factors. The applied technique of data collection was surveyed. The sample was composed by journals classified in Scimago Journal & Country Rank (SJR), all of them associated to five subject categories in the Latin American context: Philosophy, Theology, Law, Political Science and Psychology. The main finding was that Web 2.0 tools are underused by the analyzed journals, we could infer that the positioning of a journal is not directly related with the usage of this kind of technological tools. From the results obtained, it is suggested, as a future research line, the identification of other factors that positively affect the visibility of the journals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article approaches the historical development of the field of migratory studies in Argentina and makes a review of the academic production around the so - called "migratory policies." The systematization of these studies, historically placed on migration policies, aims to highlight some of the most significant contributions of the research during the last 30 years, to understand or explain various aspects and dimensions of the Argentinean migration policy. To achieve this, texts were selected that derived from empirical research that explicitly assume the migratory policies as the object of study, or whose themes and research problems adopt as a framework for discussion the policies and practices aimed at regulating migration and mobility in Argentina. The organization and presentation of these selected texts consider issues related to the interests and thematic concerns, disciplinary and analytical approaches, distinct periods, scales of analysis and sources of information.

This article presents a systematic approach to the intellectual Latin American field in the third quarter of the 20th century, that is in the years that anticipate the advent of neo-liberalism. The study offers a historical analysis of the concept of development, as well as an exploration of the economic and cultural trends that contributed to the installment of this concept. Finally, the article focuses on outstanding features of the intellectual practices during the period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyses the methodological apparatus set forth by O. G. Oexle, in his mainly studies Oexle's works entitled L'historisme en débat: de Nietzsche à Kantorowicz, Krise des Historismus, Krise der Wirklichkeit, and Das Problem der Problemgeschichte. This paper emphasizes the development of Oexle's methodology, its theoretical implications and its applicability in the Latin American context. The consequences of this methodology for the social and natural sciences in contemporary academy remain of vital importance for this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay provides a model to analyze the development of political science in Latin America along the last sixty years. It identifies some of the theoretical disciplines, such as law and sociology, which set it in motion at the beginning, but at the same time they hindered its development as an independent science until recent decades in which political approaches predominate. Likewise, this essay shows the structural conditions of its development through the illustration of several variables, such as the proliferation of academic programs, political science scholar associations and academic production in journals, in order to evaluate the degree of institutionalization of political science in Latin America thus far. It concludes that political science in Latin America has accomplished its autonomy as an independent science, but it shows great diversity across the region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The intention of this work is to interpret four alternative movements for rethinking the social sciences based on a liberating episteme from the South. In addition to re-thinking, this article also deals with recreating the other Latin American scientific socio-political logos from the viewpoint of intercultural philosophy. To achieve these goals, the alternatives are conceived as i) an epistemic project that allows for complex research and the trans-disciplinary training of researchers; ii) an ethical project that permits establishing public coexistence values and rights to peace between men and nature; iii) a political project that allows for developing intercultural states in favor of plurality for civic identities; and finally iv) an economic project based on criticism of techno-scientific consumerist production, that, at the same time, justifies the development of an economy of necessary goods. These days, when models of Cartesian rationality are in crisis, it is in Latin America where alternative praxes make it possible to discover those insurgent origins of emancipation in the face of decolonialism.

If the pattern of scientific knowledge implies the epistemological platform of the western civilization model associated with the capitalist system, closely linked to situations of injustice against which social movements arise and act, what characteristics does wisdom assume consubstantiated with the interests in transforming society associated with those movements? The purpose of this essay is to describe some of the particularities that this “knowledge in movement” assumes. At the same time, the essay will try to sketch the tensions among these and determine certain conditionings of scientific knowledge, expressed in the canons that regulate social science publications. “Knowledge in movement” has two dimensions: one denounces and the other contributes epistemological “novelty.” They originate within and outside of academe from multiple patterns and become legitimate in the same transformation process.

In the 1960s, Latin American social sciences identified themselves with national projects and explicitly, with utopias such as development and revolution. At present, they have to deal with more complex and interrelated societies, and in some form, the principal topic is the phenomenon of globalization. In this new context, visions derived from theoretical models are no longer related, that is, they no longer make prophecies but rather, suggest possible scenes. This article analyzes the impact of globalization on Latin American social sciences. It highlights the importance of debate and of diverse interpretations in constructing a new social reality. Likewise, it values the contribution of the social sciences to overcoming the dilemma formed by the unrestricted defense of economic globalization and the total rejection of global transformations.

This paper alludes to the role played by Raúl Prebisch and the CEPAL in the process of production and institutionalization of a certain social and critical knowledge in the 50's in Latin America. From a bourdian perspective our aim is to go beyond biographical constructions that have been written about Prebisch's work and settle them down to the ideas developed by CEPAL. Because of that, we will try to analyze, on one hand, Prebisch's theoretical and strategic position in the field of social sciences at that time and to explain, on the other hand, CEPAL's blurred image due to the crisis of the substitute industrialization model, Prebisch's movement to the UNCTAD and the Dependent Economy Model debate in Latin America academy.

The paper aims to trace, reconstruct and analyze the files of the Intelligence Services regarding the production of Latin-American social sciences in the period 1976-1983. The object "Latin America" is to the services of intelligence a priori associated with and connoting "communist", "revolutionary" or "subversive". All the above led to an exhaustive work of exegesis and research on the production of Latin-American Social Sciences describing a double process: introducing professionalism in politics and political radicalization. The documents found in the Archive of the former Direction of Intelligence of the Police of the Province of Buenos Aires [DIPBA] - (containing reports of other services of intelligence) allow to infer the importance and the degree of "danger" that the dictatorships attributed to this production. This research will analyze reports issued by Intelligence Offices on popular music, essays and, particularly, classic works produced by Latin American Social Sciences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
