She has a smart book on civilization and barbarism that I found out about from the Spanish Professor and am now using to teach Facundo.
Here is a snippet from my simplifying notes for class:
Con la Revolución Francesa se introduce la idea de que la barbarie se halla también en el interior del continente (22). A partir de allí, el rol de la burguesía es controlar la revolución: que no sea demasiado extrema, pero que sí permita cierto tipo de modernización; la burguesía ahora tiene que civilizar al pueblo. En este contexto, además, la función del pueblo es legitimar la república y su poder.
There is something in this that fits with all the other evidence for my current papers: the need for an Other within, that legitimates the state.
Axé.
She is very good. I’ve used several of her books/articles.
Yes. I’m impressed.
It’s only about Argentina, but this article is great (at least for my interest):.http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1525/city.2004.16.1.69/abstract
I have a copy if you need it.
I’d love a copy!!! We did not start getting that journal until 2008.
I’ll send it to you on Monday.
Fantástico, obrigada! 🙂
