Abstract
LOZA, Jorgelina. Contemporary Representations on Latin America in Popular Sectors of Argentina and Uruguay (2008-2011). Latinoamérica [online]. 2013, n.56, pp.191-217. ISSN 2448-6914.
Latin America, as an issue, emerges after the colonization by the Spanish Royalty of the land discovered by XVth century explorers. Since the XIXth century, thinking Latin America has been a common task for both native and migrant scholars. Since then, the question on what is Latin America has tried to renew it self theoretically, to adapt to the current theoretical corpus and to get involved with political movements. In the current globalized world, where the relevance of identity categories is put into question, we're interested in finding out what does Latin America mean, and how it's conceptualized by people's organizations. Also, we're interested in finding out if any link exists between those constructs and the intellectual views on the subject.
