Early relational trauma

02
June

The configuration of early relational trauma is postulated due to the absence of emotional availability from parents, which determines the patient's relationships, the quality of the transference-countertransference dynamic, and her symptomatology. The book can be seen as part of the social mourning process in which we are still immersed. This implies recognizing the damage caused to our social body by the horror of the systematic violation of human rights following the breakdown of our democracy over forty years ago. Repairing this damage involves being able to inhabit a temporality that resists amnesia, so that the wound can fully heal.

Trade unionism

02
June

Like any prophetic gaze, this work by Saint Alberto Hurtado is not just a record of the past, but a challenge in the present. His words, like a fire that ignites other fires, call us to active discernment today and to confront the labor reality that still cries out for justice. Yesterday and today, being contemplative in action is the call to join the mission of serving the faith and promoting the justice it demands of us. This is where the relevance and the unique and special tone he offers us in his book lie.

Rebel territories

02
June

The rebel territories have not won, but they have pushed the boundaries of what's possible, succeeding in bringing back into public debate in Chile the ideas of regional autonomy, intercultural territory and Mapuche autonomy, co-participation of regions in mining revenue and natural resources, and consultations with communities in referendums on whether they desire mega electrical or extractive industries. The meta-narrative of slight historical incrementality in a gradual evolution of power to the territories, in a Chilean fashion, is maintained. The cycle of protests and territorial rebellion will likely continue.

The Manuel Larraín Theological Center (CTML) is an academic and research center belonging to the Faculty of Theology of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile and the Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities of the Alberto Hurtado University. Its mission is to collaborate in the dialogue between Faith and Culture, through the discernment of the signs of the times undertaken by the Church. Created in 2005, the CTML provides a theological service aimed at recognizing God's action in historical events, through a twofold task: interpreting the historical present in light of faith and interpreting the Gospel and Scripture from the present situation.

Social realist theory

02
June

Building on her previous contribution to Culture and Social Theory, Margaret Archer here develops her morphogenetic approach and applies it to the problems of structure and agency. Structure and agency constitute different levels of social reality, each possessing emergent properties that are real, causally effective, and mutually irreducible. Through a systematic consideration of the temporal dimension of social phenomena and a strong concept of emergence, she seeks to provide the foundations for a non-conflationary theorization of the relationships between structure and agency that will help the social analyst to empirically study the accelerated processes of social change in contemporary society.

Feminist Theology in Three Voices

02
June

Christian feminist theology arises from the perception of contemporary feminism as a fundamental challenge to Christianity, referring above all to the dignity of women and the full humanity of all human beings. It is, in a sense, the search for how to speak of God rightly to promote relationships of equality and reciprocity between men and women, because language—including theological language—shapes the reality we inhabit.

Art Education

June

Art Education. Recent Proposals, Research, and Experiences arises from the intense debate on education in Chile and the need to incorporate perspectives from Chile and abroad. The book presents thirteen texts organized around four axes: foundations, research, museums, and experiences in art education. The authors, some of whom are considered fundamental voices in the current discussion on these topics, contribute—from artistic production, teaching, art history, teacher training, and philosophy—to the dialogue on the importance of art education.

Education in Rapa Nui

02
June

Easter Island represents a unique experience for Chile. Little by little, Chileans brought their offices and their state action, and with them, they also brought the school. On the island, there were hundreds of children who did not speak Spanish nor had any clarity about what this thing called Chile (Tire) was, the owner of the flag that waved on the island. The school established by this country was largely responsible for making it clear to them what that continental territory was, what its language, culture, and history were. This book covers that history, the history of colonization and the role the Chilean school has played in it.

The (im)possible grieving process

02
June

This text is based on the significant number of disappeared detainees in Chile, as well as the repercussions that this traumatic situation has had on society. It is an unresolved pending issue that generates controversy and circulates in the social imagination. The reflection on the grieving process of these family members has allowed us to link psychoanalytic theory, its relationship with the social context, and the praxis that has occurred in some Latin American countries in this work.

The soul in the word.

Luis de Valdivia, S.J., was one of the most eminent figures in Colonial America at the beginning of the 17th century, as a promoter in Chile of the Defensive War, a project for the pacification of the Arauco War in which the power of the kings of Spain, the viceroys of Peru, and the prepositi generales of the Society of Jesus intervened. The study of his life and works has fascinated historians from the very moment of his death to the present day.
