The main reason why Latin America is a cultural diverse region is because of the indigenous peoples who inhabit it. That is why indigenous peoples' interests on their cultural property have to be taken into account when this matter is to be legally regulated in Latin American countries. In order to ascertain whether that has occurred, the book explores relevant legal instruments at the international and regional levels and compares national norms in some Latin American countries, particularly those concerning ownership. It concludes that recognition of indigenous interests in Latin American law on cultural property is still a pending task.

Una de las notas distintivas y más interesantes de este libro, remite a su pertinencia con el momento en que se escribe. Frente a la consolidación del modelo de acumulación extractivista, se multiplican las luchas por la tierra y el territorio, y proliferan los estudios sobre el tema. En ese marco, el présente texto exhibe los complejos vínculos entre condiciones materiales y dimensiones simbólicas. Se trata del territorio como sitio-objeto de producción y expresión, pero también como conjunto de símbolos y percepciones compartidas. Ciertamente el territorio es habitado por la memoria, la experiencia y el proyecto de los pueblos. Al mismo tiempo, los escritos aquí desplegados dejan entrever la presencia de un vasto universo de organizaciones sociales con importante visibilidad pública y anclaje territorial en la América Latina contemporánea.

This book examines an unprecedented range of science fiction texts—including literature, cinema, theater, and comics—produced in Argentina from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. These works address themes common to the genre across the industrialized world, including techno-authoritarianism, new modes of posthuman subjectivity, and apocalyptic visions of environmental catastrophe. At the same time, Argentine science fiction is fully grounded in the social and political life of the nation.The texts discussed here explore the impact of an uneven modernization, mass migration, dictatorships, crises in national identity, the rise and fall of the Left, the question of Argentina’s indigenous heritage, the impact of neoliberalism, and the most recent economic crisis of 2001. Argentine science fiction is also highly reflexive, debating within its pages the role of science fiction and fantasy in the society of its day, and the nature of the text in a world of advancing technology. This book makes important contributions to our understanding of science fiction as a genre, as well as to materialist theories of cultural texts. It will also interest students and scholars researching the culture, history, and politics of Argentina and Latin America.
