Historians, art-lovers, and the fashion-conscious will be united in their love of this sumptuous and well-researched history of Mariano Vivanco’s motherland.Peru by Mariano Vivanco is a once-in-a-lifetime project in which the photographer uses his love of imagery, history, and fashion alike to create a truly remarkable body of work. Vivanco takes readers through a personal journey depicting the history and folklore of his beloved country, Peru, through various photo essays. Vivanco has chosen to tell the story chronologically starting from the first pre-Columbian Inca civilization, Caral. This then passes through Moche, Nazca, where he photographed geo-glyphs from an airplane, to the Chimu civilization leading up to the Inca Empire. The Peruvian jungle served as the inspiration through its mythologies: El Bufeo Colorado, El Chullachaqui, and the Devil of the Red Flora to name a few. Vivanco also explored religious saints, Santa Rosa and San Martin De Porres, as well as rebellion leader Tupac Amaru II and his wife Micaela Bastidas.

César Vallejo paradoxically discounted the modernist significance of his avant-garde masterpiece, Trilce, published in 1922. Yet, in these poems, the renowned Peruvian writer played with the Spanish language.

The son of a wandering country lawyer, he is brought up by Indian servants until he enters a Catholic boarding school at age 14. In this urban Spanish environment, he is a misfit and a loner.

«Una lengua que zigzaguea vulnera la reglamentaria sintaxis, para concentrarse en fogonazo, encabalgamiento y dispersión del estilo nominal. Hacia el final la prosa casi se transforma en poesía'. -Marta Sanz, El País Una escritora peruana en Buenos Aires rememora la historia de un accidente llamado familia. Accidente que se prolonga durante años como una herida mal cicatrizada, signo de interrogación que hurga, interpela y desfonda. Compuesta de recuerdos ­finamente hilados al tiempo de la intimidad, la novela se revela como un ajuste de cuentas entre una mujer y sus padres: narrativa ­filial con la que la escritura aspira a disipar olvidos, esparcir cenizas y replantear distancias. Pero, también, como una declaración de amor y de duelo que no excluye la memoria del maltrato ni la búsqueda de una independencia que autorice al personaje a dejar de ser hija. Quiénes somos ahora ratifica la incomparable voz de Katya Adaui en el concierto de la narrativa peruana del siglo XXI. Sus notables virtudes técnicas, el refinado puntillismo de su prosa y la sensibilidad para hallar luz entre las sombras familiares hacen de esta novela un acontecimiento literario. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "A zigzagging tongue undermines the regulatory syntax to focus on the blaze, enjambment, and dispersion of the nominal style. Towards the end, the prose almost transforms into poetry." --Marta Sanz, El País A Peruvian writer in Buenos Aires remembers the story of an accident called family, an accident that prolongs itself several years as a poorly cauterized wound, a question mark that delves, challenges, and staves. Composed of finely spun memories in a time of intimacy, this novel reveals itself as a settling of scores between a woman and her parents: a filial narrative with which the story aims to dispel forgetfulness, scatter ashes, and reestablish boundaries. It is also as a declaration of love and grief that does not exclude the memory of abuse, nor the search for an independence that allows the character to cease being a daughter. Who Are We Now? ratifies Katya Adaui's incomparable voice within the concert of Peruvian narratives of the twenty-first century. Her remarkable technical virtues, the refined pointillism of her prose, and her sensibility to find light among familial shadows make this novel a literary event.

Offers Fresh Insight into Crucial Debates over the Causes of Diverging and Converging Political Trajectories in the Region

Der 2016 unterschriebene Friedensvertrag mit FARC in Kolumbien stellt das Land u.a. vor die Frage, welche Bedeutung der Ressourcenreichtum des Landes fur den Aufbau einer friedlichen Gesellschaft spielen soll. Abgeleitet von den Erkenntnissen aus Peru wird untersucht, welchen Einfluss der legale und nicht legale Abbau von Gold auf die jeweiligen bewaffneten Konflikte hatte, wie sich deren Nutzung in der Friedenszeit wandelte und welche neuen Konflikte entstanden sind. Zum Umgang mit der ehemaligen Konfliktressource Gold gibt es divergierende Vorstellungen, die extraktivistischen und postextraktivstischen Ideen zugeordnet werden konnen, die in lokalen Konflikten enden. Der Fokus liegt auf der subnationalen, nach Abbauart differenzierten Untersuchung von Ressourcenausbeutung und Burgerkrieg bzw. Postburgerkrieg. Die Ergebnisse zu illegalem Bergbau zeigen, dass es sich dabei nicht um ein Burgerkriegsphanomen handelt, sondern vielmehr um eine geduldete Praxis, die die Bewaffnung von Gewaltakteuren bedingt. Aber auch legale Ressourcenforderung, die nach Beendigung des Konflikts als Strategie der Friedensfinanzierung verstanden wird, fuhrt zu ahnlichen negativen Auswirkungen, sodass von einem Bergbaufluch gesprochen wird.
