Announcements

To all our community of readers,

We are pleased to announce the year's second issue with the dossier Wars, memories and nationhood in Spanish America. The Paraguayan War (1864-1870) and the War of the Pacific (1879-1883) were coordinated by Ph.D. Gabriel Cid and Ph.D. María Victoria Barretta. We also have a series of miscellaneous articles from Germany, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina and Chile that address different temporalities and geographical spaces from the History of Emotions, Urban History, History of Everyday Life and Social History. In the Research Notes section, you will find an essay by Ph.D. Ángela Vergara on Labour under dictatorship.

We hope you enjoy this issue and that you find it useful for further disciplinary development.

  Invented traditions are a set of regulated practices intended to instill values and standards of conduct. Its creation has also been linked to the interests of the ruling class that strives to govern the selection process. In Latin America, studies on the invention of traditions also reflected on the creation of cultural stereotypes. Every stereotype is a simplification aimed at homogenizing and fixing in time. Throughout history, both constructions, invented traditions and cultural stereotypes, have modeled behavioral patterns, promoted a common identification and established bonds of solidarity. Cultural stereotypes promote mechanisms of differentiation between "us" and "others". The consecration of stereotypes causes tensions, negotiations, disputes and impositions that are processed in different ways.
