El potencial de paz de las "iglesias libres" en los EE.UU. y América Latina
No full textEl presente texto es el resumen de un extenso estudio sobre las estrategias políticas de los expertos religiosos en los Estados Unidos y América Latina. En el pasado reciente, los dirigentes de organizaciones religiosas han venido ejerciendo una influencia cada vez mayor en la política de las Américas. Esto tiene consecuencias, como es evidente en el caso de los presidentes Trump y Bolsonaro, que fueron elegidos con un importante apoyo de personas y organizaciones religiosas. El presente estudio se centra en los discursos y prácticas de los expertos religiosos en el ámbito político, sin mantener la lupa solo sobre las elites conservadoras. Más bien, examina las tensiones entre los actores de las más diversas direcciones religioso-políticas. Después de una introducción metodológica, el estudio analiza primero los EE.UU., Guatemala, Brasil y México. Luego se abordan temas controvertidos. Por último, sacamos conclusiones en aras de orientar la cooperación cultural internacional.The present text is a highly condensed version of an extensive study on the political strategies of religious experts in the USA and Latin America. In the recent decades, leaders of religious organisations gained a growing influence on politics in the Americas. Consequences can be seen through the Presidents Trump and Bolsonaro, who were elected with the significant support of religious individuals and organisations. The present study focuses on the discourses and practices of religious experts with regard to the political field. But the magnifying glass will not only be turned towards conservative elites. The tensions between actors of divergent religious-political orientations are also under scrutiny. After a methodological introduction, the USA, Guatemala, Brazil and Mexico will be studied as cases. Then, we address controversialissues. Finally, conclusions are drawn for international cultural cooperation
Biennalen als Seismograph
Get PDFBiennalen sind Plattformen für den Dialog über globale Kunst- und Kulturdiskurse und tragen erheblich zur Dezentralisierung des Kunstbetriebs bei. Dabei spielt die Kontextgebundenheit der jeweiligen Biennale eine große Rolle mit ihren spezifischen geopolitischen Rahmenbedingungen, Organisationsformen, Förderstrukturen und lokalen Akteuren. Die vorliegende Studie nimmt exemplarisch vor allem die in den letzten Jahren gegründeten Biennalen des sogenannten "Globalen Südens" in den Blick, mit einem Schwerpunkt auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent, um sowohl Trends als auch spezifische Bedarfe zu identifizieren. Es erfolgt daher eine Betrachtung und Kontextualisierung von Förderinitiativen für Biennalen weltweit, die multilateral von der EU oder von Kulturinstituten europäischer Länder durchgeführt werden, um aktuelle Tendenzen sowie Potenziale für die AKBP und für internationale Kooperationen auszumachen

African Artists at Risk (Summary Document)
Get PDFThreats to both creativity and freedom of expression are on the rise globally, with Africa as no exception. As a result, artists, journalists and human rights defenders are seeking out shelter or safer locations in order to escape harm. However, the support systems currently in place predominantly relocate at-risk African artists to Europe and North America, which poses an additional set of social, cultural and economic challenges. This brief summarises key findings and recommendations of a report that investigates the successes and challenges of developing temporary shelter and relocation initiatives based in Africa
Arts and culture institutes
Get PDFInternational cultural institutes (ICI) are often the most visible manifestation of a country's efforts to share its culture with an international audience.
