El tema de la violencia es connatural a la historia de América Latina y, por lo mismo, resulta inagotable en cualquiera de sus múltiples manifestaciones materiales y simbólicas, desde los orÃgenes coloniales hasta la actualidad. A nivel continental, la praxis y el discurso de la violencia pueden perseguirse desde la penetración de la depredación colonizadora con que América Latina es inscrita en el desarollo cultural de Occidente hasta llegar a las más recientes y sutiles formas asumidas por la violencia de Estado, pasando por las instancias de imposición de modelos culturales y económicos que el las distintas épocas impactaron radicalmente las culturas criollas y vernáculas. América Latina ha sufrido asÃ, históricamente, las consecuencias de una violencia fundacional, que la condenara a una posición periférica con respecto a sistemas globales cuyos centros han difundido en sus correspondientes áreas de influencia, la 'racionalidad' de su propia reproducción cultural, polÃtica y económica. De esta manera, la trama social que resultara de la matriz colonialista registró desde el comienzo las huellas imborrables de la violencia que se manifestara tanto a nivel racial como económico, tanto en lo referido a las polÃticas de género como en lo relacionado con la distribución geocultural del poder, en todos sus niveles. Las 'dolorosas repúblicas hispanoamericanas' de que hablara Martà se han debatido desde entonces contra las formas naturalizadas de la violencia de la exclusión y el autoritarismo, la miseria interna y la depredación imperialista, la penetración cultural las intervenciones polÃticas, siempre amparadas en la retórica legitimadora que las clases dominantes esgrimieran en cada caso para perpetuar su poder.
El presente volúmen que compila trabajos que fueran presentados y discutidos en la Segunda Conferencia Internacional de Estudios Culturales Latinoamericanos que se llevara a cabo en la Universidad de Pittsburgh en marzo del año 2000, tiene como foco principal una articulación especÃfica en torno al tema de la violencia contemporánea: la que analiza los cruces y formas especÃficas en que la violencia se manifiesta teniendo como escenario principal los centros urbanos de América Latina, y las modalidades a partir de las cuales el fenómeno de la violencia es recogido y re-presentado por los medios de comunicación de masas, tanto como por la cultura popular, el arte, la literatura y otras formas de discurso letras y la 'alta cultura'.
The theme of violence is natural to the history of Latin America and, therefore, it is endless in any of its multiple material and symbolic manifestations, from its colonial origins to the present. At a continental level, the praxis and discourse of violence can be traced back to the spread of the colonising voracity that conditioned Latin America within the cultural development of the West, followed by the most recent and subtle forms assumed by state violence, including the instances of imposition of cultural and economic models that, at the different times, radically impacted the Creole and vernacular cultures. Thus, Latin America has historically suffered the consequences of a founding violence which condemned it to a peripheral position in relation to global systems which centres have spread in their corresponding areas of influence, the 'rationality' of their own cultural, political and economic replication. In this way, the social fabric resulting from the colonialist matrix has recorded from the beginning the indelible traces of violence that are displayed both at racial and economic levels, both in terms of gender policies and in terms of the geocultural distribution of power, at all levels. The 'painful Spanish-American republics' of which Martà spoke, have since fought against the normalisation of the violence of exclusion and authoritarianism, the internal misery and imperialistic greed, the cultural colonisation and political actions always condoned by a legitimising rhetoric that the ruling classes wielded in every instance to perpetuate their power.
This volume, which compiles papers that were presented and discussed at the Second International Conference on Latin American Cultural Studies to be held at the University of Pittsburgh in March 2000, has as its main focus a specific articulation around the topic of contemporary violence: it analyses the intersections and specific ways in which violence presents itself in the urban centres of Latin America as its main scenario, and the modalities from which the phenomenon of violence is recorded and represented by the mass media, as well as popular culture, art, literature and other forms of literary discourse and 'high culture'.
