Bücher von Luis Martinez Andrade

En s¿inspirant de la méthode de Walter Benjamin, Luis Martínez Andrade examine les mythologies du ballon et dévoile les apories du football. Organisé en vingt-huit essais, abordés comme un ensemble d¿images dialectiques, son ouvrage propose d¿examiner les différents aspects socio-politiques et culturels du football-spectacle : l¿engagement des joueurs face au fascisme, le rôle des stades comme temples modernes et produits de la culture de masse, l¿origine anarchosyndicaliste de certains clubs d¿Amérique latine, l¿ethos baroque et l¿existence festive, le rôle des émotions dans la lutte politique, les masculinités toxiques, la puissance de l¿utopie concrète à la lumière de l¿expérience du club brésilien Corinthians, le rôle du paramilitarisme avec le cas de la ex-Yougoslavie ou encore l¿usage politique du football dans l¿URSS.

The publication of this volume marks the Ten Year Anniversary of the Postcolonialism and Religions series. In intersectional and interdisciplinary perspectives, the chapters of this book constitute a complex whole: a volume that does justice to the justice-seeking origins of Latin American Liberation Theology, philosophy, and sociology as it emerged in the 1960s-70s and its development to the present. What drives this book is a common spirit and conviction: Liberation Theologies of the Global South remain relevant to the sociocultural and geopolitical contexts of today, which remain ensconced in the dynamics, exclusions, and resistances that gave rise to Liberation Theologies six decades ago. Today we may speak of interculturality, of borderlands, of in-betweenness, in ways that complicate, confirm, affirm, and interrogate the ¿underside of history¿, and the spaces that are marginalized but de-centered centers of liberation struggle ¿ within, alongside, underneath, over-against societal projects that claim and exclude them, and that represent some of the actual challenges and opportunities to liberation.
