The
Culture, Power and
Politics
Section will promote the
study of cultural politics and of culture in/of
relations of power in a broad sense as well as
of the politics and power of/in culture. It will
be a space for the exchange and debate between
different positions, as well as for the
development of collaborative relations among its
members. This dialogue, debate, and
collaboration should be enhanced through an
examination of the epistemological, political,
and theoretical differences existing between
some of our perspectives as: cultural studies,
subaltern studies, ethnic studies, gender
studies, political economy, politology,
political/cultural sociology,
social/political/cultural anthropology, literary
studies, communication and media studies, and
history, among others.
The proposal
for the creation of the Section was approved by the
