“…The possession of identity documents by indigenous groups in Argentina and Chile can help us rethink the relationship between exclusion and citizenship in rural areas (Bacigalupo, 2016; Gordillo, 2006). Other social groups, like the urban poor in Brazil and workers in Chile, also received these documents, especially during the Great Depression and further government expansion (Fischer, 2008; Vergara, 2018). How did social groups adopt former surveillance devices?…”

This essay discusses the emergence of a vibrant body of research embracing surveillance in Modern Latin America. By focusing on a specific yet complex region, scholars have expanded the original framework associated with the term, applying this new lens to periods ranging from after the Wars of Independence to contemporary episodes. Moreover, the examination of surveillance in this region reveals how researchers have engaged not only with trending research but their willingness to respond to the social, political, and technological phenomena that have become more visible since the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the implementation of a new paradigm based on state security. This concern has become augmented with the revelations on the role of the National Security Agency and social media companies obtaining data from citizens. I conclude by suggesting new avenues for this nascent scholarship to move away from its rigid Orwellian nature and turn surveillance into a more flexible analytical tool.

“…Esse clima de insatisfação popular, bem descrito por Milos (2008) em seu livro sobre a configuração da Frente Popular chilena entre os anos 1935 e 1938, produz uma tensão tal na administração de Alessandri que faz que, no começo de setembro, a Presidência convide o Partido Radical para formar parte do governo. Para o governo, a ameaça de uma revolta popular não era impensável, ainda mais considerando os 15 meses de experimentação política e revoltas militares que antecederam o segundo mandato alessandrista (Vergara, 2018), a memória do levante camponês e indígena em Ranquil, no sul de Chile, em julho de 1934, que foi reprimido sanguinariamente pelo governo (Palacios, 1992;Ulianova, 2003), ou ainda a greve dos trabalhadores ferroviários, que teve a adesão dos grandes sindicatos comerciais e bancários no começo de 1936 e a declaração do estado de sítio como resposta das forças oficiais (Garcés, 2012).…”

Sport urbanism in South America. Order, spectacle and real estate operations This dissertation analyses the sport and leisure facilities' production in three important South American cities, during the 1920-1955 period, when the practice of physical activities and sport was on the rise. This process started during the first decades of the 20th century, when stadia, gymnasia, swimming pools, sporting clubs, velodromes, playgrounds, and other sport facilities within schools and university campuses were often erected by public and/or private agents. That was a time when local and international sporting events were also institutionalized as a part of the urban entertainment offer.Focused on key episodes of the urban history of Montevideo, Santiago and São Paulo, this dissertation tests the following hypothesis: the development of sport and leisure facilities was the result of the combined action of different agents, through the conformation of new practices, policies and institutions. Sport urbanism was guided by four main agendas: the growth of a sport spectacle industry; the incorporation of sport and physical education to heart policies and the education curriculum; the development of nationalist narratives that related sports, fitness and patriotism; and the idea of public and private agents who understood sport facilities as part of major real estate business opportunities. This work demonstrates how the development of sport facilities was the combined result of opposing social forces, mobilized by diverse agendas, interests and theoretical references. Those narratives, originated in various professional fields, such as politics, education, medicine, journalism, engineering, architecture and urbanism; were fundamental in the definition of sport facilities as social needs, drafting public policies to encourage their planning and building, and taking part in the debates about their location, financing strategies and final uses.
