This book was released on 2001 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Este libro reúne dieciséis ensayos preparados por los miembros del Grupo de Trabajo "Cultura y Transformaciones Sociales en Tiempos de Globalización". Es el segundo libro sobre el mismo tema resultante de las actividades del Grupo; no obstante, uno y otro volumen constituyen colecciones independientes entre sí. Los artículos contribuyen a teorizar con vocación de intervención acerca de algunas transformaciones sociales en tiempos de globalización desde perspectivas que ponen de relieve la importancia y significación de los aspectos simbólicos de las prácticas de los actores sociales. Se ocupan de problemas relacionados con las políticas neoliberales y los papeles jugados por las llamadas industrias culturales en los imaginarios sociales y las dinámicas sociales contemporáneas de varios países; el desafío de las músicas "mulatas" a la modernidad eurocéntrica; los desafíos que según los casos han enfrentado o enfrentan el movimiento feminista y las reivindicaciones de género en contextos políticos particulares; la construcción social de imaginarios y sistemas de representaciones alternativos a los de los discursos sociales dominantes y su importancia política; la construcción de discursos sociales, políticas y prácticas racistas y las impugnaciones a las mismas por parte de diversos actores sociales; las relaciones interétnicas y su importancia en las dinámicas internas y en las políticas del Banco Mundial; las redefiniciones de "lo público" y "lo político" a través de los usos de Internet por ciudadanos y organizaciones sociales; las fronteras como escenarios de conflictos de intereses y disputas identitarias y la fertilidad de su estudio para diversos procesos socioculturales contemporáneos; discusiones conceptuales en torno a la idea de políticas culturales en el marco de los procesos de globalización contemporáneos; las relaciones entre actores sociales globales y locales en la producción de representaciones sociales políticamente significativas."
Download or read book Am rica latina en la historia global written by Carlos Riojas and published by Siglo XXI Editores México. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los hechos derivados del 12 de octubre de 1492 marcan el inicio de una época en la que el mundo se percibe en su globalidad. No obstante, América Latina tomó un papel periférico en los textos que aspiraban a construir una historia universal o mundial. Desde nuevas perspectivas que interconectan espacios más amplios con problemáticas locales, este volumen colectivo se propone relanzar una nueva generación de estudios en la vertiente de la historia global desde una perspectiva latinoamericana. A través del análisis de las interacciones transpacíficas habilitadas por la Conquista desde el siglo XVI, del surgimiento de una conciencia global a partir de la primera guerra mundial o de las vinculaciones derivadas del periodo histórico conocido como Guerra Fría, entre otras problemáticas, este libro busca repensar el mundo como un conjunto de interconexiones que calibre de manera más armoniosa las partes que lo constituyen, con la finalidad de demostrar que América Latina es un actor clave que no es habitualmente ponderado en sus verdaderas dimensiones. La colección Miradas Latinoamericanas. Un Estado del Debate tiene como objetivo relevar las novedades teóricas, metodológicas y temáticas en diversos campos del saber, tanto a través de perspectivas trans e interdisciplinares, como desde diferentes tradiciones intelectuales. Los libros que integran esta colección reúnen trabajos que exponen las novedades y dan cuenta de las transformaciones en relación con las temáticas, abordajes, enfoques teóricos, preguntas y objetos de investigación en los campos de las ciencias sociales y las humanidades, para poner en valor la originalidad, la relevancia y el impacto del conocimiento producido desde la región.
Download or read book The Expediency of Culture written by George Yúdice and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-23 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Expediency of Culture is a pioneering theorization of the changing role of culture in an increasingly globalized world. George Yúdice explores critically how groups ranging from indigenous activists to nation-states to nongovernmental organizations have all come to see culture as a valuable resource to be invested in, contested, and used for varied sociopolitical and economic ends. Through a dazzling series of illustrative studies, Yúdice challenges the Gramscian notion of cultural struggle for hegemony and instead develops an understanding of culture where cultural agency at every level is negotiated within globalized contexts dominated by the active management and administration of culture. He describes a world where “high” culture (such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain) is a mode of urban development, rituals and everyday aesthetic practices are mobilized to promote tourism and the heritage industries, and mass culture industries comprise significant portions of a number of countries’ gross national products. Yúdice contends that a new international division of cultural labor has emerged, combining local difference with transnational administration and investment. This does not mean that today’s increasingly transnational culture—exemplified by the entertainment industries and the so-called global civil society of nongovernmental organizations—is necessarily homogenized. He demonstrates that national and regional differences are still functional, shaping the meaning of phenomena from pop songs to antiracist activism. Yúdice considers a range of sites where identity politics and cultural agency are negotiated in the face of powerful transnational forces. He analyzes appropriations of American funk music as well as a citizen action initiative in Rio de Janeiro to show how global notions such as cultural difference are deployed within specific social fields. He provides a political and cultural economy of a vast and increasingly influential art event— insite a triennial festival extending from San Diego to Tijuana. He also reflects on the city of Miami as one of a number of transnational “cultural corridors” and on the uses of culture in an unstable world where censorship and terrorist acts interrupt the usual channels of capitalist and artistic flows.

Download or read book Transglobal Sounds written by João Sardinha and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a transnational, comparative and multi-level approach to the relationship between youth, migration, and music, the aesthetic intersections between the local and the global, and between agency and identity, are presented through case studies in this book. Transglobal Sounds contemplates migrant youth and the impact of music in diaspora settings and on the lives of individuals and collectives, engaging with broader questions of how new modes of identification are born out of the social, cultural, historical and political interfaces between youth, migration and music. Thus, through acts of mobility and environments lived in and in-between, this volume seeks to articulate between musical transnationalism and sense of place in exploring the complex relationship between music and young migrants and migrant descendant's everyday lives.
Download or read book Education in a Globalized World written by Nelly P. Stromquist and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2002 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seemingly amorphous phenomenon we call "globalization" involves concrete realities that make it a major source of social change in our contemporary world. Bringing globalization alive for students, this book uses examples and perspectives from economics, technology, and mass media to show how globalization is producing unprecedented impacts on education and culture. Education at all levels--from primary school to university education--is undergoing a world wide transformation of its objectives, values, and practices. New technologies and communication practices have promoted the West's optimism that market forces can replace the former governmental responsibilities for social welfare and the inclusion of diverse cultures. New emphasis on competition, quality control, parental choice, marketing, and the linkage of education to work means that schools all over the world face innovations and challenges to established practices. Meanwhile, the worldwide expansion of entertainment and advertising media convey notions of individualism and consumerism that are changing definitions of gender and solidarity among social groups. This book offers a vivid introduction to these complex changes, recognizing the role of the state while explaining new forces like transnational corporations and nongovernmental organizations. Stromquist points to governmental and school policies that can actively shape the future of education at a time of rapid change.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Transnational Law written by Peer Zumbansen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 1246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Transnational Law offers a unique and unparalleled treatment and presentation in the field of Transnational Law that has become one of the most intriguing and innovative developments in legal doctrine, scholarship, theory, and practice today. This in itself constitutes an ambitious editorial project, not only within law and legal doctrine, but also with regard to an increasing interest in an interdisciplinary engagement of law with social sciences - including sociology, anthropology, political science, geography, and political theory. Closely tied into the substantive transformation that many legal fields are undergoing is the observation that many of these developments are driven by changes in an increasingly global legal practice today. The concept then, of 'transnational law' aims at capturing the distinctly border- crossing nature even of those legal fields which had for the longest been time been seen as having merely 'domestic' relevance. This shift also requires a conscious effort among law school classroom instructors, casebook authors, and curriculum reformers to adapt their teaching content to these circumstances. As the authors of this Handbook make clear, this adaptation requires a close dialogue between a scholarly investigation into the transnational 'concept of law' and the challenges faced by practicing lawyers, be that as solicitor, in-house counsel, as judges, or as bureaucrats in a globalized regulatory and socio-economic environment. While the main thrust is on the transnationalization of legal doctrine and legal theory, with a considerable contribution from and engagement with social sciences, the Handbook features numerous reflections on the relationship between transnational law and legal practice.
