Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los problemas surgidos en las últimas décadas en las democracias occidentales proporcionan suficientes argumentos como para caracterizar la época que estamos viviendo como era de la incertidumbre. Las teorías son importantes para explicar la realidad y para comprender los comportamientos sociales. A pesar de la frustración y el escepticismo que ha producido el fracaso de buena parte de la reflexión teórica y de las predicciones que nacieron con vocación de transmitir confianza en el porvenir, el presente libro reivindica la validez de la teoría sobre el cambio social para interpretar las transformaciones a las que estamos asistiendo, revisando críticamente algunos de sus sesgos. Examina, asimismo, los cambios acontecidos en los ámbitos cultural, económico, institucional y urbano, utilizando como hilo conductor el repaso crítico a los sistemas teóricos que se proponen explicarlos.

Book excerpt: "Este es el segundo volumen de una reflexión iniciada por un colectivo de investigadores que se puso como tarea observar la sociedad contemporánea en sus distintas facetas. En el primer texto, titulado El nuevo malestar en la cultura, se dibujó las distintas formas del malestar actual. Este libro retoma la pregunta, pero se concentra en las estrategias de los actores para dar respuesta, actuar y avanzar en las adversas condiciones en que viven. Compuesto por 16 capítulos, el documento analiza la experiencia religiosa o laboral, los jóvenes marginales urbanos o las mujeres profesionales universitarias, la violencia o el internet. Desde múltiples lugares de observación, la inquietud de fondo es entender cómo los individuos dan sentido a su vida en un mundo caracterizado por la aceleración de los cambios económicos, políticos, sociales, técnicos y culturales"--Back cover.

Download or read book La Sociedad Inalterable written by Jose Antonio Martinez and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-05-23 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La sociedad, inalterable" es el resultado de la recopilación del contenido incluido en mi blog "El mito del cambio social" durante el último año (de marzo de 2014 a abril de 2015). Habida cuenta que muchas de las entradas del mismo han sido transcripciones de algunas partes de mis obras, junto con algunos otros comentarios sobre la realidad más inmediata y unas pocas pinceladas sobre autores que se caracterizan por una cierta interdisciplinariedad y amplitud de miras sobre el papel de las disciplinas humanas, me ha parecido interesante reunir todo ese material verdaderamente heterogéneo como ilustración de nuestra propuesta metodológica (ciertamente imbuida por un necesario concurso de todas las disciplinas que versan sobre el hombre y la sociedad), en aras de rebajar el efecto que la teoría del cambio social ha ocasionada sobre la comprensión de la realidad del hombre y la sociedad, buscando argumentos y apoyos en los que seguir construyendo nuestra apuesta por una consideración que haga mayor hincapié en los aspectos permanentes de la existencia humana. Está claro que se trata de un conglomerado parcial y escasamente sistemático, pero entiendo que aglutina frescura e inmediatez junto con reflexiones más profundas, lo que le da un punto de contraste a la teoría, que permite su clarificación.

Download or read book Alternative Economic Spaces written by Andrew Leyshon and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2003-08-13 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `A hopeful but nonetheless hard-hitting analysis of alternative economic spaces proliferating in the belly of the capitalist beast. In this book Leyshon, Lee and Williams convene fascinating studies of exchange, enterprise, credit and community. They invite us onto a new and promising discursive terrain where we can analyze, criticize and above all recognize actually existing economies of diversity in the wealthy countries of the West′ - J K Gibson-Graham, Australian National University and University of Massachusetts, Amherst In the context of problems in the `new economy′ - from dot.com start-ups, high-technology, and telecoms - Alternative Economic Spaces presents a critical evaluation of alternatives to the global economic mainstream. It focuses on the emergence of alternative economic geographies within developed economies and analyzes the emergence of alternative economic practices within industrialized countries. These include the creation of institutions like Local Exchange and Trading Systems, Credit Unions, and other social economy initiatives; and the development of alternative practices from informal work to the invention of consumption sites that act as alternatives to the monoply of the `big-box′, multi-chain retail outlets. Alternative Economic Spaces is a reconsideration of what is meant by the `economic′ in economic geography; its objective is to bring together some of the ways in which this is being undertaken. The volume shows how the `economic′ is being rethought in economic geography by detailing new economic geographies as they are emerging in practice.

Download or read book The Robots Are Coming written by Andres Oppenheimer and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Staying true to his trademark journalistic approach, Andrés Oppenheimer takes his readers on yet another journey, this time across the globe, in a thought-provoking search to understand what the future holds for today's jobs in the foreseeable age of automation. The Robots Are Coming! centers around the issue of jobs and their future in the context of rapid automation and the growth of online products and services. As two of Oppenheimer's interviewees -- both experts in technology and economics from Oxford University -- indicate, forty-seven percent of existing jobs are at risk of becoming automated or rendered obsolete by other technological changes in the next twenty years. Oppenheimer examines current changes in several fields, including the food business, legal work, banking, and medicine, speaking with experts in the field, and citing articles and literature on automation in various areas of the workforce. He contrasts the perspectives of "techno-optimists" with those of "techno-negativists" and generally attempts to find a middle ground between an alarmist vision of the future, and one that is too uncritical. A self-described "cautious optimist", Oppenheimer believes that technology will not create massive unemployment, but rather will drastically change what work looks like.

Download or read book University and School Collaborations During a Pandemic written by Fernando M. Reimers and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach
