This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biografies invisibles: Marginats i marginals és un volum que conté una sèrie d’estudis de casos concrets de personatges històrics desconeguts en gran mesura i que, pel fet d’haver tingut unes vides al marge de la llei en moltes ocasions, no són actualment coneguts. També, sobre personatges literaris que encarnen aquelles opcions no majoritàries i, encara, reflexions més genèriques sobre aquells grups o sobre els textos que ens han transmés aquelles realitats. Biografies invisibles: Marginats i marginals conté quasi una vintena de treballs de reconeguts especialistes de diferents universitats europees, que han analitzat casos de dones marginades, homosexuals, i d’altres personatges marginals des de l’òptica actual. Es tracta de retornar-los la veu que un dia, la societat on van viure, els va negar. Invisible Biographies: Marginates and marginals is a volume that contains a series of specific case studies of largely unknown figures from the past who, because of their lives on the fringes of the law on many occasions, were silenced. Also, on literary characters who embody those non-majority options and, in addition, more generic reflections on those groups or on the texts that have transmitted to us those polyhedral realities. Invisible Biographies: Marginates and marginals contains almost twenty works by renowned specialists from different European universities, who have analysed the cases of marginalized women, Jews, homosexuals, and other persecuted characters from a contemporary perspective. The aim is to give them back the voice that the society in which they lived once denied them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cara Invisible. Es una historia que dejara tus pensamientos en el aire y curiosidad perplejá, donde el engaño y el capricho son los elementos que componen esta agonizante polémica entre el bien y mal. Algunos piensan y opinan que el infierno es una hoya o un pozo de lava hirviendo otros que la tierra es el mismo infierno, muchos cristianos opinan lo mismo. Los católicos por ejemplo piensan que el infierno esta reservado para los malos y el cielo para los buenos, si esto fuera así contradice el plan de salvación y el sacrificio de ("Jescto?). Ninguna de las versiones se aproxima a la idea de FEN el escritor". P.N.M asegura que el Infierno es otra galaxia debajo de la Orbita Solar y no pertenece a esta galaxia según el escritor, existe la galaxia negra pero no pertenece a la nuestra; si esto es verdad no hay evidencia científica que confirme o asegure esta locura.

Download or read book Fragile States in the Americas written by Jonathan D. Rosen and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-12-07 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Americas face many security challenges, including drug trafficking, organized crime, guerrilla movements, terrorism, and environmental challenges. Experts have long debated whether some countries in the region can be classified as failed states. While various states in the Americas have been labeled as failed states, calling a country a failed state is quite controversial and requires a precise definition of what constitutes a failed state. This book instead discusses fragile states in the Americas. Fragile states are weak states that are fertile grounds for organized crime groups and illegal actors as such groups are able to infiltrate the state apparatus through corruption. The goal of this book is to examine fragile states in the region and the major security challenges that these states face. The cause of state fragility is different for various states. Theoretically, the work will conceptualize the meaning of fragility as it relates to state survival and autonomy. Empirically, the book focuses on contemporary threats to the survival of fragile states in the Americas. The book explains and analyzes the main political, security, and economic challenges of these states. It employs a wide array of cases that delve into the security and economic threats and priorities of states in the Americas.
Download or read book Invisible Cultures written by Francesco Carrer and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural and social groups whose outlines are difficult to identify are often considered “invisible”. Occasionally, material remains compensate for the absence of historiographical records or literary sources concerning these groups; sometimes communities or individuals mentioned in literary sources do not appear to have left material signs of their presence. On the other hand, there are groups or individuals whose existence has to be assumed in every historical period, even though they are invisible in both historiography and archaeology. Before trying to understand the lifestyle and historical agency of these “invisible cultures”, it is necessary to highlight the reasons why the memory of certain marginalized individuals or socio-cultural units disappeared or was obliterated in material culture and in literary sources. The postgraduate conference “Invisible Cultures: Historical and Archaeological Perspectives” brought together young scholars from various backgrounds and research interests to discuss these issues. This volume presents the results of this debate, through a series of selected papers, from various interdisciplinary perspectives, which analyse a variety of case studies, leading to the identification of new theoretical and methodological perspectives aimed at returning voice and presence to the “invisibles” of history.
Download or read book Decolonial Feminism in Abya Yala written by Yuderkys Espinosa-Miñoso and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of eleven chapters and an introduction that develop key arguments in decolonial feminism, particularly, the coloniality of gender, the critique of white and Eurocentric feminisms, the imbrication between gender, race, and colonialism, feminicides, and the coloniality of democracy and public institutions. The introduction addresses the path of decolonial feminism: from a new approach to understanding the relationship between gender as a category, race, and colonialism that combined U.S. Third World feminism and scholarship on coloniality and decoloniality to its exponential growth in the hands of activists and engaged scholars from Latin America and the Caribbean. Today, much of the literature on decolonial feminism in Latin America and the Caribbean remains unknown in the U.S. This anthology seeks to start remedying this problem with seven translations of work originally written in Spanish, and three essays originally written in English that address the fundamental concepts of decolonial feminism as well as its contributions to important contemporary political and intellectual debates.
Download or read book Invisible Work written by Efraín Kristal and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that Jorge Luis Borges was a translator, but this has been considered a curious minor aspect of his literary achievement. Few have been aware of the number of texts he translated, the importance he attached to this activity, or the extent to which the translated works inform his own stories and poems. Between the age of ten, when he translated Oscar Wilde, and the end of his life, when he prepared a Spanish version of the Prose Edda , Borges transformed the work of Poe, Kafka, Hesse, Kipling, Melville, Gide, Faulkner, Whitman, Woolf, Chesterton, and many others. In a multitude of essays, lectures, and interviews Borges analyzed the versions of others and developed an engaging view about translation. He held that a translation can improve an original, that contradictory renderings of the same work can be equally valid, and that an original can be unfaithful to a translation. Borges's bold habits as translator and his views on translation had a decisive impact on his creative process. Translation is also a recurrent motif in Borges's stories. In "The Immortal," for example, a character who has lived for many centuries regains knowledge of poems he had authored, and almost forgotten, by way of modern translations. Many of Borges's fictions include actual or imagined translations, and some of his most important characters are translators. In "Pierre Menard, author of the Quixote," Borges's character is a respected Symbolist poet, but also a translator, and the narrator insists that Menard's masterpiece-his "invisible work"-adds unsuspected layers of meaning to Cervantes's Don Quixote. George Steiner cites this short story as "the most acute, most concentrated commentary anyone has offered on the business of translation." In an age where many discussions of translation revolve around the dichotomy faithful/unfaithful, this book will surprise and delight even Borges's closest readers and critics.
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Childhood Studies and Global Development written by Tatek Abebe and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-28 with total page 743 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Childhood Studies and Global Development explores how global development agendas and processes of economic development influence children’s lives. It demonstrates that children are not only the frequent targets or objects of development but that they also shape and influence processes of economic, political and sociocultural development. The handbook makes the case for the importance of placing children at the heart of development debates and demonstrates how researchers, policymakers and practitioners can engage children in development. Through reports on field research as well as a critical engagement with theories in development studies and childhood studies, contributors contest normative assumptions about childhood and global development. They tease out and tease apart the complex social, historical, cultural, economic, epidemiological, ecological, geopolitical, and institutional processes transforming what it means to be young in the world today. Showcasing research from both established scholars and early career researchers, and with particular prominence given to the work of authors from the global south, this book will be an essential reference for policymakers, practitioners, and for researchers and students across childhood studies, education, geography, sociology, and global development.

Download or read book Nada En Absoluto written by Darielys Tejera and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-02-02 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El propósito de este libro es, fundamentalmente, dar esperanza a aquéllos que atraviesan por la misma situación que una vez vivió la autora Darielys Tejera. Pretende además sacar a la luz una historia con la cual el lector pueda identificarse, y crear una conciencia entre los demás de que el suicidio sí ocurre, y que cuando ocurre, la víctima nunca está sola porque hay muchos que pasan por lo mismo. A algunos se les dan talentos, mientras que otros tienen que encontrar por sí solos su razón de ser. Mis talentos los descubrí. Mi razón de ser la tuve que buscar hasta que la encontré. Mi razón de ser era y es ayudar a otros. Por eso decidí escribir este libro. Creo que todos estamos en este mundo para, en un momento u otro, de una manera o otra, salvar a alguien, aunque no siempre tengamos conciencia de ello.
Download or read book Profetas Menores del Antiguo Testamento written by Alejandro Roque Glez and published by Alejandro's Libros. This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la presente obra te ofrecemos las profecías encerradas en los capítulos dedicados a los libros hagiógrafos y Profetas Menores del Antiguo Testamento. Profetas Menores no significa en lo absoluto que estos hombres de Dios fueran en dignidad 'menores'; sino que sus escritos no fueron tan extensos como los 'mayores', siendo usados en otras tareas diferentes, y en ciertas ocasiones profetizaron hechos que los 'mayores' solo generalizaron; encomendándosele a ellos profundizar y añadir detalles importantes relacionados con la escatología y cronología bíblica.Como libro de estudio se diferencia de otros en que no es simplemente para saciar la curiosidad, sino adentrarnos en el futuro que apremia anunciándonos y explicando las profecías bíblicas al detalle. Es más que nada lo que el Espíritu Santo de Dios ha revelado fruto del estudio esforzado de todas esas profecías bíblicas que señalan indudablemente hasta nuestros días previos al Apocalipsis y anunciado advenimiento del Señor; seguido del prometido y establecido reino del Altísimo. Es por tanto un libro dirigido a aquellos interesados en escudriñar--como se nos dice en San Juan 5:39-las profecías bíblicas, incluidas dentro del Plan de Dios, dedicándole tiempo, paciencia y mucha oración.Deseamos de todo corazón que las Escrituras proféticas te acerquen más al Creador hallando la Salvación y puerta de entrada a la eternidad a través de nuestro Redentor. Esperamos que te sea de ayuda para seguir velando y estar preparados para los ciertos y duros acontecimientos que se le avecinan a la humanidad en nuestros días.Índice :-Notas del autor.-Libro de Josué.-Libro de Ruth.-Libro de Samuel (1 y 2 ).-Libro de Reyes (1 y 2).-Libro de Crónicas (1ro).-Libro de Job.-Libro de los Salmos.-Libro de los Proverbios.-Libro de Eclesiastés.-Libro de El cantar de los cantares.-Libro de Oseas.-Libro de Joel.-Libro de Amós.-Libro de Abdías.-Libro de Jonás.-Libro de Miqueas.-Libro de Nahúm.-Libro de Habacuc.-Libro de Sofonías.-Libro de Haggeo.-Libro de Zacarías.-Libro de Malaquías.-Reflexión Intertestamentaria.El autor de los 'Profetas Menores del Antiguo Testamento' nació en Ciudad Habana, Cuba; y actualmente reside en el sur de la Florida, Estados Unidos.

Download or read book Marxism and Criminology written by Valeria Vegh Weis and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-02-20 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award In Marxism and Criminology: A History of Criminal Selectivity, Valeria Vegh Weis rehabilitates the contributions and the methodology of Marx and Engels to analyze crime and punishment through the historical development of capitalism (15th Century to the present) in Europe and in the United States. The author puts forward the concepts of over-criminalization and under-criminalization to show that the criminal justice system has always been selective. Criminal injustice, the book argues, has been an inherent element of the founding and reproduction of a capitalist society. At a time when racial profiling, prosecutorial discretion, and mass incarceration continue to defy easy answers, Vegh Weis invites us to revisit Marx and Engels’ contributions to identify socio-economic and historic patterns of crime and punishment in order to foster transformative changes to criminal justice. The book includes a Foreword by Professor Roger Matthews of Kent University, and an Afterword written by Professor Jonathan Simon of the University of California, Berkeley.
