This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El presente libro unifica un conjunto de ensayos que se agrupan en una doble perspectiva; la justificación filosófica de los derechos y su aplicación en la práctica del constitucionalismo latinoamericano. La primera parte, dedicada a la filosofía de los derechos, se ocupa del concepto de los derechos, en sus modalidades de humanos y fundamentales; de su función en las democracias constitucionales contemporáneas; de diversas formas de concebirlos y de su goce efectivo en una realidad concreta. El objeto de estudio es el lenguaje normativo desde una perspectiva pragmática. ¿Por qué es importante conservar la pretensión de objetividad a la hora de justificar filosóficamente los derechos? ¿Pueden las buenas razones ser suficiente motivación para mover a la acción o para justificar la omisión? ¿Son exigibles vía la coerción organizada en el estado constitucional y democrático de derecho, las actuaciones basadas en buenas razones debidamente justificadas? ¿Es posible determinar objetivamente un mínimo de acciones u omisiones jurídica, moral y políticamente exigibles? ¿En qué afecta la práctica del derecho constitucional e internacional concebir los derechos como principios o fines? Todos estos interrogantes son abordados y discutidos a la luz de la concepción pragmatista de los derechos. La segunda parte reflexiona sobre el estado, las perspectivas y los desafíos del derecho constitucional en América Latina en los últimos dos lustros. Realizar los derechos, sean humanos, constitucionales o fundamentales, exige siempre tener los ojos bien abiertos a la realidad material que se pretende modificar mediante el uso del discurso normativo. El hecho de que los derechos se realicen de forma progresiva, ha llevado equivocadamente a que algunos les atribuyan una supuesta naturaleza “aspiracional”. Tal apreciación no es compartida aquí; su efecto devalúa el carácter normativo de los derechos. Asociar los derechos humanos y fundamentales —en particular los derechos económicos, sociales, culturales y ambientes— a “aspiraciones”, es recaer en una concepción bien sea iusnaturalista, en la que los derechos per se se tiene con independencia de la realidad sociológica, o iuspositivista, que los hace coincidir con acciones con mera relevancia simbólica. El plano normativo viene a complementarse con el plano de la facticidad; los derechos se realizan siempre en un contexto histórico y geográfico concreto, en nuestro caso el discurso y la práctica del derecho constitucional en Latinoamérica, lo que otorga énfasis y marcadores particulares al tratamiento del tema. Como en la literatura, el lector de otras latitudes podrá, si mantiene la menta abierta, encontrar semejanzas y diferencias en la reconstrucción de una práctica cuyo perfeccionamiento trasciende la utilidad local.

Download or read book Medell n environment urbanism society written by Michel Hermelin Arbaux and published by Universidad EAFIT. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent times what has become known as "the case of Medellín " has generated a growing interest in the international community. These urban transformation that Medellín has experimented have become a focus of attention and reference for experts in many fields, around the world. The book ́Medellin: Environment, Urbanism and Society ́, that now published the Center for Urban and Environmental Studies, Urbam, of EAFIT University is a testimony of the value given by our culture to the accomplishments of the city, to the idea of the public sphere and the growing relationship between the technical sphere and the political sphere, understood in the broad sense as a form of disciplinary knowledge and construction of civil society. This book brings together a knowledge of the city from multiple perspectives; knowledge that is, without any doubt, impressive for its extension and profoundity, as well as for its capacity to combine objective data with conceptual reflections about the scope and impact of the different perspectives concerning the theme of urban transformation and the different actors that have participated in such processes. The book weaves a broad net over the city, its history and development, adopting a multidisciplinary vision. I think that this will be the first step in creating a speech that might finally liberate itself from the strict disciplinary boundaries, building a trans-disciplinary perspective that can amplify the urban dimension of the city. This is the beginning of a profound and complex reflection that is, at the same time, a project of knowledge and an instrument of action and participation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents both an analysis of how identities are built, represented and negotiated in narrative, as well as a theoretical reflection on the links between narrative discourse and identity construction. The data for the book are Mexican immigrants' personal experience narratives and chronicles of their border crossings into the United States. Embracing a view of identity as a construct firmly grounded in discourse and interaction, the author examines and illustrates the multiple threads that connect the local expression and negotiation of identity to the wider social contexts that frame the experience of migration, from material conditions of life in the United States to mainstream discourses about race and color. The analysis reveals how identities emerge in discourse through the interplay of different levels of expression, from implicit adherence to narrative styles and ways of telling, to explicit negotiation of membership categories.
Download or read book Baron de Vastey and the Origins of Black Atlantic Humanism written by Marlene L. Daut and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the influential life and works of the Haitian political writer and statesman, Baron de Vastey (1781-1820), in this book Marlene L. Daut examines the legacy of Vastey’s extensive writings as a form of what she calls black Atlantic humanism, a discourse devoted to attacking the enlightenment foundations of colonialism. Daut argues that Vastey, the most important secretary of Haiti’s King Henry Christophe, was a pioneer in a tradition of deconstructing colonial racism and colonial slavery that is much more closely associated with twentieth-century writers like W.E.B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, and Aimé Césaire. By expertly forging exciting new historical and theoretical connections among Vastey and these later twentieth-century writers, as well as eighteenth- and nineteenth-century black Atlantic authors, such as Phillis Wheatley, Olaudah Equiano, William Wells Brown, and Harriet Jacobs, Daut proves that any understanding of the genesis of Afro-diasporic thought must include Haiti’s Baron de Vastey.
Download or read book United States Venezuela Relations Since the 1990s written by Javier Corrales and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil makes up one-third of Venezuela's entire GDP, and the United States is far and away Venezuela's largest trading partner. Relations between Venezuela and the United States, traditionally close for most of the last two centuries, began to fray as the end of the Cold War altered the international environment. U.S.-Venezuela Relations since the 1990s explores relations between these two countries since 1999, when Hugo Chavez came to office and proceeded to change Venezuela's historical relation with the United States and other democracies. The authors analyze the reasons for rising bilateral conflict, the decision-making process in Venezuela, the role played by public and private actors in shaping foreign policy, the role of other powers such as China, Russia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia in shaping U.S.-Venezuelan relations, the role of Venezuela in Cuba and Colombia, and the impact of broader international dynamics in the bi-lateral relations.
