Download or read book Ethnopsychology written by Rolando Díaz-Loving and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an overview of Mexican ethnopsychology, an original theoretical and methodological approach that seeks to complement the mainstream psychological science – based on universal principles, processes and constructs – with scientific methods to study the idiosyncratic features and behaviors typical of specific cultural groups. It proposes a historic-bio-psycho-socio-cultural theoretical model to describe research findings of social, psychological, collective and individual phenomena. Psychology is at a crossroads of years of research with stress on internal validity and little attention to contextual and cultural variables. It becomes fundamental to continue on the internal validity track but at the same time incorporate external validity issues. The growth of indigenous movements and data allows for a profound evaluation of the extents to which apparent universal phenomena are truly universal, and to what extent they are idiosyncratic manifestations of the cultures where the mainstream research is conducted. Mexican ethnopsychologists have been following this path for decades, since the pioneer work of Rogelio Díaz-Guerrero, but until now little has been published in English about this innovative theoretical approach. Ethnopsychology – Pieces from the Mexican Research Gallery fills this gap by presenting the international community an overview of Mexican ethnopsychology and thus providing a useful tool to behavioral, social and health scientists interested in understanding how culture shapes both collective and individual behaviors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las parejas formadas por miembros de diferentes países e idiomas son cada vez más frecuentes en todo el mundo, debido a la globalización y la movilidad geográfica. En España, el 15% del total de matrimonios está ya formado por un cónyuge extranjero y un español. La vida de estas familias interétnicas no siempre es sencilla, tienen que superar muchos prejuicios y asumir muchas renuncias. Pero a cambio obtienen una formación única en multiculturalidad y plurilingüismo. Las historias de parejas mixtas con circunstancias diversas (procedencia, edad, idioma) nos sirven para comprobar hasta qué punto ha arraigado el cosmopolitismo en nuestra sociedad. Los protagonistas hablan de la adaptación mutua a la cultura del otro, de la llegada de los hijos y del choque con el racismo y las ideas preconcebidas.

Download or read book Juan de Pareja Afro Hispanic Painter in the Age of Vel zquez written by David Pullins and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2023-04-03 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diego Velázquez’s portrait of Juan de Pareja (ca. 1608–1670) has long been a landmark of European art, but this provocative study focuses on its subject: an enslaved man who went on to build his own successful career as an artist. This catalogue—the first scholarly monograph on Pareja— discusses the painter’s ties to the Madrid School of the 1660s and revises our understanding of artistic production during Spain’s Golden Age, with a focus on enslaved artists and artisans. The authors illuminate the highly skilled labor within Seville’s multiracial society; the role of Black saints and confraternities in the promotion of Catholicism among enslaved populations; and early twentieth-century scholar Arturo Schomburg’s project to recover Pareja’s legacy. The book also includes the first illustrated and annotated list of known works attributed to Pareja.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Diccionario de la Democracia contiene la teoría y la ideología de los regímenes democráticos: sus antecedentes; orígenes; principios; modalidades de deliberación y leyes; sus instituciones clave y variedades, acorde con la clase social que los dirija y el arreglo institucional correlativo. Asimismo compara sus principios, leyes e instituciones con otros regímenes, particularmente con sus opuestos, las oligarquías o gobiernos de pocos, pero también con la república, la tiranía y la realeza; las razones de Estado que permiten su conquista, conservación y estabilidad; las fuentes internas y externas que los amenazan; las maneras de corromperse y las revoluciones que los afectan. Trata también de los usos, costumbres y caracteres democráticos; inventaría los rasgos éticos de la vida democrática, por sí mismos y comprobados con los de los ricos, las clases medias y los tiranos, hasta detallar las relaciones que sostienen entre sí dirigentes y dirigidos, hombres y mujeres, viejos, jóvenes, maestros y alumnos, ciudadanos y animales..., por el impacto que la libertad e igualdad popular tienen en la vida pública y privada de sus pueblos. Parte medular del mismo es la exposición de las doctrinas, dogmas, leyes e instituciones del modelo liberal moderno de la democracia; un credo que se analiza en calidad de justificación del nouveau régime por parte de sus ideólogos modernos más destacados y lúcidos, quienes desvían el significado de las palabras ] democracia ] y ] liberal ] atribuidas sin más a los Estados modernos.

Download or read book Pr cticas alienadoras familiares written by Juan Luis Linares and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro trata de las prácticas alienadoras familiares, una modalidad de maltrato infantil especialmente correosa y difícil de combatir, ya que se encuentra en la encrucijada entre la parentalidad y la relación conyugal. Cuando las tormentas que azotan a la relación de pareja alcanzan su mayor intensidad la protección de los hijos queda amenazada. El maltrato parento-filial es el más claro exponente del fracaso del amor como fenómeno relacional complejo propio de la condición humana. Este tipo de maltrato existió desde los orígenes de la especie, pero fue con la llamada revolución neolítica cuándo alcanzó una expansión significativa. La obra se compone de varios bloques temáticos que abordan la parte teórica, las bases para la definición de los fenómenos de alienación familiar, y una descripción de las Prácticas Alineadoras Familiares (PAF) como una alternativa al Síndrome de Alienación Parental (SAP). También se describen casos que ilustran algunas de las ideas centrales del libro y sus aplicaciones en España, Italia, Chile y Perú.

Download or read book Historia m nima La cultura mexicana en el siglo XX written by Carlos Monsiváis and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2010-02-09 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta obra póstuma, Carlos Monsiváis, con su estilo y erudición únicos, recorre un siglo de la vida cultural de México, si bien, como él mismo confiesa, ésta es una tarea inacabable a la que además se suma la brevedad de la obra, que le obliga a cerrar su crónica en la década de 1980, dejando fuera los movimientos y creadores de los dos últimos decenios del siglo XX. Su recorrido parte de la época del modernismo y pasa por todas las manifestaciones culturales que se desarrollan a lo largo de las siguientes décadas, como la narrativa de la Revolución, el muralismo, la cultura en los años veinte, los Contemporáneos, la poesía de la generación del 50 hasta llegar al año de la ruptura que representa 1968 y las manifestaciones culturales que de él se desprenden.
