Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La enmarañada red del sistema económico global no es en realidad más que el producto de la actividad de los aproximadamente 2.000 millones de especies que pueblan la Tierra. Sin embargo, la actual crisis ecológica global solo puede analizarse dentro de su propio contexto, conformado por la intersección entre ecología, economía y política. Asier Arias trata en estas páginas de ofrecer una visión global y actualizada del alarmante estado de nuestras relaciones con nuestro medio, con la compleja trama global de ecosistemas de la que nuestra existencia depende. Durante esta panorámica de la crisis ecológica se aproxima al modo en que la tratan, respectivamente, los medios y las políticas occidentales, y cómo la sufren en el Tercer Mundo. Pero también examina las causas de la pasiva y desarticulada respuesta ciudadana a dicha crisis.

Download or read book The Anthropology of Disasters in Latin America written by Virginia García-Acosta and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers anthropological insights into disasters in Latin America. It fills a gap in the literature by bringing together national and regional perspectives in the study of disasters. The book essentially explores the emergence and development of anthropological studies of disasters. It adopts a methodological approach based on ethnography, participant observation, and field research to assess the social and historical constructions of disasters and how these are perceived by people of a certain region. This regional perspective helps assess long-term dynamics, regional capacities, and regional-global interactions on disaster sites. With chapters written by prominent Latin American anthropologists, this book also considers the role of the state and other nongovernmental organizations in managing disasters and the specific conditions of each country, relative to a greater or lesser incidence of disastrous events. Globalizing the existing literature on disasters with a focus on Latin America, this book offers multidisciplinary insights that will be of interest to academics and students of geography, anthropology, sociology, and political science.
Download or read book A History of Spanish Institutions written by Baumert, Thomas and published by ESIC. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Institutions and their history matter; and not only because they are crucial elements in explaining a country’s socio-political evolution, but also as determinant factors of economic development, wealth and prosperity. Usually, the history of institutions has been taught the point of view of legal science, an approach that made the topic little attractive and often difficult to assimilate for students of other fields such as Economics, Business Studies, Marketing and others. And precisely these groups are the ones that this book addresses. It presents, in a rigorous yet entertaining way the evolution of Spanish institutions the first human settlements in the peninsula to date and does so explaining the main points in a succinct, but well-contextualised form. For this purpose, each chapter combines the exposition of a given period’s historic facts with the description of its most characteristic institutions. Each chapter then complements its content by explaining the history of one notable symbol of Spain (its flag, the different coat of arms, feasts, orders, etcetera). This modular structure, together with the presentation of the information according to its degree of relevance, allows readers — depending on their specific interests and needs—, to adapt and combine the texts that compose this book as to optimise the results of their study. “The modern didactic approach followed by the authors, their understanding of institutions in a broader sense than usual, the extraordinary work of synthesis […] has produced a basic tool for the study of this subject, one that will give students fruitful results, even if they have very heterogeneous backgrounds in Spanish history.” Esther Valbuena
Download or read book Lo Posthumano written by Rosi Braidoti and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuestra segunda vida en el mundo digital, la comida genéticamente modificada, las prótesis de nueva generación y las tecnologías reproductivas son aspectos ya familiares de la condición posthumana. Ya que se han borrado las fronteras entre aquello que es humano y aquello que no lo es, poniendo en evidencia la base no natural del ser humano actual. Desde el punto de vista de la Filosofía y la Teoría Política, urge actualizar las definiciones de identidad y los fenómenos sociales a raíz de este salto. Con un simple análisis se verá que después de haber constatado el fin del Humanismo, es preciso ver en esta transformación las malas intenciones de una colonización de la vida por parte de los mercados y su lógica del beneficio. Es preciso, pues, adecuar la teoría a los cambios en curso, sin añoranzas por una humanidad ahora perdida y cogiendo las oportunidades ofrecidas por las formas de Neohumanismo que nacen de los movimientos medio ambientales y de los Estudios de Género y Postcoloniales.
Download or read book War and Genocide in Cuba 1895 1898 written by John Lawrence Tone and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2006-12-08 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1895 to 1898, Cuban insurgents fought to free their homeland from Spanish rule. Though often overshadowed by the "Splendid Little War" of the Americans in 1898, according to John Tone, the longer Spanish-Cuban conflict was in fact more remarkable, foreshadowing the wars of decolonization in the twentieth century. Employing newly released evidence--including hospital records, intercepted Cuban letters, battle diaries from both sides, and Spanish administrative records--Tone offers new answers to old questions concerning the war. He examines the origin of Spain's genocidal policy of "reconcentration"; the causes of Spain's military difficulties; the condition, effectiveness, and popularity of the Cuban insurgency; the necessity of American intervention; and Spain's supposed foreknowledge of defeat. The Spanish-Cuban-American war proved pivotal in the histories of all three countries involved. Tone's fresh analysis will provoke new discussions and debates among historians and human rights scholars as they reexamine the war in which the concentration camp was invented, Cuba was born, Spain lost its empire, and America gained an overseas empire.

Download or read book El gran Caribe written by Martha Ardila Ardila and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pesar de que Colombia posee fronteras marítimas en el Caribe, un departamento archipiélago con las características de San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina, y una costa caribeña de 1.600 kilómetros, son muy escasos tanto el conocimiento como los estudios académicos que nuestros analistas realizan sobre esta área geográfica. Por eso, la Facultad considera que este libro, en el que participan académicos de diversas nacionalidades, y pertenecientes a variadas disciplinas y aproximaciones a la realidad interna y externa del Caribe, constituye un valioso aporte al conocimiento de una región que es tan diversa, que en el pasado fuera escenario de enfrentamientos entre las principales potencias, y que resulta relevante para las nuevas y futuras tendencias de la globalización.
