Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victim Activists in Mexico: Social and Political Mobilization amid Extreme Violence and Disappearances examines the collective action of the courageous family members of the disappeared in the midst of Mexico’s ongoing humanitarian crisis over the last decades. Yael Siman and Matthew Hone analyze this grassroots mobilization and argue that the activists have created rutinary, contentious, and innovative types of resistance through building local and trans-local links of support and solidarity that reinforce their struggle. This mobilization from below has contributed to constructing transitional justice including laws, public apologies, and memorials. The combination of internal and external factors impacting the collectives and their environment has enabled significant changes in the institutions, state responses, and the victimhood narratives in the country. This book adds to the scholarship on the collective action of grieving families by focusing on both the social and political aspects of mobilization.

Download or read book Disenfranchised grief in contemporary society written by Gabriela Casellato and published by Summus Editorial. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death itself is already a major taboo in the Western world. The same can be said about grief, particulalry when it is not seen as such - the so-called symbolic and/or ambiguous losses. With this reality in mind, Gabriela Casellato has gathered fundamental texts to better understand the subject. Divided into four parts - "GRIEF IN EARLY-LIFE LOSSES ", "GRIEF IN LOSSES BY NON-NORMATIVE LIFEE-COUSE TRANSITIONS", "Grief in Care Giving" and "Social Engagement: From Silence to Action" – this book also includes an afterword on the Covid-19 pandemic, which has swept the world and continues to devastate Brazil. Topics covered include: -Fraternal mourning, widowhood, and falling ill with cancer; -Grief faced by those outside of heteronormativity; -Mourning of women who fail to get pregnant; -Subjective and objective losses of immigrants; -Emotional difficulties of formal and informal caregivers and palliative care teams; -Grief of patients who lose their therapist; - Silenced grief of people in religious roles. "This new book edited by Gabriela Casellato is a great contribution to the subject of disenfranchised grief. This volume features chapters by psychologists specialized in the subject, as well as texts written by people who have lived through these losses. Casellato not only expands the dimensions of symbolic/ambiguous loss, but also applies the concept to the specifics of Brazilian culture, integrating theory and intervention. Mandatory work for psychologists, educators and all those who deal with losses without the support and validation they need." KENNETH J. DOKA PHD, author of Disenfranchised grief: new connections, challenges, and strategies for practice. "In her book, Disenfranchised Grief in Contemporary Society, Gabriela Casellato assembles a capable cast of contributors who ask the hard questions and offer authoritative answers regarding the marginalized, stigmatized or simply invisible losses that abound in human life, and that call for greater communal and societal recognition and support. More than simply sounding a call to consciousness, it stretches the boundaries of our understanding of disqualified, disenfranchised loss, whether it arises in connection with the death of a person, place, project or possibility that had once been life-defining. I recommend it to every professional seeking greater clarity, competence and compassion regarding the silent suffering of many of those they serve, and to every one of us who carry the private weight of our own hidden losses." ROBERT A. NEIMEYER, PhD, editor of New Techniques of Grief Therapy: Bereavement and Beyond, and Director, Portland Institute for Loss and Transition

This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El coronel Ildefonso Puigdengolas Ponce de León (1876-1936) fue un veterano que luchó en Cuba y Marruecos y desarrolló su historial en el Cuerpo de Seguridad, institución policial de la Segunda República. Bien considerado por los políticos republicanos, fue nombrado gobernador militar de Badajoz, ciudad que fue tomada por las fuerzas sublevadas. Las verdaderas circunstancias de la caída de Badajoz han estado ocultas hasta hace muy poco por la prensa-propaganda de la época, que escondió y deformó lo que realmente sucedió. Del máximo responsable militar de la defensa de Badajoz no sabíamos casi nada y muchos de los datos que circulaban sobre él eran difusos y contradictorios. Este libro aporta información nueva sobre su vida y su personalidad, pero también desmiente falsedades vertidas sobre este militar y el que fue el episodio más importante de su carrera.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research-based advice for people who care for someone with dementia Nearly half of U.S. citizens over the age of 85 are suffering from some kind of dementia and require care. Loving Someone Who Has Dementia is a new kind of caregiving book. It's not about the usual techniques, but about how to manage on-going stress and grief. The book is for caregivers, family members, friends, neighbors as well as educators and professionals—anyone touched by the epidemic of dementia. Dr. Boss helps caregivers find hope in "ambiguous loss"—having a loved one both here and not here, physically present but psychologically absent. Outlines seven guidelines to stay resilient while caring for someone who has dementia Discusses the meaning of relationships with individuals who are cognitively impaired and no longer as they used to be Offers approaches to understand and cope with the emotional strain of care-giving Boss's book builds on research and clinical experience, yet the material is presented as a conversation. She shows you a way to embrace rather than resist the ambiguity in your relationship with someone who has dementia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El reconocimiento que los territorios de la Corona de Aragón otorgaron al archiduque Carlos, derrotado en el conflicto sucesorio abierto tras la muerte de Carlos II, les supuso la pérdida de su secular singularidad política dentro de la monarquía hispánica tras la victoria de Felipe V. Dentro de este marco, este trabajo se sitúa por voluntad propia en Castellón, una ciudad media del reino valenciano, para comprobar cómo entendieron y vivieron el conflicto sus protagonistas. El libro amplía los conocimientos sobre cómo se vivió, desde el punto de vista de la institución municipal de una villa de la periferia, la muerte de Carlos II, y la proclamación de Felipe V, la guerra, la adhesión al archiduque Carlos, y tras la pérdida de la Guerra de Sucesión y con ella de los fueros, la asimilación de unas normes, las castellanes, de difícil encaje en general en todo el reino de Valencia.

Download or read book Immanent Visitor written by Jaime Saenz and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2002-10-30 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immanent Visitor is the first English-language translation of the work of Bolivia's greatest and most visionary twentieth-century poet. A poète maudit, Jaime Saenz rejected the conventions of polite society and became a monk in service of his own imagination. Apocalyptic and occult in his politics, a denizen of slum taverns, unashamedly bisexual, insistently nocturnal in his artistic affairs, and secretive in his leadership of a select group of writers, Saenz mixed the mystical and baroque with the fantastic, the psychological, and the symbolic. In masterly translations by two poet-translators, Kent Johnson and Forrest Gander, Saenz's strange, innovative, and wildly lyrical poems reveal a literary legacy of fierce compassion and solidarity with indigenous Bolivian cultures and with the destitute, the desperate, and the disenfranchised of that unreal city, La Paz. In long lines, in odes that name desire, with Whitmanesque anaphora, in exclamations and repetitions, Saenz addresses the reader, the beloved, and death in one extended lyrical gesture. The poems are brazenly affecting. Their semantic innovation is notable in the odd heterogeneity of formal and tonal structures that careen unabashedly between modes and moods; now archly lyrical, now arcanely symbolic, now colloquial, now trancelike. As Saenz's reputation continues to grow throughout the world, these inspired translations and the accompanying Spanish texts faithfully convey the poet's unique vision and voice to English-speaking readers.

Download or read book Grafitis written by Russi, Pedro and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El grafiti, como intervención, es una propuesta de comunicación, es decir, de relaciones sociales semióticas, al establecerse en la interacción con los signos. Constituye una cultura, significaciones de ser y estar en algún espacio que nos presenta y representa. Si comprendemos este quehacer urbano de este modo, ¿por qué no pensar los grafitis como una forma de educación sobre cómo tomar y reconfigurar los espacios de ese entorno denominado ciudad? Ahora bien, este libro no se propone ser moralista, no se basa en juicios de valor. Se trata de todo lo contrario. El objetivo de Grafiti: trazos de imaginación y espacios de encuentros es formular cuestiones que den pie a otras formas de conocer. No está enfocado a diagnosticar enfermedades juveniles, ni tampoco sociales.

Download or read book Tantra Iluminado written by Christopher D. Wallis and published by Mattamayura Press. This book was released on 2022-03-18 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tantra Iluminado gu&ía al lector a lo largo de un viaje fascinante hacia el coraz&ón mismo del Tantra: sus ense&ñanzas principales, los linajes que le dan fundamento y sus pr&ácticas transformativas. Desde que Occidente descubri&ó el Tantra hace 100 a&ños, este movimiento espiritual ha sido objeto de gran fascinaci&ón, especulaci&ón, y una buena dosis de desinformaci&ón. Ahora, por primera vez en nuestra lengua, Tantra Iluminado nos brinda una introducci&ón accesible a esta sagrada tradici&ón que naci&ó hace 1,500 a&ños en el norte de la India. Esta obra se sustenta en fuentes originales en s&ánscrito, ofrece una mirada profunda a la pr&áctica espiritual, y revela la rica historia del Tantra junto con sus poderosas ense&ñanzas.Entrar en el mundo del Tantra original es adentrarse en un reino de magia y misterio, en una filosof&ía que expande nuestra mente; llena de ritos arcanos; panteones de diosas feroces encarnadas en s&ílabas m&ísticas; diagramas energéticos que dibujan un mapa de las dimensiones de la realidad; visualizaciones de los centros de poder del cuerpo; posturas que expresan las formas m&ás puras de la conciencia; experiencias nect&áreas del éxtasis m&ás absoluto, portadoras un poder sobrenatural, y conceptos que desaf&ían las normas fundamentales de la sociedad tradicional. En pocas palabras, un mundo que abarca todo el rango de la actividad religiosa y espiritual del ser humano, desde las contemplaciones m&ás sublimes y elevadas de nuestra naturaleza interna, hasta las m&ás extra&ñas supersticiones. Hoy en d&ía, algunos est&án interesados en la elevada filosof&ía del Tantra, otros s&ólo quieren conocer las técnicas netamente pr&ácticas, mientras que a otros m&ás los mueve la curiosidad de conocer el contexto hist&órico. No importa quién seas, para sumergirte por completo en este mundo, deber&ás no nada m&ás renunciar a cualquier noci&ón de aquello que t&ú creas que es Tantra, sino también despojarte de algunas de tus creencias m&ás arraigadas sobre la realidad en s&í misma.
