Download or read book The Fear of Robachicos in Mexico written by Susana Sosenski and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-08-08 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil society organizations report that fourteen children disappear every day in Mexico. This book studies the origins of this social phenomenon and its consequences, not only in the emotional sphere, but also in how children have been treated. Focusing on children's special positions within Mexican society rather than criminal acts or the implementation of the law, Sosenski links social and cultural history, the history of crime and fear, the application of justice and the media's role, childhood and the city to paint a multi-dimensional picture of child abduction and its causes. Exploring the social impact of child protection policies and the figure of the robachicos, or child kidnapper, Soneski draws from oral traditions, films and books, songs and plays; all of which embody a culture of fear and danger reported and accentuated by a mass media response. The Fear of Robachicos in Mexico focuses on the role of the media and entertainment in the legitimization of violence toward children and the objectification of their lives, stripping them of their right to freedom and curtailing their autonomy.

Download or read book Temporary Appropriation in Cities written by Alessandro Melis and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book conceptualises and illustrates temporary appropriation as an urban phenomenon, exploring its contributions to citizenship, urban social sustainability and urban health. It explains how some forms of appropriation can be subversive, existing in a grey area between legal and illegal activities in the city. The book explores the complex and the multi-scalar nature of temporary appropriation, and touches on its relationship to issues such as: sustainability and building re-use; culture; inclusivity, including socio-spatial inclusion; streetscape design; homelessness; and regulations controlling the use of public spaces. The book focuses on temporary appropriation as a necessity of adapting human needs in a city, highlighting the flexibility that is needed within urban planning and the further research that should be undertaken in this area. The book utilises case studies of Auckland, Algiers and Mexico City, and other cities with diverse cultural and historical backgrounds, to explore how planning, design and development can occur whilst maintaining community diversity and resilience. Since urban populations are certain to grow further, this is a key topic for understanding urban dynamics, and this book will be of interest to academics and practitioners alike.
Download or read book Urbicide written by Fernando Carrión Mena and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses the reflection of academics specialized in the urban area of Latin America, Europe and the United States, to initiate a comparative debate of the different dynamics in which Urbicidio expresses itself. The field or focal point of analysis that this publication approaches is the city, but under a new critical perspective of inverse methodology to that has been traditional used. It is about understanding the structural causes of self-destruction to finally thinking better and then going from pessimism to optimism. It is a deep look at the city from an unconventional entrance, because it is about knowing and analyzing what the city loses by the action deployed by own urbanites, both in the field of its production and in the field of its consumption. This suppose that the city does not have an ascending linear sequential evolution in its development but neither in each of its parts in the improvement process, showing the face that commonly not seen but others live. The category used for this purpose is that of Urbicidio or the death of the city, which contributes theoretically and methodologically to the knowledge of the city, as well as to the design of urban policies that neutralize it. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the book has an inclusive view of the authors. For this reason, gender parity, territorial representation and the presence of age groups have been sought.
Download or read book Espacio p blico y reconstrucci n de ciudadan a written by Patricia Ramírez Kuri and published by Flacso México, M.A. Porrúa. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pensar la ciudad desde el marco conceptual del espacio público y redefinir el concepto de espacio público desde nuestras ciudades, tal es la propuesta del libro. Ello obliga a los autores aquí reunidos a aventurarse simultáneamente en el terreno de las precisiones teóricas y en el de los análisis de casos, a trabajar con conceptos y con actores, con espacios imaginarios y con espacios territorialmente delimitados. A mostrar, a través de diversas experiencias urbanas (los condominios, los comités vecinales, el diseño urbano, las ONG citadinas, los servicios de salud) cómo transcurre la vida pública en las megaciudades contemporáneas; y cómo en el encuentro en esos espacios, ciudadanos, autoridades, expertos, y movimientos sociales pugnan por redefinir, en cada caso, los límites entre lo público y lo privado.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El trabajo de autores europeos y americanos provenientes de un largo número de disciplinas (urbanística, antropología, sociología, historia, derecho, geografía y arquitectura) confluye en este libro que aborda la cuestión del espacio público desde una perspectiva que podríamos calificar de ética: la preocupación por el devenir actual y las perspectivas de futuro de ese bien común que, como sostiene Henri Lefebvre, es esencia misma de la ciudad.Tomando como punto de partida esta concepción lefebvriana del espacio público, resultaba especialmente oportuno no ceñirse a un ámbito geográfico ni disciplinar. De ahí la pluralidad de voces y experiencias que se recogen en este libro en un intento de reflexión trasatlántica que navega entre la ciudad y sus espacios públicos, entre el presente y el futuro imaginado.Esta opción encierra algunos desafíos. En un mismo volumen se reúnen reflexiones referidas a ciudades europeas y americanas que no comparten la misma historia, ni la misma realidad física, política, económica y social; ciudades que además son vistas (vividas y pensadas) con diferentes miradas -con perspectivas distintas- sobre esa realidad poliédrica que es lo público de la ciudad, desde el espacio físico a la fiesta. En este sentido, la obra que se presenta aquí es un compendio de diversidades y complementariedades con algún conflicto o contradicción, como lo es el propio espacio público. Probablemente, ahí radique el valor pero también la desafiante complejidad del 'espacio público en la ciudad contemporánea'.

Download or read book Urban Social Sustainability written by M. Reza Shirazi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground breaking volume raises radical critiques and proposes innovative solutions for social sustainability in the built environment. Urban Social Sustainability provides an in-depth insight into the discourse and argues that every urban intervention has a social sustainability dimension that needs to be taken into consideration, and incorporated into a comprehensive and cohesive ‘urban agenda’ that is built on three principles of recognition, integration, and monitoring. This should be achieved through a dialogical and reflexive process of decision-making. To achieve sustainable communities, social sustainability should form the basis of a constructive dialogue and be interlinked with other areas of sustainable development. This book underlines the urgency of approaching social sustainability as an urban agenda and goes on to make suggestions about its formulation. Urban Social Sustainability consists of original contributions from academics and experts within the field and explores the significance of social sustainability from different perspectives. Areas covered include urban policy, transportation and mobility, urban space and architectural form, housing, urban heritage, neighbourhood development, and urban governance. Drawing on case studies from a number of countries and world regions the book presents a multifaceted and interdisciplinary understanding from social sustainability in urban settings, and provides practitioners and policy makers with innovative recommendations to achieve more socially sustainable urban environment.
