This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este texto continúa una línea de investigación sobre igualdad iniciada hace algún tiempo y que precisamente parte de la preocupación por la falta de correspondencia entre los presupuestos igualitaristas de los derechos humanos y el resultado excluyente de su articulación jurídica.En torno al tópico derechos humanos y vulnerabilidad humana; cobra forma la idea de que junto con el modelo teórico tradicional es posible identificar un modelo contemporáneo que permitiría orientar los sistemas actuales de protección de los derechos humanos en un sentido más incluyente. En el período que conduce al presente texto, el objetivo ha sido indagar sobre en qué medida uno y otro modelo se corresponden con distintos puntos de partida a propósito de los rasgos que caracterizan la condición humana y en él se aventura una propuesta sobre la forma en que estos distintos puntos de partida se encuentran presentes en nuestra tradición de pensamiento.

Download or read book Side Dishes written by Melissa A Fitch and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-25 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving beyond the "main dishes" of traditional literary works, Side Dishes offers a provocative and delicious new understanding of Latin American women's authorship and activism. The book illuminates a wealth of creative and intellectual work by Latin American women—editors, directors, cartoonists, academics, performance artists, and comedians—and explores them in light of their treatment of women's sexuality. Side Dishes considers feminist pornography and literary representations of masturbation, bisexuality, lesbianism, and sexual fantasies; the treatment of lust in stand-up comedy and science fiction; critical issues in leading feminist journals; and portrayals of sexuality in four contemporary Latin American films. Melissa A. Fitch concludes with a look at the rise of women's and gender studies programs in Latin America.

Download or read book Political Science Research in Practice written by Akan Malici and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing rings truer to those teaching political science research methods: students hate taking this course. Tackle the challenge and turn the standard research methods teaching model on its head with Political Science Research in Practice. Akan Malici and Elizabeth Smith engage students first with pressing political questions and then demonstrate how a researcher has gone about answering them, walking through real political science research that contributors have conducted. Through the exemplary use of survey research, experiments, field research, case studies, content analysis, interviews, document analysis, statistical research, and formal modeling, each chapter introduces students to a method of empirical inquiry through a specific topic that will spark their interest and curiosity. Each chapter shows the process of developing a research question, how and why a particular method was used, and the rewards and challenges discovered along the way. Students can better appreciate why we need a science of politics--why methods matter--with these first-hand, issue-based discussions. The following features make this an ideal teaching tool: An introductory chapter that succinctly introduces key terms in research methodology Key terms bolded throughout and defined in a glossary Broad coverage of the most important methods used in political science research and the major subfields of the discipline A companion website designed to foster online active learning An instructor's manual and testbank to help incorporate this innovative text into your syllabus and assessment.
Download or read book Liberation Technology in El Salvador written by Summer Harlow and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ethnographic study explores how four alternative media projects in El Salvador integrated digital technologies—particularly social media—into their practices, and whether incorporating these technologies affected citizen participation not only in the media production process, but in a broader discursive sphere of civic and political life as well. Summer Harlow investigates the factors that influence the extent to which alternative media producers are able to use digital tools in liberating ways for social change by opening a space for participation in technology (as content producers) and through technology (as engaged citizens). The book advances existing literature with two main contributions: extending our understanding of the digital divide to include inequalities of social media use, and including technology use—whether liberating or not—as a fundamental component of a mestizaje approach to the study of alternative media.
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Translation Interpreting and Crisis written by Christophe Declercq and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook offers a broad-ranging overview of the study of translating and interpreting in conflict and crisis settings and takes the field in new directions. Covering a wide selection of multimodal contexts that build on the fundamentals of translation, interpreting, and their in-between hybrid forms of mediation, the handbook is divided into four parts. The opening part covers perspectives on policy and practices, whether contemporary or historical, and cases truly span the globe, from Peru and Brazil, over Belgium and Sierra Leone, to Australia, Japan, and Hong Kong. International developments require profound considerations about the professionalisation of access to language in times of crises, not least in contexts of humanitarian negotiation or conflict zone interpreting–these form the second part. The subsequent part deals with spheres of community in which language needs are positioned within frames of agency, positionality, and trust, and the challenges that these face. The contributions build on cases where interpreters act as catalysts for translation needs in settings of humanitarian aid and beyond. The final part considers language strategies and solutions in crises. This handbook is the essential guide to translation and interpreting in conflict and crisis settings for advanced students and researchers of translation and interpreting studies and will be of wide interest in peace studies, political science, and beyond.
Download or read book Decolonising Andean Identities written by Rebecca Irons and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decolonising Andean Identities presents ground-breaking work from scholars carrying out social science research in and from Andean Latin America. It addresses themes of central importance to contemporary perspectives on interdisciplinary gender studies and politics in societies undergoing significant social transformation. The collection aims to develop the field of decolonial gender studies by showcasing interdisciplinary work at the forefront of scholarship. It draws on international expertise through its diverse contributors, including predominately Latin American scholars. There is an urgent need to broaden the perspectives on gender and gender-based activism in Latin America beyond the Southern Cone and Mexico in order to bring the region as a whole into dialogue with global scholarship. The contributors use the term ‘Andinxs’ as a provocation to encourage scholars of the region to reconsider approaches the politics of gender, sexuality and (de)coloniality. By responding to the question, ‘Who are Andinxs (Andin-exs)?’ the collection interrogates the postcolonial, gendered and political subjectivities currently undergoing dramatic social change in Andean Latin America. Praise for Decolonising Andean Identities 'Decolonizing Andean Identities is a brilliant contribution to the scholarship of the Andean region that offers readers a new grammar for thinking about gender and feminist activism in a decolonial register. Irons and Martin introduce the term ‘Andinx’ as a critical reevaluation of ‘andeanism,’ pushing the boundaries of academic discourse to encompass the rich, multifaceted experiences of those living in the Andes today.' Julieta Chaparro-Buitrago, University of Cambridge 'This is a timely and inspirational collection that captures the power and potential of intersectional feminist activism in the Andes. Breaking new ground conceptually through the term Andinx, it also provides fascinating decolonial insights into gender, sexualities, indigeneity and feminism.' Cathy McIlwaine, King’s College London
Download or read book Migration and Integration Challenges of Muslim Immigrants in Europe written by Annemarie Profanter and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the impetus of globalization continues to gather pace, more and more people leave their homes pursuing dreams of a better life for themselves and their families. Muslim immigrants converging on Europe from widely divergent communities scattered throughout North Africa, the Middle East and South-East Asia, represent a great variety of local cultures and traditions. Trans-Mediterranean networks form the basis of migration routes and are key factors in the destinations of these migrants and in the overall process of immigration, be this towards Europe or other Muslim countries. South-North fluxes intertwine with South-South fluxes, among which the Gulf Arab countries stand out as a prime destination, not only for low-skilled labour. Different situations emerge, within a variegated discourse on co-existence, integration, assimilation and the preservation of identity. The adoption of this transnational dimension incorporating both destination, and points of origin, enables the investigation of migration to move beyond a purely Eurocentric approach. Thus, different national patterns are analyzed with a focus on a number of significant case-studies. By debating policies and cultural approaches the aim is to add innovative scholarship to the challenge of integration. Cross-cultural pluralism on the part of the nation states comprising the European Union is one avenue for moving the dialogue between different cultural frameworks towards a more compatible form.

Download or read book Against Racism written by Monica Moreno Figueroa and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powerful narratives often describe Latin American nations as fundamentally mestizo. These narratives have hampered the acknowledgment of racism in the region, but recent multiculturalist reforms have increased recognition of Black and Indigenous identities and cultures. Multiculturalism may focus on identity and visibility and address more casual and social forms of racism, but can also distract attention from structural racism and racialized inequality, and constrain larger antiracist initiatives. Additionally, multiple understandings of how racism and antiracism fit into projects of social transformation make racism a complex and multifaceted issue. The essays in Against Racism examine actors in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico that move beyond recognition politics to address structural inequalities and material conflicts and build common ground with other marginalized groups. The organizations in this study advocate an approach to deep social structural transformation that is inclusive, fosters alliances, and is inspired by a radical imagination.
