Download or read book Genocide Geopolitics and Transnational Networks written by Andrei Gomez-Suarez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume seeks to uncover and discuss the links between genocide, geopolitics and transnational networks. By studying the destruction of the Union Patrotica (UP) in Colombia - a process usually regarded as one of the extreme by-products of the Colombian armed conflict- through the lens of genocide studies, Gomez-Suarez challenges mainstream international relations, genocide and Colombian armed conflict studies. Moving beyond the analysis of the Colombian case, the book offers a broader interdisciplinary theoretical framework that also attends to transnational relations of perpetrators and resisters and the political economy of affective-dispositions for mapping genocidal conjuncture. Methodologically, the text aims to present a re-interpretation of what constitutes genocide beyond its legal definition and turn towards its political and ethical dimensions to create a conceptual framework in which genocide appears to turn ever more into a decentralized network of various actors that contributed to a genocidal mentality, which, ultimately, enable the destruction of the civil society networks. This work will be an important contribution to both the debates on genocide and international relations and the study of global connectivities.

Download or read book El Cuerpo un Espacio Pedag Gico written by Norma Delia Dur N. Amavizca and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los sistemas pedagógicos continúan en crisis. Una crisis humana que amenaza con nunca acabar. En esta obra, se argumenta, que una de las razones principales de las crisis educativas se debe a que los procesos pedagógicos han centrado la atención en el desarrollo cognoscitivo, principalmente, y han dejado de lado al cuerpo y sus emociones. La pedagogía de lo corporal propuesta por el Dr. Sergio López Ramos, muestra un camino esperanzador y encausa a la educación al aprendizaje por medio del cuerpo, concibiéndolo como un espacio en donde el individuo tiene posibilidades de construir nuevas formas de vivir en armonía consigo mismo y con los otros. Para que el ser humano alcance una mejor calidad de vida en esta época global y postmoderna. La autora incursiona en la pedagogía de lo corporal del Dr. López Ramos con la metodología de historia de las ideas y logra exponer la propuesta de abrigar una nueva epistemología del cuerpo y las emociones en los procesos educativos.
Download or read book Octavio Paz and T S Eliot written by Tom Boll and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When the sixteen-year-old Octavio Paz (1914-1998) discovered The Waste Land in Spanish translation, it 'opened the doors of modern poetry'. The influence of T S Eliot would accompany Paz throughout his career, defining many of his key poems and pronouncements. Yet Paz's attitude towards his precursor was ambivalent. Boll's study is the first to trace the history of Paz's engagement with Eliot in Latin American and Spanish periodicals of the 1930s and 40s. It reveals the fault lines that run through the work of the dominant figure in recent Mexican letters. By positioning Eliot in a Latin American context, it also offers new perspectives on one of the capital figures of Anglo-American modernism."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caminante – Wanderer is the story of loss and the struggle to recuperate that which is lost. We all make our own way in this world, and, as the poet Antonio Machado pointed out, the path is one we make as we travel. There is no specific way to make that journey, no guidebook. Each of us has our own struggles. Caminante – Wanderer is the story, in verse, of a journey. The book is divided into five sections. The first is Awakening, when the author felt the desire to try and recapture the native language that she felt she had lost. The second one is Sleeplessness, as she wondered how to go about it, followed by Memory, returning to her native country and language. Rescue deals with emerging solution to the dilemma, and finally, Forgetting, as once the conflict was resolved, it was forgotten.

Download or read book The Quest for God in the Work of Borges written by Annette U. Flynn and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that the quest for God, though largely unheeded by the critical canon, was a major and enduring preoccupation for Borges. This is shown through careful analysis both of his essays, with their emphasis on his philosophical-theological explorations, and of the narrative articulations which are his stories. It is in the poetry of his middle and closing years, however, that Borges' search is most manifest, as it is no longer obscured. Spanning different periods of his life, and different literary genres, Borges' work attests to a maturing and evolving quest. The book reveals Borges' engagement as an active and evolving process and its chronological structure allows the reader to trace his thought over time. Flynn shows that the spiritual component in Borges' writing drives key texts from the 1920s to the 1980s. Offering an interpretation that unlocks a fuller significance of his work, she shows how Borges' reflections on time and identity are symptomatic of a deeper, spiritual searching which can only be answered by a Divine Absolute.
Download or read book A City on a Lake written by Matthew Vitz and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A City on a Lake Matthew Vitz tracks the environmental and political history of Mexico City and explains its transformation from a forested, water-rich environment into a smog-infested megacity plagued by environmental problems and social inequality. Vitz shows how Mexico City's unequal urbanization and environmental decline stemmed from numerous scientific and social disputes over water policy, housing, forestry, and sanitary engineering. From the prerevolutionary efforts to create a hygienic city supportive of capitalist growth, through revolutionary demands for a more democratic distribution of resources, to the mid-twentieth-century emergence of a technocratic bureaucracy that served the interests of urban elites, Mexico City's environmental history helps us better understand how urban power has been exercised, reproduced, and challenged throughout Latin America.
