Download or read book Nomadic Subjects written by Rosi Braidotti and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than fifteen years, Nomadic Subjects has guided discourse in continental philosophy and feminist theory, exploring the constitution of contemporary subjectivity, especially the concept of difference within European philosophy and political theory. Rosi Braidotti's creative style vividly renders a productive crisis of modernity. From a feminist perspective, she recasts embodiment, sexual difference, and complex concepts through relations to technology, historical events, and popular culture. This thoroughly revised and expanded edition retains all but two of Braidotti's original essays, including her investigations into epistemology's relation to the "woman question;" feminism and biomedical ethics; European feminism; and the possible relations between American feminism and European politics and philosophy. A new piece integrates Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the "becoming-minoritarian" more deeply into modern democratic thought, and a chapter on methodology explains Braidotti's methods while engaging with her critics. A new introduction muses on Braidotti's provocative legacy.

Download or read book A Gender based Approach to Parliamentary Discourse written by Catalina Fuentes Rodríguez and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does gender condition politicians’ discourse strategies in parliament? This is the question we try to answer in A Gender-based Approach to Parliamentary Discourse: The Andalusian Parliament. This book, written by experts in the field of discourse analysis, covers key aspects of political discourse such as gender, identity and verbal and nonverbal strategies: intensification, enumerative series, non-literal quotations, pseudo-desemantisation, lexical colloquialisation, emotion, eye contact and time management. It provides a large number of examples from a balanced gender parliament, the Andalusian Parliament, and it focuses mainly on argumentation, since parliamentary discourse is above all argumentative. This book will prove invaluable to students and teachers in the field of discourse analysis, and more specifically of political discourse, and will also be very useful to politicians and anyone interested in communication strategies. As of January 2019, this e-book is freely available, thanks to the support of libraries working with Knowledge Unlatched.

Bringing together pioneering and controversial scholarship from both the social and the biological sciences, as well as the humanities, this reader charts the evolution of debates on 'race' and 'mixed race' from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Igualdad de g nero y relaciones laborales entre la ley y la negociaci n colectiva written by Fernando Valdés Dal-Ré and published by Editorial Reus. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aun cuando la transversalidad constituye una de las señas de identidad de la Ley Orgánica 3/2007 sobre igualdad efectiva entre mujeres y hombres (LOI), los aspectos laborales en ella regulados ocupan una posición de centralidad, la cual se explica, entre otras, por las dos siguientes razones. De un lado, por la propia centralidad que, para el desarrollo del ser humano, tiene la actividad laboral en su condición de elemento básico de socialización. De otro, por la histórica y persistente discriminación que ha venido padeciendo y aún padece la mujer en el mercado de trabajo. La primera parte de la obra se centra en examinar la LOI desde los criterios metodológicos que ofrece la técnica legislativa. El ámbito de reflexión es, así pues, la LOI como conjunto ordenado y sistemático de normas, poniéndose de manifiesto cómo su contenido, funciones y técnicas de articulación han quedado fuertemente impregnados por el alto valor político asignado a los objetivos que se pretenden cumplir de reordenar, en un escenario social diferente, el papel de la mujer. Aclarado lo anterior, el grueso de la obra analiza el marco jurídico de la negociación colectiva, definiendo los espacios reguladores que la LOI confía a la autonomía colectiva, detectando las funciones y las disfunciones de la ordenación jurídica llevada a cabo, señaladamente en relación con los otros dos grandes cauces reguladores de las condiciones de trabajo (legislación y autonomía privada), e identificando, desde una perspectiva más general, los posibles efectos que esa ordenación puede producir pro futuro en la estructura del sistema español de negociación colectiva. El autor, Fernando Valdés Dal-Ré (Valladolid, 1945), Inspector de Trabajo en situación de excedencia, es Catedrático de Derecho del Trabajo y de la Seguridad Social de la UCM y Profesor Asociado de las Universidades de París X (Nanterre) y de Lyon 2 (Lumière).
