Download or read book Retos en materia de igualdad de g nero en el siglo XXI Un an lisis multidisciplinar written by Alejandra Selma Penalva and published by Midac, SL. This book was released on 2019-02-25 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aunque en los últimos años se ha avanzado mucho en la consecución de la igualdad de género, todavía queda mucho camino por recorrer al respecto. A estos efectos, resultaba esencial que, en una sólo obra, se pusieran de manifiesto distintos problemas y obstáculos prácticos que, pese a los esfuerzos realizados, todavía dificultan la plena consecución de la igualdad de género. Sin duda, no se trata éste de un tema cerrado, sino sólo de una primera aproximación aparte de los muchos aspectos que todavía hoy impiden alcanzar una plena igualdad de género en la sociedad del siglo XXI. Con el fin de que esta obra colectiva cumpla la finalidad de realizar propuestas claras y concretas, se ha estructurado en forma de colaboraciones de corta dimensión que aporten, de forma rápida y concisa, una visión de conjunto y permitan reflexionar sobre aspectos de variada tipología que, todavía hoy, de forma directa o indirecta, siguen influyendo sobre la igualdad de género.De esta manera, la educación, la historia, la sociología, la antropología, la medicina, la psicología, el derecho, la literatura, el cine y los medios de comunicación, se unen, de forma coordinada y estructurada, para ofrecer una visión global de los distintos aspectos pendientes de respuesta en relación con la igualdad efectiva entre mujeres y hombres. Y es que, tal y como la realidad se ocupa cada día de demostrar, sólo abordando el problema desde un punto de vista multidisciplinar se podrá avanzar hacia la plena consecución del objetivo deseado, pues las iniciativas puntuales y aisladas suelen ser infructuosas. En resumen, con los distintos estudios que integran esta obra colectiva, se ha querido poner de manifiesto que lograr una transformación social requiere emprender simultáneamente un cambio cultural, legal y educativo importante, sin el cual, la plena igualdad de género será sólo una utopía.
Download or read book Women in the Ancient World written by John Peradotto and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1987-04-15 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the reasons for the study of the Greek and Roman classics is their perpetual relevance. In no area can this position be more clearly defended than in the investigation of the feminine condition, for it was here that basic attitudes derogatory to the sex were molded by legal and social systems, by philosophers and poets, and by the thinking of men long since gone. Women in the Ancient World brings together essays that examine philosophy, social history, literature, and art, and that extend from the early Greek period through the Roman Empire. Their wide range of critical perspectives throws new light on the personal, political, socio-economic, and cultural position of women.
Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Download or read book The Murder of Regilla written by Sarah B. Pomeroy and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-25 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From an acclaimed author comes a fascinating story of the life, marriage, and death of an all but forgotten Roman woman. Born to an illustrious Roman family in 125 CE, Regilla was married at the age of fifteen to Herodes, a wealthy Greek who championed his country's values at a time when Rome ruled. Twenty years later--and eight months pregnant with her sixth child--Regilla died under mysterious circumstances, after a blow to the abdomen delivered by Herodes' freedman. Regilla's brother charged Herodes with murder, but a Roman court (at the urging of Marcus Aurelius) acquitted him. Sarah Pomeroy's investigation suggests that despite Herodes' erection of numerous monuments to his deceased wife, he was in fact guilty of the crime. A pioneer in the study of ancient women, Pomeroy gathers a broad, unique array of evidence, from political and family history to Greco-Roman writings and archaeology, to re-create the life and death of Regilla. Teasing out the tensions of class, gender, and ethnicity that gird this story of marriage and murder, Pomeroy exposes the intimate life and tragedy of an elite Roman couple. Part archaeological investigation, part historical re-creation, and part detective story, The Murder of Regilla will appeal to all those interested in the private lives of the classical world and in a universal and compelling story of women and family in the distant past.

Download or read book Engaging People in Sustainability written by Daniella Tilbury and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

Download or read book Women and the Limits of Citizenship in the French Revolution written by Olwen Hufton and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1999-04-14 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French masses overwhelmingly supported the Revolution in 1789. Economic hardship, hunger, and debt combined to put them solidly behind the leaders. But between the people's expectations and the politicians' interpretation of what was needed to construct a new state lay a vast chasm. Olwen H. Hufton explores the responses of two groups of working women – those in rural areas and those in Paris – to the revolution's aftermath. Women were denied citizenship in the new state, but they were not apolitical. In Paris, collective female activity promoted a controlled economy as women struggled to secure an adequate supply of bread at a reasonable price. Rural women engaged in collective confrontation to undermine government religious policy which was destroying the networks of traditional Catholic charity. Hufton examines the motivations of these two groups, the strategies they used to advance their respective causes, and the bitter misogyinistic legacy of the republican tradition which persisted into the twentieth century.
