Download or read book Challenging the European Area of Lifelong Learning written by George K. Zarifis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically reflects on the context in which lifelong learning policies and practices are organized in Europe with contributions of researchers and policy makers in the field. Through a critical lens the book reinterprets the core content of the messages that are conveyed by the European Commission in the “Memorandum for Lifelong Learning”, the most important policy document in the area, which after a decade from its publication still remains the vehicle for all current developments in lifelong learning in Europe. With references to research findings, proposed actions, and applications to immediate practice that have an added value for Europeans –but which either do not appear to correspond directly to what is stipulated by the European Commission, or are completely ignored as part of the lifelong learning process– the book offers an analytic and systematic outlook of the main challenges in creating the ‘European Area of Lifelong Learning’. In times as decisive as the ones we are going through today (both in social and economic terms), a critical perspective of the practices and policies adopted by the EU Member States is essential. The book follows the same structure as the Memorandum in order to debate and critically approach in separate sections the core issues that Europe faces today in relation to the idea of making a ‘European area of Lifelong Learning’.
Download or read book Adam Smith written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Quién es Adam Smith? Un personaje influyente durante la Ilustración escocesa, Adam Smith fue un economista y filósofo escocés que fue pionero en el concepto de economía política. También fue un jugador importante durante todo el período. Sus dos publicaciones fundamentales, La teoría de los sentimientos morales (1759) y Una investigación sobre la naturaleza y las causas de la riqueza de las naciones (1776), le valieron el título de ""El padre de la economía"" o ""El padre del capitalismo"". por varias personas. Este último, que con frecuencia se abrevia como ""La riqueza de las naciones"", es ampliamente considerado como su mayor logro. También es el primer trabajo moderno que aborda la economía como un sistema integral y un campo académico. En lugar de intentar explicar la distribución de la riqueza y el poder en términos de la voluntad de Dios, Smith apela a variables naturales, políticas, sociales, económicas, legales, ambientales y tecnológicas, así como a las interacciones que ocurren entre estos aspectos. En este texto se presentaron varias ideas económicas diferentes, una de las cuales fue el concepto de ventaja absoluta de Smith.

Download or read book The Exform written by Nicolas Bourriaud and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author of the influential Relational Aesthetics examines the dynamics of ideology Leading theorist and art curator Nicolas Bourriaud tackles the excluded, the disposable and the nature of waste by looking to the future of art—the exform. He argues that the great theoretical battles to come will be fought in the realms of ideology, psychoanalysis and art. A “realist” theory and practice must begin by uncovering the mechanisms that create the distinctions between the productive and unproductive, product and waste, and the included and excluded. To do this we must go back to the towering theorist of ideology Louis Althusser and examine how ideology conditions political discourse in ways that normalize cultural, racial and economic practices of exclusion.
