Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En el año 2008 una feroz crisis económica se desató sobre el mundo. Si bien su forma inicial fue la de una crisis financiera, sus efectos fueron permeando y causando estragos paulatinamente en todas y cada una de las geografías del mundo, en todas las economías, en todos los estratos sociales. En los años sucesivos, ciudadanos de toda condición hubieron de hacer frente a situaciones de escasez, desamparo y precariedad. Esta obra se propone retratar los efectos de la crisis –en sus planos económico, cultural, social y político– partiendo de aquellos que la sufrieron en primera persona. Para ello, construye un diálogo entre los afectados por la misma y los investigadores, los cuales dibujan, junto con el propio lector, no solo una imagen humana de la crisis y sus efectos sino también un retrato sociológico de la misma. José Luis Moreno Pestaña y Jorge Costa Delgado coordinan una original obra que evalúa, en primera persona, un paisaje de crisis que se ha instalado en nuestra cotidianidad.

This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La crisis que estamos sufriendo actualmente ha provocado una gran alarma social. Se puede decir que todo el mundo está preocupado por esta crisis, ya que sus consecuencias se están haciendo notar con fuerza y se teme que sean todavía más negativas en el inmediato futuro. De aquí que la misma suscite un gran interés, para ver si es posible saber cuáles son sus causas y, también, durante cuánto tiempo y cómo nos va a afectar. Pero las crisis son fenómenos habituales en el capitalismo. Unas son más graves e intensas que otras, pero las crisis son sucesos recurrentes en el sistema capitalista de organización económica y social. Esta crisis ni es la primera ni será la última. Si consideramos que el sistema capitalista se establece ya de una forma estable a lo largo del siglo XIX (1800-1900), aparecen crisis económicas ya desde el principio de dicho siglo. En el siglo XX hay crisis en 1918 y, sobre todo, en 1929 se inicia la gran crisis económica, la mayor conocida hasta ahora. Después de la II Guerra Mundial (1940-1944) hay un periodo de crecimiento (1945-1975), que es el más largo que ha existido sin crisis hasta ahora, pero en los años 1970s, cuando muchos analistas creían que ya se habían eliminado las crisis para siempre, surge con fuerza de nuevo la crisis. Es decir, en el capitalismo las crisis son inevitables.

Download or read book La crisis social de nuestro tiempo written by Wilhelm Röpke and published by . This book was released on 2010-04-16 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En La crisis social de nuestro tiempo el autor no sólo actúa como una suerte de gran notario que levanta acta de la situación de Occidente, sino que se implica de lleno en la solución de los problemas concretos. Röpke no se limita a expedir recetas económicas, sino que entiende que las causas de la crisis son más profundas y complejas, ya que atienden a desórdenes tanto morales como culturales. Profundo conocedor de la naturaleza humana y de las organizaciones sociales, desconfiaba de las simples recetas ideológicas, pues “las interpretaciones sencillas fracasan necesariamente”. De hecho, Röpke reclama la necesidad de una tercera vía “ni demasiado amplia ni demasiado estrecha” como propósito para “superar esa estéril alternativa entre laissez-faire y colectivismo”. Valedor de lo que se ha denominado como “milagro económico alemán” tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Röpke es una de las voces con mayor autoridad de todo el siglo XX. Conoció tiempos de esplendor y miseria, como las dos guerras mundiales y la profunda crisis económica posterior al Crack del 29. Este libro es fruto de su compromiso con la sociedad, que le llevó a realizar una penetrante reflexión sobre los males –sus causas, sus manifestaciones y sus consecuencias- en los que incurre el hombre contemporáneo; unos males que aún hoy padecemos, y que hacen de esta obra un escrito absolutamente actual.

This book was released on 2002-02-22 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about transvestism and the performance of gender in Latin American literature and culture. Ben. Sifuentes-Jáuregui explores the figure of the transvestite and his/her relation to the body through a series of canonical Latin American texts. By analyzing works by Alejo Carpentier, José Donoso, Severo Sarduy and Manuel Puig (author of Kiss of the Spiderwoma n), alongside critical works in gender studies and queer theory, Sifuentes-Jáuregui shows how transvestism operates not only to destabilize, but often to affirm sexual, gender, national and political identities.

Download or read book The Future of Development written by Gustavo Esteva and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2013-10-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 20, 1949 US President Harry S. Truman officially opened the era of development. On that day, over one half of the people of the world were defined as "underdeveloped" and they have stayed that way ever since. This book explains the origins of development and underdevelopment and shows how poorly we understand these two terms. It offers a new vision for development, demystifying the statistics that international organizations use to measure development and introducing the alternative concept of buen vivir: the state of living well. The authors argue that it is possible for everyone on the planet to live well, but only if we learn to live as communities rather than as individuals and to nurture our respective commons. Scholars and students of global development studies are well-aware that development is a difficult concept. This thought-provoking book offers them advice for the future of development studies and hope for the future of humankind.

Download or read book The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a deep Alternative written by Claudia von Werlhof and published by Beiträge zur Dissidenz. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of «Critical Theory of Patriarchy» explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have «replaced» matriarchies and nature itself by a «progressive» counter-world of «capital». This transformation characterizes «capitalist patriarchy» including «socialism». Its demise is due to the «alchemical» destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as «creation». This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new «military alchemy», treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the «Planetary Movement for Mother Earth».

Download or read book The Imperial Mode of Living written by Ulrich Brand and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Unsustainable Life: Why We Can't Have Everything We Want With the concept of the Imperial Mode of Living, Brand and Wissen highlight the fact that capitalism implies uneven development as well as a constant and accelerating universalisation of a Western mode of production and living. The logic of liberal markets since the 19thCentury, and especially since World War II, has been inscribed into everyday practices that are usually unconsciously reproduced. The authors show that they are a main driver of the ecological crisis and economic and political instability. The Imperial Mode of Living implies that people's everyday practices, including individual and societal orientations, as well as identities, rely heavily on the unlimited appropriation of resources; a disproportionate claim on global and local ecosystems and sinks; and cheap labour from elsewhere. This availability of commodities is largely organised through the world market, backed by military force and/or the asymmetric relations of forces as they have been inscribed in international institutions. Moreover, the Imperial Mode of Living implies asymmetrical social relations along class, gender and race within the respective countries. Here too, it is driven by the capitalist accumulation imperative, growth-oriented state policies and status consumption. The concrete production conditions of commodities are rendered invisible in the places where the commodities are consumed. The imperialist world order is normalized through the mode of production and living.

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 Configuring the New Lima Art Scene written by Giuliana Borea and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-01-24 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the contemporary art world in Latin America from an anthropological perspective and recognises the recent reconfiguration of Lima's art scene. Giuliana Borea traces the practices of artists, curators, collectors, art dealers and museums, identifying three key moments in this reconfiguration of contemporary art in Lima: artistic explorations and new curatorial narratives; museum reinforcement and the strengthening of Latin American art networks; and of the rise of the art market. In so doing, Borea highlights the different actors that come into play in activating and de-activating directions and imaginations. The book exposes the practices of the local, the global, indigeneity and politics in the arts, and reveals that the strengthening of the Lima art scene has fostered the expansion of dominant art views and formats mobilised by transnational elite actors. Featuring analytical chapters interspersed with personal stories, Borea's book presents an in-depth analysis of a specific art scene to open up a new way of understanding contemporary art practices in relation to globalisation, neoliberalism and the city.
