Book excerpt: El libro que tienes en tus manos o en la pantalla de cualquier dispositivo tecnológico, es fruto del esfuerzo realizado por un grupo de profesores con la colaboración de otros profesionales en diferentes universidades y centros de estudios de veinticinco países. Su título es ya de por sí revelador: Trabajo Social en el Siglo XXI.Llama la atención la coordinación que han realizado las profesoras Concepción Nieto-Morales y Mónica Solange De Martino Bermúdez para lograr que los lectores/as conozcamos no solo los planes de estudios de Trabajo Social en cada uno de los países que aparecen, sino además el perfil del estudiantado y la identificación y reflexión sobre los desafíos que el siglo XXI coloca a la enseñanza de la profesión, además de otros elementos.Ser trabajador/a social en estos tiempos requiere de una concienciación previa antes de iniciar el largo camino que se inicia con la formación académica y termina con el trabajo diario vinculado a personas que necesitan ayudan; necesitan que les ayudemos a conquistar sus derechos. Hay algo más. Los problemas sociales a lo largo de los años parecen no cambiar de nombre: sin hogar; toxicómanos, menores….…pero debemos saber que la dinámica interna de estos grupos marginados si va evolucionando con el tiempo. Hay que actuar conforme a las situaciones de hoy, con esquemas de hoy, si no es así la esencia del trabajo social desaparecerá.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1968, these ten essays by one of Europe's leading sociological theorists deal with important issues on the borderline between sociology and social philosophy and demonstrate the author's deep insight into history and political analysis. The author maintains that the structures of power in which the political process takes place not only originate change and give it direction, but also produce the fertile conflicts that give expression to the fundamental uncertainty of human existence. Through an examination of various concepts inherent in this dynamic process - power, resistance, conflict, change, freedom, uncertainty - a coherent theory of society emerges.

Download or read book Trabajo social written by Alfredo Hidalgo Lavié and published by EDITORIAL SANZ Y TORRES S.L.. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este manual persigue como finalidad convertirse en el instrumento necesario para la formación de los trabajadores sociales en una perspectiva internacional. Como es habitual en nuestra Universidad (UNED) las asignaturas se apoyan en textos básicos que comprenden sus contenidos y por este propósito se ha realizado esta publicación, con el fin explícito de aunar los análisis de diferentes autores sobre el origen, desarrollo y evolución del Trabajo Social en sus respectivos países. Gracias a la colaboración del Consejo General de Trabajo Social de nuestro país y de la Federación Internacional de Trabajo Social de la región de Europa, Turquía e Israel hemos podido contar con autores de reconocida formación en nuestra disciplina para llevar a buen puerto este empeño. Varios son los Presidentes de las Asociaciones Nacionales que participan en esta obra en común. Todos ellos poseen una dilatada experiencia en el ejercicio profesional y algunos ejercen sus funciones hoy como docentes en la Universidad o en puestos de representación. La asignatura Trabajo Social en Perspectiva Comparada ofrece al estudiante una oportunidad para aproximarse a las realidades de la profesión de otros países. La evolución y desarrollo del Trabajo Social como profesión y como disciplina ha recorrido inevitablemente el mismo trayecto por el que la historia política de cada país ha atravesado, por tanto la historia, la economía, la sociedad, sus valores culturales y religiosos han marcado el destino de la profesión. Y estos mismos elementos que han contribuido a su identidad también presentan y dibujan en el horizonte sus principales desafíos y retos a los que tendrá que enfrentarse a lo largo de todo este siglo xxi. Es, por consiguiente, una gran ocasión para conocer a los pioneros de otros países, a los combates iniciales por el reconocimiento de la profesión, a la honda tradición desconocida de algunos de ellos, al nivel de desarrollo alcanzado en sus servicios sociales, en particular, y en el conjunto de sus políticas sociales a nivel estatal. Pero junto a este conocimiento y análisis, esta publicación ofrece al estudiante además introducirse en la apasionante polémica sobre el modelo de identidad que debe prevalecer en aras de garantizar su proyección de futuro. Trabajo Social posee un indiscutible origen como movimiento social, el de las reformadoras sociales, las cuales sentaron las bases de una organización social más justa y solidaria. Un camino que recorrieron en paralelo con la batalla por el espacio que consideraban propio como colectivo profesional, primero, y como disciplina después. Pero esta batalla última, lejos de haber finalizado, continúa nutriendo la cuestión ancestral sobre su propio ser como profesión. La identidad, siempre cuestionada, y siempre en el centro del debate, se ve afectada además hoy día por las consecuencias de una crisis económica y financiera de graves perversiones en el campo laboral. La figura del asistente social, como mero gestor de recursos y tareas puramente burocráticas, persiste en el consciente colectivo de gran parte de la sociedad, a pesar de los incuestionables avances realizados. A los trabajadores sociales les gusta que su actividad sea relacionada con determinados valores cuyo fundamento se encuentra en los derechos humanos. Muchas otras profesiones podrían también realizar esta misma afirmación. Sin embargo, no todas ellas atraviesan por el mismo circuito histórico sobre el cuestionamiento de su ser. Tal vez, porque la esencia de sus orígenes como movimiento social, su lucha reivindicativa, y a veces incluso política, sigue muy presente latiendo en cada profesional de la intervención. Quizá también esta actitud reivindicativa, al trascender ciertos parámetros ideológicos y políticos, contribuya a la desconfianza que suscita en el seno de las Ciencias Sociales. ¿Debe un profesional saltar a la escena política de la reivindicación? ¿Y este salto en cuál dirección ideológica debe hacerse sin asumir el riesgo de la politización de la propia actividad profesional? ¿Posee Trabajo Social una carga ideológica identificada que trasciende la defensa de los derechos reconocidos? Este es el debate al que se invita también al lector y al que los propios autores contribuyen con sus líneas. Recientemente, se han cumplido cien años de la publicación Diagnóstico Social de Mary Richmond, (1917). Todo un referente para ahondar en los contenidos de esta obra que tanto ha contribuido para sentar las bases del ejercicio de la profesión y desde la profesión misma. Toda una efeméride que invita traer del recuerdo esta cuestión central sobre las tendencias a propósito de la identidad.

Download or read book Transforming Modernity written by Néstor García Canclini and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is popular culture merely a process of creating, marketing, and consuming a final product, or is it an expression of the artist's surroundings and an attempt to alter them? Noted Argentine/Mexican anthropologist Néstor García Canclini addresses these questions and more in Transforming Modernity, a translation of Las culturas populares en el capitalismo. Based on fieldwork among the Purépecha of Michoacán, Mexico, some of the most talented artisans of the New World, the book is not so much a work of ethnography as of philosophy—a cultural critique of modernism. García Canclini delineates three interpretations of popular culture: spontaneous creation, which posits that artistic expression is the realization of beauty and knowledge; "memory for sale," which holds that original products are created for sale in the imposed capitalist system; and the tourist outlook, whereby collectibles are created to justify development and to provide insight into what capitalism has achieved. Transforming Modernity argues strongly for popular culture as an instrument of understanding, reproducing, and transforming the social system in order to elaborate and construct class hegemony and to reflect the unequal appropriation and distribution of cultural capital. With its wide scope, this book should appeal to readers within and well beyond anthropology—those interested in cultural theory, social thought, and Mesoamerican culture.

Download or read book The Extent of Poverty in Latin America written by Oscar Altimir and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work originated in a research project for the measurement and analysis of income distribution in the Latin American countries, undertaken jointly by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the World Bank. The present paper presents estimates of the extent of absolute poverty for ten Latin American countries and for the region as a whole in the 1970s, on the basis of available household surveys and population censuses. They are based on country-specific poverty lines representing minimum acceptable levels of private consumption, drawn according to a food-based method. Such poverty lines - ranging from 150 to 250 dollars of annual household consumption per capita - express a normative definition of the absolute dimensions of poverty, partly based on expert appraisals and partly reflecting the actual behavior of low income households facing the life style projected by Latin American development. According to these estimates, 40 percent of Latin American households were poor at the beginning of the 1970s, the incidence of poverty being 26 percent in urban areas and 60 percent in rural areas. Urban poverty extended to more than one-third of urban households in some countries (Brazil, Colombia, Honduras) while affecting between 20 and 30 percent in others (Peru, Mexico, Venezuela), about 15 percent in Costa Rica and Chile and less than 10 percent in Argentina and Uruguay. The extent of poverty in rural areas would not be less than 20 percent in any case and would reach more than 60 percent in some countries. The corresponding poverty gaps were also estimated; in terms of total household income, they may represent manageable proportions (around 2-3 percent) in the better-off countries, but are in the 4-8 percent range in the bigger countries of the region and reach as much as 12 percent in Peru and 17 percent in Honduras.
