Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En contraste con el escepticismo y el relativismo radicalizados que caracterizan nuestra época, los autores defienden la tesis de que las ciencias, tanto las que procuran desentrañar los misterios de la naturaleza como las que profundizan el conocimiento de los fenómenos sociales, pueden alcanzar un grado razonable de objetividad porque están sujetas, en última instancia, al control empírico. Sin ignorar las objeciones que merecieron los intentos de demarcar con precisión el territorio de la ciencia, rechazan la conclusión de que el conocimiento científico no pueda diferenciarse en absoluto de cualquier otro tipo de creencias. Conforme a esta convicción, en las páginas de este libro se recorren los esfuerzos dirigidos a la creación y a la consolidación metodológica de las ciencias sociales. Como si el estado de cosas que supuestamente constituía su objeto de estudio se hubiera reflejado en la propia disciplina, la sociología y, con ella, las demás ciencias sociales se han visto envueltas en una situación crítica a lo largo de toda su historia, en un continuo debate sobre su propia legitimidad. Los autores intervienen en esta discusión y examinan la fuerza de los argumentos que se han empleado para subrayar las diferencias que separan las ciencias sociales de las naturales. Confían en que las consideraciones sobre la especificidad de los fenómenos sociales –sobre si el enfoque correcto es el holismo o el individualismo, sobre si la historia humana está dotada de un sentido o no, sobre si lo único que importa es la estructura, sobre si el poder es intrínsecamente negativo y tantas otras cuestiones sin duda inquietantes– se lleguen a integrar finalmente en un sistema de conocimientos más sólidos, mejor compartidos y seguramente más fructíferos, acerca de la realidad social.

Download or read book Family Farms and the Conservation of Agrobiodiversity in Cuba written by Urbano Fra Paleo and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly original volume investigates and documents the complex interactions between small family farms and Man and Biosphere Reserves in Cuba. Covering over two decades of research in agriculture and biodiversity conservation in Cuba, this book provides a unique case study about sustainable agriculture. It shows how the agricultural biodiversity maintained in situ by family farms within those protected areas provides a strategic source of crop genetic resources, including seeds and planting materials, as well as agroecological knowledge and practices. Agricultural practices within and around the Biosphere Reserves have helped to promote local food security through healthier and more diverse food production, while contributing to the conservation of biodiversity and of ecosystems. The book also reports on the adoption of transdisciplinary methods, combining ecological, agronomic, and socio-economic research, along with participatory methods involving farmers in research to document ethnobotanical and farmer knowledge, revealing rich spots of agrobiodiversity maintained in landscapes, seed systems, and nurseries managed by farmers. It covers a range of ecosystems and biocultural landscapes from arid tropics, tropical hillsides and savannas, montane rainforests, and coastal areas. It examines how family farms in diverse Cuban ecosystems use biodiversity, agro-ecological knowledge, and techniques while sustaining natural and farming landscapes in a scenario of climate change, frequent disasters, and socio-economic and policy changes. This book will be most suitable for those studying or interested in farming practices, biodiversity conservation, food security, agrobiodiversity, and sustainable development, as well as in Cuban studies.
Download or read book The Limits of Economic Reform in El Salvador written by W. Pelupessy and published by Springer. This book was released on 1997-09-22 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Salvador is a small developing country that has undergone important processes of agrarian change and suffered the consequences of a 12-year civil war which ended with a peace agreement in the 1990s. Economic reforms have given insufficient weight to history, institutions and politics. This book will show that to improve their efficiency, there is a need to consider how both economic and political variables have affected social structures and institutions. To be sustainable reforms should aim at an appropriate balance between growth and distribution. The outcomes of this research question some commonly accepted theses on agrarian transformation, state autonomy and the role of economic policy and foreign intervention in El Salvador and Central America in general.

Book excerpt: Nuestra segunda vida en el mundo digital, la comida genéticamente modificada, las prótesis de nueva generación y las tecnologías reproductivas son aspectos ya familiares de la condición posthumana. Ya que se han borrado las fronteras entre aquello que es humano y aquello que no lo es, poniendo en evidencia la base no natural del ser humano actual. Desde el punto de vista de la Filosofía y la Teoría Política, urge actualizar las definiciones de identidad y los fenómenos sociales a raíz de este salto. Con un simple análisis se verá que después de haber constatado el fin del Humanismo, es preciso ver en esta transformación las malas intenciones de una colonización de la vida por parte de los mercados y su lógica del beneficio. Es preciso, pues, adecuar la teoría a los cambios en curso, sin añoranzas por una humanidad ahora perdida y cogiendo las oportunidades ofrecidas por las formas de Neohumanismo que nacen de los movimientos medio ambientales y de los Estudios de Género y Postcoloniales.
