Download or read book Ciencia y Sociedad pinceladas written by Eduardo Vizcaya and published by CopIt ArXives. This book was released on 2013-12-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este libro se recogen las contribuciones de una constelación de autores que, desde su práctica científica cotidiana, han dedicado importantes esfuerzos para señalar y advertir, tanto a sus colegas de profesión como al público en general, sobre la naturaleza social de la ciencia y la responsabilidad social del científico. El quehacer científico no es ideologicamente neutro, nunca lo ha sido y nunca lo será. En los conceptos científicos que se desarrollan y construyen históricamente está embutida una visión social particular y una ideología llena de preconceptos. El científico promedio tiende a ignorar las consecuencias del tipo particular de ciencia que desarrolla. Este libro pretende advertir sobre algunos de los peligros que se derivan de ello, así como promover acciones coherentes con dichas reflexiones.
Download or read book El artista en el laboratorio written by Xavier Duran and published by Publicacions de la Universitat de València. This book was released on 2008 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art i ciència, que per a molta gent poden semblar dues activitats ben separades, han tingut i tenen molts punts en comú. Al llarg de la història, artistes i científics s’han proporcionat mútuament eines de treball, materials nous o motius d’inspiració. En aquesta obra, s’expliquen de manera amena i assequible temes com el descobriment de pigments nous gràcies a l’evolució de la química o les tècniques modernes que permeten conèixer molts detalls sobre obres pictòriques, estudiar estils i detectar fraus o datacions equivocades. A més a més, s’explora la visió del món que es desprèn de diverses obres a partir de la influència mútua entre l’art, d’una banda, i l’astronomia, la biologia, les matemàtiques o la física, de l’altra.

Download or read book Nation and Citizen in the Dominican Republic 1880 1916 written by Teresita Martínez-Vergne and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2006-05-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining intellectual and social history, Teresita Martinez-Vergne explores the processes by which people in the Dominican Republic began to hammer out a common sense of purpose and a modern national identity at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Hoping to build a nation of hardworking, peaceful, voting citizens, the Dominican intelligentsia impressed on the rest of society a discourse of modernity based on secular education, private property, modern agricultural techniques, and an open political process. Black immigrants, bourgeois women, and working-class men and women in the capital city of Santo Domingo and in the booming sugar town of San Pedro de Macoris, however, formed their own surprisingly modern notions of citizenship in daily interactions with city officials. Martinez-Vergne shows just how difficult it was to reconcile the lived realities of people of color, women, and the working poor with elite notions of citizenship, entitlement, and identity. She concludes that the urban setting, rather than defusing the impact of race, class, and gender within a collective sense of belonging, as intellectuals had envisioned, instead contributed to keeping these distinctions intact, thus limiting what could be considered Dominican.

Download or read book Medicine and International Relations in the Caribbean written by Rodrigo Fernos and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-02 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicine has long framed race relations in the Caribbean-that basin where African and European cultures have met from the beginning of the Colonial Period to the twentieth century. Whether Sir Hans Sloane, founder of the British Museum and President of the Royal Society of London, who as a physician wrote about African medical beliefs and practices, or Dr. Leonard Wood, military physician who served as military governor to Cuba, medicine and its practitioners have played a key role in the perception of the African Other. The book is a collection of essays treating the subject from various points of views. While it may perhaps not surprise the reader that colonial physicians often failed to acknowledge the same failings in their own Western medicine as that criticized of African practices, the medical view found later in the period lacked that biting racism of an earlier era.
