Download or read book Spanish Thinking about Animals written by Margarita Carretero-González and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional cultural practices involving animals are being seriously questioned, heavily regulated, and, in some cases, even abolished in Spain. This essential and timely text brings together prominent scholars working in the ever-expanding field of animal studies in Spain, drawing from a variety of disciplines within the humanities and social sciences to provide an interdisciplinary look at the animal question. In choosing an angle to approach the study of ethical, aesthetic considerations, and cultural representations of animals, this collection moves away from the ideology of human exceptionalism that is still predominant but progressively losing force in the field of animal ethics in Spain. It instead includes contributions by scholars who have chosen to look at animals, to a lesser or greater degree, through an antispeciesist lens, displaying the committed attention to and respect for animal life that characterizes critical animal studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El cordero al matadero Situada contra el teln de fondo del vvidamente descrito boxeo profesional, esta novela de Pete Delohery, curtida aunque magnficamente llena de garra, se centra en tres hombres cuyas vidas se encuentran en una encrucijada. Mike McGann tiene 32 aos, ya est viejo para ser boxeador y le ha prometido demasiadas veces a su esposa, Madge, que, definitivamente, este es su ltimo combate. Por eso, cuando ella se entera de que planea pelear contra Rufus Hilliard, apodado Huracn por la fuerza de sus puetazos, Madge se marcha. El boxeo fue para Rufus el modo de huir de los barrios bajos de Brooklyn; aunque su corrupto representante lo hace actuar como un matn amenazador frente a los medios, l es mucho ms inteligente; sospecha que le han tendido una trampa para que pierda la pelea contra McGann. Est en lo cierto: un repugnante mafioso conocido como El Gordo est presionando al ayudante del preparador, Charlie OConell, un apostador y alcohlico empedernido, para que adultere el agua de Rufus y este quede incapacitado. Lo har Charlie? Qu ganar en el cuadriltero: la experiencia de Mike o la fuerza bruta de Rufus? Las respuestas no son tan importantes como los retratos conmovedores que crea Delohery de tres hombres, todos lastimados por un mundo cruel, quienes huyen de sus demonios personales hacia la nica redencin imperfecta que tienen a su alcance: la victoria en una pelea. El autor hace un trabajo excelente al describir los pros y los contras del boxeo, al confrontar la estremecedora declaracin de un mdico acerca del porcentaje de luchadores que sufren de dao cerebral mensurable (muy elevado) con la elocuencia simple de un luchador joven que dice: El buen doctor nunca conoci la pesadilla de la pobreza y ruego que nunca tenga que conocer lo que significa no tener un lugar donde estar parado, ser menos que un hombre. (Algunos de los puntos suspensivos del autor se han eliminado en la oracin anterior; a los comentarios los pronuncia un intrprete que titubea mientras traduce la declaracin del luchador). El final es tremendamente repentino y la venganza de Charlie al Gordo es tan desagradable como inverosmil, pero esta historia sincera provoca un fuerte impacto emocional. Tambin disponible en edicin de tapa dura y libro electrnico.

Presentations at the conference covered a diversity of subjects, including the historic traditions of earthen architecture, conservation and restoration, site preservation, studies in consolidation and seismic mitigation, and examinations of moisture problems, clay chemistry, and microstructures. In discussions that focused on the future, the application of modern technologies and materials to site conservation was urged, as was using scientific knowledge of existing structures in the creation of new, low-cost, earthen architecture housing.
Download or read book Germanofilia Origen estado de la cuesti n y perspectivas written by Luis Alberto Lugo Amador and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-11-28 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La germanofilia se define como la admiración excesiva por la cultura alemana y por los logros "positivos" de los alemanes como colectivo histórico. Desafortunadamente, a lo largo del siglo XX la germanofilia tuvo muy mala prensa, por razones que tienen que ver con las dos guerras mundiales (especialmente la segunda). Este libro pretende explicar el origen y desarrollo de la germanofilia, así como resaltar las razones por las cuales la misma debe recuperar su sitial como culturofilia respetable. En un mundo en el que las culturas nacionales parecen tambalearse, las culturofilias podrían operar como un fundamento importante de lo nacional, independientemente de que se encuentren vinculadas a actitudes registradas fuera del espacio nacional/cultural que las define. En ese sentido, la germanofilia y las demás culturofilias podrían insertarse cómodamente dentro de los esquemas globalizantes del siglo XXI.

Download or read book Without Criteria written by Steven Shaviro and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Deleuzian reading of Whitehead and a Whiteheadian reading of Deleuze open the possibility of a critical aesthetics of contemporary culture. In Without Criteria, Steven Shaviro proposes and explores a philosophical fantasy: imagine a world in which Alfred North Whitehead takes the place of Martin Heidegger. What if Whitehead, instead of Heidegger, had set the agenda for postmodern thought? Heidegger asks, “Why is there something, rather than nothing?” Whitehead asks, “How is it that there is always something new?” In a world where everything from popular music to DNA is being sampled and recombined, argues Shaviro, Whitehead's question is the truly urgent one. Without Criteria is Shaviro's experiment in rethinking postmodern theory, especially the theory of aesthetics, from a point of view that hearkens back to Whitehead rather than Heidegger. In working through the ideas of Whitehead and Deleuze, Shaviro also appeals to Kant, arguing that certain aspects of Kant's thought pave the way for the philosophical “constructivism” embraced by both Whitehead and Deleuze. Kant, Whitehead, and Deleuze are not commonly grouped together, but the juxtaposition of them in Without Criteria helps to shed light on a variety of issues that are of concern to contemporary art and media practices.

Download or read book Animals Property The Law written by Gary Francione and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1995-04-28 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pain is pain, irrespective of the race, sex, or species of the victim," states William Kunstler in his foreword. This moral concern for the suffering of animals and their legal status is the basis for Gary L. Francione's profound book, which asks, Why has the law failed to protect animals from exploitation? Francione argues that the current legal standard of animal welfare does not and cannot establish fights for animals. As long as they are viewed as property, animals will be subject to suffering for the social and economic benefit of human beings. Exploring every facet of this heated issue, Francione discusses the history of the treatment of animals, anticruelty statutes, vivisection, the Federal Animal Welfare Act, and specific cases such as the controversial injury of anaesthetized baboons at the University of Pennsylvania. He thoroughly documents the paradoxical gap between our professed concern with humane treatment of animals and the overriding practice of abuse permitted by U.S. law.

Download or read book A Fragile Life written by Todd May and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-03 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is perhaps our noblest cause, and certainly one of our oldest: to end suffering. Think of the Buddha, Chuang Tzu, or Marcus Aurelius: stoically composed figures impervious to the torments of the wider world, living their lives in complete serenity—and teaching us how to do the same. After all, isn’t a life free from suffering the ideal? Isn’t it what so many of us seek? Absolutely not, argues Todd May in this provocative but compassionate book. In a moving examination of life and the trials that beset it, he shows that our fragility, our ability to suffer, is actually one of the most important aspects of our humanity. May starts with a simple but hard truth: suffering is inevitable. At the most basic level, we suffer physically—a sprained ankle or a bad back. But we also suffer insults and indifference. We suffer from overburdened schedules and unforeseen circumstances, from moral dilemmas and emotional heartaches. Even just thinking about our own mortality—the fact that we only live one life—can lead us to tremendous suffering. No wonder philosophies such as Buddhism, Taosim, Stoicism, and even Epicureanism—all of which counsel us to rise above these plights—have had appeal over the centuries. May highlights the tremendous value of these philosophies and the ways they can guide us toward better lives, but he also exposes a major drawback to their tenets: such invulnerability is too emotionally disengaged from the world, leading us to place too great a distance between ourselves and our experience. Rather than seeking absolute immunity, he argues most of us just want to hurt less and learn how to embrace and accept what suffering we do endure in a meaningful way. Offering a guide on how to positively engage suffering, May ultimately lays out a new way of thinking about how we exist in the world, one that reassures us that our suffering, rather than a failure of physical or psychological resilience, is a powerful and essential part of life itself.
