Book La desigualdad mata

Download or read book La desigualdad mata written by Göran Therborn and published by Alianza Editorial. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La desigualdad es una violación de la dignidad humana. Puede adoptar múltiples formas y tiene múltiples consecuencias: muerte prematura, mala salud, humillación, subyugación, discriminación, exclusión del conocimiento o de la vida social, pobreza, inseguridad. La desigualdad, por tanto, no es exclusivamente una cuestión de dinero. Es un orden sociocultural que reduce nuestra capacidad para funcionar como seres humanos, nuestra salud, nuestra autoestima y nuestros recursos para actuar y participar en el mundo. En efecto, la desigualdad mata, y no sólo en el mundo pobre, como muestra Therborn. Utilizando una perspectiva histórica y multidimensional, examina los mecanismos a través de los que se producen las desigualdades y, por último, identifica momentos y procesos históricos de igualación, así como posibles vías para promover la igualdad en el futuro.

Book Southernising Criminology

Download or read book Southernising Criminology written by Luiz Dal Santo and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the ‘Southern criminology’ movement; explores its theoretical, methodological, and philosophical tools; offers analytical accounts on the development of criminological thoughts in marginalised regions; and showcases the cutting edge of criminological research from Southern settings. Southernising Criminology is structured into three parts. The first part provides theoretical and methodological insights into how criminology can be Southernised, including renowned social scientists who share concerns for the need to reconceptualise the centre, the periphery, and their relations. The second part brings the reader up-to-date with the state of criminological research in different parts of the world and how far this landscape has changed when introducing Southern perspectives. The third part shows first-hand examples of how Southern criminology is done, with its challenges and transformative potential for criminological knowledge. Bringing together contributions from leading scholars working across the five continents and drawing on issues such as state criminality, violent crime, criminal justice practices, and state and non-state punishment, this book offers a critical account of the problems of metropolitan thinking, colonial and imperial power relations, and Western ethnocentric approaches to criminology. It offers a nuanced and grounded reflection on how things are being done differently and why that is important. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, politics, and policy makers from around the world who are interested in the field of criminology and are aware of the urgent need for it to be decolonised and democratised.

Book Itinerant Curriculum Theory

Download or read book Itinerant Curriculum Theory written by João M. Paraskeva and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-06-27 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advances new ways of thinking about emergence and impact of Itinerant Curriculum Theory (ICT). Written by authors based in Algeria, Brazil, Chile, China, Estonia, South Korea, Spain and the USA, the chapters examine the opportunities and challenges paved by ICT in the struggle to open up and decolonize curriculum policies. The contributors show how ICT can help us to pave a new way to think about and to do curriculum theory and announce ICT as a declaration of epistemological liberation, one that helps to resist Eurocentric dominance. The chapters cover topics including, ecologies of the Global South, education discourse in South Korea, China's Curriculum Reform, and the history of colonialism in the Middle East. Building on the work of Antonia Darder, Boaventura de Sousa Santos and others, this book posits that the future of the field is the struggle against curriculum epistemicides and this is ultimately a struggle for social justice. The book includes a Foreword by the leading curriculum historian William Schubert, Professor Emeritus of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Illinois at Chicago, USA.

Book Resiliencia  gesti  n del naufragio

Download or read book Resiliencia gesti n del naufragio written by Pilar Gómez-Acebo and published by Editorial Almuzara. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superar la adversidad es la asignatura pendiente del siglo XXI. Todos a lo largo de nuestra vida nos enfrentaremos a situaciones traumáticas ¿Cómo afrontarlas en positivo? ¿Cómo desarrollar una respuesta resiliente? Las personas entrevistadas en este libro constituyen la mejor demostración de cómo se puede gestionar el naufragio. Todos ellos han pasado por difíciles tempestades que la vida les ha presentado pero ninguno ha naufragado. En unos casos han superado duros procesos de enfermedad y en otros afrontado la muerte de un ser querido o se han enfrentado a momentos críticos en los que o bien salían adelante o bien perdían todo lo que hasta ese momento habían conseguido. Se trata de Larry Bensadon, Anna Ferrer, Ángel García, Rosa García, Jesús Hernández, Helena Herrero, Jesús Higueras, Sandra Ibarra, Miguel Ángel Jiménez, Pilar Muro, Sara Navarro, Carlos Pauner, Teresa Silva y Enrique Varela. Resiliencia. Gestión del naufragio ofrece una guía para sobreponernos a las dificultades, aprender de nuestros errores, superar los obstáculos y salir fortalecidos de nuestras propias experiencias. El desarrollo de la resiliencia aporta una nueva mirada esperanzadora y positiva. Y es que, como dicen los cinco autores, «los tiempos que vivimos son para las personas resilientes. No son las políticas las que nos van a sacar de la situación actual, sino aquellos que sean capaces de estar por encima de la crisis. La causa es humana y no económica, y la solución también».

Book Living with Algorithms

Download or read book Living with Algorithms written by Ignacio Siles and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nuanced account from a user perspective of what it’s like to live in a datafied world. We live in a media-saturated society that increasingly transforms our experiences, relations, and identities into data others can analyze and monetize. Algorithms are key to this process, surveilling our most mundane practices, and to many, their control over our lives seems absolute. In Living with Algorithms, Ignacio Siles critically challenges this view by surveying user dynamics in the global south across three algorithmic platforms—Netflix, Spotify, and TikTok—and finds, surprisingly, a more balanced relationship. Drawing on a wealth of empirical evidence that privileges the user over the corporate, Siles examines the personal relationships that have formed between users and algorithms as Latin Americans have integrated these systems into the structures of everyday life, enacted them ritually, participated in public with and through them, and thwarted them. Sometimes users follow algorithms, Siles finds, and sometimes users resist them. At times, users do both. Agency lies in the navigation of the spaces in-between. By analyzing what we do with algorithms rather than what algorithms do to us, Living with Algorithms clarifies the debate over the future of datafication and whether we have a say in its development. Concentrating on an understudied region of the global south, the book provides a new perspective on the commonalities and differences among users within a global ecology of technologies.
