Download or read book Left Legalism Left Critique written by Wendy Brown and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2002-11-22 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, left political projects in the United States have taken a strong legalistic turn. From affirmative action to protection against sexual harassment, from indigenous peoples’ rights to gay marriage, the struggle to eliminate subordination or exclusion and to achieve substantive equality has been waged through courts and legislation. At the same time, critiques of legalism have generally come to be regarded by liberal and left reformers as politically irrelevant at best, politically disunifying and disorienting at worst. This conjunction of a turn toward left legalism with a turn away from critique has hardened an intellectually defensive, brittle, and unreflective left sensibility at a moment when precisely the opposite is needed. Certainly, the left can engage strategically with the law, but if it does not also track the effects of this engagement—effects that often exceed or even redound against its explicit aims—it will unwittingly foster political institutions and doctrines strikingly at odds with its own values. Brown and Halley have assembled essays from diverse contributors—law professors, philosophers, political theorists, and literary critics—united chiefly by their willingness to think critically from the left about left legal projects. The essays themselves vary by topic, by theoretical approach, and by conclusion. While some contributors attempt to rework particular left legal projects, others insist upon abandoning or replacing those projects. Still others leave open the question of what is to be done as they devote their critical attention to understanding what we are doing. Above all, Left Legalism/Left Critique is a rare contemporary argument and model for the intellectually exhilarating and politically enriching dimensions of left critique—dimensions that persist even, and perhaps especially, when critique is unsure of the intellectual and political possibilities it may produce.

Download or read book The Latin American Casebook written by Juan F. Gonzalez-Bertomeu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally relegated because of political pressure and public expectations, courts in Latin America are increasingly asserting a stronger role in public and political discussions. This casebook takes account of this phenomenon, by offering a rigorous and up-to-date discussion of constitutional adjudication in Latin America in recent decades. Bringing to the forefront the development of constitutional law by Latin American courts in various subject matters, the volume aims to highlight a host of creative arguments and solutions that judges in the region have offered. The authors review and discuss innovative case law in light of the countries’ social, political and legal context. Each chapter is devoted to a discussion of a particular area of judicial review, from freedom of expression to social and economic rights, from the internalization of human rights law to judicial checks on the economy, from gender and reproductive rights to transitional justice. The book thus provides a very useful tool to scholars, students and litigants alike.

Download or read book Feminism Unmodified written by Catharine A. MacKinnon and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Catharine A. MacKinnon, noted feminist and legal scholar, explores and develops her original theories and practical proposals on sexual politics and law. These discourses, originally delivered as speeches, have been brilliantly woven into a book that retains all the spontaneity and accessibility of a live presentation. Through these engaged works on issues such as rape, abortion, athletics, sexual harassment, and pornography, MacKinnon seeks feminism on its own terms, unconstrained by the limits of prior traditions. She argues that viewing gender as a matter of sameness and difference--as virtually all existing theory and law have done--covers up the reality of gender, which is a system of social hierarchy, an imposed inequality of power"--Back cover.

Download or read book Constituting Equality written by Susan H. Williams and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-31 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constituting Equality addresses the question, how would you write a constitution if you really cared about gender equality? The book takes a design-oriented approach to the broad range of issues that arise in constitutional drafting concerning gender equality. Each section of the book examines a particular set of constitutional issues or doctrines across a range of different countries to explore what works, where, and why. Topics include: governmental structure (particularly electoral gender quotas); rights provisions; constitutional recognition of cultural or religious practices that discriminate against women; domestic incorporation of international law; and the role of women in the process of constitution making. Interdisciplinary in orientation and global in scope, the book provides a menu for constitutional designers and others interested in how the fundamental legal order might more effectively promote gender equality.

Download or read book Abortion Law in Transnational Perspective written by Rebecca J. Cook and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2014-08-13 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is increasingly implausible to speak of a purely domestic abortion law, as the legal debates around the world draw on precedents and influences of different national and regional contexts. While the United States and Western Europe may have been the vanguard of abortion law reform in the latter half of the twentieth century, Central and South America are proving to be laboratories of thought and innovation in the twenty-first century, as are particular countries in Africa and Asia. Abortion Law in Transnational Perspective offers a fresh look at significant transnational legal developments in recent years, examining key judicial decisions, constitutional texts, and regulatory reforms of abortion law in order to envision ways ahead. The chapters investigate issues of access, rights, and justice, as well as social constructions of women, sexuality, and pregnancy, through different legal procedures and regimes. They address the promises and risks of using legal procedure to achieve reproductive justice from different national, regional, and international vantage points; how public and courtroom debates are framed within medical, religious, and human rights arguments; the meaning of different narratives that recur in abortion litigation and language; and how respect for women and prenatal life is expressed in various legal regimes. By exploring how legal actors advocate, regulate, and adjudicate the issue of abortion, this timely volume seeks to build on existing developments to bring about change of a larger order.

Download or read book La relaci n entre inteligencia emocional y la autoeficacia en los maestros y directores de los programas educativos con la cultura organizacional del Departamento de Correcci n y Rehabilitaci n de Puerto Rico written by Nagelie Laureano Sánchez and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La presente investigación pretende evidenciar la importancia de las destrezas de la inteligencia emocional en los administradores y maestros dentro de los programas educativos que se ofrecen en el Departamento de Corrección y Rehabilitación de Puerto Rico para el logro de la autoeficacia de estos. Goleman (1995) define la Inteligencia Emocional Goleman como la capacidad de reconocer nuestros propios sentimientos y de los demás, de motivarnos y de manejar adecuadamente las relaciones. Es esa capacidad que posee el ser humano para la autorreflexión, en donde pueda identificar sus propias emociones y poder regularlas en forma apropiada. Los administradores son el instrumento para desarrollar nuevas ideas y encaminar el área educativa donde trabajan los maestros. Los maestros se convierten en guías, líderes, en ejemplo y muchos miembros de la población correccional los consideran hasta la única familia. Este trabajo investigativo es de índole cuantitativo, no experimental bajo el tipo descriptivo-correlacional-causal. La muestra fue de 10 participantes para el estudio piloto y 40 parcipantes para el estudio formal. Ambos estudios estuvieron compuestos por administradores y maestros que trabajan dentro de los programas educativos del Departamento de Corrección y Rehabilitación de Puerto Rico. Los hallazgos de este trabajo presentan la importancia del considerar integrar la inteligencia emocional en el rol de los maestros y administradores que trabajan directamente con los miembros de población correccional de Puerto Rico. Los particpantes demuestran tener conocimiento en el tema de la inteligencia emocional, pero se recomienda pueda ser integrada de manera activa y reforzarse continuamente. De igual forma, conocen sobre la autoeficacia, siendo así un aspecto positivo para la solución de situaciones tanto en el aspecto profesional como personal. Se encontró que los administradores y maestros se sienten satisfechos con su clima organizacional, siendo un aspecto clave para el crecimiento dentro de una organización. Los participantes, administradores y maestros, demuestran compromiso y se perciben receptivos a recibir cambios en favor de la organización y de las funciones que realizan.

Download or read book Inteligencia Emocional written by Daniel Goleman and published by Reverte-Management. This book was released on 2021-09-03 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con la lectura de esta obra dispondrás de información actualizada y rigurosa sobre el mundo emocional, podrás contemplar las situaciones con mayor claridad, de manera más honesta y efectiva, y ayudar a los que te rodean a mejorar sus habilidades y su bienestar. Han pasado más de dos décadas desde que la investigación de Daniel Goleman demostró que la inteligencia emocional es dos veces más importante que otras competencias para alcanzar el bienestar. Gestionar tus emociones y relacionarte bien con los demás, explicaba Goleman, te permite alcanzar mayores grados de influencia y satisfacción personal. Este tipo de inteligencia no es un rasgo innato: se puede aprender. Estar más sintonizado con tus emociones te permite decidir cómo usar esos sentimientos de forma más productiva para tomar decisiones más sólidas, dejar atrás los sentimientos negativos, controlarte en situaciones inestables o entender a los demás cuando actúan de formas que te sorprenden o te irritan. Este libro ofrece una selección de los artículos más importantes del archivo de Harvard Business Review. Todos ellos han sido escritos por investigadores expertos en la materia (psicólogos, especialistas en márqueting, profesores de liderazgo y cambio organizacional, ...), entre los que destaca la aportación del propio Daniel Goleman.

Download or read book Inteligencia emocional written by Pablo Fernández-Berrocal and published by Shackleton Books. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un libro que recoge lo aprendido durante los últimos treinta años de investigación psicológica y neurocientífica sobre la inteligencia emocional. Tradicionalmente se ha solido presentar a las emociones como algo contrapuesto al pensamiento racional, como si fueran algo que debíamos mantener al margen si queríamos tomar las decisiones adecuadas. Sin embargo, hace ya tiempo que las investigaciones en psicología y neurociencia demuestran que la realidad es precisamente la contraria: la correcta gestión de nuestras emociones es un ingrediente fundamental para el buen funcionamiento de nuestras capacidades cognitivas y para nuestro bienestar psicológico. Esa es, en esencia, la idea que recoge el concepto de inteligencia emocional, un término que popularizó David Goleman, aunque la teoría original había sido formulada unos años antes por los psicólogos norteamericanos Peter Salovey y John D. Mayer. Se trata de una capacidad que nos permite dar respuesta a dos de los grandes retos a los que se enfrenta cualquier ser humano. El primero, el del autoconocimiento, ya expresado hace más de dos mil años en el templo de Apolo en Delfos, en el que se podía leer la máxima «conócete a ti mismo». El segundo, el de comprender a los demás, para relacionarnos de forma saludable y segura con quien nos rodea. En este libro, el psicólogo y especialista en inteligencia emocional Pablo Fernández-Berrocal nos presenta, de forma práctica y divulgativa, el conjunto de conocimientos que la psicología y las neurociencias han aportado en las últimas décadas sobre cómo conocer y gestionar mejor las emociones. Descubriremos qué es la inteligencia emocional, cómo puede contribuir a nuestra felicidad personal, cómo podemos desarrollar esa capacidad, y algunas de sus aplicaciones más destacadas en el ámbito educativo y de las organizaciones. Pero, por encima de todo, descubriremos que las emociones son esenciales en nuestra vida, para el éxito personal y profesional, para nuestra salud y bienestar, así como para el progreso de la sociedad.
