Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its original formulation, ‘culture' was intended to be an agent for change, a mission undertaken with the aim of educating ‘the people' by bringing the best of human thought and creativity to them. But in our contemporary liquid-modern world, culture has lost its missionary role and has become a means of seduction: it seeks no longer to enlighten the people but to seduce them. The function of culture today is not to satisfy existing needs but to create new ones, while simultaneously ensuring that existing needs remain permanently unfulfilled. Culture today likens itself to a giant department store where the shelves are overflowing with desirable goods that are changed on a daily basis - just long enough to stimulate desires whose gratification is perpetually postponed. In this new book, Zygmunt Bauman - one of the most brilliant and influential social thinkers of our time - retraces the peregrinations of the concept of culture and examines its fate in a world marked by the powerful new forces of globalization, migration and the intermingling of populations. He argues that Europe has a particularly important role to play in revitalizing our understanding of culture, precisely because Europe, with its great diversity of peoples, languages and histories, is the space where the Other is always one's neighbour and where each is constantly called upon to learn from everyone else.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La posmodernidad, con su catálogo de términos propios como particularidad, coyunturalidad, fragmentación, deconstrucción, interpretación, diferencia, discontinuidad... es una especie de ’koiné’ o lenguaje común que articula diversas teorías técnicas, filosóficas y artísticas. Este nuevo idioma pretende llenarnos el corazón de desconfianza hacia todo lo que la modernidad presentó como definitivo, unívoco y total. Pero no es un salto en el vacío, es un volver a los temas de la modernidad quizá con otra mirada y otra sensibilidad. Es ésta una obra colectiva que consta de cinco conferencias que, desde diferentes puntos de vista, tratan el debate entre la modernidad y la posmodernidad pero indirectamente, cuentan con el debate pero no se detienen en él porque su meta es otra: para Reyes Mata el objetivo es pensar de nuevo la política, partiendo del sufrimiento del hombre concreto que exige responsabilidad a quien no ha causado sus dolores; para Julián Carvajal es traernos a la consideración la ’Paz perpetua’ de Kant con su ideal cosmopolita; para Carlos Thiebaut consiste en una concepción de la democracia que permita una visión diferencialista de la igualdad y un trato igualitario de las diferencias; para Antonio Hernández se trata de una nueva forma de pensar que conjugue el rigor científico con la subjetividad, la complejidad con la diferencia; y para José Luis Mora el fin es recordarnos que, frente a la racionalidad matemática de la modernidad, la literatura española ha mantenido una tradición muy posmoderna de pluralidad, cotidianeidad y sensualidad.

Book excerpt: This book is a tribute to the first modern urban planner and his product: the Eixample, which is today the thriving and undisputed center of the Barcelona metropolitan area. The city of Barcelona as constructed over the last 150 years on the strength of Ildefons Cerdà's 1859 'Project for the Reform and Expansion' bears living witness to the modernity of a way of thinking and making the city. An appreciaton of the values of the Eixample that have taken shape in the last century and a half affords illuminating insights into what it means to plan, design and build a city. The chapter structure is devoted to an orderly analysis in the first instance of the elements that articulate the construction of the Eixample -- the residential fabric, the grid, the street, the chamfered corner and the sewers -- and then of the city blocks and the various configurations associated with housing, industry, amenities and open spaces. The book intentionally focuses on the Eixample as a whole -- what we know as the Cerdà Eixample -- instead of confining itself to the more central Eixample traditionally associated with Modernista architecture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How writers respond to a cosmology in evolution in the sixteenth century and how literature and space implicate each other are the guiding issues of this volume in which sixteen authors explore the topic of space in its multiform incarnations and representations. The volume's first section features the early modern exploration and codification of urban and rural spaces as well as maritime and industrial expanses: "Space and Territory: Geographies in Texts" thus contributes to a history of spatial consciousness. The construction of local, national, political, public, and private places is highlighted in "Space and Politics: Literary Geographies"; the contributors in this segment show how built forms as architectural or literary constructions and spatial orientation are intertwined. "Space and Gender: Geopoetical Approaches" traces the experience of gender as political, territorial, and communicative exploration; the essays in this division deal with social organization and its symbolic analysis, resulting in literary texts featuring what could be called psychological production theories. The development of ethical approaches adapted to or critical of colonial expansion is analyzed in "Space and Ethics: Geocritical Ventures"; here we encounter early modern globalization where locals, explorers, immigrants, adventurers, and intellectuals remake themselves in new places, engage in or meet with resistance, or attempt to rework local sociopolitical systems while reassessing those they are familiar with. "The Space of the Book, the Book as Space: Printing, Reading, Publishing" analyzes the tactile object of the book as an arena for commerce, politics, and authorial experimentation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estas reflexiones sobre la condición moderna se asientan sobre la convicción de que sobre el hombre moderno se asientan las Ciencias sociales. El hombre moderno, aquel que a diferencia del héroe trágico, solo cuenta consigo mismo para entender las consecuencias de sus actos; ese hombre que no debe esperar a que al final de su recorrido vital, los dioses le muestren y le hagan comprender que el desenlace trágico ha sido producto de sus propias decisiones. En la primera parte del libro, el autor analiza desde el punto de vista de la sociología, los posibles significados de la idea de la modernidad y en la segunda parte, mediante la aplicación de conceptos sociológicos, plantea y examina un problema bastante intemporal: el poder.
