This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together over forty original short essays, some academic, others more creative in nature, this collection responds to the political, historical, social, and economic situation in which we find ourselves today. The editors argue that we are living in a repetition that must be stopped – if our goal is that the signifier "humanity" remains in the following centuries, the time has come to work in the present. The objective is not to deliver precise or quick answers, but to gather varied voices from different continents, bringing together different languages, ideas, practices, theories, thoughts, and desires. In the words of Yanis Varoufakis, "urging us to become agents of a future that ends unnecessary mass suffering and inspire humanity to realise its potential for authentic freedom." To leave the concept of a manifesto open, the contradictory aspects of the chapters are a subject of the manifesto itself. This is a manifesto of contradictions that reflects our reality as well as our struggles and our aspirations. This unique anthology will appeal to students and scholars across the humanities and social sciences interested in critical theory and social change.

Book excerpt: La colección presenta trabajos interdisciplinares que hacen uso de herramientas no solo humanistas sino también digitales para proponer enfoques inéditos sobre Literatura, Lingüística, Teoría Crítica y Filosofía en el espacio multicultural iberoamericano del siglo XXI. Las tres principales líneas de investigación - los corpus lingüísticos digitalizados, la lingüística experimental, y la relación entre Literatura, Crítica y Big Data - combinan el análisis de datos con un pensamiento crítico que trasciende el "dataísmo" y abre nuevas perspectivas (biopolítica, feminista y decolonial) en las Humanidades Digitales. The series presents interdisciplinary studies harnessing humanistic as well as digital tools to offer innovative approaches to literary studies, linguistics, critical theory and philosophy in the multicultural Ibero-American space of the 21st century. Its three principal lines of research - digital linguistic corpora, experimental linguistics, and the relation between literature, critique and big data - combine data analysis with critical thinking that transcends mere "dataism" and opens new (biopolitical, feminist, decolonial...) perspectives within Digital Humanities.

This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a child-centred approach to migrant children’s experiences in education. Using a decolonising framework, the book interrogates the diversity of migrant experiences in the global South and North. The book brings together researchers and practitioners from education, childhood studies, sociology, and linguistics to debate and theorise key methodological and empirical issues in migrant children’s experiences through education. It focuses on how diverse forms of global mobilities are key to transforming educational experiences of children and considers the interplay of class, race, gender, geography, and learning settings. By doing so, the book uncovers particular challenges for addressing sustainable development goals relating to education and inclusive development. Diversifying the study of migration and development, the book challenges the Eurocentrism of the discipline and contributes to ongoing efforts to liberate the field from labels and discourses that further marginalise migrant children. Using an intersectional and decolonising approach to address an important gap in the diversity of migrant experiences, the book will be of great interest to researchers, scholars, and students in the field of migration studies, sociology of education, intercultural education, and international development.

Download or read book If God Were a Human Rights Activist written by Boaventura de Sousa Santos and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-29 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a time when the most appalling social injustices and unjust human sufferings no longer seem to generate the moral indignation and the political will needed both to combat them effectively and to create a more just and fair society. If God Were a Human Rights Activist aims to strengthen the organization and the determination of all those who have not given up the struggle for a better society, and specifically those that have done so under the banner of human rights. It discusses the challenges to human rights arising from religious movements and political theologies that claim the presence of religion in the public sphere. Increasingly globalized, such movements and the theologies sustaining them promote discourses of human dignity that rival, and often contradict, the one underlying secular human rights. Conventional or hegemonic human rights thinking lacks the necessary theoretical and analytical tools to position itself in relation to such movements and theologies; even worse, it does not understand the importance of doing so. It applies the same abstract recipe across the board, hoping that thereby the nature of alternative discourses and ideologies will be reduced to local specificities with no impact on the universal canon of human rights. As this strategy proves increasingly lacking, this book aims to demonstrate that only a counter-hegemonic conception of human rights can adequately face such challenges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro explica en gran detalle y claridad excepcional los asuntos relacionados con el rapto de la Iglesia, el gobierno del Anticristo, la "gran tribulacin", y todos los juicios apocalpticos que Dios derramara sobre el mundo, en los ltimos das. Creemos que el rapto de la Iglesia causara el colapso de las instituciones econmicas, polticas y religiosas a travs de todo el mundo. En ese momento, la humanidad buscara un lder capaz de salvar el mundo, y de ofrecerles paz y seguridad a las gentes. De manera que por aclamacin popular, el mundo le dar la bienvenida a un falso principe que la Biblia llama el Anticristo. Este hombre inspirara las masas, dicindoles lo que ellos quieren or. El Anticristo empujara la humanidad a los niveles ms bajos de degradacin, vicios, inmoralidad, crimen y rebelin abierta contra Dios. El corromper el orden social y moral y como resultado, billones de personas morirn. El hundir la humanidad en oscuridad espiritual y la guiara derecho la perdicin. No nos podemos ni siquiera imaginar el horror y el sufrimiento sin fin que la humanidad experimentara a travs del caos que el Anticristo creara en la Tierra. La Biblia dice que el imperio del Anticristo "devorara, trillara y despedazara" toda la Tierra (Daniel 7:23b VRV). Con respecto a este periodo de sufrimiento humano, el Seor Jess dijo: "Porque aquellos das sern de tribulacin cual nunca ha habido desde el principio de la creacin que Dios creo, hasta este tiempo, ni la habr" (Marcos 13:19 VRV). La "gran tribulacin" ser un periodo caracterizado por guerra, hambre y desastres naturales a gran escala, esparcidos por toda la Tierra. La Biblia dice que 25 y 33 por ciento de la poblacin mundial morir durante ese periodo como resultado de dos eventos globales. Si esos eventos ocurrieran en nuestro tiempo, 3.56 billones de la poblacin del mundo, morira.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The End of the Cognitive Empire Boaventura de Sousa Santos further develops his concept of the "epistemologies of the South," in which he outlines a theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical framework for challenging the dominance of Eurocentric thought. As a collection of knowledges born of and anchored in the experiences of marginalized peoples who actively resist capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy, epistemologies of the South represent those forms of knowledge that are generally discredited, erased, and ignored by dominant cultures of the global North. Noting the declining efficacy of established social and political solutions to combat inequality and discrimination, Santos suggests that global justice can only come about through an epistemological shift that guarantees cognitive justice. Such a shift would create new, alternative strategies for political mobilization and activism and give oppressed social groups the means through which to represent the world as their own and in their own terms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world overwhelmingly unjust and seemingly deprived of alternatives, this book claims that the alternatives can be found among us. These alternatives are, however, discredited or made invisible by the dominant ways of knowing. Rather than alternatives, therefore, we need an alternative way of thinking of alternatives. Such an alternative way of thinking lies in the knowledges born in the struggles against capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy, the three main forms of modern domination. In their immense diversity, such ways of knowing constitute the Global South as an epistemic subject. The epistemologies of the South are guided by the idea that another world is possible and urgently needed; they emerge both in the geographical north and in the geographical south whenever collectives of people fight against modern domination. Learning from and with the epistemic South suggests that the alternative to a general theory is the promotion of an ecology of knowledges based on intercultural and interpolitical translation.

Download or read book Grassroots Postmodernism written by Gustavo Esteva and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-08-14 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the publication of this remarkable book in 1998, Gustavo Esteva and Madhu Suri Prakash instigated a complete epistemological rupture. Grassroots Post-modernism attacks the three sacred cows of modernity: global thinking, the universality of human rights and the self-sufficient individual. Rejecting the constructs of development in all its forms, Esteva and Prakash argue that even alternative development prescriptions deprive the people of control over their own lives, shifting this control to bureaucrats, technocrats and educators. Rather than presuming that human progress fits a predetermined mould, leading towards an increasing homogenization of cultures and lifestyles, the authors argue for a ‘radical pluralism’ that honours and nurtures distinctive cultural variety and enables many paths to the realization of self-defined aspirations. This classic text is essential reading for those looking beyond neoliberalism, the global project and the individual self.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive Justice in a Global World: Prudent Knowledges for a Decent Life is an edited collection that springs from the now dormant debates known as 'The Science Wars,' which questioned the nature of scientific theories. Learning from the debates about the plurality of truths and opinions, editor Boaventura de Sousa Santos has realized an opportunity for strengthening the relations between the natural and social sciences with more epistemological affinities and for opening up new transnational dialogues between scientists and other producers of knowledge. This book analyses in detail some of the topics that amount to a set of problematic relations between science and ethics; between objectivity and neutrality; between the sociological and theoretical condition of production and the limits of scientific rigor; between public faith in science and the economic powers that determine scientific priorities; and between science and other kinds of knowledge existing in society. Maintaining that global social injustice is by and large epistemological injustice and that there can be no global social justice without global cognitive justice, Cognitive Justice in a Global World is an important collection for higher-level students and researchers in the social sciences, philosophy of science, and intellectual history.
