Book Synopsis El Ocaso de las Ciencias Sociales by : Roiman Valbuena
Download or read book El Ocaso de las Ciencias Sociales written by Roiman Valbuena and published by ROIMAN VALBUENA. This book was released on 2021-08-25 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta segunda edición del libro: El Ocaso de las Ciencias Sociales: Crítica Fundamentada a su Metodología, es una obra que que amplía e intenta mostrar los innumerables errores de esta metodología científica con respecto a sus enfoques y procederes. Es un libro que pretende poner a la luz procedimientos que van contra toda lógica y que, lejos de ayudar al avance de la ciencia, la laceran, provocando su estancamiento. Incluye un apartado acerca de lo que realmente es una Tesis desde el punto de vista de la dialéctica y retórica argumentativa, y no como actualmente son vistas. Es un libro incisivo, para analizar, con profundidad de pensamiento, reflexivo y muy crítico. Quizás hasta irónico, burlesco e intencionalmente grosero. Pero necesario. Donde, cada argumento a favor de la metodología social, va acompañado de un contra argumento. Cada evidencia de una contra evidencia. Y cada proceder, con una analogía acerca de lo que el autor considera, el correcto proceder.
Book Synopsis Latin American Social Policy Developments in the Twenty-First Century by : Natália Sátyro
Download or read book Latin American Social Policy Developments in the Twenty-First Century written by Natália Sátyro and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the scope of reforms and changes in the social protection systems in Latin America that have started at the beginning of the 21st century. It describes how and to what extent changes in social protection systems and social policies have occurred in the region in recent decades. Taking a comparative approach, the volume identifies the triggers for the transformations and how such pressures are received by the welfare regime, or a specific policy sector, to finally yield a given type of reform. The analysis is characterized by the presence of certain factors that explain the development of social protection systems in Latin America, such as economic growth, the consolidation of democratic political regimes, and the region’s Left Turns. The book also examines to what extent common challenges and processes induced by international institutions have led to convergence among countries or welfare regimes, or whether each maintains its own identity.
Book Synopsis El ocaso del Estado Moderno by : Édgar Hernán, Fuentes
Download or read book El ocaso del Estado Moderno written by Édgar Hernán, Fuentes and published by Editorial Tadeo Lozano. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La presente recopilación busca constituirse en el cimiento de lo que, según el autor, podría denominarse una percepción alternativa de las diferentes temáticas que aborda, como lo son la prevalencia de la ideología en la ciencia y el Estado, el carácter autopoiético y homogeneizante del Estado Moderno y la incidencia del multiculturalismo y de la participación ciudadana en las formaciones políticas de la América Latina contemporánea. Diversos autores de los más variados campos del conocimiento, como el genetista Richard Lewontin, el psicoanalista Slavoj Zizek, los filósofos Michel Foucault y Peter Sloterdijk, la politóloga Chantal Mouffe, los epistemólogos Mario Bunge y Karl Popper, entre otros, han servido para elaborar dicha cimentación. En consecuencia, los escritos reunidos en este volumen son, ante todo, una tentativa experimental de difundir la percepción ya aludida y permitir que la misma sea puesta en discusión por parte de la academia. En este sentido, los tres ensayos que lo conforman comparten una convicción crítica y aventurada sobre puntos disímiles, abierta a las observaciones críticas a que pueda dar lugar, bajo el supuesto del valor de la diversidad de opiniones para la generación del conocimiento.

The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 2001, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 2000.

Book Synopsis El tiempo de las tribus by : Michel Maffesoli
Download or read book El tiempo de las tribus written by Michel Maffesoli and published by Siglo XXI. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las sociedades modernas se transforman irremediablemente. Se demenuza el cuerpo social, se agotan las instituciones, se desmoronan las ideologías, se trasmutan los valores: detrás de la sociedad de masas, que ha definido por largo tiempo una de las formas de modernidad, se perfilan nuevas figuras de una socialidad exuberante y poliforma, de las que Michel Maffesoli nos muestra aquí los primeros contornos. E/tiempo de/as tribos es el diagnóstico razonado de las sociedades actuales, una exploración metódica de sus metamorfosis. Cuando el sentimiento y la emoción sustituyen a los ideales de la Razón, y a la lógica de la identidad sucede la lógica del afecto, hemos entrado en la era de las "tribus", de las redes, de los grupúsculos, y vivimos en la hora de las concentraciones efímeras y efervecentes... Un libro que traza las vías de una auténtica sociología del presente.
Book Synopsis Understanding Southern Social Movements by : Simin Fadaee
Download or read book Understanding Southern Social Movements written by Simin Fadaee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern social movements have played an important role in shaping world history and politics. Nevertheless, scholarly literature on movements of the global South remains limited and restricted to testing the social movement theory which was developed in the North. This Northern-centric approach largely fails to provide a meaningful understanding of Southern movements because it is not directly applicable to the differing historical backgrounds, culture and socio-economic structures found in the South. Much of the uniqueness and complexity of Southern social movements has therefore been overlooked. This collection analyses recent events and developments in Southern social movements, introducing well-researched case studies from fifteen countries of the global South. Arranged in two parts, the volume examines firstly movements which focus on rights and quality of life issues, and secondly the post-2011 wave of uprisings which started with Tunisian and Egyptian movements. Contributing to ongoing discussions about the Northern-centric nature of social movement theory and the social sciences more generally, the authors enter into dialogue with the debate on local and national levels, as well as globalizing processes. Through an interdisciplinary approach this book broadens the theoretical and empirical perspectives for the study of social movements and will appeal to sociologists, political scientists, scholars and students of social movements, and social activists.
Book Synopsis Power and Violence in the Colonial City by : Oscar Cornblit
Download or read book Power and Violence in the Colonial City written by Oscar Cornblit and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-30 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward the end of this period, the analysis focuses on the important Indian uprisings of the 1780s (the rebellions of Tupac Amaru) and the causes of the alliances or confrontations between the members of the distinct bands, either white or Indian. These episodes are of particular interest because some aspects of the present guerrilla activity in Peru by the Shining Path can be seen in the insurrections of the 1780s.
Book Synopsis Football Fandom in Europe and Latin America by : Bernardo Buarque de Hollanda
Download or read book Football Fandom in Europe and Latin America written by Bernardo Buarque de Hollanda and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-25 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines pieces of work on Europe and Latin America, the two continents where football arouses the most ardent passions among its spectators. Curiously, an undertaking to compare on a large scale the forms extreme fandom takes in these two geographical areas is still lacking. A situational analysis of the scientific literature devoted to the subject over the last two or three decades represents a step in this direction, making a scattered store of knowledge accessible. It thus answers a need to clarify regional differences in identities and in the practices of supporters.
Book Synopsis The New Politics of Inequality in Latin America by : Douglas A. Chalmers
Download or read book The New Politics of Inequality in Latin America written by Douglas A. Chalmers and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1997-01-30 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against a broader backdrop of globalization and worldwide moves toward political democracy, The New Politics of Inequality in Latin America examines the unfolding relationships among social change, equity, and the democratic representation of the poor in Latin America. Recent Latin American governments have turned away from redistributive policies; at the same time, popular political and social organizations have been generally weakened, inequality has increased, and the gap between rich and poor has grown. Hanging in the balance is the consolidation and the quality of new or would-be democracies; this volume suggests that governments must find not just short-term programmes to alleviate poverty, but long-term means to ensure the effective integration of the poor into political life. The New Politics of Inequality in Latin America bridges the intellectual chasm between, on the one hand, studies of grassroots politics, and on the other, explorations of elite politics and formal institution-building. It will be of interest to students and scholars of contemporary Latin American politics and society and, more generally, in the vicissitudes of democracy and citizenship in the late twentieth-century global system.
Book Synopsis The Memory of Fire Trilogy by : Eduardo Galeano
Download or read book The Memory of Fire Trilogy written by Eduardo Galeano and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 1348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All three books in the American Book Award–winning Memory of Fire Trilogy available in a single volume for the first time. Eduardo Galeano’s Memory of Fire Trilogy defies categorization—or perhaps creates its own. It is a passionate, razor-sharp, lyrical history of North and South America, from the birth of the continent’s indigenous peoples through the end of the twentieth century. The three volumes form a haunting and dizzying whole that resurrects the lives of Indians, conquistadors, slaves, revolutionaries, poets, and more. The first book, Genesis, pays homage to the many origin stories of the tribes of the Americas, and paints a verdant portrait of life in the New World through the age of the conquistadors. The second book, Faces and Masks, spans the two centuries between the years 1700 and 1900, in which colonial powers plundered their newfound territories, ultimately giving way to a rising tide of dictators. And in the final installment, Century of the Wind, Galeano brings his story into the twentieth century, in which a fractured continent enters the modern age as popular revolts blaze from North to South. This celebrated series is a landmark of contemporary Latin American writing, and a brilliant document of culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yet many Latin Americanists believe that the popularity of this controversial figure has clouded understanding of Mexico's history.

Book Synopsis Social Alternatives in Southern Europe and Latin America by : Montserrat Duch-Plana
Download or read book Social Alternatives in Southern Europe and Latin America written by Montserrat Duch-Plana and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-19 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the evolution of initiatives connected to the social and solidarity economy and their political cultures and educational implications in the south of Europe and in Latin America. Employing a comparative perspective, the contributors present 11 studies of these trajectories in Argentina, Chile, Portugal, France, Italy, Spain, and Catalonia in order to engender familiarity with social tributary practices and projects in the Latin world. As the cyclical crises of capitalism and their resulting inequalities have created proposals of reform and brought them into action, certain shared ideological influences and policies have emerged across these societies. Faced with the interpretative schemes used for the Anglo-Saxon sphere, which have been the usual reference in international research, this volume’s geographical and cultural matrix of analysis helps fill a longstanding gap in this field. The book will be of interest to scholars, educators, and students specialising in the history and political science of the social and solidarity economy sectors, as well as professionals involved in cooperatives, mutual aid societies, and associations.
