Book Synopsis Las contradicciones culturales de la modernidad by : Daniel Bell
Download or read book Las contradicciones culturales de la modernidad written by Daniel Bell and published by Anthropos Editorial. This book was released on 2007 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Se propone continuar el legado conformado por otra obra previa, Las consecuencias perversas de la modernidad, que en 1996 vio la luz presentando trabajos de Bauman, Luhmann, Giddens y Beck. Tal aportación, realizada hace diez años, sirvió de importante muestrario de conceptos que han configurado el marco de referencia semántico para el análisis de las sociedades modernas avanzadas. Así, Las contradicciones culturales de la modernidad pretende proseguir y ampliar ese tipo de análisis sociológico ya existente, pero haciéndolo extensivo a otros ámbitos, desde el propio concepto de modernidad (Bell, Eisenstadt, Wittrock, Bauman), en sus diversas configuraciones sociales (Bellah, Walzer, Ikegami), revisitando la re-estructuración institucional de la religión en las sociedades modernas (Schluchter) y volviendo a tematizar el significado de conceptos como el riesgo (Luhmann), el progreso y su mitología (Blumenberg), la aceleración social (Koselleck) y el miedo (J. Reemtsma).
Book Synopsis Consecuencias de la modernidad by : Anthony Giddens
Download or read book Consecuencias de la modernidad written by Anthony Giddens and published by Alianza Editorial Sa. This book was released on 1999-05-02 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frente a quienes sostienen que la modernidad ha sido sobrepasada, Anthony Giddens afirma que nos hallamos en un período de «alta modernidad» en el que las tendencias anteriores en vez de debilitarse se radicalizan y universalizan. En su exploración de las consecuencias de la modernidad hace hincapié en los aspectos cultural y epistemológico: la institucionalización de la duda como consecuencia de la ruptura con la tradición, la intersección de fiabilidad y riesgo, seguridad y peligro, para llegar finalmente a un «perfil de riesgo» distinto en esencia de los imperantes en los órdenes premodernos.
Book Synopsis Incomplete Democracy by : Manuel Antonio Garretón
Download or read book Incomplete Democracy written by Manuel Antonio Garretón and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2004-07-21 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Latin America's leading sociologists, Manuel Antonio Garreton explores contemporary challenges to democratization in Latin America in this work originally published in Spanish in 1995. He pays particular attention to the example of Chile, analyzing the country's return to democracy and its hopes for continued prosperity following the 1973 coup that overthrew democratically elected president Salvador Allende. Garreton contends that the period of democratic crisis and authoritarian rule that characterized much of Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s was symptomatic of a larger breakdown in the way society and government worked. A new era emerged in Chile at the end of the twentieth century, Garreton argues--an era that partakes of the great changes afoot in the larger world. This edition updates Garreton's analysis of developments in Chile, considering the administration of current president Ricardo Lagos. The author concludes with an exploration of future prospects for democracy in Latin America.
Book Synopsis Medicine, Risk, Discourse and Power by : John Martyn Chamberlain
Download or read book Medicine, Risk, Discourse and Power written by John Martyn Chamberlain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically explores from a comparative international perspective the role medicine plays in constructing and managing natural and social risks, including those belonging to modern medical technology and expertise. Drawing together chapters written by professional practitioners and social scientists from the UK, South America, Australia and Europe, the book offers readers an insightful and thought-provoking analysis of how modern medicine has transformed our understanding of both ourselves and the world around us, but in so doing has arguably failed to fully recognize and account for, its unintended and negative effects. This is an essential read for social scientists, practitioners and policymakers who want to better understand how they can develop new ways of thinking about how modern medicine can promote social goods and enhance public health.
Book Synopsis Creativity and Time: A Sociological Exploration by : Juan A. Roche Cárcel
Download or read book Creativity and Time: A Sociological Exploration written by Juan A. Roche Cárcel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book defends that the pursuit of originality constitutes one of the most important characteristics of creativity, but that originality refers, etymologically, to both origin and originary. Hence, the book is structured into two parts, dedicated, respectively, to the creative categories of origin and the creative categories of originary. Within the former are creation myths, games – the origin of all cultural activity, the dialectic chaos-order, axial civilizations – the germ of our time, and the struggle between generations – a factor of social transformation, and, within the second, creative capitalism, creative work in the context of the global economy of risk and uncertainty, and representative democracy. However, these two concepts are not isolated, but deeply interrelated, in a way that explains how creative originality builds a temporal narrative. It has been dislocated in late modernity and, with it, creativity has been broken.
Book Synopsis Against Inequality by : Alejandro I. Canales
Download or read book Against Inequality written by Alejandro I. Canales and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-10-03 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Against Inequality, the authors offer a theoretical and political proposal for social emancipation, seen as an opportunity to build conditions of equality in contexts of freedom, not only for ethical but essentially political foundations. To achieve this, the authors confront inequality in two ways: as a social phenomenon (and, therefore, historically situated and structured) and through critical reflection on the concepts, categories, indicators and frameworks of its understanding. In this sense, they propose a critical reflection of the ways in which it has been thought theoretically and politically at various times, with special reference to the way in which it has been conceived in modern, capitalist society.

Book Synopsis Latin American Perspectives on Global Development by : Samuel Ernest Harrington
Download or read book Latin American Perspectives on Global Development written by Samuel Ernest Harrington and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although as a vast subcontinent, Latin America reflects diverse perspectives of life, senses of identity, cultural and spiritual outlooks, its constituting countries share a specific history of resistance against the prevalent patterns of global development. However, Latin America presents newer accounts of development understood as genuine views on human well-being derived from a sense of its own specific identity. In an emerging renaissance emphasizing human flourishing as the ultimate goal, Latin America is shifting gears towards an ethical perspective on global development. Distinct here is an emphasis on philosophy, theology, literature, arts, music, and cinema as fertile terrains depicting how the subcontinent must draw its own unique picture of development. Today, it is undergoing a diverse cultural, philosophical and spiritual growth, and holds exciting potential to be aligned with, and contribute to, the contemporary debates around the ethics of global development. This book discusses Latin American perspectives against the backdrop of the mainstream view of development, which portrays economic growth as development. It also looks at historical context, cultural diversity, cultural richness and the complex philosophy of life in the Latin American perspective to address the subcontinent’s deep cultural heritage, the depiction of its identity, and its philosophy of life. Additionally, this book discusses how the causes of inequality and malaises such as social crime can be eliminated, and more importantly, how the prosperity and economic, social, and human development of the subcontinent (and the world in general) may be improved.
Book Synopsis Portuguese Philosophy of Technology by : Helena Mateus Jerónimo
Download or read book Portuguese Philosophy of Technology written by Helena Mateus Jerónimo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-23 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of essays of a philosophical nature on the subject of technology, introducing authors from the Portuguese-speaking community, namely from Portugal itself, Africa and Brazil. Their contributions detail a unique perspective on technology, placing this important topic within the historical, ideological and social contexts of their countries, all of which share a common language. The shared history of these countries and the cultural and economic specificities of each one have stimulated singular insights into these thinkers’ reflections. The essays are thematically diverse. Among the topics covered are technogenic knowledge, visions of technology, risks and uncertainties, mediatization, digitalization, and datafication, engineering practice and ethics, alternative technoscientific strategies, ontotechnologies of the body, virtual and archive. The contributions also explore other themes that are more closely related to the semi-peripheral world, such as technological dependence and the incorporation of Western technology into the social structure of ancestral communities. This book appeals to students and researchers and provides a voice to authors whose work are not usually available in English-language publications. It serves as an ideal guide for all those who seek rigorous and geographically widespread knowledge regarding thinking on technology in several Portuguese-speaking countries.

Book Synopsis Paisajes insurrectos by : Rossana Reguillo
Download or read book Paisajes insurrectos written by Rossana Reguillo and published by NED Ediciones. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Es posible hablar de insurrecciones 2.0?, ¿de nuevas formas de acuerpamiento social?, ¿de nuevas formas de protesta y organización colectiva? ¿Qué desafíos plantea la ola de insurrecciones que han irrumpido en la escena del siglo XXI? Este libro busca repensar las preguntas que nos hacemos en torno a las culturas políticas de los jóvenes y su acción colectiva. También reflexiona sobre la idea de sujeto y sus formas de expresión. Un sujeto que busca deslindarse de los determinismos, que sale a campo abierto, en plena tempestad sin certezas. Un sujeto que se arriesga no para decretar, sino para comprender, para asir lo inasible “garantizando su estatuto de inasible”, como quería Levinas. La autora habla acerca, de, sobre y especialmente con quienes han construido una inmensa red de conversaciones colectivas, de acciones, de estéticas y de lenguajes. Estos movimientos sociales surgidos en la red y trasladados a la calle, han logrado interrumpir el monólogo de los poderes propietarios.
Book Synopsis A Sociological Genealogy of Culture Wars by : Maya Aguiluz-Ibargüen
Download or read book A Sociological Genealogy of Culture Wars written by Maya Aguiluz-Ibargüen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the culture wars as those struggles for the monopoly of the legitimate representation of the world in the normative elucidation of controversial issues linked to values. Public culture in this context would consist of a set of complex classificatory systems of symbols and meanings that constitute a semantic field in permanent dynamic tension. In this work we analyze a whole series of lines of cultural conflict such as the social and semantic genesis of the different forms of “culture war” from the thesis of “modern polytheism” pointed out by Max Weber at the beginning of the 20th century to the national culture wars and the current global culture wars; the social production of truth and the clash with the epistemological tribalisms; the struggles between the new warrior gods, daimons and demons that emerge in modern societies; the struggles of fusion and fission on the symbolic battlefield of “Europe”; the struggles between “pioneers” and “gatekeepers” to define the limits of human nature; the struggles between utopias and dystopias that colonize the present future. This book will be of great help to anybody looking for key interpretations on the nature and structure of modern conflicts in contemporary societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth studies in Latin America and Spain face numerous challenges. This book delves into youth experiences in the 21st century, shaped by complex and pressing issues: the surge of youth cultures and groups, visual images of youth throughout time, and fragmented youth experiences in radically unequal societies. It analyzes young people as precarious natives in global capitalism and labor uncertainty, juvenicide, feminist discourse, social networks, intimacy and sexual affection among young people in a context of growing claims of gender equality. Also included are rural and indigenous youth as political actors, the actions of young political activists within government administrations, the experience of youth migration and empowerment, and young people dealing with the digital world. How have youth studies approached these issues in Latin America and Spain? Which were the main developments and transformations in this research field over the past years? Where is it heading?

Book Synopsis Comparative Information Technology by : Joseph Zajda
Download or read book Comparative Information Technology written by Joseph Zajda and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-21 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative Information Technology: Languages, Societies and the Internet, which is the fourth volume in the 12-volume series Globalisation, Comparative Education and Policy Research, offers a critique of the nexus between ICT and its impact on society, individuals and educational institutions. One of the most signification dimensions of globalisation has been the rapid development of information and communications technologies (ICTs). Our lives have been changed by this in numerous ways and the implications for education are en- mous. The ICTs have transformed the linguistic, cognitive and visual dim- sions of human communication, as well as our perceptions of the self, and social identity in the global culture. The ICTs have facilitated the development of new dimensions of digital literacy, such as blogging and sms messaging. In this sense, cyberlanguage continues to evolve by borrowing and adapting familiar words, coining new expressions, and embracing particular styles (Gibbs & Krause, 2006, 2007). However, information technology can be both empowering and disempowering. Individuals use the Internet, notebooks, and their BlackBerries and communicate via email. If clothing is an extension of one’s skin, then the ICT has become an extension of our bodies. In a globalised world, linked through the Internet, a n- formed identity can lead to a multiplicity of identities, some contradictory to each other, and some taking place primarily in the virtual communities of cyberspace.
