The Old Economy is dead. So is the New EconomyAlgorithms are increasingly becoming authorities and competing directly with humans. Recommendation engines have long taken control of our lives. We are threatened by a final narcissistic injury, and we are alienated by the fatal information society that we live in. But humans are still the gluons that connect our perceived reality the environment, society, and the economy with our inner world: what it means to be a human being, a Mensch. If we want to ensure that the machines continue to serve us after the digital tsunami, then now is the time to leverage the full power of our reason to build a humanistic society."A must-read for anyone who does not just want to see the future, butwants to be an active part of it."Marshall Goldsmith, Two-time Thinkers 50 #1 Leadership Thinker"Anders Indsets thought-provoking new book is a must-read, and one I wish I had read prior to the outbreak of the pandemic."Dorie Clark, author of "Reinventing You" and Member of Executive Education Faculty Duke University Fuqua School of Business.

The Arabic culinary tradition burst onto the scene in the middle of the tenth century when al-Warraq compiled The Book of Dishes, a culinary treatise containing over 600 recipes. It would take another three and half centuries for cookery books to be produced in the European continent. Until then, gastronomic writing remained the sole preserve of the Arab-Muslim world, with cooking manuals and recipe books being written across the region, from Baghdad in the East to Muslim Spain in the West. A total of nine complete cookery books have survived from this time, containing nearly three thousand recipes. First published in the fifteenth century, The Sultans Feast by the Egyptian Ibn Mubarak Shah features more than 330 recipes, from bread-making and savoury stews, to sweets, pickling and aromatics, as well as tips on a range of topics. This culinary treatise reveals the history of gastronomy in Arab culture.

A Meritocracia Distinta desenvolveu suas questes iniciais acerca dos impactos das novas tecnologias sobre as transiçes de carreira. Visou identificar os capitais diferenciais neste momento de mudança identitaria.Os seus achados, no entanto, surpreenderam: o locus de pesquisa uma instituiço financeira distinta trouxe abrangencia aos dados. E dessa diversidade, novas questes surgiram relativas as interaçes pessoais e profissionais e a forma que vem sendo redefinidas pela tecnologia.A elite meritocratica estudada, tendo feito a sua transiço, podia comenta-la, livre de eventuais sigilos. E assim o fizeram. De fato, onde ha liberdade de ser, ha tambem a surpresa de se-lo.Ao se compararem as entrevistas com a teoria bourdieusiana, verificou-se que, no obstante a fluidez atual, alguns invariantes permaneciam vigentes: a violencia simbolica, a dominaço denegada, o poder corporativo e as desigualdades sociais. Essas dinamicas sociais, sua reproduço e conservaço, desafiam, por vezes, ate mesmo a cartesiana logica do lucro.Nesses termos, o merito que distingue o profissional so pode realmente distingui-lo se analisado de forma diferenciada, diversa distinta , ou seja, considerando as condiçes objetivas e subjetivas de sua existencia.Essa analise e o cerne deste livro, que oferece pontos de debate e um exemplo de aplicaço da Sociologia a Administraço, com vies tecnologico. E, portanto, um passo nos estudos inerentes a Sociologia Corporativa.Boa leitura!

Sassen analiza el modo en que los tres componentes de toda sociedad -territorio, autoridad y derechos- han cambiado en sí mismos y en sus relaciones a lo largo de tres "ensamblajes" históricos fundamentales: el medieval, el nacional y el global. Para ello, estudia la emergencia del Estado-nacion a traves del reposicionamiento sustancial de determinadas capacidades medievales; analiza las condiciones politicas, economicas, legales o tecnologicas inscritas en nuevas logicas organizativas que van de lo nacional hacia lo global, y examina las intersecciones puntuales entre lo territorial, la autoridad y los derechos, con especial atencion al papel de las nuevas tecnologias digitales.

En un contexto social que no sea excluyente con las personas que alguien designó como «diferentes» o como «radicalmente diferentes», se deben conjugar elementos que de forma disruptiva den lugar a un

La pandemia del COVID-19 es una de las grandes encrucijadas críticas de nuestro tiempo. Desde las ciencias sociales se están haciendo numerosos esfuerzos para entender lo que está ocurriendo y vislumbrar lo que el futuro depara. La sociologia, como disciplina interesada por estudiar la vida de la gente en sociedad, aporta una aproximacion unica e ineludible para entender los impactos sociales de la pandemia y sus consecuencias sobre la sociedad pos-COVID.Este libro recoge una serie de aportaciones destacadas que pretenden representar esa manera singular de aproximarse al conocimiento del mundo que es comun a los profesionales de la sociologia y que, mas alla de adscripciones a escuelas teoricas o metodologicas, consiste en analizar la sociedad y sus mecanismos sociales como una realidad compleja e interconectada. Nunca antes como ahora resulto tan palpable la necesidad de articular un pensamiento critico y cientificamente fundado para guiar las decisiones de politica mas alla de la inmediatez y la dimension epidemiologica de la pandemia.

The Soconusco region, a narrow strip of the Pacific coast of Mexico and Guatemala, is the location of some of the earliest pottery-using villages of ancient Mesoamerica. Mobile early inhabitants of the area harvested marsh clams in the estuaries, leaving behind vast mounds of shell. With the introduction of pottery and the establishment of permanent villages (from 1900 B.C.), use of the resource-rich estuary changed. The archaeological manifestation of that new estuary adaptation is a dramatic pattern of inter-site variability in pottery vessel forms. Vessels at sites within the estuary were about seventy percent neckless jars -- "tecomates" -- while vessels at contemporaneous sites a few kilometers inland were seventy percent open dishes. The pattern is well-known, but the the settlement arrangements or subsistence practices that produced it have remained unclear. Archaeological investigations at El Varal, a special-purpose estuary site of the later Early Formative (1250-1000 B.C.) expand possibilities for an anthropological understanding of the archaeological patterns. The goal of this volume is to describe excavations and finds at the site and to propose, based on a variety of analyses, a new understanding of Early Formative assemblage variability.

This volume brings together exciting new field data by more than two dozen Andean scholars who came together to honor their friend, colleague, and mentor. These new studies cover the enormous temporal span of Moseleys own work from the Preceramic era to the Tiwanaku and Moche states to the Inka empire. And, like Moseleys own studies -- from Maritime Foundations of Andean Civilization to Chan Chan: The Desert City to Cerro Bauls brewery -- these new studies involve settlements from all over the Andes -- from the far northern highlands to the far southern coast. An invaluable addition to any Andeanists library, the papers in this book demonstrate the enormous breadth and influence of Moseleys work and the vibrant range of exciting new work by his former students and collaborators in fieldwork.

Over the last decades, considerable effort has been directed towards the study of early complex societies of northern Peru, and in recent years archaeologists have expressed a strong interest in the art and archaeology of the Moche, Lambayeque and Chimu societies. Yet, comparatively little attention has been paid to the earlier cultural foundations of north coast civilization: the Gallinazo. In the recent years, however, the work of a number of north coast specialists brought about a large quantity of data on the Gallinazo occupation of the coast, but a coherent framework for studying this culture had yet to be defined. The present volume is the result of a round table, which gathered some thirty scholars from Europe and North and South America to discuss the Gallinazo phenomenon. In fourteen chapters, authors with different perspectives and backgrounds reconsider the nature of the Gallinazo culture and its position within north coast cultural history, while addressing wider issues about the development of complex societies in this area and within the Andean region in general. The contributions reveal a diversity of perspectives on north coast archaeology, something that is likely to stimulate methodological and theoretical debates among Andeanists, pre-Columbian specialists and New World archaeologists in general.

This volume highlights the latest research on the foundations of sociopolitical complexity in coastal California. The populous maritime societies of southern California, particularly the groups known collectively as the Chumash, have gone largely unrecognized as prototypical complex hunter-gatherers, only recently beginning to emerge from the shadow of their more celebrated counterparts on the Northwest Coast of North America. While Northwest cultures are renowned for such complex institutions as ceremonial potlatches, slavery, cedar plank-house villages, and rich artistic traditions, the Chumash are increasingly recognized as complex hunter-gatherers with a different set of organizational characteristics: ascribed chiefly leadership, a strong maritime economy based on oceangoing canoes, an integrative ceremonial system, and intensive and highly specialized craft production activities. Chumash sites provide some of the most robust data on these subjects available in the Americas. Contributors present stimulating new analyses of household and village organization, ceremonial specialists, craft specializations and settlement data, cultural transmission processes, bead manufacturing practices, watercraft, and the acquisition of prized marine species.

Winner of the 2014 John Collier Jr. Award Winner of the Jo Anne Stolaroff Cotsen Prize Life at Home in the Twenty-First Century cross-cuts the ranks of important books on social history, consumerism, contemporary culture, the meaning of material culture, domestic architecture, and household ethnoarchaeology. It is a distant cousin of Material World and Hungry Planet in content and style, but represents a blend of rigorous science and photography that these books can claim. Using archaeological approaches to human material culture, this volume offers unprecedented access to the middle-class American home through the kaleidoscopic lens of no-limits photography and many kinds of never-before acquired data about how people actually live their lives at home. Based on a rigorous, nine-year project at UCLA, this book has appeal not only to scientists but also to all people who share intense curiosity about what goes on at home in their neighborhoods. Many who read the book will see their own lives mirrored in these pages and can reflect on how other people cope with their mountains of possessions and other daily challenges. Readers abroad will be equally fascinated by the contrasts between their own kinds of materialism and the typical American experience. The book will interest a range of designers, builders, and architects as well as scholars and students who research various facets of U.S. and global consumerism, cultural history, and economic history.

La migración, fenómeno constante en la historia de la humanidad, ha cobrado mayor relevancia en los últimos años. Producto de las incontables crisis económicas y de seguridad que han caracterizado a los paises en vias de desarrollo, millones de personas han abandonado sus comunidades en busca de un mejor futuro. A la par de ello, hemos sido testigos del resurgimiento, o bien fortalecimiento, de grupos nacionalistas y de ultraderecha que promueven conductas xenofobas en los paises de acogida de los migrantes. Ante este panorama, textos como Migracion y Seguridad Fronteriza se vuelven lecturas obligadas para quienes aspiran a comprender la complejidad inherente a estos movimientos humanos. A partir de los relatos y experiencias de migrantes, coyotes, narcotraficantes, consumidores de sustancias, mujeres traficadas para el comercio sexual, empleadores de migrantes ilegales, entre otros, las y los autores hacen una aportacion invaluable al estudio de la migracion y la violencia que comunmente la acompaña.

Constituidas las Fuerzas Armadas permanentes de los Estados modernos como instrumentos al servicio de la defensa de la soberanía y la integridad territorial, a lo largo de su historia han participado asimismo en operaciones humanitarias como respuesta a los principios de humanidad, imparcialidad y neutralidad, liderando dicha accion humanitaria reconocida juridica e institucionalmente.En la presente obra se contempla el desarrollo historico y juridico de misiones, acciones y ayudas humanitarias, fundamentalmente en la epoca contemporanea, centrandose en la Accion Exterior del Estado, su relacion con la defensa nacional y las misiones de estabilizacion de las Naciones Unidas y otras organizaciones internacionales. Sin olvidar otros aspectos como los origenes del Derecho Internacional Humanitario y su coincidencia con la fundacion de la Cruz Roja y la colaboracion de las Fuerzas Armadas con otras instituciones y concretamente con la Universidad

El texto aborda las características epistemológicas y la utilización de las técnicas de investigación encuadradas en las perspectivas distributiva, estructural, contextual y dialéctica. Además, propone una critica a la investigacion social, pues forma parte de un modo jerarquico (paternalista unas veces, autoritario otras) de construccion de la sociedad en alianza con las elites politicas y profesionales. Igualmente ofrece una salida para imaginar otros modos de tratar de / con lo social.
