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.

Recent developments in the Middle East and North Africa have radically destabilised the region, which is beset with rising religious and political tensions, sectarian conflict and terrorism. Though in crisis and suffering from a paralysis of will, the region is also vastly rich in culture, and vital for the stability of the international order. There is an urgent need for an accurate understanding of these complex developments. What does the future hold for this geopolitically critical region? In this vital multidisciplinary volume, leading Middle Eastern and Western scholars present constructive, long-term solutions to endemic socio-cultural, economic and political issues facing the MENA region - issues which require a fundamental transformation of the current system of values and patterns of thought. They offer expert analysis on critical facets of the region, including globalisation, the environment and sustainability, education, nonviolence, human rights, inter-religious coexistence, Islamic social principles, and Quranic ethics. Enriching our understanding of the contemporary affairs of the MENA region, Winds of Change is essential reading for achieving peace, socio-cultural progress and prosperity in the region.

In recent decades churches have accommodated people with disabilities in various ways. Through access ramps and elevators and sign language, disabled persons are invited in to worship. But are they actually enfolded into the churchs mission? Have the able-bodied come to recognize and appreciate the potential contributions of people with disabilities in the ministry and witness of the church?Benjamin Conner wants to stimulate a new conversation between disability studies and Christian theology and missiology. How can we shape a new vision of the entire body of Christ sharing in the witness of the church? How would it look if we "disabled" Christian theology, discipleship, and theological education? Conner argues that it would in fact enable congregational witness. He has seen it happen and he shows us how.Imagine a church that fully incorporates persons with disabilities into its mission and witness. In this vision, people with disabilities contribute to the churchs pluriform witness, and the congregation embodies a robust hermeneutic of the gospel. Picture the entire body of Christ functioning beyond distinctions of dis/ability, promoting mutual flourishing and growing into fullness.Here is an enlargement of the churchs witness as a sign, agent, and foretaste of the kingdom of God. Here is a fresh and inspiring look at the mission of the church when it enfolds people with disabilities as full members.Missiological Engagements charts interdisciplinary and innovative trajectories in the history, theology, and practice of Christian mission, featuring contributions by leading thinkers from both the Euro-American West and the majority world whose missiological scholarship bridges church, academy, and society.

The authors of After the Revolution return with an incisive study of the work of contemporary women artists. In After the Revolution, the authors concluded that "The battles may not all have been won . . . but barricades are gradually coming down, and work proceeds on all fronts in glorious profusion." Now, with The Reckoning, authors Heartney, Posner, Princenthal, and Scott bring into focus the accomplishments of 24 acclaimed international women artists born since 1960 who have benefited from the groundbreaking efforts of their predecessors. The book is organized in four thematic sections: "Bad Girls" profiles artists whose work represents an assault on conventional notions of gender and racial difference. "History Lessons" offers reflections on the self in the context of history and globalization. "Spellbound" focuses on womens embrace of the irrational, subjective, and surreal, while "Domestic Disturbances" takes on womens conflicted relationship to home, family, and security. Written in lively prose and fully illustrated throughout, this book gives an informed account of the wonderful diversity of recent contemporary art by women."An indispensable contribution to the literature on contemporary art by women." (Whitney Chadwick, author of Women, Art and Society)"In the 2007 book After the Revolution: Women Who Transformed Contemporary Art, [the authors] set a new standard in documenting and evaluating the work of a dozen key women artists, spanning generations between the 1960s to the 2000s. . . The beat goes on with the appearance of The Reckoning, written by the same authors in the same accessible scholarly style, but reflecting important historical changes over the past decade and more. In line with the increased presence of women in mainstream art, the book includes twice as many artists as its predecessor. And its global reach has expanded vastly, stretching from Europe and the Americas to Africa and China." (Holland Cotter, The New York Times)

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!

IVP Readers Choice AwardDoes God call women to serve as equal partners in marriage and as leaders in the church?The answer to this straightforward question is deeply contested. Into the fray, Lucy Peppiatt offers her work on interpretation of the Bible and Christian practice. With careful exegetical work, Peppiatt considers relevant passages in Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Peter, 1 Timothy, and 1 Corinthians. There she finds a story of God releasing women alongside men into all forms of ministry, leadership, work, and service on the basis of character and gifting, rather than biological sex.Those who see the overturning of male-dominated hierarchy in the Scriptures, she argues, are truly rediscovering an ancient messagea message distorted by those who assumed that a patriarchal world, which they sometimes saw reflected in the Bible, was the one God had ordained.

People with disabilities are often excluded from full participation in church communities. Accessibility is a key component of the biblical ministry of reconciliationbut its not enough. To truly work toward reconciliation, churches must both consider the theological implications of disability and also become places where people with disabilities lead.Disabling Leadership presents a practical theology of disability for thoughtful church leaders and congregants. Written by practitioners and a scholar-pastor who are engaged in ministry together, this book encompasses cutting-edge theological ethics as well as stories of how such commitments are embodied in a real church community. The authors equip readers to explore key themes such as: what it means to be human how to understand suffering and healing how churches can be welcoming and accessible communities how to face common challenges and issues in resisting ableism Disabling Leadership moves beyond paternalistic views of disability that seek to extract "inspiration" from anothers story without engaging in the difficult work of just and dignifying relationships. When we foster genuinely inclusive leadership teams, the authors contend, our churches will be less likely to treat anyone as a "project" and will better reflect Gods love as the body of Christ.

Race complicates our relationships, even when we reject racism and seek to walk a better path together. How can we get our thinkingand our conversationsunstuck from entrenched patterns? In this book, four experts in psychology and social work present a model for how to build and deepen the cross-race relationships we want.The starting place, they testify, must be a biblical understanding of the problem of racial disunity, grounded in the grand narrative of Scripture, followed by practical insights about psychology and social behavior. This book is the culmination of professionalbut also deeply personalconversations the authors have had with each other, wrestling together over current events, their own stories, and their roles in the healing process. They combine biblical teachings with psychological science to help Christians develop the skills to discuss race and ethnicity.In each chapter, you will be guided through essential information, biblical examples, case studies, activities, and journaling exercises to prepare you to practice healing conversations. Using research from psychology, attachment theory, and emotionally focused therapy, this process will build your knowledge, self-awareness, other-awareness, and specific relational skills.Jesus embodied love, challenged injustice, welcomed those rejected by society, and engaged in healing conversations with everyone he encountered. The insights and practices in Healing Conversations on Race will help Christians grow in Christlikeness and follow his example.

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.

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.

In these three lectures, the eminent British rabbi and theologian Louis Jacobs defines and defends his position as a liberal supernaturalist and halakhic nonfundamentalist in those areas where the religious Jew is confronted with the conflicting truth claims of modern knowledge and traditional belief. Jacobs begins by contrasting the theistic belief in a personal God with some of its alternatives; he argues that the liberal supernaturalists position is both the closest in approximation to the traditional Jewish view and still the most coherent way to deal with the fundamental mysteries of the universe, even after Freud, Darwin, Marx, and modern technology have replaced a God-centered universe with a universe the center of which is man. The second lecture explores the impact of modern science and scholarship on the doctrine of Torah min hashamayim, divine revelation of the Written and Oral Torah. Acknowledging the influence of geology, astronomy, anthropology, comparative religion, Wissenschaft des Judentums, and Textual Criticism on the development of the Torah, Jacobs argues that one can be objective without any sacrifice of piety if one accepts the premise that "the totality we call Torah is human imbued with the divine." Finally, in the third lecture, Jacobs discusses traditional interpretations of the doctrine of the Chosen People and examines some of the tensions it generates today in terms of interreligious tolerance, the Jewish people and the Jewish state, and the demands of the group versus the needs of the individual. In addition, he contrasts fundamentalist and nonfundamentalist attitudes toward various eschatological idead, advocating a position of "reverent agnosticism" with regard to belief in the Messiah and resurrection of the dead but affirming acceptance of the immortality of the soul as a basic principle of modern Jewish faith.

We can see the injustice and inequality in our lives and in the world. We are ready to rise up. But how, exactly, do we do this? How does one reconcile?

La mediación intercultural en los servicios sanitarios, en tanto en cuanto hace de puente entre culturas y lenguas distintas y, al mismo tiempo, contribuyea crear un entorno de respeto mutuo y de cercania humana, se ha configurado como un elemento esencial de los servicios asistenciales y de los programas preventivos o de promocion de la salud cuando se atiende a una poblacion que presenta diversidad cultural y social.El libro ofrece una vision internacional de diversos enfoques existentes en lamediacion intercultural en la atencion sanitaria. Para ello, aglutina aportaciones de cualificados autores de tres continentes, combinando la presentacionde modelos organizativos para el desarrollo de la mediacion intercultural, estudios empiricos con poblaciones migrantes, el analisis de programas modelicosen este campo y directrices para una practica profesional sanitaria culturalmente competente.En conjunto, los autores de la obra constituyen un equipo multidisciplinar deprofesionales (del campo de la medicina, la enfermeria, la sociologia, la antropologia, la psicologia, el trabajo social, la interpretacion y la propia mediacion intercultural) que desarrollan su labor como gestores del sistema sanitario, como profesionales asistenciales, como profesores universitarios o investigadores, como funcionarios de organismos internacionales, como dirigentes deinstituciones relacionadas con la migracion o las minorias etnicas, o bien como colaboradores de entidades sanitarias y sociales.En definitiva, se trata de una obra que recapitula la experiencia internacional en el campo de la mediacion intercultural, que esta emergiendo como una caracteristica fundamental de la acreditacion de los servicios, asi como de los procesos de mejora de la calidad en los sistemas sanitarios de sociedades diversas.

Según la historiadora de la ciencia Lorraine Daston, la radical incertidumbre y novedad de la pandemia nos retrotrajo a un "grado cero del empirismo", en el que hubo que movilizar todas las capacidades de observacion y reflexion en un territorio que nos resultaba opaco e impredecible, cual calamares que nadan en su propia tinta. La investigacion educativa no estuvo al margen de ese desafio: el cierre de los edificios escolares y el desplazamiento de las practicas educativas a otros escenarios trajo modificaciones muy significativas, que muchos intentaron registrar y documentar tempranamente. En este libro reunimos 30 textos producidos por investigadores consolidados y en formacion del Departamento de Investigaciones Educativas del Cinvestav, que tienen en comun la preocupacion por saber que paso con las practicas escolares durante el largo cierre de edificios escolares que se decreto en respuesta a la pandemia por COVID-19. Si bien estamos empezando a conocer sus efectos, y aun sabiendo que estos seran de largo alcance, estos escritos suman a la produccion existente argumentos y perspectivas que permiten acercarse al analisis de como fue la experiencia escolar en la emergencia, dimensionar sus consecuencias y pensar la escuela a futuro. Muchos de ellos, aunque se revisaron posteriormente, fueron escritos durante el momento mas algido de la pandemia, entre 2021 y 2022, y como tales, dan cuenta de las experiencias de investigadoras, auxiliares de investigacion y estudiantes de posgrado en investigaciones educativas que buscaban comprender lo que estaba sucediendo durante aquel momento. Esto tiene varias implicaciones para el propio campo de la investigacion, cuyas repercusiones tambien apenas empezamos a dimensionar.

Derechos reproductivos: reflexiones interdisciplinarias, producto del grupo de investigación del Programa Universitario de Bioética "Género, Bioética y Justicia reproductiva", presenta la visión interdisciplinaria de 30 expertos que reunen su experiencia en 22 capitulos que conjuntan una invaluable obra de consulta para quienes estan interesados en un tema tan vigente como la inconstitucionalidad de la proteccion a la vida desde la concepcion. Desde sus diferentes especialidades, los autores de la obra presentan en cuatro capitulos la relacion de la Bioetica, los derechos reproductivos y los derechos sexuales; el aborto desde el enfoque juridico, el aborto desde las ciencias sociales, y los derechos reproductivos y sus demandas urgentes. De esta forma, la obra aborda la salud y capacidad reproductiva, el discurso juridico, el acceso a servicios de salud reproductiva, despenalizacion y derecho al aborto seguro, legal y gratuito, la bioetica, el discurso heterosexual, los derechos humanos, la violencia feminicida, la proteccion a la vida desde la concepcion, el discurso de la Suprema Corte de la Nacion, el estigma asociado a la interrupcion del embarazo, la maternidad subrogada, las tecnologias de la reproduccion, la violencia obstetrica y las adultas mayores, asi como la autonomia de las mujeres y las personas gestantes y la esterilizacion forzada. Este analisis tan extenso es resultado del trabajo colectivo, creativo, riguroso y comprometido de cada uno de los autores que hoy ponen a consideracion del lector sus reflexiones interdisciplinarias."

Memoria, violencia, historia: Perspectivas desde las ciencias sociales y la estética examina las consecuencias del pasado violento en el contexto actual y el modo como se trata ese pasado desde el ámbito politico, juridico y etico; pero tambien versa sobre las implicaciones que ese pasado tiene en la vida democratica, en la memoria individual y colectiva de los ciudadanos que habitan sociedades que sufrieron o sufren violencias prolongadas y graves violaciones de derechos humanos.El libro es un esfuerzo por pensar el pasado y dar cuenta de distintas formas en que se expresa la violencia, y responde a la necesidad de elaborar una memoria de ese pasado para hacer justicia a las victimas y contribuir a la no repeticion. Las contribuciones que conforman el libro muestran que sus autores son conscientes de que el imperativo de la no repeticion sigue siendo una promesa incumplida en el presente.No se propone al lector el analisis de un caso en particular, ni una formula consolidada para comprender el pasado, mas bien, se le hace una invitacion abierta a pensar la memoria, la historia, el derecho, la estetica o las imagenes del pasado, en plural; pensar el pasado desde distintas perspectivas teoricas y enfoques disciplinares en un esfuerzo por mostrar la pertinencia del dialogo a partir del supuesto de que no hay pasado concluido y homogeneo.

Este libro recoge el catálogo de las fotos de la Violencia liberal-conservadora de los años cincuenta en Colombia pertenecientes al archivo que, a título personal, construyó Germán Guzmán Campos hasta el final de su vida en 1988. Con este material hemos realizado catorce exposiciones fotograficas en diversos lugares del pais: en el Museo Rayo de Roldanillo; en el Centro de Memoria, Paz y Reconciliacion de Bogota; en la Universidad del Cauca de Popayan; en las sedes regionales de la Universidad del Valle (Zarzal, Buga, Tulua, Palmira, Yumbo, Santander de Quilichao, Buenaventura, Cartago y Caicedonia); en la Sala Mutis de la Biblioteca Mario Carvajal y en la sede de San Fernando en Cali.Las exposiciones tuvieron tres objetivos: (1) provocar la indignacion, (2) motivar a la comprension de lo sucedido y, por esta via, (3) contribuir a su no repeticion. Desarrollar exhaustivamente cada uno de estos puntos es el proposito de este libro, que ha sido construido al ritmo de las conferencias inaugurales de cada una de las exposiciones y de la investigacion realizada durante los ultimos años alrededor de los materiales del archivo.
