Esta publicación agrupa 17 capítulos derivados de trabajos de investigación. La primera parte se enfoca en América Latina e incluye ocho estudios localizados en Argentina, Chile y México. En estos se destaca la necesidad de pensar lo territorial como una categoria en disputa en escenarios sociopoliticos donde el modelo hegemonico de mercado ha impulsado dispositivos de control, practicas privatizadoras o extractivistas. Por lo tanto, para buena parte de las comunidades y movimientos sociales la defensa territorial es una apuesta que articula tanto los esfuerzos para la denuncia y la resistencia, como para la realizacion de acciones que dignifican y transforman las condiciones de vida en los territorios. La segunda parte profundiza en el caso colombiano por medio de nueve capitulos. Un tema persistente en estos es la lucha por la tierra y la denuncia de diversas injusticias territoriales. Lo anterior suele ser acompañado de dificultades como una baja articulacion entre actores (publicos, priva-dos y comunitarios) y escalas territoriales (local, regional y nacional). Asimismo, se identifica una violencia persistente en contra de los lideres sociales, territoriales y ambientales. En este sentido, es relevante el desarrollo de marcos de compresion y accion que permitan que la participacion social y politica trascienda de lo exclusivamente consultivo hacia lo mas decisorio. En contraste, algunas mutaciones señalan que la defensa territorial en el pais, concentrada tradicionalmente en los territorios rurales, tiende a desdoblarse tambien hacia los espacios urbanos y digitales. Por otra parte, emergen igualmente protagonismos de nuevos actores colecti-vos liderados por mujeres, jovenes o grupos interculturales.

Are we destined to merge with the machines weve created? What if the Singularity the moment of merger already happened? How would we know?The King and the Swarm argues that we already have. We did so via an always-on and increasingly omnipresent mesh of digital sensing points that spans the world, and of which you almost certainly have one in your pocket. The global transformation this has wrought reaches far beyond economics, reshaping politics, culture, sex, family, and even consciousness itself.

This engaging work blends wisdom and drama, at times reading like a telenovela and others like a detective chronicle. June Carolyn Erlick, Harvard UniversityIn the 1970s and 80s, while ABC, NBC, and CBS were battling for every screen in America, a Mexican family, together with a shrewd American operator, was quietly building the foundations of a media empire. Facing television magnates like Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch, they achieved the unthinkable: to break into the ruthless competitive world of U.S. media. Later, forced out of the market by political and corporate interests, they formed an alliance as improbable as it was strategic, with none other than the former talent agent of Ronald Reagan, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marlon Brando.This book unravels the personal intrigues, hidden tensions, power plays, and cultural twists behind the media empire now known as Univision, and reveals how its programming including telenovelas, soccer, news, and musicdefined an identity and won over an audience that grew at the same pace as the network.A fascinating tale of ambition, risk, and the dream of giving a voice to millions of Hispanics in the United States, Live from America tells the story of how Spanish-language television forever changed the countrys media landscape.

Have you ever wondered what the most powerful words in history are?The right political slogan, used at the right time by the right party, can have profound consequences on peoples lives. And yet this aspect of political campaigning has been comprehensively overlooked. Thousands of books about politics, marketing and election campaigns are published every year, but none has focused specifically on the election slogan until now.Drawing on a database of more than 20,000 slogans, this groundbreaking book uncovers the remarkable fact that just eight hit words have been central to the successful outcome of most major elections. From Franklin D. Roosevelts New Deal for the American People to Nelson Mandelas A Better Life for All, these potent words have spanned continents and ideologies, toppled governments, ended conflicts, inspired sweeping societal transformations and been echoed by democratic and authoritarian regimes alike.Through exclusive interviews, campaign insights and voter psychology, Eight Words That Changed the World reveals why some words resonate deeply while others fall flat and how their use shapes political outcomes. A single word can mean the difference between victory and failure and the right words deployed at the right time hold the key to power. More than just a study of political messaging, this is a guide for anyone seeking to understand the power of language in changing the world.

For so many decades, Hackney was the pinnacle of the dynamic multicultural spirit of modern Britain, demonstrated by the boroughs vibrant and energetic streets and often controversial political, cultural and socio-economic character. But today, the Hackney that long-standing residents once treasured seems to be disappearing. The boroughs diverse working-class communities who survived the run-down council estates, the overwhelming deprivation and the postcode wars are increasingly being pushed out by the middle classes who buy up their homes, rename their shops and reshape their neighbourhoods.How did Hackney go from being one of the poorest and most uninviting places in the country to being one of the most sought-after locations? In these pages, lifelong resident Richard Yeboah uncovers the boroughs lively history, revealing the uncomfortable story of how gentrification has transformed Hackney, for better or for worse.Examining some of the most contested issues facing the borough today including housing and regeneration, politics, class, race, education, youth violence, culture and gender identity Yeboah amplifies the voices of Hackneys new, existing and former communities and explores the relationship between gentrification and feelings of belonging and loss.From Hackney, With Love is both a unique love letter to one of the most vibrant parts of London and a warning that its very existence is in jeopardy.

Lebanon today is at a fateful crossroads in its eventful socio-cultural and political history. Imperiled by unsettling transformations, from postwar reconstruction and rehabilitation to the forces of postmodernity and globalism, it remains adrift. In this landmark study, Samir Khalaf explores how ordinary citizens, burdened by the consequences of an ugly and unfinished war, persisting regional rivalries, mounting economic deprivation and diminishing prospects for well-being, find meaning and coherence in a society that has not only lost its moorings and direction, but also its sense of control. Khalaf argues that a mood of lethargy and indifference prevails, with a growing tendency for the Lebanese to seek refuge in religiosity, communalism and cloistered spatial identities, or temporary relief in the allure of mass consumerism.

Los métodos visuales, narrativos y creativos de investigación se están convirtiendo actualmente en temas de interés clave. Se reconoce que tienen sin duda el potencial de evocar una comprensión empática de las maneras que tienen otras personas de experimentar sus mundos. El libro examina las practicas y el valor de los enfoques visuales como una herramienta cualitativa en el campo de las Ciencias Sociales y las disciplinas vinculadas a las mismas: antropologia, sociologia, psicologia, educacion y estudios culturales. Aunque se centra en el uso de los enfoques visuales, el uso en el titulo de los terminos narrativos y creativos simboliza el compromiso de incorporar lo visual dentro de marcos mas amplios. Las imagenes visuales, como formas emergentes de divulgacion y creacion, exploran espacios mas alla de los academicos tradicionales. Ademas, buena parte del trabajo creativo se emprende para lograr proyectos de justicia social, tratando de involucrar la emotividad de la audiencia. El libro constituye una lectura esencial para quienes esten interesados en investigar con metodos visuales y creativos participativos. Basandose en una amplia bibliografia clasica y contemporanea, y excelentemente escrito, el libro ofrece a los cientificos sociales ?desde aquellos que estan en los ultimos años de sus estudios de grado hasta los investigadores cualitativos y otros academicos? una guia creativa y accesible sobre las posibilidades y retos de trabajar con estos metodos, con un enfoque multidisciplinar, y con especial atencion a cuestiones ligadas a la teoria, la metodologia, la etica y la difusion de materiales.

Keisai Eisen (1790 -1848) is especially known for his bijin-ga, pretty women, and landscapes. He is well known for his participation in the series 69 stations of the Nakasendo together with Hiroshige. The series A Tokaido Board Game of Courtesans, Fifty-three Pairings in the Yoshiwara use the Tokaido with landscape inserts as an excuse for showing courtesans and geisha, bijin-ga, to skirt the censorship. It was published 1821-1823. His bijin-ga are considered to be masterpieces of the "decadent" Bunsei Era (1818-1830).Most of them have impressive hairdo with many ornamental hairpins and combs. Their dress is extravagant with beautiful patterns and sublime embroideries. Their faces are elongated squares with long noses and small pouted painted mouths. Courtesans were desirable for their rich and splendid attire, not so much for their beauty and their names were actually like trademarks for a series of girls performing the same name role with the brothel in question.

This book shows the 10 Famous Views Of Naniwa (Osaka) by Hiroshige published in 1834. They are unusual in that they show markets with merchants negotiating.The 8 Views is a Chinese artistic and literary theme developed already in the 10th century and then transposed into Japanese culture, where it developed its own independent expression.Print artist Utagawa Hiroshige as many other Japanese artists took up the issue of 8 Views of Omi and again as other Japanese artists he expanded the theme into 8 Views of Kanazawa, 8 Views of Edo Environs and other locations.To give some background there are many other prints included especially about rice but also fishing and transportation, and cultural activities afforded by the wealth accumulated by the merchants. It is possible to travel to see the same sites today.

La historia de la Europa moderna no se entiende sin los flujos de refugiados. Ther bucea en las razones detrás de su huida: intolerancia religiosa, persecución política y nacionalismo radical. A traves de relatos personales ilustra sus dificultades, apunta los factores que condicionan la integracion y analiza los repetidos fiascos de la politica internacional y las lecciones aprendidas tras la Convencion de Ginebra (1951). El humanitarismo, segun nos muestra, fue siempre una postura fragil en el marco de las politicas de refugiados. Ahora que los populismos atizan el temor al fracaso de su integracion, nos recuerda hasta que punto los paises receptores tienden a beneficiarse de su acogida.

2020 Publishers Weekly Book of the Year - Religion Publishers Weekly starred review.The #MeToo movement has revealed sexual abuse and assault in every sphere of society, including the church. But victims are routinely ignored by fellow Christians who deny their accounts and fail to bring accountability to the perpetrators. All too often, churches have been complicit in protecting abusers, reinforcing patriarchal power dynamics, and creating cultures of secrecy, shame, and silence.Pastor and survivor Ruth Everhart shines a light on the prevalence of sexual abuse and misconduct within faith communities. She candidly discloses stories of how she and others have experienced assault in church settings, highlighting the damage done to individuals, families, and communities.Everhart offers hope to survivors as she declares that God is present with the violated and stands in solidarity with victims. Scriptural narratives like those of Tamar and Bathsheba carry powerful resonance in todays context, as do the accounts of Jesus interactions with women. God is at work in the midst of this #MeToo moment to call the church to repentance and deliver us from violence against the vulnerable.
