O livro de Apocalipse contém algumas das passagens mais difíceis das Escrituras.O comentário de Osborne sobre Apocalipse tem como alvo interpretar o texto e, ao mesmo tempo, apresentar aos leitores as perspectivas da erudiço contemporanea de maneira clara e acessivel. Osborne começa com uma detalhada introduço a Apocalipse e mostra as muitas dificuldades associadas a sua interpretaço.Ele discute a autoria, data da composiço e o ambiente social e cultural da obra. Analisa tambem os elementos que tornam to complexa a interpretaço da literatura apocaliptica, incluindo o uso de simbolos e figuras de linguagem, aluses ao Antigo Testamento e o papel da prediço profetica.O autor analisa diversas abordagens de comentaristas quanto a se Apocalipse se refere principalmente ao passado ou aos eventos que ainda esto no futuro, evitando uma abordagem interpretativa demasiadamente tecnica.Em vez de fazer a exegese do texto de maneira muito restrita, segundo o metodo versiculo por versiculo, ele analisa seçes mais extensas com o intuito de identificar e ressaltar a mensagem central e a teologia ali encontradas.Em todo o livro, ele interage com o melhor da erudiço recente e apresenta suas concluses de maneira acessivel.

Aus einer globalen Perspektive werden Entwicklung und Funktion der Erinnerung an den Holocaust in nationalen und regionalen Kontexten untersucht.Die Erinnerung an den Holocaust ist zentraler Bestandteil des historischen Bewusstseins und der politischen Kultur im wiedervereinigten Deutschland, in Israel und in den USA. Doch lasst sich das auch fur andere Teile der Welt so sagen? Wie haben sich Gesellschaften, die nicht von Besatzung und Vernichtungsmanahmen des NS-Regimes betroffen waren, mit dem Erbe des Holocaust auseinandergesetzt? Wie haben Minderheiten mit einer eigenen Verfolgungserfahrung auf konkrete Erinnerungsakte reagiert? Wie wirkt sich der demografische Wandel auf die Erinnerung aus? In welcher Form haben sich Einwanderer mit der zentralen Bedeutung des Holocaust auseinandergesetzt?Aus einer globalen Perspektive und in unterschiedlichen nationalen und regionalen Kontexten analysieren internationale Experten den weltweiten Wandel des Holocaust-Gedenkens. Die insgesamt vierzehn Fallbeispiele konzentrieren sich auf die Genese und die Funktionen des Gedenkens in Europa, Nord- und Sudamerika, Israel, Nordafrika, Sudafrika und Asien. Im Band werden Widerspruche und Herausforderungen in einem Prozess aufgespurt und diskutiert, der haufig als Globalisierung oder Universalisierung des Holocaust-Gedenkens bezeichnet wird.

"Der modische Faktor, der aller Aktualität innewohnt, entschleiert sich bei genauer Betrachtung als irrational", hält Jean Améry 1971 fest. Erscheine ein bestimmter Autor zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunk

Reconciling the diversity of political cultures, values and national identities with the European integration project is one of the most fundamental challenges contemporary Europe is facing. This challenge is readily apparent in the Baltic Sea region with its mosaic of peoples, cultures and identities. The impact of the ongoing process of European integration on the post-Communist societies on the Eastern rim of the Baltic Sea is indisputable. The negotiations between the European Union and the East European candidate countries were in fact accompanied by a large scale transfer of organizational models and administrative routines designed to protect human rights and promote democracy. But European integration is just one of the challenges confronting countries, which are also engaged in state- and nation-building as well as democratic consolidation. The countries on the Western rim of the Baltic Sea have also been exposed to the increasing pressure of globalization and European integration. The three former Soviet republics of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have been up against yet another challenge. After almost half a century of Soviet tutelage, they now have to engage in independent state- and nation-building. Theoretically, this made Baltic democracy particularly fragile. Yet the Baltic countries have also passed this litmus test. This book may in fact be seen as a tribute to the Baltic democracy. It is different from the democracy in the Nordic countries; it is different from the democracy in neighbouring Central Europe, but it is readily apparent that we are dealing with variations on a common theme.

Identity politics have taken a strong hold on modern society, in particular online on social media platforms. But to what extent have they contributed to human flourishing? Have they changed the world for the better, and to what extent? David Pilgrim explores identity politics as a curates egg: good and bad in parts. The good, that they shine light on topics that may previously have been neglected. The bad, their tendency towards absolutism and premature certainties. The world is nuanced and contradictory, and our awareness of it is highly partial. Identity politics are an inadequate response to that complexity and mystery of life. They take away the need to give free expression to all views, including those we may not only disagree with but might also find offensive. Pilgrim re-establishes a realist objection to strong social constructivist arguments within social science about gender, sexualities, and putative moral panics. This accessible book is a must-read for anyone with an interest in contemporary policy formation or reform. It will appeal to students and professionals from the fields of sociology, politics, social policy, social work, philosophy, mental health, and public health could use this book.

The Body in the Group has been structured around the formation of a group analytic concept of sexuality, using the archaeology of Michel Foucault to move away from psychoanalytic theory, with its association to heteronormativity and pathology, on which group analysis has historically relied. The failure of group analysis to have its own theory of sexuality is, in fact, its greatest potential. It is a psychosocial theory that is able to contain failure in language and gaps in discourse, and, furthermore, can mobilise its creative potential in relation to the discourse of sexuality. Furthermore, using queer theory enables the failure of the term homosexual by disrupting its association to heteronormativity and psychopathology that traditional psychoanalysis has emphasised. The potential of the group analytic matrix to disrupt and change discourse by conceiving of it using figurations and their associated political radicalism within language and discourse permits a radical conception of space and time. Bi-logic removes the potentially unhelpful competitive splits in power associated with the politics of sexuality and gender and, by doing so, enables multiple and contradictory positions of sexuality and gender to be held simultaneously. In addition, group analysis radically alters typical notions of ethics by being able to conceive of a psychosocial form of ethics. Likewise, queer theory raises an awareness for group analysis of the potential violence of its textual representation. Finally, analytic groups are figurations in action when terms such as group polyphony, embodiment, discursive gaps, and norms (or no-norms) are mobilised alongside spatio-temporality and bi-logic. The group analytic literature so far has delimited sexuality and gender by over-reliance on psychoanalysis. Daniel Anderson, by utilising group analytic theory alongside the archaeology of Foucault and feminist, queer and education theory, has created an exciting and innovative way of working with sexuality in a group analysis setting.

Este libro ofrece una serie de reflexiones en torno a los procesos de envejecimiento en nuestras sociedades contemporáneas. La vejez se asocia por lo general a nociones peyorativas ligadas a la decadencia, a la enfermedad, al dolor, a la pasividad y, en ultimo termino, a la muerte. El modelo normativo asociado a la productividad y a la reproduccion hace que se desprecien los cuerpos que ya no cumplen con esos propositos. Los ensayos que articulan este volumen exploran representaciones de la vejez en diversos terrenos artisticos: el cine, la literatura, y el comic y analizan la dedicacion de los medios de comunicacion (las revistas y la radio) a este segmento de la poblacion. Se incluye ademas un ensayo centrado en la articulacion de una propuesta transfeminista y un estudio en torno a la participacion de las mujeres en acontecimientos deportivos. Estas representaciones analizadas en muchos casos acusan los modelos de discriminacion, aislamiento y falta de visibilidad, apoyo social y afectivo hacia las personas mayores, pero a su vez, crean nuevos espacios para la reflexion y el conocimiento y contribuyen a despertar una nueva conciencia en la poblacion en torno al envejecimiento.

Este proyecto de indagación se realiza en las costas del Pacífico colombiano, en una de las regiones más bellas y recónditas a lo largo de su litoral costero y tierras bajas del Cauca: el valle del Patia. En este valle interandino se salvaguarda una tradicion cultural de mas de 200 años: los Carnavales de Negros y Blancos de San Juan de Pasto, declarado por la Unesco como Patrimonio Oral e Immaterial de la Humanidad en el 2009. La investigacion procura exaltar la presencia de las comunidades negras del valle del Patia al sur del pais, su cultura y su folclor como proceso identitario de transformacion de la poblacion afrodescendiente en Colombia evidenciando el reconocimiento, presencia e incursion de estos grupos minoritarios en un espacio transgresor que promueve y representa la memoria viva del Pacifico colombiano, donde se reconstruyen nuevas practicas discursivas diversas y analogas. El Carnaval, manifestacion ancestral que promueve la tradicion y el legado familiar de negros e indigenas de los departamentos del Cauca y Nariño, enaltece la sabiduria de los pueblos y eleva su reconocimiento como baluarte en esta celebracion. Es punto de partida de saberes milenarios incas, africanos y españoles en territorios del sur de Colombia; enmarca lo ritual y ancestral en los andes nariñenses, rescatando los testimonios de practicas orales heredadas de generacion en generacion, y hace manifiesto el espiritu alegre de los pueblos del Patia y del Pacifico de Nariño.

La escasez de monografías en castellano sobre esta materia ha impulsado al autor a elaborar este trabajo con la intención de cumplir dos objetivos. En primer lugar, llevar a cabo una recopilación, organizacion y sintesis de contenidos sobre las relaciones, cada vez mas intensas y fructiferas, entre geografia y cine de ficcion. Tras un capitulo inicial en el que se describe la labor de difusion de imagenes protagonizada por la fotografia del siglo XIX, la obra se adentra en el estudio de las vinculaciones entre el cine y tres categorias fundamentales en geografia como son las de espacio, lugar y paisaje. Finaliza esta primera parte exponiendose las consecuencias, economicas, sociales y territoriales que provoca la filmacion y exhibicion cinematografica de una pelicula, con una atencion preferente al llamado turismo cinematografico. En segundo termino esta obra pretende proporcionar una descripcion, de manera individualizada, de los principales aspectos geograficos en las peliculas de ficcion; ya sean pertenecientes al medio fisico (islas, montañas, rios, bosques, desiertos, catastrofes naturales) o humano (movimientos migratorios, ciudades, actividades productivas). En cada uno de estos capitulos se ofrece un analisis de la manera mediante la cual el cine ha tratado estos componentes geograficos, un estudio de la distribucion de los lugares de rodaje y una relacion de los titulos cinematograficos mas significativos. Los capitulos se acompañan de numerosas figuras y cartografias especificas.

Marshall McLuhan, a pioneering media theorist, explored how media shape perception, society, and culture. His concepts, like the medium is the message and the global village, emphasize media as extensions of human senses that profoundly influence communication and social structures. He analyzed transitions from oral to print culture and the impact of electronic media on thought and interaction. This volume seeks global contributions applying McLuhans theories to AI, digital media, knowledge, creativity, and body-mind relations in todays networked world.In this volume, edited by Lars C. Grabbe, Andrew McLuhan and Tobias Held, scholars from diverse fieldsmedia theory, philosophy, sociology, art, game studies, and moreare examining McLuhans enduring relevance in analyzing contemporary technological and cultural transformations.

Migration is an integral part of human nature. States, however, are still struggling to develop effective strategies towards migration governance. This is especially evident in the case of Mexico and Germany, two countries that have experienced high migratory pressure from 2015 onwards. This study examines migration governance in both countries from a cross-country perspective to draw broader conclusions regarding mitigation strategies of state and non-state actors in different settings. Furthermore, it presents recommendations for action at the level of individual countries and at the global level.Die Entwicklung effektiver Governancestrukturen im Bereich Migration ist eine Herausforderung fur Staaten. Die Studie untersucht die Handlungsstrategien Deutschlands und Mexikos - zwei Lander, die seit 2015 hohem Migrationsdruck ausgesetzt sind. Im Rahmen einer vergleichenden Analyse werden Governanceansatze in unterschiedlichen Kontexten analysiert und Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet.

Las organizaciones están hechas de comunicaciones y es mediante estas que cumplen su importante función social: ofrecer soluciones a los problemas de la sociedad. Pero ¿cómo se comunican realmente las organizaciones? ¿Que ocurre cuando el mensaje no llega, no se entiende o no es aceptado? Este libro, convertido en un clasico de la disciplina, explora esas tres improbabilidades fundamentales que enfrenta toda organizacion. A traves de una escritura clara y un enfoque riguroso, los autores analizan las multiples formas en que se comunican los sistemas sociales, desde la negociacion hasta el marketing, desde las redes sociales hasta las crisis. Con una mirada original inspirada en la teoria de sistemas sociales de Niklas Luhmann, esta nueva edicion, actualizada y ampliada, ofrece herramientas conceptuales y ejemplos practicos para comprender por que, en el mundo actual, cada vez mas incierto y digitalizado, comunicar no solo es improbable, sino esencial.
