Hércules de Ediciones afronta un nuevo proyecto que desmenuzará los entresijos de la emigración gallega a lo largo de los últimos siglos a través de todos los continentes. Este primer volumen, dedicado a America del Sur, desgrana el periplo de miles de familias separadas por un Oceano que les prometia una vida mejor. LA EMIGRACION GALLEGA A Sudamerica Tras analizar los siglos coloniales (XVI-XVII) como precedentes historicos de la primera emigracion de los gallegos a America del Sur (siglo XVIII), se entra ya de lleno en el siglo XX y la emigracion masiva que comienza en el litoral de Galicia y se difunde al interior. Para financiar el viaje, el campesinado gallego disponia de algun bien, como la tierra, susceptible de ser vendido o hipotecado; y, una vez iniciado un flujo emigratorio, muchos de los primeros emigrados reclamaron a familiares y vecinos, constituyendo autenticas cadenas emigratorias. Este mecanismo microsocial proporciono medios de informacion, de financiacion y de sociabilidad que facilitaron el periplo emigratorio y la insercion social y laboral de la mayoria de los nuevos emigrantes. El asociacionismo gallego (hermandades, centros gallegos, asociaciones de amigos de una localidad), la solidaridad y las relaciones entre paisanos, la importancia de la emigracion femenina, los exiliados y la integracion en los paises de acogida son aspectos fundamentales que esta obra desgrana a lo largo de sus ocho capitulos, centrados en Argentina como el primer destino, seguido de Uruguay, Brasil, Venezuela, Peru, Chile o Ecuador.

In the Fourth Edition of this bestselling book, John W Creswell and new co-author Cheryl N Poth explore the philosophical underpinnings, history and key elements of each of five qualitative inquiry traditions: narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography and case study - putting them side by side, so that we can see the differences. The authors relate research designs to each of the traditions of enquiry. They compare theoretical frameworks and ways to employ standards of quality, as well as strategies for writing introductions to studies, collecting data, analyzing data, writing a narrative and verifying results.New in this edition:Updated materials on each traditionMore on interpretive frameworks and ethicsMore visual depictions of the five approachesTwo new topical articles in Chapter 5, reproduced in full in the appendices.

In many European labour markets, temporary employment has become a sizeable phenomenon.We know that temporary contracts come with severe socio-economic disadvantages. But do they also affect political views and behaviour? Do temporary workers have distinct policy preferences? Do they lean towards specific parties? Or do they see themselves as politically excluded and respond with protest behaviour or abstention?It is these vital questions that The Political Behaviour of Temporary Workers addresses. Combining insights from psychology, political science and labour market research, it offers new theories and evidence on the political repercussions of temporary jobs, working with original and existing data to analyse social and labour market policy preferences, voting behaviour and levels of trust in politicians.

People with intellectual disability cannot assume that they can speak up for and represent themselves. A host of socially constructed factors act as barriers to their becoming self-advocates. This book analyses the nature of these factors and investigates how the label 'intellectual disability' is understood and interpreted. It also analyses the power imbalance between people with intellectual disability and non-disabled people, an imbalance which leads to the perpetuation of dependence of the former on the latter. The book proposes self-advocacy as a way of providing an environment in which this power imbalance can be redressed, negative perceptions of the label 'intellectual disability' challenged, and independence and autonomy promoted. In this way, contexts can be created in which the voices of people with intellectual disability are heard and valued. Self-advocacy thus enables people with intellectual disability to become more active agents in their own lives with the necessary support.

Command responsibility doctrine allows military commanders and civilian leaders to be held responsible for crimes committed by their subordinates. This form of responsibility has gained much attention in recent years, but it still presents several open questions and critical difficulties arise in its application. Chantal Meloni's in-depth study of the doctrine traces the roots of such criminal responsibility, from its military origins to its first appearances in the international case law after World War II. Particular attention is paid to the jurisprudence of the ad hoc Tribunals, which extensively elaborated on the issue, and to the provision of Article 28 of the ICC Statute. The systematic analysis of command responsibility outlines its different forms and finds it a proper role within the complex net of responsibilities related to the commission of international crimes.

This book brings together essays on game history and historiography that reflect on the significance of locality. Game history did not unfold uniformly and the particularities of space and place matter, yet most digital game and software histories are silent with respect to geography. Topics covered include: hyper-local games; temporal anomalies in platform arrival and obsolescence; national videogame workforces; player memories of the places of gameplay; comparative reception studies of a platform; the erasure of cultural markers; the localization of games; and perspectives on the future development of local game history.

Per primera vegada el més essencial de l'obra del gran escriptor de Sueca es presenta aplegat, i amb molts textos que son una autentica revelacio. El primer dels dos volums conte tots els llibres d'aquest genere que Fuster va publicar en vida: El descredit de la realitat, Les originalitats, Tres notes marginals, Diccionari per a ociosos, L'home, mesura de totes les coses, Examen de consciencia, Babels i Babilonies i Sagitari, mes dotze textos aplegats sota el titol L'assaig dispers. El segon volum compren tot l'assaig seriat, es a dir, aquells articles que Fuster va publicar en un gran nombre de diaris i revistes sota una mateixa rubrica de seccio: Restriccions mentals, Passar el dia, empenyer l'any, Noticies del sud, Notes d'un desficios, Entre l'espasa i la paret, Una dotzena justa i Digestions temporals. Son prop de mil pagines mai abans recollides en llibre, que ha calgut inventariar i transcriure, i que constitueixen una aportacio fonamental a la difusio de l'obra fusteriana. Tots dos volums es completen amb un apendix dels curadors, que donen claricies sobre les fonts dels textos i, quan es necessari, els anoten.

Mark J.P. Wolfs study of imaginary worlds theorizes world-building within and across media, including literature, comics, film, radio, television, board games, video games, the Internet, and more. Building Imaginary Worlds departs from prior approaches to imaginary worlds that focused mainly on narrative, medium, or genre, and instead considers imaginary worlds as dynamic entities in and of themselves. Wolf argues that imaginary worldswhich are often transnarrative, transmedial, and transauthorial in natureare compelling objects of inquiry for Media Studies. Chapters touch on: a theoretical analysis of how world-building extends beyond storytelling, the engagement of the audience, and the way worlds are conceptualized and experienced a history of imaginary worlds that follows their development over three millennia from the fictional islands of Homers Odyssey to the present internarrative theory examining how narratives set in the same world can interact and relate to one another an examination of transmedial growth and adaptation, and what happens when worlds make the jump between media an analysis of the transauthorial nature of imaginary worlds, the resulting concentric circles of authorship, and related topics of canonicity, participatory worlds, and subcreations relationship with divine Creation Building Imaginary Worlds also provides the scholar of imaginary worlds with a glossary of terms and a detailed timeline that spans three millennia and more than 1,400 imaginary worlds, listing their names, creators, and the works in which they first appeared.

This book unlocks an understanding of video games as virtual travel. It explains how video game design increasingly takes cues from the promotional language of tourism, and how this connection raises issues of power and commodification.Bridging the disciplinary gap between game and tourism studies, the book offers a comprehensive account of touristic gazing in games such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Minecraft, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Traveling through video games involves a mythological promise of open-ended opportunity, summarized in the slogan you can go there. Van Nuenen discusses the scale of game worlds, the elusive nature of freedom and control, and the pivotal role of work in creating a sense of belonging. The logic of tourism is fundamentally consumptivebut through design choices, players can also be invited to approach their travels more critically. This is the difference between moving through a game world, and being moved by it.This interdisciplinary and innovative study will interest students and scholars of digital media studies, game studies, tourism and technology, and the Digital Humanities.

Es muy probable que este estudio contribuya a reenfocar completamente la historiografía de futura de la filosofía mundial. Se propone elaborar una teoría sobre cómo se produce el cambio intelectual, la sucesion de las ideas dominantes en una sociedad. El autor trabaja en dos niveles: el analisis exhaustivo de los grupos filosoficos que han dominado el pensamiento de mundo, y los progresos en el discurso filosofico que llega a la sociedad y esta adopta. La conjuncion de ambos planos ofrece una introduccion elegante y esplendidamente formulada a la sociologia de la filosofia para muchas de las principales epocas historicas y culturales, algo que abre paso a una perspectiva renovada de la filosofia mundial. Pero el nivel de significacion mas duradero es la concepcion teorica que subyace a la teoria, que probablemente revolucionara la manera de entender la evolucion del trabajo intelectual a lo largo de generaciones. Servira, tambien, para empezar a vislumbrar respuestas a la persistente pregunta sobre como se produce el cambio intelectual y como se asientan los paradigmas dominantes de pensamiento en una sociedad. El autor desautoriza dos mitos heredados, a saber, que las ideas fluyen ya definidas desde las mentes de un reducido numero de grandes pensadores, y que son creaciones de una determinada cultura. Collins demuestra, contrariamente, que la principal fuente de innovacion de las ideas se encuentra en la interaccion de los rituales y discursos sociales en el seno de los pequeños grupos y redes de pensadores, donde estos experimentan con formas ideacionales emergentes.
