Book Description
El área de los movimientos sociales constituye una perspectiva clave para el análisis de los conflictos que se multiplican en los países avanzados porque permite vincular el nivel abstracto desde el que suele formularse su interpretación con datos empíricos sobre las organizaciones y los actores que las protagonizan. Al comienzo de los años noventa, el papel central de los movimientos sociales en la brusca transformación de los sistemas comunistas en los países de Europa del Este de Europa representó un desafío a las teorías prevalecientes en este campo, que no permitían unas explicaciones satisfactorias de los hechos, al tiempo que mostró sus dificultades para precedir estos fenómenos. En Occidente, el desafío que ha supuesto el surgimiento de nuevas formas de acción colectiva constituye un fenómeno paralelo al declive del movimiento obrero. Este desafío es abordado en este libro, y es conceptualizado como un positivo "impacto epitemológico" de los movimientos sociales contemporáneos, ya que ha contribuido al desarrollo de éste área de estudio y a la creciente influencia de las perspectivas constructivistas compartidas por la mayoría de los autores. El libro se ocupa de las principales cuestiones planteadas por los cambios en las formas de acción colectiva y contiene datos e ideas que permiten entenderlos mejor.

The Invisible Sex
Author: J. M. AdovasioPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1315418088
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Shaped by cartoons and museum dioramas, our vision of Paleolithic times tends to feature fur-clad male hunters fearlessly attacking mammoths while timid women hover fearfully behind a boulder. Recent archaeological research has shown that this vision bears little relation to reality. J. M. Adovasio and Olga Soffer, two of the world's leading experts on perishable artifacts such as basketry, cordage, and weaving, present an exciting new look at prehistory. With science writer Jake Page, they argue that women invented all kinds of critical materials, including the clothing necessary for life in colder climates, the ropes used to make rafts that enabled long-distance travel by water, and nets used for communal hunting. Even more important, women played a central role in the development of language and social life—in short, in our becoming human. In this eye-opening book, a new story about women in prehistory emerges with provocative implications for our assumptions about gender today.

Developing New Identities in Social Conflicts
Author: Esperanza Morales-LópezPublisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company
ISBN: 9027265674
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
Conflicts are inherent to human society, but most of them do not concern us directly as participants or eyewitnesses. How we see social conflicts depends on how they are presented to us. This volume gathers together writings by contemporary specialists in different fields, from different backgrounds, cultures and locations, but united by a common thread: the conviction that history and current affairs are constructed and presented, not according to the facts themselves, but according to media, culture, politics, gender, religion and other factors.
"Complicity with Evil"
Author: Adam LeBorPublisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300135149
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
From the killing fields of Rwanda and Srebrenica a decade ago to those of Darfur today, the United Nations has repeatedly failed to confront genocide. This is evinced, author and journalist Adam LeBor maintains, in a May 1995 document from Yasushi Akashi, the most senior UN official in the field during the Yugoslav wars, in which he refused to authorize air strikes against the Serbs for fear they would “weaken” Milosevic. More recently, in 2003, urgent reports from UN officials in the Sudan detailing atrocities from Darfur were ignored for a year because they were politically inconvenient. This book is the first to examine in detail the crucial role of the Secretariat, its relationship with the Security Council, and the failure of UN officials themselves to confront genocide. LeBor argues the UN must return to its founding principles, take a moral stand and set the agenda of the Security Council instead of merely following the lead of the great powers. LeBor draws on dozens of firsthand interviews with UN officials, current and former, and such international diplomats as Madeleine Albright, Richard Holbrooke, Douglas Hurd, and David Owen.This book will set the terms for discussion when UN Secretary General Kofi Annan steps down to make room for a new head of the world body, and political observers assess Annan’s legacy and look to the future of the world organization.
