Book Description
La Nueva Contribución a la Crítica de la Educación, del profesor Villegas, expone lo que llama inhibidores del aprendizaje y propone cómo podría ayudar a superarlos el aprendizaje basado en problemas. Establece con mayor fundamentación los principios de la teoría de la educación interactiva: la inversión copernicana en educación que cambia el sentido unilateral y vertical maestro-alumno del flujo conocimiento, el principio de educar por omisión que libera la mente del alumno de creencias y dogmas y, especialmente, de lo que llama la alienación epistemológica o falta de confianza en la propia capacidad de pensamiento, y el principio de conocer como acción-cognición con el concepto del sujeto de aprendizaje como receptos pero también como productor de conocimiento. El tema principal de la obra es el aprendizaje basado en problemas y el Sistema ABP, pero en el capítulo IV siembra lo que llama el germen de la universidad-proyecto y de la sociedad que se da un modelo educativo conformado por la tríada mente-escuela-sociedad. Fiel a su propio principio de que conocer es crear y que crear es hacer primero, tomados el primero del maestro mexicano Guillermo Héctor Rodríguez, y el segundo de la epistemología japonesa, baja sus teorías del cielo a la tierra e inicia una aventura editorial propia con la preparación y publicación de compendios que contienen lo esencial de cada disciplina, "lo que no puede dejar de saberse", para educación media y primera mitad de superior. Invita además a los maestros, al diseño de contenidos no lineales con los principios de la educación interactiva porque está consciente de que la formación de trabajadores del conocimiento, como se les llama, es una cuestión estratégica de supervivencia para cualquier sociedad y especialmente para las que están en vías de desarrollo y sufren los embates de la globalización financiera sin prevenirse contra ella.

Book Description
In Culture and Society in Medieval Galicia, twenty-three international authors examine Galicia’s changing place in Iberia, Europe, and the Mediterranean and Atlantic worlds from late antiquity through the thirteenth century. With articles on art and architecture; religion and the church; law and society; politics and historiography; language and literature; and learning and textual culture, the authors introduce medieval Galicia and current research on the region to medievalists, Hispanists, and students of regional culture and society. The cult of St. James, Santiago Cathedral, and the pilgrimage to Compostela are highlighted and contextualized to show how Galicia’s remoteness became the basis for a paradoxical centrality in medieval art, culture, and religion. Contributors are Jeffrey A. Bowman, Manuel Castiñeiras, James D'Emilio, Thomas Deswarte, Pablo C. Díaz, Emma Falque, Amélia P. Hutchinson, Amancio Isla, Henrik Karge, Melissa R. Katz, Michael Kulikowski, Fernando López Sánchez, Luis R. Menéndez Bueyes, William D. Paden, Francisco Javier Pérez Rodríguez, Ermelindo Portela, Rocío Sánchez Ameijeiras, Adeline Rucquoi, Ana Suárez González, Purificación Ubric, Ramón Villares, John Williams †, and Roger Wright.

Book Description
The Borgia Family: Rumor and Representation explores the historical and cultural structures that underpin the early modern Borgia family, their notoriety, and persistence and reinvention in the popular imagination. The book balances studies focusing on early modern observations of the Borgias and studies deconstructing later incarnations on the stage, on the page, on the street, and on the screen. It reveals how contemporary observers, later authors and artists, and generations of historians reinforced and perpetuated both rumor and reputation, ultimately contributing to the Borgia Black Legend and its representations. Focused on the deeds and posthumous reputations of Pope Alexander VI and his children, Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia, the volume charts the choices made by the family and contextualizes them amid contemporary expectations and reactions. Extending beyond their deaths, it also investigates how the Borgias became emblems of anti-Catholic and anti-Spanish criticism in the later early modern period and their residing reputation as the best and worst of the Renaissance. Exploring a spectrum of traditional and modern media, The Borgia Family contextualizes both Borgia deeds and their modern representations to analyze the family’s continuing history and meaning in the twenty-first century. It will be of great interest to researchers and students working on interdisciplinary aspects of the Renaissance and early modern Italy.

Book Description
Beginning with Number 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research underway in specialized areas.

Book Description
This handbook highlights innovative and affect-driven feminist dialogues that inspire social work practice, education, and research across the globe. The editors have gathered the many (at times silenced) feminist voices and their allies together in this book which reflects current and contested feminist landscapes through 52 chapters from leading feminist social work scholars from the many branches and movements of feminist thought and practice. The breadth and width of this collection encompasses work from diverse socio-political contexts across the globe including Central and South America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia. The book is divided into six parts as follows: • Decoloniality, Indigeneity and Radical Theorising • Feminist Social Work in Fields of Practice • Academy and Feminist Research • The Politics of Care • Allyship, Profeminisms and Queer Perspectives • Social Movements, Engaging with the Environment and the More-than-Human The above sections present the diverse feminisms that have influenced social work which provides a range of engaging, informative and thought-provoking chapters. These chapters highlight that feminists still face the battle of working towards ending gender-based violence, discrimination, exploitation and oppression, and therefore it is urgent that we feature the many contemporary examples of activism, resistance, best practice and opportunities to emphasise the different ways feminisms remain central to social work knowledge and practice. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of social work and related disciplinary areas including the social and human sciences, global and social politics and policy, human rights, environmental and sustainability programmes, citizenship and women’s studies.

Book Description
Achieving peace is often thought about in terms of military operations or state negotiations. Yet it also happens at the grassroots level, where communities envision and create peace on their own. The San José de Apartadó Peace Community of small-scale farmers has not waited for a top-down peace treaty. Instead, they have actively resisted forced displacement and co-optation by guerrillas, army soldiers, and paramilitaries for two decades in Colombia’s war-torn Urabá region. Based on ethnographic action research over a twelve-year period, Christopher Courtheyn illuminates the community’s understandings of peace and territorial practices against ongoing assassinations and displacement. San José’s peace through autonomy reflects an alternative to traditional modes of politics practiced through electoral representation and armed struggle. Courtheyn explores the meaning of peace and territory, while also interrogating the role of race in Colombia’s war and the relationship between memory and peace. Amid the widespread violence of today’s global crisis, Community of Peace illustrates San José’s rupture from the logics of colonialism and capitalism through the construction of political solidarity and communal peace.

Book Description
This collection of essays offers alternative readings of historical and literary texts produced during Latin America's colonial period. By considering the political and ideological implications of the texts' interpretation yesterday and today, it attempts to "decolonize" the field of Latin American studies and promote an ethical, interdisciplinary practice that does not falsify or appropriate knowledge produced by both the colonial subjects of the past and the oppressed subjects of the present. Using recent developments in postcolonial theory, the contributors challenge traditional approaches to Hispanism. The colonial situation under which these texts were composed, with all its injustices and prejudices, still lingers, and most studies have consistently avoided the connection between this colonial legacy and the situation of disenfranchised groups today. Colonialism Past and Present challenges discursive strategies that celebrate only European cultural traits, dismiss non-European cultural legacies, and solidify constructions of national projects considered natural extensions of European civilization since independence from Spain.

Book Description
Some people often use to say that in life we have few privileges. However, most of them fail to measure the greatness of simple, or apparently simple, things like seeing, reading, feeding ourselves, being able to access health services, education, justice, freedom. That simple word contains what, in my opinion, is the greatest wealth we can possess. Freedom to move, think and express ourselves, love and choose who we love. Even destroy or destroy us. This book has made me think about the exercise of freedom, about the way in which the world acts and how we act in it, almost without awareness of what we do, about the way in which we are free to associate, relate and therefore, Freedom forces us (paradoxically) to exercise it within the limits of rationality and responsibility with ourselves and with the planet we inhabit. After all, we have nowhere else to go. What need do we have to establish boundaries, to separate ourselves more each day from the other? Have we ever stopped to think about what the world would be like if we were aware that we could be one, although diverse? This book, like almost never before, has brought me to that point. Dreams, the place of freedom par excellence, can come true if we fight for them with determination. World Citizenship is a possible dream. The articles - chapters that make up this book guide us towards the awakening of individual and collective conscience which, ultimately, is what is desirable, so that we can be citizens of the world, a phrase that has been heard or read many times, but not has been sufficiently well presented or considered. This is a happy exception. The social, economic, cultural, ethnic, and political aspects are addressed clearly, with a language and style that makes it easy to be read and understood. This is not intended to be a book of dogma, but rather a proposal to begin the path towards a better future, built by everyone, compiling the contributions of different visions but that focuses on the Human Being, in our home. Planet Earth. Great progress has already been seen in regional and even international, intercultural, political and economic agreements, which are good, but not so good in terms of the production, distribution, sale and purchase of weapons, substances that, in some parts, are members of the cultural acquis and in others they are considered illegal. These phenomena could well be explained from the perspective of Habermas, Bauman, and others, even at the risk of falling into simplism and/or deterministic reductionism. We are all one, respect for otherness is the key for freedom to be established and thus, the “Global Village” can overcome the crises in which it is immersed, many times due to failures in communication and absence of empathy; the pretension of wanting to impose ideas on others, to dominate through force and not with the force of reason. This is the origin of many unnecessary conflicts. This text is not about proposing a unified vision of Orwell and Huxley, but rather about understanding that we can be united in diversity, as the Baha'i principles clearly state, to cite a current of thought. It is in the communication where we have the best tool to forge a global society, where we can agree on the common goals of the survival and preservation of our habitat, with all that this implies. We have used it efficiently and we have succeeded. Or we have almost achieved it. The creation of blocs such as the European Community, Mercosur, the Arab League, and others, has made it possible to bring together communities similar in thought and interests and thus become stronger to negotiate, assert their rights and defend themselves against possible attacks. However, will it be possible that all groupings can ever be governed by a global control body? Any reader who approaches the text will soon find themselves reflecting on themselves and what they can contribute to improve from within and towards the environment, analyzing concepts such as Globalization and Worlding. It is like a ticket to the world of self- and collective consciousness, allowing you to finally answer whether global citizenship is a possible dream and, if you believe so, set yourself the task of making it a reality. This book does not pretend to be the last word on the issues raised, but it does show us a possible roadmap and, as a conscious reader, I feel obliged to reflect on what I have read, what I have learned, what I can put into practice to make the world a better place, if not already for me, for generations to come.
