Book Description
Las palabras encierran un tesoro oculto. Este libro abre el cofre que lo contiene. Baste un par de ejemplos para apreciarlo: la raíz latina vis produjo dos vocablos opuestos: “virtud” y “violencia”; lo que supone la misma energía encauzada de forma diferente. Por su parte, “camaleón” proviene del griego “león que se arrastra” e indica que la fuerza no radica en la furia, sino en la astucia para pasar desapercibido. Dichos análisis, y otros, se presentan en esta fascinante y aleccionadora obra.

Book Description
Alena Ledeneva invites you on a voyage of discovery, to explore society’s open secrets, unwritten rules and know-how practices. Broadly defined as ‘ways of getting things done’, these invisible yet powerful informal practices tend to escape articulation in official discourse. They include emotion-driven exchanges of gifts or favours and tributes for services, interest-driven know-how (from informal welfare to informal employment and entrepreneurship), identity-driven practices of solidarity, and power-driven forms of co-optation and control. The paradox, or not, of the invisibility of these informal practices is their ubiquity. Expertly practised by insiders but often hidden from outsiders, informal practices are, as this book shows, deeply rooted all over the world, yet underestimated in policy. Entries from the five continents presented in this volume are samples of the truly global and ever-growing collection, made possible by a remarkable collaboration of over 200 scholars across disciplines and area studies. By mapping the grey zones, blurred boundaries, types of ambivalence and contexts of complexity, this book creates the first Global Map of Informality. The accompanying database is searchable by region, keyword or type of practice, so do explore what works, how, where and why! Praise for The Global Encyclopaedia of Informality ‘The Global Encyclopaedia of Informality represents the beginning of a new era in informality studies. With its wealth of information, diversity, scope, theoretical innovation and artistic skill, this collection touches on all the aspects of social and cultural complexity that need to be integrated into policy thinking.’ Predrag Cveti?anin, Centre for Empirical Cultural Studies of South-East Europe, Belgrade, Serbia ‘This is a monumental achievement – an indispensable reference for anyone in the social sciences interested in informality.’ Martin Holbraad, Professor of Social Anthropology, UCL, and editor-in-chief of Social Analysis ‘This impressive work helps us understand our complex times by showing how power develops through informal practices, mobilizing emotional, cognitive and relational mechanisms in strategies of survival, but also of camouflage and governance.’ Donatella della Porta, Director of Centre of Social Movements Studies, Scuola normale superiore, Firenze, Italy ‘An impressive, informative, and intriguing collection. With evident passion and patience, the team of 250 researchers insightfully portrays the multiplicity of informal and often invisible expressions of human interdependence.’ Subi Rangan, Professor of Strategy and Management, INSEAD, Fontainebleau, France ‘This compendium of terms used in different cultures to express aspects of informal economy provides a unique supplement to studies of a major (yet understated by academic economics) social issue. It will be of key significance for in-depth teaching of sociology, economics and history.’ Teodor Shanin, OBE Professor and President of the Moscow School of Social and Economic Sciences ‘Modern states have sought to curb, control and subdue informality. The entries in the Global Encyclopaedia demonstrate the endurance of informality over such efforts. More recently, the rise and political success of anti-establishment movements in so many parts of the world is a wide-ranging challenge and delegitimisation of national and transnational formal institutions of governance. Understanding the perceived shortcomings of formal institutions and the appeal of anti-establishment movements must at least in part be informed by a study of informality and its networks. This Encyclopaedia is essential reading if we wish to understand and engage with these challenges of our age.’ Fredrik Galtung, Chairman, Integrity Action

Book Description
En este nuevo libro Daniel Balmaceda aumenta su colección sobre el origen de las palabras. Con términos novedosos y que hacen al contexto en el que vivimos (como deadline, free-lance o target), hasta el origen de la palabra "cuarentena" que tanto utilizamos en este año. Sin embargo, no deja de lado ciertas frases que utilizamos en la Argentina, como "Quedar en Pampa y la vía", o los maravillosos epónimos, un género en sí mismos. Daniel Balmaceda vuelve a fascinarnos con la historia de las palabras, desde las que empezaron a formar parte de nuestro vocabulario en los últimos tiempos (como deadline, free-lance, target) hasta frases que usamos sin saber muy bien qué significan ("Quedar en Pampa y la vía"). En el recorrido, nos descubre secretos de la historia universal y de sus curiosos personajes. El apasionante origen de las palabras actualiza las más divertidas anécdotas de Historia de las palabras e Historias de letras, palabras y frases con novedosas definiciones. Como dice el autor, la palabra es una herramienta poderosa y admirable. Indagar en su historia es sumergirnos en nuestra propia historia. Y nadie mejor que Daniel Balmaceda para guiarnos en esta travesía.
