Challenges for Human Rights
Author: Fernando Falcón y Tella
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9047420411
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Nowadays we are fortunate enough to be experiencing a boom in human rights - an enormous increase of their importance in the international sphere at all levels (political, economic, social, legal and moral). For the first time the condition of the individual as “citizen,” and not just as “subject,” has gained importance. Individuals, and not only states, have now become the subjects of international law, as a result of the boom in humanitarian law and international criminal law. However, although there have been many battles won and goals met concerning human rights, the war against injustice continues and the fight has not ended. It is necessary to stay alert and to avoid a potentially paralyzing self-complacency. This collection focusses on topics that are particularly relevant for the present era. It examines issues such as multiculturalism, globalization, international criminal justice (specifically third and fourth generation rights) and, within this thematic framework, the problems that have come about as a result of the expanding reach of the Internet and of new biomedical advances. In addition, it explores the increasingly urgent challenge of how to respond to international terrorism, in view of worldwide events since September 11, 2001, and its resulting aftermath. Originally published in Spanish, this thought-provoking collection will be of interest to human rights scholars and practitioners alike.

GLOBALIZATION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 21st CENTURY
Author: José María Franquet Bernis
Publisher: José María Franquet Bernis
ISBN: 8409305062
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
Globalization, as the dominant force that it is, in the last decade of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st has shaped a new era in the interaction between nations, economies and peoples. But it has also fragmented production processes, labor markets, political entities and societies. At the supranational level, there is no political and regulatory counterweight to monitor this process and correct, in a fair and equitable way, the dangerous abuses that may derive from it. The logic of the global economy is deeply contradictory. It is based on the bases of speed, risk, creativity, but also on impunity in the international order, since there are no mechanisms to regulate and control the collective interests of humanity. But, above all, this logic is installed on the principle of the insecurity of people, particularly those in poor countries and sectors. Production is transferred from high-wage countries to those with low wages without entailing benefits for those countries, speculation is carried out in the financial market without considering the dangerous consequences, except for capital itself, cultural and consumption patterns are disrupted, and irreversible damage occurs to the ecological base of the planet, without concern for future generations.

Post-Global Aesthetics
Author: Gesine Müller
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110762218
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
Phenomena such as the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, or the surge of political populism show that the current phase of accelerated globalization is over. New concepts are needed in order to respond to this exhaustion of the global project: the volume scrutinizes these responses in the aesthetic realm and under a "post-global" banner, while incorporating alternative, non-Western epistemologies and literatures of the post-colonial Global South.

Past and Power: Public Policies on Memory. Debates, from Global to Local
Author: Jordi Guixé
Publisher: Edicions Universitat Barcelona
ISBN: 8447539938
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 489
Book Description
The public authorities have not successfully resolved the management of the traumatic memory of the wars, dictatorships and massacres to which the European project was always intended to be a counterpoint. The conflict of memories and the public discourses about the past are latent on ideological, political and cultural levels. However, if in the past the conflict concerning memories tended to develop inside the borders of countries, it has now leapt into the European arena. This has also led to the confrontation and questioning of the great narratives established in the common memory, especially with countries of the East joining the European Union. Each community, group or nation maintains common memories that do not always fit in or converge with a general overall account. The origins of the UB Solidarity Foundation’s European Observatory on Memories lie in these debates, and through this book — which includes the contributions of specialists in multiple disciplines and the speeches that were given at the first international symposium, “Memory and Power: A Transnational Perspective” — it hopes to present some of the key challenges that this conflict of memories has in store for us in the present and in the future.

Inequality and Uncertainty
Author: Marta Smagacz-Poziemska
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9813291621
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
It is not possible to ignore the fact that cities are not only moving, vibrant and flourishing spaces, promising hope for better quality of life, but that they also accumulate and reflect significant problems. This book explores the relational and dynamic nature of urban inequalities, including their visible and invisible forms. By using the rather elusive term of ‘uncertainty’, the authors zoom in on specific aspects of urban inequalities that are difficult to measure, yet are acutely sensed and experienced by people and, more and more often, perceived as unfair. Here, in the recognition of inequalities as unjust and in the disagreement with the status quo, lies a positive aspect of uncertainty, which can lead to a social awakening and more active citizenship.

Creativity and Time: A Sociological Exploration
Author: Juan A. Roche Cárcel
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030848388
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
This book defends that the pursuit of originality constitutes one of the most important characteristics of creativity, but that originality refers, etymologically, to both origin and originary. Hence, the book is structured into two parts, dedicated, respectively, to the creative categories of origin and the creative categories of originary. Within the former are creation myths, games – the origin of all cultural activity, the dialectic chaos-order, axial civilizations – the germ of our time, and the struggle between generations – a factor of social transformation, and, within the second, creative capitalism, creative work in the context of the global economy of risk and uncertainty, and representative democracy. However, these two concepts are not isolated, but deeply interrelated, in a way that explains how creative originality builds a temporal narrative. It has been dislocated in late modernity and, with it, creativity has been broken.
