Book Description
Este libro se hace eco de la dimensión trágica que atraviesa la historia humana, dimensión tan persistente que hace pensar en una categoría antropológica. Guerras y terrorismos obstinados despiertan talantes existencialistas y postmodernos. Las pedagogías nacidas en tales momentos son individualistas y agnósticas. Lo efímero prevalece por encima de lo consistente. El libro da a conocer las producciones de la historia occidental que se han inscrito en el Existencialismo y en la Postmodernidad a fin de tener pistas con las que orientarse en pedagogía. Profesores y alumnos de carreras de Humanidades, particularmente de ciencias de la Educación, son los primeros interesados en la temática.

Crystals, Fabrics, and Fields
Author: Donna Jeanne Haraway
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781556434747
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Acclaimed theorist and social scientist Donna Jeanne Haraway uses the work of pioneering developmental biologists Ross G. Harrison, Joseph Needham, and Paul Weiss as a springboard for a discussion about a shift in developmental biology from a vitalism-mechanism framework to organicism. The book deftly interweaves Thomas Kuhn's concept of paradigm change into this wide-ranging analysis, emphasizing the role of model, analogy, and metaphor in the paradigm and arguing that any truly useful theoretical system in biology must have a central metaphor.

The Long, Lingering Shadow
Author: Robert J. Cottrol
Publisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 0820344761
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Students of American history know of the law’s critical role in systematizing a racial hierarchy in the United States. Showing that this history is best appreciated in a comparative perspective, The Long, Lingering Shadow looks at the parallel legal histories of race relations in the United States, Brazil, and Spanish America. Robert J. Cottrol takes the reader on a journey from the origins of New World slavery in colonial Latin America to current debates and litigation over affirmative action in Brazil and the United States, as well as contemporary struggles against racial discrimination and Afro-Latin invisibility in the Spanish-speaking nations of the hemisphere. Ranging across such topics as slavery, emancipation, scientific racism, immigration policies, racial classifications, and legal processes, Cottrol unravels a complex odyssey. By the eve of the Civil War, the U.S. slave system was rooted in a legal and cultural foundation of racial exclusion unmatched in the Western Hemisphere. That system’s legacy was later echoed in Jim Crow, the practice of legally mandated segregation. Jim Crow in turn caused leading Latin Americans to regard their nations as models of racial equality because their laws did not mandate racial discrimination— a belief that masked very real patterns of racism throughout the Americas. And yet, Cottrol says, if the United States has had a history of more-rigid racial exclusion, since the Second World War it has also had a more thorough civil rights revolution, with significant legal victories over racial discrimination. Cottrol explores this remarkable transformation and shows how it is now inspiring civil rights activists throughout the Americas.

Insularismo
Author: Antonio S. Pedreira
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781932982404
Category : National characteristics, Puerto Rican
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Cultural Writing. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Aoife Rivera Serrano. The first and only English translation of the Latin American classic, INSULARISMO, the first book to critique the primary influences that shaped Puerto Rican culture and the Puerto Rican character. Considered to be the most influential book ever penned on the Puerto Rican experience, it is seen as the most controversial product of Puerto Rican discourse in the aftermath of the U.S. invasion. The questions and issues Pedreira raised still beg to be addressed today. A subjective primer, it was written by the benchmark critic of his generation, on the Latin Americans who constituted the first great wave of Spanish-speaking immigrants to the eastern United States. INSULARISMO is a canonical text that is an important contribution to the ongoing debate, not just on Puerto Rican politics and culture but on the culture and politics of our hemisphere.
