Los sistemas pedagógicos continúan en crisis. Una crisis humana que amenaza con nunca acabar. En esta obra, se argumenta, que una de las razones principales de las crisis educativas se debe a que los procesos pedagógicos han centrado la atención en el desarrollo cognoscitivo, principalmente, y han dejado de lado al cuerpo y sus emociones. La pedagogía de lo corporal propuesta por el Dr. Sergio López Ramos, muestra un camino esperanzador y encausa a la educación al aprendizaje por medio del cuerpo, concibiéndolo como un espacio en donde el individuo tiene posibilidades de construir nuevas formas de vivir en armonía consigo mismo y con los otros. Para que el ser humano alcance una mejor calidad de vida en esta época global y postmoderna. La autora incursiona en la pedagogía de lo corporal del Dr. López Ramos con la metodología de historia de las ideas y logra exponer la propuesta de abrigar una nueva epistemología del cuerpo y las emociones en los procesos educativos.

The changes to Maya culture imposed by Franciscan friars and Spanish lords worked to unravel the networks of personal ties that had empowered the highest Maya lords, and political power devolved to second-tier Maya lords. By 1600 Spanis...

Revolution in Mexico sought to subordinate church to state and push the church out of public life. Nevertheless, state and church shared a concern for the nation's social problems. Until the breakdown of church-state cooperation in 1926, they ignored the political chasm separating them to address those problems through education in order to instill in citizens a new sense of patriotism, a strong work ethic, and adherence to traditional gender roles. This book examines primary, vocational, private, and parochial education in Mexico City from 1917 to 1926 and shows how it was affected by the relations between the revolutionary state and the Roman Catholic Church. One of the first books to look...

One night in December 1800, in the distant mission outpost of San Antonio in northern Mexico, Eulalia Californio and her lover Primo plotted the murder of her abusive husband. While the victim was sleeping, Prio and his brother tied a rope around Juan Californio's neck.

After Juan Californio suffocated, Eulalia ran to the mission and reported that her husband had choked while chewing tobacco. Suspicious, the mission priests reported the crime to the authorities in charge of the nearest presidio. For historians, spousal murders are significant for w...
