Representaciones sociales y contextos de investigación con perspectiva de género
En este libro se exponen diversas contribuciones de investigación social en contextos específicos. Se plantean reflexiones críticas acerca de fenómenos emergentes en la cultura y su dinámica de interacción multicausal, en su gran mayoría, desde una perspectiva de género. Cada colaboración expone su propia epistemología y aplicación metodológica, por lo que contribuye al avance de campos específicos de conocimiento y, por lo tanto, a una forma de comprender y articular categorías de análisis y promisorias en sus propios contextos de indagación.
Earth at Risk in the 21st Century: Rethinking Peace, Environment, Gender, and Human, Water, Health, Food, Energy Security, and Migration
Earth at Risk in the 21st Century offers critical interdisciplinary reflections on peace, security, gender relations, migration and the environment, all of which are threatened by climate change, with women and children affected most. Deep-rooted gender discrimination is also a result of the destructive exploitation of natural resources and the pollution of soils, water, biota and air. In the Anthropocene, the management of human society and global resources has become unsustainable and has created multiple conflicts by increasing survival threats primarily for poor people in the Global South. Alternative approaches to peace and security, focusing from bottom-up on an engendered peace with s...

Cuerpo y cámara: la experiencia documental mexicana (2000-2020)
A decir de Juan Alberto Apodaca en el prólogo de esta publicación, las experiencias cinematográficas dispuestas en este libro invitan a sus lectores a evidenciar la diversidad del documental mexicano contemporáneo como pieza artística, como propuesta política, como rastros de realidad nunca total, pero que en su parcialidad detonan y complejizan los puntos de vista de realizadores, de investigadores y del público que, en esas historias nos reflejamos nosotros mismos en una búsqueda permanente de sentido ante la apabullante realidad que nos atraviesa.
In Fading Light

Humanities
Beginning with volume 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 more than 130 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 under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music
