El presente libro es el segundo de la colección de la línea de "Territorios y violencias en el área de la salud instituiciones y estructuras" el cual está enfocado en esta ocasión a la violencia estructural, reflexionada, descrita y analizada desde diferentes perspectivas disciplinares, todo lo cual pretende introducir al lector desde los conceptos más generales del tema, a problemas más concretos y propuestas de análisis en diferentes contextos de América Latina. La violencia estructural es anónima e ignorada la mayoría de las veces, por lo tanto es necesario conceptualizarla, describirla, problematizarla y evidenciarla en los diferentes escenarios incluyendo aquellos donde la salud sea el foco de atención.
Este es el primero de una serie de libros que pretenden marcar las pautas y las experiencias al momento de estudiar, investigar o implementar acciones y políticas en salud tomando en consideración los territorios no sólo como espacios geopolíticos, sino como escenarios de acción socio-cultural con sus diferentes expresiones, sus conflictos, sus dinámicas y su biodiversidad. Esta colaboración de países Latinoamericanos pone en el centro a los colectivos, sus necesidades en salud y los retos que esto significa para todos los que estamos comprometidos con una salud incluyente, pluricultural y solidaria, lo cual requiere un trabajo colaborativo y cada día más creativo sumando la experiencia de cada uno de los actores.

'HyperReality is a technological capability like nanotechnology, human cloning and artificial intelligence. Like them, it does not as yet exist in the sense of being clearly demonstrable and publicly available. Like them, it is maturing in laboratories where the question "if" has been replaced by the question "when?" and like them, the implications of its appearance as a basic infrastructure technology are profound and merit careful consideration.' - Nobuyoshi Terashima What comes after the Internet? Imagine a world where it is difficult to tell if the person standing next to you is real or a virtual reality, and whether they have human intelligence or artificial intelligence; a world where ...
This work is a history of the Pacific, the ocean that became a theatre of power and conflict shaped by the politics of Europe and the economic background of Spanish America. There could only be a concept of &�the Pacific once the limits and lineaments of the ocean were set and this was undeniably the work of Europeans.

Claudio Véliz adopts the provocative metaphor of foxes and hedgehogs that Isaiah Berlin used to describe opposite types of thinkers. Applying this metaphor to modern culture, economic systems, and the history of the New World, Véliz provides an original and lively approach to understanding the development of English and Spanish America over the past 500 years. According to Véliz, the dominant cultural achievements of Europe's English- and Spanish-speaking peoples have been the Industrial Revolution and the Counter-Reformation, respectively. These overwhelming cultural constructions have strongly influenced the subsequent historical developments of their great cultural outposts in North an...
