De la educación superior a los entornos profesionales: aprendizajes emergentes del estudio de las prácticas y pasantías
El libro recoge resultados de investigaciones realizadas en trece universidades (12 colombianas y 1 mexicana) que, mediante una metodología de estudio de caso, aportaron a un multicaso cuyo objetivo fue “caracterizar los aprendizajes y competencias previas requeridas por diversos entornos laborales en los que estudiantes de distintos programas universitarios realizan las prácticas profesionales”. A partir de las trece contribuciones, y con un enfoque interdisciplinario, se aporta a discusiones sobre: competencias “blandas” y “duras”; el ajuste de las prácticas a esta “nueva realidad” desde lo virtual; la relación de la práctica profesional con los perfiles de egreso; la ...
Heritage and Rights of Indigenous Peoples
In 2007, the United Nations adopted the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, a landmark political recognition of indigenous rights. A decade later, this book looks at the status of those rights internationally. Written jointly by indigenous and non-indigenous scholars, the chapters feature case studies from four continents that explore the issues faced by Indigenous Peoples through three themes: land, spirituality, and self-determination.
Divination on stage
Magicians, necromancers and astrologers are assiduous characters in the European golden age theatre. This book deals with dramatic characters who act as physiognomists or palm readers in the fictional world and analyses the fictionalisation of physiognomic lore as a practice of divination in early modern Romance theatre from Pietro Aretino and Giordano Bruno to Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca and Thomas Corneille.
The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
Historia General del Piru
Written by the Mercedarian friar Martín de Murúa, the Historia general del Piru (1616) is one of only three extant illustrated manuscripts on the history of Inca and early colonial Peru. This immensely important Andean manuscript is here made available in facsimile, its beautifully calligraphed text reproduced in halftone and its thirty-eight hand-colored images—mostly portraits of Inca kings and queens—in color.
Antigua California
This Spanish Borderlands classic recounts Jesuit colonization of the Old California, the peninsula now known as Baja California.
Spanish Central America
The seventeenth century has been characterized as "Latin America's forgotten century." This landmark work, originally published in 1973, attempted to fill the vacuum in knowledge by providing an account of the first great colonial cycle in Spanish Central America. The colonial Spanish society of the sixteenth century was very different from that described in the eighteenth century. What happened in the Latin American colonies between the first conquests, the seizure of long-accumulated Indian wealth, the first silver booms, and the period of modern raw material supply? How did Latin America move from one stage to the other? What were these intermediate economic stages, and what effect did th...
