Si algo caracteriza a la globalización contemporánea es la apertura, flexibilización y, sobre todo, la hibridación de la que estamos siendo testigos a la hora de construir las identidades. Antes de que la interacción en internet por medio de las redes sociales hiciera acto de presencia, la edificación de identidades tenía un marcado carácter de proximidad y presencialidad. Los referentes en torno a lo cuales pivotaba la pedagogía identitaria estaban configurados en los círculos de intimidad que se experimentaban en vivo y en directo, que poseían un testimonio claro y personalmente conocido. En este sentido, el plano mediático como eje referencial para esta construcción de la personalidad se percibía desde la lejanía y se caracterizaba por un halo ilusorio.
Desde el Comité Organizador del IV Congreso Internacional sobre Innovación Pedagógica y Praxis Educativa, nos complace presentar esta publicación con los resúmenes de las comunicaciones y ponencias arbitradas por el Comité Científico.

Heritable human genome editing - making changes to the genetic material of eggs, sperm, or any cells that lead to their development, including the cells of early embryos, and establishing a pregnancy - raises not only scientific and medical considerations but also a host of ethical, moral, and societal issues. Human embryos whose genomes have been edited should not be used to create a pregnancy until it is established that precise genomic changes can be made reliably and without introducing undesired changes - criteria that have not yet been met, says Heritable Human Genome Editing. From an international commission of the U.S. National Academy of Medicine, U.S. National Academy of Sciences, ...
Como el título de la obra ya advierte, este libro se presenta como un desafío y, al mismo tiempo, como una oportunidad para pensar conjuntamente sobre los asuntos que en él se abordan: la inclusión y la innovación educativa en la formación inicial de docentes. En los diferentes textos que lo componen, se recoge el trabajo realizado por un grupo de profesoras y profesores de distintas universidades de España (Málaga, Cádiz y Almería) e Italia (RomaTre y La Sapienza), que se enfrentan al reto de mantener vivo el deseo de enseñar y aprender el oficio docente desde planteamientos alternativos a la mera cualificación técnica que parece imperar en nuestro panorama educativo. Supone ta...
Like sharks, epidemic diseases always lurk just beneath the surface. This fast-paced history of their effect on mankind prompts questions about the limits of scientific knowledge, the dangers of medical hubris, and how we should prepare as epidemics become ever more frequent. Ever since the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic, scientists have dreamed of preventing catastrophic outbreaks of infectious disease. Yet, despite a century of medical progress, viral and bacterial disasters continue to take us by surprise, inciting panic and dominating news cycles. From the Spanish flu and the 1924 outbreak of pneumonic plague in Los Angeles to the 1930 'parrot fever' pandemic and the more recent SARS, Ebola, and Zika epidemics, the last 100 years have been marked by a succession of unanticipated pandemic alarms. Like man-eating sharks, predatory pathogens are always present in nature, waiting to strike; when one is seemingly vanquished, others appear in its place. These pandemics remind us of the limits of scientific knowledge, as well as the role that human behaviour and technologies play in the emergence and spread of microbial diseases.
An important collection, Cosmopolitan Archaeologies delves into the politics of contemporary archaeology in an increasingly complex international environment. The contributors explore the implications of applying the cosmopolitan ideals of obligation to others and respect for cultural difference to archaeological practice, showing that those ethics increasingly demand the rethinking of research agendas. While cosmopolitan archaeologies must be practiced in contextually specific ways, what unites and defines them is archaeologists’ acceptance of responsibility for the repercussions of their projects, as well as their undertaking of heritage practices attentive to the concerns of the living ...
The Encyclopedia of Erotic Literature is a two-volume work that contains some 540 entries on erotic literature on an international scale. The Encyclopedia has an unprecedented scope, the first scholarly reference resource to bring the field together in all its fascinating variety. The entries examine the history of the literature in different countries and languages from classical antiquity to the present day, individual writers from around the world (not all of them necessarily known as specialist writers of erotic literature), significant works, genres and critical approaches, and general themes pertinent to erotic literature (nudity, prostitution, etc.). The definition of erotic literatur...
The number of cultural parks has been steadily increasing in recent years throughout the world. But what is a cultural park? This book provides a detailed answer to this question and sets out the basis for an academic debate that moves beyond the technical narratives that have prevailed to date. It is important to open up the topic to academic scrutiny given that cultural parks are becoming widespread devices being employed by different institutions and social groups to manage and enhance cultural and natural heritage assets and landscapes. The main problem in dealing with this topic is the predominant lack of theory-grounded, critical reflection in the literature about cultural parks. These...
