Reconciliaciones y resistencias: Modelos mentales y aprendizajes colectivos en la construcción de paz territorial en Colombia
Los semilleros de investigación en la Universidad Santo Tomás se han venido configurando alrededor de la idea de que las habilidades de investigación se adquieren solo en el ejercicio y la práctica investigativa. A esto se refiere el principio que fundamenta la conformación de estos colectivos: "aprender a investigar im·estigando". Es por esto que desde el 2010, la Universidad ha hecho esfuerzos Importantes para fomentar y consolidar a los semilleros de investigación como una de las estrategias institucionales más importantes en lo que a formación investigativa se refiere. Estos escenarios formativos se caracterizan por tener como fuente de su creación la autonomía y el deseo de a...
Klientelisierte Staatlichkeit in Konfliktregionen
Die Peacebuilding-Forschung und -Praxis sieht in der »Abwesenheit des Staates« gemeinhin eine zentrale Ursache für die Gewalt in Konfliktregionen - nicht nur in Kolumbien. Dass diese Annahme mindestens fraglich ist, zeigt Philipp Naucke in seiner historisch sensiblen Analyse der Formation staatlicher Strukturen und der Handlungsmöglichkeiten der kleinbäuerlichen Friedensgemeinde San José de Apartadó in der Konfliktregion Urabá. Seine detaillierte und einfühlsame Ethnographie paradoxer Begegnungen zwischen staatlichen Institutionen und Gemeindemitgliedern macht die Verantwortung eines »klientelisierten Staates« in der sozio-kulturellen Produktion des Gewaltkonfliktes sichtbar - und liefert besonders für den aktuellen Friedensprozess äußerst relevante Einsichten.
Why Delegate?
Why Delegate? explores and develops the logic of delegation, showing its wide application in our private and public lives in an accessible way. Mitchell modifies the standard economic account to better fit what happens in the world around us. Using diverse cases ranging from surrogate parenting, pollution scandals at Volkswagen, the dispute process in the NFL, child abuse, and war crimes, this book explains the incentives at work and, among other issues,investigates the surprising passivity of those who are supposed to be in charge.
The Anthropology of Latin America and the Caribbean
The first single-authored comprehensive introduction to major contemporary research trends, issues, and debates on the anthropology of Latin America and the Caribbean. The text provides wide and historically informed coverage of key facets of Latin American and Caribbean societies and their cultural and historical development as well as the roles of power and inequality. Cymeme Howe, Visiting Assistant Professor of Cornell University writes, “The text moves well and builds over time, paying close attention to balancing both the Caribbean and Latin America as geographic regions, Spanish and non-Spanish speaking countries, and historical and contemporary issues in the field. I found the geographic breadth to be especially impressive.” Jeffrey W. Mantz of California State University, Stanislaus, notes that the contents “reflect the insights of an anthropologist who knows Latin America intimately and extensively.”
The Indigenous Languages of South America
The Indigenous Languages of South America: A Comprehensive Guide is a thorough guide to the indigenous languages of this part of the world. With more than a third of the linguistic diversity of the world (in terms of language families and isolates), South American languages contribute new findings in most areas of linguistics. Though formerly one of the linguistically least known areas of the world, extensive descriptive and historical linguistic research in recent years has expanded knowledge greatly. These advances are represented in this volume in indepth treatments by the foremost scholars in the field, with chapters on the history of investigation, language classification, language endangerment, language contact, typology, phonology and phonetics, and on major language families and regions of South America.
Digitalization and the Welfare State
This volume explores how digitalization--in different forms--affects the welfare state. Digitalization is likely to have a lasting impact on work, welfare, and the distribution of income. It will radically transform not only social risks in health, education and the labour market, but also the means by which these risks are addressed. The volume studies how digitalization affects policies as well as the underlying power relationship between actors, i.e. the politics of the welfare state. The volume brings together internationally renowned welfare-state scholars to identify - the socio-economic challenges that result from rapid technological change; - the ensuing political conflicts and strug...
Handbook of Research on Applied Social Psychology in Multiculturalism
Social psychology is the scientific study of how the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined, and implied presence of others. In this definition, scientific refers to the empirical investigation using the scientific method, while the terms thoughts, feelings, and behaviors refer to the psychological variables that can be measured in humans. Moreover, the notion that the presence of others may be imagined or implied suggests that humans are malleable to social influences even when alone, such as when watching videos or quietly appreciating art. In such situations, people can be influenced to follow internalized cultural norms. Social psychology ...
Catharine Macaulay's Republican Enlightenment
The ‘celebrated’ Catharine Macaulay was both lauded and execrated during the eighteenth century for her republican politics and her unconventional, second marriage. This comprehensive biography in the 'life and letters' tradition situates her works in their political and social contexts and offers an unprecedented, detailed account of the content and influence of her writing, the arguments she developed in her eight-volume history of England and her other political, ethical, and educational works. Her disagreements with conservative opponents, David Hume, Edmund Burke, and Samuel Johnson are developed in detail, as is her influence on more progressive admirers such as Thomas Jefferson, J...
