The Palgrave Handbook of Environmental Politics and Theory
This Handbook aims to provide a unique and convenient one-volume reference work, exhibiting the latest interdisciplinary explorations in this urgently burgeoning field of intellectual and practical importance. Due to its immense range and diversity, environmental politics and theory necessarily encompasses: empirical, normative, policy, political, organizational, and activist discussions unfolding across many disciplines. It is a challenge for its practitioners, let alone newcomers, to keep informed about the ongoing developments in this fast-changing area of study and to comprehend all of their implications. Through the planned volume’s extensive scope of contributions emphasizing environ...
Fronteras semiótico-discursivas en distintas manifestaciones culturales. Estudios inter y transdisciplinares
En este libro, concebido por la labor conjunta de los Cuerpos Académicos UANL-480 “Estudios de la cultura. Literatura, Discurso, Género y Memoria”, UANL-465 “Estudios de la lengua francesa: pragmática, enseñanza y traducción”, UANL-457 “Estudios interdisciplinarios de la Historia”, ENSMSG-3 “Discurso, Educación y Sociedad”, UACOAH-135 “Discursos, semióticas y lenguajes: Estudios de la cultura en la región”, e investigadores invitados, se contienen diecinueve trabajos cuyo foco es el examen semiótico-discursivo de hechos culturales, en cuyo análisis se tiene en común la consideración de que “los diversos procesos [naturales, culturales, sociales] interactúan entre sí y que no permanecen independientes uno de otro; lo que hace necesario pues, la reconstrucción holística de la realidad estudiada” (Sarquis y Buganza, 2009, pág. 46)
Realism and Anti-Realism
There are a bewildering variety of ways the terms "realism" and "anti-realism" have been used in philosophy and furthermore the different uses of these terms are only loosely connected with one another. Rather than give a piecemeal map of this very diverse landscape, the authors focus on what they see as the core concept: realism about a particular domain is the view that there are facts or entities distinctive of that domain, and their existence and nature is in some important sense objective and mind-independent. The authors carefully set out and explain the different realist and anti-realist positions and arguments that occur in five key domains: science, ethics, mathematics, modality and...
Le renouveau parlementaire : entre discours et action
En tant qu'instance collégiale de représentation du peuple, le Parlement constitue le "destin de la démocratie" (Kelsen). Initialement constituée comme un rempart à l'absolutisme du pouvoir, l'institution parlementaire, au gré des régimes, et en fonction des contextes spatio-temporels, est apparue tantôt muselée, tantôt au contraire maîtresse du jeu politique. Au-delà de la typologie classique qui tend à distinguer les régimes seront la place qu'ils réservent au Parlement, force est de constater que de nombreux régimes démocratiques ont convergé au cours de la décennie écoulée vers des schémas institutionnels au sein desquels les Parlements ont retrouvé une place privilégiée.
Discours politiques et médiatiques en Amérique latine
Les contributions ici présentées éclairent l'évolution des discours produits et circulant au sein des sociétés latino-américaines au cours des vingt dernières années. Elles s'organisent autour de quatre axes majeurs : l'analyse du discours politique lors des campagnes électorales, lieu de construction des stratégies discursives des candidats ; l'exploration du discours médiatique comme vecteur de propositions politiques dans l'espace public ; les processus de construction des clivages gauche-droite ; et, enfin, les discours institutionnels dans la construction d'un imaginaire géopolitique régional ainsi que l'apport de la philosophie critique dans les lectures sur le Brésil contemporain.
Culture in Language Learning
Classical and modern foreign language studies no longer have a well-defined subject area, and language and culture can no longer be defined according to nations and national identities. New approaches are being developed with theoretical and methodological points of departure in new areas of research: for example, culture studies, anthropology, sociology, pragmatics and conversation analyses. The aim of modern language studies must therefore be redefined, and be more open for variation and diversity, both in culture and communication. The book discusses the relation between language and culture and is a direct result of the conference Culture in Language Learning, organised under the auspice...

Making Sense, Making Worlds
Nicholas Onuf is a leading scholar in international relations and introduced constructivism to international relations, coining the term constructivism in his book World of Our Making (1989). He was featured as one of twelve scholars featured in Iver B. Neumann and Ole Wæver, eds., The Future of International Relations: Masters in the Making? (1996); and featured in Martin Griffiths, Steven C. Roach and M. Scott Solomon, Fifty Key Thinkers in International Relations, 2nd ed. (2009). This powerful collection of essays clarifies Onuf’s approach to international relations and makes a decisive contribution to the debates in IR concerning theory. It embeds the theoretical project in the wider ...
