Entre miradas y silencios. Metodologías de investigación en la historia indígena contemporánea
La historia indígena contemporánea no es un objeto de estudio inalterable, traslúcido, inmediatamente evidente. Para entender y visibilizar sus modulaciones temporales y regionales es indispensable tomar en cuenta, por un lado, la diversidad de los grupos indígenas, y al mismo tiempo, por el otro, la propia variabilidad de las realidades más amplias con las cuales estas sociedades se definen e interactúan. Confiando en que en esta tarea todavía queda camino por recorrer, este libro reúne una serie de reflexiones historiográficas sobre el uso de las fuentes orales y escritas, los procesos de territorialización y estatización, las transformaciones de las relaciones interétnicas, elementos indispensables a la hora de proponer una lectura realmente interdisciplinaria. Los estudios compilados en este volumen permiten redireccionar la mirada para construir nuevas claves interpretativas en este campo todavía incierto del conocimiento. Abren, así, la posibilidad de buscar acuerdos inexplorados en torno de los recortes temáticos, los conceptos y las metodologías necesarias para comprender en toda su dimensión la historia indígena contemporánea de América Latina.
Primer concurso de ensayo fray Roger Bacon
"Este libro [...] es el bautismo de un sueño que comenzó con Roger Bacon encerrado en su celda y que continúa en la volátil pluma de todos los ensayistas aquí convocados. El Primer concurso de ensayo fray Roger Bacon le rinde un homenaje a la figura de quien fue un buscador abismal. El Doctor mirabilis, como se le suele llamar en los pasillos teológicos, nació muchos años antes de que el gran Michel de Montaigne dijese: 'Yo mismo soy la materia de mi libro', en esos Essais que inaugurarían en la literatura una nueva forma de expresión. Sin embargo, ya en él estaba la semilla de lo que Montaigne haría llegar hasta ensayistas contemporáneos como los que se reúnen aquí: la noció...
Police Writing and Radical Modernisation in the Porfiriato and the Conservative Republic (1870s-1910s)
This book explores the process of modernisation during the Porfiriato and the Conservative republic from the perspective of one of its most erratic agents: the urban police. Taking a pragmalinguistic approach, this book examines police bureaucratic, journalistic, and literary writing practices that flourished in the wake of police professionalisation and in response to the demands of state expansion, urban order, and cultural disciplining. It outlines the precarious state of an institution that had to redefine itself in the face of change, as well as policemen’s attempts to enforce and imagine different modes of doing modern estate, society, and culture. Integrating classical sociological ...

Handbook of Research on the Conservation and Restoration of Tropical Dry Forests
Tropical dry forests are the most exploited and endangered ecosystems in the world. A combination of climatic and human factors often reduce these forests to patches of dry scrubs or savannas. Because these ecosystems experience a more arduous and less anticipated environment, they are more prone to environmental stress as plant communities are developed. Therefore, urgent research is necessary to understand both the detrimental issues and problem-solving approaches to conserving these important forests. The Handbook of Research on the Conservation and Restoration of Tropical Dry Forests is a pivotal reference source that combines theory and practice on the current trends and issues in this ...
Handbook of Research on Aestheticization of Violence, Horror, and Power
Individuals seek ways to repress the sense of violence within themselves and often resort to medial channels. The hunger of the individual for violence is a trigger for the generation of violent content by media, owners of political power, owners of religious power, etc. However, this content is produced considering the individual’s sensitivities. Thus, violence is aestheticized. Aesthetics of violence appear in different fields and in different forms. In order to analyze it, an interdisciplinary perspective is required. The Handbook of Research on Aestheticization of Violence, Horror, and Power brings together two different concepts that seem incompatible—aesthetics and violence—and f...
Poverty and Shared Prosperity 2018
The World Bank Group has two overarching goals: End extreme poverty by 2030 and promote shared prosperity by boosting the incomes of the bottom 40 percent of the population in each economy. As this year’s Poverty and Shared Prosperity report documents, the world continues to make progress toward these goals. In 2015, approximately one-tenth of the world’s population lived in extreme poverty, and the incomes of the bottom 40 percent rose in 77 percent of economies studied. But success cannot be taken for granted. Poverty remains high in Sub- Saharan Africa, as well as in fragile and conflict-affected states. At the same time, most of the world’s poor now live in middle-income countries,...
