Researching Social Media with Children
Reflecting on the methodological issues involved in researching digital spaces with children, this book shares good practices and delves into the ethics of such research. Social media has completely redefined how children and young people relate to each other, express themselves, and present their identities and sexualities. Yet researching social media can be a difficult and daunting task given the ephemerality of the content, its contextual hyperspecificity, the complex power relationships between users, celebrity culture, digital capitalism, and the ethical issues that arise from the reimagining of the public/private space. Using digital ethnography and creative digital storytelling works...
EL PATIO ES MI ESCUELA
Los patios escolares constituyen un lugar privilegiado de aprendizaje y relación, donde niños y niñas tienen mayores oportunidades de descubrimiento y exploración, juego libre, expresión y movimiento, autonomía y convivencia. Los patios no son escenarios neutros. La organización de los espacios y la disposición de sus elementos denotan un discurso y un sistema de valores. No ofrece las mismas posibilidades educativas un patio con suelo y elementos artificiales que un jardín. Por otra parte, la "naturalización" de lo que ocurre en los patios, apoyada en el argumento de ser "cosas y juegos de niños", ha legitimado durante décadas actitudes y comportamientos propios de un espacio jerarquizado donde se viven relaciones de poder que marcan las experiencias personales. Es en el momento actual cuando empieza a repensarse el diseño y uso de los patios escolares, recogiendo demandas urgentes de nuestra sociedad: sostenibilidad, inclusión, coeducación y participación comunitaria.
Poder y monstruosidad en la narrativa de Margaret Atwood
En estos tiempos de la (pos)pandemia del COVID-19, los monstruos aparecen constantemente en las páginas de los periódicos y en las pantallas de nuestros aparatos electrónicos. Los monstruos nos atraen, nos horrorizan y nos liberan. El objetivo de este estudio es acompañar al lector, estudioso de la obra de Atwood o aficionado a ella, por la galería de monstruos que habitan sus novelas: vampiros, dobles, mujeres y hombres lobo, androides y seres transgénicos. Quizá el representante más conocido de esta cultura de monstruos sea la criatura imaginada por Mary Shelley en su novela Frankenstein (1818), un motivo recurrente en la obra y la imaginación de Margaret Atwood, especialmente en ...
De la Ilustración a la época posmoderna: continuidad y ruptura
El siglo XVIII es llamado ordinariamente el Siglo de la Ilustración, el Siglo de las luces, pues con estas se pretendía iluminar un mundo que se consideraba históricamente en tinieblas. Los ilustrados desarrollaron una serie de ideas (libertad, razón, tolerancia, ley natural, orden natural, etc.), que sirvieron de base para la construcción del mundo contemporáneo, a costa de la secular tradición cristiana. Eso supuso a la larga una profunda ruptura con ella, un cambio de paradigma. Asimismo, el planteamiento de serios retos en el corazón mismo de nuestra cultura, dejando a la vez asuntos importantes sin resolver. A partir, sobre todo, de los años sesenta del siglo XX entraremos en u...

A General Overview on English Linguistics Based On Case Studies

For that purpose, Chapter I focuses on language variation and change ranging not only from contextual factors, but also its standardisation.

On the Origins of Taxation
In his new book, the professor of the University of Pécs, Faculty of Law has examined the ancient roots of taxation dated back before the establishment and emergence of writing. He is the first, who defined the social development of taxation and some tax types from the very beginning. The author recognised that the tax systems in irrigated and dryland cultures emerged and evolved in two different paths. He also underlined that taxation is not the same old as the early states, on the contrary, the first civilisations need the help of taxation in order to start their emergence. The author analysed his field of research by using the findings of history, archaeology, sociology and law. The work would be an interesting and useful reading not only for researchers in the field of financial law, but also for those, who are interested in the development of society and history. The monograph deserves special attention, because its niche content and furthermore also for its tight and clear style, logical structure and historical approach. The book could not only become a basic component of any high standard library, but would also change our thoughts about social science.
Art, Images and Network Culture
This book addresses the impact that the Internet and new connective technologies have had on the development of contemporary art over the last two decades. It deals with a wide range of themes: the emergence and key aspects of ‘social media art’, the issue of online identity as a particular theme within artistic practice, the links between digital connectivity and the physical space (telepresence/teleproxemics, augmented reality, geolocation, etc.), forms of property and the digital commons, the critical thematisation developed by cyberfeminist creativity, the transformations in the gaze, and the new ways in which images are generated, circulated and propagated in a digital context articulated by social media.
Política de inclusión y equidad educativa desde la perspectiva del modelo social de la discapacidad
El desarrollo de las políticas educativas de inclusión y equidad implica que los actores de los sistemas educativos profundicen en su compresión de la educación inclusiva a fin de incluir a todos los y las estudiantes, sin considerar su identidad o procedencia, su origen social o económico, sus aptitudes, y condiciones o capacidades, procurando así reconstruir sistemas educativos más inclusivos. En este libro se planteó el objetivo de inferir y generar explicaciones teóricas para fundamentar un modelo educativo de inclusión y equidad, construido a través de las experiencias de estudiantes con discapacidad, del personal docente, y de compañeros y compañeras de clase en la Univers...
Freedom and Other Keys to Creativity
There is a lot of buzz on creativity and there are many ways to look at it but, in this book, you will not find a methodology for “unlocking your inner creative soul.” Instead, you will be immersed in a thought-provoking dive into neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and a variety of references from arts and sciences. Creativity takes courage (and it also takes time): one must take the existential approach of becoming (a meaningful engagement with life). Enjoy creativity as a process, not as a tool to conquer a goal. "Most people read one or two books on creativity in a lifetime, Joaquim Franch has probably read them all! In this book, he has broken them down, sorted out the common deno...
