El conflicto del agua
Esta obra presenta de forma inédita una investigación de largo aliento que busca recuperar la naturaleza social del agua, y destacar que es fundamental que la sociedad participe en el manejo y conservación de este recurso, con sus prácticas, ideas, significados, valores, potenciales e intereses que le confiere. Para ello los autores abordan, con un enfoque transversal y multidimensional, los múltiples y distintos conflictos que derivan del saneamiento, degradación y agotamiento de los ecosistemas acuáticos; de los daños y riesgos por las actividades extractivas y de aprovechamiento de las energías limpias, y del ineficaz o inexistente servicio de distribución del agua.
Educación ambiental y movimientos sociales
Los movimientos socioambientales y la educación ambiental saben que la realidad no se cambia con deseos. Esta obra muestra que aún es posible amotinar a grupos sociales por medio de expresiones como la poesía y el cine para movilizar conciencias y motivar una acción serena pero firme. Ambas fuerzas convergen en esta publicación para hacer frente a un amargo paisaje trazado por una modernidad desbocada y caótica, con la finalidad de desatar nudos en nuestra coyuntura actual y de que sean reconocidas como expresiones ciudadanas ante la incertidumbre en nuestro entorno.
Apropiación social del conocimiento socioecológico
A pesar de que la ciencia y la tecnología se han vuelto parte indispensable en nuestra vida cotidiana, la mayoría de las personas las ven como algo abstracto, impoluto y lejano que hacen personas encerradas en sus laboratorios, vestidas con una bata blanca, salpicada de manchas de colores de alguna substancia extraña y rodeadas de aparatos de vidrio que expelen vapores, también de colores extraños. Esta imagen muestra la distancia y falta de comunicación entre las personas que hacen ciencia con el resto de la sociedad.
The Struggle Against Enforced Disappearance and the 2007 United Nations Convention
Enforced disappearance is one of the most serious human rights violations. It constitutes an autonomous offence and a crime under international law on account of its multiple and continuing character. It is not a phenomenon of the past, nor is it geographically limited to Latin America: such scourge is widespread today and on the increase in other continents. For more than twenty-five years, relatives of disappeared people worldwide have insisted on the pressing need for an international legally binding instrument against enforced disappearances. 2006 is the year of the adoption of the International Convention on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearances, which represents the result of several legislative and jurisprudential developments that are duly analyzed in this book. The Convention has been opened for signature in February 2007.
