The Ethnomethodology Program
"This paper aims at contributing to a reflection about the legacy of Harold Garfinkel and the relations between ethnomethodology (EM) and conversation analysis (CA), by focusing on a common concern for both programs: the study of action as methodic (the term is used here in line with the sense of ethnomethodology), i.e. ordered, accountable, recognizable, and reproducible. Both approaches seek to describe the members' (term favored in ethnomethodology) or coparticipants' (term favored in conversation analysis) production, recognition, and reproduction of actions understood as locally situated social achievements. Within this framework, the chapter discusses two key dimensions of methodically...
Turismo rural y desarrollo local
El turismo rural viene demostrando una acelerada dinámica. Se trata de un ajuste lógico al nuevo turismo,marcado por su incidencia y repercusión en algunos territorios de interior, por los nuevos hábitos de los turistas, por el uso creciente de las nuevas tecnologías, por la segmentación de los mercados y por la necesidad de abordarlo desde nuevos planteamientos de sostenibilidad. Pero se trata de una modalidad no exenta de problemas y conflictos, que requieren visiones interdisciplinares y propuestas ajustadas a cada realidad. La necesidad de analizar y reflexionar estos aspectos guía los diferentes capítulos del libro. El enfoque aborda los nuevos escenarios y principales conflictos de un sector que se ha convertido en una alternativa viable y real para algunas comarcas.
Sociología del turismo
En este libro el turismo se presenta como un fenómeno complejo que se relaciona de muy diversas maneras con campos fundamentales de la vida social, como las estructuras de poder, la seguridad pública, las relaciones económicas, los procesos de urbanización, los eventos deportivos o los cambios demográficos. El turismo se aborda como un entramado de procesos que generan efectos ambivalentes: si bien, son muy apreciables los beneficios económicos y su influencia en el desarrollo de las sociedades, se analizan además impactos sociales que revelan su carácter problemático y conflictivo. La obra cuenta con las aportaciones de un acreditado grupo de sociólogos y sociólogas expertos en e...
Permafrost
"Permafrost es el sorprendente debut de Eva Baltasar, una historia contundente, íntima y carnal de una protagonista con pulsiones suicidas que se protege del exterior pero se entrega con intensidad al sexo con otras mujeres, la literatura y el arte. El permafrost es esa capa de la tierra permanentemente congelada y es también la membrana que cubre a la protagonista de esta novela. Escrita en primera persona, nos presenta a una mujer en etapa de formación que se protege del exterior, que percibe la superficialidad en todo cuanto la rodea y huye de un entorno que nada tiene que ver con su manera de entender la vida: una madre obsesionada con la salud, omnipresente y controladora, y una herm...

A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula
"A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" is the second comparative history of a new subseries with a regional focus, published by the Coordinating Committee of the International Comparative Literature Association. As its predecessor for East-Central Europe, this two-volume history distances itself from traditional histories built around periods and movements, and explores, from a comparative viewpoint, a space considered to be a powerful symbol of inter-literary relations. Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested.Written by an international team of researchers who are specialists in the field, this history is the first attempt at applying a comparative approach to the plurilingual and multicultural literatures in the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of comprehensiveness is abandoned in favor of a diverse and extensive array of key issues for a comparative agenda."A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" undermines the primacy claimed for national and linguistic boundaries, and provides a geo-cultural account of literary inter-systems which cannot otherwise be explained.
