Esta obra parte de la necesidad de buscar formas de conocimiento en las políticas públicas, específicamente en la evaluación de políticas y programas. Desde un inicio, el enfoque eurocéntrico desarrollista se impuso como el único camino para alcanzar el desarrollo de las sociedades y con ello culminar un proyecto civilizatorio occidentalizado. No obstante, las diferencias socioculturales en el mundo demostraron que el modelo importado por Estados Unidos y Europa era insuficiente para Asia, África, América Latina y el Caribe. Es así que replanteamos el método del conocimiento dentro de las políticas públicas, sus cimientos, pilares y alcances. A partir de las experiencias de análisis de políticas públicas y, en específico, de la evaluación de programas y políticas públicas, decidimos extrapolar la pretensión de conocimiento al momento más abstracto: la epistemología. Es en este nivel que reconsideramos los porqués del inicio y paraqués de los fines de la acción pública. Pretendemos descolonizar/decolonizar la evaluación de los programas y las políticas públicas.
Este é um livro de encontros, sobre os desencontros das violências domésticas. Desencontros das vítimas perante si próprias: os riscos, os medos, os obstáculos (pessoais, sociais e, até, institucionais) que têm de superar para se poderem reformular como livres, autónomas e consideradas. Desencontros dos agressores com a estruturação de relações igualitárias, de respeito e de confiança; fundados, muitas vezes, em ideações estereotipadas. E este é um livro de encontros entre autores que, como que numa conversa (escrita), quiseram entrelaçar diferentes saberes (nomeadamente, de medicina, psicologia, sociologia, criminologia, direito) para uma visão mais integrada sobre violência na intimidade ou de género. Porque se nos desconhecermos, não conheceremos verdadeiramente coisa alguma!

Since 1993, more than five hundred women and girls have been murdered in Ciudad Juárez across the border from El Paso, Texas. At least a third have been sexually violated and mutilated as well. Thousands more have been reported missing and remain unaccounted for. The crimes have been poorly investigated and have gone unpunished and unresolved by Mexican authorities, thus creating an epidemic of misogynist violence on an increasingly globalized U.S.-Mexico border. This book, the first anthology to focus exclusively on the Juárez femicides, as the crimes have come to be known, compiles several different scholarly "interventions" from diverse perspectives, including feminism, Marxism, critica...
After 40 years of professional experience developed in three areas of work —City-Territory, Landscape-Public Space and Building—, Batlle i Roig acquires a new commitment and positions itself in the face of the climate emergency, generating a sustainability matrix through which to contextualize your urban projects and urban strategies. At Batlleiroig we have been talking about Landscape and Nature since our foundation in 1981. We are committed to the environment and involved in finding solutions to solve the climate emergency. The motto “Merging City and Nature” serves to bring together our improvement commitments in each of the actions we carry out. We work in three different disciplines: Urbanism, Landscaping and Architecture, trying to be very specialists in each of them but from the essential transversality that is required to develop any intervention. The climate emergency becomes today our main transversality, the one that should guide our actions.
Women filmmakers in Mexico were rare until the 1980s and 1990s, when women began to direct feature films in unprecedented numbers. Their films have won acclaim at home and abroad, and the filmmakers have become key figures in contemporary Mexican cinema. In this book, Elissa Rashkin documents how and why women filmmakers have achieved these successes, as she explores how the women's movement, film studies programs, governmental film policy, and the transformation of the intellectual sector since the 1960s have all affected women's filmmaking in Mexico. After a historical overview of Mexican women's filmmaking from the 1930s onward, Rashkin focuses on the work of five contemporary directors—Marisa Sistach, Busi Cortés, Guita Schyfter, María Novaro, and Dana Rotberg. Portraying the filmmakers as intellectuals participating in the public life of the nation, Rashkin examines how these directors have addressed questions of national identity through their films, replacing the patriarchal images and stereotypes of the classic Mexican cinema with feminist visions of a democratic and tolerant society.
Examines the effects of the Spanish mission system on population structure and genetic variability in indigenous communities in northern Florida and southern Georgia during the 16th and 17th centuries This book examines the effects of the Spanish mission system on population structure and genetic variability in indigenous communities living in northern Florida and southern Georgia during the 16th and 17th centuries. Data on tooth size were collected from 26 archaeological samples representing three time periods: Late Precontact (~1200-1500), Early Mission (~1600-1650), and Late Mission (~1650-1700) and were subjected to a series of statistical tests evaluating genetic variability.
