Son pocas las personas que se dedican a velar por el respeto a las garantías individuales y la defensa los derechos humanos. Este solo hecho ya las hace excepcionales. Por esta misma razón, merecen un mayor reconocimiento debido a las dificultades, el alto costo personal e incluso los peligros que implica este oficio en una cultura donde la actuación del gobierno y otros actores involucrados en este tema es controversial, como es el caso de México. En este libro se presentan los testimonios de 18 personas que han dedicado su vida a defender a escala local, regional, nacional e internacional, los derechos de los demás. Son mujeres y hombres que comparten los motivos que les llevaron a ej...
México vive una crisis humanitaria en materia de derechos humanos, en cuya raíz se encuentra la impunidad que se ha enseñoreado en el país convirtiéndole en un paraíso para los victimarios. (ITESO)
Bergson mantiene la mirada comprensiva como condición de fidelidad a la realidad que se entrega en la intuición. Este texto explora, tomando como punto de partida la noción de Ilustración, ciertas conexiones hermenéuticas entre David Hume y Michel Foucault a propósito de la cuestión de la moral. Este artículo forma parte del proyecto de investigación referente al campo de las y los defensores de derechos humanos en México, pero en este caso en particular se analizan las sesiones y los informes de México y ONGs ante el Comité que evalúa el cumplimiento de la Convención sobre la eliminación de todas las formas de discriminación contra la mujer, del que México es parte, la lucha simbólica entre los agentes que intervienen en las sesiones, las problemáticas que cada uno de los agentes prioriza y las recomendaciones al Estado mexicano por parte de las ONGs y el Comité.
Aquest llibre presenta una reflexió acadèmica i professional al Campus de la Diagonal amb un ampli ventall d’idees urbanístiques que permeten establir un nou escenari universitari i millorar la relació amb la ciutat..Durant els anys seixanta i setanta del segle passat es varen realitzar diversos projectes d’edificis i recintes universitaris de gran interès (de Carlo, Candilis, Sert). També es varen publicar notables estudis sobre la relació entre la ciutat i la universitat..Feia, però, força anys que aquestes qüestions no semblaven ocupar l’agenda d’arquitectes, urbanistes i responsables universitaris. Per això sembla tan oportú l’esforç de recollir en aquestes poc més de dues-centes planes tot un seguit de riques reflexions i de projectes, tant aquells que responen a encàrrecs concrets de la UB i de la UPC, com aquells que han realitzat un conjunt d’estudiants per recosir i fer ciutat d’una munió d’edificis, sovint de caràcter abstret i poc permeable, tallats per una avinguda de grans dimensions i disposats sense cap visió de conjunt.
"A History of the Inquisition of Spain" in 4 volumes is one of the best-known works by the American historian Henry Charles Lea. The Spanish Inquisition (officially known as the "Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition") was established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms and to replace the Medieval Inquisition, which was under Papal control. It became the most substantive of the three different manifestations of the wider Catholic Inquisition along with the Roman Inquisition and Portuguese Inquisition. The Inquisition was originally intended primarily to identify heretics among...

This is one of the best-known works by the American historian Henry Charles Lea. The Spanish Inquisition (officially known as the "Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition") was established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms and to replace the Medieval Inquisition, which was under Papal control. It became the most substantive of the three different manifestations of the wider Catholic Inquisition along with the Roman Inquisition and Portuguese Inquisition. The Inquisition was originally intended primarily to identify heretics among those who converted from Judaism and Islam to Catholicism. The regulation of the faith of newly converted Catholics was intensified after the royal decrees issued in 1492 and 1502 ordering Muslims and Jews to convert to Catholicism or leave Castile. The Inquisition was not definitively abolished until 1834, during the reign of Isabella II, after a period of declining influence in the preceding century. The Spanish Inquisition is often cited in popular literature and history as an example of religious intolerance and repression.
