El "TRI": Deportes, Derechos Humanos y violencia
Para explicar la tríada deporte, violencia y derechos humanos, este libro describe sucintamente las diferentes relaciones entre deportes y derechos humanos, distinguiendo de manera detallada el campo deportivo como espacio donde se promueven los derechos humanos, donde pueden violarse y donde puede llamarse la atención o denunciar la violencia y violación a los derechos humanos. Asimismo, la obra identifica las diferentes categorías de deportes y prácticas deportivas, así como la complejidad de la pluralidad de actores estatales y privados que participan en el campo deportivo y que potencialmente pueden ser víctimas y victimarios, reguladores, destinatarios y/o implementadores de norm...
HACIA UN POPULISMO CONSTITUCIONAL
Los gobiernos populistas se caracterizan por ascender al poder aprovechando una coyuntura política de descontento social con la clase gobernante y los partidos políticos. A través de una visión mesiánica de la función del Estado, logran cautivar a los sectores sociales más vulnerables y a los sectores medios a través de promesas que son de difícil o imposible cumplimiento. Una vez instaurados en el poder, procuran mantenerse en él recurriendo a políticas públicas que favorecen a los sectores sociales más desposeídos, con el fin de ampliar su base electoral y perpetuarse en el Gobierno. Esta obra tiene como propósito abordar el avance del populismo en América Latina, específicamente en lo referente a la parte orgánica de las cartas fundamentales de la región, para denunciar la forma en que el populismo afecta los principios medulares del régimen republicano, así como las herramientas de las que se han servido los gobiernos de corte populista. Igualmente analiza los derechos fundamentales que son indispensables en una democracia, enfocándose específicamente en el estudio de la libertad de prensa, que es un pilar esencial del sistema democrático.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Positive Nations and Communities
This book approaches the field of positive psychology from a post-modern perspective. It explores the consequences of combining current trends and models with supplementary participatory and transformative methods. The book brings a more collective, qualitative, culturally sensitive and transformative approach to the processes of making sense and implementing the science of positive psychology. It moves beyond the individual level towards a “knowledge community” and “knowledge of the communities”. The book is an invitation to more participatory and polyphonic dialogues in the field of positive psychology.
Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
