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.
Dialogic Organization Development
A Dynamic New Approach to Organizational Change Dialogic Organization Development is a compelling alternative to the classical action research approach to planned change. Organizations are seen as fluid, socially constructed realities that are continuously created through conversations and images. Leaders and consultants can help foster change by encouraging disruptions to taken-for-granted ways of thinking and acting and the use of generative images to stimulate new organizational conversations and narratives. This book offers the first comprehensive introduction to Dialogic Organization Development with chapters by a global team of leading scholar-practitioners addressing both theoretical foundations and specific practices.
The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
