Sobrepoblación, medio ambiente y filosofía
Este libro, resultado de una investigación al interior del Semillero de filosofía política y del derecho, adscrito al grupo de investigación Politeia, de la Escuela de Filosofía, analiza desde diversos enfoques, especialmente desde el campo de la filosofía, la crisis ambiental y la sobrepoblación. No es un secreto para nadie que estos dos temas son de vital importancia no solo por sus implicaciones socio-económicas, sino también para la supervivencia misma de lo humano en el planeta. Ahora bien, esta obra propone que la crisis ambiental exige un cambio de modelo político y económico, a la par de una revalorización del rol del sujeto en nuestro contexto. También señala que la so...

Organic Waste Composting through Nexus Thinking
Organic waste composting is another excellent example to demonstrate the power and the benefits of nexus thinking. Even though organic waste composting itself is not a new topic, those who want to start a new project or align an ongoing project with nexus thinking, find it difficult to gather the necessary information. With nine case studies from four continents, this book aims to fill above gap in literature. While current literature on composting is often found to be limited to either soil/agriculture sector or waste management sector, this book presents a combined point of view. This open access book starts with an introductory chapter that describes the need to bring the waste management...
Pastoral Quechua
Pastoral Quechua explores the story of how the Spanish priests and missionaries of the Catholic church in post-conquest Peru systematically attempted to “incarnate” Christianity in Quechua, a large family of languages and dialects spoken by the dense Andes populations once united under the Inca empire. By codifying (and imposing) a single written standard, based on a variety of Quechua spoken in the former Inca capital of Cuzco, and through their translations of devotional, catechetical, and liturgical texts for everyday use in parishes, the missionary translators were on the front lines of Spanish colonialism in the Andes. The Christian pastoral texts in Quechua are important witnesses ...
Christianity, Empire and the Spirit
In Christianity, Empire and The Spirit, Néstor Medina uncovers the cultural processes that play a crucial role in influencing how people understand reality, express the Christian faith, and think about God. He uses decolonial thinking, Latina/o theology, and Pentecostal theology to show how the cultural dimension is a central feature in the biblical text; was the force that coopted Christianity from the imperial era of Constantine onwards; and undergirded Western European colonialism and the missionary project. He engages with Protestant and Catholic articulations on “culture” and demonstrates how most theologians perpetuate Eurocentric frames for considering the relation between Christianity and the cultural dimension. Alternatively, he offers a theological proposal that recognizes the Spirit at work in the phenomena of cultures.
El sistema negocial de la fiducia inmobiliaria de proyectos de construcción en Colombia
La fiducia mercantil inmobiliaria de proyectos de construcción en Colombia es un negocio jurídico que tiene importantes impactos en aspectos sociales y económicos en el país, frente al cual surgen también unos cuestionamientos sobre el real papel que debe desempeñar la sociedad fiduciaria y su relación coordinada con los fideicomitentes promotores/desarrolladores, así como, frente a la necesidad de una mayor protección para el beneficiario de área, durante la fase de ejecución del proyecto constructivo. Este contexto permite analizar la configuración de un sistema negocial que involucra el vínculo funcional de varios negocios jurídicos, cuyo centro es el contrato de fiducia mercantil, con unas relaciones interempresariales y el cumplimiento de una finalidad común. Y como consecuencia del surgimiento de dicho sistema se generan unas obligaciones negociales, de carácter sistémico, a cargo de los fideicomitentes promotores/desarrolladores y la sociedad fiduciaria, a favor del beneficiario de área, relacionadas con unos comportamientos necesarios que se deben observar para el adecuado desarrollo y la conclusión de unas unidades inmobiliarias por enajenar.
Argentina's Radical Party and Popular Mobilization, 1916–1930
Democracy has always been an especially volatile form of government, and efforts to create it in places like Iraq need to take into account the historical conditions for its success and sustainability. In this book, Joel Horowitz examines its first appearance in a country that appeared to satisfy all the criteria that political development theorists of the 1950s and 1960s identified as crucial. This experiment lasted in Argentina from 1916 to 1930, when it ended in a military coup that left a troubled political legacy for decades to come. What explains the initial success but ultimate failure of democracy during this period? Horowitz challenges previous interpretations that emphasize the rol...

Blood and Boundaries
Spain and Portugal's policies of exclusion and discrimination based on religious origins and genealogy were transferred to their colonies in Latin America. Schwartz examines the three minority of groups of moriscos, conversos, and mestizos. Muslim and Jewish converts and their descendants posed a special problem for colonial society: Their conversion to Christianity seemed to violate stable social categories and identities. This led to the creation of cleanliness of blood regulations that discriminated against converts and other parts of the population. These groups often found legal and practical means to challenge the efforts to exclude them, creating the dynamic societies of Latin America.
