La exigencia de argumentación o fundamentación, como parte de la arquitectura del pensar contemporáneo, conlleva la tarea de afrontar en escenarios específicos la acción de la razón práctica, que pese al contexto posmoderno de racionalidad sosegada o de racionalidad precaria, enfrenta consideraciones y apuestas por racionalidades que se aproximen al sentido o a los sentidos que emergen de las construcciones simbólicas y complejas en el derecho, como adjudicación; la filosofía, como historicidad y, la educación, como formación de la prudencia.
Aborda un análisis profundo sobre la teoría de la pena en el contexto del derecho penal. Su enfoque se centra en el principio de proporcionalidad, que es fundamental para determinar la gravedad de las penas impuestas en relación con la gravedad del delito cometido. A lo largo de la obra, se examinan dos paradigmas opuestos: la perspectiva retributiva, que sostiene que la pena debe ser un castigo justo que responda a la culpabilidad del infractor; y la perspectiva restaurativa, que busca reparar el daño causado a la víctima y a la comunidad, promoviendo la reintegración del delincuente en lugar de enfocarse únicamente en el castigo. El autor discute cómo la ponderación de la pena deb...
Esta obra es resultado de la colaboración y la cohesión entre investigadores de los grupos Socio-Humanística del Derecho, Raimundo de Peñafort y Aletheia de la Universidad Santo Tomás, articulados en torno a la pregunta por el estado de la cuestión del sistema modular, de su estatuto teórico, de su método y de su aplicación, toda vez que este se conforma en la impronta de formación de los profesionales del derecho. Para responder esta pregunta se empleó el método prudencial de ver, juzgar y actuar, propio del sistema modular, que por su riqueza facilita las labores de análisis y crítica. Por lo anterior, se trata, sin duda, de una contribución relevante para las investigaciones interdisciplinares en torno a la pedagogía y al diseño de currículo en la educación superior.
En esta época convulsionada, la temática de la responsabilidad como problema de conocimiento e investigación humana adquiere unos ribetes insospechados porque todas las personas y sujetos de derecho en las distintas instancias sociales enfrentamos a diario relaciones jurídicas que nos impactan individual y socialmente, las cuales repercuten necesariamente en el campo jurídico de la responsabilidad.
'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.
This book provides a political economy perspective on Chile’s contemporary economic development, explaining the different stages of Chile’s neoliberal pattern of economic integration into the global economy from 1973 to 2015. Three key explanatory variables are considered: the evolution of business-state relations, US geopolitical interest in the region through the waves of trade agreements, and the political impact of the dynamics of inflows and outflows of financial capital. Although Chile is typically considered to be a successful case of a free market economy, this book presents an alternative narrative of Chile’s growth through using a Latin American Structuralist political economy perspective. While it recognises the positive results in terms of growth, it also emphasises the lack of dynamic sources for long-term development, which embeds the economy into short-term booms followed by periods of stagnation.
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.

With a focus on Chile, Pinochet’s Economic Accomplices: An Unequal Country by Force uses theoretical arguments and empirical studies to argue that focusing on the behavior of economic actors of the dictatorship is crucial to achieve basic objectives in terms of justice, memory, reparation, and non-repetition measures. This book makes visible a number of cases of economic complicity with the Chilean dictatorship and explains their links with the radical inequalities the country has today while proposing a theoretical framework for their study. Scholars of Latin American studies, history, sociology, economics, business, and human rights will find this book particularly useful.
