By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the past two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state fo...
A obra objetiva tensionar os conceitos-ferramentas de Michel Foucault a partir de inquietações que visam esquadrinhar as formações discursivas, penetrar nas relações de poder e conduzir, regular e produzir subjetividades. Destarte, os sujeitos, as instituições e as práticas compõem o escopo analítico das discussões a serem travadas nesta obra.

Si bien esta publicación explora los conocimientos y manifestaciones asociados a la cotidianidad de la vida campesina, centra su mirada en la fortaleza organizativa de quienes habitan el páramo. El campesinado de Sumapaz reconoce, mediante sus propios relatos, la fuerza de las huellas que han dejado la violencia y la estigmatización ideológica a causa del conflicto por la tenencia de la tierra en el país a lo largo del siglo XX e inicios del XXI. También reconoce que esta historia, que atraviesa sus formas de relacionarse, habitar y manifestarse, es quizás el núcleo que ha dado impulso a unas formas y procesos organizativos particulares. Y en este eje es donde se encuentra el patrimonio que vive y nutre la vida de campesinas y campesinos del Sumapaz.
The Workshop on Simulation and Optimization for Sustainable Engineering is held in Santander (September 28th-29th) on the occasion of the visit of Prof. Ignacio Grossmann to the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering of the Universidad de Cantabria in the framework of the Fulbright U.S. Specialist Program. This workshop is organized in collaboration with AQUIQÁN, the Association of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Cantabria, with the aims of serving both as a forum of discussion of the recent advances in the topic and a meeting point of the closest collaborators of Prof. Grossmann in Spain over the last years. Overall, 30 researchers will take part in this event coming from several universities (Alicante, Cantabria, Rovira i Virgili, Salamanca, Sevilla, and Valladolid) and the IMDEA Materials Institute. The program includes a plenary lecture imparted by Prof. Grossmann, one keynote presentation representative of each institution and around 15 oral presentations from young researchers.
A obra Sociologia ambiental: possibilidades epistêmicas e realidades complexas, organizada por Léo Peixoto Rodrigues, Rafael Braz Da Silva e Camila Dellagnese Prates, aborda a questão ambiental a partir de aspectos tanto de natureza filosófica, epistemológica e metodológica quanto de natureza empírica. Estruturado em oito capítulos, o livro reúne estudos de pesquisadores brasileiros e estrangeiros que se dedicaram a pesquisas que enfocam as questões socioambientais, considerando os problemas sociais decorrentes da degradação do meio ambiente, a fim de ressignificar a sociologia ambiental por meio de novos olhares e novas abordagens.

La obra tiene como objetivo mostrar las inconsistencias y debilidades teóricas y prácticas que presenta el paradigma del desarrollo, cuyas consecuencias han sido contrarias al bienestar humano que prometió y, sobre todo, negativas contra la naturaleza. Ante ello, se señalan diferentes alternativas de vida al desarrollo que se utilizan y promueven en distintas partes del mundo, básicamente retornando las enseñanzas ancestrales y reacondicionándolas para las circunstancias actuales. Presentamos un modelo que busca impulsar la noción del buen vivir en el sur de Jalisco, México, a través de la vinculación de las comunidades, con académicos y estudiantes universitarios, vía el fomento de la agroecología, las economías alternativas (como la solidaria), así como el diálogo transdisciplinar de saberes.
