La educación en la sociedad de la información
Este texto presenta un conjunto de reflexiones que se llevaron a cabo en interacción con estudiantes en el curso de algunas asignaturas. El eje articulador siempre fue la educación en la sociedad de la información. Algo que ha llamado poderosamente mi atención es poder percatarme, a través del diálogo con distintas personas y con los estudiantes, del gran desconocimiento o de conceptos erróneos acerca de la sociedad de la información, a pesar de que la mayoría de las personas —me atrevo a decir— hacen un uso masivo de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. En un salón de clase, para no ir más lejos, un estudiante, de forma jocosa, alguna vez comentó: «No entiendo cómo podían vivir ustedes sin internet, sin celular y sin redes sociales; la vida debió ser muy aburrida, muy lenta y complicada».
Water Availability and Management in Mexico
This book presents several complex case studies related to water management and planning in the context of pollution, growing demands, and global climate change in Mexico, but which are also relevant for other countries in Latin America. These concerns are of critical importance for policymakers who are coping with multiple conflicting interests. Water availability in Mexico is polarized, with abundant rainfall and large rivers in the south, and desert-like conditions in the north. The central region, which is the most industrialized, is overpopulated. Mexico City pours millions of cubic meters of “blackwater” into the northern valley daily and receives its clean water from the south. To...
Perros y promos
Lejos de ser simples palabras de jerga militar, “perros” y “promos” son conceptos que encierran profundos tatuajes en la memoria de los veteranos. Boesten y Gavilán siguen a los licenciados del Ejército para intentar comprender, a partir de sus relatos, la cultura castrense predominante en el Perú y su impacto en la vida de los exsoldados. Durante los años del conflicto armado interno, miles de jóvenes fueron alistados en las fuerzas armadas para prestar servicio militar en las peores condiciones posibles. Este libro pretende recuperar sus voces, para incorporarlos al debate sobre la memoria histórica de aquel complejo periodo. Sus historias de vida, narradas en primera persona, incluyen elementos como la crueldad, el miedo, la violencia sexual perpetrada y sufrida, los malos tratos y el compañerismo. Los autores analizan la manera en que la experiencia militar estructuró, y estructura hasta el presente, sus trayectorias. Como veremos, para todos ellos la condición de excombatientes sigue siendo el elemento central de su identidad y de su vida cotidiana.

Posthegemony
A challenging new work of cultural and political theory rethinks the concept of hegemony.
Guillermo Calles
In 1912, Guillermo Calles (1893-1958) became the first Mexican actor to appear in films made in California. Despite limited resources, he began directing and producing his own movies, and in 1929 pioneered production of Spanish-language sound films. His major works, among them the long-unavailable El indio yaqui and Raza de bronce (both 1927), represented Calles' tireless crusade to restore the image of Mexicans and Indians in an era dominated by Hollywood stereotypes. This biography traces Calles' career from his earliest Hollywood days through the 1950s. Included are the only surviving images of the filmmaker's silent productions, a closing commentary on his intimate circle of relatives, and an appendix featuring two fascinating letters written by Calles during a filming trip.
Education and Power
In his seminal volume first published in 1982 Michael Apple articulates his theory on educational institutions and the reproduction of unequal power relations and provides a thorough examination of the ways in which race-gender-class dynamics are embedded in, and reflected through, curricular issues. This second edition contains a re-examination of earlier arguments as well as reflections on recent changes in education.
Art from a Fractured Past
Peru's Truth and Reconciliation Commission not only documented the political violence of the 1980s and 1990s but also gave Peruvians a unique opportunity to examine the causes and nature of that violence. In Art from a Fractured Past, scholars and artists expand on the commission's work, arguing for broadening the definition of the testimonial to include various forms of artistic production as documentary evidence. Their innovative focus on representation offers new and compelling perspectives on how Peruvians experienced those years and how they have attempted to come to terms with the memories and legacies of violence. Their findings about Peru offer insight into questions of art, memory, ...
