Family, Bullying and Cyberbullying
Despite the significant decrease in bullying that has been reported in many countries during the last two decades, bullying continues to be a significant problem among young people. Given the increase of internet use among youth, researchers have started to pay attention to cyberspace, understanding that it may be a fertile ground for bullying behaviors, specifically, what is known as cyberbullying. “Family, Bullying and Cyberbullying” examines the association of several family variables with bullying in offline and online environments during childhood and adolescence. Contributors from the Americas, Canada, Asia, and Europe offer cutting-edge research on family dynamics, bystander behav...
Romantic Relationships and Media

The SAGE Encyclopedia of the Internet
The Internet needs no introduction, and its significance today can hardly be exaggerated. Today, more people are more connected technologically to one another than at any other time in human existence. For a large share of the world’s people, the Internet, text messaging, and various other forms of digital social media such as Facebook have become thoroughly woven into the routines and rhythms of daily life. The Internet has transformed how we seek information, communicate, entertain ourselves, find partners, and, increasingly, it shapes our notions of identity and community. The SAGE Encyclopedia of the Internet addresses the many related topics pertaining to cyberspace, email, the World Wide Web, and social media. Entries will range from popular topics such as Alibaba and YouTube to important current controversies such as Net neutrality and cyberterrorism. The goal of the encyclopedia is to provide the most comprehensive collection of authoritative entries on the Internet available, written in a style accessible to academic and non-academic audiences alike.
Prizefighting and Civilization
In Prizefighting and Civilization: A Cultural History of Boxing, Race, and Masculinity in Mexico and Cuba, 1840–1940, historian David C. LaFevor traces the history of pugilism in Mexico and Cuba from its controversial beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century through its exponential rise in popularity during the early twentieth century. A divisive subculture that was both a profitable blood sport and a contentious public spectacle, boxing provides a unique vantage point from which LaFevor examines the deeper historical evolution of national identity, everyday normative concepts of masculinity and race, and an expanding and democratizing public sphere in both Mexico and Cuba, the United States’ closest Latin American neighbors. Prizefighting and Civilization explores the processes by which boxing—once considered an outlandish purveyor of low culture—evolved into a nationalized pillar of popular culture, a point of pride that transcends gender, race, and class.
Humanitarianism and Mass Migration
The world is witnessing a rapid rise in the number of victims of human trafficking and of migrants—voluntary and involuntary, internal and international, authorized and unauthorized. In the first two decades of this century alone, more than 65 million people have been forced to escape home into the unknown. The slow-motion disintegration of failing states with feeble institutions, war and terror, demographic imbalances, unchecked climate change, and cataclysmic environmental disruptions have contributed to the catastrophic migrations that are placing millions of human beings at grave risk. Humanitarianism and Mass Migration fills a scholarly gap by examining the uncharted contours of mass ...

This book brings together cutting-edge research from around the world to examine the issue of cyberbullying through a multi-disciplinary lens, offering an array of approaches, interpr...
Envejecimiento, sociedad y salud
En una sociedad que sólo se preocupa en definitiva del individuo en la medida en que produce o tiene capacidad para producir, hasta no hace mucho tiempo los hombres y mujeres de la tercera edad quedaban, en parte, excluidos del resto de la sociedad. En este sentido, la imagen que tenemos de la vejez no es un concepto inocente, ni fortuito, sino un elemento clave del tratamiento que las personas y la propia sociedad dan a los ancianos, de las políticas diseñadas para la tercera edad y lo que es más importante, del comportamiento y de las expectativas que los ancianos proyectan para sí mismos. Pero en los últimos años los cambios se han venido produciendo de forma constante. Los avances en el campo de la salud y los cambios producidos en las estructuras sociales han hecho que este colectivo haya aumentado significativamente su presencia y su implicación en la sociedad. Este libro responde a la reflexión y al esfuerzo de distintos profesores universitarios, especialistas y profesionales vinculados al tema del envejecimiento analizado desde múltiples facetas, con el convencimiento de que la tercera edad no es en absoluto una edad de tercera.
La formación de mediadores para la promoción de la lectura
En la promoción de la lectura, como en la animación a la lectura, sobre todo cuando los destinatarios de las mismas son niños o adolescentes, es muy importante la figura del mediador, papel que, en esas edades, suelen cumplir adultos con perfiles específicos (padres, maestros o bibliotecarios, aunque, en buena lógica, deberíamos considerar también como tales a los editores y a los libreros). El mediador es el puente o enlace entre los libros y esos primeros lectores que propicia y facilita el diálogo entre ambos. El Máster de Promoción de la Lectura y Literatura Infantil de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha que se puede cursar desde la red y a distancia, tiene como objetivo bás...
