Esta obra recoge los resultados de un estudio realizado por el Centro de Estudios Sociosanitarios de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha. El objetivo principal ha sido analizar el tratamiento que la prensa escrita ofreció durante el año 2004 sobre el problema de la violencia doméstica contra las mujeres. Se ha realizado un estudio mixto basado en técnicas cualitativas y cuantitativas para la recogida y análisis de las noticias relacionadas con el problema de la violencia doméstica contra las mujeres publicadas durante este periodo, tanto en diarios regionales como en diarios estatales. Este texto puede ser de utilidad no sólo para estudiosos del análisis periodístico y del problema de la violencia contra las mujeres, sino también puede resultar interesante para estudiantes de metodología de la investigación por la originalidad del diseño del estudio que en él se presenta.
Benito Pérez Galdós, considered Spain’s most important novelist after Cervantes, wrote 77 novels, several works of theater and a number of other tomes during his lifetime (1843–1920). His works have been translated into all major languages of the world, and many of his most highly regarded novels, those of the contemporary period, have been translated into English two, three and even four times over. Of the few “contemporary novels” of Galdós that until now have not come to light in English, The Forbidden is certainly among the most noteworthy. The story line concerns a wealthy philanderer, José María Bueno de Guzmán, who attempts to buy the favors of his three beautiful marrie...
"Reality does not comply with our narrations of it. And that is most certainly the case with the narrations produced in academia. An anthropologist in Bahia, Brazil, fears to become possessed by the spirits he had come to study; falls madly in love withan 'informant'; finds himself baffled by the sayings of a clairvoyant; and has to come to grips with the murder of one of his best friends. Unsettling events that do not belong to the orderly world of scientific research, yet leave their imprint on the way the anthropologist comes to understand the world. REflecting on his long research experience with the spirit possession cult Candomblâe, the author shows, in a probing manner, how definitions of reality always require the exclusion of certain perceptions, experiences and insights. And yet, this 'rest-of-what-is' turns out to be an inexhaustible source of amazement, seduction and renewal." --P [4] of cover.
En este volumen se recogen diversos trabajos sobre las líneas de investigación, el futuro y los retos a alcanzar en el campo de la poesía y la narrativa popular infantil así como su aprovechamiento didáctico. En ellos se aborda, entre otras cuestiones, la vigencia y presencia del Cancionero Popular de Tradición Infantil en la obra de diversos autores así como la pervivencia, la fijación escrita y los nuevos desafíos a los que han de enfrentarse los cuentos y relatos de tradición oral.
Mucho antes de que los hombres inventasen la escritura, y por supuesto mucho antes aún de la modernización de la imprenta, los relatos y las canciones de tradición oral alimentaban esa necesidad tan humana que llamamos cultura y que tan bien logra satisfacer la literatura. Aquella literatura de tradición oral ha tenido desde siempre en la niñez a uno de sus principales aliados, ya fuese como emisores, como receptores, o simplemente porque estaban por allí, a los pies de sus mayores… Esa voz infantil de la memoria de los pueblos ha sido el tema de investigación y encuentro de unas jornadas iberoamericanas que nacieron en 2007 en el seno de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, de la ...
As festas de devoção a Nossa Senhora do Rosário e aos santos negros São Benedito e Santa Efigênia estão presentes em centenas de localidades mineiras desde os tempos coloniais. A pesquisa do antropólogo Francimário Vito dos Santos convida- nos a conhecer a dinâmica dos bastidores das festas de dois municípios vizinhos e relacionados pelo trânsito de festeiros e grupos congadeiros. Os personagens dessas festas são apresentados no entremeio do enredo anual de planejamento e preparação das festas até o percurso pelas ruas e igrejas durante a temporada animada das celebrações em Santo Antônio do Monte e Araújos, cidades do centro-oeste mineiro. O caminho escolhido na pesquisa é a economia das festas, descrevendo as ações e os sentidos envolvidos na circulação de dinheiro e trabalho mobilizados para fazer acontecer os eventos de arrecadação das irmandades, os ensaios e as apresentações dos numerosos grupos que tocam e dançam no reinado.
In this book Krzysztof Nawratek explores the possibility of a post-capitalist city, and in so doing, reclaims and develops the idea of total mobilisation as originally formulated by Ernst Jünger. Nawratek formulates the idea of ‘accumulation of agency’ the ability to act, to replace the logic of capital accumulation as a main driver of urban development. He argues that this ‘accumulation of agency’ operates already in contemporary cities, and should not be seen as essential element of capitalism, but as a conceptual gateway to a post-capitalist world.
More than just an expression of religious authority or an instrument of social control, the Inquisition was an arena where cultures met and clashed on both shores of the Atlantic. This pioneering volume examines how cultural identities were maintained despite oppression. Persecuted groups were able to survive the Inquisition by means of diverse strategies—whether Christianized Jews in Spain preserving their experiences in literature, or native American folk healers practicing medical care. These investigations of social resistance and cultural persistence will reinforce the cultural significance of the Inquisition. Contributors: Jaime Contreras, Anne J. Cruz, Jesús M. De Bujanda, Richard ...
