Male-dominated law and legal knowledge essentially characterized the whole of pre-modern history in that the patriarchy represented the axis of social relations in both the private and public spheres. Indeed, modern and even contemporary law still have embedded elements of patriarchal heritage, even in the secular modern legal systems of Western developed countries, either within the content of legislation or in terms of its implementation and interpretation. This is true to a greater or lesser extent across legal systems, although the secular modern legal systems of the Western developed countries have made great advances in terms of gender equality. The traditional understanding of law has...
This book, edited by Eva Bermúdez-Figueroa and Beltrán Roca, explores different dimensions of Andalusian society. Despite the plurality of topics and approaches, a common thread connects all the chapters. Andalusian culture, in its multiple manifestations, is clearly shaped by its semi-peripheral position within Spain, the European Union, and the world-system. The semi-peripheral position of Andalusia manifests in religiosity, migration, collective action, poverty, social policy, and economic activities such as fishing and tourism, among others. While some of these manifestations can be understood as forms of resistance to situations of oppression derived from economic and sociopolitical d...

Uno de los retos a los que se han enfrentado las políticas educativas ha sido la mejora de la equidad de nuestro sistema educativo. El concepto de equidad se fundamenta en el de igualdad y en él se aplica el principio de justicia social, teniendo en cuenta las necesidades individuales que tiene cada persona y atendiendo a la diversidad, disminuyendo diferencias de cualquier tipo. Por tanto, la equidad se considera un indicador fundamental de la calidad educativa, tal y como lo afirman algunos autores, ambos términos son inseparables y no existe calidad sin equidad. A lo largo de los diferentes capítulos vamos a ir observando que a través de las investigaciones con perspectiva de género y una educación que fomente la igualdad es posible lograr una sociedad más justa. En este libro se recogen una gran variedad de experiencias y estudios sobre el género y la atención a la diversidad mediante metodologías y recursos innovadores que se adaptan a la sociedad cambiante en la que nos encontramos.
Este libro aborda la articulación de la participación política con otras esferas de la vida cotidiana como el trabajo, las obligaciones familiares o el ocio personal. La participación comunitaria se presenta aquí como «un fenómeno articulado», un campo de actividad estrechamente vinculado a las formas de producir, gestionar el hogar o divertirse. A través del caso de los concejos abiertos —una institución tradicional de asamblearismo comunitario— se examina cómo sus participantes concilian esos quehaceres con su implicación participativa. Se trata de un estudio etnográfico basado en una veintena de observaciones en asambleas, festejos y encuentros informales, así como entre...
'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.
Class-tested and coherent, this textbook teaches classical and web information retrieval, including web search and the related areas of text classification and text clustering from basic concepts. It gives an up-to-date treatment of all aspects of the design and implementation of systems for gathering, indexing, and searching documents; methods for evaluating systems; and an introduction to the use of machine learning methods on text collections. All the important ideas are explained using examples and figures, making it perfect for introductory courses in information retrieval for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in computer science. Based on feedback from extensive classroom experience, the book has been carefully structured in order to make teaching more natural and effective. Slides and additional exercises (with solutions for lecturers) are also available through the book's supporting website to help course instructors prepare their lectures.
El 14 de noviembre de 1921 nacía el Partido Comunista de España, fruto de la fusión del Partido Comunista Español (conocido como «el de los cien niños») y del Partido Comunista Obrero Español. A lo largo del siglo de existencia que ahora cumple, el comunismo español ha vivido etapas y situaciones muy diversas, casi nunca fáciles. Prácticamente la mitad de ese período se corresponde con años de represión y clandestinidad. El nuevo partido sobrevivió a duras penas a una primera década de persecuciones, aislamiento y estéril voluntarismo. Maduró bajo la República, prácticamente se «refundó» como gran partido nacional aferrado a las banderas del Frente Popular y llegó a s...
