Probablemente no ha habido a lo largo de la historia un fenómeno tan efímero, y en apariencia tan trivial, que haya conquistado en tan poco tiempo y tan poderosamente el imaginario colectivo global como el selfie. ¿Puede existir una generación, por definición una colectividad amplia de referencia, construida a partir del selfie? Solo de la misma forma que puede existir un mapamundi selfie: si se comienza a edificar lo colectivo desde y únicamente a partir de lo micro. El significado del término selfie refleja con gran fidelidad el mundo actual de los adolescentes y jóvenes. Selfie es, en este sentido, el triunfo definitivo de lo visual en un mundo líquido en el que predomina la inmediatez calculada, el permanente ensayo "esto soy aquí y ahora", quedando la intimidad perfectamente mimetizada con la pública exhibición para el consumo (extimidad): serás visto, serás consumido... o no serás nada.
Internationally recognized scholars from many parts of the world provide a critical survey of recent developments and achievements in the global field of religious studies. The work follows in the footsteps of two former publications: Classical Approaches to the Study of Religion, edited by Jacques Waardenburg (1973), and Contemporary Approaches to the Study of Religion, edited by Frank Whaling (1984/85). New Approaches to the Study of Religion completes the survey of the comparative study of religion in the twentieth century by focussing on the past two decades. Many of the chapters, however, are also pathbreaking and point the way to future approaches.

"A critical report about the origins, present state and future perspectives of sociology in Spain."--Page 4 of cover.
Para entender qué pasó y por qué paso un año en el que nos atrevimos a soñar. En el 50o aniversario de mayo del 68, el sociólogo Juan María González-Anleo vuelve la vista atrás para comprender lo que sucedió entonces, y sobre todo por qué sucedió. Lo hace desde la honestidad de quien todavía no había nacido en esa época pero que ha investigado con rigor y profusión. Y llega a la conclusión de que "¡nos han robado 1968!". Lo han robado, dice, porque lo que entonces se reclamaba sigue siendo una poderosa invitación a soñar: "¡Sed realistas, pedid lo imposible!". "Este libro está escrito para un chico de 14 años que ha oído hablar del 68 y que se le han abierto mucho los ojos, pero que no sabe por dónde empezar".
Beginning with the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in 1875 and ending with the death of General Francisco Franco in 1975, this book explores the intersection of education and nationalism in Spain. Based on a broad range of archival and published sources, including parliamentary and ministerial records, pedagogical treatises and journals, teachers' manuals, memoirs, and a sample of over two hundred primary and secondary school textbooks, the study examines ideological and political conflict among groups of elites seeking to shape popular understanding of national history and identity through the schools, both public and private. A burgeoning literature on European nationalisms has posited...
Whether childcare is seen as part of society's educational policy, welfare policy, or employment policy affects not only its form and content but also its public image. The contributors in this volume use current polices for the care of infants and preschool children to analyze debates and track the emergence of new state welfare practices across a variety of social and political configurations-and offer some conclusions about which methods work the best.
