Thinking Globally and Responding Locally in the Church
How has Pope Francis’s groundbreaking document on marriage and family, Amoris Laetitia, been implemented in Africa? In Asia? In Latin America? In this volume, scholars from across these regions reflect on their experiences, correcting the overly western focus of most reactions to AL. The contributions look at local issues like polygamy in Africa, as well as more global issues in a local context, like feminism in Indonesia and synodality in Colombia. The reader will find that concerns about marriage and family can be similar throughout the world or specific to different contexts. As a whole, the book contributes to a more diverse and revisited catholic understanding of marriage and family.

Social Protests in Colombia
Social Protests in Colombia: A History, 1958-1990 examines social mobilization in Colombia through a variety of lenses in an interdisciplinary approach. Mauricio Archila-Neira incorporates theories from diverse social sciences including subaltern studies and postcolonial approaches to open up an intergenerational dialogue about political transformation and social change. Archila-Neira approaches this history from an objective viewpoint, offering an analysis from a distance not altered by emotion or hyperbole as he examines the values, traditions, and social collective action of subaltern sectors without external influence or motive. The book argues that academia bears the responsibility to put into play its accumulated symbolic capital to critically understand society, without abandoning the utopic effort to imagine another world is possible. Social Protests in Colombia teaches readers how to inhabit differences—of historical experiences, knowledge, and understandings—and why it is crucial to challenge a world that claims to be homogenous. Scholars of Latin American studies, sociology, political science, and history will find this book especially useful.

Critical Theories of Crisis in Europe
What is to be learned from the chaotic downfall of the Weimar Republic and the erosion of European liberal statehood in the interwar period vis-a-vis the ongoing Europeancrisis? This book analyses and explains the recurrent emergence of crises in European societies. It asks how previous crises can inform our understanding of the present crisis. The particular perspective advanced is that these crises not only are economic and social crises, but must also be understood as crises of public power, order and authority. In other words, it argues that substantial challenges to the functional and normative setup of democracy and the rule of law were central to the emergence and the unfolding of the...
La influencia del falangismo sobre las elites políticas colombianas
La influencia falangista en Colombia surgió con fuerza favorecida por una coyuntura colombiana turbulenta y singular, condicionada por el desarrollo de acontecimientos fundamentales en el periodo de entreguerras tales como el declive económico, la efervescencia social y la acentuación de una de crisis de legitimidad de un orden oligárquico bipartidista colombiano.
El traje delator
El vestir y la moda como fenómenos históricos materializados en la vida cotidiana permiten observar los cambios sociales, económicos y culturales presentes en el desarrollo de una sociedad, y ese es uno de los propósitos de este libro sobre la moda y las formas de vestirse en Bucaramanga en el periodo de 1960 a 1985. Este libro presenta un contexto general que permite el acercamiento a la atmósfera política y socioeconómica del periodo de estudio, a la vez que ilustra el proceso de diferenciación y distinción social de los roles masculino, femenino e infantil de los santandereanos. El libro evidencia la dificultad de enfrentarse a la ausencia casi total de trabajos que aborden esta problemática, en la capital santandereana, así como las dificultades que se presentaban para la consecución de las materias primas, la confección de los trajes y cómo los costos se incrementaban por dichos inconvenientes, lo que contribuía aún más a la estratificación social y cultural.
