Bioethics
The aim of this book is to introduce and discuss bioethics in a three-synergistic way: from the foundations to the current debates in relation to healthcare and social bioethics, and thereafter the possible future challenges. In this sense, the target audience can be from diverse disciplines: life and medical sciences, law, philosophy, psychology, and education. The book will be useful to high school students, in their first contacts with bioethics, college students, teachers and researchers, and the general public interested in these controversial debates of the past, present and future of bioethics.

1926-2016 Fritz Jahr's Bioethics
The ethics of valuing bios in all their forms and shapes has been an essential part of great and successful cultures from the millennia-old Vedic tradition of 'tattvamasi'-this is also you: this plant, this animal, this microbe, this ecosystem-to the simple hands-on call of Jesus's 'love your neighbor.' But as a term bioethics was coined 90 years ago by Fritz Jahr, an educator and pastor in Halle in his Bioethical Imperative 'Respect every Living Being as an end in itself and treat it, if possible, as such.' This book examines the development of Fritz Jahr's concept of bioethics over the last ninety years. (Series: Practical Ethics - Controversies / Ethik in der Praxis - Kontroversen, Vol. 33) [Subject: Ethics, Bioethics, Philosophy]
Imaginarios de los trastornos mentales en las series
Muchas de las grandes series actuales tienen como protagonistas a personas con esquizofrenia, depresión, psicopatía o autismo. A través de dichos personajes, el espectador conecta con su propia fragilidad y diferencia, y combate muchos de los temores y fantasmas de nuestros tiempos posmodernos. Esta colección de capítulos nos permite adentrarnos en el retrato de la enfermedad mental que se hace en nuestras ficciones televisivas y en los imaginarios sociales que se transmiten a través de ellas. Con estas páginas proponemos un viaje al fondo de la locura a través de series tan populares como Mindhunter, Game of Thrones, Killing Eve, 13 Reasons Why, Euphoria y tantas otras.
Notas de viaje
Este libro nace del interés de las instituciones académicas latinoamericanas y europeas agrupadas en el Colectivo Iberoamericano de Bioética y Cine (CIBC) en contribuir a la búsqueda de sentido en medio del absurdo que representa la perseverancia de la vida durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Sin aspirar a conclusiones definitivas sobre un proceso histórico trascendental en los planos subjetivos y comunitarios, reúne trece escritos breves que dan cuenta de reflexiones y experiencias vitales en tiempos de pandemia, aprovechando el cine y la literatura como espejos de los significados de pestes antiguas y pestes por venir y los aprendizajes para la investigación, la salud pública y la salvaguarda de los derechos fundamentales.
Los antihéroes no nacen, se forjan
¿Por qué nos sentimos atraídos por personajes antiheroicos? Para entender a estos personajes, sus motivaciones y la atracción que generan en el espectador, haremos un original viaje del antihéroe, trazaremos las etapas de su patrón narrativo, crearemos una clasificación que permita entender quién es y qué le separa de héroes y villanos, y estableceremos los principales rasgos de su personalidad. Este libro está dirigido a aquellas personas que tengan interés por la narrativa y la cultura audiovisual, pero también a quienes quieran saber cómo se crean los antihéroes y antiheroínas de novelas, series, películas y videojuegos.
