Este libro analiza las posibilidades de innovación educativa, en un intento de frenar los problemas que genera el inmovilismo, y propugnar, por lo tanto, la mejora de la enseñanza asumiendo las responsabilidades que a todos los agentes implicados en la educación les competen.
El eslogan «Volver a pensar la educación» quiere ser la expresión de una necesidad imperiosa para todas aquellas personas relacionadas de distinta forma con las ideas y prácticas educativas que se sienten inseguras desde un punto de vista intelectual, ético y práctico en un mundo cambiante. Personas que no pueden disponer de referentes claros acerca de las formas de desarrollo científico y cultural de los pueblos, de modelos sociales con los que sentirse comprometidas y al servicio de los cuales poner un proyecto educativo coherente. La perplejidad y la incertidumbre son el resultado de apreciar un mundo que muestra cada vez con más crudeza ciertos rasgos de irracionalidad, de desig...
What's in a nineteenth-century philanthropist? Fear of an uprising. But the frightened philanthropist has a remedy. Aware that the urban surge of the working-class masses in Spain would create a state of emergency, he or she devises a means to seduce the masses away from rebellion by taking on himself or herself the role of the seducer: the capitalist intellectual hero invested in the caretaking of the unpredictable working class. Intellectual Philanthropy examines cultural practices used by philanthropists in modern Iberia. It explains the meaning and role of intellectual philanthropy by focusing on the devices and apparatuses philanthropists devised to realize their projects. Intellectual ...

As artificial reproductive technologies become available to populations that have previously not had access to them, this book asks how reproduction is being transformed by technologies and individuals whose sexual and reproductive lives may defy sociocultural norms, religious codes and national laws. Seeking to develop a novel approach for studying the families of the 21st century, it examines the uptake of assisted reproductive technologies by women who opt for lone motherhood, exploring the circulation of reproductive technologies, bodily material, and ideas in two countries recognised as leaders in ART and sexual and reproductive health rights. Through ethnographic research in Spain and the UK, it considers the localisation of assisted reproductive technologies and the ways in which the socio-cultural, politico-legal and ideological intersections between non-normative families and ARTs shape the experiences of those who take them up. A multi-sited ethnography that explores the implementation, use and experience of assisted reproductive technologies, this volume will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, gender studies and science and technology studies.
On October 13, 1909, Francisco Ferrer, the notorious Catalan anarchist educator and founder of the Modern School, was executed by firing squad. The Spanish government accused him of masterminding the Tragic Week rebellion, while the transnational movement that emerged in his defense argued that he was simply the founder of the groundbreaking Modern School of Barcelona. Was Ferrer a ferocious revolutionary, an ardently nonviolent pedagogue, or something else entirely? Anarchist Education and the Modern School is the first historical reader to gather together Ferrer’s writings on rationalist education, revolutionary violence, and the general strike (most translated into English for the first...
