Global Knowledge Production in the Social Sciences
An innovative contribution to debates on the internationalization and globalization of the social sciences, this book pays particular attention to their theoretical and epistemological reconfiguration in the light of postcolonial critiques and critiques of Eurocentrism. Bringing together theoretical contributions and empirical case studies from around the world, including India, the Americas, South Africa, Australia and Europe, it engages in debates concerning public sociology and explores South-South research collaborations specific to the social sciences. Contributions transcend established critiques of Eurocentrism to make space for the idea of global social sciences and truly transnation...
Modern Religious Differentiation: The Latin Mass (1517-1570)
The work has two purposes that unfold over four chapters. First, it presents the theory of social systems and religious sociology of Niklas Luhmann (1927-1998). Second, it applies the theory to the analysis of Christianity and in particular of the Tridentine Mass. The research bets that it is possible to study Christianity (and any other religion) strictly as communication, using a methodology (operational constructivism) as well as the naturalistic and positive disposition characteristic of the scientific endeavor. The book also tries to effectively combine historical research with sociological theory. It is a study in historical sociology. The foreword is written by Javier Torres Nafarrate.

International Perspectives on Global Environmental Change
Environmental change is increasingly considered a critical topic for researchers across multiple disciplines, as well as policy makers throughout the world. Mounting evidence shows that environments in every part of the globe are undergoing tremendous human-induced change. Population growth, urbanization and the expansion of the global economy are putting increasing pressure on ecosystems around the planet. To understand the causes and consequences of environmental change, the contributors to this book employ spatial and non-spatial data, diverse theoretical perspectives and cutting edge research tools such as GIS, remote sensing and other relevant technologies. International Perspectives on...
Elective Affinities
From the nineteenth century to the present, literary entanglements between Latin America and East Central Europe have been socio-politically and culturally diverse, but never random. The Iron Curtain, in particular, forced both regions to negotiate transatlantic «elective affinities», to take a stance in relation to the West, and to position themselves within world literature. As a result, the intellectual fields and creative productions of these regions have critically engaged with notions such as «post-imperial», «marginal», or «peripheral». In this edited volume, scholars from Germany, Brazil, Czech Republic, Hungary, Mexico, Poland, Slovenia, and Spain cross the globe from South to East and back to uncover transcultural and transareal convivialities. Their papers explore literary history, poetics, intellectual networks, and aesthetic theory, while discussing new key concepts in global literary history.
Perspectivas en las teorías de sistemas
En los diversos ensayos, los autores muestran la construcción de modelos matemáticos de sistemas abiertos para explicar, por ejemplo, el crecimiento orgánico; la perspectiva constructivista de sistemas complejos, aplicada a la comprensión de procesos sociales; las contribuciones al conocimiento de sistemas complejos en las investigaciones de Ilya Prigogine; la sinergética de Hermann Haken y los ensayos de Henri Atlan; el desarrollo de sistemas dinámicos complejos, y la teoría de sistemas de Niklas Luhmann.
