No somos nada sin el otro/a. Esta es la mejor expresión del valor fundamental del cuidado. El cuidado que sostiene la vida. El cuidado que durante esta dolorosa pandemia ha sido la base fundamental para proteger la vida en todas sus expresiones. El cuidado que por siglos ha sido invisibilizado y desplegado especialmente por millones de mujeres en el mundo. Quien cuida y a quienes se cuida ha puesto en evidencia la división tajante sobre los cuidados. Como lo señala Judith Butler, todas y todos nacemos dependientes. En eso estamos en condición de igualdad. Pero es en la división sexual del trabajo y en la valoración que las sociedades hacen del cuidado donde empiezan las diferencias y las profundas desigualdades. Este libro nos ofrece un bien común intelectual, al documentar de forma cooperativa la organización social del cuidado de niñas, niños y adolescentes en Bogotá, Cartagena, Medellín, Cali y Bucaramanga, y nos propone como proyecto de sociedad “un movimiento significativo que ponga en el centro la vida y el cuidado como acciones para construirla, promoverla y conservarla”.

This book advances the theoretical account that Barbara Rogoff presented in her highly acclaimed book, Apprenticeship in Thinking. Here, Rogoff collaborates with two master teachers from an innovative school in Salt Lake City, Utah, to examine how students, parents, and teachers learn by being engaged together in a community of learners. Building on observations by participants in this school, this book reveals how children and adults learn through participation in activities of mutual interest. The insights will speak to all those interested in how people learn collaboratively and how schools can improve.
Both research and policy on balancing work and family life have tended to focus on mothers' lives. There has been a general lack of comparative research to the complex intersection between old and new forms of masculinity; and between fatherhood, work-life balance, gender relations and children's well-being. As a result, men's fathering roles and their struggle with work-life balance have often been neglected. These cultural challenges should be better theorized within family and social policy research. This volume examines how fathers fulfill their roles both within the family and at work and what institutional support could be of most benefit to them in combining these roles.
Who shapes the European Union's policy towards Latin America? How has this EU policy modified individual member states' relations with the region? This book provides a comparative account of seven member states' bilateral links with Latin America since 1945, in the context of their EU membership and based on the concept of 'Europeanization'. It illustrates how and why the main architects of this EU policy have been Spain and Germany. In contrast, Poland, Sweden and Ireland, which had little previous interaction with Latin America, have developed their current relations with that region virtually as a result of their EU membership. The United Kingdom and France lie in the middle: they have been influential in certain policy-areas and key periods in history, while they have adapted to what is done at the EU level in others. Practitioners, established academic experts as well emerging scholars in the field bring to be bear a novel combination of pioneering research and cutting edge conceptual analysis on this important but neglected area of the EU's foreign relations.
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
Hoffman provides a brilliant synthesis of family therapy. Starting with Gregory Bateson's seminal ideas on social fields, the book examines the key concepts of general systems theory. The author then explores the major schools of family therapy and such figures as Minuchin, Bowen, Whitaker, Haley, Erickson, and Ackerman, as well as the revolutionary work of Selvini Palazzoli.
A master class in family therapy--now updated with an additional ten years' case experience Few people have had as profound an impact on the theory and practice of family therapy as Salvador Minuchin. As one commentator put it, "Memories of his classic sessions have become the standard against which therapists judge their own best work." This new edition of the classic, Mastering Family Therapy, offers beginners and experienced practitioners alike the opportunity to learn the art and science of family therapy under this pioneering clinician and teacher. In elegant clinical interplays, Minuchin, his colleagues Wai-Yung Lee and George Simon, and eight advanced students provide answers to such ...
We all like to eat, but we are doing it wrong, and it gets worse every day. Deceived by the food industry, advertising, culinary fake news, and Aunt Bertha's nutrition advice, with every bite we are making nefarious decisions that steal our energy and make us both ill and fat. How can we stop this cycle? Who should we believe? How can we change our habits without becoming rigid and boring? In this book, renowned doctor Carlos Jaramillo offers robust answers to these questions and states that the key to optimal weight and health is our metabolism. Understanding what it is, how it operates, and what we can do to make it work in our favor is fundamental. And it is what the reader will accomplish on these pages.
