El mundo de las presencias es simulado, presentado y representado en el medio digital. En el contexto de la comunicación digital-virtual, y a partir de las recientes transformaciones en sus soportes, las colecciones multimodales de información pasan a un estado en el que el acceso de los sujetos informacionales a la información se puede facilitar y ampliar. En tal universo, la información y los datos representados necesitan tratamientos conceptuales y técnicos que respeten la naturaleza y las particularidades de los medios y de los lenguajes que transitan por ellos. Además, al ser procesados en un medio frágil como es el digital, la información codificada para medios electrónicos ta...
O mundo das presenças é simulado, apresentado e representado no meio digital. No contexto da comunicação dígito-virtual, e a partir das recentes transformações em seus suportes, os acervos multimodais de informação passam para um estado em que o acesso dos sujeitos informacionais às informações pode ser facilitado e expandido. Em tal universo, a informação e os dados representados necessitam de tratamentos conceituais e técnicos que respeitem a natureza e as particularidades dos meios e das linguagens que neles transitam. Além disso, por tramitarem em um meio frágil como é o digital, as informações codificadas para suportes eletrônicos também necessitam de procedimentos...
Colombia's status as the fourth largest nation in Latin America and third most populous—as well as its largest exporter of such disparate commodities as emeralds, books, processed cocaine, and cut flowers—makes this, the first history of Colombia written in English, a much-needed book. It tells the remarkable story of a country that has consistently defied modern Latin American stereotypes—a country where military dictators are virtually unknown, where the political left is congenitally weak, and where urbanization and industrialization have spawned no lasting populist movement. There is more to Colombia than the drug trafficking and violence that have recently gripped the world's atte...

It is increasingly evident that the conventional scientific approach to economic processes and related sustainability issues is seriously flawed. No economist predicted the current planetary crisis even though the world has now undergone five severe recessions primed by dramatic increases in the price of oil. This book presents the results of more than twenty years of work aimed at developing an alternative method of analysis of the economic process and related sustainability issues: it is possible to perform an integrated and comprehensive analysis of the sustainability of socio-economic systems using indicators and variables that have been so far ignored by conventional economists. The boo...

This book reveals how school memories offer not only a tool for accessing the school of the past, but also a key to understanding what people today know (or think they know) about the school of the past. It describes, in fact, how historians’ work does not purely and simply consist in exploring school as it really was, but also in the complex process of defining the memory of school as one developed and revisited over time at both the individual and collective level. Further, it investigates the extent to which what people “know” reflects the reality or is in fact a product of stereotypes that are deeply rooted in common perceptions and thus exceedingly difficult to do away with. The book includes fifteen peer-reviewed contributions that were presented and discussed during the International Symposium “School Memories. New Trends in Historical Research into Education: Heuristic Perspectives and Methodological Issues” (Seville, 22-23 September, 2015).
In this Very Short Introduction Chris Shilling considers the social significance of the human body, and the importance of the body to individual and collective identities. He examines how bodies not only shape but are shaped by the social, cultural, and material contexts in which humans live.
