La eugenesia en Colombia: aproximación bioética a un problema de justicia social. 1900-1950
La eugenesia, al consolidarse como un movimiento científico con alcances políticos, económicos, culturales y éticos, logró convertirse en política de Estado. El imaginario eugenésico alcanzó a Latinoamérica, donde no se aplicó el exterminio, pero se patologizaron diferencias raciales y culturales. La presente investigación analiza como el Estado colombiano fomentó estrategias eugenésicas de mejoramiento racial, que constituyeron una política pública, con el objetivo de higienizar la sociedad, implementar una política migratoria restrictiva y regular el matrimonio, la maternidad y la escuela.
Cultura e Trabalho: Olhares Múltiplos Sobre a Experiência Social dos Trabalhadores
Cultura e trabalho é uma obra coletiva que emerge da colaboração entre professores, alunos e egressos do Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC- -SP). Com um foco especial na Linha de Pesquisa Cultura e Trabalho, os autores que o compõem expressam suas investigações sobre condição e experiências de trabalhadores inseridos em processos históricos nos quais homens e mulheres concretos tecem sua sociabilidade buscando garantir sua sobrevivência. Ao longo dos capítulos, o livro explora temas variados, desde a interseção entre esporte e trabalho no início do século XX até as dinâmicas de poder e repressão durante a dit...
Oxidative Stress and Chronic Degenerative Diseases
This work responds to the need to find, in a sole document, the affect of oxidative stress at different levels, as well as treatment with antioxidants to revert and diminish the damage. Oxidative Stress and Chronic Degenerative Diseases - a Role for Antioxidants is written for health professionals by researchers at diverse educative institutions (Mexico, Brazil, USA, Spain, Australia, and Slovenia). I would like to underscore that of the 19 chapters, 14 are by Mexican researchers, which demonstrates the commitment of Mexican institutions to academic life and to the prevention and treatment of chronic degenerative diseases.
The Europeanization of National Foreign Policies Towards Latin America
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.
The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
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.
The Teacher's Role in Implementing Cooperative Learning in the Classroom
Cooperative learning is widely endorsed as a pedagogical practice that promotes student learning. Recently, the research focus has moved to the role of teachers’ discourse during cooperative learning and its effects on the quality of group discussions and the learning achieved. However, although the benefits of cooperative learning are well documented, implementing this pedagogical practice in classrooms is a challenge that many teachers have difficulties accomplishing. Difficulties may occur because teachers often do not have a clear understanding of the basic tenets of cooperative learning and the research and theoretical perspectives that have informed this practice and how they transla...
Writing Identity
In the late 1970s, Brazil was experiencing the return to democracy through a gradual political opening and the re-birth of its civil society. Writing Identity examines the intricate connections between artistic production and political action. It centers on the politics of the black movement and the literary production of a Sao Paulo-based group of Afro-Brazilian writers, the Quilombhoje. Using Pierre Bourdieu's theory of the field of cultural production, the manuscript explores the relationship between black writers and the Brazilian dominant canon, studying the reception and criticism of contemporary Afro-Brazilian literature. After the 1940s, the Brazilian literary field underwent several...
