This book offers a systematic study of media education in Latin America. As spending on technological infrastructure in the region increases exponentially for educational purposes, and with national curriculums beginning to implement media related skills, this book makes a timely contribution to new debates surrounding the significance of media literacy as a citizen’s right. Taking both a topical and country-based approach, authors from across Latin America present a comprehensive perspective of the region and address issues such as the political and social contexts in which media education is based, the current state of educational policies with respect to media, organizations and experiences that promote media education.
This book explores syntactic and semantic change in three types of construction in Spanish and Portuguese: (i) complex determiner phrases with clausal adjunction (el hecho de, o facto de), (ii) complex prepositions/complementizers and complex connectives (sin embargo de/sem embargo de, so(b) pena de), and (iii) complex predicates containing light verbs (dar consejo/conselho de).

Ancient autobiography has been the object of several studies and meetings. However, these have focused chiefly on the philosophical and literary aspects. This book aims to examine the development of political autobiography and memoirs in the Greek and Roman world, stressing, instead, the relation of a single work with the traditions of the genre and also the influence of the respective aims of the authors on the composition of autobiographies.

Political Autobiographies and Memoirs in Antiquity will be a highly valuable and useful reference tool for both scholars and students of Greek and Roman history and literature.
Los autores de TELOS 118 certifican que vivimos tiempos posnormales, un momento histórico y social caracterizado por la complejidad, el caos y las contradicciones. Las tres “C” de nuestro tiempo hacen que a la sociedad global le resulte cada día más difícil levantar la mirada hacia adelante, analizar las causas de los problemas y, más allá de soluciones inmediatas, proponer escenarios deseables, utópicos, y soluciones para alcanzarlos. En tiempos posnormales, en los que una parte de la ciudadanía añora la vieja normalidad, hay una sensación de urgencia permanente y el futuro se percibe como un tren fuera de control que se precipita hacia lo desconocido. Reina la incertidumbre y...
