Entre 2005-2010 se desplegó en Colombia la política pública de "Seguridad Democrática", liderada por el régimen presidencial de Álvaro Uribe Vélez, cuyo objetivo era consolidar un proyecto político-militar de dominación de la sociedad civil. Los grupos y las clases subalternas, dispersas yen vías de organización, se movilizaron mediante protestas y luchas sociales, con las que alcanzaron cierta autonomía individual y colectiva frente al gobierno uribista y el Estado comunitario. Esta obra analiza la historia sociopolítica de los grupos y clases subalternas durante ese periodo, a partir de la revisión de la praxis política de campesinos, afrocolombianos, estudiantes, trabajadores e indígenas golpeados por la pobreza, el capital transnacional, la marginación y el régimen excepcional reelecto en el 2006

Qualitative Inquiry in the Public Sphere examines the relationships between public scholarship, the research marketplace, and the politics of higher education. It is written from the perspective that higher education is under attack from multiple sides, both political and economic; that academics reside in a precarious position, one fraught with accountability metrics, funding pressures, and spiralling bureaucracy; and that scientific knowledge itself is increasingly contentious in public. These internal and external pressures have fundamentally transformed the public sphere of higher education from one of rational public discourse by and for the public good to one of private market relation...

Stupidity. What is it? Is is just something we see our neighbors and parents/kids do (and members of the opposite political party)? Or is it something more? Why does it seem to be so universal? Are there fundamentals of stupidity that can be recognized? These are the questions discussed in this volume. It presents six fundamentals of stupidity that lead to the stupid choices we see all around us. Included among these are the belief that there are no moral values, that God does not exist, and that it is acceptable to become addicted and to treat others badly and be proud. In the end, we see that the only sure way to avoid the fundamentals of stupidity is through the saving power of Jesus Christ.
