Conocimiento, ambiente y poder
El libro Conocimiento, ambiente y poder. Perspectivas desde la ecología política es la segunda obra de la Red de Estudios Sobre Sociedad y Medio Ambiente (RESMA), la cual congrega a más de una docena de investigadores pertenecientes a diferentes instituciones académicas del país y del extranjero. Entre 2012 y 2016, discutimos y analizamos: ¿en qué medida las percepciones de la naturaleza son moldeadas por el conocimiento? ¿Qué tipo de conocimientos son legitimados en los procesos contenciosos o conflictivos? ¿Cuál es el papel del poder en la definición de los procesos sociales que intervienen en el cambio ambiental?

The Eighth Day
Can human social evolution be described in terms common to other sciences, most specifically, as an energy process? The Eighth Day reflects a conviction that the human trajectory, for all its uniqueness and indeterminism, will never be satisfactorily understood until it is framed in dynamics that are common to all of nature.

Using traditional ecological energy flow studies as background, society i...
Crucifixion by Power
"Quite the contrary of old generals, nations do not fade away; they have to be killed." Richard Adams' view of the nation as a basic social unit is central to this pioneering study in social anthropology. The result of many years of research in Guatemala, this volume utilizes the author's fieldwork as well as that of his colleagues and students to construct a set of concepts explaining how Guatemala reached the difficult circumstances in which it found itself in the 1960s—and still finds itself today. With the breakup of the great colonial empires after the Second World War, the curtain that had been drawn around Marx by Western social scientists fell away; countries once called "primitive...
The Chosen Primate
The Chosen Primate ends by looking forward to the next millennium, noting that our future depends on our response to another fundamental question: Will our culture, which has given us the means to adapt successfully to nature, ultimately destroy nature? In raising this question, Kuper shows that debates in anthropology are more than just academic disputes - they engage the major issues of our time.
