GeoHumanidades
"Por demasiado tiempo, para muchos de nosotros, sobre todo en Occidente, el mundo ha sido demasiado humano. Tenemos la necesidad de aprender de otros entornos basados en relaciones distintas a la división entre naturaleza y cultura, para así forjar imaginarios que nos ayuden en la tarea de estar compenetrados con el mundo” (Harriet Hawkins)
Los saberes múltiples y las ciencias sociales y políticas
Los textos reunidos aquí son testimonios de los debates alrededor de las perspectivas metodológicas y epistemológicas conocidas como monista y pluralista, que con frecuencia se confrontan en el campo de las ciencias sociales y políticas. Los temas que animaron las discusiones fueron: movimientos sociales o sociedades y comunidades en movimiento; saberes sociales: indígenas, populares y ancestrales; estudios sobre el género y la diversidad sexual; ambientalismo, ecologismo, desarrollo, animalismo y estudios sobre el territorio; investigación acción participativa, intervención sociológica y educación popular, y debate epistemológico
Psychiatry and Neuroscience Update
This broad and thought-provoking volume provides an overview of recent intellectual and scientific advances that bridge the gap between psychiatry and neuroscience, offering a wide range of penetrating insights in both disciplines. The third volume on the topic in the last several years from a varying panel of international experts, this title identifies the borders, trends and implications in both fields today and goes beyond that into related disciplines to seek out connections and influences. Similar to its two Update book predecessors, Psychiatry and Neuroscience – Volume III presents the current state-of-the-art in the main disciplines – psychiatry and neuroscience – and attempts ...
A história pelo avesso
São vários os méritos deste livro, destacamos apenas dois: o primeiro é a radical superação do histórico endogenismo de que enfermou o estudo do processo constitutivo da profissão, herança do velho conservadorismo; o segundo é a amplitude do seu horizonte analítico, que vai além das fronteiras brasileiras e latino-americanas. Para os profissionais do Serviço Social, este livro recupera criticamente a sua história recente (1960-1980) e lhes oferece parâmetros para a análise da sua contemporaneidade. Para os leitores da área das ciências sociais, atesta a maturidade intelectual alcançada pelos assistentes sociais no continente (e também na Europa Ocidental e nos Estados Unidos).
Social Justice in Clinical Practice
Social work theory and ethics places social justice at its core and recognises that many clients from oppressed and marginalized communities frequently suffer greater forms and degrees of physical and mental illness. However, social justice work has all too often been conceptualized as a macro intervention, separate and distinct from clinical practice. This practical text is designed to help social workers intervene around the impact of socio-political factors with their clients and integrate social justice into their clinical work. Based on past radical traditions, it introduces and applies a liberation health framework which merges clinical and macro work into a singular, unified way of wo...
Patient Citizens, Immigrant Mothers
According to the Latina health paradox, Mexican immigrant women have less complicated pregnancies and more favorable birth outcomes than many other groups, in spite of socioeconomic disadvantage. Alyshia Gálvez provides an ethnographic examination of this paradox. What are the ways that Mexican immigrant women care for themselves during their pregnancies? How do they decide to leave behind some of the practices they bring with them on their pathways of migration in favor of biomedical approaches to pregnancy and childbirth? This book takes us from inside the halls of a busy metropolitan hospital’s public prenatal clinic to the Oaxaca and Puebla states in Mexico to look at the ways Mexican women manage their pregnancies. The mystery of the paradox lies perhaps not in the recipes Mexican-born women have for good perinatal health, but in the prenatal encounter in the United States. Patient Citizens, Immigrant Mothers is a migration story and a look at the ways that immigrants are received by our medical institutions and by our society
Beach Management Tools - Concepts, Methodologies and Case Studies
This book provides an overview of beach management tools, including carrying capacity, beach nourishment, environmental and tourism awards (like Blue Flag or others), bathing water quality, zoning, beach typologies, quality index, user's perception, interdisciplinary beach monitoring, coastal legislation, shore protection, social and economic indicators, ecosystem services, and coastal governance (applied in beach case studies). Beaches are one of the most intensely used coastal ecosystems and are responsible for more than half of all global tourism revenues, and as such the book introduces a wide range of state-of-the-art tools that can be used to deal with a variety of beach challenges. Each chapter features specific types of tools that can be applied to advantage in beach management practices. With examples of local and regional case studies from around the globe, this is a valuable resource for anyone involved in beach management.
