The Oxford Handbook of the Jesuits
Through its missionary, pedagogical, and scientific accomplishments, the Society of Jesus-known as the Jesuits-became one of the first institutions with a truly "global" reach, in practice and intention. The Oxford Handbook of the Jesuits offers a critical assessment of the Order, helping to chart new directions for research at a time when there is renewed interest in Jesuit studies. In particular, the Handbook examines their resilient dynamism and innovative spirit, grounded in Catholic theology and Christian spirituality, but also profoundly rooted in society and cultural institutions. It also explores Jesuit contributions to education, the arts, politics, and theology, among others. The v...
Imagen y Derecho de la Moda 2023-2024
"Why Fashion matters?" (¿Por qué importa la moda?) se pregunta la académica británica Frances Corner, ex directora del London College of Fashion a través del título de uno de sus libros. Desde aquí estamos convencidos que la moda importa particularmente al derecho, tanto que hace cinco años que dirigimos un suplemento especial dedicado a ella, el Suplemento de Imagen y Derecho de la Moda de elDial.com. La Moda importa a la economía mundial porque representó ingresos de 1,7 billones de dólares para Euromonitor y 2,5 billones de dólares para McKinsey según Fashion United, a comienzos del año 2023.

Italian Venice
In this elegant book Richard Bosworth explores Venice—not the glorious Venice of the Venetian Republic, but from the fall of the Republic in 1797 and the Risorgimento up through the present day. Bosworth looks at the glamour and squalor of the belle époque and the dark underbelly of modernization, the two world wars, and the far-reaching oppressions of the fascist regime, through to the “Disneylandification” of Venice and the tourist boom, the worldwide attention of the biennale and film festival, and current threats of subsidence and flooding posed by global warming. He draws out major themes—the increasingly anachronistic but deeply embedded Catholic Church, the two faces of modernization, consumerism versus culture. Bosworth interrogates not just Venice’s history but its meanings, and how the city’s past has been co-opted to suit present and sometimes ulterior aims. Venice, he shows, is a city where its histories as well as its waters ripple on the surface.
Acceso a la información, transparencia y derechos humanos: desde una mirada regional
Este libro tiene por objetivo brindar un panorama teórico y de política pública aplicada sobre el acceso a la información pública, la transparencia y los derechos humanos en el continente americano. Para ello, reconocidos autores y autoras analizan el estado de situación: avances, dificultades y desafíos de estos temas en la región. El libro se compone de tres partes. La primera aborda el derecho de acceso a la información pública desde una perspectiva teórica, destacando su carácter fundamental como requisito esencial para la toma de decisiones públicas. La segunda sección se centra en la aplicación práctica de este derecho y en las políticas públicas diseñadas para su implementación, destacando la brecha persistente entre la teoría legal y su implementación. Por último, la tercera parte examina el impacto del derecho de acceso a la información, la transparencia y la gestión de datos en la sociedad en general, prestando especial atención a los grupos en situación de vulnerabilidad.
