La evaluación como proceso en la educación superior : una apuesta desde la sistematización de experiencias significativas
Dado el lugar preponderante que ha ido ganando el desarrollo y fortalecimiento de competencias en los estudiantes que se preparan como futuros profesionales, así como la manera de evidenciar el avance de dichas competencias, la evaluación de los aprendizajes en la educación superior constituye un tema que reviste cada vez mayor relevancia. En este sentido, las nuevas tendencias y teorías sobre evaluación de los aprendizajes, abordan el rol central que esta tiene, como elemento constitutivo fundamental para la mejora de los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje, resignificando importantes interrogantes sobre el contexto y significado de la evaluación, como, por ejemplo, qué evaluar, cu...
Theories of the Nonobject
"Theories of the Nonobject investigates the crisis of the sculptural and painterly object in the concrete, neoconcrete, and constructivist practices of artists in Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela, with case studies of specific movements, artists, and critics. Amor traces their role in the significant reconceptualization of the artwork that Brazilian critic and poet Ferreira Gullar heralded in 'Theory of the Nonobject' in 1959, with specific attention to a group of major art figures including Lygia Clark, Hélio Oiticica, and Gego, whose work proposed engaged forms of spectatorship that dismissed medium-based understandings of art. Exploring the philosophical, economic, and political underpinnings of geometric abstraction in post-World War II South America, Amor highlights the overlapping inquiries of artists and critics who, working on the periphery of European and US modernism, contributed to a sophisticated conversation about the nature of the art object"--Provided by publisher.
Unmaking Waste
Explores the concept of waste from fresh historical, cultural, and geographical perspectives. Garbage is often assumed to be an inevitable part and problem of human existence. But when did people actually come to think of things as “trash”—as becoming worthless over time or through use, as having an end? Unmaking Waste tackles these questions through a long-term, cross-cultural approach. Drawing on archaeological finds, historical documents, and ethnographic observations to examine Europe, the United States, and Central America from prehistory to the present, Sarah Newman traces how different ideas about waste took shape in different times and places. Newman examines what people consid...
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Mexican Political Biographies, 1884–1934
Here is an authoritative reference work that makes biographies of prominent Mexican national politicians from the period 1884–1934 available in English. Like the author's biographical directory for the years 1935–2009, it draws on many years of research in Mexico and the United States and seeks not only to provide accurate biographical information about each entry but also, where possible and appropriate, to connect these politicians to more recent leadership generations. Thus, Mexican Political Biographies, 1884-1934 not only is a useful historical source but also provides additional information on the family backgrounds of many contemporary figures. The work includes those figures who ...
Venezuela's Oil
Venezuela’s Oil (1978) explains the years of social injustice faced by oil-producing countries that led to the founding of OPEC. Venezuela, a founder member, is perhaps the best example of a young country claiming a just price for a non-renewable commodity. The fight for Venezuela’s oil is also closely linked to Betancourt’s political life, and here he examines the politics of the international oil business as regards to his own country.
