This book examines a variety of subjective spatial experiences and knowledge production practices in order to shed new light on the specifics of contemporary socio-spatial change, driven as it is by inter alia, digitalization, transnationalization, and migration. Considering the ways in which emerging spatial phenomena are conditioned by an increasing interconnectedness, this book asks how spaces are changing as a result of mediatization, increased mobility, globalization, and social disl...
The 2021 volume of the benchmark bibliography of Latin American Studies.
Junto con (Trans)formaciones del Estado en los márgenes de Latinoamérica (2011) y Formas reales de la dominación del Estado (2014) Este volumen conforma una trilogía destinada a la comprensión del poder y lo político mediante estudios socioantropológicos e históricos que abordan diversos niveles y dimensiones del Estado. En dichos estudios, éste nunca aparece a priori como un objeto conceptual o empírico, sino, acaso, como una máscara de las relaciones de dominación, una representación colectiva heterogénea o una malograda pretensión unificadora del funcionamiento del poder. Como en los volúmenes anteriores, los diversos casos y contextos, locales y nacionales, abordados aquí ofrecen indicios robustos de la complejidad del poder y de lo político en América Latina, los cuales tienden a ser ignorados por las corrientes dominantes en la ciencia política y en las ciencias sociales. Sobre todo, ponen en juego un enfoque con una acusada sensibilidad histórico-socio-etnográfica para observar el fenómeno en su diversidad, lo que ayuda a ofrecer descripciones más realistas a menos mistificadas del Estado y de los procesos político-sociales.
This open access book is a unique resource for health professionals who are interested in understanding the philosophical foundations of their daily practice. It provides tools for untangling the motivations and rationality behind the way medicine and healthcare is studied, evaluated and practiced. In particular, it illustrates the impact that thinking about causation, complexity and evidence has on the clinical encounter. The book shows how medicine is grounded in philosophical assumptions that could at least be challenged. By engaging with ideas that have shaped the medical profession, clinicians are empowered to actively take part in setting the premises for their own practice and knowledge development. Written in an engaging and accessible style, with contributions from experienced clinicians, this book presents a new philosophical framework that takes causal complexity, individual variation and medical uniqueness as default expectations for health and illness.

In this Special Issue, we address the state of the art of the systematics of the main annelid groups and the improvements in the diversity they hold, with special emphasis on the latest discoveries in well-studied areas, expeditions to unsurveyed areas or environments, or the use of novel techniques that allow for the improvement of biodiversity knowledge. We are hoping that this Special Issue will provide a platform facilitating a review of current knowledge on the subject, identifying current research problems, as well as indicating directions and research trends for the future.
