Media Activist Research Ethics
This book maps complex ethical dilemmas in social justice research practices in media and communication. Contributors critically analyse power dynamics that arise when building equitable research relations with media activists, social movements, and cultural producers, considering issues of access, control, affective labour, reciprocal critiques, and movement pedagogies. Authors probe the ethical challenges faced when horizontal relations inadvertently create conflicts leading to oppressive communication; when affective demands generate non-reciprocal relations of care; and when participant anonymity has to be balanced with self-expression and voice. Chapters explore engagements with digital technologies in developing research relations, covering new research practices from horizontal collectives to dialogical auto-ethnography; from community scholarship and pedagogies to decolonising research. The book asks researchers to consider the complexities of ethical practices today in socially engaged global research within the neoliberal university.
Representaciones sociales y contextos de investigación con perspectiva de género
En este libro se exponen diversas contribuciones de investigación social en contextos específicos. Se plantean reflexiones críticas acerca de fenómenos emergentes en la cultura y su dinámica de interacción multicausal, en su gran mayoría, desde una perspectiva de género. Cada colaboración expone su propia epistemología y aplicación metodológica, por lo que contribuye al avance de campos específicos de conocimiento y, por lo tanto, a una forma de comprender y articular categorías de análisis y promisorias en sus propios contextos de indagación.
El sexo y el texto.
Esta antología procura mirar de cerca el cruce entre etnografía y sexualidad, a la vez que problematizar sus interrogantes epistemológicas y metodológicas en América Latina. Los textos reunidos muestran que los entrecruzamientos entre deseo y normas morales, espacios de intimidad y foros públicos, afectos y economías de sobrevivencia o identidades e instituciones suceden de manera singular y con características particulares. En El sexo y el texto. Etnografías y sexualidad en América Latina, la sexualidad no es un objeto compartido y delimitado sino un terreno de disputas socioculturales, fisuras políticas y epistémicas, así como confrontaciones institucionales y subjetivas.
Earth at Risk in the 21st Century: Rethinking Peace, Environment, Gender, and Human, Water, Health, Food, Energy Security, and Migration
Earth at Risk in the 21st Century offers critical interdisciplinary reflections on peace, security, gender relations, migration and the environment, all of which are threatened by climate change, with women and children affected most. Deep-rooted gender discrimination is also a result of the destructive exploitation of natural resources and the pollution of soils, water, biota and air. In the Anthropocene, the management of human society and global resources has become unsustainable and has created multiple conflicts by increasing survival threats primarily for poor people in the Global South. Alternative approaches to peace and security, focusing from bottom-up on an engendered peace with s...
A las patadas
En Colombia, hasta ahora, el fútbol solo se ha pensado en masculino. El fútbol practicado por hombres forma parte de un acervo cultural que se ha utilizado permanentemente para construir una idea de nación hegemónica, y que constituye un elemento esencial de la cultura patriarcal del país. Mientras tanto, la historia y el desarrollo de las mujeres se ha relegado a la reproducción de unos roles específicos de género, como procrear, cuidar de la familia, atender al marido y mantener la casa en orden. Sin embargo, las mujeres han estado presentes en el desarrollo del fútbol desde sus inicios y han retado las dinámicas de opresión para construir espacios de liberación en su práctica...
Risks, Violence, Security and Peace in Latin America
This book analyses the war against drugs, violence in streets, schools and families, and mining conflicts in Latin America. It examines the nonviolent negotiations, human rights, peacebuilding and education, explores security in cyberspace and proposes to overcome xenophobia, white supremacy, sexism, and homophobia, where social inequality increases injustice and violence. During the past 40 years of the Latin American Council for Peace Research (CLAIP) regional conditions have worsened. Environmental justice was crucial in the recent peace process in Colombia, but also in other countries, where indigenous people are losing their livelihood and identity. Since the end of the cold war, capitalism aggravated the life conditions of poor people. The neoliberal dismantling of the State reduced their rights and wellbeing in favour of enterprises. Youth are not only the most exposed to violence, but represent also the future for a different management of human relations and nature.
