Barrios vulnerables
¿Qué papel desempeñan los barrios en la provisión de bienestar, cuidados y ayuda mutua en las grandes urbes? ¿Cómo la combinación de arraigos locales y diferentes modalidades de movilidad espacial convierten estos espacios urbanos en importantes soportes socioexistenciales? ¿Cuáles son los servicios, equipamientos, arreglos formales e informales e iniciativas sociales y comunitarias existentes en los barrios para atender, al menos parcialmente, a las demandas de cuidados y de bienestar pendientes y con una cobertura pública residual? Estas son algunas de las preguntas directrices que han guiado esta investigación colectiva, centrada en Madrid y en los barrios urbanos vulnerables d...

Financialization
Beginning with an original historical vision of financialization in human history, this volume then continues with a rich set of contemporary ethnographic case studies from Europe, Asia and Africa. Authors explore the ways in which finance inserts itself into relationships of class and kinship, how it adapts to non-Western religious traditions, and how it reconfigures legal and ecological dimensions of social organization, and urban social relations in general. Central themes include the indebtedness of individuals and households, the impact of digital technologies, the struggle for housing, financial education, and political contestation.
Sociología del turismo
En este libro el turismo se presenta como un fenómeno complejo que se relaciona de muy diversas maneras con campos fundamentales de la vida social, como las estructuras de poder, la seguridad pública, las relaciones económicas, los procesos de urbanización, los eventos deportivos o los cambios demográficos. El turismo se aborda como un entramado de procesos que generan efectos ambivalentes: si bien, son muy apreciables los beneficios económicos y su influencia en el desarrollo de las sociedades, se analizan además impactos sociales que revelan su carácter problemático y conflictivo. La obra cuenta con las aportaciones de un acreditado grupo de sociólogos y sociólogas expertos en e...
Las agendas urbanas y el gobierno de las ciudades
El comienzo del siglo XXI se ha caracterizado por un renovado protagonismo de las ciudades, que se manifiesta tanto en el impulso de políticas específicamente urbanas como en su mayor notoriedad en el ámbito internacional. En la actualidad, las ciudades se configuran como lugares de centralidad política que han ido transformando su rol como actor colectivo, su forma de gobierno y de elaborar políticas públicas. En este marco, en los últimos años se observa un creciente lanzamiento de políticas urbanas o agendas urbanas de alcance internacional, nacional, regional y local que, aun presentando una heterogeneidad relevante, se caracterizan por un conjunto de elementos o posicionamiento...

New Advances on Zika Virus Research
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne member of the Flaviviridae family that historically has been associated with mild febrile illness. However, the recent outbreaks in Brazil in 2015 and its rapid spread throughout South and Central America and the Caribbean, together with its association with severe neurological disorders—including fetal microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome in adults—have changed the historic perspective of ZIKV. Currently, ZIKV is considered an important public health concern that has the potential to affect millions of people worldwide. The significance of ZIKV in human health and the lack of approved vaccines and/or antiviral drugs to combat ZIKV infection have triggered a global effort to develop effective countermeasures to prevent and/or treat ZIKV infection. In this Special Issue of Viruses, we have assembled a collection of 32 research and review articles that cover the more recent advances on ZIKV molecular biology, replication and transmission, virus–host interactions, pathogenesis, epidemiology, vaccine development, antivirals, and viral diagnosis.
The Encomenderos of New Spain, 1521-1555
While the Spanish conquistadors have been stereotyped as rapacious treasure seekers, many firstcomers to the New World realized that its greatest wealth lay in the native populations whose labor could be harnessed to build a new Spain. Hence, the early arrivals in Mexico sought encomiendas—"a grant of the Indians of a prescribed indigenous polity, who were to provide the grantee (the encomendero) tribute in the form of commoditiesand service in return for protection and religious instruction." This study profiles the 506 known encomenderos in New Spain (present-day Mexico) during the years 1521-1555, using their life histories to chart the rise, florescence, and decline of the encomienda system. The first part draws general conclusions about the actual workings of the encomienda system. The second part provides concise biographies of the encomenderos themselves.
