En este libro de investigación se considera que, pese a la insistencia de los Estados y los Organismos Multilaterales, la apuesta colombiana por el desarrollo debería ser enfocada hacia iniciativas que permitan recomponer el tejido social, los lazos comunitarios y las relaciones conviviales con la naturaleza. La educación, orientada a la realización de lo comunal, es una de esas iniciativas. La educación, concebida para realizar los cambios culturales futuros, puede ayudar en la construcción de una capacidad visionaria de la sociedad, en la creación de significados nuevos, de organizaciones colaborativas inéditas, de proyectos de vida colectivos, autónomos y autopoiéticos. La educación para la autonomía contribuye al establecimiento de nuevas bases para la vida social, por fuera de las lógicas del Estado, abriéndose a la autoorganización como pluralidad de mundos a través de redes planetarias interculturales.
Se presenta en este documento la multiplicidad de saberes que convergen en una universidad. Para este caso, desde el Centro de Innovación y Productividad (CIP) Dosquebradas (Risaralda) de la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia (UNAD), es un honor divulgar lo que desde el potencial del talento humano interesado y dinamizado a partir de acciones y estrategias de Ciencia, Tecnología, Investigación e Innovación (CTI+I) ofrece en el marco de los contextos educativos y sociedades contemporáneas. Dicho lo anterior, esa variedad de saberes en la UNAD, se han configurado a partir de la nominación desde las uniones y relaciones de maneras del conocer, bajo la estrategia organizativa de ...
Uno de los mayores retos a los cuales se encuentra abocada la sociedad colombiana está relacionado con la existencia de históricos modelos punitivos construidos en el marco de uno de los conflictos armados internos más prolongados de América Latina, y por otro, la existencia de unos retos institucionales que trae consigo el nuevo aparataje gubernamental elaborado en el modelo transicional, el cual reivindica otras formas no punitivas y verticales de la justicia. El reto entre las demandas por la justicia y la incorporación institucional de nuevas maneras para reparar los daños ocasionados por más de 60 años de un conflicto armado perfila en el horizonte temático construido en el pre...

Matthew Thiessen offers a nuanced and wide-ranging study of the nature of Jewish thought on Jewishness, circumcision, and conversion. Examining texts from the Hebrew Bible, Second Temple Judaism, and early Christianity, he gives a compelling account of the various forms of Judaism from which the early Christian movement arose.Beginning with analysis of the Hebrew Bible, Thiessen argues that there is no evidence that circumcision was considered to be a rite of conversion to Israelite religion. In fact, circumcision, particularly the infant circumcision practiced within Israelite and early Jewish society, excluded from the covenant those not properly descended from Abraham. In the Second Templ...
Nothing in Soviet-style communism was as shrouded in mystery as its secret police. Its paid employees were known to few and their actual numbers remain uncertain. Its informers and collaborators operated clandestinely under pseudonyms and met their officers in secret locations. Its files were inaccessible, even to most party members. The people the secret police recruited or interrogated were threatened so effectively that some never told even their spouses, and many have held their tongues to this day, long after the regimes fell. With the end of communism,ÿmany ofÿtheÿnewly established governments?among them Romania?s?opened their secret police archives. From those files,ÿas well asÿher personal memories, the author has carried out historical ethnography of the Romanian Securitate.ÿSecrets and Truthsÿis not only of historical interest but has implications for understanding the rapidly developing ?security state? of the neoliberal present. ÿ
This volume works through spatio-temporal concepts to be found in imperial practices and their representations in a wide range of media. The individual cases investigated in the volume cover a broad spectrum of historical periods from ancient times up to the present. Well-known international scholars treat special cases of the topic, using cutting-edge theory and approaches stemming from historical, cartographic, religious, literary, media studies, as well as ethnography.
Yes, there were cataclysms (among them The Flood) in the course of history, but no, there was no evolution. The Earth's crust is relatively young and no more than a few thousand years ago; its poles were free of ice. Published in nine languages, this international best-seller puts the latest discoveries and new evidence against Darwin's 'Theory of Evolution'. The author, who owes his insights and expertise to numerous excavations he participated in, describes recent findings that -- in line with suppressed results of scientific research -- prove what seems unthinkable to us today: Darwin is wrong.
Companies and organizations everywhere cite creativity as the most desirable - and elusive - leadership quality of the future. Yet scores measuring creativity among American children have been on the wane for decades. A specialist in creative leadership, professor James Haywood Rolling, Jr. knows firsthand that the classroom is a key to either unlocking or blocking the critical imagination. He argues that today's schools, with their focus on rote learning and test-taking, work to stymie creativity, leaving children cut off from their natural impulses and boxed in by low expectations. Drawing on cutting-edge research in the realms of biological swarm theory, systems theory, and complexity the...
The Legacy of Israel in Judah's Bible undertakes a comprehensive re-evaluation of the Bible's primary narrative in Genesis through Kings as it relates to history. It divides the core textual traditions along political lines that reveal deeply contrasting assumptions, an approach that places biblical controversies in dialogue with anthropologically informed archaeology. Starting from close study of selected biblical texts, the work moves toward historical issues that may be illuminated by both this material and a larger range of textual evidence. The result is a synthesis that breaks away from conventional lines of debate in matters relating to ancient Israel and the Bible, setting an agenda for future engagement of these fields with wider study of antiquity.
