El presente volumen muestra distintas facetas de la crítica feminista del humanismo clásico desde el siglo XV hasta la actualidad. A través de una deconstrucción de sus narrativas de subordinación se construye una nueva tradición escrita que busca romper con la concepción de la mujer como segundo sexo. De este modo la escritura femenina se convierte espacio de pensamiento subversivo y en impulsora de transformaciones sociales y culturales a través de una palabra nueva, insurgente, crítica y rupturista. Una revitalización del humanismo como bien común global solo será posible, desde esta perspectiva, a través de una redefinición de lo humano.
La Historia y la Historia de la Literatura se han dejado en el tintero a la mitad de las protagonistas que han contribuido a conformar la vida tal y como la conocemos hoy: mujeres que el canon tradicional decidió dejar en los márgenes de lo hegemónico. La academia no tiene -o no ha querido tener- memoria. La recuperación de las muy distintas voces de las autoras que a lo largo de los siglos han conseguido romper con la constante desvalorización hacia sus producciones artísticas, forma parte del ideario feminista para la creación de una memoria histórica y literaria ad aeternam, en la que se reconstruye la cultura y se contruye la memoria futura de las mujeres. Las aportaciones del vo...
This book presents papers by experts in the field of Industrial Engineering, covering topics in business strategy; modelling and simulation in operations research; logistics and production; service systems; innovation and knowledge; and project management.

The archaeology of death and burial is central to our attempts to understand vanished societies. Through the remains of funerary rituals we can learn not only about the attitudes of prehistoric people to death and the afterlife, but also about their way of life, their social organisation and their view of the world. This ambitious book reviews the latest research in this huge and important field, and describes the sometimes controversial interpretations that have led to rapid advances in our understanding of life and death in the distant past. A unique overview and synthesis of one of the most revealing fields of research into the past, it covers archaeology's most breathtaking discoveries, from Tutankhamen to the Ice Man, and will find a keen market among archaeologists, historians and others who have a professional interest in, or general curiosity about, death and burial.
The beginning of the Neolithic in Britain marks the end of a hunter-gatherer way of life with the introduction of domesticated plants and animals, polished stone tools, and a range of new monuments. Julian Thomas offers a coherent argument to explain the process of transition between the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods.

The aim of the editors and contributing authors is to provide the reader with a set of experiences illustrating the advantages of communicating and encouraging entrepreneurship among students, thereby highlighting the “third mission” of the university: the need to adopt entrepreneurial strategy without disrupting the quality of teaching and research. Featuring initiatives from institutions around the world, the authors argue that the increasing importance of knowledge in t...
