Obra colectiva que analiza las condiciones estructurales, sociales y locales en relación al bajo pueblo chileno-mestizo de la región sur y austral en Chile y Argentina durante los siglos XIX y XX.
La historia de Chile contada a través de sus más eminentes mujeres ¿A cuántas mujeres de la conquista o del Chile colonial conocemos? ¿Quiénes fueron Janequeo, Catalina de Erauso y Úrsula Suárez? ¿Por qué todavía resuenan los nombres de Teresa Flores, Ernestina Pérez, Inés Echeverría y Teresa Wilms Montt? ¿Por qué fue tan importante para las mujeres de la mitad del siglo xix el "decreto Amunátegui"? En esta contundente investigación la historiadora Gabriela Huidobro busca recuperar la memoria de las contribuciones femeninas y protagonismos de mujeres en los principales procesos de la historia de Chile desde el siglo xvi hasta comienzos del xx. La autora de esta obra reflexiona sobre la necesidad de revisar y replantear los relatos históricos para reconocer la presencia e importancia de las mujeres a lo largo del tiempo y en todos los ámbitos de la sociedad. De esta manera, cuestiona la visión tradicional de la historia chilena que, dominada por figuras masculinas y eventos políticos y militares, suele recordarlas solo como acompañantes o protagonistas pasivas de los principales acontecimientos.
Improved housing conditions can save lives, prevent disease, increase quality of life, reduce poverty, and help mitigate climate change. Housing is becoming increasingly important to health in light of urban growth, ageing populations and climate change. The WHO Housing and health guidelines bring together the most recent evidence to provide practical recommendations to reduce the health burden due to unsafe and substandard housing. Based on newly commissioned systematic reviews, the guidelines provide recommendations relevant to inadequate living space (crowding), low and high indoor temperatures, injury hazards in the home, and accessibility of housing for people with functional impairment...

One of great figures in the field, the Argentinian legal historian Víctor Tau Anzoátegui, published in 1997 his Nuevos horizontes en el estudio histórico del derecho indiano. The book, in which Tau addressed seminal methodological questions setting tone for the discipline’s future orientation, proved to be the starting point for an important renewal of the discipline. Tau drew on the writings of legal historians, such as Paolo Grossi, Antonio Manuel Hespanha, and Bartolomé Clavero. Tau emphasized t...

"Norms beyond Empire seeks to rethink the relationship between law and empire by emphasizing the role of local normative production. While European imperialism is often viewed as being able to shape colonial law and government to its image, this volume argues that early modern empires could never monolithically control how these processes unfolded. Examining the Iberian empires in Asia, it seeks to look at norms as a means of escaping the often too narrow concept of law and look beyond empire to highlight the ways in which law-making and local normativities frequently acted beyond colonial rule. The ten chapters explore normative production from this perspective by focusing on case studies from China, India, Japan, and the Philippines. Contributors are: Manuel Bastias Saavedra, Marya Svetlana T. Camacho, Luisa Stella de Oliveira Coutinho Silva, Rômulo da Silva Ehalt, Patricia Souza de Faria, Fupeng Li, Miguel Rodrigues Lourenço, Abisai Perez Zamarripa, Marina Torres Trimállez, and Ângela Barreto Xavier"--
