En el contexto global de la crisis de las humanidades, y en el marco local del posconflicto en Colombia, este libro se propone defender el lugar de las humanidades en la educación superior, como una herramienta fundamental que le permita a los estudiantes afrontar problemáticas como la manipulación mediática, la posverdad, la polarización política y el énfasis en la instrumentalización del conocimiento. En una sociedad que necesita reconstruirse a sí misma aprendiendo de su historia, esta obra reflexiona sobre las condiciones que se deben tener en cuenta para una mayor incidencia de la educación superior, a través de las ciencias humanas, en la formulación de propuestas orientadas a la educación para la paz. Por la actualidad y la pertinencia de sus argumentos es este un aporte significativo a la urgente conversación acerca de la necesidad de las humanidades en los currículos y las universidades hoy.
La educación y el sujeto político: aporte crítico ofrece la reflexión de la acción educativa desde una perspectiva social, política, ética y cultural, donde se privilegia la mirada hacia los contextos sociales en los que están inmersos los actores de un proceso de formación educativa. A partir de esa premisa, se presentan once capítulos integrados en cuatro núcleos temáticos que recogen los diálogos construidos en el Seminario de Fundamentación Política del Doctorado en Educación y Sociedad, espacio en el que se propuso relacionar de manera crítica al doctorando con su propia circunstancia de sujeto político y ético. Tal perspectiva implicó que cada uno se pensara como un ciudadano activo, con la capacidad de transformar el entorno educativo desde una doble condición: la de estudiante-trabajador, en esencia privilegiada para el entendimiento textual y contextual de un fenómeno educativo. Y, desde ese lugar, intentar la combinación del estado del arte, que domina desde el análisis referencial, con el estado de la práctica, que asume con su larga experiencia como formador o gestor educativo.
In this uniquely wide-ranging book, David Craven investigates the extraordinary impact of three Latin American revolutions on the visual arts and on cultural policy. The three great upheavals - in Mexico (1910-40), in Cuba (1959-89), and in Nicaragua (1979-90) - were defining moments in twentieth-century life in the Americas. Craven discusses the structural logic of each movement's artistic project - by whom, how, and for whom artworks were produced -- and assesses their legacies. In each case, he demonstrates how the consequences of the revolution reverberated in the arts and cultures far beyond national borders. The book not only examines specific artworks originating from each revolution'...

The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted many areas of our lives, including mental health. Lockdown and physical distancing measures have been one major effective intervention to counter the spread of the virus and reduce the impact of the disease. However, they have negatively impacted mental well-being and behaviors, either triggering the onset of new psychiatric symptoms and diseases or amplifying pre-existing ones. The pandemic and lockdown measures have also been associated with reduced access to treatment and facilities all over the world, further worsening mental health outcomes. The impact on mental health, although universal, varied between nations. Cultural and societal variables, including norms, values, religion, and stigma have played an important role in shaping COVID-19-related mental health symptoms, including anxiety, depression, grief, psychosis, and addiction. These sociocultural factors have also molded how mental health interventions are tailored and provided. Highlighting the intertwining relationship between the pandemic, mental health, and sociocultural factors are essential to managing emerging mental health symptoms adequately.
