The Cultural Connection of Drugs
This book is based on a critical view of the bio-behavioral model predominant in the study of drugs. A cultural viewpoint is proposed, with ecstasy as the reference. First it presents the use of ecstasy by groups who have left their imprint on the substance: young university students, gays, yuppies and members of the "New Age" movement. The link between ecstasy and techno music is shown, leading to the "rave" phenomenon. In spite of its clearly counterculture beginnings, the "rave" movement and its most characteristic drug, ecstasy, have gradually become integrated in the mainstream culture. This book explains ecstasy's path by calling on the cultural contradictions of capitalism and the functions that the substance may currently fulfil for youth. Based on this analysis, the implications of the cultural perspective are discussed as a new paradigm of research in the area of drugs, stressing notions of subculture, myths and rituals.

Diversidad y primera infancia: relato de la experiencia del trabajo con maestras, líderes comunitarios, familias, niñas y niños de Santiago de Cali
Cuando se habla de lenguaje es necesario revisar cuál es la concepción que se le confiere a este término. En mayor medida se puede escuchar, lenguaje es hablar y transmitir información, este sería un primer encuentro con una perspectiva poco enriquecida si el lenguaje es limitado solo este aspecto. Por ello la frase de Derrida, "una inquietud del lenguaje y en el lenguaje mismo". Como parte de uno de los aspectos del lenguaje, está la escritura por la cual el sujeto expresa su pensamiento de manera gráfica; en este presente escrito se desarrollará la reflexión y crítica frente a dinámicas tradicionales que escinden su carácter creador.
Jews, Food, and Spain
2022 National Jewish Book Award Finalist for Sephardic Culture A fascinating study that will appeal to both culinarians and readers interested in the intersecting histories of food, Sephardic Jewish culture, and the Mediterranean world of Iberia and northern Africa. In the absence of any Jewish cookbook from the pre-1492 era, it requires arduous research and a creative but disciplined imagination to reconstruct Sephardic tastes from the past and their survival and transmission in communities around the Mediterranean in the early modern period, followed by the even more extensive diaspora in the New World. In this intricate and absorbing study, Hélène Jawhara Piñer presents readers with the dishes, ingredients, techniques, and aesthetic principles that make up a sophisticated and attractive cuisine, one that has had a mostly unremarked influence on modern Spanish and Portuguese recipes.
