The “digital economy” is a conceptual umbrella referring to markets, organizations and their networks that are based on digital technologies, communication, data processing and e-commerce.

El rápido desarrollo tecnológico que ha multiplicado las oportunidades y contextos para aprender suponen un fuerte desafío para las instituciones educativas que deben repensar su papel en la sociedad actual. Como señala la Agenda Digital Europea, aunque 250 millones de personas en Europa se sirven de internet a diario, todavía hay millones que nunca lo han utilizado, quedándose excluidas del uso y disfrute de contenidos y servicios y de una participación plena en la sociedad. Las desigualdades lastran el desarrollo de las sociedades y reducen las capacidades de innovación y mejora. Por ello, la educación actual ha de servir a sociedades inclusivas, innovadoras y reflexivas.
Una de las paradojas más crueles que presenta la sociedad internacional actual es la alta tasa de hambre en las zonas rurales. En ellas se concentra hasta las tres cuartas partes de las personas en situación de inseguridad alimentaria severa, como lo muestran datos ofrecidos por las Naciones Unidas. A ello han contribuido numerosos factores, derivados de años, incluso décadas, de desatención y claro olvido.Evidentemente, esta situación, que se traduce en pobreza y, como indicamos, hambre, tiene una mayor presencia en los países en desarrollo, los menos adelantados, pero también países de renta media o desarrollo humano medio, caso de América latina. Ahora bien, con todo, hay que señalar que la referida desatención es general; es un fenómeno global, constatable en la mayoría de los países.

Prominent researchers from the US, Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Spain contribute experimental reports on language development of children who are acquiring Spanish. The chapters cover a wide range of dimensions in acquisition: comprehension and production; monolingualism and bilingualism; typical development, children who are at risk and children with language disorders, phonology, semantics, and morphosyntax. These studies will inform linguistic theory development in clinical linguistics as well as offer insights on how language works in relation to cognitive functions that are associated with when children understand or use language. The unique data from child language offer perspectives that cannot be drawn from adult language. The first part is dedicated to the acquisition of Spanish as a first or second language by typically-developing children, the second part offers studies on children who are at risk of language delays, and the third part focuses on children with specific language impairment, disorders and syndromes.

The book you hold in your hands is an interdisciplinary study on diaspora literacy in Afro-Central America. An exploration through various imaginings of times past, this study is concerned with how oxymoron, metonymy, and multilingualism deploy pluricentrical belonging. By exploring the interlocking of multiple roots that have developed on account of routes, rhizomatic historical imaginations are unearthed here so as to imagine an other Costa Rica.
