Análisis del estado de cosas inconstitucional en el sistema penitenciario y carcelario en Colombia: propuestas para el Estado social de derecho
Esta obra presenta una visión amplia y detallada, pero a la vez crítica y propositiva, sobre los retos que enfrenta el Estado colombiano ante la crisis humanitaria de sus centros carcelarios y penitenciarios. También destaca los esfuerzos de la Corte Constitucional para enfrentar ciertos problemas estructurales que han causado graves violaciones a los derechos fundamentales de miles de personas privadas de su libertad. Los textos aquí reunidos, escritos por diversos juristas latinoamericanos, proponen un viraje hacia un modelo integral de organización política, social y jurídica; resaltan las obligaciones de todo el sistema de Estado; y promueven la construcción de una política criminal de corte humanitario y garantista. De este modo, se ofrece una herramienta útil para la implementación de un modelo que disminuya las conductas criminales, que no impacte de forma negativa las condiciones de reclusión, y que reduzca el hacinamiento carcelario.
Violencia sexual de género contra las mujeres adultas
La violencia sexual de género contra las mujeres adultas, con especial referencia a los delitos de agresión y abuso sexuales es un análisis desde una perspectiva jurídica de género de las raíces de esta modalidad de violencia que, lejos de lo que se podía esperar en una sociedad madura como la nuestra, va aumentando a medida que pasan los años, beneficiándose de los resquicios que ofrecen las nuevas tecnologías. Quienes abran este libro podrán encontrar en su interior una respuesta alternativa a la actual regulación de los delitos contra la libertad sexual, que incide en la disminución de la revictimización de las mujeres víctimas, pero también de la recriminalización de los...

Systemic Functional Linguistics
This stimulating volume provides fresh perspectives on choice, a key notion in systemic functional linguistics. Bringing together a global team of well-established and up-and-coming systemic functional linguists, it shows how the different senses of choice as process and as product are interdependent, and how they operate at all levels of language. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it covers a range of linguistic viewpoints, informed by evolutionary theory, psychology, sociology and neuroscience, to produce a complex but unifying account of the issues. This book offers a critical examination of choice and is ideal for students and researchers working in all areas of functional linguistics as well as cognitive linguistics, second-language acquisition, neurolinguistics and sociolinguistics.
Catharine Macaulay's Republican Enlightenment
The ‘celebrated’ Catharine Macaulay was both lauded and execrated during the eighteenth century for her republican politics and her unconventional, second marriage. This comprehensive biography in the 'life and letters' tradition situates her works in their political and social contexts and offers an unprecedented, detailed account of the content and influence of her writing, the arguments she developed in her eight-volume history of England and her other political, ethical, and educational works. Her disagreements with conservative opponents, David Hume, Edmund Burke, and Samuel Johnson are developed in detail, as is her influence on more progressive admirers such as Thomas Jefferson, J...

Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction 2013
This publication is the third biennial report coordinated by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR). The first and second reports focused primarily on public policy and the role of national and local governments in disaster risk reduction. This current report explores why increasing disaster risks represent a growing problem for the economic and business community at different scales. It examines how paradoxically business investments that aimed to strengthen competitiveness and productivity may have inadvertently contributed to increasing risks. This report seeks to engage businesses in a dialogue on disaster risk management that goes beyond the current emphasis on response and preparedness and instead identifies opportunities for the creation of shared value for business and society.
The Rebel
The Rebel is the memoir of a revolutionary woman, Leonor Villegas de Magnon (1876-1955), who was a fiery critic of dictator Porfirio Diaz and a conspirator and participant in the Mexican Revolution. Villegas de Magnon rebelled against the ideals of her aristocratic class and against the traditional role of women in her society. In 1910 Villegas moved from Mexico to Laredo, Texas, where she continued supporting the revolution as a member of the Junta Revolucionaria (Revolutionary Council) and as a fiery editorialist in Laredo newspapers. In 1913, she founded La Cruz Blanca (The White Cross) to serve as a corps of nurses for the revolutionary forces active from the border region to Mexico City...
International TESOL Teachers in a Multi-Englishes Community
This book embarks on an ever-expanding array of language, academic mobility, neoliberalism, and accompanying rich scholarly debates. It examines the ways in which international English language teachers in Saudi Arabia’s higher education system position themselves, negotiate, interact, adjust, make sense of their classroom dynamics, and validate their senses of selves and pedagogies in their day-to-day (dis)engagement with their institutions and encounters at work. Informed by rich empirical data from a multi-year, multi-site project in addition to other qualitative studies, the book reveals on-the-ground complexities involving speaker status, language, ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, sociocultural factors, emotion labour, work dynamic and professionalism. It promotes thinking beyond normative ideologies on marginalisation, the native and non-native speaker dichotomy, linguistic, racial, religious and ethnic (inter)relations, and translanguaging pedagogies, while also offering new material for original theorisation in multi-Englishes multilingualism, local-trusting-local and the limits of negotiability.
