Hidroeléctricas y sociedad chilena
Considerando la planificación, construcción y puesta en marcha de tres grandes centrales –Rapel, Colbún y Pangue-Ralco–, el presente libro analiza las representaciones sociales existentes en torno a la hidroelectricidad en Chile. Así, se postula que ha existido un sostenido tránsito desde un imaginario asociado a la modernidad tecnocrática, bajo las consignas del desarrollo y el progreso, hacia una resistencia anclada en el movimiento ambientalista, en el marco de la articulación de nuevos movimientos sociales en Chile y en el mundo. Lectura imprescindible para las discusiones en torno a la ecología, el cambio climático, la justicia ambiental y la alteración de los ecosistemas en contraposición a las crecientes demandas energéticas de la población.

Colchagua debe volver a ser región
(Versión Paperback de Amazon) Si existe un lugar verdaderamente huaso, campesino en nuestro país, ese es Colchagua. Con una identidad vinculada a lo rural, esta zona ha debido sufrir, estoicamente, la permanente postergación de que ha sido objeto durante las últimas cinco décadas tras su anexión a Rancagua, mediante una normativa ilegítima que no tomó en cuenta las cuestiones culturales, económicas y sociales que nos diferencian de aquella ciudad y sus territorios aledaños. Revertir esa situación no es solo una necesidad, es un deber. Con el objetivo de iniciar con seriedad el debate y motivar la creación de una nueva región, presento a la luz pública este libro. No es una idea...
Teaching, Affirming, and Recognizing Trans and Gender Creative Youth
Winner of the 2018 Outstanding Book by the Michigan Council Teachers of English Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2018 Winner of the 2017 AERA Division K (Teaching and Teacher Education) Exemplary Research Award This book draws upon a queer literacy framework to map out examples for teaching literacy across pre-K-12 schooling. To date, there are no comprehensive Pre-K-12 texts for literacy teacher educators and theorists to use to show successful models of how practicing classroom teachers affirm differential (a)gender bodied realities across curriculum and schooling practices. This book aims to highlight how these enactments can be made readily conscious to teachers as a reminder that gender normativity has established violent and unstable social and educational climates for the millennial generation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, (a)gender/(a)sexual, gender creative, and questioning youth.

Introduction to Antiphilosophy
Philosophy is traditionally understood as the search for universal truths, and philosophers are supposed to transmit those truths beyond the limits of their own culture. But, today, we have become sceptical about the ability of an individual philosopher to engage in 'universal thinking', so philosophy seems to capitulate in the face of cultural relativism. In Introduction to Antiphilosophy, Boris Groys argues that modern 'antiphilosophy' does not pursue the universality of thought as its goal but proposes in its place the universality of life, material forces, social practices, passions, and experiences - angst, vitality, ecstasy, the gift, revolution, laughter or 'profane illumination' - and he analyses this shift from thought to life and action in the work of thinkers from Kierkegaard to Derrida, from Nietzsche to Benjamin. Ranging across the history of modern thought, Introduction to Antiphilosophy endeavours to liberate philosophy from the stereotypes that hinder its development.

Under Suspicion
The public generally regards the media with suspicion and distrust. Therefore, the media's primary concern is to regain that trust through the production of sincerity. Advancing the field of media studies in a truly innovative way, Boris Groys focuses on the media's affect of sincerity and its manufacture of trust to appease skeptics. Groys identifies forms of media sincerity and its effect on politics, culture, society, and conceptions of the self. He relies on different philosophical writings thematizing the gaze of the other, from the theories of Heidegger, Sartre, Mauss, and Bataille to the poststructuralist formulations of Lacan and Derrida. He also considers media "states of exception" and their creation of effects of sincerity—a strategy that feeds the media's predilection for the extraordinary and the sensational, further fueling the public's suspicions. Emphasizing the media's production of emotion over the presentation (or lack thereof) of "facts," Groys launches a timely study boldly challenging the presumed authenticity of the media's worldview.
