Public Opinion and New Technologies. Reflections for its Analysis in Mexico
La opinión pública es un concepto que alude a un fenómeno social, a una práctica empíricoprofesional y a la observancia académico-científica de los dos anteriores. Este trabajo busca reflexionar en torno a ciertos cambios en las fuentes de conformación de la opinión pública en el contexto de la era de la información y el conocimiento. El documento hace énfasis en los cambios socio-culturales de un entorno tecnologizado, que ha suscitado nuevas fuentes y actores emergentes en la escena pública, para reflexionar en torno al papel que desempeñanlas nuevas tecnologías en la construcción de la opinión pública. Se sostiene que la tecnología genera nuevos procesos de autocomunicación y autoinformación que amplían el rango de fuentes configuradoras de la opinión pública, frente a los medios tradicionales, aunque tal fenómeno ocurra entre un sector de la población, el que tiene posibilidades de acceso y el capital cultural necesario, aspecto particularmente agudo en México. El trabajo plantea la necesidad de una aproximación teórico-metodológica particular para explorar dicho fenómeno.
The new spaces of political communication in the electoral process in 2012 in Mexico. The fiction and Electoral Reform 2007-2008
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar los nuevos espacios en que se ha vertido la propaganda política en el proceso de sucesión presidencial de 2012 durante su primera etapa, las precampañas. Las nuevas arenas donde se han difundido elementos propagandísticos corresponden al macrogénero de ficción, específicamente en televisión abierta, lo cual quedó fuera de las consideraciones de la Reforma Electoral de 2007-2008. Las más recientes modificaciones al marco jurídico en materia electoral se concentraron en regular los flujos de comunicación política de partidos políticos, prohibiéndoles a éstos y a terceros comprar espacios de propaganda, otorgándole al Instituto Federal ...
Climate Capitalism
Believe in climate change. Or don't. It doesn't matter. But you'd better understand this: the best route to rebuilding our economy, our cities, and our job markets, as well as assuring national security, is doing precisely what you would do if you were scared to death about climate change. Whether you're the head of a household or the CEO of a multinational corporation, embracing efficiency, innovation, renewables, carbon markets, and new technologies is the smartest decision you can make. It's the most profitable, too. And, oh yes—you'll help save the planet. In Climate Capitalism, L. Hunter Lovins, coauthor of the bestselling Natural Capitalism, and the sustainability expert Boyd Cohen p...
Philosophy in the Classroom
This is a textbook for teachers that demonstrates how philosophical thinking can be used in teaching children. It begins with the assumption that what is taught in schools is not (and should not be) subject matter but rather ways of thinking. The main point is that the classroom should be converted into a community of inquiry, and that one can begin doing that with children. Based on the curriculum that Matt Lipman has developed at the Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children, which he heads, this book describes the curriculum and explains its use. The text is self-contained, however. This revision is thorough-going and incorporates new chapters, as well as new material in ol...

Young Men and Masculinities
In this book Victor J Seidler, one of the leading contributors to the growing debate about masculinities, turns his attention to the lives of young men and their understandings of themselves as gendered beings. By contextualizing their experiences and subjectivities within a rapidly globalizing world, Seidler pays particular attention to the impact of the global media. How does the mass circulation of images of men's bodies, desires and sexualities affect their self-perception and behaviours, and how are these images framed within particular histories, cultures and traditions? Questioning universalist theories of 'hegemonic masculinities', the book argues that young men often feel caught bet...

Master Of Petersburg
WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE 2003 In The Master of Petersburg J. M. Coetzee dares to imagine the life of Dostoevsky. Set in 1869, when Dostoevsky was summoned from Germany to St Petersburg by the sudden death of his stepson, this novel is at once a compelling mystery steeped in the atmosphere of pre-revolutionary Russia and a brilliant and courageous meditation on authority and rebellion, art and imagination. Dostoevsky is seen obsessively following his stepson's ghost, trying to ascertain whether he was a suicide or a murder victim and whether he loved or despised his stepfather.
Defining Nations
In this book Tamar Herzog explores the emergence of a specifically Spanish concept of community in both Spain and Spanish America in the eighteenth century. Challenging the assumption that communities were the natural result of common factors such as language or religion, or that they were artificially imagined, Herzog reexamines early modern categories of belonging. She argues that the distinction between those who were Spaniards and those who were foreigners came about as local communities distinguished between immigrants who were judged to be willing to take on the rights and duties of membership in that community and those who were not.
