Ontología política desde América Latina
Esta obra, que integra diversos enfoques y estéticas escriturales, es una apuesta por comprender el sentido de una ontología política desde América Latina, en la cual se reconocen y se deconstruyen los legados del pensamiento occidental, situando lo disruptivo, lo que emerge desde la “filosofía contextual andina” y el pensar latinoamericano.
Uturunku Achachi
Nos enfrentamos a un nuevo paradigma en construcción, a una nueva idea que sub-vierte nuestra reflexión como seres situados acerca del “estar”. Dentro de esa instancia es que surge Uturunku Achachi: una revista que fortalece la propuesta que tenemos como Academia libre. Por ello es necesario comentar al lector cómo surge la propuesta, y con mayor explicitud, quienes somos. Uturunku Achachi, en voz quechua "de ancestros valerosos", es una revista de difusión científico-cultural con interés en la problemática de los Pueblos y las Culturas de nuestra Abya Yala, la misma tiene una periodicidad semestral y es editada en formato electrónico. El propósito es ciertamente una invitación, una provocación al lector: pensemos en pueblos vivos. Al pensar a lo largo de esta tierra tenemos todo un pluriverso, como lo dijeran los filósofos de la Libe-ración, para observar el basto terreno que nos rodea. Esa es la invitación y la reflexión que nos convoca. Queremos quitar ese sesgo demonizante que rodea la idea de nuestros Pueblos, de nuestras Culturas.
Tecnología, agencia y transhumanismo.
La filosofía de la tecnología es uno de los campos teóricos de mayor relevancia actualmente, en correspondencia con la creciente influencia de las tecnologías en la vida de la humanidad. Este texto hace aportes específicos en este campo, en dos temas fundamentales: el problema de la agencia material de las tecnologías y el problema de la constitución tecnológica de la vida humana, debatido por el transhumanismo y el poshumanismo.

Education for Social Change
This book introduces students to education as a vehicle for social change. Douglas Bourn begins by providing historical context of how education has been linked to social change around the world and moves on, in the second section of the book, to discuss potential theoretical and conceptual frameworks for thinking about education for social change. The third sections covers how social change has been explored and promoted within different areas of learning, including schooling, youth work and higher education. The fourth section looks at the opportunities and challenges for promoting education for social change and reviews current international initiatives including those of global citizenship and climate change. Key theorists are introduced throughout the book including bell hooks, Dewey, Giroux, Gramsci, and Freire. Each chapter begins with an opening question and ends with bulleted concluding points, questions for discussion and a further reading list. The book includes a foreword written by Tania Ramalho (State University of New York, USA).
Sovereignty Over Natural Resources
In modern international law, permanent sovereignty over natural resources has come to entail duties as well as rights. This study analyses the evolution of permanent sovereignty from a political claim to a principle of international law, and examines its significance for a number of controversial issues such as peoples' rights, nationalization and environmental conservation. Although political discussion has long focused on the rights arising from permanent sovereignty, Dr. Schrijver argues that this has been at the expense of the consideration of the corollary obligations in also entails. His book thus identifies new directions sovereignty over natural resources has taken in an increasingly interdependednt world and demonstrates its relevance to current debate on foriegn-investment regulation, the environment, and sustainable development -- Back cover.
A Brief History of Citizenship
From Plato to Rorty, A Brief History of Citizenship provides a concise survey of the idea of citizenship. All major periods are covered, beginning with Greece and Rome, continuing on to the Middle Ages, the American and French Revolutions, and finally to the modern era. Heater effectively argues that we cannot begin to understand our current conditions until we have an understanding of the initial idea of "the citizen" and how that idea has evolved over the centuries. Important topics covered include how citizenship differs from other forms of sociopolitical identity, the differences between nationality and citizenship, and how multiculturalism has changed our ideas of citizenship in the twenty-first century. This concise and readable book is an ideal introduction to the history of citizenship.
