El objetivo de este libro es establecer relaciones entre los referentes teóricos que enmarcan la economía social y solidaria en América Latina y el territorio. Para lograrlo, se hizo un examen documental sobre la evolución en el tiempo de dichos conceptos. Esta revisión teórica se acompaña de la socialización de estudios sobre prácticas de la economía social y solidaria en los territorios en Colombia. Dada la diversidad que representa la economía social y solidaria, así como los mismos territorios en América Latina, no se puede hablar de una sola forma de hacer, para lograr las transformaciones que se requieren para conseguir un buen vivir.

This Handbook presents a broad overview of the current research carried out in environmental psychology which puts into perspective quality of life and relationships with living spaces, and shows how this original analytical framework can be used to understand different environmental and societal issues.

A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole.

This book analyzes the relationship between art and politics in two contrasting modern dictatorships. Through a detailed look at the Chilean and Romanian dictatorships, it compares the different ways in which political regimes convey their view of the world through artistic means. It examines how artists help \ convey a new understanding of politics and political action during repressive regimes that are inspired by either communism or anti-communism (neoliberalism, traditionalist, conservative). This book demonstrates how artistic renderings of life during dictatorships are similar in more than one respect, and how art can help better grasp the similarities of these regimes.
