The Shape of Power
A major new survey of American sculpture, exploring how it both reflects and redefines concepts of race and identity in the United States How does American sculpture intersect with the history of race in the United States? The three-dimensional qualities of sculpture give it a distinct advantage over other art forms in capturing a subject’s likeness, and our minds can swiftly conjure a body and racialize it from the most minimal of prompts. The Shape of Power examines the role of American sculpture, from the nineteenth century to today, in understanding and constructing the concept of race in the United States and how this medium has shaped the way generations have learned to visualize and...
The State of Open Data
It’s been ten years since open data first broke onto the global stage. Over the past decade, thousands of programmes and projects around the world have worked to open data and use it to address a myriad of social and economic challenges. Meanwhile, issues related to data rights and privacy have moved to the centre of public and political discourse. As the open data movement enters a new phase in its evolution, shifting to target real-world problems and embed open data thinking into other existing or emerging communities of practice, big questions still remain. How will open data initiatives respond to new concerns about privacy, inclusion, and artificial intelligence? And what can we learn from the last decade in order to deliver impact where it is most needed? The State of Open Data brings together over 60 authors from around the world to address these questions and to take stock of the real progress made to date across sectors and around the world, uncovering the issues that will shape the future of open data in the years to come.
Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Policy
This book examines how Indigenous Peoples around the world are demanding greater data sovereignty, and challenging the ways in which governments have historically used Indigenous data to develop policies and programs. In the digital age, governments are increasingly dependent on data and data analytics to inform their policies and decision-making. However, Indigenous Peoples have often been the unwilling targets of policy interventions and have had little say over the collection, use and application of data about them, their lands and cultures. At the heart of Indigenous Peoples’ demands for change are the enduring aspirations of self-determination over their institutions, resources, knowl...
The Open Handbook of Linguistic Data Management
A guide to principles and methods for the management, archiving, sharing, and citing of linguistic research data, especially digital data.

It offers both principles and methods, presenting the conceptual foundations of linguistic data management and a series of case studies, each of which demonstrates a concrete application of abstract principles in a current practice. In par...

La evaluación de la gestión pública desde un enfoque decolonial: teorías, experiencias y aprendizajes
Esta obra parte de la necesidad de buscar formas de conocimiento en las políticas públicas, específicamente en la evaluación de políticas y programas. Desde un inicio, el enfoque eurocéntrico desarrollista se impuso como el único camino para alcanzar el desarrollo de las sociedades y con ello culminar un proyecto civilizatorio occidentalizado. No obstante, las diferencias socioculturales en el mundo demostraron que el modelo importado por Estados Unidos y Europa era insuficiente para Asia, África, América Latina y el Caribe. Es así que replanteamos el método del conocimiento dentro de las políticas públicas, sus cimientos, pilares y alcances. A partir de las experiencias de análisis de políticas públicas y, en específico, de la evaluación de programas y políticas públicas, decidimos extrapolar la pretensión de conocimiento al momento más abstracto: la epistemología. Es en este nivel que reconsideramos los porqués del inicio y paraqués de los fines de la acción pública. Pretendemos descolonizar/decolonizar la evaluación de los programas y las políticas públicas.
Prioridades locales de la gestión municipal. Análisis de los resultados del Censo de Población y Vivienda 2020
Al 2020, México cuenta con estadísticas actualizadas sobre las condiciones sociales y económicas al publicarse los Censos de Población y Vivienda 2020 y los Censos Económicos 2019, lo que permite enriquecer la actividad de investigación, análisis, diagnósticos y evaluación de las políticas públicas, que pueden sin lugar a dudas sustentar la toma de decisiones y diseñar escenarios de desarrollo más confiables que incidan en lograr lo que ONU hábitat plantea, guiar a las ciudades en los próximos 20 años para hacer de ellas espacios más seguros, amigables, sostenibles, resilientes, inclusivos, compactos, saludables, promotores del crecimiento sostenido, de interacción social y de expresión cultural para sus habitantes, donde las autoridades locales tienen una alta responsabilidad (ONU, 2017). Zemelman y Valencia (2010), reflexionan sobre el papel de la ciencia y la investigación para sustentar las actividades de planificación y la toma de decisiones, que aproveche el desarrollo y uso de la tecnología para promover un desarrollo equilibrado y más enfocado en el hombre.
Dracula in Visual Media
This is a comprehensive sourcebook on the world's most famous vampire, with more than 700 citations of domestic and international Dracula films, television programs, documentaries, adult features, animated works, and video games, as well as nearly a thousand comic books and stage adaptations. While they vary in length, significance, quality, genre, moral character, country, and format, each of the cited works adopts some form of Bram Stoker's original creation, and Dracula himself, or a recognizable vampiric semblance of Dracula, appears in each. The book includes contributions from Dacre Stoker, David J. Skal, Laura Helen Marks, Dodd Alley, Mitch Frye, Ian Holt, Robert Eighteen-Bisang, and J. Gordon Melton.
