Sustainable Development Research and Practice in Mexico and Selected Latin American Countries
This book provides an essential overview of sustainable development research in Mexico. It discusses the empirical research methods and findings, as well as practical initiatives and projects being pursued in Mexico and other countries in the region. Although a number of Mexican universities are now conducting high-quality research on matters related to sustainable development, there are few publications that offer a multidisciplinary overview of research efforts for a broader audience. This book addresses that gap in the literature, providing researchers at Mexican universities – including those from other countries working in Mexico – with an opportunity to present their work, i.e. curriculum innovations, empirical work, activities, case studies, and practical projects. As such, it fosters the exchange of information, ideas and experiences, successful initiatives and best practices.

Reel Politics
In the mid-1980s, Neil Postman claimed that television made entertainment the natural format for the representation of all experience. While Postman’s argument still is pertinent to a description of contemporary television shows, it also seems increasingly more accurate to argue that “reality-based” entertainment is quickly becoming the referential format for televisual representations of our experience in the 21st century. Chapters in this edited volume explore reality television’s place within contemporary media landscape in terms of its potential for political engagement. The authors engage with a variety of issues such as politics of authenticity and performance, audience recepti...

Multiple Experiences of Modernity
Contemporary theories of modernity recognize the plurality or »multiplicity± of modernities. Often the differences are seen as institutional or cultural differences. Although this sort of research is important it cannot be ignored that it does not provide a clear understanding of the »human consequences±. The tradition that today is known under the name of Critical Theory, on the contrary, has been interested always first of all in the human consequences. This book wants to follow this ambition. The question it tries to search answers for is: what are the experiences that human beings are making in and within global modernity? Another question is important: what are the affinities and wh...
The SimCalc Vision and Contributions
This volume provides essential guidance for transforming mathematics learning in schools through the use of innovative technology, pedagogy, and curriculum. It presents clear, rigorous evidence of the impact technology can have in improving students learning of important yet complex mathematical concepts -- and goes beyond a focus on technology alone to clearly explain how teacher professional development, pedagogy, curriculum, and student participation and identity each play an essential role in transforming mathematics classrooms with technology. Further, evidence of effectiveness is complemented by insightful case studies of how key factors lead to enhancing learning, including the contri...
La traición de los filósofos
"La Corte y la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos muestran, en sus resoluciones, una acusada influencia del pensamiento filosófico de la posmodernidad, cuyas vertientes predominantes niegan la existencia de la verdad, la razón, la naturaleza y, ni digamos, la metafísica. Esto se advierte en temas controversiales como el aborto, el matrimonio igualitario y el inicio de la vida en la fecundación in vitro. Y no hay razones para suponer que -estos órganos interamericanos- seguirán un derrotero diferente en temas como la maternidad subrogada, la homoparentalidad y la eutanasia. Esto hace que cualquier “idea moral”, que haya podido estar en la base de los Derechos Humanos se de...

Nada mexicano me es ajeno
Archivo abierto y a la par ámbar y cristal, "Nada mexicano me es ajeno: papeles sobre Carlos Monsiváis", reúne una miscelánea textual alborotada pero congruente y crítica. Esta alacena compuesta por 16 pliegos acecha y asedia ese espacio cultural, esa zona amistosa y adversaria llamada Carlos Monsiváis, cifra de una persona, autor de una obra y una escritura, personaje, agonista y protagonista, ícono y aun mito; que atraviesa este tren de papel. El volumen incluye seis cartas intercambiadas entre 1970 y 1972, por Carlos Monsiváis, desde Londres; con el crítico literario mexicano y hombre de letras José Luis Martínez, juiciosamente presentadas por su hijo Rodrigo Martínez Baracs. "Nada mexicano me es ajeno" es un libro plural sobre una persona multánime. Incluye a su vez una muestra de algunas caricaturas y un recuento de los exvotos luctuosos que periodistas, dibujantes, artistas, caricaturistas, intelectuales y amigos, le dedicaron con motivo de su transición a la otra orilla. Entre estas dádivas destaca la imagen creada por Rafael Barajas Durán "El Fisgón", que se brinda como portada.
