Este libro presenta una mirada crítica y reflexiva de distintas temáticas tratadas en un departamento que tiene una larga trayectoria en la enseñanza de lenguas y el análisis crítico de lo cultural y lo lingüístico: a lo largo de diferentes artículos permite un recorrido por las áreas, las líneas de investigación, las preguntas metodológicas que dan forma al trabajo de los profesores de Lenguas y Cultura. Más allá de las diferencias, su lectura permite reconocer, en la pedagogía de una lengua extranjera como en los estudios culturales, la misma tensión hacia la otredad, la diversidad y la relación entre lengua, lenguaje y cultura. Este Documento de Ciencias Sociales se presenta en dos tomos (1. Prácticas pedagógicas; 2. Escenarios para los estudios culturales) que recogen materiales útiles para un diálogo entre áreas, docentes y estudiantes.ç

War Echoes examines how Latina/o cultural production has engaged with U.S. militarism in the post–Viet Nam era. Analyzing literature alongside film, memoir, and activism, Ariana E. Vigil highlights the productive interplay among social, political, and cultural movements while exploring Latina/o responses to U.S. intervention in Central America and the Middle East. These responses evolved over the course of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries—from support for anti-imperial war, as seen in Alejandro Murguia's Southern Front, to the disavowal of all war articulated in works such as Demetria Martinez’s Mother Tongue and Camilo Mejia’s Road from Ar Ramadi. With a focus on how issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality intersect and are impacted by war and militarization, War Echoes illustrates how this country’s bellicose foreign policies have played an integral part in shaping U.S. Latina/o culture and identity and given rise to the creation of works that recognize how militarized violence and values, such as patriarchy, hierarchy, and obedience, are both enacted in domestic spheres and propagated abroad.

Este libro explora la dimensión ética de las resistencias ejercidas contra el biopoder. Hacia una ética en la era del biopoder analiza tres fenómenos específicos (la norma, la sexualidad y el gobierno) articulados por los mecanismos de control y regulación del biopoder en los que se desarrollan resistencias que ejecutan prácticas éticas. Puntualmente, el libro estudia la dimensión ética de los siguientes tres casos de resistencia: el movimiento fourierista y anarquista del siglo xix, que se enfrentó a los mecanismos de normalización del dispositivo carcelario; el movimiento gay de las décadas de los setenta y los ochenta, que luchó en contra del dispositivo de sexualidad; y la deserción del Ejército de los Estados Unidos durante las guerras de Afganistán e Irak, en la que existe un combate frente a diversos mecanismos de gobierno.

This book reports on cutting-edge research and best practices in the broad fiel of biomedical engineering. Based on the XLVI Mexican Congress on Biomedical Engineering, CNIB 2023, held on November 2-4, 2023 in Villahermosa Tabasco, Mexico, this first volume of the proceedings covers research topics in biomedical signals and image processing, artificial intelligence, biosensors, and wearable systems, with applications ranging from disease classification and diagnosis, to health monitoring and medical therapy. All in all, this book provides a timely snapshot on state-of-the-art achievements in biomedical engineering and current challenges in the field. It addresses both researchers and professionals, and it is expect to foster future collaborations between the two groups, as well as international collaborations. .
The growth of institutional capacity in the developing world has become a central theme in twenty-first-century social science. Many studies have shown that public institutions are an important determinant of long-run rates of economic growth. This book argues that to understand the difficulties and pitfalls of state building in the contemporary world, it is necessary to analyze previous efforts to create institutional capacity in conflictive contexts. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the process of state and nation building in Latin America and Spain from independence to the 1930s. The book examines how Latin American countries and Spain tried to build modern and efficient state institutions for more than a century - without much success. The Spanish and Latin American experience of the nineteenth century was arguably the first regional stage on which the organizational and political dilemmas that still haunt states were faced. This book provides an unprecedented perspective on the development and contemporary outcome of those state and nation-building projects.
The first work in English to discuss the social and political history of lawyers in a Latin American country, Honorable Lives presents a portrait of lawyers in late colonial and early modern Colombia. Uribe-Uran focuses on the social origins, education, and careers of those qualified to practice law before the highest colonial courts—Audiencias—and the republican courts after the 1820s. In the course of his study, Uribe-Uran answers many questions about this elite group of professionals. What were the social origins and families of lawyers? Their relation to the state? Their participation in political movements and parties, revolutions, civil wars, and other political processes? Their id...
