Los nuevos escenarios por los que estamos transitando a nivel planetario demandan un papel más activo de la educación. Esto requiere robustecer la profesión docente «entre lo que es y lo que debería ser, entre lo que hemos hecho y lo que se podría hacer». Necesitamos saberes que revitalicen la educación como un proyecto integrador, poner en valor lo que otros han pensado y hecho para proyectarnos al futuro de otro modo y reinventar nuevas respuestas y acciones. A través de este libro se apuntan algunas claves con las que reformular tanto la formación inicial como permanente del profesorado para la construcción del oficio de «ser profesor como una forma de vivir y de hacer» en un mundo que siempre nos compromete, junto a otros, en el ecosistema del aula como un espacio abierto y compartido.

Popular Education is a concept with many meanings. With the rise of national systems of education at the beginning of the nineteenth-century, it was related to the socially inclusive concept of citizenship coined by privileged members with vested interests in the urban society that could only be achieved by educating the common people, or in other words, the uncontrollable masses that had nothing to lose. In the twentieth-century, Popular Education became another word for initiatives taken by religious and socialist groups for educating working-class adults, and women. However, in the course of the twentieth-century, the meaning of the term shifted towards empowerment and the education of th...
Antonio López García’s Everyday Urban Worlds: A Philosophy of Painting is the first book to give the famed Spanish artist the critical attention he deserves. Born in Tomelloso in 1936 and still living in the Spanish capital today, Antonio López has long cultivated a reputation for impressive urban scenes—but it is urban time that is his real subject. Going far beyond mere artist biography, Benjamin Fraser explores the relevance of multiple disciplines to an understanding of the painter’s large-scale canvasses. Weaving selected images together with their urban referents—and without ever straying too far from discussion of the painter’s oeuvre, method and reception by critics—Fr...
¡Vino! explores the history and identity of Spanish wine production from the mid-nineteenth century to today. Nineteenth-century infestations of oidium fungus and phylloxera aphids devastated French and Italian vineyards but didn't extend to the Iberian Peninsula at first, giving Spanish vintners the opportunity to increase their international sales. Once French and Italian wineries rebounded, however, Spanish wine producers had to up their game. Spain could not produce only table wine; it needed a quality product to compete with the supposedly superior French wines. After the Spanish Civil War the totalitarian Franco regime turned its attention to Spain's devastated agricultural sector, bu...
La impressió estètica que desperta el mar en l’artista resulta incomparable. Però el mar també suscita una atracció instrumental i calculada que té per objecte trobar beneficis per a la vida quotidiana. Des d’antic, els pescadors, comerciants i guerrers dels pobles costaners l’han vist com un espai per descobrir, dominar i utilitzar, i més tard, els metges i els educadors també s’hi han fixat. Aquest llibre presenta un conjunt d’estudis, organitzats en quatre eixos, que tracten l’interès pedagògic pel mar des d’una perspectiva històrica. En el primer eix se situen les pràctiques a l’entorn del mar en els contextos culturals en què van sorgir. En el segon s’anal...
Conocer la práctica o prácticas educativas en el pasado, desarrolladas tanto dentro de la institución escolar como fuera de ella, requiere de la existencia, conservación y uso de nuevas fuentes que sean registros tangibles de esta práctica, como pueden ser los espacios y elementos materiales utilizados (espacios, mobiliario, objetos, instrumentos o materiales didácticos, libros escolares, etc.), o que informen directamente de esta práctica (memorias profesionales de los docentes, exámenes, informes o memorias de actividades, memorias de prácticas, memorias de oposición, testimonios personales, cuadernos escolares o apuntes de clase, trabajos de alumnos, fotografías y/o álbumes, a...
