Dreams and Nightmares
At fourteen, Liliana Velásquez walked out of her village in Guatemala and headed for the U.S. border, alone. On her two-thousand-mile voyage she was robbed by narcos, rode the boxcars of La Bestia, and encountered death in the Sonoran Desert.
Género y deporte: el régimen jurídico de la mujer deportista
La lucha constante contra la discriminación de género, y por alcanzar una igualdad real y efectiva entre mujeres y hombres en las diferentes esferas de la sociedad, se concibe como una de las principales y más urgentes demandas sociales de nuestro tiempo. Sin embargo, perviven sectores de actividad, como es el caso del deporte, en los que el hecho de materializar tal objetivo se ve limitado, sobre todo, por el mantenimiento de unas estructuras y de una filosofía más propia de épocas ya superadas, en las que aquellos escenarios discriminatorios, principalmente hacia las mujeres, parecían encontrar una justificación de tipo social y/o cultural. En consecuencia, y aun en el contexto de ...
Cuestiones jurídico-deportivas
Las facetas del deporte son innumerables y, por ello, también las diversas cuestiones jurídicas que pueden ser objeto de estudio. En esta obra se ofrecen las reflexiones sobre cinco de esas cuestiones: la problemática de los concursos de acreedores de las entidades deportivas y en especial de las sociedades anónimas deportivas; las normas de buen gobierno de las entidades deportivas; el ejercicio de la potestad disciplinaria sobre los menores de edad; los fondos de inversión, o si se prefiere, los controvertidos TPO; y la financiación de las federaciones deportivas estatales. Los autores, Raúl Acosta Armas, Cristina de Pablo Nuevo, Montserrat Díaz Marí, José F. Izquierdo Bestard y ...
Temas de actualidad en Derecho del deporte y en gestión de entidades deportivas
Las comunicaciones, todas ellas revisadas para su publicación, abordan cuestiones trascendentes y, a veces, complejas, como, entre otras, la evolución del nuevo marco normativo antidopaje, el conflicto de intereses en el deporte, la protección del menor en los eSports, la violencia verbal en el deporte, la prestación de servicios de los deportistas profesionales para las selecciones nacionales, la participación de personas trans en la actividad deportiva, la seguridad en las instalaciones y equipamientos deportivos o la creación de nuevas competiciones, todas ellas adaptadas, en su caso, a la nueva Ley 39/2022, de 30 de diciembre, del Deporte, que incluso es objeto de un interesante y sugerente análisis «desde una perspectiva socialmente responsable». Materias todas de sustancial interés para cuantos, profesionales o estudiosos, necesitan estar al día en Derecho del deporte y conocer su incidencia en el ámbito de la gestión de las entidades deportivas.
Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning
This is the first textbook on pattern recognition to present the Bayesian viewpoint. The book presents approximate inference algorithms that permit fast approximate answers in situations where exact answers are not feasible. It uses graphical models to describe probability distributions when no other books apply graphical models to machine learning. No previous knowledge of pattern recognition or machine learning concepts is assumed. Familiarity with multivariate calculus and basic linear algebra is required, and some experience in the use of probabilities would be helpful though not essential as the book includes a self-contained introduction to basic probability theory.
Cuba
In Cuba, internationally renowned artists, philosophers, and writers reflect on the idea of a nation displaced. Featuring contributions from Isabel Alvarez Borland, Antonio Benítez-Rojo, María Cristina García, William Navarrete, Eliana Rivero, Rafael Rojas, and Carlos Victoria, as well as many others, Cuba is a rich collection of essays, testimonials, and interviews that reveal the complex, often antagonistic cultural and political debates coexisting within the Cuban exile population. As a multivoiced text, Cuba formulates a deeper understanding of diasporic identity, and broadens the discussion of the manner in which Cuban cultural identity and nationhood have been constructed, negotiated, and transformed by physical and cultural displacement.
Open Veins of Latin America
Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx. Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. These are...
Decolonizing Science in Latin American Art
Projects that bring the ‘hard’ sciences into art are increasingly being exhibited in galleries and museums across the world. In a surge of publications on the subject, few focus on regions beyond Europe and the Anglophone world. Decolonizing Science in Latin American Art assembles a new corpus of art-science projects by Latin American artists, ranging from big-budget collaborations with NASA and MIT to homegrown experiments in artists’ kitchens. While they draw on recent scientific research, these art projects also ‘decolonize’ science. If increasing knowledge of the natural world has often gone hand-in-hand with our objectification and exploitation of it, the artists studied here ...
Monuments, Empires, and Resistance
From AD 1550 to 1850, the Araucanian polity in southern Chile was a center of political resistance to the intruding Spanish empire. In this book, Tom D. Dillehay examines the resistance strategies of the Araucanians and how they used mound building and other sacred monuments to reorganize their political and culture life in order to unite against the Spanish. Drawing on anthropological research conducted over three decades, Dillehay focuses on the development of leadership, shamanism, ritual, and power relations. His study combines developments in social theory with the archaeological, ethnographic, and historical records. Both theoretically and empirically informed, this book is a fascinating account of the only indigenous ethnic group to successfully resist outsiders for more than three centuries and to flourish under these conditions.
