Novos desafios em todas as dimensões da sociedade permearam a sociedade no ano de 2020 e ainda se fazem presentes neste início de 2021, foi necessário re-pensar novas maneiras de aprender e mediar o conhecimento. Sendo assim, essa obra tem como objetivo analisar as possibilidades e os desafios da escola e das propostas curriculares frente às tecnologias digitais didático-pedagógicas utilizadas no contexto educacional.
Historicamente, consolida-se, na Amazônia, um modelo de desenvolvimento pautado na modernização paradoxal e forçada com o intuito de atrair para a região os agentes e conglomerados econômicos. Atualmente a instalação de empreendimentos Hidrelétricos, os quais caracterizaram reivindicações e conflitos, principalmente devido às implicações e os problemas gerados às populações locais e ao ambiente. Os empreendimentos hidrelétricos são entendidos como medida de favorecimento à expansão capitalista, acarretando implicações na formação sócio espacial, sobretudo, provocando a reorganização deste território, com consequências irreversíveis às áreas de influência des...
O livro intitulado Hidrelétricas na Amazônia: Interpretações geográficas sobre as usinas no Madeira e no Xingu, longe de esgotar as possibilidades de diálogo, traz duas importantes ações do ponto de vista do desenvolvimento científico regional. A primeira delas trata de algumas abordagens que geralmente não são mencionadas ou são desconsideradas nos estudos de impactos ambientais. A segunda é que as abordagens são feitas por professores pesquisadores, residentes na área proposta de estudo, o que significa que são interpretações de amazonidas, falando sobre a Amazônia para o mundo. A implantação de uma hidrelétrica, para alguns, em especial em uma escala de análise geog...
Time-geography is a mode of thinking that helps in the understanding of change in society, the wider context and ecological consequences of human actions. This book presents its assumptions, concepts and methods, and example applications. The intellectual path of the Swedish geographer Torsten Hägerstrand is a key foundation for this book. His research contributions are shown in the context of the urbanization of Sweden, involvement in the emerging planning sector and empirical studies on Swedish emigration. Migration and innovation diffusion studies paved the way for prioritizing time and space dimensions and recognizing time and space as unity. From these insights time-geography grew. Thi...
From reviews of the first edition: "This is perhaps the best theoretically oriented book by a United States urban sociologist since the work of Firey, Hawley, and Sjoberg in the 1940s and 1950s.... Gottdiener is on the cutting edge of urban theoretical work today." —Joe R. Feagin, Contemporary Sociology Since its first publication in 1985, The Social Production of Urban Space has become a landmark work in urban studies. In this second edition, M. Gottdiener assesses important new theoretical models of urban space—and their shortcomings—including the global perspective, the flexible accumulation school, postmodernism, the new international division of labor, and the "growth machine" perspective. Going beyond the limitations of these and older theories, Gottdiener proposes a model of urban growth that accounts for the deconcentration away from the central city that began in the United States in the 1920s and continues today. Sociologists, political scientists, economists, geographers, and urban planners will find his interdisciplinary approach to urban science invaluable, as it is currently the most comprehensive treatment of European and American work in these related fields.
This introduction to the development of new theoretical approaches to human geography sets out to explain the key features of these new approaches, and to trace their antecedents and implications. The authors also highlight points of comparison and contrast, inter-connection and dissimilarity. An introductory chapter describes and accounts for the theoretical diversity present within twentieth-century human geography, and particular attention is paid to the transition from environmental and regional approaches to the “spatial science” of the 1960s. This chapter then sets the stage for the later chapters, which deal systematically with different post-1960s approaches: Marxism, humanism, r...
Through its exploration of the spatial dimension of risk, this book offers a brand new approach to theorizing risk, and significant improvements in how to manage, tolerate and take risks. A broad range of risks are examined, including natural hazards, climate change, political violence, and state failure. Case studies range from the Congo to Central Asia, from tsunami in Japan and civil war affected areas in Sri Lanka to avalanche hazards in Austria. In each of these cases, the authors examine the importance and role of space in the causes and differentiation of risk, in how we can conceptualize risk from a spatial perspective and in the relevance of space and locality for risk governance. This new approach - endorsed by Ragnar Löfstedt and Ortwin Renn, two of the world's leading and most prolific risk analysts - is essential reading for those charged with studying, anticipating and managing risks.
Immanuel Kant’s views on politics, peace, and history have lost none of their relevance since their publication more than two centuries ago. This volume contains a comprehensive collection of Kant’s writings on international relations theory and political philosophy, superbly translated and accompanied by stimulating essays. Pauline Kleingeld provides a lucid introduction to the main themes of the volume, and three essays by distinguished contributors follow: Jeremy Waldron on Kant’s theory of the state; Michael W. Doyle on the implications of Kant’s political theory for his theory of international relations; and Allen W. Wood on Kant’s philosophical approach to history and its current relevance.
