Gender and Nation in the Spanish Modernist Novel
Offering a fresh, revisionist analysis of Spanish fiction from 1900 to 1940, this study examines the work of both men and women writers and how they practiced differing forms of modernism. As Roberta Johnson notes, Spanish male novelists emphasized technical and verbal innovation in representing the contents of an individual consciousness and thus were more modernist in the usual understanding of the term. Female writers, on the other hand, were less aesthetically innovative but engaged in a social modernism that focused on domestic issues, gender roles, and relations between the sexes. Compared to the more conventional--even reactionary--ways their male counterparts treated such matters, Sp...
Unaccomplished Utopia
"This is a stimulating and original collection of chapters produced by an impressive group of international scholars. It provides a vital critical perspective that will strengthen our understanding of what the very important Bologna project means for Universities in Europe and beyond" — Roger Dale, University of Bristol, UK
Itinerant Curriculum Theory
This book advances new ways of thinking about emergence and impact of Itinerant Curriculum Theory (ICT). Written by authors based in Algeria, Brazil, Chile, China, Estonia, South Korea, Spain and the USA, the chapters examine the opportunities and challenges paved by ICT in the struggle to open up and decolonize curriculum policies. The contributors show how ICT can help us to pave a new way to think about and to do curriculum theory and announce ICT as a declaration of epistemological liberation, one that helps to resist Eurocentric dominance. The chapters cover topics including, ecologies of the Global South, education discourse in South Korea, China's Curriculum Reform, and the history of colonialism in the Middle East. Building on the work of Antonia Darder, Boaventura de Sousa Santos and others, this book posits that the future of the field is the struggle against curriculum epistemicides and this is ultimately a struggle for social justice. The book includes a Foreword by the leading curriculum historian William Schubert, Professor Emeritus of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Illinois at Chicago, USA.
Freire's Key Terms
This book brings together clear and concise definitions of 33 key terms used by the great educational thinker, Paulo Freire. From 'critical consciousness' to 'concientization' and from 'oppressed' to the 'banking model of education' Freire's concepts and ways of understanding education are as relevant today as they ever were. The critical definitions attend to the theoretical and practical implications of each term allowing readers to appreciate the philosophical and emancipatory nature of Freire's work and learn how these ideas can be applied in educational, social, and political setting to drive social change. Each term is explained in relation to Freire's wider body of work, noting the nuances and meanings that developed through his career as pedagogue. The book shows the significance of Freire's legacy, and offers an opportunity to put into practice, rethink, and remake his proposal for a radical model of education.
Un viaje sin viajero: relato de extranjeras en Calcuta
Esta publicación, que relata la permanencia de tres estudiantes de diferentes nacionalidades en Calcuta -la colombiana, en una pasantía académica- revela prácticas sociales que le imprimen a la estudiante y, por ende al lector, elementos universales al enfrentarla a un choque cultural determinante en el desarrollo posterior de su vida. Además, devela y denuncia aspectos fraudulentos en organizaciones que ofrecen posibilidades educativas o de intervención social en diferentes partes del mundo y que, sin ser una organización "de papel", ejercen actividades sinuosas o marginales alejadas de lo que sus pintorescos catálogos anuncian.
Decolonizing Interpretive Research
To what extent do Western political and economic interests distort perceptions and affect the Western production of research about the other? The concept of 'colonializing epistemologies' describes how knowledges outside the Western purview are often not only rendered invisible but either absorbed or destroyed. Decolonizing Interpretive Research outlines a form of oppositional study that undertakes a critical analysis of bodies of knowledge in any field that engages with issues related to the lives and survival of those deemed as other. It focuses on creating intellectual spaces that will facilitate new readings of the world and lead toward change, both in theory and practice. The book begin...

Reconocimiento y bien común en Educación
Hoy más que nunca tenemos el compromiso y la responsabilidad de hacer efectiva una educación cuya dirección debe proyectarse hacia el logro de la inclusión, la equidad, la sororidad, la solidaridad, la igualdad de derechos, la justicia, en definitiva, hacia la consecución del bien común y en común. Pensar y reflexionar, desde una mirada crítica y repolitizadora, nos exige considerar, entre otros: El impacto que la sociedad del momento tiene en las instituciones educativas, en sus miembros, en sus actuaciones y en sus decisiones. Las determinaciones derivadas de las políticas educativas, hermanadas con el ideario neoliberal. Los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje que pasan a mirars...
