Mujeres y Violencia en Colombia
Este libro trata de identificar y analizar la situación de las víctimas en Colombia, en especial de las mujeres, a raíz de la aprobación de la Ley 1448 de 2011, que promueve medidas de atención, asistencia y reparación integral, y es considerada un ejemplo de justicia restaurativa. El conflicto armado ha producido millones de víctimas, fruto de una violación reiterada de los derechos humanos y las infracciones en el derecho internacional humanitario por parte de los distintos actores armados. La población civil ha sufrido sus consecuencias de manera devastadora, teniendo que dejar atrás los lugares de origen, cuando se trata de un desplazamiento forzado, pero también ha soportado ...
Sentir con otros
"El presente libro ofrece a la discusión académica un valioso aporte al debate sobre las emociones desde la perspectiva latinoamericana. En sus páginas el lector hallará un detallado análisis sobre la influencia del pathos en la vida social, al mismo tiempo que puede encontrar una interesante reflexión histórica y filosófica de los ires y venires de las emociones en la tradición occidental. Adicionalmente, sentir con otros también permite a la reflexión política romper con el mito cientificista y racionalista que instauró la modernidad, toda vez que expone e involucra al pathos en las dinámicas cotidianas de la vida del hombre como ser social en relación con los otros, lo que permite reconfigurar el quehacer político para tornarlo en algo más humano y tangible".
¿Qué clínica de lo psíquico es posible en un contexto institucional educativo?
La convocatoria que se me hace para re-pensar la clínica en el contexto institucional educativo me lleva a construir varias preguntas que serán el contexto de la ponencia que presento; las siguientes: ¿Qué clínica? ¿Qué educación? ¿Qué institución? ¿Qué estudiante? ¿Qué paciente? Las cinco preguntas apuntan a complejizar un poco la perspectiva desde la que fui invitado, que giraba en torno a la definición de clínica y educación. Complejizan el asunto porque pluralizan los elementos implicados allí. La clínica no existe. La educación no existe. La institución no existe. El estudiante no existe. El paciente no existe. Existen diversos modos de hacer clínica, diversos modos de educar, diversas instituciones y, finalmente, diversos estudiantes y diversos pacientes. Por lo tanto una relación entre clínica y educación, así en abstracto, se vuelve imposible.
The Semiotics of Discourse
Original Scholarly Monograph
Preparing Teachers to Teach English as an International Language
This book explores ways to prepare teachers to teach English as an International Language (EIL) and provides theoretically-grounded models for EIL-informed teacher education. The volume includes two chapters that present a theoretical approach and principles in EIL teacher education, followed by a collection of descriptions of field-tested teacher education programs, courses, units in a course, and activities from diverse geographical and institutional contexts, which together demonstrate a variety of possible approaches to preparing teachers to teach EIL. The book helps create a space for the exploration of EIL teacher education that cuts across English as a Lingua Franca, World Englishes and other relevant scholarly communities.
Édouard Glissant, Philosopher
One of the greatest writers of the late twentieth century, Édouard Glissant's body of work covers multiple genres and addresses many cogent contemporary problems, such as borders, multiculturalism, postcolonial and decolonial studies, and global humanities. Édouard Glissant, Philosopher is the first study that maps out this writer's entire work in relation to philosophy. Glissant is reputed to be a "difficult writer;" however, Alexandre Leupin demonstrates the clarity and coherence of his thinking. Glissant's rereading of Western philosophy entirely remaps its age-old questions and offers answers that have never been proposed. In doing so, Glissant offers a new way to think about questions that are at the forefront of Global Humanities today: identity, race, communities, diasporas, slavery, nation-states and nationalism, aesthetics, ethics, and the place and function of poetry and art in a globalized world. This book will elucidate Glissant's theoretical writings, not only in England and in America but also in the anglophone Caribbean, Africa, and India.
Reconceptualizing The Peasantry
The concept of ?peasant? has been constructed from residual images of pre-industrial European and colonial rural society. Spurred by Romantic sensibilities and modern nationalist imaginations, the images the word peasant brings to mind are anachronisms that do not reflect the ways in which rural people live today. In this path-breaking book, Michael Kearney shows how the concept has been outdistanced by contemporary history. He situates the peasantry within the current social context of the transnational and post?Cold War nation-state and clears the way for alternative theoretical views.Reconceptualizing the Peasantry looks at rural society in general and considers the problematic distinctio...
Contested Cities and Urban Activism
This edited volume advances our understanding of urban activism beyond the social movement theorization dominated by thesis of political opportunity structure and resource mobilization, as well as by research based on experience from the global north. Covering a diversity of urban actions from a broad range of countries in both hemispheres as well as the global north and global south, this unique collection notably focuses on non-institutionalised or localised urban actions that have the potential to bring about radical structural transformation of the urban system and also addresses actions in authoritarian regimes that are too sensitive to call themselves “movement”. It addresses local...
The Culture of Pain
This is a book about the meanings we make out of pain. The greatest surprise I encountered in discussing this topic over the past ten years was the consistency with which I was asked a single unvarying question: Are you writing about physical pain or mental pain? The overwhelming consistency of this response convinces me that modern culture rests upon and underlying belief so strong that it grips us with the force of a founding myth. Call it the Myth of Two Pains. We live in an era when many people believe--as a basic, unexamined foundation of thought--that pain comes divided into separate types: physical and mental. These two types of pain, so the myth goes, are as different as land and sea. You feel physical pain if your arm breaks, and you feel mental pain if your heart breaks. Between these two different events we seem to imagine a gulf so wide and deep that it might as well be filled by a sea that is impossible to navigate.
The Three Ages of the Interior Life
A masterpiece of possibly the 20th Century s greatest theologian.
