Desarrollo
Latinoamérica se ha constituido desde hace más de un siglo en el laboratorio para la aplicación de recetas hegemónicas para avanzar hacia el desarrollo; también ha sido el escenario en el que se han debatido y resignificado las distintas concepciones que sobre este se han puesto en marcha en la región. En este contexto han sido claves las propuestas que han surgido, desde diferentes instancias: sociedad civil organizada, academia, Estado, minorías, entre otros para repensar el concepto y construir alternativas a la visión hegemónica que sobre este se instala en América Latina. Estos procesos evidencian el tránsito permanente de una noción singular y unívoca del desarrollo que descansa fundamentalmente en garantizar el crecimiento económico a una noción plural (los desarrollos) cuyo eje reside en el ejercicio de derechos y el bienestar; o en planteamientos que pretenden ir más allá, los que por naturaleza, no son únicos sino siempre plurales, en los que prevalecen lógicas distintas a la capitalista y saberes des-centrados para construir de manera distinta la realidad.
Cultura territorial e innovación social
Este libro tiene como objetivo contribuir al estudio sobre los efectos socio-espaciales de la crisis y, en particular, a los estudios relativos a un «urbanismo de la austeridad» y a un urbanismo desterritorializado en las grandes ciudades españolas, teniendo en perspectiva otros espacios urbanos de países del norte del Mediterráneo. Pretende abordar estudios comparados de distintas dinámicas regionales y urbanas al tiempo que proponer escenarios de futuro y, desde esta perspectiva, el objetivo central es considerar la transformación de las espacialidades metropolitanas a la luz de una reflexión sobre las nuevas relaciones de poder y las recomposiciones que originan en materia de política pública y sus efectos sobre la cohesión y justicia territoriales.
Social Innovation and Territorial Development
The concept of social innovation offers an alternative perspective on development and territorial transformation, one which foregrounds innovation in social relations. This volume presents a broad-ranging and insightful exploration of social innovation and how it can affect life, society and economy, especially within local communities. It addresses key questions about the nature of social innovation as a process and a strategy and explores what opportunities may exist, or may be generated, for social innovation to nourish human development. It puts forward alternative development options which variously highlight solidarity, co-operation, cultural-artistic endeavour and diversity. In doing so, this book offers a provocative response to the predominant neoliberal economic vision of spatial, economic and social change.
The Spanish Constitutional System
After the authoritarian regime of General Franco, the Constitution of 1978 established a new constitutional system in Spain which stands as a concrete political reality and as a compendium of European constitutional history of the end of the twentieth century. After a brief historical introduction, the text deals critically, and with some comparative aspects, with the value system on which the Constitution is founded (the Social and Democratic State of Law), the relative sources of law, fundamental rights and their guarantees, the regulation of the constitutional organization of the State (Parliament, Government, Crown, Judiciary power and Constitutional Court) and the forms of territorial distribution of power, the problems raised by relations between the State and the Autonomous Communities, particularly with regard to their financing.
La Lucha
A front-line human rights defender fighting murderous impunity in the Mexican borderlands The Mexican border state of Chihuahua and its city Juárez have become notorious the world over as hotbeds of violence. Drug cartel battles and official corruption result in more murders annually in Chihuahua than in wartorn Afghanistan. Thanks to a culture of impunity, 97 percent of the killings in Juárez go unsolved. Despite a climate of fear, a small group of human rights activists, exemplified by the Chihuahua lawyer and organizer Lucha Castro, works to identify the killers and their official enablers. This is the story of La Lucha, illustrated in beautiful and chilling comic book art, rendering in rich detail the stories of families ripped apart by disappearances and murders—especially gender-based violence—and the remarkably brave advocacy, protests, and investigations of ordinary citizens who turned their grief into resistance.
A Dream of Passion
“The definitive source book on acting.”—Los Angeles Times Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Hopper, Robert DeNiro, Marilyn Monroe, and Joanne Woodward—these are only a few of the many actors training in “Method” acting by the great and legendary Lee Strasberg. This revolutionary theory of acting—developed by Stanislavski and continued by Strasberg—has been a major influence on the art of acting in our time. During his last decade, Strasberg devoted himself to a work that would explain once and for all what The Method was and how it worked, as well as telling the story of its development and of the people involved with it. The result is a masterpiece of wisdom and guidance for anyone involved with the theater in any way. “A must for young actors—for old ones, too, for that matter.”—Paul Newman “An exploration of the creative process that will reward all who are interested in the nature of inspiration.”—Library Journal “An important cultural document.”—Booklist
Sleep, Little Girl
Juan, a freelance reporter, stumbles on a scoop at the local hospital: people are dying in their sleep. Healthy married couples in the prime of life are being discovered dead in their own beds. The connection seems to be the Little Girl, an autistic child. Each time she’s been adopted by a set of foster parents, these turn up dead in their beds the next morning, with no visible cause of death. Digging deeper, Juan discovers that the Little Girl’s biological parents met an even more horrible fate... Haunting and frightening, “Sleep, Little Girl” reminds us that there are forces in the universe that should not be tempted. Sergio Bleda, author and artist of this SAF graphic novel, first gained attention for his horror comics series “The Vampire’s Dance.”
