Diversidad familiar. Una perspectiva antropológica
La familia es una institución universal que existe y ha existido en todas las sociedades conocidas, y cumple una función primordial en la reproducción social. Históricamente han coexistido diversos tipos de organización familiar, aunque en Occidente, la familia nuclear heterocentrada se ha erigido como la más funcional para los sistemas de producción económica, hasta el punto de ser considerada «natural». En la actualidad, los cambios sociales, culturales, económicos, políticos, tecnológicos, así como las demandas de la ciudadanía, han hecho tambalear las bases sobre las que se asienta la naturalidad de la familia nuclear heterosexual, cuestionando las formas alternativas de convivencia y los ordenamientos jurídicos nacionales e internacionales.
La exclusión social
Perspectiva teórica y práctica para saber responder a las necesidades que plantean los diversos colectivos que se agrupan en el concepto actual de exclusión social.
Global Domestic Workers
EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Drawing from the EU-funded DomEQUAL research project across 9 countries in Europe, South America and Asia, this comparative study explores the conditions of domestic workers around the world and the campaigns they are conducting to improve their labour rights. The book showcases how domestic workers’ movements put ‘intersectionality in action’ in representing the interest of various marginalized social groups from migrants and low-income groups to racialized and rural girls and women. Casting light on issues such as subjectification, and collective organizing on the part of a category of workers conventionally regarded as unorganizable, this ambitious volume will be invaluable for scholars, policy makers and activists alike.

Three Lectures on Post-industrial Society
Employees are left exposed, and shareholders act to protect themselves, Never has the awareness that we all live in the same world been so strong-and never have the social conditions of existence been so unequal."
Biological Relatives
Thirty-five years after its initial success as a form of technologically assisted human reproduction, and five million miracle babies later, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has become a routine procedure worldwide. In Biological Relatives, Sarah Franklin explores how the normalization of IVF has changed how both technology and biology are understood. Drawing on anthropology, feminist theory, and science studies, Franklin charts the evolution of IVF from an experimental research technique into a global technological platform used for a wide variety of applications, including genetic diagnosis, livestock breeding, cloning, and stem cell research. She contends that despite its ubiquity, IVF remains a highly paradoxical technology that confirms the relative and contingent nature of biology while creating new biological relatives. Using IVF as a lens, Franklin presents a bold and lucid thesis linking technologies of gender and sex to reproductive biomedicine, contemporary bioinnovation, and the future of kinship.
Decolonizing European Sociology
Decolonizing European Sociology builds on the work challenging the androcentric, colonial and ethnocentric perspectives eminent in mainstream European sociology by identifying and describing the processes at work in its current critical transformation. Divided into sections organized around themes like modernity, border epistemology, migration and 'the South', this book considers the self-definition and basic concepts of social sciences through an assessment of the new theoretical developments, such as postcolonial theory and subaltern studies, and whether they can be described as the decolonization of the discipline. With contributions from a truly international team of leading social scientists, this volume constitutes a unique and tightly focused exploration of the challenges presented by the decolonization of the discipline of sociology.
