Ciudades (in)descifrables
Aventurarse en la tarea de comprender la complejidad creciente de la vida urbana requiere, necesariamente, nuevos abordajes transversales y disruptivos. El tratamiento de la ciudad desde los imaginarios y representaciones sociales de lo urbano constituye una postura teórica y metodológica, la cual permite identificar y descifrar las predisposiciones a la reproducción y las tendencias que anuncian formas de producción innovadoras de la ciudad y la vida urbana.
Imaginarios y representaciones sociales: Estado de la investigación en Iberoamérica
En este libro confluyen algunas de las búsquedas en filosofía, lenguaje y educación que persiguen los investigadores de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad Santo Tomás de Colombia. Por el camino de la filosofía, se hallarán acercamientos a la poesía en Platón, a la escritura en Benjamin y a la religión en Rosenzweig y Ricoeur. Por el del pensamiento latinoamericano, se hallarán estudios de historia de las ideas y políticas de la dialéctica entre poder y democracia. Por el del lenguaje, se estudiará la mística de Josefa del Castillo, a Santiago Gamboa y la pragmática discursiva del fútbol. Y por el pedagógico, se verán las rutas del aprendizaje autónomo en la universidad.
Soziale Teilhabe und Mobilität
In diesem Buch wird der Zusammenhang zwischen sozialer Teilhabe und Mobilität auf Basis theoretischer Grundlagen und Erfahrungen aus einem Reallabor in der Region Hannover dargestellt und mithilfe von quantitativer und qualitativer Empirie untersucht. Zudem werden neu entwickelte Planungsinstrumente, wie ein Index zur Quantifizierung von Mobilitätsoptionen sowie ein durch einen sozialen Baustein erweitertes Verkehrsnachfragemodell, vorgestellt. Mobilitätsbezogene Maßnahmen zur Steigerung sozialer Teilhabe werden auf Basis der Empirie entwickelt, im Reallabor erprobt sowie mithilfe eines hierfür konzipierten Bewertungssystems beurteilt.

Die Beitragenden des Bandes beleuchten aus Perspektive der Wissenschaft, sozialer Bewegungen und zivilgesellschaftlicher Initiativen aktuelle Konfliktfelder in der Global City Frankfurt am Main und diskutieren in anschaulichen Formaten, welche strukturellen Bedingungen, gesellschaftlichen Kräfteverhältnisse und machtvollen Akteure die Mainmetropole prägen. Sie analysieren, wie neoliberale und autoritäre Tendenzen soziale Ausschlüsse produzieren. Durch den Fokus auf die vielfältigen Kämpfe werden zugleich Wege für eine solidarische und demokratische Stadt für alle aufgezeigt.

Transport and Ethics
Prof. van Wee draws on extensive research and nearly three decades of professional experience to shine a welcome spotlight on a neglected yet critical area of transportation research and practice: the role of ethics in the ex ante evaluation of infrastructure projects and transportation policies. Aiming more to raise questions and provoke thought than to provide answers, his balanced and systematic treatment of the subject makes the book an invaluable resource one which should be on the shelves and (more importantly) in the minds of every transportation policymaker, planner, and modeler.

Education and other modes of thinking in Latin America
After long periods of military dictatorships, civil wars, and economic instability, Latin America has changed face, and become the foremost region for counter-hegemonic processes. This book seeks to address contemporary paradigms of education and learning in Latin America. Although the production of knowledge in the region has long been subject to imperial designs and disseminated through educational systems, recent interventions – from liberation theology, popular education, and critical literacy to postcolonial critique and decolonial options – have sought to shift the geography of reason. Over the last decades, several Latin American communities have countered this movement by forming...
