Premios Miguel Hernández 2018
Los premios Miguel Hernández tienen como objetivo reconocer las iniciativas que llevan a cabo en España diversas instituciones encaminadas a promover e impulsar el aprendizaje de todas las personas adultas, especialmente las que se llevan a cabo con colectivos socialmente desfavorecidos. La predisposición al aprendizaje ha de ser una actitud permanente, pues de otro modo el conocimiento puede quedar obsoleto en poco tiempo. Por ello todas las personas deberían tener la posibilidad de acceder de forma constante, a lo largo de sus vidas, a servicios de formación de diversa índole con el fin de actualizar sus competencias. Esta publicación recoge las experiencias premiadas en la edición de 2018 y pretende hacer un reconocimiento a las iniciativas emprendidas y animar a que estos ejemplos se extiendan.
Votes, Drugs, and Violence
When widespread state-criminal collusion persists in transitions from autocracy to democracy, electoral competition becomes a catalyst of large-scale criminal violence.
Cybernetic Revolutionaries
A historical study of Chile's twin experiments with cybernetics and socialism, and what they tell us about the relationship of technology and politics. In Cybernetic Revolutionaries, Eden Medina tells the history of two intersecting utopian visions, one political and one technological. The first was Chile's experiment with peaceful socialist change under Salvador Allende; the second was the simultaneous attempt to build a computer system that would manage Chile's economy.

Pandemic Exposures
For people and governments around the world, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to place the preservation of human life at odds with the pursuit of economic and social life. Yet this simple alternative belies the complexity of the entanglements the crisis has created and revealed, not just between health and wealth but also around morality, knowledge, governance, culture, and everyday subsistence. Didier Fassin and Marion Fourcade have assembled an eminent team of scholars from across the social sciences, conducting research on six continents, to reflect on the multiple ways the coronavirus has entered, reshaped, or exacerbated existing trends and structures in every part of the globe. The contributors show how the disruptions caused by the pandemic have both hastened the rise of new social divisions and hardened old inequalities and dilemmas. An indispensable volume, Pandemic Exposures provides an illuminating analysis of this watershed moment and its possible aftermath.
