Claiming and Contesting Representation in Mexico
Through innovative conceptual work and original case studies, the book explores important trends in Mexican politics and governance through the lens of representation, including who speaks and stands for whom, on what grounds and in what domains and the challenges they face.
La formación de conceptos en ciencias y humanidades
Concepto es término latino y está asociado al hecho de engendrar ideas: el ser humano es capaz de formar conceptos. de concebir o crear ideas. Así, el verbo que subyace en el sustantivo concepto es capio, is, que en español dió "capturar". Al formar conceptos, el hombre engendra, captura o concibre ideas: señala límites, marca fronteras y separa un objeto conceptual de otro. Así ha sucedido desde Grecia hasta hoy.
The Protection of Maize Under the Mexican Biosafety Law
This book analyses the importance of maize worldwide and the special importance for Mexico as a centre of origin and diversity (COD). By adopting a comparative approach, the analysis focuses on how developed and developing countries handle imports of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO & rsquo;s). It also analyses the impact that GM maize imports from the USA may have in Mexico as COD of maize. This book illustrates the process of economic liberalization in Mexico from the 1980 & rsquo;s until the inception of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994. It provides a descriptive and analytical insight into the Mexican legal framework of biotechnology and biosafety. Finally, it outlines the problems of complying with both environmental, and trade commitments.
Migration, Reproduction and Society
In Migration, Reproduction and Society, Alejandro I. Canales offers a theoretical model for understanding the dilemmas presented by migration in the transformation of contemporary society. Aging and changing demographics in advanced societies make economic and social reproduction dependent upon the contributions made by immigration. However, these same demographic processes are conducive to ethnic transformations. The political dilemma facing advanced societies is that immigration is required to ensure their reproduction, but this entails becoming multicultural societies where the political hegemony of ethnic and demographic majorities becomes radically subverted. This paves the way to a per...
Visible Ruins
An examination of the failures of the Mexican Revolution through the visual and material records. The Mexican Revolution (1910–1920) introduced a series of state-led initiatives promising modernity, progress, national grandeur, and stability; state surveyors assessed land for agrarian reform, engineers used nationalized oil for industrialization, archaeologists reconstructed pre-Hispanic monuments for tourism, and anthropologists studied and photographed Indigenous populations to achieve their acculturation. Far from accomplishing their stated goals, however, these initiatives concealed violence, and permitted land invasions, forced displacement, environmental damage, loss of democratic freedom, and mass killings. Mónica M. Salas Landa uses the history of northern Veracruz to demonstrate how these state-led efforts reshaped the region's social and material landscapes, affecting what was and is visible. Relying on archival sources and ethnography, she uncovers a visual order of ongoing significance that was established through postrevolutionary projects and that perpetuates inequality based on imperceptibility.
Hermenéutica, analogía y ciencias humanas
Mediante un veloz recorrido por los saberes acumulados durante siglos y relacionados con las ciencias humanas, el autor llega a una versión más acabada de la hermenéutica analógica, abordada por él en publicaciones anteriores; presenta un instrumento interpretativo basado en la analogía o proporción y en la phrónesis o prudencia, conceptos que se originaron en la antigüedad griega y que se han ido enriqueciendo en el milenario transcurso del pensamiento filosófico. El autor hace además una propuesta para avanzar en la interdisciplinariedad, pues la hermenéutica lleva a la interdisciplina, a fin de que las ciencias puedan trabajar en colaboración y que el resultado sea la consonancia, sin perder la individualidad.
Gobernanza de la educación media superior: propuestas de intervención educativa
El libro trata de comprender la educación como problema colectivo con la mirada propositiva de la gobernanza participativa y la dirección estratégica como ejes de estructuración pedagógica y adopción de decisiones colegiadas de las estructuras del sistema escolar de los planteles educativos con ángulos de posibles formas estratégicas de intervención en la educación media superior: estructura fundamental de articulación del desarrollo educativo en la construcción del proyecto de país. Con esta perspectiva de análisis en consonancia con las dimensiones de la gobernanza educativa, es fundamental como propuesta de cambio, que permita pensar en acciones que potencien las habilidades...
