Tres relatos
Este tercer volumen de la colección Animal de letras tiene como protagonistas a tres textos de la autora inglesa Virginia Woolf: La marca en la pared, Lunes o martes, y La señora Dalloway en la calle Bond, los cuales fueron traducidos por estudiantes del semillero Animal de letras, del programa de Estudios Literarios y Edición de la Universidad de Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano.
Bodies in Resistance
As part of the emerging new research on civic innovation, this book explores how sexual politics and gender relations play out in feminist struggles around body politics in Brazil, Colombia, India, Iran, Mexico, Nepal, Turkey, Nicaragua, as well as in East Africa, Latin America and global institutions and networks. From diverse disciplinary perspectives, the book looks at how feminists are engaged in a complex struggle for democratic power in a neoliberal age and at how resistance is integral to possibilities for change. In making visible resistances to dominant economic and social policies, the book highlights how such struggles are both gendered and gendering bodies. The chapters explore struggles for healthy environments, sexual health and reproductive rights, access to abortion, an end to gender-based violence, the human rights of LGBTIQA persons, the recognition of indigenous territories and all peoples’ rights to care, love and work freely. The book sets out the violence, hopes, contradictions and ways forward in these civic innovations, resistances and connections across the globe.
Perovskite Materials
The book summarizes the current state of the know-how in the field of perovskite materials: synthesis, characterization, properties, and applications. Most chapters include a review on the actual knowledge and cutting-edge research results. Thus, this book is an essential source of reference for scientists with research fields in energy, physics, chemistry and materials. It is also a suitable reading material for graduate students.
Oxidative Stress and Inflammation as Targets for Novel Preventive and Therapeutic Approches in Non Communicable Diseases
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are chronic diseases that include most ageing-related diseases, representing the main cause of death and disability in the general population. Inflammation and oxidative stress are common features in NCDs, responsible for the cell, tissue, and organ damage that contributes to the progression of these diseases. They may be also key targets for the development of novel preventive and therapeutic strategies. This Special Issue includes 14 peer-reviewed papers, including 12 original research papers and 2 reviews. Together, they represent the most recent progress in the field of several degenerative disorders, aiming to establish specific biomarkers, detailing the pathogenesis and the evolution of these diseases, making a correct diagnosis, and opening up new therapeutic strategies. Of relevance, many studies report the beneficial effects of natural compounds, derived from several plants, leaves, and fruits; their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties suggest their use as a dietary supplement for prevention and/or complement to standard therapies.
Advances in Natural Fibre Composites
This book presents selected high-quality research papers submitted to ICNF 2017, the 3rd International Conference on Natural Fibers, which was held in Braga, Portugal, on 21–23 June 2017. It discusses the latest research and developments in the field and covers a wide range of topics related to various aspects of natural-fiber composites, such as production and processing of raw materials, surface modification and functionalization, advanced fibrous structures for composites, nano fibers, experimental characterization, modeling and analysis, design and product development, applications, market potential, and environmental impacts. The book presents the latest research work addressing different approaches and techniques to improve processing, performance, functionalities and cost-effectiveness of natural-fibers composites, in order to increase their applications in different industrial sectors such as automobiles, transportation, construction, and sport. & nbsp;
Los diseños Itane
Los itane son los diseños tradicionales de los sikuani, comunidad indígena localizada en los llanos de Meta y Vichada. Más allá de su valor estético y de la avanzada técnica en su aplicación, los itane son un mecanismo de memoria y pensamiento esencial para la subsistencia cultural y la transmisión de historia y sabiduría de los sikuani.
Mucho camello, poco empleo : por qué el trabajo de las mujeres en Colombia es escaso, desvalorado y mal remunerado
Abogadas, economistas, sociólogas y antropólogas analizan, en esta obra, el acceso de las mujeres al empleo, los castigos laborales frente a la maternidad, las diferencias salariales y la feminización de los trabajos. Mucho camello, poco empleo reúne diez investigaciones que estudian las condiciones laborales de la mujer-madre, la campesina, la ejecutiva, la cuidadora de la salud, la trabajadora del servicio doméstico, la que sobrevive a su pareja. Las conclu¬siones de estos textos son provocadoras, otras controversiales, e incluso algu¬nas podrían ser consideradas conservadoras. Al ser escritos por personas que provienen de distintas disciplinas y que asumen la comprensión de los fenóme¬nos desde distintos marcos teóricos y metodológicos, lo lógico es que se generen desacuerdos y tensiones entre ellos. Precisamente eso es lo que busca este libro. El objetivo es estimular el diálogo de tal forma que sea imposible pensar en agendas de investigación o políticas públicas que ignoren la variedad de enfoques necesarios para entender una realidad tan compleja como el trabajo de las mujeres.
La ilusión de la justicia transicional
Este texto se enfrenta a un reto: el de historizar los mecanismos asociados a las transiciones, en tanto práctica intelectual y política, y situar la discusión en otros términos de referencia, realizando otras preguntas e instaurando otros lenguajes para hablar de este momento histórico en diversas sociedades. Estos otros términos son los que aquí se proponen de manera general: leer el escenario transicional como un momento liminal en el que emerge la promesa de una nueva sociedad mediante los mecanismos que usa y las múltiples formas que toma la imaginación social del porvenir. La lectura de estos escenarios plantea un cambio en la escala de percepción, una inflexión, un retorno ...
