"Verónica Berenstein recaba, en este libro, su elaboración como psicoanalista haciendo frente a las paradojas de la condición contemporánea de la civilización en la que vivimos. Esta perspectiva aborda el nuevo orden simbólico y el real propio de la contemporaneidad, mostrando los puntos de discontinuidad con respecto al mundo en el que el psicoanálisis surgió y prosperó en la primera parte del siglo XX. De una civilización como la del capitalismo clásico, todavía dependiente de una cierta centralidad del ideal y de la ley –en particular la ley paterna y edípica– hemos pasado, en el capitalismo contemporáneo, a una centralidad del goce y de lo ilimitado: ascenso del objeto ...
"En este libro, Guillermo Adrián López ha sabido reunir, bajo el título La adolescencia en los tiempos que corren, u na excelente selección de textos que abordan el presente y el porvenir de la adolescencia. El resultado es una compilación inteligente, no solo por la calidad de los textos, sino por la orientación precisa que nos da en la clínica de la adolescencia en la civilización actual. Este libro tiene la virtud de saber reunir las características centrales de la adolescencia. La adolescencia no es una enfermedad, sino algo con lo que hay que saber hacer. Su carácter temporal es inseparable de las carencias y padecimientos que hay que poder soportar. La adolescencia es una tra...
American women attain more professional success than most of their counterparts around the world, but they lag surprisingly far behind in the national political arena. Women held only 15 percent of U.S. congressional seats in 2006, a proportion that ranks America behind eighty-two other countries in terms of females elected to legislative office. A compelling exploration of this deficiency, TheMotherless State reveals why the United States differs from comparable democracies that routinely elect far more women to their national governing bodies and chief executive positions. Explaining that equal rights alone do not ensure equal access to political office, Eileen McDonagh shows that electoral gender parity also requires public policies that represent maternal traits. Most other democracies, she demonstrates, view women as more suited to govern because their governments have taken on maternal roles through social welfare provisions, gender quotas, or the continuance of symbolic hereditary monarchies. The United States has not adopted such policies, and until it does, McDonagh insightfully warns, American women run for office with a troubling disadvantage.

Latin American cities have always been characterized by a strong tension between what is vaguely described as their formal and informal dimensions. However, the terms formal and informal refer not only to the physical aspect of cities but also to their entire socio-political fabric. Informal cities and settlements exceed the structures of order, control and homogeneity that one expects to find in a formal city; therefore the contributors to this volume - from such disciplines as architecture, urban planning, anthropology, urban design, cultural and urban studies and sociology - focus on alternative methods of analysis in order to study the phenomenon of urban informality. This book provides a thorough review of the work that is currently being carried out by scholars, practitioners and governmental institutions, in and outside Latin America, on the question of informal cities.
