Narrow But Endlessly Deep
On 11 September 1973, the Chilean Chief of the Armed Forces Augusto Pinochet overthrew the Popular Unity government of Salvador Allende and installed a military dictatorship. Yet this is a book not of parties or ideologies but public history. It focuses on the memorials and memorialisers at seven sites of torture, extermination, and disappearance in Santiago, engaging with worldwide debates about why and how deeds of violence inflicted by the state on its own citizens should be remembered, and by whom. The sites investigated — including the infamous National Stadium — are among the most iconic of more than 1,000 such sites throughout the country. The study grants a glimpse of the depth o...
Seeking Meaning, Seeking Justice in a Post-Cold War World
The challenge for historians, as for individuals and nations, has been to make sense of the Cold War past without recourse to the obsolete frameworks of a dichotomous world. The editors of Seeking Meaning, Seeking Justice in the Post-Cold War World, Judith Keene and Elizabeth Rechniewski, have brought together contributions that address the diverse modes by which the Cold War is being assessed, with a major focus on countries on the periphery of the Cold War confrontation. These approaches include developments in historiography as new intellectual and cultural frame are applied to old debates. Authors also consider the ‘universal’ principles and moral discourses, including that of human rights, on which judgements have been based and judicial processes instigated; and the forms of memorialisation that have sought to come to terms, and perhaps achieve reconciliation, with a Cold War past. Contributors are: Ann Curthoys, Philip Deery, Katherine Hite, Michael Humphrey, Su-kyong Hwang, Perry Johansson, Judith Keene, Betty O'Neill, Peter Read, Elizabeth Rechniewski, Estela Valverde, Adrian Vickers and Marivic Wyndham
El Plan Hidrológico Nacional y sus implicaciones en el País Vasco
La presentación del Plan Hidrológico Nacional (PHN) ha generado un clima de efervescencia hidráulica: los temas del agua parecen haberse convertido en el acontecimiento social de los dos últimos años, generándose en la opinión pública el debate y, a la vez, un cierto grado de desconcierto y controversia, que se han manifestado en numerosas tensiones y sobre todo en una fuerte movilización social. En los albores del siglo XXI algo se está moviendo en la estructura de la planificación hidrológica en España, si bien es difícil saber en qué dirección. A estas alturas se han desgranado muchas reflexiones sobre el documento de Plan Hidrológico Nacional, aunque no parecen haber cambiado el rumbo de la política trasvasista de oferta que sustenta el contenido del texto del PHN. En el presente libro se reflexiona sobre las implicaciones que las estrategias planteadas en el PHN tendrán en el País Vasco y se apunta la necesidad de instaurar una nueva ética hidrológica en la que los ríos y otras masas de agua, además de percibirse como recurso, sean ensalzados por sus valores naturales y metafísicos.
Advances in Web Intelligence
In recent years the Internet has become a source of data and information of indisputable importance and has immensely gained in acceptance and popularity. The World Wide Web (WWW or Web, for short), frequently named “the nervous system of the infor- tion society,” offers numerous valuable services leaving no doubt about the signi?cance of the Web in our daily activities at work and at home. Consequently, we have a clear aspiration to meet the obvious need for effective use of its potential by making - provements in both the methods and the technology applied. Among the new research directions observable in Web-related applications, intelligent methods from within the broadly perceived to...
