Tal como lo constituye la perspectiva del feminismo descolonial en la región Latinoamericana/Abiayalense, parte del trabajo en la RPD consiste en el auspicio, edición y divulgación de escritos pertinentes a las necesidades contextuales de la región, en el orden de desarrollo de una geopolítica del conocimiento que piense el Sur como un proceso alternativo para un concepto nuevo de Dignidad Humana, con conciencia de identidad matria, regionalista y latinoamericana; fundada en la práctica de la justicia, el diálogo y la liberación individual y colectiva de los pueblos. Así pues, el presente libro titulado “Poéticas de los Feminismos Descoloniales desde el Sur” es un ejemplo de la rigurosidad por seguir fortaleciendo las discusiones provenientes desde Nuestra América, que logren mostrar “otras” epistemologías críticas, auto-críticas y reflexivas en los Estudios de Género. En efecto, la necesidad de continuar re-pensando la teoría feminista desde el Sur, implica un reto a fin de establecer diálogos entre la realidad concreta y la praxis de los sectores oprimidos o subalternos que resisten, existen y reclaman por Justicia y Liberación
Forbidden Lave in Kalkan is a series of stories linked by a city and an imaginary family. It forms a curious novel, or rather; it is a novel, a structure of uncommon form on a series of ten short stories, each independent but all integrated into one. It is in colloquial language narrations allowing connection to any of the people of Latin America, but is universal in extent. As the narrator says, "life" becomes an almost day-to-day story that could succeed in all parts of the world.
This edited volume is a timely and comprehensive summary of the New Zealand lizard fauna. Nestled in the south-west Pacific, New Zealand is a large archipelago that displays the faunal signatures of both its Gondwanan origins, and more recent oceanic island influences. New Zealand was one of the last countries on Earth to be discovered, and likewise, the full extent of the faunal diversity present within the archipelago is only just starting to be appreciated. This is no better exemplified than in lizards, where just 30 species (20 skinks, 10 geckos) were recognized in the 1950s, but now 104 are formally or informally recognized (61 skinks, 43 geckos). Thus, New Zealand contains one of the most diverse lizard faunas of any cool, temperate region on Earth. This book brings together the world’s leading experts in the field to produce an authoritative overview of the history, taxonomy, biogeography, ecology, life-history, physiology and conservation of New Zealand lizards.
Brand warfare is real. Guerrilla Marketing details the Colombian government’s efforts to transform Marxist guerrilla fighters in the FARC into consumer citizens. Alexander L. Fattal shows how the market has become one of the principal grounds on which counterinsurgency warfare is waged and postconflict futures are imagined in Colombia. This layered case study illuminates a larger phenomenon: the convergence of marketing and militarism in the twenty-first century. Taking a global view of information warfare, Guerrilla Marketing combines archival research and extensive fieldwork not just with the Colombian Ministry of Defense and former rebel communities, but also with political exiles in Sw...
'It is not so very difficult to predict the future. It is only pointless...what is always far more important are fundamental changes that happened though no one predicted them or could possible have predicted them.' (quote taken from this book) It is these unpredictable and irreversible changes from the past, and their effect on the role of the executive which Peter Drucker examines in his latest book. The management of change is a subject which has been, undoubtedly, the principal preoccupation of management thinkers in the 1990s. Peter Drucker, the guru's guru, brings together a group of his own original essays and interviews on this vitally important topic. As ever, he provides invaluable food for thought for all executives and students of business and management.
