El mundo se compone de cosas. Ellas van construyendo nuestra identidad, nos proporcionan estabilidad y coherencia, y en ellas queda escrita nuestra historia. Nos hacen terrenales, temporales, espaciales. Las cosas, los espacios que crean, los tiempos que requieren e imponen, los sentimientos que provocan, los movimientos que incitan y permiten, las acciones que sugieren, los cuerpos y las mentes que modulan... Sin embargo, nosotros solo vemos de ellas su utilidad y su eficacia, su instrumentalidad, su capacidad técnica, no su potencial experiencial, mental. Les negamos el ser y el hacernos lo que fuimos y lo que somos. Mentes corpóreas. Mentes de cosas. Acaso solo cosas. El Seminario Inter...

I want to live, but in this country there is total impunity. When they want to kill me, they will do it.’ In 2015, Cáceres won the Goldman Prize, the world’s most prestigious environmental award, for leading a campaign to stop construction of an internationally funded hydroelectric dam on a river sacred to her Lenca people. Less than a year later she was dead. Lakhani tracked Cáceres remarkable career, in which the def...

"Musical theatre is --and always has been-- an international form, not just an American one. It can take root anywhere. Few people would realise that such hit standards as "The Glow Worm", "Brazil", "Mack the Knife", "I Will Wait for You" and "El Condor Pasa" came from foreign language musicals. A Million Miles from Broadway --Musical Theatre Beyond New York and London looks at the history (and future) of work that exists outside of the two traditional centres. Met Atkey has lectured internationally on musical theatre. He is also a composer and lyricist himself. When his musical A Little Princess (written with the late Robert Sickinger) opened, the New York Times praised its "lovely music". His earlier book Broadway North: the Dream of a Canadian Musical Theatre has become the basis for courses taught in Canadian Universities, including Sheridan College, where the international hit musical Come from Away was born. Austrailian TV producer and musical writer Peter Pinne called it "well documented", full of facts, and a compelling read for any musical theatre buff." "--
El objetivo de este libro es tomar el pulso diario de una escuela a lo largo de un curso. A través de un centenar de imágenes y textos se explican los proyectos, las actividades, las formas de enseñar y de aprender, el cultivo de las diversas inteligencias, los espacios de aprendizaje dentro y fuera de la escuela, las rutinas y los rituales, los valores educativos, la relación con las familias y las intervenciones y opiniones de todos los agentes de la comunidad educativa. Este libro explica la cantidad de cosas previsibles e imprevisibles que pasan durante un curso, así como la complejidad y la cantidad de funciones que debe asumir una escuela. Todo aquello que marca la vida de una institución educativa y que, en definitiva, construye la escuela.
