Estética: miradas contemporáneas 2
Con la publicación de este volumen, titulado Estética: miradas contemporáneas 2. Teoría, praxis, sociedad, la Universidad de Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano da continuidad a un proceso iniciado hace varios años, durante el cual se ha ido construyendo un ámbito de estudio sobre los fundamentos filosóficos, sociológicos y antropológicos que sustentan esa plural forma de construcción humana que se ha dado en llamar hecho artístico. El texto compila una serie de ensayos académicos cuyas temáticas examinan, desde varias perspectivas teóricas y disciplinares, diversos tópicos relacionados con la naturaleza de los fenómenos artísticos, la imagen y la arquitectura. Es el resultado de la reflexión y el debate que, alrededor de temas relacionados con las teorías estéticas, se han llevado a cabo en el ámbito de algunos de los grupos de estudio conformados por profesores del Departamento de Humanidades.
Music in Renaissance Magic
Magic enjoyed a vigorous revival in sixteenth-century Europe, attaining a prestige lost for over a millennium and becoming, for some, a kind of universal philosophy. Renaissance music also suggested a form of universal knowledge through renewed interest in two ancient themes: the Pythagorean and Platonic "harmony of the celestial spheres" and the legendary effects of the music of bards like Orpheus, Arion, and David. In this climate, Renaissance philosophers drew many new and provocative connections between music and the occult sciences. In Music in Renaissance Magic, Gary Tomlinson describes some of these connections and offers a fresh view of the development of early modern thought in Ital...
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
The GTSS Atlas
"Surveillance is the ongoing, systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health-related data essential to the planning, implementation and evaluation of public health practice. It is closely integrated with the timely determination of data to those responsible for prevention and control. The atlas visualizes a decade of work in establishing the Global Tobacco Surveillance System (GTSS), which has become the largest public health surveillance system ever developed and maintained. The atlas documents the components of the GTSS, which include the monitoring of tobacco use and tobacco control measures among youth, school personnel, health professions students and adults. It maps the coverage of the surveys and provides data on the various elements of a comprehensive tobacco control strategy outlined in the Who- FCTC and MPOWER policy. It illustrates the importance of enhancing country capability to develop, implement and evaluate tobacco control programs though and a systematic framework. This resource will be invaluable to policy makers, public health practitioners, scholars and students interested in tobacco control." - p. 9
