¿Existe la italianidad? ¿De modo científicamente razonable? ¿Una sola italianidad? ¿Nacer italiano, ser italiano, hacerse italiano, vivir en Italia o amar la cultura italiana determinan que se posea en mayor o menor medida dicha supuesta italianidad? ¿Por obra y gracia del clima y de la geografia italianas? ¿Por el arte italiano, incluida naturalmente su literatura? ¿Es una fantasia identitaria, un deseo basado en mitos? ¿Resulta pacificamente compatible con otras identidades, individuales o colectivas? ¿Consiste en una construccion de sentido que marca eficazmente mas alla de la pura mercadotecnia empresarial o nacional? ¿Como se ha ido elaborando, como ha sido, como es, como podria ser lo que podemos llamar italianidad?

This textbook presents a clear and accessible argument for sustainable planning and development The book discusses multiple environmental issues and examines how potential solutions can and should be addressed in the context of space and place The book also offers an invaluable discussion on the need for a framework for system based thinking where various disciplines should work together to find innovative solutions Students are provided with an appreciation of the need for an interdisciplinary approach to these issues combined with an underlying sense of space an appreciation of cultural diversity and differences as well as associated insights into human relationships These core attributes put space at the heart of environmental and natural resources management in terms of policy planning and on the ground initiatives This book will be an invaluable reference for advanced undergraduate graduate students and researchers working in the field looking for an accessible overview of this interdisciplinary approach to the topic

This book elucidates what it means to transition to alternative sources of energy and discusses the potential for this energy transition to be a more democratic process The book dynamically describes a recent sociotechnical study of a number of energy transitions occurring in several countries France Germany and Tunisia and involving different energy technologies including solar on off shore wind smart grids biomass low energy buildings and carbon capture and storage Drawing on a pragmatist tradition of social inquiry the authors examine the consequences of energy transition processes for the actors and entities that are affected by them as well as the spaces for political participation they offer This critical inquiry is organised according to foundational categories that have defined the energy transition renewable energy resources markets economic instruments technological demonstration spatiality scale and temporality horizon s Using a set of select case studies this book systematically investigates the role these categories play in the current developments in energy transitions

After decades of debate about global warming the fact of the climate crisis is finally widely accepted People at all scales from the household to the global market are attempting to govern climate to deal with its causes and impacts Although the stakes are different now governing climate is centuries old In this book Zeke Baker develops a genealogy of climate science that traces the relationship between those who have created knowledge of the climate and those who have attempted to gain power and govern society right up to the present historic moment Baker draws together over two centuries of science politics and environmental change to demonstrate the co production of climate knowledge and power seeking activity with a focus on the United States This book provides a fresh account of contemporary issues transecting science and climate politics specifically the rise of climate security and examines how climate science can either facilitate or reconcile the unequal distribution of power and resources

¡La verdad os hará libres, Soluciones para salir de la trampa!

Cuando aceptó la invitación a escribir su autobiografía intelectual, no imaginaba que fuera tan difícil. La autocensura le ha costado interrupciones, barreras que no era capaz de traspasar. ¿Hasta donde llega el derecho a hablar de si y de los otros? A solas con su propia memoria, ha revivido momentos de angustia y de esplendor. Recibio las primeras nociones del mundo a traves de los cuentos y las oraciones; la juventud quedo marcada por la muerte de su padre y la incorporacion a una Universidad que hervia en deseos de cambio; asumio despues el proposito de renovar la ciencia, abriendo hueco para las mujeres en todos los campos del saber; ha conocido la hiel y la miel de la vida academica; recuerda con cariño sus puentes intelectuales y afectivos con colegas e instituciones de Europa, Estados Unidos y America Latina. Cierra el relato con las fatigas del paso del tiempo y un guiño a la esperanza; si la prorroga fuera clemente, como viviria lo que le quede por vivir. Acompaña la autobiografia con una seleccion de publicaciones sobre desigualdad, situacion social de las mujeres, trabajo no remunerado, urbanismo, la renovacion de la ciencia y el cuidado. Solo son una minima porcion de su obra, pero invitan al lector a que prosiga por su cuenta. Maria Çngeles Duran recibio el

La Universidad de Barcelona ha acogido durante años antropólogos de reconocido prestigio internacional. Algunos participaron en la creación del Departamento de Antropología Cultural y su obra ha consolidado ambitos de investigacion primordiales que han convertido esta disciplina en un campo al servicio de la comunidad. En el presente libro, Joan Prat Caros ofrece las principales aportaciones de cuatro de ellos: Joan Bestard, Jesus Contreras, Joan Frigole e Ignasi Terradas. Todos contribuyeron a introducir el mundo rural en los intereses de los investigadores, a la vez que se adentraron en otras areas como el parentesco (Bestard), la antropologia de la alimentacion (Contreras), los estudios sobre genocidio y violencia (Frigole) y la antropologia juridica (Terradas). Con esta aproximacion, el autor no solo rinde un merecido homenaje a los cofundadores de la antropologia catalana, sino que difunde las metodologias cientificas e interpretativas con las que se avanzaron a otros especialistas de su tiempo.

Trad., Ariel Shalom. Cambiar de hábitos, buscar nuevos estímulos, abrirse a la aventura, procurar expreriencias límite, son algunas de las manifestaciones que nos hablan de un amor por el azar y la incertidumbre, algo que va en un sentido completamente inverso a los valores del progreso consagrados por el esiritu prometeico de la modernidad. Maffesoli hace eco de un mundo desordenado, laberintico y hermetico, un presente encantado por la multiplicidad de la significacion que nos convoca a mirar con nuevos ojos.

Los rostros del Otro es un esfuerzo de escritura realizado desde distintos órdenes del discurso para abordar ciertas formas de relación con la alteridad que devienen en ciertas figuras portadoras de subjetividades quebradas, presentes en toda clase de racismos, xenofobias y fanatismos. Pero tambien traslucen posibilidades para reconocer que todos somos el Otro: extraños, trashumantes o monstruos cuyas sensibilidades, miedos y esperanzas no desaparecen ante las Violencias Totalitarias, aunque sean ejercidas por una sola persona. Estos ensayos son enfrentamientos con el rostro de una alteridad irreducible que demanda, aqui y ahora, hacernos cargo de otro modo con el afuera y con nosotros mismos.

El ''choque de civilizaciones'' no tendrá lugar. Al contrario, lo que se perfila a escala planetaria es un poderoso movimiento de convergencia. Y el mundo musulmán no escapa a la regla. De Marruecos a Indonesia, de Bosnia a Arabia Saudi, su demografia da testimonio de ello: subida del nivel de alfabetizacion de hombre y mujeres, descenso de la fecundidad, erosion de la endogamia... Cambios profundos que son, a un tiempo, signo y estimulo de una mutacion en profundidad de las estructuras familiares, las relaciones de autoridad y las referencias ideologicas. Sin duda, estos procesos no van a tener lugar sin generar crispaciones y resistencias. Pero estas reacciones no son tanto obstaculos a la modenizacion como los sintomas de su aceleracion.
