En el castillo de Barba Azul aproximacin a un nuevo concepto de cultura
Los cuatro textos de este volumen constituyen un hito en el pensamiento contemporáneo por tratarse de una de las primeras tomas de posición ante las tendencias de pesimismo cultural presentes en autores como T. S. Eliot ya a mediados del siglo xx. A partir de su concepto de poscultura, Steiner formula una serie de réplicas de gran lucidez, belleza y atrevimiento, precisamente en un momento en que este pesimismo reaparece en todo su radicalismo y violencia.La cultura, nueva divinidad del siglo xx, había mostrado su impotencia ante la confianza puesta en ella al constatar que no pudo evitar ni suavizar las peores atrocidades surgidas de la mente humana. Y, sin embargo, postular la muerte de la cultura es un sinsentido mientras existan seres humanos. Deben ampliarse entonces las fronteras del concepto de cultura, aceptando como hechos culturales no sólo lo indecible del Holocausto, sino también la ciega destrucción masiva de un patrimonio cultural irrestituible?Steiner propone sopor

Daddy issues Un anlisis sobre la figura del padre en la cultura contempornea
El nacimiento y el desarrollo del movimiento #MeToo en 2017 implicó, entre muchas otras cosas, una dura crítica a nuestra sociedad entendida como una construcción patriarcal en la que, a lo largo de la historia y de manera continuada, los hombres han acaparado todas las parcelas de poder, y este poder se ha ejercido constantemente en perjuicio de las mujeres. Sin embargo, el movimiento #MeToo parece haber dejado al margen de sus debates al padre, figura fundamental a la hora de diseccionar las estructuras de poder que sostienen al patriarcado, y que además está en la misma raíz etimológica de la palabra. Si bien podemos exigir responsabilidades en la vida pública y privada a jefes, compañeros de trabajo, parejas y amigos, qué ocurre con los padres?A partir de un buen número de ejemplos tomados de la historia y de la ficción, la psiquiatra y sexóloga Katherine Angel ha tenido la audacia de reflexionar por primera vez de manera directa y profunda sobre el lugar que ocupa la figura pat

Manchester University Press Queer Muslim Diasporas in Contemporary Literature and Film
This book explores the representation of queer migrant Muslims in international literature and film from the 1980s to the present day. Bringing together a variety of contemporary writers and filmmakers of Muslim heritage engaged in vindicating same-sex desire, the book approaches queer Muslims in the diaspora as figures forced to negotiate their identities according to the expectations of the West and of their migrant Muslim communities. The book examines 3 main themes: the depiction of queer desire across racial and national borders, the negotiation of Islamic femininities and masculinities, and the positioning of the queer Muslim self in time and place. This study will be of interest to scholars, as well as to advanced general readers and postgraduate students, interested in Muslims, queerness, diaspora and postcolonialism. It brings nuance and complexity to an often simplified and controversial topic.

Elsevier - Health Sciences Division Precision Medicine in Neurodegenerative Disorders: Part I: Volume 192
Precision Medicine in Neurodegenerative Disorders, Part One, Volume 192 in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology deals with the "Why" in the approach to slow the progression of accelerated brain aging. This volume is intended to provide a scholarly background on the framework, basic science and conceptual pitfalls related to disease-modifying efforts in Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative disorders. Among topics covered are different models of precision medicine, the lumping-versus-splitting tension in biomarker development and therapeutics, and the rationale for replacing the convergence of the prevailing autopsy-based nosology of neurodegenerative diseases with the divergence of a systems biology approach to human diseases. Specific chapters are dedicated to the promise of genetic subtypes and the lessons in disease modification offered by the fields of oncology and cystic fibrosis that can be adapted to the field of neurodegeneration. Matching a biology-correcting therapy with those biologically suitable to benefit from such therapy represents the vision and mission of precision medicine, the highest level of personalized medicine.

Emerald Publishing Limited Institutional Logics in Action
The Institutional Logics Perspective is one of the fastest growing new theoretical areas in organization studies (Thornton, Ocasio & Lounsbury, 2012). Building on early efforts by Friedland & Alford (1991) to "bring society back in" to the study of organizational dynamics, this new scholarly domain has revived institutional analysis by embracing a focus on the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of institutions. In doing so, it has embraced a more practice-centered approach to agency that emphasizes situated interactions, the importance of history, the role of both symbolic and material elements, and the study of cross-level processes and mechanisms. This two volume set, seeded by an ABC Network conference held in Banff, Alberta, CANADA in June 2012, provides a fresh set of papers by scholars at the cutting edge of research on institutional logics. As a whole, the papers provide many novel theoretical insights about institutional logics in action - focusing on their dynamics, complexity, and evolving relationship to actors as actors actively navigate their social worlds.

Dundurn Group Ltd Borderline Shine: A Memoir

So began a young life defined by trauma. From Catholic boarding school in Kansas to the streets of the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver, Connie travelled in pursuit of acceptance and belonging.

Supported and inspired by exceptional friends, a love of books, and a connection to nature, she finally found her home, purpose, and peace. In Borderline Shine, Connie breaks the silence and shame of intergenerational violence.

Técnica del arte de hablar encaminada prioritariamente a persuadir al otro, la Retórica nació y se perfeccionó en una sociedad como la griega antigua, de carácter y sistema político predominantemente orales, y para la cual el dominio de la palabra era una necesidad práctica. Aunque inscrito dentro de una tradición anterior, el tratado que a ella dedicó Aristóteles se apartó, sin embargo, tanto de caminos trillados como de una retórica de corte más sofístico, para llegar a constituir, lindando los campos de la ética, la política y la dialéctica, un texto no sólo orientado a conseguir la persuasión, sino a evaluar la realidad y a tomar las decisiones más correctas.Introducción y traducción de Alberto Bernabé

Duke University Press Sovereignty in Ruins: A Politics of Crisis
Featuring essays by some of the most prominent names in contemporary political and cultural theory, Sovereignty in Ruins presents a form of critique grounded in the conviction that political thought is itself an agent of crisis. Aiming to develop a political vocabulary capable of critiquing and transforming contemporary political frameworks, the contributors advance a politics of crisis that collapses the false dichotomies between sovereignty and governmentality and between critique and crisis. Their essays address a wide range of topics, such as the role history plays in the development of a politics of crisis; Arendt's controversial judgment of Adolf Eichmann; Strauss's and Badiou's readings of Plato's Laws; the acceptance of the unacceptable; the human and nonhuman; and flesh as a biopolitical category representative of the ongoing crisis of modernity. Altering the terms through which political action may take place, the contributors think through new notions of the political that advance countermodels of biopolitics, radical democracy, and humanity.

Springer International Publishing AG Austerity vs Stimulus: The Political Future of Economic Recovery
This timely book debates the economic and political logic of the austerity policies that have been implemented in the UK and in the Eurozone since 2010 and asks whether there is any alternative for these countries in the years ahead. The work reconsiders the austerity versus stimulus debate through the voices of those who proposed the successful idea of expansionary austerity and those who opposed it. The editors have brought together a collection of articles written by some of the most notable figures in the discipline, including the likes of Alberto Alesina, Ken Rogoff, Tim Besley, David Graeber, Vince Cable, and Paul Krugman. The book also features the debate between Niall Ferguson and Robert Skidelsky. These leading thinkers unveil a world where economists are far from agreeing on economic policy, and where politics often dominates the discussion. The question of whether the British government should have opted for austerity runs through the book, as well as how sustained economic recovery should be encouraged in the future. Scholars, students and members of the general public with an interest in the financial crisis and its lingering aftermath will find this work invaluable.
