Leaning on his training as an anthropologist, Gonzalo Garcia-Valdivieso makes a detailed testimony of his personal life.
Latin America at 200
Between 2010 and 2025, most of the countries of Latin America will commemorate two centuries of independence, and Latin Americans have much to celebrate at this milestone. Most countries have enjoyed periods of sustained growth, while inequality is showing modest declines and the middle class is expanding. Dictatorships have been left behind, and all major political actors seem to have accepted the democratic process and the rule of law. Latin Americans have entered the digital world, routinely using the Internet and social media. These new realities in Latin America call for a new introduction to its history and culture, which Latin America at 200 amply provides. Taking a reader-friendly ap...
Policy and Governance of Science, Technology, and Innovation
This volume explores the governance and management of science, technology, and innovation (STI) in relation to innovation policy and governance systems, highlighting its goal, challenges, and opportunities. Divided into two sections, it addresses the role of governments in promoting innovation in Latin-American contexts as well as barriers and opportunities for STI governance in the region. The chapters tackle the role of institutions, innovation funding, technological trajectories, regional innovation policies, innovation ecosystems, universities, knowledge appropriation, and markets. Researchers and scholars will find an opportunity to grasp a better understanding of innovation policies in emerging economies. This interdisciplinary work presents original research on science, technology and innovation policy and governance studies in an understudied region.
Amores oblicuos
Amores oblicuos: La homosexualidad en Colombia desde la literatura, la prensa y la pintura, 1890-1990 detalla la manera como en el país se buscó proscribir y demonizar, mediante la prensa escrita, las relaciones homoeróticas, y el modo como, desde el arte, se logró proponer y posicionar otras formas de representación de las sexualidades disidentes, en la vía del reconocimiento y la aceptación de expresiones que han estado presentes en la sociedad a pesar de ese intento heteronormativo de invisibilizarlas. En el libro se examinan, desde el enfoque de la historia cultural, las representaciones de la homosexualidad en los principales periódicos y revistas del país, al igual que en obra...
Fundamentals of GIS
Geographic information in decision making often goes unnoticed, but it is actually very present in our daily activities. Our eBook Fundamentals of GIS: Applications with ArcGIS shows the potential of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for geoprocessing and mapping using ArcGIS. This book is designed in a didactic and sequential way, as we advance in the development of the exercises we will acquire and improve our skills in the use of GIS tools, until we get to the publication of a well edited map. When the exercises in this book are completed and developed, the user will be able to fully understand the fundamentals of GIS, and the use of its main tools to generate maps. This is a book that will teach you from scratch and step by step the use of GIS for your professional projects.
Raros
En los 90 años comprendidos entre el Código Penal de 1890 y el de 1980, las relaciones sexuales entre hombres estuvieron penalizadas en Colombia. Raros se orientó hacia la construcción, durante ese periodo y bajo el enfoque de la historia cultural, de las formas como fueron representados los hombres que vivieron una práctica sexual disidente, o desterrada, del orden regular establecido en términos eróticos y sexuales en Medellín. A lo largo de este periodo, la medicina y la moral católica se esforzaron buscando una cura frente a lo que consideraron vicio o pecado; la prensa produjo en sus narrativas las bases para la emergencia de una mirada fóbica y un tratamiento violento y disci...
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
