An‡lisis del discurso y pensamiento cr’tico
La elaboración de libros como este en la universidad española, fruto del trabajo colectivo en un simposio académico multidisciplinar, se ha convertido en un género propio de características peculiares. Ante todo los preside un carácter libérrimo producto de los diversos posicionamientos filosóficos, ideológicos y personales de los investigadores que los escriben. Podemos decir, sin temor a caer en la hipérbole, que cada libro de los simposios de análisis del discurso es un trabajo sui generis, dicho esto en su sentido etimológico estricto, de su propio género. Estos libros son un instrumento que nos permite aproximarnos a la forma de entender el mundo que cada autor tiene, es una manera, en cierto modo, de penetrar en su intimidad, de poder dirigir una mirada a la personalidad interna, casi secreta, de su autor.
Panorámica de la prensa en el Ecuador garciano
El impulso constructor de una nación católica y moderna que promovió García Moreno en Ecuador, en la segunda mitad del siglo xix, desestructuró consensos, potenció el juego político y polarizó las opiniones. La prensa adquirió entonces un protagonismo propio y se convirtió en un "actor" impulsor de cambios que marcaron la cultura política del estado andino. En coyunturas específicas –económicas y electorales– se convirtió en un verdadero "campo de batalla" entre adeptos y opositores que pugnaban por la opinión de la sociedad ecuatoriana en su plural configuración. Esas múltiples y discordes voces son las que recoge el estudio desde un enfoque panorámico que conjunta la ...
Greek Gods Abroad
From even before the time of Alexander the Great, the Greek gods spread throughout the Mediterranean, carried by settlers and largely adopted by the indigenous populations. By the third century b.c., gods bearing Greek names were worshipped everywhere from Spain to Afghanistan, with the resulting religious systems a variable blend of Greek and indigenous elements. Greek Gods Abroad examines the interaction between Greek religion and the cultures of the eastern Mediterranean with which it came into contact. Robert Parker shows how Greek conventions for naming gods were extended and adapted and provides bold new insights into religious and psychological values across the Mediterranean. The result is a rich portrait of ancient polytheism as it was practiced over 600 years of history.
Environmental Crime in Latin America
This book is the first green criminology text to focus specifically on Latin America. Green criminology has always adopted a broad horizon and explicitly emphasised that environmental crimes and harms affect countries and cultures around the world. The chapters collected here illuminate and describe the “theft of nature” and the “poisoning of the land” in Latin America through and from processes of agro-industry expansion, biopiracy, legal and illegal trafficking of free-born non-human animals, and mining. An interdisciplinary study, this collection draws on research from a wide range of international experts on not only green criminology, but also social justice, political ecology and sociology. An engaging and thought-provoking work, this book will be an essential text for anyone interested in current issues in environmental crime.
Redeeming Laughter
Amid the variety of human experiences, the comic occupies a distinctive place. It is simultaneously ubiquitous, relative, and fragile. In this book, Peter L. Berger reflects on the nature of the comic and its relationship to other human experiences. Berger contends that the comic is an integral aspect of human life, yet one that must be approached and analyzed circumspectly and circuitously. Beginning with an exploration of the anatomy of the comic, Berger addresses humor in philosophy, physiology, psychology, and the social sciences before turning to a discussion of different types of comedy and finally suggesting a theology of the comic in terms of its relationship to folly, redemption, and transcendence. Along the way, the reader is treated to a variety of jokes on a variety of topics, with particular emphasis on humor and its relationship to religion. Originally published in 1997, the second edition includes a new preface reflecting on Berger’s work in the intervening years, particularly on the relationship between humor and modernity.
