Como apuntan Jurado y Robles, «somos hijas de aquellas mujeres que antes que nosotras han luchado por alcanzar la igualdad de derechos y oportunidades, y somos hijas del futuro porque reclamamos el tiempo venidero como un espacio propio en...
En el periodo comprendido entre 2010 y 2020 las nuevas tecnologías de edición y comunicación revolucionaron el mundo editorial del fantástico español, ayudaron a fomentar su difusión y permitieron una organización más eficiente de fans y escritores, pero también avivaron el linchamiento gratuito y el caos. La situación actual no es más que la germinación de los hechos que acontecieron en ese periodo. No pediré disculpas habla de eso y de mucho más. En un tono personal y directo, Felicidad Martínez, autora de ciencia ficción, relata su experiencia durante esos años, desgranando los sucesos y las situaciones más relevantes que vivió, sin dejar de lado el espíritu crítico y objetivo. ¿Te atreves a leerlo?
Combining poetic language and the traditions of magic realism to paint a vivid portrait of her family, Pat Mora’s House of Houses is an unconventional memoir that reads as if every member, death notwithstanding, is in one room talking, laughing, and crying. In a salute to the Day of the Dead, the story begins with a visit to the cemetery in which all of her deceased relatives come alive to share stories of the family, literally bringing the food to their own funerals. From there the book covers a year in the life of her clan, revealing the personalities and events that Mora herself so desperately yearns to know and understand.
The emergence of genomic variability is a fundamental process in evolution that has been the focus of recent high-profile scientific debates, with a particular focus on epigenetic modifications shown to influence genomic variability.Epigenetics and Evolution, a new volume in the Translational Epigenetics series, introduces key themes from current epigenetic evolution research, with contributions from leading scientists around the world that investigate the role of epigenetic mechanisms in evolution from a variety of different angles, with each contribution combining theory, current research overviews, and applications. This book gives researchers, students, and clinicians a better understanding of the origin of genotypic and phenotypic variability, the role of epigenetics in development and inheritance, how epigenetics may affect speciation and geographic distribution, and the evolution of epigenetic mechanisms in different taxa, and helps them apply their learnings across new research. Other modalities and subtopics explored include epigenetics in neutral evolution; epigenetics and cellular physiology; Paleo-epigenetics; Archeo-epigenetics; epigenetics and pathogen evolution;...
The Falklands Saga presents abundant evidence from hundreds of pages of documents in archives and libraries in Buenos Aires, La Plata, Montevideo, London, Cambridge, Stanley, Paris, Munich and Washington DC, some never printed before, many printed here for the first time, in English and, where different, in their original languages, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Latin or Dutch. It provides the facts to correct the fallacies and distortions in accounts by earlier authors. It reveals persuasive evidence that the Falklands were discovered by a Portuguese expedition at the latest around 1518-19, and not by Vespucci or Magellan. It demonstrates conclusively that the Anglo-Spanish agreement of 1771 did not contain a reservation of Spanish rights, that Britain did not make a secret promise to abandon the islands, and that the Nootka Sound Convention of 1790 did not restrict Britain's rights in the Falklands, but greatly extended them at the expense of Spain. For the first time ever, the despairing letters from the Falklands written in German in 1824 to Louis Vernet by his brother Emilio are printed here in full, in both the original German and in English translation, revealing the...
Traiter de la Terre, c'est avoir à l'esprit une chaîne symbiotique : celle du vivant, dans ses innombrables déploiements. Les humains, les espèces animales et végétales, les microbes, bactéries et virus, les corps inorganiques et les substances minérales ainsi que les dispositifs technologiques et autres appareillages artificiels font inséparablement partie de cette chaîne du vivant. Mais c'est aussi le cas, du moins dans les pensées animistes africaines, de toutes les forces invisibles, des génies, des esprits et des masques. Prenant fermement appui sur l'insondable richesse de ces pensées, Achille Mbembe propose dans cet essai une réflexion stimulante sur la Terre, ses devenirs, et surtout la sorte de communauté qu'elle forme avec la cohorte des espèces animées et inanimées qui l'habitent, y ont trouvé refuge ou y séjournent. Il montre comment notre relation fondamentale à la Terre ne peut être que celle de l'habitant et du passant. C'est en tant qu'habitant et passant qu'elle nous accueille et nous abrite, qu'elle entretient les traces de notre passage, celles qui parlent en notre nom et en mémoire de qui nous aurons été, avec d'autres et au milieu...
L'époque où l'intérêt pour les enjeux stratégiques, économiques, politiques et environnementaux des zones Arctique et Antarctique était limité à quelques centaines de spécialistes à l'échelle mondiale est révolue. En dix ans, la prise de conscience environnementale et l'accélaration de la fonte des glaces en particulier ont fait des mondes polaires un sujet clé bien au-delà de la communauté universitaire. Devenus un Eldorado économique, ils attirent les plus grandes entreprises : si Total, Areva, Engie, Dassault, Bouygues ou Vinci se sont déjà positionnés en Arctique, ce sont les secteurs du tourisme, des télécommunications et de la défense qui sont les plus présents en Antarctique. Cet ouvrage permet de comprendre toute l'étendue, la magnitude et le caractère historique des enjeux contemporains des mondes polaires. Les thèmes géopolitiques abordés tout au long de l'ouvrage sans jargon ni tabous permettent de comprendre les réalités politiques, stratégiques et industrielles, les différends territoriaux, les enjeux énergétiques
En quoi les zoonoses, ces maladie infectieuses animales transmissibles à l'être humain, comme la rage, la tuberculose, la grippe aviaire ou la Covid-19, modifient-elles nos conceptions de la politique, du pouvoir, de l'émancipation ? Sans la récente pandémie de Sars-Cov-2, cette question n'aurait peut-être pas acquis l'acuité et l'urgence qui la caractérisent aujourd'hui. D'après de nombreux rapports scientifiques, le nombre et l'ampleur de ces zoonoses sont appelés à augmenter, leur place étant directement liée aux dérèglements climatiques et à la baisse rapide de la biodiversité. Il est fréquent, dans la mouvance écologiste, d'interpréter la prolifération des virus comme la revanche de la nature contre le mauvais traitement que les humains lui feraient subir. Une veine complotiste croit y voir une lutte entre puissances autour des armes biologiques. En s'intéressant aux pratiques contemporaines de préparation aux pandémies, ce livre emprunte une tout autre voie. Car, depuis vingt ans, la " chasse aux virus ", inventée il y a un siècle, a cédé la place à une autre approche, où l'animal occupe un rôle éminent d'émetteur potentiel de signaux...
Dice el diccionario que lo insólito es lo raro, lo extraño, lo desacostumbrado. Lo insólito nos permite observar el mundo desde el otro lado del espejo y deformar las imágenes de la realidad para mostrar su verdadero rostro. En esta antología, lo insólito es todo aquello que resulta extraordinario. Lo que se sale de lo común: lo inusual, lo fabuloso o lo inexplicable. Lo que aspira a ir más allá de la realidad. Pero quizá lo verdaderamente insólito es que no se hubiera publicado antes ninguna antología de género fantástico escrita por mujeres en Latinoamérica y España. Y era necesario. Importante. Por eso reunimos a casi una treintena de autoras de al menos dos tercios de los países hispanohablantes, de diferentes generaciones y temáticas, con la representación de sus mejores relatos. Insólitas serán las lecturas que se agazapan entre estas páginas.
Podríamos decir que, además del padre, Howard Phillips fue ideólogo de los Mitos de Cthulhu. Cuando comenzó a producir los cuentos, no tenía en mente otra cosa que explorar el terror primigenio —ese que enfrenta al alma humana con los terrores de un cosmos desconocido— como eje de sus historias. Pero, pronto comenzó una relación epistolar con otros autores, el Círculo de Lovecraft, del que surgieron una serie de narraciones que compartían una serie de elementos y que engrosaron el corpus de los llamados Mitos de Cthulhu. En esta antología, muchas décadas después, un grupo de autores españoles nos ofrecen sus propias exploraciones de los Mitos de Cthulhu. Aquí, encontraremos a autores que han frecuentado de manera asidua los Mitos junto a otros que los abordan por primera vez. Leeremos relatos ajustados al canon de los Mitos, otros más fronterizos y algunos experimentales. Los hay de terror puro, homenajes, humor y hasta alguna parodia. Los autores noveles se mezclan con otros muy veteranos, y los cuentos de manera expresa para la antología lo hacen con otros que ya fueron publicados hace años. Todos juntos, nos dan una panorámica bastante ajustada —aunque,...

With an Afterword by Theodore Koditschek A number of important developments and discoveries across the British Empire's imperial landscape during the nineteenth century invited new questions about human ancestry. The rise of secularism and scientific naturalism; new evidence, such as skeletal and archaeological remains; and European encounters with different people all over the world challenged the existing harmony between science and religion and threatened traditional biblical ideas about special creation and the timeline of human history. Advances in print culture and voyages of exploration also provided researchers with a wealth of material that contributed to their investigations into humanity’s past. Historicizing Humans takes a critical approach to nineteenth-century human history, as the contributors consider how these histories were shaped by the colonial world, and for various scientific, religious, and sociopolitical purposes. This volume highlights the underlying questions and shared assumptions that emerged as various human developmental theories competed for dominance throughout the British Empire.
Atlas of Material Worlds is a highly designed narrative atlas illustrating the agency of nonliving materials with unique, ubiquitous, and often hidden influence on our daily lives. Employing new materialism as a jumping-off point, it examines the increasingly blurry lines between the organic and inorganic, engaging the following questions: What roles do nonliving materials play? Might a closer examination of those roles reveal an undeniable agency we have long overlooked or disregarded? If so, does this material agency change our understanding of the social structures, ecologies, economies, cosmologies, technologies, and landscapes that surround us? And, perhaps most importantly, why does material agency matter? This is the story of the world’s driest nonpolar desert, pink flamingos, and cerulean blue lithium ponds; industrial shipping logistics, pudding-like jiggling substrates, and monuments of mud; galactic bodies, radioactive sheep, and the yellowcake of uranium. Put simply, this book dares readers to see the world anew, from material up. Atlas of Material Worlds offers this new relationship to our host environment in a time of mounting crises—accelerating climate change,...

Leading gender and science scholar Sarah S. Richardson charts the untold history of the idea that a woman's health and behavior during pregnancy can have long-term effects on her descendants' health and welfare. The idea that a woman may leave a biological trace on her gestating offspring has long been a commonplace folk intuition and a matter of scientific intrigue, but the form of that idea has changed dramatically over time. Beginning with the advent of modern genetics at the turn of the twentieth century, biomedical scientists dismissed any notion that a mother—except in cases of extreme deprivation or injury—could alter her offspring’s traits. Consensus asserted that a child’s fate was set by a combination of its genes and post-birth upbringing. Over the last fifty years, however, this consensus was dismantled, and today, research on the intrauterine environment and its effects on the fetus is emerging as a robust program of study in medicine, public health, psychology, evolutionary biology, and genomics. Collectively, these sciences argue that a woman’s experiences, behaviors, and physiology can have life-altering effects on offspring development. Tracing a...
This book explores the essence of immunity. After an initial review of hypotheses, models, and theories proposed to explain immune phenomena in humans and mice, it summarizes the results from synchronic organism‐level analyses and diachronic analyses tracing phylogeny. These results suggest that immunity is coextensive with life and is equipped with functions similar to the nervous system. Philosophical reflection with reference to Spinoza and Canguilhem suggests immunity is part of the essence of life—and the essence of immunity embraces mental elements with normativity. Approaching the essence of any phenomenon in this way is called "metaphysicalization of science." This book demonstrates the potential of this approach and contributes to a richer understanding of nature. Key Features Reviews the history of immunological theories Discusses and integrates science and philosophy Provides a biological framework for cognition and self vs. nonself Inspired by Auguste Comte’s "The Law of Three Stages"
In this book, Esposito presents a historiography of organicist and holistic thought through an examination of the work of leading biologists from Britain and America. He shows how this work relates to earlier Romantic tradition and sets it within the wider context of the history and philosophy of the life sciences.
This book analyses the concept of disease, as defined in the context of evolutionary medicine. Upon introducing the reader to evolutionary medicine in its current form and describing its approach to disease instances, the book leverages thoughts and instruments of knowledge of epistemology, social sciences, and ethics to answer the question: “How can we build a timely and appropriate concept of disease?” At first, it looks at the social concerns of medicalization, for example focusing on the suffering of people who have not been diagnosed, or whose suffering is not caused by certain elements that falls under the definitions of disease. In turn, it merges different, both conceptual and empirical considerations in one comprehensive analysis, with the aim of fostering a multidisciplinary understanding of the phenomenon of disease. This book also highlights certain kinds of epistemic injustices that are taking place in the healthcare system, as this is currently conceived in post-industrial societies, thus offering a timely contribution to the current debate around social justice in healthcare.
Humans must eat, and our eating involves us in a cascade of eating relationships that leave life and death biting into each other. These realities should—but often do not—profoundly shape our understanding of personhood. This book explores “parasitic personhood,” an alternative to atomistic individualism that acknowledges the biological individual as a network of persistent biological relationships (a “holobiont”) and draws insight from the astonishing frequency and variety of parasitic feeding relationships. What happens to our conception of personhood if we consider parasitism as more than just a threat to our health? Parasitism is a remarkably common form of life; however, we tend to think of parasites only as dangerous pestilential organisms that should be eliminated. What if parasitism—in particular, persistent eating relationships that threaten to destabilize host organisms—were instead the model in terms of which we understood what it means to be a person? What if we acknowledged the ineliminability—indeed, the centrality—of parasitism to life and embraced both the persistent eating and the precarity that they entail as central to our understanding of...

The Handbook focuses on a comprehensive set of central areas of study in higher education that encompasses the salient dimensions of scholarly and policy inquiries undertaken in the international higher education community. Each annual volume contains chapters on such diverse topics as research on college students and faculty, organization and administration, curriculum and instruction, policy, diversity issues, economics and finance, history and philosophy, community colleges, advances in research methodology and more. The series is fortunate to have attracted annual contributions from distinguished scholars throughout the world.
The main objective of this edited collection is to provide an insight into key facets of contemporary research and scholarship on race and ethnicity. The various chapters were presented at a conference to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the international journal Ethnic and Racial Studies. Given this context, contributors reflect on the evolution of scholarship over the past five decades, and look forward to the range of issues that we shall need to research and understand more fully in the future. In doing so they both provide an overview of the shifting boundaries of the field of ethnic and racial studies and display an engagement with emerging fields of scholarship and research. The volume brings together leading scholars who have experience of researching race and ethnicity in various parts of the globe, and combines conceptual reflection with empirically focused analysis. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
This book investigates the selective nature of UN sanctions regimes with a specific focus on the post-Cold War era. Legally binding on all members, UN sanctions are the most effective and legitimate non-violent multilateral tools to respond to international security threats. They are also symbolically more powerful than unilateral or multilateral sanctions because they enjoy global support. However, while dozens of threats to international peace were met with UN sanctions since 1990, many others were not. How can we explain this incoherent approach? With a focus on the selectiveness, rather than effectiveness of UN sanctions the author reflects on the shifting geopolitical tensions between Security Council members and uses a variety of widely used academic datasets to provide a unique overview of what determines sanctions and sanctionable events. The primary audience will be scholars and students of international relations, international organizations, security studies, and political economy.
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a particular story about the United States’ role in the long history of world civilization was constructed in public spaces, through public art and popular histories. This narrative posited that civilization and its benefits – science, law, writing, art and architecture – began in Egypt and Mesopotamia before passing ever further westward, towards a triumphant culmination on the American continent. Early Civilization and the American Modern explores how this teleological story answered anxieties about the United States’ unique role in the long march of progress. Eva Miller focuses on important figures who collaborated on the creation of a visual, progressive narrative in key institutions, world’s fairs and popular media: Orientalist and public intellectual James Henry Breasted, astronomer George Ellery Hale, architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, and decorative artists Lee Lawrie and Hildreth Meière. At a time when new information about the ancient Middle East was emerging through archaeological excavation, ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia appeared simultaneously old and new. This same period was crucial to the development...
Access to land, in all its multiple meanings, is necessarily diverse, complex, and contentious, and facilitating and maintaining such access constitutes a mosaic of social relations and institutional instruments, rather than the minimalist and simplistic reduction of land to land property, that in turn tends to be interpreted always as individual private property. The Oxford Handbook of Land Politics offers heterodox analytical tools to help the reader make sense of the complexity of the politics of land.
Race mixture, or mestizaje, has played a critical role in the history, culture, and politics of Latin America. In Degrees of Mixture, Degrees of Freedom, Peter Wade draws on a multidisciplinary research study in Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia. He shows how Latin American elites and outside observers have emphasized mixture's democratizing potential, depicting it as a useful resource for addressing problems of racism (claiming that race mixture undoes racial difference and hierarchy), while Latin American scientists participate in this narrative with claims that genetic studies of mestizos can help isolate genetic contributors to diabetes and obesity and improve health for all. Wade argues that, in the process, genomics produces biologized versions of racialized difference within the nation and the region, but a comparative approach nuances the simple idea that highly racialized societies give rise to highly racialized genomics. Wade examines the tensions between mixture and purity, and between equality and hierarchy in liberal political orders, exploring how ideas and scientific data about genetic mixture are produced and circulate through complex networks.
Modern science and ideas of race have long been entangled, sharing notions of order, classification, and hierarchy. Ordering the Human presents cutting-edge interdisciplinary scholarship that examines the racialization of science in various global contexts, illuminating how racial logics have been deployed to classify, marginalize, and oppress. These wide-ranging essays—written by experts in genetics, forensics, public health, history, sociology, and anthropology—investigate the influence of racial concepts in scientific knowledge production across regions and eras. Chapters excavate the mechanisms by which racialized science serves projects of power and domination, and they explore different forms of resistance. Topics range from skull collecting by eighteenth-century German and Dutch scientists to the use of biology to reinforce notions of purity in present-day South Korea and Brazil. The authors investigate the colonial legacies of the pathologization of weight for the Maori people, the scientific presumption of coronary artery disease risk among South Asians, and the role of racial categories in COVID-19 statistics and responses, among many other cases. Tracing the...

This edited volume features a collection of essays on the COVID-19 pandemic and associated crises and its implications for science education research and practice from a socio-political perspective. Taking the pandemic as a starting point – and understanding the pandemic as an event that exposes science-society relationships in their complexities –, this book sets provocations for the science education community, analyzing aspects of its practices, conceptualizations, aims, core values, research traditions, institutions, affectivities, and aesthetics from diverse points of view, and proposing new postures for the future of science education. Some central themes to science education research such as the concepts of scientific literacy and nature of science (among others) are revisited, and new perspectives related to affects, multiculturalism and the knowledge-power relationships are explored. This book brings together authors from diverse backgrounds, geographic origins, and academic trajectories, composing a truly international volume with a plurality of voices weaving a rich caleidoscope seeking to analyze science education's current state of affairs and propose diverse...
This book critically examines the COVID-19 pandemic and its legal and biological governance using a multidisciplinary approach. The perspectives reflected in this volume investigate the imbrications between technosphere and biosphere at social, economic, and political levels. The biolegal dimensions of our evolving understanding of “home” are analysed as the common thread linking the problem of zoonotic diseases and planetary health with that of geopolitics, biosecurity, bioeconomics and biophilosophies of the plant-animal-human interface. In doing so, the contributions collectively highlight the complexities, challenges, and opportunities for humanity, opening new perspectives on how to inhabit our shared planet. This volume will broadly appeal to scholars and students in anthropology, cultural and media studies, history, philosophy, political science and public health, sociology and science and technology studies.
