Tornarse negra, una conquista, fuerza femenina en los espacios colectivos, rituales y festivos
No full textThis chapter aims to share some reflections on the strength of black women. Which I have been building over the last 10 years, based on the pleasant approach to the Red de Mujeres del Norte del Cauca (Redmunorca), black feminist epistemologies and the recognition of my maternal/paternal peasant and Afro-indigenous ancestry linked to territory of Valle del Cauca and Cauca. I am based on the experience of accompanying Afro-descendant women and the return visits to the territory of Cauca - Colombia, during the years 2014 and 2015, within the framework of the research project Psychology and social peace initiatives in Colombia, of the PsicoPaz Research (2013- 2023). And also, in informal conversations with several of them between 2016 and 2024. I address the presence of feminine strength and the participation of black women in collective, ritual and festive spaces, as polyphonic expressions of resistance for transformation, collective action and spirituality/ancestry. I owe to this meeting the inspirations that mobilized this text that emerges to light today, to honor the ancestral black feminine strength.PublishedEl presente capítulo tiene como objetivo compartir algunas reflexiones sobre la fuerza de las mujeres negras. Las cuales vengo construyendo a lo largo de los últimos 10 años, a partir del grato acercamiento a la Red de Mujeres del Norte del Cauca (Redmunorca), a las epistemologías feministas negras y al reconocimiento de mi ancestralidad campesina y afroindígena materna/paterna ligada al territorio del Valle del Cauca y del Cauca. Me baso en la experiencia de acompañamiento de mujeres afrodescendientes y las revisitas al territorio del Cauca–Colombia, durante los años 2014 y 2015, en el marco del proyecto de investigación Psicología e iniciativas sociales de paz en Colombia, de la Investigación PsicoPaz (2013-2023). Y también en las conversaciones informales con varias de ellas entre 2016 y 2024. Abordo la presencia de la fuerza femenina y la participación de las mujeres negras en los espacios colectivos, rituales y festivos, como expresiones polifónicas de resistencia para la transformación, acción colectiva y espiritualidad/ancestralidad. A este encuentro le debo las inspiraciones que movilizaron este texto que hoy emerge a la luz, para honrar la fuerza femenina negra ancestral
Territorio laboral capitalista
No full textThis book uses territory as a gateway to understanding the form of class struggle in contemporary capitalism. Drawing on a critical account of authors in the Marxist tradition, such as Richards Edwards, Domingo Pérez Valenzuela analyzes the role that territory plays in class struggle, considering that every power relationship generates territoriality and that modern private enterprise, as a capitalist labor territory, is a fraction of geographic space where socio-material power relations between capital and labor emerge. Reviving Thompson and Briken's proposal not to separate political economy from labor relations, D. Pérez interweaves, throughout his reflection, the control of the labor process with territorial control, with the perspective of consolidating a geographic political economy of the labor process; a pending task, given that territorial control over the production process has been little studied
Resignificar la vida
No full textLa eugenesia esconde una zona gris que resulta conveniente para el relato de progreso, bienestar e integración que mueve al Estado nación de tradición liberal. Existe una continuidad temporal e histórica expresada en la plasticidad de una eugenesia que se despliega hasta nuestros días; diversificada en nuevos campos del saber y espacios del espectro social, propone un compromiso por el futuro de la humanidad a partir de nuevas disposiciones, imaginarios y expectativas. En Resignificar la vida. Críticas a las nuevas eugenesias en América Latina, Marcelo Sánchez Delgado reflexiona acerca de las formas adquiridas por la eugenesia en los campos científicos contemporáneos y en el discurso-práctica del poder sobre los actuales problemas sociales latinoamericanos. Su trabajo es un debate en torno de la continuidad eugenésica y la prolongación de estos discursos en el ámbito público. El autor discute la reactualización del paradigma eugénico observando su relación histórica; es decir, los contactos entre el pasado, el presente y la imaginación de un futuro desde los temas que surgen al hablar de las crisis de América Latina, como la criminalidad, las migraciones, el racismo, la salud mental, los roles de género, la falta de atención a la niñez y la desigualdad, entre otros

»Heroische Moderne«
No full textWar die Geschichte der »heroischen Moderne« im 20. Jahrhundert bloß eine des »Höllensturzes« und der »Bloodlands« oder auch eine der erfolgreichen Demokratien und Sozialstaaten? Und wer waren die Heroen dieser Moderne – Dezisionisten, die disruptiv eine neue Welt erzwingen wollten, oder Sozialingenieure, die soziale Gemeinschaft von unten aufbauten? Thomas Etzemüller beschreibt Versuche, in einer wirren, unsicheren Epoche Ordnung zu schaffen, und analysiert dazu konstruktive Experten, die diagnostizierten und justierten, statt mit großer Geste abzuräumen. Dabei zeigt er: Ihr Wirken war zutiefst ambivalent, denn Gemeinschaft durch Inklusion bedeutete auch den Ausschluss »untauglicher« Menschen

Pharmacovigilance
No full textPharmacovigilance or drug safety may be defined as a science that relates to the "collection, detection, assessment, monitoring, and prevention" of side/adverse effects of drugs. It is also essential to monitor for adverse effects even after a drug or therapy has been on the market for some time, as new ones may emerge. This book addresses several fundamental issues in three major sections well-presented in easy-to-understand formats. The authors of this book contributed the latest research, and each chapter has been reviewed and updated to enhance the book's educational value, clarity, and readability
Entre désir et devoir
No full textQue nous soyons des êtres moraux, l’histoire du monde permet certes d’en douter. Mais l’homme n’est moral que parce qu’il peut se montrer immoral ; et c’est parce qu’il peut se montrer immoral qu’existent les questions et les problèmes dont traite la philosophie morale. Aussi ces deux visages de notre humanité ne sont-ils jamais séparés dans le présent ouvrage. Ils expliquent la corde tendue en lui entre désir et devoir. Les dix leçons qui le composent manifestent diversement cette tension. Les quatre premières relient les concepts fondamentaux de la morale. Les trois suivantes posent des questions vives : peut-on vouloir le mal ? peut-on réparer toutes les injustices ? peut-on donner sans retour ? Les trois dernières s’attachent à des problèmes plus généraux, tels ceux du fondement de la morale ou des limites de l’action. Toutes cependant reviennent à la même interrogation : qu’est-ce que l’homme ? Car il est le seul être qui s’inquiète de la manière dont il doit conduire sa vie pour honorer l’espèce à laquelle il appartient – bien qu’il puisse aussi étouffer dans sa personne cette inquiétude même
Chapter 2 Ascriptivism, life forms, and recognition. On the social constitution of normativity
No full textThis volume explores the importance of constitutivism for legal studies. Constitutivism is the view that the normative force, or authority, of practical reasons is grounded in principles, capacities, aims, or functions that are essential to, and thus constitutive of, agency. While the implications that the constitutivist approach has on the fundamental metaethical disputes and central ethical debates have been extensively explored, the literature on the relations between constitutivism and law remains scarce, unsystematic, and sporadic. This collection brings together world-renowned practical philosophers and legal theorists to fill a noticeable gap in the literature. The authors systematically and innovatively address key dimensions of the relationships between constitutivism and the theoretical study of law, as well as programmatically offering novel insights into the conceptual connections between constitutivist claims, fundamental legal concepts and practices, legal issues, and, ultimately, the law as a distinctive concept. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of Legal Philosophy, Legal Theory, Jurisprudence, Moral Philosophy and Metaethics
Translating and Receiving Korean Media
No full textIn recent years, Korean culture has been incredibly successful internationally, from the films of auteur directors like Bong Joon-Ho (Parasite) to shows like Squid Game and K-pop music. At the same time, media from the UK has also been successful in South Korea, with popular shows such as Killing Eve and Life on Mars. Written by scholars working across translation studies, film and media studies, this volume examines the ways in which Korean media has been received and translated in the UK, as well as how British media has fared in South Korea. Case studies explore how Korean media is (re)packaged and categorised for a Western audience, and how paratextual material (trailers, adverts, fan reactions) mediates films and shows for international audiences. The book also examines how the Korean remake of Life on Mars localises the British show, how Squid Game has been audio-described, and how slower media models can suggest more sustainable forms of consumption and distribution. Demonstrating how interdisciplinary research can shed light on different aspects of global media culture, this volume will be essential reading for scholars and students working on the translation and international media circulation. It will especially appeal to readers interested in the interactions between British and Korean media.
