Poder evangélico

Poder evangélico

Autor: Ariel Goldstein

Número de Páginas: 146

Los grupos evangélicos tuvieron en los últimos años un crecimiento exponencial en todo el continente americano y lograron consolidarse como una nueva fuerza política y social. Entre sus miembros hay presidentes, ministros y ministras, diputados y diputadas, asesores y asesoras que ocupan puestos clave en los gobiernos de la región. Son dueños de grandes medios de comunicación, tienen una fuerte base territorial entre los sectores populares y obtienen muchos recursos del Estado, por eso, sus líderes son muy requeridos por aquellos políticos que tienen ambiciones de poder. Gobiernos con rasgos autoritarios en toda América, como el de Donald Trump, en Estados Unidos; Jair Bolsonaro, en Brasil; Jeanine Áñez, en Bolivia; Nicolás Maduro, en Venezuela, o Daniel Ortega, en Nicaragua, establecieron alianzas con los evangélicos para consolidar el poder. En Argentina, se declaran a favor de la "familia y los valores", se movilizan en contra de la legalización del aborto y hacen acuerdos con los grupos de derecha. Pero ¿quiénes son los evangélicos?, ¿en qué medida colaboran para la expansión de las fuerzas políticas autoritarias?, ¿cómo es que establecen alianzas con...

A Theory of Master Role Transition

A Theory of Master Role Transition

Autor: Feliciano De Sá Guimarães

Número de Páginas: 202

In this book, Feliciano de Sá Guimarães offers an original application of Role Theory. He proposes a theory of master role transitions to explain how small powers can change regional powers’ master roles without changing the regional material power distribution. Master role transition is the replacement of an active dominant master role by a dormant or inactive role located within one’s role repertoire. Guimarães argues that only a combination of four necessary conditions can produce a full master role transition: asymmetrical material interdependence, altercasting, domestic contestation and regional contestation. In each one of these conditions, a small power uses material and ideational tools to promote a master role transition within the regional power role repertoire. To test his model, Guimarães turns to five case studies in Latin America, Southern Africa and South Asia: the 2006–2007 Bolivia–Brazil gas crisis, the 2008–2009 Paraguay–Brazil Itaipú Dam crisis, the 2008–2009 Ecuador–Brazil Odebrecht crisis, the 1998 South Africa–Lesotho military intervention crisis and the 1996India–Bangladesh Ganges water crisis. A Theory of Master Role Transition is...

Madhouse at the End of the Earth

Autor: Julian Sancton

Número de Páginas: 401

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The “exquisitely researched and deeply engrossing” (The New York Times) true survival story of an early polar expedition that went terribly awry—with the ship frozen in ice and the crew trapped inside for the entire sunless, Antarctic winter “The energy of the narrative never flags. . . . Sancton has produced a thriller.”—The Wall Street Journal In August 1897, the young Belgian commandant Adrien de Gerlache set sail for a three-year expedition aboard the good ship Belgica with dreams of glory. His destination was the uncharted end of the earth: the icy continent of Antarctica. But de Gerlache’s plans to be first to the magnetic South Pole would swiftly go awry. After a series of costly setbacks, the commandant faced two bad options: turn back in defeat and spare his men the devastating Antarctic winter, or recklessly chase fame by sailing deeper into the freezing waters. De Gerlache sailed on, and soon the Belgica was stuck fast in the icy hold of the Bellingshausen Sea. When the sun set on the magnificent polar landscape one last time, the ship’s occupants were condemned to months of endless night. In the darkness, plagued by a...

Un manicomio en el fin del mundo

Un manicomio en el fin del mundo

Autor: Julian Sancton

Número de Páginas: 507

En agosto de 1897, el joven comandante belga Adrien de Gerlache partió para una expedición de tres años a bordo del barco Bélgica con sueños de gloria. Su destino era el extremo inexplorado de la Tierra: el continente helado de la Antártida. Pero los planes de Gerlache de ser el primero en llegar al Polo Sur magnético se torcerían rápidamente. Tras una serie de costosos contratiempos, el comandante se enfrentó a dos malas opciones: dar marcha atrás derrotado y evitar a sus hombres el devastador invierno antártico, o perseguir temerariamente la fama adentrándose en las gélidas aguas. De Gerlache siguió navegando y pronto el Bélgica quedó atrapado en las heladas aguas del mar de Bellingshausen. Cuando el sol se puso por última vez sobre el magnífico paisaje polar, los ocupantes del barco fueron condenados a meses de noche interminable. En la oscuridad, acosados por una misteriosa enfermedad y asediados por la monotonía, descendieron a la locura. En 'Manicomio del fin del mundo', Julian Sancton despliega una historia épica de aventuras y horror para la posteridad. Mientras los hombres de la Belgica se tambaleaban al borde del abismo, de Gerlache se apoyó cada...

Jóvenes, desigualdades y salud

Jóvenes, desigualdades y salud

Autor: Oriol Romaní , Lina Casadó

Número de Páginas: 390

Con este volumen se contribuye al debate en torno a la salud de los jóvenes, que es relevante dentro de las ciencias sociales en general y de la antropología médica en particular, debido a la cantidad de elementos distintos que están implicados en los procesos de salud, enfermedad y atención de las poblaciones jóvenes, y de las sofisticadas relaciones existentes entre ellos. Asimismo también es un debate relevante porque tiene implicaciones públicas: las políticas de salud de los jóvenes tienen que estar basadas menos en prejuicios, estigmas o alarmismos sociales mas o menos coyunturales, y mucho más en un conocimiento riguroso y situado de las tan distintas realidades que configuran el campo de relaciones entre salud y jóvenes.

Uma ciência da diferença

Uma ciência da diferença

Autor: Fabíola Rohden

Número de Páginas: 247

Leitura importante para os interessados nos estudos de gênero, toma como ponto de partida a medicina para discutir a dificuldade de se estabelecer diferenças sexuais. Evidencia-se a maneira com que os discursos médicos lidam com a diferença sexual, mas, ao mesmo tempo, admitem outros fatores, como raça, sexualidade, classe social e influência cultural. A autora utiliza um episódio médico-policial dos arquivos da Faculdade de Medicina do Rio de Janeiro que contém acusações de desvirtuamento da conduta feminina e prática de aborto para ressaltar o comportamento feminino esperado pela classe médica e pela sociedade. Este livro mostra o caminho trilhado pela classe médica para criar padrões de comportamento que distinguissem os gêneros, além de acompanhar o surgimento da especialidade médica voltada para o gênero feminino: a ginecologia.

Bolsonaro

Bolsonaro

Autor: Ariel Goldstein

Número de Páginas: 215

Lejos de representar un fenómeno imprevisible, el ascenso de Jair Bolsonaro se encuentra enraizado en la historia de Brasil. A su vez, lo precede el triunfo de Trump en Estados Unidos y las extremas derechas en Europa. Sin embargo, sus características son únicas y lo convierten en un fenómeno inédito, fruto de un electorado con un fuerte rechazo a la política a consecuencia de las graves denuncias de corrupción contra los gobiernos anteriores, desconfiado de los medios tradicionales y seducido por el estilo "políticamente incorrecto" del ex militar, que no duda en hacer declaraciones en defensa de la tortura, la pena de muerte, la homofobia, la misoginia y el racismo. Ariel Goldstein indaga en este libro, no solo en la actualidad del gigante tropical, sino también en su historia para comprender cómo un ex militar llegó al poder a través de las urnas y tras los masivos gobiernos del Partido de los Trabajadores. Y cómo su liderazgo puede afectar a toda la región.

Cauchemar au bout du monde

Cauchemar au bout du monde

Autor: Julian Sancton

Número de Páginas: 375

En août 1897, le jeune commandant belge Adrien de Gerlache a voulu être le premier à atteindre le pôle Sud magnétique. L’expédition qu’il a lancée a rapidement dû faire face à une invraisemblable succession de revers et de périls, chacun plus dangereux que le précédent. Coincé dans les glaces durant la longue nuit antarctique, l’équipage de son navire, la Belgica, a peu à peu perdu le contact avec la réalité. Ce récit témoigne de l’inventivité dont ont dû faire preuve les explorateurs, au nombre de qui figuraient les légendaires Frederick Cook et Roald Amundsen, pour traverser une période d’isolement inhumainement longue.
