This book accounts for the process of emergence and constitution of the human rights movement and discourse during the last military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983). Central to this account is the contention that the movement's emergence and constitution should not be understood as a necessary or as a natural response to the atrocities carried out by the last military regime, but instead as the result of a contingent process of political articulation and as a response which could have failed in its constitution and success.Thus, the appearance of the human rights movement and discourse in the country can only be …

Life is surprising- it's a bit like traveling through a deep, impenetrable forest where you can hardly see in front of your nose. Then, as you come round a bend, you suddenly see a mesmerizing landscape spread out before you. What's really interesting though, is that to see this vision you have to have first navigated through the dark forest with its never-ending series of twists and turns. I'm now at a point in my life where I've just gone round a particularly sharp bend and the forest has suddenly opened up into this incredible space which seems to go …

The Secret Sex of Money throws the spotlight on female forms of dependence such as Money, Sex, Power and Subordination. As has always been the case, economic independence is no guarantee of a woman’s autonomy. This book offers a lucid analysis of money from the Western perspective of relationships between women and men in the context of a patriarchal culture; relationships that are sometimes governed by power and domination, even in the innermost recesses of our daily lives. Clara Coria denounces the discrimination that women face in their acquisition, management and production …
The emerging field of psychosocial studies signifies a confluence of
disciplines for whom the fantasies, repressions and cultural practices
underlying national identity represents a crucial research focus. This book
presents a psychosocial portrayal of Brazil's arrival on the international
stage in the economic boom of the run-up to its hosting of the 2014 World Cup
and the 2016 Olympic Games. This former Portuguese colony is a country of
contradictions in need of a new image; a nation that needs to be able to both
love and sell itself in today's neo-liberal reality. It argues that a
contemporary representation of Brazilian subjectivity is best enabled through
an interdisciplinary perspective. Five …

This book aims to cover both the ontological determination and the characterization of what we call with terms such as disease and others related. The current edition is a more complete version of the first edition in Spanish that was published four years ago. In this edition, both semantic and gnoseological as well as ontological issues have been developed in more detail and depth. The foregoing is due to the fact that we could establish the meaning of the disease concept based on its explicit ontological reference, namely, the question about the existence of disease. Furthermore, to achieve that aim, …
The first quarter of the 15th century saw the start of the construction of this building, which has always been known as the Escuelas Mayores. In 1411, Cardinal Pedro de Luna, an enthusiastic supporter of the University, ordered its construction. A few years later, those involved began to buy up the houses that would eventually offer the space for our Studium. It is in fact surprising that although the University was founded in 1218 by Alfonso IX, two hundred years were to elapse before it was awarded its first premises since prior to that moment its teaching activities had been …
