Our society and culture is the one that dehumanizes women and devalues their quality, and causes them to think they are less human when it comes to female-gender. Women are always given a negative identity and treated less than humans in so many parts of the world. It will be an impossible task to try to list the amount of women that have been abused and murdered in our world today. Women are always seen as an instrument of abuse to be used and abandoned. Coming to our undeveloped society, where culture has discriminated against women and caused their rights …

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 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.

Europe is experiencing an unprecedented crisis and its fate hinges on its ability to find solutions. This crisis is not only economic but geostrategic, political and cultural. Economic, because Europe may stagnate and/or split up. Geostrategic, because it must identify its mission in the world and administer its borders with it. Political, because it has to improve both its ability to take action and the relationship between its civil society and its political sphere. Cultural, because it is difficult for a society uncertain of its own history to find its bearings; although it may get carried away by the pretence …

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 …

Of all pre-Hispanic cultures, the Maya have perhaps attracted the most attention on the part of archaeologists and historians.

This first volume in the series Discover the Maya World sheds light on the features that define and frame Mayanist studies, from the earliest examples onward, leading to a detailed analysis of the identity, architecture, …
