Book Description
La investigación social forma hoy parte de nuestra vida cotidiana. A partir de ella sabemos qué piensa la gente sobre diferentes temas: nos informamos de las tendencias de consumo, sobre la situación de los colectivos que nos rodean, la intención de voto o sobre los problemas que más preocupan a la población. Su presencia en la sociedad ha crecido exponencialmente de acuerdo con el desarrollo social y el crecimiento de los mercados. La construcción de la investigación social ha respondido a un proceso de unión de materias, conceptos y herramientas que se han ido incorporando a la disciplina en la medida en que el análisis y estudio de la sociedad han ido encontrado nuevos retos. La Psicología, la Antropología, la Sociología y la Economía, la Estadística, la Matemática y la Filosofía, por citar algunas de las fundamentales, son las materias de las que se ha nutrido. El proceso de adopción de materias científicamente consolidadas en beneficio de una única disciplina, no han surgido de la noche a la mañana sino que forma parte de la evolución y el desarrollo histórico. Las Ciencias Sociales requerían de un método propio de trabajo que ayudara a conocer las formas de vida, las problemáticas, los intercambios y movimientos, la visión, las expectativas y los deseos de la sociedad. La aplicación de la investigación social al mundo empresarial, al análisis del mercado y de sus actores, trajo finalmente la denominada investigación social y de mercado, con todas las especializaciones y características que hoy la definen. La intención de este libro es hacer un breve recorrido por aquellos hitos históricos que han contribuido a la formación, especialización y consolidación de la investigación social, convirtiéndola en una ciencia autónoma con una demostrada efectividad en el mundo empresarial, político y social.

A History of Spanish Institutions
Author: Baumert, Thomas
Publisher: ESIC
ISBN: 8417914900
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Institutions and their history matter; and not only because they are crucial elements in explaining a country’s socio-political evolution, but also as determinant factors of economic development, wealth and prosperity. Usually, the history of institutions has been taught the point of view of legal science, an approach that made the topic little attractive and often difficult to assimilate for students of other fields such as Economics, Business Studies, Marketing and others. And precisely these groups are the ones that this book addresses. It presents, in a rigorous yet entertaining way the evolution of Spanish institutions the first human settlements in the peninsula to date and does so explaining the main points in a succinct, but well-contextualised form. For this purpose, each chapter combines the exposition of a given period’s historic facts with the description of its most characteristic institutions. Each chapter then complements its content by explaining the history of one notable symbol of Spain (its flag, the different coat of arms, feasts, orders, etcetera). This modular structure, together with the presentation of the information according to its degree of relevance, allows readers — depending on their specific interests and needs—, to adapt and combine the texts that compose this book as to optimise the results of their study. “The modern didactic approach followed by the authors, their understanding of institutions in a broader sense than usual, the extraordinary work of synthesis […] has produced a basic tool for the study of this subject, one that will give students fruitful results, even if they have very heterogeneous backgrounds in Spanish history.” Esther Valbuena

Medellín: environment urbanism society
Author: Michel Hermelin Arbaux
Publisher: Universidad EAFIT
ISBN: 9587201140
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
In recent times what has become known as "the case of Medellín " has generated a growing interest in the international community. These urban transformation that Medellín has experimented have become a focus of attention and reference for experts in many fields, around the world. The book ́Medellin: Environment, Urbanism and Society ́, that now published the Center for Urban and Environmental Studies, Urbam, of EAFIT University is a testimony of the value given by our culture to the accomplishments of the city, to the idea of the public sphere and the growing relationship between the technical sphere and the political sphere, understood in the broad sense as a form of disciplinary knowledge and construction of civil society. This book brings together a knowledge of the city from multiple perspectives; knowledge that is, without any doubt, impressive for its extension and profoundity, as well as for its capacity to combine objective data with conceptual reflections about the scope and impact of the different perspectives concerning the theme of urban transformation and the different actors that have participated in such processes. The book weaves a broad net over the city, its history and development, adopting a multidisciplinary vision. I think that this will be the first step in creating a speech that might finally liberate itself from the strict disciplinary boundaries, building a trans-disciplinary perspective that can amplify the urban dimension of the city. This is the beginning of a profound and complex reflection that is, at the same time, a project of knowledge and an instrument of action and participation.

Cruelty and Utopia
Author: Jean-François Lejeune
Publisher: Princeton Architectural Press
ISBN: 1568984898
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
This landmark collection of illustrated essays explores the vastly underappreciated history of America's other cities -- the great metropolises found south of our borders in Central and South America. Buenos Aires, So Paulo, Mexico City, Caracas, Havana, Santiago, Rio, Tijuana, and Quito are just some of the subjects of this diverse collection. How have desires to create modern societies shaped these cities, leading to both architectural masterworks (by the likes of Luis Barragn, Juan O'Gorman, Lcio Costa, Roberto Burle Marx, Carlos Ral Villanueva, and Lina Bo Bardi) and the most shocking favelas? How have they grappled with concepts of national identity, their colonial history, and the continued demands of a globalized economy? Lavishly illustrated, Cruelty and Utopia features the work of such leading scholars as Carlos Fuentes, Edward Burian, Lauro Cavalcanti, Fernando Oayrzn, Roberto Segre, and Eduardo Subirats, along with artwork ranging from colonial paintings to stills from Chantal Akerman's film From the Other Side. Also included is a revised translation of Spanish King Philip II's influential planning treatise of 1573, the "Laws of the Indies," which did so much to define the form of the Latin American city.

World Anthropologies
Author: Gustavo Lins Ribeiro
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000184498
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Mahatma Gandhi
Author: Dennis Dalton
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231530390
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.
