Book Description
Bienvenido: Has llegado justo al lugar indicado para encontrar historias, leyendas, mitos, anécdotas y realidades, entre otros temas, envueltos en sonetos y melodías. Se podría decir que has comprado dos libros por el precio de uno. Son dos autores de dos generaciones distintas - viviendo en el mismo tiempo - escribiendo sus distintas memorias, para formar una misma utopía. Lo que hace aún más interesante a este libro está en el hecho de que estos dos trovadores con el mismo nombre son una dinastía en acción. Es decir, los autores son: ¡padre e hijo! El cantautor y escritor de varios libros de poesía, Jaime Paredes, se une a el Sr. Otto Jaime Paredes González (escritor de varios libros de auto-superación, compositor de varios temas internacionalmente conocidos, productor, y empresario) para darle vida a la esencia de las prosas en un mismo libro, que deja su huella en la infinita biblioteca de la literatura. Este libro está dividido en tan sólo dos capítulos. El primero, inicia con los primeros 50 poemas y el principio de la utopía del poeta, Otto Jaime Paredes González (padre). Y en el segundo capítulo te encontrarás con los siguientes 50 poemas y la utopía en su totalidad del poeta, Otto Jaime Paredes López, (hijo). Espero disfrutes este libro, diviértete al máximo... y al final, comparte estos cien poemas.... ¡que ruede la utopía! ¡Bienvenido!

An American Utopia
Author: Fredric Jameson
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1784784540
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Controversial manifesto by acclaimed cultural theorist debated by leading writers Fredric Jameson’s pathbreaking essay “An American Utopia” radically questions standard leftist notions of what constitutes an emancipated society. Advocated here are—among other things—universal conscription, the full acknowledgment of envy and resentment as a fundamental challenge to any communist society, and the acceptance that the division between work and leisure cannot be overcome. To create a new world, we must first change the way we envision the world. Jameson’s text is ideally placed to trigger a debate on the alternatives to global capitalism. In addition to Jameson’s essay, the volume includes responses from philosophers and political and cultural analysts, as well as an epilogue from Jameson himself. Many will be appalled at what they will encounter in these pages—there will be blood! But perhaps one has to spill such (ideological) blood to give the Left a chance. Contributing are Kim Stanley Robinson, Jodi Dean, Saroj Giri, Agon Hamza, Kojin Karatani, Frank Ruda, Alberto Toscano, Kathi Weeks, and Slavoj Žižek.

The Epistemology of Utopia
Author: Jorge Bastos da Silva
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443848905
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
The emergence of Utopian Studies as a dynamic field of inquiry situated at the crossroads of several disciplines is a striking development of the past few decades. It is symptomatic of a general trend towards the overcoming of epistemological and institutional boundaries, and has borne fruit in a number of ways. The traditions of utopianism have come to be valued as an important nurturing of possibilities, devoted to the critique and the transformation of the world. By undertaking the critical interrogation of the given, utopia is a figure not only of inversion, but of transcendence and fulfilment. The present volume takes into account the international development of Utopian Studies in recent decades. Its aim is to provide critical revisions (revisitings) of the assumptions and methods of the discipline through a set of theoretically-informed essays that focus on a number of different manifestations of utopianism. The topics covered range from Plato’s Republic and More’s Utopia to modern-day cosmopolitics, “glocalization”, and the intersections of fiction with esotericism and science.

Labour Law Utopias
Author: Nicolas Bueno
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198889801
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Labour Law Utopias: Post-Growth & Post-Productive Work Approaches engages with new socioeconomic ideas that look beyond the current growth-driven competitive market economy. Building on analysis of economic growth, as well as the limits of the logic of human productivity and competitivity for workers and the environment, it explores alternative approaches and what those will mean for work in general, and labour law in particular. The concept of 'post-growth' is used to rethink the purpose of the economy by looking beyond merely increasing wealth, consumption, and production, considering what this means for the position of work in society as well as the individual worker. The post-productive work approach is used to question the centrality of economically productive work and its regulation in labour laws. The chapters in this book take a progressive approach and discuss whether and how labour law can contribute to the emancipation of work from the constraints of growth and productivity by revisiting the value, organization, and impact of work. With these utopian ideas for labour law, the contributions in this book present inspirational 'dots on the horizon' that could guide the direction of changes in labour law as it navigates issues such as the implementation of digital and green solutions, the energy crisis, migration, rising inequality, and precariousness. This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on Oxford Academic and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.

Utopia(s) - Worlds and Frontiers of the Imaginary
Author: Maria Rosário Monteiro
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351966839
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
The idea of Utopia springs from a natural desire of transformation, of evolution pertaining to humankind and, therefore, one can find expressions of “utopian” desire in every civilization. Having to do explicitly with human condition, Utopia accompanies closely cultural evolution, almost as a symbiotic organism. Maintaining its roots deeply attached to ancient myths, utopian expression followed, and sometimes preceded cultural transformation. Through the next almost five hundred pages (virtually one for each year since Utopia was published) researchers in the fields of Architecture and Urbanism, Arts and Humanities present the results of their studies within the different areas of expertise under the umbrella of Utopia. Past, present, and future come together in one book. They do not offer their readers any golden key. Many questions will remain unanswered, as they should. The texts presented in Proportion Harmonies and Identities - UTOPIA(S) WORLDS AND FRONTIERS OF THE IMAGINARY were compiled with the intent to establish a platform for the presentation, interaction and dissemination of researches. It aims also to foster the awareness and discussion on the topics of Harmony and Proportion with a focus on different utopian visions and readings relevant to the arts, sciences and humanities and their importance and benefits for the community at large.

The Sociology of Zygmunt Bauman
Author: Michael Hviid Jacobsen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317015215
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Zygmunt Bauman is one of the most inspirational and controversial thinkers on the scene of contemporary sociology. For several decades he has provided compelling analyses and diagnoses of a vast variety of aspects of modern and liquid modern living. This book considers the theoretical significance of his contribution to sociology, but also discusses and adopts a critical stance towards his work. The Sociology of Zygmunt Bauman introduces and critically appraises some of the most significant as well as some of the lesser known of Bauman's contributions to contemporary sociology. An international team of scholars delineates and discusses how Bauman's treatment of these themes challenges conventional wisdom in sociology, thereby revising and revitalizing sociological theory. As a special feature, the book concludes with Bauman's intriguing reflections and contemplations on his own life and intellectual trajectory, published here for the first time in English. In this postscript aptly entitled 'Pro Domo Sua' ('About Myself'), he describes the pushes and pulls that throughout the years have shaped his thinking.

Applied Theatre: A Pedagogy of Utopia
Author: Selina Busby
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350086169
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Shortlisted for the 2022 TaPRA David Bradby Monograph Prize Applied Theatre is a widely accepted term to describe a set of practices that encompass community, social and participatory theatre making. It is an area of performance practice that is flourishing across global contexts and communities. However, this proliferation is not unproblematic. A Pedagogy of Utopia offers a critical consideration of long-term applied and participatory theatre projects. In doing so, it provides a timely analysis of some of the concepts that inform applied theatre and outlines a new way of thinking about making theatre with differing groups of participants. The book problematizes some key concepts including safe spaces, voice, ethical practice and resistance. Selina Busby analyses applied theatre projects in India, the USA and the UK, in youth theatres, homeless shelters, prisons and with those living in informal housing settlements to consider her key question: What might a pedagogy of utopia look like? Drawing on 20-years of practice in a range of contexts, this book focuses on long-term interventions that raise troubling questions about applied theatre, cultural colonialism and power, while arguing that community or participatory theatre conversely has the potential to generate a resilient sense of optimism, or what Busby terms, a 'nebulous utopia'.
