Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Benefactors
Languages : es
Pages : 504
Book Description
La polémica sobre el papel de la ciencia y la técnica española, conforman el núcleo importante de la exposición, dando respuesta al tópico según el cuál España no contribuyó en el desarrollo de la ciencia y la técnica del siglo XVIII. Y la respuesta es afirmativa, con una importante participación en numerosos campos, con relaciones y proyección internacional. El recorrido por el Muvim nos muestra las claves de una época de grandes cambios sociales, descubrimientos geográficos, revolución en las matemáticas, química, medicina, etc. Tiempos también de creación de las Reales Academias, el Jardín Botánico, el Observatorio Astronómico y las Sociedades Económicas de Amigos del Pais. Al mismo tiempo ven la luz diversos periódicos, libros, diccionarios, etc. También repasa los nombres de valencianos de primerísima fila, tales como, Jorge Juan, Cavanilles, Gabriel Ciscar y de otros, así como nos acerca a grandes expediciones científicas, como la del alicantino Malaespina. Podemos admirar también los corales del Museo de Ciencias Naturales, los cuales se encuentran en un espacio diseñado como gabinete de curiosidades. Otro espacio está integrado por los retratos o vestidos de la Familia Real, algunos de los cuales son obra de Maella o de Mengs.

The Dialectics of Citizenship
Author: Bernd Reiter
Publisher: MSU Press
ISBN: 1628951621
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
What does it mean to be a citizen? What impact does an active democracy have on its citizenry and why does it fail or succeed in fulfilling its promises? Most modern democracies seem unable to deliver the goods that citizens expect; many politicians seem to have given up on representing the wants and needs of those who elected them and are keener on representing themselves and their financial backers. What will it take to bring democracy back to its original promise of rule by the people? Bernd Reiter’s timely analysis reaches back to ancient Greece and the Roman Republic in search of answers. It examines the European medieval city republics, revolutionary France, and contemporary Brazil, Portugal, and Colombia. Through an innovative exploration of country cases, this study demonstrates that those who stand to lose something from true democracy tend to oppose it, making the genealogy of citizenship concurrent with that of exclusion. More often than not, exclusion leads to racialization, stigmatizing the excluded to justify their non-membership. Each case allows for different insights into the process of how citizenship is upheld and challenged. Together, the cases reveal how exclusive rights are constituted by contrasting members to non-members who in that very process become racialized others. The book provides an opportunity to understand the dynamics that weaken democracy so that they can be successfully addressed and overcome in the future.

Digital Roots
Author: Gabriele Balbi
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110740281
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
As media environments and communication practices evolve over time, so do theoretical concepts. This book analyzes some of the most well-known and fiercely discussed concepts of the digital age from a historical perspective, showing how many of them have pre-digital roots and how they have changed and still are constantly changing in the digital era. Written by leading authors in media and communication studies, the chapters historicize 16 concepts that have become central in the digital media literature, focusing on three main areas. The first part, Technologies and Connections, historicises concepts like network, media convergence, multimedia, interactivity and artificial intelligence. The second one is related to Agency and Politics and explores global governance, datafication, fake news, echo chambers, digital media activism. The last one, Users and Practices, is finally devoted to telepresence, digital loneliness, amateurism, user generated content, fandom and authenticity. The book aims to shed light on how concepts emerge and are co-shaped, circulated, used and reappropriated in different contexts. It argues for the need for a conceptual media and communication history that will reveal new developments without concealing continuities and it demonstrates how the analogue/digital dichotomy is often a misleading one.
