Book Description
En un panorama internacional de polarización creciente, el tradicional sistema de cooperación internacional que se despliega en el orden mundial, delineado por la hegemonía de los Estados Unidos y sus aliados occidentales desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX, parece entrar en competencia con un nuevo «régimen de cooperación Sur-Sur», impulsado por China en lo que va del siglo XXI. Ante ello, la cooperación internacional se enfrenta a la encrucijada de reorganizarse en un proceso reglobalizador que se vislumbra bajo liderazgo chino, frente a la posibilidad cada día más cierta de fragmentación del multilateralismo, de modo que la alternativa de cooperación que China propone se acabaría solapando con el orden liberal existente. La presente obra se ha realizado con el fin de reflexionar sobre este panorama de la encrucijada, en el que la cooperación internacional se tensa en el cuadro de la reglobalización versus el solapamiento de órdenes mundiales. Es el trabajo conjunto de académicos, provenientes de distintas instituciones latinoamericanas y europeas, con diversas perspectivas teóricas. Se trata del sexto libro de esta índole de la Red Iberoamericana Académica de Cooperación Internacional (RIACI), en conjunto con el Grupo de Investigación en Cooperación Sur-Sur e integraciones regionales de la Red Española de Estudios del Desarrollo (GICSS-REEDES), que se han venido publicando en coedición con el Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades «Alfonso Vélez Pliego» de la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (ICSyH-BUAP), México, y la Universidad de Cantabria (UC), España.

Museum Activism
Author: Robert R. Janes
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351251023
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 527
Book Description
Only a decade ago, the notion that museums, galleries and heritage organisations might engage in activist practice, with explicit intent to act upon inequalities, injustices and environmental crises, was met with scepticism and often derision. Seeking to purposefully bring about social change was viewed by many within and beyond the museum community as inappropriately political and antithetical to fundamental professional values. Today, although the idea remains controversial, the way we think about the roles and responsibilities of museums as knowledge based, social institutions is changing. Museum Activism examines the increasing significance of this activist trend in thinking and practice. At this crucial time in the evolution of museum thinking and practice, this ground-breaking volume brings together more than fifty contributors working across six continents to explore, analyse and critically reflect upon the museum’s relationship to activism. Including contributions from practitioners, artists, activists and researchers, this wide-ranging examination of new and divergent expressions of the inherent power of museums as forces for good, and as activists in civil society, aims to encourage further experimentation and enrich the debate in this nascent and uncertain field of museum practice. Museum Activism elucidates the largely untapped potential for museums as key intellectual and civic resources to address inequalities, injustice and environmental challenges. This makes the book essential reading for scholars and students of museum and heritage studies, gallery studies, arts and heritage management, and politics. It will be a source of inspiration to museum practitioners and museum leaders around the globe.
