A través de las siguientes páginas varios profesores desde distintas ramas del saber proponen en sus capítulos distintas concreciones metodológicas en torno al Arte como elemento justificativo de un acercamiento diferente desde perspectivas interdisciplinares. Si bien éste es el objetivo, sin embargo, su elaboración conlleva necesariamente una metodología que encuentra su raíz en la experiencia investigadora, de modo que la propuesta docente resultante es el producto de una labor científica con su propia sistemática, implícita en todos los capítulos aquí presentados. Resulta ser ésta una metodología que reclama un esfuerzo doble, pues para su desarrollo la labor docente exige también una mirada específica sobre cada obra de arte. El propósito del método que se plantea aquí es múltiple. Entre sus beneficios finales hay que contar con un enriquecimiento cultural, que no es mensurable. Igualmente estimula notablemente el interés del estudiante a través de una versátil aproximación al conocimiento que, sin duda, fomenta la conformación de un espíritu crítico. Interesa destacar que el libro en su conjunto constituye una obra multidisciplinar, en la que diversas manifestaciones artísticas son utilizadas como soporte para distintos análisis. Un elenco de los elementos que se han tomado como objeto de tratamiento revela su gran diversidad: películas, obras literarias, pintura y escultura, objetos arqueológicos. Todos los trabajos responden a una serie de criterios que se acordaron para dotar de una cierta unidad a la variedad de disciplinas, de enfoques y de perfiles de los investigadores y docentes. Estos parámetros metodológicos análogos plantean una doble experiencia: en primer lugar, vivenciar la riqueza que aporta el empleo del Arte desde su amplio espectro formativo y, en segundo lugar, estimular el interés a través del eficaz uso del método socrático. En general, responden los presentes trabajos a una estructura básica muy sencilla: una introducción sobre el tema central que se va a abordar, apoyándose en la obra escogida, que será objeto de la oportuna presentación. Los capítulos continúan con una exposición de los cuestionarios que se sugieren para el trabajo con los estudiantes. Y, por último, algunos de ellos ofrecen unas respuestas orientativas, que han de servir como expresión de esa labor que une la investigación con el trabajo en el aula. Centrado el planteamiento general en fomentar una actitud activa y en despertar la curiosidad, la estructura de los trabajos se advierte que descansa en el método socrático, por el cual los autores ofrecen el precitado repertorio de preguntas que actúa como una guía, estimulando y contribuyendo a focalizar en los aspectos más significativos en los que el estudiante debe reparar. Y, finalmente, se ofrece una relación bibliográfica básica referencial con un objetivo circunscrito aquí a la docencia.
"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 140 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 2000, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 1999. The subject categories for Volume 61 are as follows: AnthropologyEconomicsGeographyGovernment and PoliticsPolitical EconomyInternational RelationsSociology
Cultural competence in education promotes civic engagement among students. Providing students with educational opportunities to understand various cultural and political perspectives allows for higher cultural competence and a greater understanding of civic engagement for those students. The Handbook of Research on Citizenship and Heritage Education is a critical scholarly book that provides relevant and current research on citizenship and heritage education aimed at promoting active participation and the transformation of society. Readers will come to understand the role of heritage as a symbolic identity source that facilitates the understanding of the present and the past, highlighting the value of teaching. Additionally, it offers a source for the design of didactic proposals that promote active participation and the critical conservation of heritage. Featuring a range of topics such as educational policy, curriculum design, and political science, this book is ideal for educators, academicians, administrators, political scientists, policymakers, researchers, and students.
Women and Travel: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives is a fascinating look at the behavior, motivations, experiences, and needs of women as tourists and travellers, drawing on both historic and contemporary eras. Surprisingly little research has explored key issues, experiences, and opportunities in the context of women’s travel. This revealing volume fills this gap, exploring the discourses, debates, and discussions about women, travel, and tourism. With an international roster of contributors from diverse regions of the world, the book celebrates a variety of women’s voices. Khoo-Lattimore and Wilson deliberately sought to include nontraditional and non-Western perspectives on women’s travel, with inclusions of Asian solo female travelers; Islamic women travellers and the constraints placed on them; and women who cannot travel (or choose, for whatever reason, a ‘home holiday’). This enlightening volume brings together scholars from the broad areas of tourism, hospitality, geography, and leisure studies to examine how and why women travel. The chapters bring light to perspectives from different countries, cultures, backgrounds, and religions, and utilize different methods, approaches and styles of presentation. Women and Travel: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives will be of interest to academics and graduate students from a range of disciplines, including tourism, leisure studies, sociology, cultural geography, anthropology, feminist and gender studies, business, economics and management; as well as professionals working in the tourism industry, particularly those with an interest in niche markets and segmentation.
The new human development paradigm rests on the human and cultural capital of peoples and revolves around the challenge of increasing the well-being and happiness of people. Therefore, leisure understood in today’s societies as one of the key means to feel good, satisfied with life and reaffirmed in the pursuit of a meaning for life, seems to be ultimately called to play a key role in promoting human development processes. The contents of this book are a good proof of it. Each chapter focuses on a different approach, discipline or group and highlights the potential of leisure experiences for human development. This book is an invitation to reflection and thought on issues that, far from being irrelevant, have a bearing on people's future, in terms of happiness, well-being and quality of life. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that future leisure develops under the guidelines of a leisure that contributes to human development.
In his latest book, James Elkins offers a road map through the field of visual studies, describing its major concerns and its principal theoretical sources. Then, with the skill and insight that have marked his successful books on art and visuality, Elkins takes the reader down a side road where visual studies can become a more interesting place. Why look only at the same handful of theorists? Why exclude from one's field of vision non-Western art or the wealth of scientific images?
Three sociologists from the University of Barcelona set out not the theories they like best, but the ones that are most used, and most referred to in contemporary sociological practice. They write primarily for students of sociology, but also, they say, for social activists involved in daily struggle. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
