Esta segunda edición del libro: El Ocaso de las Ciencias Sociales: Crítica Fundamentada a su Metodología, es una obra que que amplía e intenta mostrar los innumerables errores de esta metodología científica con respecto a sus enfoques y procederes. Es un libro que pretende poner a la luz procedimientos que van contra toda lógica y que, lejos de ayudar al avance de la ciencia, la laceran, provocando su estancamiento. Incluye un apartado acerca de lo que realmente es una Tesis desde el punto de vista de la dialéctica y retórica argumentativa, y no como actualmente son vistas. Es un libro incisivo, para analizar, con profundidad de pensamiento, reflexivo y muy crítico. Quizás hasta irónico, burlesco e intencionalmente grosero. Pero necesario. Donde, cada argumento a favor de la metodología social, va acompañado de un contra argumento. Cada evidencia de una contra evidencia. Y cada proceder, con una analogía acerca de lo que el autor considera, el correcto proceder.
"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 130 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 2001, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 2000. The subject categories for Volume 59 are as follows: Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences
Cuban Studies 41 includes essays on: the ideology behind United States foreign policy toward Cuba; a gendered study of Cubans who migrate to other countries; fifty years of Cuban medical diplomacy; the fifty-year relationship between Havana and Moscow, national cultural policy and the visual arts in the aftermath of the “Grey Years,” and a look at the global influence of Havana cigars.
Cuban Studies has been published annually by the University of Pittsburgh Press since 1985. Founded in 1970, it is the preeminent journal for scholarly work on Cuba. Each volume includes articles in both English and Spanish, a large book review section, and an exhaustive compilation of recent works in the field. This volume contains articles on economics, politics, racial and gender issues, and the exodus of Cuban Jewry in the early 1960s, among others.
This book explores the scope of reforms and changes in the social protection systems in Latin America that have started at the beginning of the 21st century. It describes how and to what extent changes in social protection systems and social policies have occurred in the region in recent decades. Taking a comparative approach, the volume identifies the triggers for the transformations and how such pressures are received by the welfare regime, or a specific policy sector, to finally yield a given type of reform. The analysis is characterized by the presence of certain factors that explain the development of social protection systems in Latin America, such as economic growth, the consolidation of democratic political regimes, and the region’s Left Turns. The book also examines to what extent common challenges and processes induced by international institutions have led to convergence among countries or welfare regimes, or whether each maintains its own identity.
Toward the end of this period, the analysis focuses on the important Indian uprisings of the 1780s (the rebellions of Tupac Amaru) and the causes of the alliances or confrontations between the members of the distinct bands, either white or Indian. These episodes are of particular interest because some aspects of the present guerrilla activity in Peru by the Shining Path can be seen in the insurrections of the 1780s.
La ciencia social no es mera observadora de la realidad. En sus operaciones descriptivas, interpretativas y explicativas, la ciencia está también realizando una labor productiva, en una doble dimensión: produce “hechos científicos”, configuraciones que la ciencia acepta, y produce “hechos sociales”, realidades externas a la ciencia, todo lo cual hace a través de un complejo entretejimiento de elementos, de un complejo ensamblaje. Esa es la perspectiva de análisis que se propone en este libro, el cual hace de tal ensamblaje su objeto de estudio.
