La autora de este libro realiza un anlisis de la reforma universitaria. El estudio, aun cuando se limita a una sola universidad pblica, permite ejemplificar el contexto en el cual las universidades pblicas de Mxico realizaron los procesos de cambio. Transformaciones o innovaciones, que en el transcurso del tiempo se duda de si realmente ocurri tal reforma. La Universidad Autnoma de Nayarit realiz una reforma desde el ao 2000 y a la fecha es conveniente analizar si mantiene, recupera, o pierde los valores fundamentales de la educacin pblica. Valores expresados en el proyecto original de la institucin, valores que mantienen su carcter social, regional y que le dan vida, sentido y contenido a su misin y visin a esto la autora llama sentido propio. El trabajo de anlisis proviene de instrumentos concretos de observacin que hacen referencia a un marco macro terico e histrico, es decir, desde la amplia arena donde se debaten los proyectos educativos nacionales, donde sobresale la disputa entre dos modelos de Universidad Pblica: la que intenta imponer las polticas federales de la economa neoliberal, que llama empresarial, y la que se encuentra plasmada en el artculo 3ero. Constitucional que toma forma en la Universidad pblica y que la autora llama acadmico. Aqu se presentan las ideas, actitudes, experiencias e interpretaciones, de los actores principales del proceso de reforma universitaria y pretende contribuir al entendimiento del debate en la que estn envueltas las universidades mexicanas. Tambin se presentan algunas propuestas que contienen el ethos universitario y hasta una denuncia de las perversiones o desviaciones en las que se han instalado algunos modelos aplicados en las diversas experiencias universitarias.
A historical study of Chile's twin experiments with cybernetics and socialism, and what they tell us about the relationship of technology and politics. In Cybernetic Revolutionaries, Eden Medina tells the history of two intersecting utopian visions, one political and one technological. The first was Chile's experiment with peaceful socialist change under Salvador Allende; the second was the simultaneous attempt to build a computer system that would manage Chile's economy. Neither vision was fully realized—Allende's government ended with a violent military coup; the system, known as Project Cybersyn, was never completely implemented—but they hold lessons for today about the relationship between technology and politics. Drawing on extensive archival material and interviews, Medina examines the cybernetic system envisioned by the Chilean government—which was to feature holistic system design, decentralized management, human-computer interaction, a national telex network, near real-time control of the growing industrial sector, and modeling the behavior of dynamic systems. She also describes, and documents with photographs, the network's Star Trek-like operations room, which featured swivel chairs with armrest control panels, a wall of screens displaying data, and flashing red lights to indicate economic emergencies. Studying project Cybersyn today helps us understand not only the technological ambitions of a government in the midst of political change but also the limitations of the Chilean revolution. This history further shows how human attempts to combine the political and the technological with the goal of creating a more just society can open new technological, intellectual, and political possibilities. Technologies, Medina writes, are historical texts; when we read them we are reading history.

The central figure of this novel is a young man whose parents were executed for conspiring to steal atomic secrets for Russia. His name is Daniel Isaacson, and as the story opens, his parents have been dead for many years. He has had a long time to adjust to their deaths. He has not adjusted. Out of the shambles of his childhood, he has constructed a new life—marriage to an adoring girl who gives him a son of his own, and a career in scholarship. It is a life that enrages him. In the silence of the library at Columbia University, where he is supposedly writing a Ph.D. dissertation, Daniel composes something quite different. It is a confession of his most intimate relationships—with his wife, his foster parents, and his kid sister Susan, whose own radicalism so reproaches him. It is a book of memories: riding a bus with his parents to the ill-fated Paul Robeson concert in Peekskill; watching the FBI take his father away; appearing with Susan at rallies protesting their parents’ innocence; visiting his mother and father in the Death House. It is a book of investigation: transcribing Daniel’s interviews with people who knew his parents, or who knew about them; and logging his strange researches and discoveries in the library stacks. It is a book of judgments of everyone involved in the case—lawyers, police, informers, friends, and the Isaacson family itself. It is a book rich in characters, from elderly grand- mothers of immigrant culture, to covert radicals of the McCarthy era, to hippie marchers on the Pen-tagon. It is a book that spans the quarter-century of American life since World War II. It is a book about the nature of Left politics in this country—its sacrificial rites, its peculiar cruelties, its humility, its bitterness. It is a book about some of the beautiful and terrible feelings of childhood. It is about the nature of guilt and innocence, and about the relations of people to nations. It is The Book of Daniel.
