Este libro reúne las aportaciones de investigadoras e investigadores que han abordado la compleja tarea de rastrear y visibilizar las experiencias de la disidencia sexual desde la guerra civil hasta la transición democrática, con base en una serie de archivos --estatales, internacionales, personales y de historias de vida-- que muestran tanto las violencias institucionales como el coraje, las formas de expresarse y las dinámicas sociales de las «locas». Con este último término hemos querido poner el acento en cómo las personas perseguidas se autopercibieron y crearon marcos culturales propios. Este volumen condensa los importantes logros que la ardua investigación de archivo ha conseguido en múltiples ámbitos territoriales, siendo, por tanto, lectura imprescindible para aquellas personas que se especialicen o que se adentren por primera vez en esta página crucial de nuestra historia como colectivo. A través del archivo de las locas, nos replanteamos el papel de la violencia estatal como eje articulador de esa historia, y recuperamos historias invisibilizadas de alegría, placer y resistencia

Like other cities on water, Tokyo and Venice are characterised by intrinsic fragility, resulting from the combined work of the continuous emergence of technological, economic, social, and environmental forces, which affect the urban structure and landscape. Their tangible and intangible (material and immaterial) heritage can play a fundamental role in both maintaining their peculiar maritime identity and defining a future vision for the city. Accordingly, this

"Comparing Income Distributions brings together John Creedy's recent original research and analyses of income distribution. The book is concerned with both static, or cross-sectional, comparisons, and dynamic aspects of income mobility. The author presents new methods of depicting and measuring income mobility and poverty persistence. Income mobility is explored in terms of individuals' relative income changes and their positional changes within the distribution. The first half of the book covers a range of technical aspects of inequality measurement, including less well-known properties of inequality indices, and the decomposition of inequality changes into component contributions. The second half explores various aspects of the graphical display and measurement of income mobility. While the focus of the book is on methods, illustrative examples are provided using New Zealand data. Graduate students, public sector economists, and researchers interested in income distribution will welcome this important work"--

Drawing on half a century of travel and thinking, this book tells the story of Europe since its emergence from wartime hell in 1945: how it slowly recovered and rebuilt, liberated and united to come close to the ideal of a 'Europe whole and free'. And then faltered. Timothy Garton Ash has spent a lifetime studying Europe. Highl ypersonal and deeply felt, this books is also full of vivid experiences, encounters and anecdotes: from his father's memories of D-Day to interviewing Polish dockers, Albanian guerrillas in the mountains of Kosovo, and angry teenagers in the poorest quarters of Paris, as well as advising political leaders in the UK, Europe and the US. Homelands is both a living, breathing history of a period of unprecedented progress and a clear-eyed account of how so much then went wrong, from the financial crisis of 2008 to the war in Ukraine. At its heart, this book is an urgent call to the citizens of this great old continent to understand and defend what we have collectively achieved.

"Once treated as the absence of knowledge, ignorance has now become a highly influential and rapidly growing topic in its own right. This new edition of the seminal text in the field is fully revised and includes new and expanded chapters on religion; domestic law and jurisprudence; sexuality and gender studies; memory studies; international relations; psychology; decision-theory; and colonial history. The study of ignorance has attracted growing attention across the natural and social sciences where a wide range of scholars explore the social life and political issues involved in the distribution and strategic use of not knowing. This handbook reflects the interdisciplinary field of ignorance studies by drawing contributions from economics, sociology, history, philosophy, cultural studies, anthropology, feminist studies, and related fields to serve as a path-breaking guide to the political, legal and social uses of ignorance in social and political life. This book will be indispensable for anyone seeking to understand the important role played by ignorance in contemporary society, culture and politics"--
