This textbook uses the `riddles' metaphor to introduce social analysis and to communicate the critical, questioning aspects of sociology which are at the heart of its tradition. The book teaches the student how to be aware of the social `riddles' around them and how to solve those riddles using sociological analysis. Case studies, in-depth social analysis, illustrations and discussion questions make it the perfect book for active learning

In reaction to the spread of globalization, recent years have seen considerable growth in the number of intentional communities established across the world. In this collection of articles and lectures, many of them previously unpublished in English, the author analyzes various aspects of the philosophy of the kibbutz and draws parallels with other societies and philosophical trends, in the hope that a close look at the ways of thought of the kibbutz - arguably the best-established communalist society - may help other communalists crystallize their own social philosophies. Utopian thought and

Due to the global health crisis, economies had to adapt to combat pandemic situations. In the present pandemic crisis, new legislation, methods, labor approaches, values, and social behaviors have emerged with a huge impact in all organizations. However, countries have applied different solutions, procedures, and rules to deal with crises. Therefore, the impact has been different per country. Organizations need to understand their customers and businesses not only to increase operational efficiency but also to increase stakeholder's satisfaction and their competitiveness in a sustainable way. Customers are becoming more exigent and markets more complex, calling for the need for higher differentiation. This was enhanced in this pandemic situation, and to survive, organizations needed to change and adapt to the new normal.The Handbook of Research on Reinventing Economies and Organizations Following a Global Health Crisis deals with management and economic issues, particularly with the reinvention of businesses and economies due to the pandemic situation and the relevance of entrepreneurship, innovation, and intensive knowledge used to deal with these changes. This book emphasizes the challenges, difficulties, and opportunities for the success of businesses and economies in periods of crisis and provides information for dealing with entrepreneurship and innovation, networks, and complementarities to recover businesses. The chapters also point out possible opportunities, challenges, and risks in the process of recovery highlighting innovation, internationalization, technology, and intensive knowledge in promoting economies and companies' competitiveness. This book is ideal for entrepreneurs, managers, economists, directors, shareholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in how businesses reinvent and recover following a global health crisis

Este libro complementa al ya publicado por el CSIC en 2008 (Justicia vindicatoria). El presente volumen trata de inventariar y definir las acciones y los procesos del ordenamiento vindicatorio. A tal fin, expone los fundamentos teóricos y metodológicos que lo permiten. Para sustentarlos, se tienen en cuenta tanto las aportaciones de la antropología social como las de la historia y teoría jurídicas. El autor se centra en demostrar cómo existe y se desarrolla un ordenamiento jurídico vindicatorio (no separado de la moral) que no es un pre-derecho o un germen de derecho según las teorías del progreso positivista del derecho. En este sentido, el obstáculo epistemológico más arraigado al que se enfrenta la tesis del libro es el reduccionismo del ámbito vindicatorio a la práctica de la venganza: una lectura atenta del legado revela un sistema más complejo, con otras acciones y procesos prelativos, más destacados.Este estudio muestra cómo el sistema vindicatorio cumple con los criterios de validez jurídica y eficacia social que se espera de un ordenamiento jurídico. Ello, a pesar de no contar con un Estado de Derecho. Porque los sistemas vindicatorios son los propios de las sociedades que denominamos primitivas, antiguas, medievales y de comunidades tradicionales relativamente aisladas del Estado

The ever-growing interest in the analysis of materiality has found its expression in many studies of objects and objecthood, of things and "thingness". Combining cultural, phenomenological, semiotic, and philosophical approaches, this collection of eleven essays proposes a journey into "the silent life of things", into those aspects of materiality that are not immediately visible and require both increased attention and a sense of intuition. It focuses on the subtle changes that materiality operates upon our subjectivity and upon our status as producers, users, possessors, negotiators and mani

La premiere section se rapporte a des espaces marginalises davantage que marginaux par eux-memes: les oasis (Aneghrif, Todgha, Figuig) et les montagnes (le Moyen Atlas). La deuxieme section aborde certains aspects des problemes de developpement economique et social que le Maroc doit affronter: une explosion demographie continue, des problemes nutritionnels, l'exode rural vers les grands villes et le probleme de la condition de la femme au Maroc. Face a toutes ces pressions sociales et economiques, l'action des pouvoirs publics est impliquee et des exposes sont consacres a l'etude des moyens d'encadrement et de planification du developpement qui sont mis en place dans les secteurs administratif, agricole, et urbain. La troisieme section se rapporte aux menaces sur les equilibres ecologiques induite par l'interference humaine. La quatrieme section aborde le theme du patrimoine culturel marocain relative a l'identite, a la socialisation, a l'expression religieuse. Enfin, la derniere section traite de quelques aspects anciens ou presents des relations maroco-allemandes (la langue allemande au Maroc, les migrations des travailleurs marocaines en R.F.A., quelques aspects historiques des rapports maroco-allemands).

The present investigation was designed to study the development of children's conceptions of family, in relation to cognitive and cultural aspects. Sixty Mexican children and 60 French children were sampled from primary government schools. Twenty subjects from first, third and sixth grade levels composed each experimental group. Children were presented with an interview including 9 questions exploring the following aspects: type of bonds that children recognize in the family group, types of groupings considered as families by children, elements that children include as part of the family group and certain parental roles. Results showed both age and cultural group differences. Children's conceptions are initially based on concrete and external aspects, while older children are more likely to employ abstract relational criteria for family definition. Nevertheless, complexity of children's answers was related both to cognitive level and cultural group of origin, since Mexican children's considerations about certain groupings as families, differed from French children's considerations for the same groupings. Results are discussed in terms of actual findings about social knowledge developmental levels, and the relation between social influences upon cognitive structures.

The research deals with diversity in organizations from different aspects and the factors that affect diversity management. The study also tries to find the safest ways to deal with diversity by managers. The research also deals with the diversity of the organization's culture, which plays a significant role in managing diversity and its importance. The focus has been on organizational culture more broadly and from different aspects so that the reader can understand it more clearly. The research also dealt with the positive and negative aspects of diversity in organizations and their impact on achieving its goals. The research deals with previous studies in the field of diversity that have effectively contributed to managing diversity in organizations and literary studies in a profound way that bridges the gaps that may cause deformation of the organization with a diverse staff.

Drawing on contemporary conflicts between Latino/as and anti-immigrant forces, Citizenship Excess illustrates the limitations of liberalism as expressed through U.S. media channels. Inspired by Latin American critical scholarship on the "coloniality of power," Amaya demonstrates that nativists use the privileges associated with citizenship to accumulate power. That power is deployed to aggressively shape politics, culture, and the law, effectively undermining Latino/as who are marked by the ethno-racial and linguistic difference that nativists love to hate. Yet these social characteristics present crucial challenges to the political, legal, and cultural practices that define citizenship. Amaya examines the role of ethnicity and language in shaping the mediated public sphere through cases ranging from the participation of Latino/as in the Iraqi war and pro-immigration reform marches to labor laws restricting Latino/a participation in English-language media and news coverage of undocumented immigrant detention centers. Citizenship Excess demonstrates that the evolution of the idea of citizenship in the United States and the political and cultural practices that define it are intricately intertwined with nativism

"The tangible value of increased water efficiency, reuse and recycling and improved social license to operate are moving more companies to adopt water stewardship strategies. This book frames an expanded strategy for water stewardship and business value creation, including brand value, that benefits a range of stakeholders including consumers, customers, investors and employees. The book shows that until recently the linkage between full business value and water stewardship has been missing from the corporate agenda. This linkage and value creation from a leading water strategy is increasingly important to socially responsible investors and "aspirationals" who value companies that have a social mission or focus to their overall business strategy. In general the largest portion of a company's market capitalization is intangible value and understanding how a water strategy contributes to this intangible value is essential. The authors include cases studies and a framework or path forward to guide companies as they seek to build leading water strategy that goes beyond water stewardship to drive full business value from this investment. The book establishes the linkages and value from an integrated water and business strategy and an approach for companies to follow."--Provided by publisher.
