"Esta antología recoge más de una veintena de textos que recuperan los hitos de la obra del renombrado historiador uruguayo Gerardo Caetano. Repasar su trayectoria supone un recorrido por la historia uruguaya más reciente entre dos siglos, en particular los años finales de la dictadura, la recuperación de las libertades públicas y el desarrollo democrático. Los textos se organizan en cinco secciones que identifican los ejes fundamentales de un trabajo de más de cuatro décadas: la historia política uruguaya; la preocupación por las tensiones que nutren las identidades y la cuestión de los derechos; los avatares de la integración y del regionalismo en América Latina; la visión sobre personalidades de distintos ámbitos y épocas; y la dialéctica entre democracia y política en América Latina. Con aportes que dan cuenta de la calidad y el lenguaje preciso en sus formulaciones, el respaldo profuso de documentación y datos estadísticos, y la agudeza predominante en sus puntos de vista, Caetano ha delineado el nítido perfil de una personalidad multifacética, de notoriedad gravitante en el marco de un valioso plantel de historiadores, politólogos y científicos sociales contemporáneos con los que interactúa apostando en forma permanente a la exploración interpretativa conjunta del Uruguay, la región y el mundo que nos rodea." --

"Drawing on a range of theoretical and empirical perspectives, this volume examines the roles strategic communications plays in creating social media messaging campaigns designed to engage in digital activism. As social activism and engagement continues to rise, individuals have an opportunity to use their agency as creators and consumers to explore issues of identity, diversity, justice, and action through digital activism. This edited volume situates activism and social justice historically and draws parallels to the work of activists in today's social movements such as modern-day feminism, Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, Missing Murdered Indigenous Women, and We Are All Khaled Said. Each chapter adds an additional filter of nuance, building a complete account of mounting issues through social media movements and at the same time scaffolding the complicated nature of digital collective action. The book will be a useful supplement to courses in public relations, journalism, social media, sociology, political science, diversity, digital activism, and mass communication at both the undergraduate and graduate level"--

"This collection contributes to emerging work in critical sociolinguistics, using a multidisciplinary and multi-scalar approach to understanding the diasporic experience in the Russian-speaking world. The volume expands on research in the sociolinguistics of mobility, multilingualism, and diaspora studies. It critically examines the ways in which transnational Russian identities are perceived and discursively enacted in online and offline spaces, and how this interplay contributes to diasporic identification across the globe. In highlighting a range of critical methodologies at multiple scalar levels - across family, national, and global lines - the book raises key questions about what binds and distinguishes individuals belonging to diverse communities of Russian speakers. It likewise interrogates established notions of memory, nostalgia, authenticity, and belonging, as well as perceptions of futurity and change. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars in sociolinguistics, multilingualism, language and education, and linguistic anthropology"--

"Black Power, Jewish Politics expands with this revised edition that includes the controversial new preface, an additional chapter connecting the book's themes to the national reckoning on race, and a foreword by Jews of Color Initiative founder Ilana Kaufman that all reflect on Blacks, Jews, race, white supremacy, and the civil rights movement"--

5784 Jahre Denkgeschichte für die Zukunft - Shitstorms, Sex, Selbstbestimmung - ein ungewöhnlicher Blick auf aktuelle Themen: Wenn es heute um jüdisches Leben geht, dreht sich die Diskussion - insbesondere in Deutschland - meist um den Holocaust, den arabisch-israelischen Konflikt oder Antisemitismus. Dabei ist das Judentum die älteste der monotheistischen abrahamitischen Religionen, das bedeutet eine jahrtausendealte Kultur und Philosophie. Mirna Funk greift in ihrem aktuellen Buch acht Theorien der jüdischen Ideengeschichte auf, und bringt sie in Dialog mit dem "Jetzt". Dazu gehört z. B. "lashon hara", das Verbot der üblen Nachrede, oder "tikkun olam", die Pflicht, die Welt zu verbessern. So eröffnet Funk eine neue Perspektive auf politische Debatten, Streitkultur und Persönlichkeitsentwicklung: lebensnah, philosophisch fundiert und einzigartig. "Vieles, was heute diskutiert wird, als sei es ein Novum, haben Juden schon lange besprochen. Let's learn from it." (Mirna Funk)
