IN RECENT YEARS VARIOUS PUERTO RICAN CULTURAL STUDIES HAVE EXPOSED THE PATERNALISM AND CLASSISM THAT LIE BEHIND THE ISLAND'S HEGEMONIC NATIONALIST DISCOURSE SINCE THE 1930S.

"Este libro reúne una serie de trabajos que analizan la persistencia y la transformación de lo étnico a raíz de la migración internacional de los mexicanos, principalmente de origen indígena, hacia Estados Unidos. El volumen ofrece distintas reflexiones sobre la transformación de las fronteras nacionales y étnicas a raíz de las migraciones internacionales de finales del siglo XX en un doble marco estatal. La frontera México-Estados Unidos es el escenario empírico de la reflexión sobre algunos de los cambios más significativos que alimentan la constitución de nuevas identidades étnicas transnacionales surgidas de las migraciones. Los trabajos analizan la condición ambigua de las fronteras estatales como espacios de fragmentación y a la vez de continuidad cultural, aportando una nueva forma de pensar el fenómeno migratorio entre ambos países."--Cover p. 4

La filosofía de Hannah Arendt es una propuesta que trata de dar remedio a los males de la política apostando por la democracia esencial. En la Europa de los años treinta del pasado siglo el totalitarismo era, sin duda, el mayor mal que jamás la política pudo imaginar. En el caso de Alemania el autoritarismo trajo consigo el asesinato de miles de judíos. Arendt, ella misma judía, trata de analizar las múltiples aristas y buscar sentido en este complejo fenómeno. Su interpretación es escandalosa para la comunidad judía, problemática a todas luces desde una mirada retrospectiva para el resto del mundo. ; Hannah Arendt's philosophy is a proposal that tries to offer a vision about political evils and emphasizing on the essential democracy. During the 30's Europe suffers the hugest political evil that we ever couldn't have imagined. Referring to Germany, authoritarianism caused the death of thousands of Jews. Arendt, Jewish herself, tries to analyze the several perspectives of this phenomenon and find out a sense on it. Her interpretation is quite shocking for the Jewish community and obviously problematic for the rest of the world.

Artículo escrito por un elevado número de autores, sólo se referencian el que aparece en primer lugar, el nombre del grupo de colaboración, si le hubiera, y los autores pertenecientes a la UAM ; Compulsory admission procedures of patients with mental disorders vary between countries in Europe. The Ethics Committee of the European Psychiatric Association (EPA) launched a survey on involuntary admission procedures of patients with mental disorders in 40 countries to gather information from all National Psychiatric Associations that are members of the EPA to develop recommendations for improving involuntary admission processes and promote voluntary care. METHODS.: The survey focused on legislation of involuntary admissions and key actors involved in the admission procedure as well as most common reasons for involuntary admissions. RESULTS.: We analyzed the survey categorical data in themes, which highlight that both medical and legal actors are involved in involuntary admission procedures. CONCLUSIONS.: We conclude that legal reasons for compulsory admission should be reworded in order to remove stigmatization of the patient, that raising awareness about involuntary admission procedures and patient rights with both patients and family advocacy groups is paramount, that communication about procedures should be widely available in lay-language for the general population, and that training sessions and guidance should be available for legal and medical practitioners. Finally, people working in the field need to be constantly aware about the ethical challenges surrounding compulsory admissions
