La propuesta que aquí realizamos busca ofrecer un estudio actualizado de gran parte de las distintas cuestiones que hoy dan vida a la trama, la red, el anclaje, la promesa, las posibilidades, las alternativas de la investigación cualitativa. Esta es la razón por la cual se incorporan problemas, perspectivas, tradiciones que no habíamos considerado en la obra anterior y que asumen cada vez más relevancia, tales como: el carácter de la relación entre la ética, la epistemología y la investigación cualitativa (capítulo 2); la índole del vínculo entre las personas y pueblos y quienes investigan (epílogo); los problemas atinentes a la validez unidos a la propuesta de la validez procesual (capítulo 1) y el lugar y el uso de la teoría de la investigación cualitativa (capítulo 3). Asimismo, se introducen nuevos recursos y estrategias metodológicas como los derivados del empleo de la fotografía en la investigación cualitativa (capítulo 4), de la apelación a los métodos mixtos (capítulo 5), de la revisión de los alcances de la teoría fundamentada (capítulo 6) y del desarrollo de los tipos de software ligados a la combinación de datos cualitativos y cuantitativos (capítulo 7).

The volume examines the discourse-based critique of coloniality. It brings together an extensive interdisciplinary dialogue that reveals what different research fields – such as sociology of language, social psychology, history and political science, among others – have to say about discourse criticism and de/coloniality. In doing so, it also invites a critique of critical thinking, acknowledging the relevance of dissonant voices that arise from this debate. The essays in this volume discuss possibilities to decolonize discursive studies without losing sight of its contradictions. The book delves into how one can, as an intellectual who enjoys the privileges of coloniality in academic environments of the Global North, deal with the limitations and paradox of a radical critique through discourse. It discusses how ideas, entrenched in privilege, can be extracted, shared and applied while ensuring the radicality of their local contextualization. These ideas then must not only make sense within themselves but also resonate with other contexts, readings and peoples, in the South, without repeating the mistakes of hermetic scholarly lexicons. A key reading on decoloniality, critical thinking, methodologies, ideas, ideologies, language and critical discourse analysis, this volume will be of immense interest to scholar and researchers of language and literature, political science, the social sciences and Global South Studies.

This book shows what role nature can play in a city and how this can make it a better place for people to live. People, planners, designers and politicians are working towards the development of green cities. Some cities are already promoted as green cities, while others are on their way to become one. But their goals are often unclear and can include different facets. Presenting contributions from world leading researchers in the field of urban ecology, the editors provide an interdisciplinary overview of best practices and challenges in creating green cities. They show examples of how to build up these cities from bits and pieces to districts and urban extensions. Each example concludes with a summary of the collected knowledge, the learning points and how this can be used in other places. The best practices are collected from around the world – Europe, America and Asia. Contributions cover a wide range of biophysical and cultural backgrounds within these three continents, including the Central, Southern and Eastern European region, as well as Latin and North America. The new dynamic urban development of Asia is illustrated by case studies from China and the Indian subcontinent. The reader will learn which role nature can play in green cities and what the basic requirements are in terms of culture, pre-existing nature conditions, existing urban surroundings, history, design and planning.

This book explores the field of Sport for Development and Peace (SDP), putting Global South voices and perspectives at the centre of the analysis. Covering a wide range of thematic and methodological areas that inform existing and emerging discourses in SDP, it represents an unparalleled resource for researchers and practitioners working in this area. Arranged into geographical sections covering Africa, Asia, South America, North America and Oceania, the book presents original research in Global South countries or by Global South researchers and practitioners, sometimes in collaboration with colleagues from the Global North. It highlights practices and theories created, developed, interpreted and reinterpreted by people who belong to the communities where these sporting experiences have been taking place, and whose critical reflections and experiences have yet to gain attention in international academic and practitioner communities in the English language. The book presents the views of diverse stakeholders, programme participants, promoters, coaching staff, volunteers, researchers, teachers, lecturers and other actors that have been difficult to access for researchers who do not usually speak languages other than English. A landmark publication in the field of SDP, this book is essential reading for any advanced student, research, practitioner or policy-maker with an interest in the value of sport in international development.

In a world where gender-based violence remains an alarming global issue, with statistics revealing high rates of physical and sexual violence against women, the need for effective intervention is paramount. Grounded in the multifaceted approach advocated by international expert groups, Comprehensive Sexuality Education for Gender-Based Violence Prevention strives to illuminate the vital relationship between comprehensive sexuality education and the prevention of gender-based violence among young people. This book delves into the critical aspects outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by addressing the urgent call for expansive, multi-sectoral interventions. Drawing from a wealth of scientific literature, it emphasizes the importance of moving beyond the biological aspects of sexuality education to encompass emotional, social, and cultural elements. Through a multidisciplinary lens, this book explores how comprehensive sexuality education can serve as a powerful tool to combat gender-based violence, offering young people an understanding of sexuality, gender dynamics, and healthy relationships. The chapters examine the integration of inclusive curricula in schools, the pivotal role of families in sexuality education, and collaborative efforts between activists, schools, and education stakeholders. This comprehensive resource caters to a diverse audience, making it an indispensable tool for researchers seeking knowledge and inspiration for further inquiry, teachers enriching their educational programs, and health professionals to understand the intersection of education, sexuality, and violence.

Esta obra es única en su género tanto por la innovación que representan las propuestas que realiza, como por un intento de dar cuenta de las diferentes perspectivas, concepciones, enfoques y tensiones que caracterizan, en nuestros días, la investigación cualitativa. Esta originalidad se hace asimismo presente en la exposición llevada a cabo por los autores participantes, quienes apelan a sus propias indagaciones, vinculadas a diversos campos de las ciencias sociales. Así, en primer lugar, se tratan las características de la investigación cualitativa (capítulo 1) y las particularidades del diseño de investigación cualitativa (capítulo 2), para continuar con el desarrollo de las más relevan-tes tradiciones o estrategias de investigación cualitativa: entre ellas, el abordaje etnográfico (capítulo 3), la teoría fundamentada en los datos (capítulo 4), las historias de vida (capítulo 5) y los estudios de caso (capítulo 6). Por último, se concluye aludiendo al uso de la computadora como auxiliar del análisis de datos cualitativos (capítulo 7). En un momento en el que la investigación cualitativa se caracteriza por su rigor y flexibilidad, por su sistematicidad y creatividad, por su pluralismo metodológico y autorreflexión crítica, el objetivo de esta obra es evidenciar la seriedad de la tarea de la investigación cualitativa su exigencia, dedicación y compromiso ético. Así, al requisito de producir conocimiento útil y relevante se suma la necesidad de mostrar con claridad cada uno de los pasos del proceso de investigación que conducen a la obtención de los resultados: la selección y recolección de datos, su transcripción y análisis, las decisiones y justificaciones del muestreo, la codificación y el establecimiento de relaciones entre conceptos, la adaptación y/o modificación y, finalmente, la creación de teoría.
