DOWNLOAD EBOOKLas tecnologias de la informacion y de la comunicacion (TIC), basicamente Internet, estan alterando las formas de interaccion social gracias a las grandes posibilidades que actualmente ofrece el ciberespacio a las sociedades. A pesar de existir todavia una diferenciacion de uso y de accesibilidad al ciberespacio, es probable que las personas que tienen acceso a las tecnologias digitales sienten que pueden estar 'aqui' y 'alla' de forma instantanea, causando -quiza sin percatarse- alteraciones en las nociones tradicionales del espacio-tiempo. Una de las tantas formas de comprender el nuevo espacio emergente, es decir el ciberespacio, es mediante el estudio de los Mundos Virtuales, entre los cuales se destacan los sub-mundos virtuales de Active Worlds. En los territorios virtuales se combina tanto lo irreal como lo real. Esa conjugacion interesante, muy compleja y poco explorada, incita a pensar que los mundos virtuales se pueden considerar - o quiza ya lo son?- como un nuevo campo de interes de la geografia."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEl presente estudio analiza las características de los mundos virtuales entendidos en sentido amplio, con el objetivo de definir bajo qué condiciones tienen la propiedad de desarrollar destrezas psicológicas y físicas de una manera particular que los diferencia radicalmente de otros productos culturales. En este sentido, se ha investigado el alcance en este ámbito de varias materializaciones de la cultura, entre ellas la escritura y los medios de comunicación de masas, para definir los puntos en común que sitúan a los mundos virtuales dentro del contexto cultural e histórico del ser humano, y poder así también identificar las potencialidades exclusivas de este medio. A pesar de que el concepto de virtualidad, y por ende, el de mundo virtual, han tenido muchas y muy diversas definiciones a lo largo de la historia, es en las últimas tres décadas del siglo veinte cuando empieza a desarrollarse una tecnología capaz de materializar de alguna forma entornos simulados a través de computador, susceptibles de ser denominados mundos virtuales. Estos entornos se caracterizan por una cualidad inmersiva que permite a un Usuario interaccionar de forma condicionada con entidades que no existen más allá de los límites de un soporte sensorial de algún tipo. La interacción se produce a través de dispositivos que transforman determinadas acciones convencionales en instrucciones para la máquina, la cual recoge y transforma esa información en respuestas sensitivas que son accesibles al Usuario...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWorldwide environmental crisis has become increasingly visible over the last few decades as the full scope of anthropogenic climate change manifests itself and large-scale natural resource extraction has expanded into formerly remote areas that seemed beyond the reach of industrialization. Scientists and popular culture alike have turned to the term "Anthropocene" to capture the global scale of environmental and even geological transformations that humans have carried out over the last two centuries. The chapters in Ecological Crisis and Cultural Representation in Latin America examine the dynamics and interplay between local cultures and the expansion of global capitalism in Latin America, emphasizing the role of art in bearing witness to and generating awareness of environmental and social crises, but also its possibilities for formulating solutions. They take particular care to draw out the ways in which local environmental crises in Latin American nations are witnessed and imagined as part of a global system, focusing on the problems of time, scale, and complexity as key terms in conceiving the dimensions of crisis. At the same time, they question the notion of the Anthropocene as a species-wide "human" historical project, making visible the coloniality of natural resource extraction in Latin America and its dire effects for local people, cultures, and environments. Taking an ecocritical approach to Latin American cultural production including literature, film, performance, and digital artwork, the chapters in this volume develop a notion of ecological crisis that captures not only its documentary sense in the representation of environmental destruction (the degradation of the oikos), but also the crisis in the modern worldview (logos) that the acknowledgment of crisis provokes. In this sense, crisis is also the promise of a turning point, of the possibilities for change. Latin American representations of ecological crisis thus create the conditions for projects that decolonize environments, developing new, sustainable ways of conceiving of and relating to our world or returning to old ones.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFourth in the series, this profile explores the diverse and changing nature of Community Involvement in Forest Management (CIFM) in Western Europe. It provides some comparative European-level data on important social institutions which shape patterns of community involvement in forestry, and it briefly examines different national contexts. Through 12 case studies, this publication discusses some of the main economic, social, ecological and policy opportunities and challenges of CIFM in Europe, and outlines the principal lessons learned according to three key groups of actors: governments, NGOs and local communities. The profile also proposes some recommendations for policy and action in Europe.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this important and controversial book, one of our leading literary theorists presents a major philosophical statement about the meaning of literature and the shape of literary texts. Drawing on works by the Russian writers Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov, by other writers as diverse as Sophocles, Cervantes, and George Eliot, by thinkers as varied as William James, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Stephen Jay Gould, and from philosophy, the Bible, television, and much more, Gary Saul Morson examines the relation of time to narrative form and to an ethical dimension of the literary experience. Morson asserts that the way we think about the world and narrate events is often in contradiction to the truly eventful and open nature of daily life. Literature, history, and the sciences frequently present experience as if contingency, chance, and the possibility of diverse futures were all illusory. As a result, people draw conclusions or accept ideologies without sufficiently examining their consequences or alternatives. However, says Morson, there is another way to read and construct texts. He explains that most narratives are developed through foreshadowing and "backshadowing" (foreshadowing ascribed after the fact), which tend to reduce the multiplicity of possibilities in each moment. But other literary works try to convey temporal openness through a device he calls "sideshadowing." Sideshadowing suggests that to understand an event is to grasp what else might have happened. Time is not a line but a shifting set of fields of possibility. Morson argues that this view of time and narrative encourages intellectual pluralism, helps to liberate us from the false certainties of dogmatism, creates a healthy skepticism of present orthodoxies, and makes us aware that there are moral choices available to us.
