Barbosa Vargas J: Antes de la Guerra

Antes de la Guerra

Estado, Poder Político Local y Movilización Social en el Chocó, Colombia, 1880-1990

Im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert haben sich sowohl die Quantität der weltweit hergestellten und konsumierten Musik als auch die Umgangsweisen mit ihr von Grund auf verändert. Musik ist heute im Leben fast aller Menschen omnipräsent und hat dabei neue Funktionen und Bedeutungen erlangt. Das dreiteilige Buch möchte diese Veränderungen wissenschaftlich fundiert beschreiben und dadurch neue Möglichkeiten der Auseinandersetzung mit Musik und des Verständnisses ihrer historischen und sozialen Kontexte eröffnen. "Populäre Musik" steht dabei für all jene Musik, die in moderne wirtschaftliche und mediale Zusammenhänge eingebunden ist. Im ersten Teil werden wichtige theoretische Werkzeuge vorgestellt. Der zweite Teil behandelt verschiedene historische Aspekte der populären Musik in Deutschland, den USA und Großbritannien sowie von Musik außerhalb Europas und Nordamerikas. Daran anschließend setzt sich der dritte Teil mit den ästhetischen Dimensionen der Musikgestaltung und Musikerfahrung auseinander.

Humans evolved to experience work as pleasurable and continued to find it pleasurable for the first 98% of our history, often likening it to play. The negative associations we see now with “work” stem from the extreme inequality and exploitation accompanying the rise of the state 5,500 years ago. Consequently, today many&nbsp;people&nbsp;view work negatively,&nbsp;seeing it as a means to gain income to enable consumption as opposed&nbsp;to serving as a means for creativity, community, and self-fulfillment.In&nbsp;Why We Must Work, Jon D. Wisman draws upon economics, philosophy, evolutionary psychology, social anthropology, and history to explore how work has been experienced and understood over the course of history. In addressing current conditions, he notes the absurdity that, while we live with unparalleled abundance, some workers suffer unemployment and most are not free in their workplaces, often being bossed about. Equally absurd, given our abundance, is the extreme inequality that results in pervasive insecurity, stress, and pessimism. Laissez-faire ideology legitimates the public policies that generate this inequality and these work conditions while depicting ever greater consumption as opposed to meaningful work as the means to greater happiness.Wisman offers an attractive alternative vision of our future, grounded in two reforms to make work again fulfilling: guaranteed employment and workplace democracy. Guaranteed employment would provide security and eliminate poverty while providing everyone with the social and self-respect of being a productive member of society. Measures to bring about worker ownership and control of their firms would bring freedom and democracy to the workplace. Both reforms conform to cherished values while preserving capitalism’s two principal institutions of private property and markets.Jon D. Wisman is Professor of Economics at American University in Washington, DC. He served as President of the Association for Social Economics in 2002, has twice been selected by American University as Outstanding Teacher of the Year, and was named American University’s Scholar/Teacher of the Year in 2023. He was also a recipient of the 2023 Veblen-Commons Award, in recognition of his significant contributions to evolutionary institutional economics.

Palgrave Studies in Economic History

This edited collection presents an interdisciplinary assessment of the impact of migration on knowledge transmission and entrepreneurial innovation. Focusing on Italian migration to Europe and the Americas, the book analyses the socioeconomic transformations enabled by migration and fills an important gap in the literature on the economic history of migration.Featuring contributions from fifteen scholars from around the world, the book presents a range of case studies and archival research that shows how the transmission of knowledge and skills, passed on by migrants in destination countries, represents a less-known but crucial aspect of the migration phenomenon. Chapters discuss the impact of Italian migrants in a range of contexts, with their entrepreneurial, professional, manual and craft skills significantly contributing to economic, cultural and industrial development in countries such as Chile, Argentina, Brazil and the US. Chapters bring out larger themes such as technological innovation, educational practices, institutional and public policies and experiences of short-term or temporary migration. The interdisciplinary framework of the book, bringing together economic historians, architects and sociologists, fosters unique perspectives and enriches our understanding of the economic impact of migration beyond simply linear economic growth. This will be a valuable resource for researchers of economic and business history, as well historians of migration, sociologists and demographers.Donatella Strangio is full professor of Economic History at Sapienza University of Rome. She is Director of the Department of Methods and Models for Economics, Territory and Finance at Sapienza University of Rome and carries out numerous research projects on economic, business and financial history. She has already published several books with Palgrave.

¿ Deutsche Geschichte am Beispiel eines Baudenkmals
¿ Dokumentation der Rekultivierung von Villa und Park
¿ Anschaulich mit großem Bildteil

Das Buch widmet sich der faszinierenden Geschichte der Villa Jacobs am Jungfernsee bei Potsdam: 1835 nach Plänen von Ludwig Persius für den Zuckerfabrikanten Ludwig Jacobs errichtet, ist sie umgeben von einem acht Hektar großen Landschaftspark nach dem Entwurf von Peter Josef Lenné. Komponiert als Blickfang vom Schloss Klein-Glienicke aus, ist dieses Ensemble heute ein Ort für zeitgenössische Kunst – und ein Kunstwerk an sich.Mit zahlreichen historischen und aktuellen Ansichten sowie erläuternden Texten zeigen Marianne und Stefan Ludes die Villa Jacobs als einen Ort, der exemplarisch für 300 Jahre deutscher Geschichte steht. Dass fast jede Entwicklung, die Deutschland im Großen bewegt hat, ihre Spuren an diesem Ort hinterlassen hat, ist ebenso bemerkenswert wie die von Stefan Ludes verwirklichte Rekonstruktion der Villa und des Parks, der mit seinen zahlreichen Sichtbeziehungen in die Havellandschaft heute zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe gehört.

Populism, a significant phenomenon in today’s liberal democracies, deserves in-depth analysis, and here is the most comprehensive book on populism recently, covering the Politics of Populism as well as the Economics of Populism and What to Do About It.&nbsp; So far, the discussion has suffered from the fact that social scientists critical of capitalism have used populism as a new opportunity to rail against the market economy or that populism has been seen as an understandable “cultural backlash” against the excesses of green and left-wing activists.&nbsp; Neither approach points to a realistic solution.&nbsp; Heiko J. Starossom’s analysis, presented in his book, boldly departs from the traditional approach, offering a fresh and enlightening perspective.&nbsp; He examines populism from an interdisciplinary point of view, not just focusing on the economy but also including cultural and psychological aspects, leaving the ideological left-right scheme behind.&nbsp; One way to address a problem is to eliminate its causes.&nbsp; In the “Politics of Populism,” he identifies three leading political causes: “cartel parties” or the convergence of the major political parties, the latent authoritarian tendency of a significant proportion of the population, and the loss of established status–a concept that refers to the erosion of traditional social hierarchies and norms.&nbsp; In the context of the “Economics of Populism,” possible economic triggers of populism are unemployment and pressure on wages due to globalization or technological progress and economic inequality.&nbsp; Unfortunately, there may be no easy solution to the principal political and economic drivers of populism.&nbsp; The answer, thus, lies in a revitalized philosophy that champions the meaning in life and places the community at its center.&nbsp; Strengthening human relationships in family and community is perhaps the most critical source of meaning in life and could be a promising solution worth trying.&nbsp; &nbsp;The AuthorHeiko J. Starossom, an adjunct professor at the University of Bremen, Germany, divides his time between Naples, Florida, and Bremen, Germany. &nbsp;

Politics and Economics of Populism, and What to Do About It

From Populism to People

This book examines 'womanhood' and 'race' not only as disputed, converging, and constantly changing categories and lived experiences, but also as interrelated and unequal subjectivities and social realties that shaped all early-twentieth century Puerto Ricans. It empirically documents just how significantly 'womanhood' and 'race' were inextricably intertwined in Puerto Rico between 1914 and 1945, a decisive period in U.S. expansionism and in the transformation of this island. Through a comparative analysis and description of specific subjects in early-twentieth century Puerto Rico—mostly Puerto Ricans from different races and social classes, but also some North Americans as well—the book demonstrates the extent to which 'womanhood' and 'race' are a more thorny, volatile, and unstable than is commonly acknowledged within Women’s History and Caribbean Studies. This is the first book that examines the relationships between women in Puerto Rico from divergent social classes and racialized positions by mostly focusing on the socioeconomic and racial inequalities among colonized women in Puerto Rico. This is in marked contrast with most Women’s History globally which mainly concentrates either on the lives of elite women or, at best, on the unequal relationships between colonizer- and/or European-descended women vis-à-vis colonized- and/or non-white women. In this book 'womanhood' and 'race' are not seen as separate, nor as already given, historically and culturally immutable 'things.’ Those are some of the lacunae this book transcends, primarily in the case of white-Creole women relative to non-white Island women and the images socially constructed of them in Puerto Rico, as well as for racially located Puerto Ricans more broadly. Within this context, the book enables a different reading of already known documents while demonstrating the importance of examining unused or forgotten bibliographical sources, some of them previously untranslated.Gladys M. Jiménez-Muñoz is an Associate Professor at the Sociology Department at Binghamton University-SUNY.&nbsp;

As one of the few monographs available on the history of Chinese tomb murals, this book offers a comprehensive study.&nbsp;&nbsp;Theoretically, the authors put forward rebirth belief and state explicitly that Chinese tomb murals gain their theoretical support from rebirth belief, which belongs to the Confucianism system. In terms of historical resources, they compile the first chronology of Chinese tomb murals including stone and brick reliefs, offer an area index for tomb murals, and conduct in-depth and systematic discussions on Chinese tomb murals. Furthermore, Chinese tomb murals are studied from an aesthetic perspective to highlight the unique value of Chinese tomb art for both Eastern and Western art history.&nbsp;&nbsp;The rich archaeological materials covered here are carefully scrutinized, the arguments eloquently presented, and the style used makes&nbsp;for accessible and enjoyable reading.

Fighting Like a Woman

Set within the gritty world of Colombian drug cartels, Tom Bradby depicts the dark underbelly of the crime world with his signature atmospheric plotting. Rafa Fernandez was always crystal clear about one thing; hell would freeze over before he was dragged into the dirty business that made his father one of the richest and most powerful criminal bosses in the world. But now his father is dead, hell has indeed frozen over and, whether he likes it or not, his father's billions are his. Unfortunately, the old man's rivals have an eye not just on the drugs' business but the other assets too. Soon his family is under threat: his sister has been kidnapped, and his wife and son living in fear. If they, and he, are to survive, he must become the master of his father's world. Dr Laura Strong also has dark secrets - some crippling gambling debts accumulated trying to care for her disabled brother. When Rafa offers her the chance to transform her finances by caring for his own son, she has no choice but to say yes, particularly when agents from the National Crime Agency urge her to take the job - and inform on her new boss. As a reluctant drug dealer and a damaged doctor are pushed together by an increasingly brutal series of events, the question is simple; can either of them survive? And, if so, how?
