Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Reform and Its Complexities in Modern Britain

The essays in this volume, taken together, span the era of British history from 1780 to the present that has engrossed the attention of Brian Harrison in a career of more than fifty years. In keeping with his diverse interests, they vary widely in subject matter. Yet each contributes, in some fashion, to an appreciation of the complexities of reform in modern Britain. Throughout his career Harrison has demonstrated an unwavering interest in social movements and pressure groups. He has analysed the organisation of reform movements and their bases of support; explored the aspirations and beliefs motivating individuals to start or join such movements; and examined the ideas and ideals shaping their conception of human improvement. No one has done more to show that the significance of a reform movement's triumphs and disappointments can be grasped only in relation to the forces amassed to resist its claims. The essays gathered here, on the Harrisonian theme of reform and its complexities, form an acknowledgment of the massive mark their honouree has made on the study of modern British history. They are preceded by a Foreword composed by Keith Thomas and an editorial Introduction tracing the course of Harrison's scholarship and connecting that scholarship to the substance of the essays. The volume encompasses both wide-ranging analytical investigations and telling case studies. All have new things to say on the subject of reform and its complexities in modern Britain.

El suicidio

Libro El suicidio

Una de las principales tesis que Émile Durkheim (1858-1917) defendía es que la realidad de la sociedad es algo separado de la realidad de los individuos, lo que motivó acusaciones de ensalzar a la sociedad como una entidad mítica superior al individuo y la asociación de su nombre con ideologías totalitarias. Una lectura atenta de El Suicidio, obra clásica dentro del campo de la sociología, pone en claro la injusticia de estas críticas, y que las desviaciones filosóficas en que incurrió son de menor importancia comparadas con la estimulante claridad de su visión teorética y con la ...

Libro Sangre de baguales

El Complejo Forestal y Maderero Panguipulli, en la zona cordillerana de Valdivia, fue una de las experiencias de poder popular más exitosas del sur de Chile. Entre 1970 y 1973, las tomas de veintiún fundos confluyeron en una sola gran unidad productiva de cuatrocientas mil hectáreas, cuyas tareas de administración, elaboración de planes de producción, control de calidad, comercialización, pagos y decisiones respecto de los excedentes, estuvieron en manos de los propios obreros, cuatro mil en total. Reivindicaban con ello el derecho a la autogestión. También el derecho a una vida...
