Over the last ten years citizenship has become an area of
interdisciplinary research and teaching in its own right. This book
highlights that globalization poses new challenges for established
understandings and practices of citizenship, and that intellectual
work is required to fashion models of citizenship better suited to
present problems and realities. In particular, this volume
emphasizes the pluralization of identities and communities within
states brought about by such forces as mass immigration, global
communication, substate regionalism and more generally the
fragmentation of modern notions of nation. The challenge is to
devise forms of democracy and political identity adequate to these
'globalized' conditions. Ideally suited to anyone interested in
globalization, cultural diversity and citizenship.
La presente antologia comprende poemas y cartas de sor Juana Ines
de la Cruz que constituyen un relevante panorama del Mexico del
siglo XVII.
This book is a compendium of pragmatism in the social sciences.
While addressing several distinct spheres, it carries a common
message: the future of the social sciences depends on a shared
understanding of society based on the knowledge of various
disciplines and transcending the currently forbidding borders
between scientific knowledge and the other forms of knowledge.
Looking back at the social science traditions this is nothing new.
To ensure a fruitful future for the social sciences a paradigm
shift is unavoidable. The consequence of the increase of knowledge
in the last two centuries was the specialization of the sciences.
The nineteenth century saw the separation of humanities and social
sciences; the twentieth century is even characterized by
specialization within the disciplines and the occurrence of
competing schools of thought. This book tries to overcome the
barriers that are built between and within the disciplines, and to
counteract the unnecessary barriers created by the emergence of
"schools of thoughts" that distrust each other and the social
sciences as a whole. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Innovation: The European Journal of Social Science
Research.
The phenomenon of filial piety is fundamental to our understanding
of Chinese culture, and this excellent collection of essays
explores its role in various areas of life throughout history.
Often regarded as the key to preserving Chinese tradition and
identity, its potentially vast impact on government and the
development of Chinese culture makes it extremely relevant, and
although invariably virtuous in its promotion of social cohesion,
its ideas are often controversial. A broad range of topics are
discussed chronologically including Confucianism, Buddhism and
Daoism, making it essential reading for those studying Chinese
culture, religion and philosophy. This is a multi-disciplinary
survey that combines historical studies with philosophical analysis
from an international team of respected contributors.
The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Chinese Philosophy
Methodologies presents a new understanding of the changing methods
used to study Chinese philosophy. By identifying the various
different approaches and discussing the role, and significance of
philosophical methods in the Chinese tradition, this collection
identifies difficulties and exciting developments for scholars of
Asian philosophy. Divided into four parts, the nature of Chinese
philosophical thought is illuminated by discussing historical
developments, current concerns and methodological challenges.
Surveying recent methodological trends, this research companion
explores and evaluates the methodologies that have been applied to
Chinese philosophy. From these diverse angles, an international
team of experts reflect on the considerations that enter their
methodological choices and indicate new research directions. The
Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Chinese Philosophy Methodologies is
an important contribution to the education of the next generation
of Chinese philosophers.
