    Invisible Reconstruction

    What does it really mean to reconstruct a city after a natural, biological or man-made disaster? Is the repair and reinstatement of buildings and infrastructure sufficient without the mending of social fabric? The authors of this volume believe that the true measure of success should be societal. After all, a city without people is no city at all. Invisible Reconstruction takes the view that effective disaster mitigation and recovery require interdisciplinary tactics. Historian Lucia Patrizio Gunning and urbanist Paola Rizzi expand beyond the confines of individual disciplines or disaster studies to bring together academics and practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines, comparing strategies and outcomes in different scenarios and cultures from South America, Europe and Asia. From cultural heritage and public space to education and participation, contributors reflect on the interconnection of people, culture and environment and on constructive approaches to strengthening the intangible ties to increase resilience and reduce vulnerability. By bringing practical examples of how communities and individuals have reacted to or prepared for disaster, the publication proposes a shift in public policy to ensure that essential physical reinforcement and rebuilding are matched by attention to societal needs. Invisible Reconstruction is essential reading for policymakers, academics and practitioners working to reduce the impact of natural, biological and man-made disaster or to improve post-disaster recovery

    Transformando la educación a través del conocimiento

    La educación es uno de los motores de transformación social más poderoso que existen y ejerce como instrumento de cohesión social, igualando las diferencias de género, etnia, situación económica, etc. La investigación educativa es, pues, una actividad estratégica: las mejoras en educación repercuten en el conjunto de la sociedad. Es en este contexto donde se sitúa el presente volumen, titulado Transformando la educación a través del conocimiento. Esta obra recoge un total de 127 capítulos con experiencias de investigación teórica y aplicación práctica sobre experiencias concretas de innovación docente. Las contribuciones, centradas en áreas educativas diversas (educación lingüística, artística, en ciencias sociales y ambientales, etc.) y de diferentes niveles educativos (tanto de los preuniversitarios, como de educación superior), tienen en común que ofrecen una mirada renovada sobre los retos que debe enfrentar la educación actual: la inclusión educativa, la integración de las TIC en la educación, la transición entre diferentes niveles educativos, la igualdad de género o la educación emocional son, entre muchos otros, algunos de los temas abordados. El presente volumen, pues, quiere contribuir a la difusión de las algunas de las aportaciones más recientes que contribuyen al progreso del conocimiento sobre los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje en la sociedad actual

    Research, Literacy, and Communication Education: New Challenges Facing Disinformation

    Get PDF
    The information that comes through digital media and social networks is increasing. This potential access to almost infinite information makes it difficult to select relevant content with a good understanding. It is therefore necessary to generate research that thoroughly analyses the phenomenon of communication and information in the digital age. For this reason, this monograph presents different research studies that highlight the need for greater media literacy and education in order to prevent the existence and dissemination of fake news. Citizens must know how to deal with disinformation and be able to detect the source of bad intentions behind information. Therefore, people need to be aware of the new communication challenges in order to determine what is important, which media they can trust, and where information has been misused or manipulated. In conclusion, society must be prepared to face new challenges related to misinformation. An educated and digitally literate society will be able to face these problems and be prepared to face the new communication challenges, including interaction with social networks, new audiences, new media, fake news, etc

    URBAN CORPORIS X - UNEXPECTED

    Get PDF
    Starting from the emergency provoked by the Sars-Cov2 that affected the whole world, the book brings the contributions of researchers and artists from all over the world discussing the theme of the \u201cunexpected\u201d, its implication, and inter-action with everyday life. The book presents a series of essays divided into three parts: Living unexpectedly, Missing interactions, and Different sociality. These three categories bring together authors who have had a reading of the unexpected emergency that occurred, pointing out different perspectives upon dynamics and relation caused by this situation, underlining how the isolation period has affected both the domestic and the urban sphere. Moreover, through drawings, photomontages and photographs, several authors gave a visual interpretation of the changed lives, spaces, and routines. All these contributions don\u2019t want to answer to the enormous problems brought by the pandemic. Rather they synthesize an interpretation of the shifting condition that occurred, showing both the great reactive capacity and the fragility of the no longer present reality
