Los adolescentes olvidan sus juguetes infantiles para vérselas con una nueva pareja: su cuerpo sexualizado que les produce extrañeza y los inquieta. Es allí donde la tentación del bullying aparece como una falsa salida: manipular el cuerpo del otro bajo formas diversas (ninguneo, agresión, exclusión, injuria) les permite poner a resguardo el suyo. Para eso hay que designar un chivo expiatorio y golpear y destruir esa diferencia que se le imputa a la víctima y que deviene, para algunos, insoportable porque confronta a cada uno con la asunción de su sexualidad y con encontrar un lugar en ese nuevo mundo que sucede a la adolescencia. Abordar el acoso implica acompañar a esos adolescentes en su delicado tránsito.

This book presents eight reflections on the current state of the university around the world, the problems facing it as an educational institution and the challenges it must address in a changing society, where the arrival of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) has had an immense impact. On these pages, rectors and directors from universities in different countries (Canada, Morocco, the United Kingdom, Spain, Israel, Portugal, Mexico) attempt to analyze the current problems confronting the university and propose new strategies regarding syllabus design, local and global problems, reforms implemented in recent years and the viability of educational models in an ever more globalized society. Turning the university upside down: actions for the near future aims to offer clear answers to many of the questions facing the university today, offering guidelines it is hoped will contribute to designing an agenda for action that will allow university education to improve in the very near future.

¿Qué es educar? En una sociedad agitada por los cambios drásticos durante las dos últimas décadas, parece un auténtico desafío poder concretar qué vamos a enseñar a nuestros alumnos. No obstante, educar no es simplemente transmitir unos conocimientos predeterminados. Esta obra es una colección de reflexiones críticas sobre el procesos educativo y sus implicaciones en el siglo XXI.

This book serves as a critical review of SOCIAL URBANISM, defined as a socio-political and practical approach to urban globalization, deriving from a planning strategy and portfolio of built projects that seek to alleviate the social consequences of urbanization. This book emphasizes both the political processes and the urbanism projects that simultaneously consider socio-economic and ecological components of space, and which highlight a greater focus on social sustainability. In a context in which geography defines space and culture, and through challenges of a global magnitude, we are inextricably united in an era of environmental uncertainty, where shared experiences and values place us within a collective culture, inspiring mutual agency in service of this vision for SOCIAL URBANISM. Through the work presented here, SOCIAL URBANISM is expanded as a worldview that considers the cultural values of a given place as interconnected to the geographical landscape of the region, and therefore, as the driving forces behind future models of globalization and urban growth. The points of view of multiple colleagues and experts across differing fields provide introspection on the implementation of SOCIAL URBANISM. These shared opinions strengthen the significance of this work and affirm the joint values and visions for the global urbanization challenges we are confronting in the 21st century, and which continue into the future.
