Este libro es un estudio comparado de la violencia en el trabajo, en él se señala la importante influencia que esta tiene en la vida de las trabajadoras, y en otras personas como testigos, familiares, compañeros de trabajo, para la empresa y en general para la sociedad entera. El estudio realizado en este trabajo parte de la trasformación que está sufriendo el mercado de trabajo por la tecnología, y analiza en qué medida la violencia de genero también podrá ser ejercida por la maquina inteligente o la posibilidad de que pueda ser programada o manipulada para provocarla. Se plantea en el mismo la necesidad de proteger a las mujeres de la violencia de género, de las discriminaciones laborales frente a las Tics o a la robótica, para que los avances tecnológicos no la dejen atrás o no puedan ser herramientas para su sufrimiento como es el caso del ciberacoso o para sacar del mercado laboral a las mujeres. Hoy las violencias contra las mujeres no se consideran barrera para el empleo, sin embargo, todas las asociaciones de expertos en la materia señalan que las víctimas, declaran que el primer freno al empleo de estas mujeres está constituido por la violencia, y sus múltiples consecuencias sobre la vida de las víctimas, y que las políticas de empleo y de violencia contra la mujer no han solucionado. En definitiva el estudio es un análisis de las víctimas de violencia en un entorno laboral tecnológico y digitalizado como es el actual mercado laboral.

From the award-winning author of Altered Carbon and Broken Angels–a turbocharged new thriller set in a world where killers are stars, media is mass entertainment, and freedom is a dangerous proposition . . . A coup in Cambodia. Guns to Guatemala. For the men and women of Shorn Associates, opportunity is calling. In the superheated global village of the near future, big money is made by finding the right little war and supporting one side against the other–in exchange for a share of the spoils. To succeed, Shorn uses a new kind of corporate gladiator: sharp-suited, hard-driving gunslingers who operate armored vehicles and follow a Samurai code. And Chris Faulkner is just the man for the job. He fought his way out of London’s zone of destitution. And his kills are making him famous. But unlike his best friend and competitor at Shorn, Faulkner has a side that outsiders cannot see: the side his wife is trying to salvage, that another woman–a porn star turned TV news reporter–is trying to exploit. Steeped in blood, eyed by common criminals looking for a shot at fame, Faulkner is living on borrowed time. Until he’s given one last shot at getting out alive. . . .

Table of contents

This is the first in-depth guide to global community psychology research and practice, history and development, theories and innovations, presented in one field-defining volume. This book will serve to promote international collaboration, enhance theory utilization and development, identify biases and barriers in the field, accrue critical mass for a discipline that is often marginalized, and to minimize the pervasive US-centric view of the field.

From today’s vantage point it can be denied that the confidence in the abilities of globalism, mobility, and cosmopolitanism to illuminate cultural signification processes of our time has been severely shaken. In the face of this crisis, a key concept of this globalizing optimism as World Literature has been for the past twenty years necessarily is in the need of a comprehensive revision. World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality: Beyond, Against, Post, Otherwise offers a wide range of contributions approaching the blind spots of the globally oriented Humanities for phenomena that in one way or another have gone beyond the discourses, aesthetics, and political positions of liberal cosmopolitanism and neoliberal globalization. Departing basically (but not exclusively) from different examples of Latin American literatures and cultures in globalized contexts, this volume provides innovative insights into critical readings of World Literature and its related conceptualizations. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a mustread for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.
