- ItemDesign for Emergency Management(Taylor and Francis, 2023) Manen, Saskia M. van; Jaenichen, Claudine; Lin, Tingyi S.; Kremer Ramírez, Klaus Nicolás; Ramírez Andersen, Rodrigo AndrésThrough a combination of theory, practice, and a range of interdisciplinary case studies, this book expands how we define and think about the critical role and relationship between design and emergencies. This role extends far beyond aesthetics: the book highlights the urgency of ensuring that a wide range of stakeholders and a diverse representation of the public comes together to work towards preventing disasters. Design in the context of disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding and (wild) fires, provides new ways of looking at challenges. It contributes methods to actively engage communities in managing and minimizing disaster risk. Contributors present the latest research on how (collaborative) design and design thinking contribute to the development of processes and solutions to increase disaster literacy and decrease disaster risk for individuals and entire communities. Chapters highlight applied research and implementation of design and design thinking before, during, and after emergencies, resulting in a set of design guidelines derived from best practice. The book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in emergency management, product and service design, strategic design, design research, co-design, social design, design for change, and human-centered design.

- ItemUna guerra contra la pobreza: voluntarios del Cuerpo de Paz, interacciones y desarrollo comunitario en Sudamérica en los años sesenta(Fondo de Cultura Económica, 2023) Purcell Torretti, FernandoLos jóvenes voluntarios del Cuerpo de Paz de Estados Unidos son los grandes protagonistas de este libro. Inspirados en la épica de John F. Kennedy y comprometidos con la superación de la pobreza a nivel global, dejaron sus casas para trabajar por dos años en proyectos de desarrollo comunitario. Todo eso en el contexto de una década fascinante marcada por el idealismo, las tensiones ideológicas y los grandes conflictos de la Guerra Fría. Se rescatan aquí sus experiencias desde el entrenamiento inicial hasta sus años de servicio en comunidades urbanas y rurales sudamericanas. Lo íntimo y lo público de su labor se abordan a través de testimonios personales, cartas, diarios de vida, boletines, informes, prensa, evaluaciones y documentación inédita del Cuerpo de Paz. Se estudian aquí las iniciativas modernizadoras de Estados Unidos y el diálogo con los planes de acción de gobiernos e instituciones locales. En este marco se aborda la mediación que los voluntarios hicieron, en terreno, entre las distintas miradas sobre pobreza y desarrollo en Sudamérica.
