Probing the interfaces between the social sciences and social-ecological resilience: insights from integrative and hybrid perspectives in the social sciences
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Stone-Jovicich, Samantha; CSIRO Land and Water Flagship, Adaptive Social and Economic Sciences Program; samantha.stone-jovicich@csiro.au.
Social scientists, and scholars in related interdisciplinary fields, have critiqued resilience thinking&amp;#8217;s oversimplification of social dimensions of coupled social-ecological systems. Resilience scholars have countered with &amp;#8220;where is the ecology&amp;#8221; in social analyses? My aim is to contribute to current efforts to strengthen inter- and transdisciplinary debate and inquiry between the social-ecological resilience community and the social sciences. I synthesize three social science perspectives, which stress the complex, dynamic, and multiscalar interconnections between the biophysical and social realms in explaining social-environmental change, and which place both the social and ecology centre stage in their analyses:...

Transforming collected raw-state data into research results involves the use of certain precedures so as to systematize, categorize and enable its analysis by the researcher.In the specific case of the analysis of communications, adequate mechanisms are demanded so one is able to find in data obtained by means of interviews, messages and documents in general information that illustrate, explain or help bring investigated phenomena to light. Among such mechanisms are the analysis of contents and the analysis of speech as theorical-methodological propositions, intending to surpass their status as “simple techniques of analysis” and compose a field of knowledge. Thus, this present text has been elaborated aiming to providing a better understanding about what...

Emergence of Darwinian theories on evolution of Homo sapiens (Catarrhini: Hominidae) and their relevance for social sciences
Provedor de dados: 97
Autores: MANRÍQUEZ,GERMÁN.
Despite the great impact that the Darwinian theories on organic evolution have had in the development and consolidation of biology as an autonomous scientific discipline, their relevance in social sciences, and particularly in archaeology and anthropology still remain ambiguous. This ambiguity is reflected in the classical interpretation of Darwin's work pervading Social Sciences during more than one century, according to which the same ideas that contributed to the understanding of natural processes from a scientific perspective would be at the basis of a misleading interpretation of the evolution of human societies due to the application of the principie of natural selection to the social processes. Here we show how the works of T.H. Huxley and A.R....

Socioeconomic Issues in Irrigation Literature: Approaches, Concepts, and Meanings
Provedor de dados: 117
Autores: Montaña,Elma; Pastor,Gabriela; Torres,Laura.
“Knowledge Assessment on Sustainable Water Resources Management for Irrigation” (KASWARMI) project made evident cases of unsuccessful or non sustainable irrigation experiences that could only be explained by the underestimation of deep socioeconomic issues. This involves not only the social factors related to the implementation/adoption of new or better technologies by a wide spectrum of users but also the way in which water use and irrigation projects are conceived, planned and implemented by scientists, politicians and practitioners. The project was interested in assessing the social science inputs irrigation specialists receive. With this objective, this paper presents a state of the art on some selected socioeconomic subjects as they appear in the...
