Dainelis Reina Gallego — 2024-06-10

The relationships between tourism and the environment are varied. Low-impact tourism can effectively contribute to improving relations between one and the other, making tourism development and environmental protection complementary activities. Some of the main environmental conflicts in tourism have to do with water (the tourism industry is a large consumer of water), waste (uncontrolled, seriously affects), noise and landscape degradation (tourism is a large consumer of landscape). The general objective of this work is to analyze the work of environmental education in the impacts caused by tourism in the bay of Cienfuegos. For the development of the research, the qualitative approach has been used, relying on techniques such as document analysis and in-depth interviews. Among the results, an increase in turbidity in the waters of the bay and a certain apathy and disinterest in caring for the environment on the part of the citizens can be seen. Environmental tourism is not only there so that the functions of ecological buffer and natural reproductive can be fulfilled, but also to offer new lasting perspectives of responsible and sustainable development over time, for the enjoyment of all.

José Manuel Pereira González — 2024-06-10

The theory of neoliberalism as a process has a great reach at the social level with an impact on geopolitics, economics and the environment. Edges related to the field of Social Sciences, however when we talk about its impact on culture, human beings being essentially cultural beings vulnerable to atrocious pseudo- cultural canons that quickly penetrate the identity of nations. This research aims to analyze how neoliberal globalization influences culture, from a sociological and anthropological approach, through the use of historical-logical, inductive-deductive and causal descriptive methods, through content analysis techniques and the survey to carry out a diagnosis on cultural consumption, taking as a sample a group of students of Sociocultural Management for Development of the Carlos Rafael Rodríguez University, as a complement in the praxis, which allowed measuring the real influence and perception that the respondents have about this process, from a sociocultural perspective. This made it possible to obtain both qualitative and quantitative data that demonstrate the marked influence of the neoliberal globalization on the patterns of cultural consumption of these young people.

Book review: Iriria.

Giovanni Beluche V. — 2024-06-10

We share a review of the book Iriria. Una morada para la educación ambiental, by Costa Rican professor, writer and environmentalist Cristian Marrero Solano. It is a call to build an ethic that helps us redefine the relationship between cultures and ecosystems, as a symbiotic element for life as a whole. The cover, which is a creation of Raquel Mora Vega and Katherine Quesada Calderón, evokes the girl Iriria, who is a creator and at the same time constitutes the materialization of the earth, the home for environmental education. Iriria contemplates a futuristic vision, perhaps a harbinger of what her creation could become. Reflecting on the need to overcome anthropocentrism, the false dichotomy between civilized (Western) and barbaric people. Rather, the destiny of the earth could be barbarism, caused by capitalist Western culture, predator of Mother Earth, and exploiter of human beings.

The book has 4 chapters:

Chapter I. The walker's trail

Chapter II. The emerging environmental ethics of inhabiting the earth

Chapter III. The instrumentalized emergence of contempt, for the other and the other

Chapter IV. Environmental education is not science and it is not a paradigm

Omegan (women) in the Dule rebellion of 1925

Bernal Damián Castillo Díaz — 2024-06-10

Women have a historical legacy that little is known, in the case of the Gunadule women who, together with the men, were key players in the Guna Revolution of 1925, where the Gunadule rose up against the internal colonialism that stained their dignity as a people. It was the women who suffered the most in the Gunadule communities, since the Panamanian colonial police forced them to remove their clothing, to dance in Western style, to be carnival queens, and the celebration of sacred puberty ceremonies for young girls was prohibited. and they were imprisoned if they did not comply with the orders of the colonial agents. Therefore, many stood up together with their husbands, children, and grandchildren to plan the revolts in the communities.
