La protección de la intimidad y vida privada en internet: la integridad contextual y los flujos de información en las redes sociales (2004-2014)


Book Description

Las redes sociales se han convertido en una herramienta de comunicación y contacto habitual para millones de personas en todo el mundo. De hecho, se calcula que más de un 75% de las personas que se conectan habitualmente a Internet cuentan con al menos un perfil en una red social. La autora plantea en el texto si las empresas propietarias de estos servicios ofrecen una información suficiente a los usuarios sobre qué datos recogen, para qué los van a utilizar y si van a ser cedidos a terceros. En una reflexión posterior, propone como posibles soluciones el hecho de que estas empresas pudieran implantar directrices técnicas compartidas y una adaptación normativa, fundamentalmente con la privacidad desde el diseño, la privacidad por defecto y el consentimiento informado. Así, el resultado sería un sistema de información por capas, en el que el usuario fuera conociendo gradualmente las condiciones del tratamiento de su información personal. Este libro explica el funcionamiento de una red social, comenzando por la creación del perfil de usuario en el que se suministran datos, y analiza cómo la estructura del negocio está basada en la monetización de los datos personales, con sistemas como el targeting (catalogando al usuario según sus intereses, características y predilecciones) y el tracking down (cruzando información dentro y fuera de la red). La autora distingue entre intimidad y vida privada, introduciendo conceptos como TIC, Internet, sociedad de la información, web 2.0 y redes sociales, con la teoría de los seis grados de separación y sus características, historia y orígenes. Plantea la evolución de la distinción entre espacio público y privado, y la relatividad de las teorías actuales, estudiando también la evolución del comportamiento de los usuarios y hasta qué punto pueden estos desarrollar estrategias de autoprotección.

Care for Sale


Book Description

In homes and brothels around the world, migrant women are selling a unique commodity: care. Care for Sale is an in-depth ethnography of a group of middle-class women from Latin America who exchange care and intimacy for money while working as domestic and sex workers in London. Illuminating the complexities of care work, the book offers a detailed study of women's lives and working conditions. It considers how their experience of migration and intimate labor is one of rupture that both enables and forces them to gradually reconstitute themselves, in their host cities, as people quite distinct from their normal selves back home. Care for Sale illustrates the connections and the factors that contribute to migrant women choosing either domestic or sex work, including their concerns about money and morality. It moves away from a narrow focus on migration and labor to focus instead on the creation and (re)creation of persons; and on the ways in which people fashion themselves and cultivate difference, inequality, or commonality as part of their self-making projects. By doing this, the book shows migrants not only as economic actors, but also as individuals involved in an intimate process that constantly modifies their sense of morality and personhood. Care for Sale is a volume in the series ISSUES OF GLOBALIZATION: CASE STUDIES IN CONTEMPORARY ANTHROPOLOGY, which examines the experiences of individual communities in our contemporary world. Each volume offers a brief and engaging exploration of a particular issue arising from globalization and its cultural, political, and economic effects on certain peoples or groups.




Global Burden of Armed Violence 2015


Book Description

The 2015 edition of the Global Burden of Armed Violence provides a wealth of data relevant to security and the post-2015 sustainable development framework. It estimates that 508,000 people died violently - in both conflict and non-conflict settings - every year in 2007–12, down from 526,000 in 2004–09. This trend is visible in non-conflict settings, where the proportion of women and girls is also slightly reduced, from 17 to 16 per cent. Yet, the number of direct conflict deaths is on the rise: from 55,000 to 70,000 per year over the same periods. Firearms are used in close to half of all homicides committed and in almost one-third of direct conflict deaths. Nearly USD 2 trillion in global homicide-related economic losses could have been saved if the homicide rate in 2000–10 had been reduced to the lowest practically attainable levels - between 2 and 3 deaths per 100,000 population.




Location-Based Marketing


Book Description

Location-based Marketing outlines the main concepts, methods and strategies for implementing spatial marketing, also known as geomarketing. With an emphasis on the value of mapping in marketing decision-making, this book demonstrates the importance of a more spatialized view of these decisions, in order to best respond to market realities whether local or international. The main techniques of geomarketing are presented along with an understanding of the spatial behavior of consumers, both outside the point of sale and in stores. The book further introduces the idea of a "geomarketing mix", which spatializes product innovations, merchandising, pricing and various aspects of promotion. Finally, the book defines what real georetailing comprises and develops the concept of mobile marketing based on geolocation techniques.
