  • Biografia De Antonio Escohotado
    Biblioteca Letras Psicoactivas es un proyecto editorial de reciente creación que publica libros con información objetiva sobre todo tipo de drogas, fármacos y sustancias psicoactivas. Para más información, pueden visitar su página web (http://www.letras-psicoactivas.es) Antonio Escohotado: filósofo, escritor y psiconauta Autor: J. C. Ruiz Franco Este artículo fue publicado originalmente en la revista Cannabis Magazine (http://www.cannabismagazine.es) Puede distribuirse, reproducirse y copiarse en cualquier medio, total o parcialmente, siempre que se cite la fuente, el autor y la dirección de Biblioteca Letras Psicoactivas (http://www.letras-psicoactivas.es) No hay duda de que el nombre de Antonio Escohotado Espinosa resulta familiar a todos los lectores, ya que es uno de los autores más importantes de la actualidad, no sólo por la relevancia de sus obras, sino también por la amplia variedad de los temas que trata. Para los drogófilos es, sobre todo, el autor de Historia de las drogas y la celebridad que, en sus artículos y apariciones en los medios de comunicación, defiende la ‘normalización’ de las sustancias psicoactivas (devolverles su estatus de cosas normales en el mundo en que vivimos); no tanto la ‘legalización’, que en cierto modo implicaría reconocer su condición de objetos prohibidos, una situación a todas luces anormal. Un filósofo de nuestro tiempo Escohotado está incluido en el diccionario de pensadores del siglo XX. Políticamente se define como liberal, en la línea de David Hume y Thomas Jefferson. No entra en la dicotomía izquierda-derecha, sino que le interesa más el debate entre libertad-autoritarismo; toma partido por el primer término y rechaza toda versión del segundo, sin importar su procedencia.

  • State of Hawaii 2004 Treatment Needs Assessment
    StateState ofof HawaiiHawaii 20042004 TreatmentTreatment NeedsNeeds AssessmentAssessment State of Hawaii Department of Health Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division State of Hawaii 2004 Treatment Needs Assessment Department of Health Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division 2007 Page 1 Acknowledgement This report would not have been possible without the efforts and patience of a great many people. While the list is far too long to present here, most notable are Ms. Elaine Wilson, former Director of the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division (ADAD) who had the vision to realize that the Division not only required a new assessment of treatment needs but also that there was a need for perspective in this report and a need to place the treatment needs of Hawaii’s residents in a context both temporally and nationally. Her successor, Mr. Keith Yamamoto carried that vision into this report and his unswerving support for the project and his limitless patience in its production are appreciated. Ms. Virginia J. Jackson (VJ) was the glue that held all of this together and will hopefully be one of the prime beneficiaries of the product as she helps the Division move ahead with its planning and implementation. Dr. Victor Yee provided the fidelity check point questioning and examining the details of the report to assure that what was promised was delivered. Closer to the report, my wife, Sandie provided a great deal of the editing of the report and along with Dr. Jin Young Choi created the envelope of assurance around the data and their explanation and the conclusions that emerged. Finally, the people of the State, at least the 5050 who responded to the survey in 2004 made this all possible and it is to them that I extend my most warm Aloha and the hope that this report will in some way make their lives better.

No, naturalmente, al ser- vicio de una política concreta o coyuntural, en apoyo de algún grupo o ten- dencia determinada. Pero sí en cuanto a su contenido y á sus conclusiones teóricas más generales. No podría ser de otra manera. El tema del hombre, sin más adjetivos calificadores, es siempre un tema político, en alguna me- dida, en cuanto sea contemplado en su acción histórica (temporal) o en su contexto de convivencia con los demás hombres (social). Es decir, en su dia- cronía o en su espacialidad. Y ello es así porque, visto desde cualquiera de ambos parámetros (agente de hechos, creador de instituciones, elaborador de producción, etc.), su naturaleza resulta radicalmente política por ser a la vez convivencial y activa, productora.

  • From Steinbeck to Bukowski: the Evolution of the Social Commitment of the Twentieth-Century American Literature
    FACULTAD de FILOSOFÍA Y LETRAS DEPARTAMENTO de FILOLOGÍA INGLESA Grado en Estudios Ingleses TRABAJO DE FIN DE GRADO From Steinbeck to Bukowski: The Evolution of the Social Commitment of the Twentieth-Century American Literature Javier Martín Cáceres Tutor: Jesús Benito Sánchez 2019-2020 ABSTRACT The social and political commitment of American literature has been unquestionable since its origins. Despite this, many literary critics have questioned the social implication of postmodern literature, due to its disassociation from any type of ideological current. On the contrary, other authors recognize in this literature a strong commitment to the defense of individual liberties. This paper aims to analyze the characteristics of postmodern social criticism, through the study of Charles Bukowski’s work Post Office. At the same time, this paper develops a comparison with the social criticism present in John Steinbeck's novel The Grapes of Wrath, with the objective of analyzing the parallels and divergences between postmodern criticism and the critique developed during modernism. Key Words: Social Commitment, Social Realism, Dirty Realism, Bukowski, Steinbeck, Postmodernism. El compromiso social y político de la literatura norteamericana ha sido indudable desde sus orígenes. A pesar de ello, muchos críticos literarios han puesto en cuestión la implicación social de la literatura posmodernista, debido a su desvinculación con cualquier tipo de corriente ideológica. Por el contrario, otros autores reconocen en esta literatura un fuerte compromiso con la defensa de las libertades individuales. Este trabajo pretende analizar las características de la crítica social posmoderna, a través del estudio de la obra de Charles Bukowski Post Office. A su vez, desarrolla una comparación con la crítica social presente en la novela de John Steinbeck The Grapes of Wrath, con el objetivo de analizar los paralelismos y las divergencias entre la crítica posmoderna y la desarrollada durante el modernismo.

  • Portrayal of Substance Abuse in Post Independence Hindi Cinema
    G.J.I.S.S.,Vol.4(4):33-35 (July-August, 2015) ISSN: 2319-8834 Portrayal of Substance Abuse in Post Independence Hindi Cinema: A Thematic Study Hariom Verma Assistant Professor, Department of English, Lyallpur Khalsa College, Jalandhar, Punjab, India Abstract The history of substance abuse can be traced back to prehistoric ages. Figures suggest that in the contemporary times substance abuse has increased greatly to become a menace to the society. Concurrent with this increase in substance abuse is an increase in its representation in print and visual media. Post independence Hindi cinema has been quite sensitive to substance abuse and its trade. Films showing substance abuse can be classified into two broad categories: those showing drug intake or addiction and those focusing on drug trade. Films show substance abuse in romantic aura also. The portrayal of negative aspects of substance abuse is a more recent trend in post independence Hindi cinema, which is in contrast to the cinema of 50s and 60s. The paper suggests that cinema in the current age of internet can prove a highly effective tool to deal with this menace. Keywords: Cinema, substance abuse, drug trade, media, film Introduction Substance Abuse alternatively called Drug Abuse is as old as the history of human civilization. The cult of taking drugs began before the beginning of systematized agriculture. It is believed that people of the Stone Age used to consume hallucinogenic mushrooms some 12,000 years ago (McKenna, 1992). Coca was used as a stimulant in South America even in prehistoric times (Davenport-Hines, 2002).

Título. Para Eva, minha mãe, e para Andressa, pois sem elas qualquer felicidade seria bem menos feliz. O ópio e a morfina são certamente drogas nocivas que geram dependência. Mas, uma vez que se admita que é dever do governo proteger o indivíduo contra sua própria insensatez, nenhuma objeção séria pode ser apresentada contra outras intervenções. Não faltariam razões para justificar a proibição de consumo de álcool e nicotina. E por que limitar-se apenas à proteção do corpo? Por acaso os males que um homem pode infringir à sua mente e à sua alma não são mais graves do que os danos corporais?
