Combining emerging trends in collaboration, democratization, and urbanization, this book examines the emergence of entrepreneurship and innovation as a primarily urban phenomenon, explains why urban environments are rapidly attracting global innovators across three distinct forms of "urbanpreneurship," and lights the path forward for entrepreneurs, innovators, and city governments.The world is urbanizing rapidly. Currently, 600 cities account for 60 percent of the global economy; by 2025, it is predicted that the top 100 cities will account for 35 percent of the world's economy. Emerging trends in collaboration, the sharing economy, and innovation are opening up new opportunities for entrepreneurs in urban environments—"urbanpreneurs"—to participate in everything from tech startups in cities (instead of suburban tech parks) to makers and on-demand service providers to roles in civic entrepreneurship for those interested in solving the challenges that growing cities are facing.Readers of this book will understand how the converging trends of collaboration, democratization, and urbanization are rapidly attracting global innovators to cities capable of creating the enabling environment for aspiring innovators. The book discusses how entrepreneurs can best capitalize on the opportunities in urban settings, identifies what large and small cities can do to encourage more urbanpreneurship, and concludes with a consideration of the future of entrepreneurship in urban environments.

Denise Pikka Thiem, de 41 años, norteamericana y de origen asiático, necesitaba reinventarse, hacer un break en su vida. Una película de éxito, The Way (El Camino), la animó a hacerlo de la misma forma que su protagonista: recorriendo el Camino de Santiago. La mañana del 5 de abril de 2015, después de salir de Astorga (León), la peregrina desapareció sin dejar rastro. Esta es la historia de una apasionante investigación de la Policía —también de la solidaridad de muchas personas— en la que desde el primer minuto hubo un sospechoso claro, pero en la que parecía imposible encontrar pruebas que pudieran incriminarlo. Para complicar más las cosas, las presiones diplomáticas al más alto nivel se cruzaron en el trabajo incansable de los encargados del caso.

En este libro el autor enfrenta la tarea de elucidar las aporías y paradojas del goce, una noción "laberíntica", intratable, pero también fascinante, y por ello, peligrosa. Los peligros provienen de su potencia explicativa y su importancia clínica, pues problematiza la teoría cuando irrumpe arruinando lo que se suponía explicaba; así como, a la vez, justifica dificultades de la práctica analítica y cuestiones irresolubles de la misma.Considerarlo a partir de la "negatividad", central en Lacan, posibilita renunciar a "tratarlo" como un impulso indomeñable y excesivo a limitar. Cuando la práctica analítica se reduce a técnicas para acotar excesos o a intentar simbolizar un pretendido goce presimbólico, esquiva aquellas aporías y paradojas, con las consecuencias teóricas y prácticas que el autor pone de manifiesto. Pues que el goce sea imposible no impide leer los trayectos de la eficacia de esa imposibilidad.
