Panic works: The ‘Gag Law’ and the unruly youth in Spain
Conservative forces in Spain are depicting mobilised young people as an unruly youth; a threat to the security of the Spanish state. In this way, narratives based on stimulating panic in a society known to be fearful of juvenile crime are contributing to new forms of repression and surveillance, intended to impose limits on the right to protest. This chapter presents the so-called Ley Mordaza (‘Gag Law’) as the centrepiece of a new regime of governance of young people in Spain, where soft repression, hard punishment, securitisation and surveillance are key elements

Sacrifices that pay, polity membership, political opportunities and the recognition of same-sex marriage in Spain
This article examines the Spanish gay and lesbian movement, and discusses its role in the legalization of same-sex marriages. The main focus is on the interplay between gay and lesbian rights organizations and leftist political parties during a time span that goes back to the late 1970s. In order to shed new light on the links between protest, interest representation and policy change, including law reform, this article combines the analysis of political opportunities and the exploration of some fundamental decisions taken by social movement organizations on their engagement with mainstream politics. The main argument is that impact in the area of law reform is brought about only when available opportunities for change are seized by politically incorporated social movements
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Cattolica ma secolarizzata?: I paradossi del voto religioso in Spagna
In quest’articolo vorremmo analizzare alcuni paradossi riguardanti l’impatto della religiosità sulle scelte elettorali, e rivedere criticamente alcune tesi ricorrenti nella sociologia e politologia contemporanee. In maggioranza, i sociologi tendono a partire dal presupposto che quest’impatto stia rapidamente scomparendo, o sia già del tutto inesistente. E spiegano questo fenomeno con la secolarizzazione dei cittadini dei paesi democratici, ritenuti ormai quasi totalmente autonomi dalle élite ecclesiastiche in materia di preferenze elettorali. Ciò comporterebbe la scomparsa del cleavage religioso, con l’adozione dei cosiddetti valori postmaterialisti in luogo dei criteri morali tradizionali, l’inutilità crescente delle ideologie e il declino del confronto politico basato sull’identità religiosa, grazie all’uso crescente di criteri razionali nelle decisioni elettorali
El juego de la imaginación: las experiencias de los hijos de familias adoptivas y reconstituidas
Trabajo de fin de Grado. Grado en Sociología. Curso académico 2012-2013[ES]La familia es el pilar fundamental para cualquier persona, sobre todo como ente socializador. Echando la vista atrás, comprobamos que la familia ha variado de manera significativa en forma y comportamiento, cambiando también sus funciones. Así, se presentan distintos tipos de familias pero con puntos clave en común, como las familias reconstituidas y las adoptivas en las que uno o los dos padres/madres no comparten lazo sanguíneo con los hijos. Es através de esta investigación en la que se ponen de manifiesto tanto las percepciones como los sentimientos más ocultos de los hijos de estos tipos de familias, siempre intentando solventar los problemas que supone el estudio de un grupo tan hermético como es una familia.[EN] The family is the most important pillar for anyone, acting as a socializing body. looking backwards, we realize how the family has significantly changed in form and behaviour as well as in its duties. Therefore, there is a very wide range of families but sharing common characteristics as the stepfamilies and the adoptive ones-those in which either one or both progenitors are not genetically related to their children. This paper highlights these children's perceptions and deeper feelings, trying to solve the most common problems while studying a group as inscrutable as a family
