Where Participatory Approaches Meet Pragmatism in Funded (Health) Research: The Challenge of Finding Meaningful Spaces
No full textThe term participatory research is now widely used as a way of categorising research that has moved beyond researching "on" to researching "with" participants. This paper draws attention to some confusions that lie behind such categorisation and the potential impact of those confusions on qualitative participatory research in practice. It illuminates some of the negative effects of "fitting in" to spaces devised by other types of research and highlights the importance of forging spaces for presenting participatory research designs that suit a discursive approach and that allow the quality and impact of such research to be recognised. The main contention is that the adoption of a variety of approaches and purposes is part of the strength of participatory research but that to date the paradigm has not been sufficiently articulated. Clarifying the unifying features of the participatory paradigm and shaping appropriate ways for critique could support the embedding of participatory research into research environments, funding schemes and administration in a way that better reflects the nature and purpose of authentic involvement
Christine de Pizan and Biblical Wisdom: A Feminist-Theological Point of View
No full textFifteenth-century author Christine de Pizan is admired for the extensiveness and the diversity of her writing, and is best known for her insightful defense of women. She, like many medieval writers, often used literary personification as a vehicle for conveying her thought. It has been noticed by many commentators that a number of the female literary figures Christine created had an unmistakably deified aura about them. A close engagement with her work reveals that when the need arose to affirm the inherent worth of women, or to herald the outstanding achievements of women, or to argue for the placement of women and men in the created order as equal partners in a common humanity, or to validate herself as a person of sound wisdom and learning, Christine added a theological dimension to her writing which included an affirming and wisdom-inspiring female symbol for deity. This current study, drawing upon the insights of today\u27s feminist scholars in religion, has attempted to demonstrate that the female literary theological figures she developed for the purpose of feminist authentication were inspired to a significant extent by the female figure of biblical Wisdom. Moreover, it has been shown that the scriptural Wisdom text that Christine used most extensively was the book of the Wisdom of Solomon. Scholars have long noted that in the three works under discussion here - L\u27epistre Othea la deesse, L\u27advision Cristine, and Le livre de la cite des dames - Christine utilized, borrowed from, and often revised many traditional examples of female empowerment. The recognition of her poetic as well as didactic use of the imposing female figure of biblical Wisdom adds another intriguing interpretative element to an understanding of the feminist dimension of Christine\u27s thought
La escritura como signo educativo: Christine De Pizan, una historia para escribir, para leer, para contar
No full textThe renewed interest in Christine de Pizan that has recently become apparent in the critical literature opens up new perspectives for research on a key figure in women’s writing in the Middle Ages. This article proposes an analysis of the relationship that the author establishes with writing, taking into account the role that this intellectual work plays in the field of peda-gogy. Beyond the mere dimension of gendered writing, a question often addressed by critics who, in fact, downplay the importance of the writer, the text offers a broader perspective, where Pizan appears as an important voice of Humanism and medieval intellectuality.Resumen: El renovado interés por Christine de Pizan que recientemente se ha apreciado en la crítica abre nuevas perspectivas de investigación sobre una figura clave de la escritura femenina en la Edad Media. Este artículo propone un análisis de la relación que la autora establece con la escritura, teniendo en cuenta el papel que esta labor intellectual ejerce dentro del ámbito de la pedagogía. Más allá de la mera dimensión de escritura de género, cuestión abordada a menudo por la crítica que, de hecho, le resta importancia a la escritora, el texto ofrece una perspectiva más amplia, donde Pizan aparece como una voz importante del Humanismo y de la intectualidad medieval.

The document investigates the influence that Lebanese singer Fairuz (b. 1934) has had on the Lebanese Maronite diasporic community in Michigan through the recording and release of her 1962 album Good Friday: Eastern Sacred Songs. Focusing on the metro Detroit area, the study examines how this displaced community utilizes music as a means of protecting their cultural identities and their faith after being displaced from their homeland. Using a combination of interviews and on-site observation, the research revealed an interplay between the importance of this album and Lebanese Maronite identity in the diaspora.Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA)Music: PerformanceUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

Rent - seeking trade policy : a time series approach
No full textUsing a time-series approach, the author analyzes the relationship between the extent of rent-seeking trade policy and both political and economic variables. For rent-seeking trade policy, the indicator he uses is the number of foreign-trade regulations passed each year for the benefit of a single firm or industry. The author uses data from Uruguay for 1925-83. Uruguay, which experienced an impressive economic decline, is an outstanding example of a rent-seeking society. After being a wealthy economy in midcentury, it suffered almost complete stagnation, which led to social and policital disintegration by the end of the 1960s. Three decades of restrictive regulations on foreign trade had created a nearly closed economy by the end of the 1960s. It was worth analyzing whether policymakers'great receptiveness to demands for protection could account for Uruguay's decline. Over the period 1925-83, the author finds almost 4,000 laws, decrees, and administrative resolutions that create, maintain, or modify a foreign-trade regulation for the benefit of a single firm or industry. About half of them explicitly identify the petitioner - usually a firm or guild. Since the size of the Uruguayan economy changed over the period studied, the author scales the annual number of regulations by output or exports to measure the extent of rent-seeking trade policy. The author shows that the extent of rent-seeking trade policy increased with discretionary policies and under dictatorship. (In the period studied, there were two stages of democracy - until 1932 and from 1943-72 - and two stages of dictatorship.) He also shows that rent-seeking trade restrictions increased under import-substitution strategies and, more unexpectedly, under active export promotion. This suggests that discretionary power leads to wasteful distribution, whether it is used to support inward- or outward-oriented policies. Finally, the author analyzes the correlation between innovations in the trade policy indicator and innovations in the growth rates of output and exports, with a lag of up to 20 years. Surprisingly, he finds a positive correlation with output growth rates after two or three years. But the correlation becomes negative some years later, particularly in the case of exports. The short-run positive impact on growth rates, together with the surprisingly long time lag before the negative impact, may account for policymakers'receptiveness to demands for protection.Trade Policy,Achieving Shared Growth,TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies
Exploring information experiences through phenomenography
No full textPhenomenography is a qualitative research approach that seeks to explore variation in how people experience various aspects of their world. Phenomenography has been used in numerous information research studies that have explored various phenomena of interest in the library and information sphere. This paper provides an overview of the phenomenographic method and discusses key assumptions that underlie this approach to research. Aspects including data collection, data analysis and the outcomes of phenomenographic research are also detailed. The paper concludes with an illustration of how phenomenography was used in research to investigate students’ experiences of web-based information searching. The results of this research demonstrate how phenomenography can reveal variation, making it possible to develop greater understanding of the phenomenon as it was experienced, and to draw upon these experiences to improve and enhance current practice
Community information literacy : developing an Australian research agenda
No full textThe majority of information literacy (IL) research has been\ud
con ducted within the confi nes of educational or workplace\ud
settings. Little to no research has explored IL in community\ud
contexts. This paper will consider the current state of IL research within the community setting. The paper uses three\ud
re cent IL studies as a vehicle for developing an Australian\ud
com munity IL research agenda. Three observations are\ud
made about community information literacy (CIL) and CIL\ud
research: (i) it is multi- and inter-disciplinary; (ii) it has a learning lens; and (iii) it has a pluralistic approach. The CIL research agenda should be seen as practical and real – it is about real people, doing real things in real life contexts. To achieve this we must bring to gether a research community that is ready to cross boundar ies and forge relationships with other groups. In addition a coherent and structured research agenda should be established
La cerámica del norte de la cuenca Oriental. Arqueología. Num. 57 (2019) (Segunda época) abril
No full textArtículo escrito a partir de la información generada por el Proyecto Norte de la Cuenca de Oriental, que desde 1991 se lleva a cabo, y que tenía por objetivo conocer el desarrollo de la región en la época prehispánica y su interrelación con Cantona. Gracias a ese proyecto es posible
mostrar los resultados del estudio de los materiales cerámicos de los 311 sitios en los que se halla este material; con ello se aporta información sobre el comportamiento y presencia humana en la zona. La investigación parte de los avances que el arqueólogo Ángel García Cook (2009) había mostrado, en los que establecía una secuencia cultural de cinco fases para el área de estudio. Así, logramos presentar la tipología cerámica del área para las primeras tres; las dos restantes, por los motivos que se exponen en el texto, muestran nula diferencia entre ellas.Article based on data from the North of the Eastern Puebla Basin Project, conducted since 1991 and whose aim was to show the region’s
development in pre-Hispanic times and its interrelation with Cantona. As a result of this project, it has been possible to show the results of the study of ceramic materials from the 311 sites where this material has been found, and to thus provide information on human behavior and presence in this region. Research started with the work of archaeologist Ángel García Cook (2009), who established a five-phase cultural sequence for the study area. The article presents the ceramic typology of this area for the first three phases; the remaining two, for the reasons explained in the text,
