Historical Legacies of the Pre-industrial Family Systems: Cohabitation
No full textThis paper discusses a cultural explanation for the rise of cohabitation in the last decades in Europe. For doing so, I approach this phenomenon from the field of historical legacies of pre-industrial family systems. The literature regarding the history of marriage and cohabitation points that, before the institutionalization of marriage, different characteristics of family systems and family norms (such as co-residence of parents with their adult children, dowry, or inheritance) were relevant to explain why some regions in Europe had a higher use of cohabitation (called back then informal marriage). Regarding the current rise of this practice, the Second Demographic Transition theory (SDT) points to the ideational change toward individualism and anti-conformism as the main cause of the rise of cohabitation. And, not surprisingly, the literature about legacies of historical family systems recently connected preindustrial family features (such as the number of generations living in the same household) with the persistence of the values and attitudes that seem to be linked to the recent changes in family formation. These 3 bodies of literature highlight the potential of the field of historical legacies of the family to explain the current family behavior, such as cohabitation
Cultural legacies of pre-industrial family systems : household structure, family change and values
No full textDefence date: 14 March 2025Examining Board: Prof. Juho Härkönen (European University Institute, Supervisor); Prof. Lea Pessin (European University Institute); Prof. Joana Maria Pujadas Mora (Centre de Éstudis Demografics; Universitat Oberta de Catalunya); Prof. Arnstein Aassve (Bocconi University)This thesis presents itself as a theory to approach the persistent effects of culture over current outcomes and phenomena through a historical legacies approach. It combines the theory of cognitive culture, historical legacies, the theory of human values, and the second demographic transition to address a crucial question: can a historical antecedent such as pre-industrial family systems capture cultural traits that affect our behaviors and values today? The first chapters of the thesis are dedicated to introducing and presenting the theoretical and historical background that sets the grounds for this argument on the cultural legacies of the pre-industrial family. The third chapter is presented as a case study to analyze the most common European pre-industrial household structure, the Stem family system, to understand its internal logic, reproduction, and resilience to the times of change (mid-19th to mid-20th century). It uses census data for 5 municipalities in the region of Baix Llobregat, near Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain. Chapter four focuses on the cultural congruence of the common sense captured by the four pre-industrial family systems and the basic human values described by Schwartz, testing the argument of Emmanuel Todd and defining the value profile associated with each of the four basic pre-industrial family systems in Western Europe. The fifth chapter focuses on the current practice of cohabitation as a legacy of these family systems. For chapters four and five, I combine the ten waves of the European Social Survey and the data for historical family systems described by Emmanuel Todd (1996) and coded by Duranton et al. (2009). The results highlight that the specific characteristics of each family type can be used to address persistent cultural differences in the individual's common sense that are linked to significant differences in the individual's profile of human values and the adoption of practices such as cohabitation. Moreover, the third and fifth chapters show how the family should not be merely interpreted as an economic unit adrift from economic and social conditions but as an agent that affects and plays a role in the processes of social change in its environment
Characterization of the interconsultations to the dermatology service, in hospitalization and emergencies, of the adult population in the Foscal and Foscal Internacional clinics in Floridablanca, Santander
No full textIntroducción: La mayor parte de la actividad asistencial diaria, en Dermatología, se desarrolla en la consulta externa, sin embargo, es cada vez es más significativo la labor del dermatólogo en el ámbito hospitalario. La actividad intrahospitalaria de la Dermatología ha sido poco estudiada, sin embargo, la patología cutánea, representa una importante comorbilidad en pacientes hospitalizados.
Objetivo: Determinar las características de las interconsultas solicitadas al servicio de
Dermatología, en la Clínica la Foscal y Foscal Internacional, en los servicios de Urgencias
y Hospitalización, y documentar los 10 principales motivos de interconsulta dermatológica en adultos y las características demográficas de los pacientes; entre
otras variables.
Metodología: se realizó un estudio transversal descriptivo, incluyendo los sujetos a los cuales se realizó interconsulta por el servicio de Dermatología, en todos los servicios de las clínicas estudiadas. Se recopiló la información durante 1,5 años de forma retrospectiva y durante 3 meses de forma prospectiva a partir del momento de la
aprobación del proyecto. Para la recolección de los casos, la información se tomó de la base de datos (interconsultas realizadas por el servicio) de los Residentes de Dermatología. Los datos fueron anonimizados.
Resultados esperados: determinar las causas de interconsulta dermatológica, describir las características sociodermográficas, y las otras variables de pacientes
hospitalizados por causas dermatológicas y por otras causas, en los servicios de urgencias y hospitalización de las clínicas Foscal y Foscal internacional.TITULO: .................................................................................................................................................................. 9

I am who I’m meant to be!” Being a woman in the arms branch of the Colombian National Army
No full textilustraciones, fotografíasEn este trabajo, analizo la experiencia de ser mujer oficial de armas en el Ejército Nacional de Colombia, una institución profundamente masculina y patriarcal. Entre 2020 y 2022, mientras trabajaba para el Ejército y compartía muchas de las vivencias de las oficiales, conversé con 37 de ellas, quienes me revelaron las tensiones y desafíos que enfrentan en un entorno que constantemente cuestiona su lugar. Desde mi perspectiva como mujer con familia militar y como alguien que ha trabajado en la institución, analizo cómo sus trayectorias están atravesadas por continuidades y contradicciones que, refuerzan las jerarquías de género y poder, mientras que otras de sus experiencias resisten tales estructuras. A partir de un enfoque etnográfico, esta investigación profundiza en el incómodo y complejo lugar que ocupan estas mujeres en una institución hipermasculinizada, para reflexionar sobre cómo sus experiencias y negociaciones confirman, matizan y, en ocasiones, desafían las jerarquías y relaciones de subordinación propias de la vida militar. Porque, a fin de cuentas, ser mujer en el Ejército no es solo una excepción; es una lucha continua por transformar esa misma idea de excepcionalidad. (Texto tomado de la fuente).In this work, I analyze the experience of being a female officer in the Colombian National Army, a profoundly male-dominated and patriarchal institution. Between 2020 and 2022, while working for the Army and sharing in many of the female officers' experiences, I spoke with 37 of them who revealed the tensions and challenges they face in an environment that constantly questions their place. From my perspective as a woman with a military family and as someone who has worked within the institution, I examine how their paths are marked by continuities and contradictions that reinforce gender and power hierarchies, while some of their experiences resist these structures. Through an ethnographic approach, this research delves into the uncomfortable and complex position these women occupy in a hypermasculine institution, reflecting on how their experiences and negotiations sometimes confirm, nuance, and, on occasion, challenge the hierarchies and structures of subordination that shape military life. Ultimately, being a woman in the Army is not only an exception; it is an ongoing struggle to transform that very notion of exceptionality.MaestríaMagíster en Estudios Culturale
