The War on Terrorism: Appropriation and Subversion by Moroccan Women
No full textThe author focuses on the war on terrorism in Morocco. The author reports that after a terrorist attack in the city of Casablanca in 2003, the Moroccan government took steps to approach terrorism in a similar fashion to the U.S. According to the author, the discourse of the war is connected to discourses of democratization and modernity, which has an impact on the relationship of Moroccan women to the war. The author discusses feminist and Islamist women's groups who appropriate the discourse of the war to advocate for women's rights and gender issues. The author addresses such topics as feminist studies on the war and international relations, resistance to the war, and rhetoric.Peer reviewe
More collectives, less differences: Unveiling unexpected social changes in a groundwater economy in the middle atlas, Morocco

The present study analyses social changes in a rural community as it entered and evolved in a groundwater economy, and today increasingly has to cope with groundwater depletion. The case study was conducted in the Middle Atlas region of Morocco, where marked social, economic and political differences habitually separated ethnic fractions. Farmers created several collectives to access groundwater resources and support the marketing of newly irrigated crops. Thanks to this new groundwater economy, the social and economic positions of previously marginalised fractions caught up with those of the historically favoured fractions. The basis on which farmers' collectives were organised had evolved and crossed lines between ethnic fractions. The social configurations at local level, which are often considered to influence agrarian change and actors' relations concerning water resources, actually evolve with them. These configurations have a major influence on the dynamics of farmers' collectives. Therefore, paying attention to evolving social configurations at local level is important if the aim is to involve farmers' collectives in the search for governance models to achieve sustainable groundwater use

Recognizing Perceived Interdependence in Face-to-Face Negotiations through Multimodal Analysis of Nonverbal Behavior
No full textEnabling computer-based applications to display intelligent behavior in complex social settings requires them to relate to important aspects of how humans experience and understand such situations. One crucial driver of peoples' social behavior during an interaction is the interdependence they perceive, i.e., how the outcome of an interaction is determined by their own and others' actions. According to psychological studies, both the nonverbal behavior displayed by Motivated by this, we present a series of experiments to automatically recognize interdependence perceptions in dyadic face-to-face negotiations using these sources. Concretely, our approach draws on a combination of features describing individuals' Facial, Upper Body, and Vocal Behavior with state-of-the-art algorithms for multivariate time series classification. Our findings demonstrate that differences in some types of interdependence perceptions can be detected through the automatic analysis of nonverbal behaviors. We discuss implications for developing socially intelligent systems and opportunities for future research.</p
