Fuzzy Similarity and Counterfactuals in the Assessment of Default Risk: the Eurozone Crisis and the Argentinean Solution
No full textWe present an approach, based on the notion of fuzzy similarity, to the comparison of economies under default risk. We run a counterfactual analysis of the perspectives of the most troubled countries in the Eurozone compared with Argentina in 2001. This allows us to assess the possibility that these economies will end up following the path of Argentina.Fil: Pazzi, Jorge. Universidad Nacional del Sur.

A Fuzzy Characterization of Uncertainty in Financial Crises
No full textThe so-called first and second generation models focus on fundamentals as the main cause of a crisis. During the 1990s many developing economies underwent structural reforms, which lead to an improvement of those fundamentals. Hence, at that time, the stability of the domestic financial systems seemed basically guaranteed. However, this confidence was shattered by the outbreak of the financial crises of the second half of the decade. Some of them were certainly due to weak fundamentals in the affected economies. But other crises seemed to be engen-dered just because of wrong or misleading perceptions on the part of economic agents. The paper argues that a main source for these misperceptions is the way in which agents hedge their funds, on the basis of their assessment of the inner workings of the financial system. To support this claim, a simple model with a fuzzy measure of the risk of assets is introduced.Fil: Pazzi, Jorge Horacio. Universidad Nacional del Sur.

Miradas Al Sur: a criação mitológica do bairro sur na obra de Jorge Luis Borges
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2014Este estudo investiga como Jorge Luis Borges constrói o Sur como espaço mítico, em seus três primeiros livros de poesia. Para tanto, analisou-se de que forma a representação de tal espaço torna-o simbólico e, posteriormente, mítico, tanto no conjunto da obra do autor, como também, a partir desse movimento individual de Borges, no imaginário coletivo da cidade. Estudou-se ainda como a memória própria e o imaginário criaram espaços afetivos, que permeiam a totalidade dos textos do autor.Abstract: This study investigates how Jorge Luis Borges builds Sur neighborhood as mythic space in his first three books of poetry. To this end, we analyzed how the representation of such a space make of it a symbolic and later a mythical space, both in the overall work of the author, but also that individual movement of Borges that achieve the collective imagination of the city. Still we have studied how the personal memory and the imagery is able to create emotional spaces, which constitute the totality of texts by the author
Enlaces: memória e subjetividades no acervo Jorge Amado
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2015.O objetivo central da minha dissertação é apresentar o resultado das relações afetivas constituídas e apreendidas no Acervo Jorge Amado (NuLIME). A minha subjetividade foi ao encontro da memória material das cartas destinadas ou remetidas por dois comunistas: Juan e Joaquim. A leitura delas me permitiu ressignificar a questão da autoria e da literatura epistolar. O trabalho, em parte, foi apresentado como cartas. A escrita, situada no limite entre ficcional e factual, faz referências ao contexto político e social do Brasil no período da ditadura de Vargas. O trabalho está inserido no contexto específico da memória e da narrativa dos comunistas e perseguidos políticos que viveram esta fase da vida intelectual, social, política e literária brasileira.Abstract : My dissertation´s main objective is to present the result of the affective relations constituted and apprehended from Jorge Amado´s collection (NuLIME). My subjectivity is connected to the material memory of the letters destined or posted by two communists: Juan and Joaquim. Reading them has enabled me to reframe the questions of authorship and epistolary literature. The work was partially presented as letters. The writing, classified in between fictional and factual, refers to the social and political context and to the narrative from communists and political persecuted who lived this period of Brazilian intellectual, social, political and literary life
Dancing with Napster: Predictable consumer behavior in the New Digital Economy
No full textThe Internet is often characterized as a "disruptive technology," as recently argued by the music industry against Napster and by Sony against PC emulations of its PlayStation. Three questions are raised: 1) How much does the Internet replace traditional media? 2) As another information channel, does the Internet supplement traditional media? 3) How much do Internet users navigate the Web in order to download relevant information goods (news, music, movies) as part of their consumption and purchase strategies?Data from the Pew Internet and American Life Project are used to test two competing hypotheses: 1) Easily copied and distributed digital content encouragesconsumers to exploit the "information wants to be free" character of the Internet, thereby hampering the growth of the market for information goods and services, and 2)Information consumers practice a sophisticated arbitrage process across different media, by weighing the value of online and offline information and thereby reinforcing active participation in the electronic marketplace. The efforts of the music industry to obstruct the downloading of MP3s may represent a serious misunderstanding of consumer arbitrage practices, much as book publishers characterize library use as a threat to book sales. Policy implications of thiswork extend into ongoing public and corporate policy debates about digital content and intellectual property.The original publication is available at: http://www.stanford.edu/group/siqss/itandsociety/v01i02/v01i02a11.pd
Ethics of dust:visual essay on the artistic works by Jorge Otero-Pailos
No full textThe works of artist and preservation architect Jorge Otero-Pailos on experimental preservation provoke deep reflections about some of the fundamental questions dealing with heritage: temporality of objects, changeability of inscribed cultural values, the greater purpose of architectural preservation as a cultural practice, and the societal role of an architect and preservationist in formulating narratives around heritage. As the artistic installations featured in this visual essay — The Ethics of Dust (2014–2016) and Watershed Moment (2020) — demonstrate, Jorge Otero-Pailos combines various elusive elements, such as water sounds and dust, to conceive meditative and contemplative spaces. His installations invite visitors to pause and reflect on the memories, both personal, social, and environmental, that define each of us; they probe deep into the past and deep into the future.Since these are some of the issues we wanted to explore in this special issue, ‘Embodiment and Meaning-making: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Heritage Architecture’, we invited various artists and scholars to write a very short caption in reaction to the images provided by the author through one of these three ‘lenses’:- affect, embodied experience, atmosphere;- politics of heritage;- processes of meaning-making.The results reveal the power of images to provoke imagination through atmospheric and embodied experiences, and the power of experimental heritage work to convey (political) meaning across distance and different analogue or digital media.This visual essay includes contributions from (in order of appearance): Tenna Doktor Olsen Tvedebrink, Federico De Matteis, Michael Hirschbichler, Jovana Popić, Maria De Piedade Ferreira, Uta Pottgiesser, Marcus Weisen and Brady Wagoner, with an epilogue from Jorge Otero-Pailos.Situated ArchitectureHeritage & Technolog

Jorge Vinatea Reinoso. Una propuesta indigenista en su lenguaje pictórico [Capítulo 1]
No full textLa publicación es una investigación sobre la propuesta indigenista encontrada en el lenguaje pictórico de las obras del reconocido pintor arequipeño Jorge Vinatea Reinoso. La autora del libro, Philarine Villanueva, se enfoca en el análisis del espacio cultural andino de las obras del artista y cómo su visión personal buscó destacar la imagen de hombres y mujeres de la sierra sur del Perú en sus pinturas, por medio de técnicas pictóricas que priorizan la presencia de sus personajes y las acciones de sus vidas cotidianas.
El libro presenta, en una primera parte, un recuento histórico sobre la producción artística de Jorge Vinatea Reinoso y en su contexto social, político y cultural. En la segunda parte, la autora, mediante el análisis de las pinturas A Amancaes, Tantahuasi y Caballitos de totora, deconstruye el estilo pictórico del pintor y cómo las estructuras, trazos y colores responden a su propia cosmovisión andina. Finalmente, se explican los hallazgos de las composiciones dinámicas de las obras analizadas y la manera en que estas logran generar una experiencia sensorial sobre un indigenismo crítico y endógeno.The publication is a research about the indigenist proposal found in the pictorial language of the works by Jorge Vinatea Reinoso, renowned painter from Arequipa. The book's author, Philarine Villanueva, focuses on the analysis of the Andean cultural space in his works and how his personal view sought to spotlight the image of Peru's southern highlands men and women in his paintings using pictorial techniques that feature the characters and their daily activities. In the first part of the book, there is a historical review of Jorge Vinatea Reinoso's artistic production and its social, political, and cultural background. In the second part, through the analysis of the A Amancaes, Tantahuasi and Caballitos de totora paintings, the author deconstructs the painter's pictorial style and how the structures, strokes, and colors respond to his own Andean world view. Finally, the findings about the dynamic compositions of the analyzed paintings are explained, as well as the way they manage to generate a sensory experience regarding critical and endogenous indigenism
