Central state child care policies in postauthoritarian Spain: Implications for gender and carework arrangements
No full textIn Spain, public preschool programs have continuously expanded in the past three decades. However, this education policy has done little to support increases in the proportion of women in the paid workforce. Preschool is not child care because the former does not address the care needed by children younger than three years old and offers programs with short hours and long holidays.Publicad

No full textEl feminismo de Estado en España: El Instituto de la Mujer (1983-2003)
No full textDesde aproximadamente los años setenta se han fundado en la mayor parte de los países del mundo instituciones cuyo principal cometido reside en mejorar la condición de las mujeres como grupo y erosionar las desigualdades entre éstas y los hombres. También se han establecido organismos similares en los ámbitos regional y local. En ciencias sociales este conjunto de instituciones se denomina "feminismo de Estado", "feminismo institucional" o "feminismo oficial", conociéndose como "feministas de Estado" a las personas que trabajan en estos "organismos (o agencias) de igualdad" o "instituciones feministas" (McBride y Mazur 2004, 2; Stetson y Mazur 1995, 1-2).
Jews and gender in British literature 1815-1865.
No full textPhDThis thesis examines the variety of relationships between Jews and gender in early
to mid-nineteenth century British literature, focussing particularly on representations
of and by Jewish women. It reconstructs the social, political and literary context in
which writers produced images and narratives about Jews, and considers to what
extent stereotypes were reproduced, appropriated, or challenged. In particular it
examines the ways in which questions of gender were linked to ideas about religious
or racial difference in the Victorian period.
The study situates literary representations of Jews within the context of
contemporary debates about the participation of the Jews in the life of the modern
state. It also investigates the ways in which these political debates were gendered,
looking in particular at the relationship between the cultural construction of
femininity and English national identity.
It first considers Victorian culture's obsession with Rebecca, the Jewess created in
Walter Scott's influential novel Ivanhoe (1819). It examines Rebecca's refusal to
convert to Christianity in the context of Scott's discussion of racial separatism and
modern national unity.
Evangelical writers like Annie Webb, Amelia Bristow and Mrs Brendlah were
prolific literary producers, and preoccupied with converting Jewish women.
Particularly during the 18'40s and 1850s, evangelical writing provided an important
forum for the construction and consolidation of women's national identity.
Grace Aguilar's writing was an attempt to understand Jewish identity within the
terms of Victorian domestic ideology. In contrast, Celia and Marion Moss, in their
historical romances, offered narratives of female heroism and national liberation,
drawing on the contemporary debate about slavery.
Benjamin Disraeli's construction of a "tough version of Jewish identity was a
response both to the contemporary stereotype of the feminised Jew and to the debate
about Jewish emancipation. It also drew on the virile ideology of the Young England
movement of the 1840s
Diasporas and secessionist conflicts : the mobilization of the Armenian, Albanian and Chechen diasporas
No full textThis article examines the impact of diasporas on secessionist conflicts, focusing on the Albanian, Armenian and Chechen diasporas and the conflicts in Kosovo, Karabakh and Chechnya during the 1990s. How do diasporas radicalize these conflicts? I argue that despite differences in diaspora communal characteristics and the types of the secessionist conflicts, a common pattern of mobilization develops. Large-scale diasporic support for secessionism emerges only after independence is proclaimed by the local elites. From that point onwards diasporas become engaged in a conflict spiral, and transnational coalitions are formed between local secessionist and diaspora groups. Depending on the organizational strength of the local strategic centre and the diasporic institutions, these coalitions endure or dissipate. Diasporas exert radicalization influences on the conflict spiral on two specific junctures – when grave violations of human rights occur in the homeland and when local moderate elites start losing credibility that they can achieve the secessionist goal
Parsons social stratification theory: an architecture of consensus and conflict stabilization
No full textEn primer lugar, delimitamos los conceptos básicos de la teoría general de la acción que sirven de andamiaje a la teoría de la estratificación social de Talcott Parsons. En segundo lugar, identificamos los postulados esenciales de dicha teoría: la conformidad de la acción respecto de los valores colectivos como criterio decisivo de la diferenciación social, la clasificación de tipos de estratificación social en función de las normas de valor predominantes, la definición de una jerarquía individual de sanciones y recompensas, la proporcionalidad entre mérito y recompensa, entre otros. En tercer lugar, damos cuenta de la particular interpretación que elabora el autor respecto del sistema de estratificación de las sociedades modernas industrializadas y hacemos foco en su noción de status de clase y en la introducción del problema del poder a la hora de explicar las estratificaciones empíricas. En cuarto lugar, analizamos los argumentos parsonianos destinados a desdibujar la existencia de las clases y del conflicto en las sociedades industrializadas. Finalmente, exponemos nuestras conclusiones y relacionamos esta teoría de la estratificación con algunos principios básicos de la ideología liberal y neo-liberal dominante.First, we limit the basic concepts of the general theory of action that serves as point of departure to Talcott Parsons theory of social stratification. Second, we identify the basic tenets of this theory: the conformity of action on collective values as a decisive criterion of social differentiation, the classification of types of social stratification based on prevailing norms , the definition of an individual hierarchy of sanctions and rewards , the proportionality between merit and reward, among others. Third, we approach the particular interpretation elaborated by the author regarding the stratification system of modern industrialized societies and we focus on the notion of class status and the introduction of the problem of power in explaining empirical stratifications. Fourth, we analyze the Parsonian arguments aimed at blurring the existence of classes and conflict in industrialized societies. Finally, we present our findings and relate this theory of stratification with some basic principles of liberal and neo - liberal ruling ideology.Fil: Duek, Maria Celia.

Las niñas, la rebeldía y la política
No full textEsta tesina aparte de la observación de que en la literatura del siglo pasado existen varios personajes niñas que rompen con la imagen de una niña como débil y frágil. La hipótesis de este estudio es que hay un personaje estereotípico de una niña rebelde en diferentes tipos de obras publicadas en el siglo XX, que tienen crítica política. Las obras usadas en la investigación son Celia, lo que dice de la escritora española Elena Fortún, Pippi Calzaslargas de la escritora sueca Astrid Lindgren y 10 años con Mafalda del escritor argentino Quino. Los dos primeros son libros infantiles y la tercera obra es un conjunto de tiras de prensa para adultos. Para el análisis de las obras, los conceptos que siguen han sido usados: el esquema sobre características estereotípicas masculinas y femeninas de personajes de Maria Nikolajeva, y el concepto “la chica rara” de Carmen Martín Gaite. El análisis muestra que los tres personajes principales tienen características tanto masculinas como femeninas y cada personaje tiene sus propias características, Celia es hermosa, Pippi es fuerte y Mafalda es analizante. Además, los personajes tienen las características de rebeldía y cuestionamiento y las obras contienen crítica social y política.
