Obstacles to Sustaining Diversity: Historical Context and Current Experiences of Underrepresented Minority Women and Men in Sociology and Economics
No full textWhite men predominate in the top ranks of the professorate, but recent efforts have attempted to decrease inequality and increase diversity in the academy by hiring more faculty, especially women of color. Have equality and diversity efforts worked or has negative departmental climate limited efforts to make diversity sustainable? Despite the long history of and many contributions by women of color (URC) as public intellectuals, activists, and founders of organizations to promote Blacks and Latino/a people, we find that much of their work is still marginalized and is not viewed as legitimate science. This treatment may lessen the ability to increase equality and sustain diversity in academic institutions. The paper tests whether URC women scholars are still experiencing inequalities in comparison to their male peers of color in two disciplines, that of sociology and economics. We include these two disciplines because of similarities in origin and of topics. First, we hypothesize that women of color have significantly more negative experiences in sociology and economics departments than do men of color, when other conditions are held constant. Second, we hypothesize that structural conditions, are related to experiential outcomes for these scholars. Third, we hypothesize that participation in minority-oriented organizations improves women of color’s experiences. Fourth, we hypothesize that interacting gender with participation in minority-oriented organizations, significantly improves women of color’s situation. The study results show that women of color continue to experience greater problems of access, marginality, inclusion, and harassment in sociology and economics departments. The sustainable development goals of achieving gender equality and increase educational opportunities cannot be achieve without addressing these inequities and inclusion issues
Značilnosti kratke proze Roberta Bolaña
Get PDFDiplomsko delo skuša podati celosten pregled vseh štirih zbirk kratkih zgodb Roberta Bolaña in predstaviti glavne značilnosti njegove kratke proze. V večini zgodb zasledimo lik Artura Belana, Bolañevega alter ega, ki nastopa kot pripovedovalec, protagonist ali sekundarna oseba. Intertekstualnost je verjetno najpomembnejša lastnost celotne Bolañeve proze, avtor pa s konkretnimi primeri predstavi različne tipe intertekstualnosti, ki se pojavljajo v zgodbah. V zgodbi Sensini gre za poklon argentinskemu pisatelju Antoniu Di Benedettiju, v Beležki plesov (Carnet de baile) pa za kritiko Nerude in parodiranje biblične oblike besedila. V Podganjem policaju (El policía de las ratas) Bolaño prenese dogajalni prostor iz Kafkine zgodbe Pevka Jožefina ali mišji rod in variira temo umetnikove usode, v zgodbi Neznosni gaučo (El gaucho insufrible) pa gre za variacijo toposa civilizacija - barbarstvo, značilnega za južnoameriško književnost. Avtor v delu govori tudi o intermedialnosti med filmom in kratko prozo Roberta Bolaña, za konec pa analizira motive samote tekom umetnikovega ustvarjanja.Undergraduate thesis attempts to present an overview of Roberto Bolaño\u27s four short story collections and its most important characteristics. In the majority of the stories we come across Bolaño\u27s alter ego, a character named Arturo Belano, in the role of narrator, protagonist or secondary character. Intertextuality is probably the most importatnt characteristic of Bolaño\u27s prose and author\u27s goal is to present examples of different types of intertextuality in the stories. The story Sensini pays homage to Argentinian writer Antonio Di Benedetti, meanwhile Dance card mocks Neruda and parodies biblical text form. In the Police rat Bolaño borrows fictional world from Kafka\u27s Josephine the singer, or the mouse folk and writes a variation on the theme of artist\u27s fate. Author also writes about the variation of the famous South American literary topos (civilization - barbarity) which appears in the story The insufferable gaucho. Besides all that, this thesis talks about connection between film and Bolaño\u27s short stories and finishes with the analysis of the motive of loneliness in different periods of Bolaño\u27s work
Family altruism and incentives
Get PDFThe author builds on the altruistic model of the family, to explore the strategic interaction between altruistic parents, and selfish children, when children's efforts are endogenous. If there is uncertainty about the amount of income the children will realize, and if parents have imperfect information, the children have an incentive to exert little effort, and to rely on their parent's altruistically motivated transfers. Because of this, parents face a tradeoff between the insurance that bequests implicitly provide their children, and the disincentive to work prompted by their altruism. The author shows that if parents can credibly commit to a pattern of transfers, they will choose not to compensate children in bad outcomes, as much as predicted by the standard (no uncertainty, no asymmetric information) dynastic model of the family. Alternatively, parents may choose to forgo any insurance, and offer a fixed level of bequest, to elicit greater effort from their children. The optimal transfers structure that the author derives, reconciles the predictions of the altruistic family model, with much of the existing evidence on inter-generational transfers, which suggests that parents compensate only partially, or not at all, for earnings differentials among their children. Moreover, the author shows that Ricardian equivalence holds in this setup, except when non-negativity constraints are binding.Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Economics&Finance,Educational Sciences,Safety Nets and Transfers

A imagem de Alessandro Baricco no Brasil
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2013.Com a intenção de delinear o modo pelo qual o escritor italiano Alessandro Baricco se inseriu no sistema literário brasileiro e os caminhos percorridos pelos seus livros traduzidos, esta dissertação dá voz às experiências tradutórias de seus tradutores. A inserção de Bariccono Brasil tem seu início em 1997, através de uma proposição da Profa. Dra. Roberta Barni à editora Iluminuras da tradução de Oceano Mare. A partir daí, outras sete obras foram publicadas no Brasil, sendo três delas traduzidas por Roberta Barni e as outras quatro por quatro tradutores diferentes. De um lado, considera-se o tradutor como figura principal namediação entre culturas, e, de outro, se analisa a realidade desta figuradentro do sistema literário, sua invisibilidade, seus limites e o exercíciode sua profissão. A pesquisa conta, ainda, com críticas e resenhas referentes ao autor italiano publicadas em jornais consagrados no Brasil, considerando estas como parte constituinte da imagem de Baricco refletida em território nacional. Abstract : Intending to delineate the way the Italian writer Alessandro Baricco has been inserted in the Brazilian literary system and the paths his translated books have followed, this thesis gives voice to the translating experiences of his translators. Baricco's insertion in Brazil began in 1997, through a personal project of Dr. Roberta Barni, with her translation of Oceano Mare. Since then, seven other of his works have been published in Brazil, three of which were translated by Roberta Barni and the other four by four different translators. On the one hand,the translator is considered as the main figure in mediation betweencultures and, on the other, this figure's reality is analyzed within theliterary system: its invisibility, its limits and its professional practice. Criticisms and reviews of this Italian author published in well established Brazilian newspapers are also considered, with the understanding that they are part of Baricco's image reflected here
