Los contextos sociales e institucionales de una economía monástica: Santa María de Montederramo en el siglo XIII
No full textEditada en la Fundación Empresa PúblicaLa autora se pregunta por las causas de la consolidación y pervivencia
de formas institucionales ineficientes desde un punto de vista económico. Se
estudia un caso concreto: el monasterio cisterciense de Santa María de Montederramo
(Orense) en el siglo XIII para poner en evidencia la existencia de
marcos institucionales formales e informales definidores de la acción de unos
agentes cuyos intereses se construyeron en el proceso de interacción social,
es decir, en contextos socio-culturales determinados y no como fruto de la
limitación institucional sobre la naturaleza maximizadora de agentes extemporales.
En primer lugar, el artículo presenta las paradojas en los debates
clásicos sobre el Císter. Atendiendo a la Regla de la Orden, se acepta que
el Císter perseguía varios objetivos: la compactación de las parcelas adquiridas,
la tenencia en régimen de propiedad no compartida y la explotación de la
tierra con mano de obra propia. A partir del caso elegido se reflexiona sobre
la distancia entre los principios teóricos de la Orden y la morfología diversa
de los señoríos y sus formas de gestión práctica. Se concluye que los monasterios
se convirtieron en aparatos acumuladores de bienes invirtiendo recursos
según criterios de reciprocidad, redistribución, identidad y estableciendo redes
con las comunidades o con algunos de sus miembros destacados. En este
compacto entramado de dinámicas sociales y mentales se fueron configurando
sus formas económicas.The author searches into the reasons for the perpetuation in inefficient
institutions. The monastery in Sta. María de Montederramo (Orense, Galicia)
in the 13th century lets to underline the existence of formal and informal
institutions defíning agents' cholees whose interests are building up in the
process of social interaction. Moreover those interests emerge within
socio-cultural context, rather than as the outcome of the institutional
constreints over a given nature as profit maximazers. The article reviews the
classical debate about the Cister. Given the Rule of the Order it is argued
that Cistercians pursued the organization of coherent territorial estates,
exclusive property rights over the land and own labour force. Working on
the case-study, the gap between the theoretical principie of the Order and
the specif management and contractual agreements about land tenancy are
considered. The conclusion puts forward that monasteries were devices of
accumulation because they developed practices of reciprocity, redistribution
and identity within the peasant communities and through the organization
of personal and social networks with some of the outstanding members of
the local community. In the tied web of social and cultural dynamics, the
economic patterns were hammered out.Publicad
Historic sociology and international relations: Notes for a balance
No full textEl autor hace un repaso de las principales aportaciones de la Sociología Histórica con la intención de examinar cómo repercuten en la teoría de Relaciones Internacionales. De este modo, Pastor analiza las teorías de la “modernización” con Tilly a la cabeza, el modelo de organización de poder de Mann y la propuesta de “sociología mundial” de Hobden y Hobson; enfatizando en cada caso su manera de acercarse al concepto de estado y de globalización.
En última instancia, el autor remarca la valía de la Sociología Histórica y apuesta por su necesaria aplicación en el ámbito de las Relaciones Internacionales, dado que estos enfoques pluridisciplinares favorecen revertir hábitos como el etnocentrismo y dimensionar el papel de la Historia, entre otras virtudesThe author reviews the main achievements of Historical Sociology in order to examine how they impact the theory of International Relations. Pastor therefore analyses the “modernization” theories led by Tilly, the organization of power model by Mann, and the “global sociology” framework proposed by Hobden and Hobson. In each case, the author analyzes how these theories approach concepts such as the State and Globalization. Finally, the author confirms the suitability of Historical Sociology and emphasizes the importance of its applicability in the field of International Relations, explaining that multi-disciplinary approaches encourage the avoidance of habits such as ethnocentrism and they reinforce the role of Histor
Author gender identification for Urdu articles
No full textThis is an accepted manuscript of an article published by Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer Science on 21/09/2022. The accepted version of the publication may differ from the final published versionIn recent years, author gender identification has gained considerable attention in the fields of computational linguistics and artificial intelligence. This task has been extensively investigated for resource-rich languages such as English and Spanish. However, researchers have not paid enough attention to perform this task for Urdu articles. Firstly, I created a new Urdu corpus to perform the author gender identification task. I then extracted two types of features from each article including the most frequent 600 multi-word expressions and the most frequent 300 words. After I completed the corpus creation and features
extraction processes, I performed the features concatenation process. As a result each article was represented in a 900D feature space. Finally, I applied 10 different well-known classifiers to these features to perform the author gender identification task and compared their performances against state-of-the-art pre-trained multilingual language models, such as mBERT, DistilBERT, XLM-RoBERTa and multilingual DeBERTa, as well as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). I conducted extensive experimental studies which show that (i) using the most frequent 600 multi-word expressions as features and concatenating them with the most frequent 300 words as features improves the accuracy of the author gender identification task, and (ii) support vector machines outperforms other classifiers, as well as fine-tuned pre-trained language models and CNN. The code base and the corpus can be found at: https://github.com/raheem23/Gender_Identification_Urdu

Resgate e leitura da poetisa Nieves López Pastor: um olhar dissidente sobre sua vida e obra
No full textThe writer Nieves López Pastor (1901-1978) has not received any observation by critics and academic researchers, even though she was well known in her birth town, Cabra, and in Villanueva del Arzobispo, where she was teacher till her oldness. This study offers the results of an archive research about the life of the author, exposing unknown data which constitutes a key for giving new readings about her work. Also, we offer an analysis of her poems since a theorical perspective based on gender, sexuality and ecofeminism. As consequence of this study, we can find a connection between some occult facts of her private life and a queer reading of her works.La figura de Nieves López Pastor (1901-1978) ha pasado inadvertida para la crítica y la investigación académica, pues, únicamente fue conocida en los ámbitos locales de su ciudad natal, Cabra, y de Villanueva del Arzobispo, donde ejerció como docente hasta su vejez.

O PUDOR COMO PASTOR DO SER: REFLEXÕES SOBRE A SEXUALIDADE EM CHAVE PERSONALÍSTICA
No full textPartindo de uma reflexão fenomenológica em chave personalística, o autor propõe a leitura do pudor em duas direções fundamentais. Por um lado, o pudor intervém em situações de “crise”, revelando um lado obscuro do eros. Por outro lado, ele não se limita a ser um “freio” ou um “sinal de perigo”, antes revela o outro e o si mesmo como não redutíveis a puro-objeto-de prazer. Assim, retira do ser-outro o véu da objetivação à qual é reduzido quem é objeto de um olhar despudorado. Nesse sentido, o autor propõe, contra a concepção banal e redutiva da sexualidade, uma resgate do pudor próprio como guardião e pastor do núcleo irredutível da pessoa e de sua dignidade.
ABSTRACT: From the perspective of a phenomenological reflection in a personalista approach, the author proposes an interpretation of pudency in two fundamental directions. On the one hand, modesty intervenes in situations of “crisis”, revealing the dark side of eros. On the other hand, it is not a “brake” nor a “signal of danger”, but rather it reveals the other and the self as not limited to a purelypleasure-object. So, it takes away the veil of objectification from the other-being who was reduced to an object of a wanton stare. In this sense, against a banal and reductive conception of sexuality, the author proposes a retrieval of self prudency as a guardian and shepherd of the person’s irreducible core and dignity
ENTRE NARRATIVAS E IMAGENS: TRILHANDO PASSOS
No full textIn this paper we analyze the literary production of Julia Lopes de Almeida , which coincides with his life, delineated by the intensity of the relations that remained in the family, society and art. I assume that the fictional production of the author is also permeated by history, that recorded by historians and author of the memoir, which in turn are part of the collective memory of society and the time lived by it. En este trabajo se analiza la producción literaria de Julia Lopes de Almeida, que coincide con su vida, delineado por la intensidad de las relaciones que había quedado en la familia, la sociedad y el arte. Asumo que la producción de ficción del autor también está impregnado de historia, que se registró por historiadores y autor del libro de memorias, que a su vez forman parte de la memoria colectiva de la sociedad y el tiempo vivido por ella. Neste trabalho analisamos a produção literária de Julia Lopes de Almeida , que se confunde com sua vida, delineada pela intensidade das relações que manteve na família, na sociedade e na arte. Partimos do pressuposto de que a produção ficcional da autora está permeada também pela história, aquela registrada pelos historiadores e por memórias da autora, que por sua vez fazem parte da memória coletiva da sociedade e da época vivida por ela
Recognizing religious minority rights: a key tool to managing pluralism in the European Court of Human Rights
No full textThe article examines how the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) engages with the rights of religious minorities within the framework of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Despite the absence of explicit provisions for minority rights in the ECHR, the Court has navigated this gap by leveraging the principles of pluralism and diversity. The analysis reveals a complex interplay between individual and group rights, highlighting both the progress and limitations in the ECtHR's jurisprudence.
The author introduces a theoretical framework to categorize religious minority rights, emphasizing the intrinsic and collective dimensions of these rights. The article critiques the ECtHR for inconsistent rulings, particularly when religious expressions conflict with state interests such as secularism or public order. Furthermore, it underscores the challenges of balancing individual autonomy with the collective identity of religious groups. By dissecting key rulings, the article exposes the Court's struggles with protecting "uncomfortable diversities," such as Islamic practices, while upholding democratic values. The article concludes by advocating for a more empathetic and pluralistic approach in adjudicating religious minority rights. It calls for the ECtHR to transcend stereotypes and abstract principles, fostering a legal landscape that values diversity and inclusivity as pillars of a democratic society. This shift, the author argues, is essential for respecting the rights and dignity of all, and for achieving a genuine coexistence of plural identities in Europe.Depto. de Derecho Internacional, Eclesiástico y Filosofía del DerechoFac. de DerechoTRUEpu
"El uso del gerundio en algunas obras de Galdós"
No full textThe goal of this article is, mainly, to analyze the non-periphrastic gerund of Spanish in two works by Benito Pérez Galdós: La desheredada and Realidad. The gerund begins with its own definition, its adjetival and adverbial character, the contexts where it occurs frequently and the way that are conceived both by the author from Canary Islands and the current speaking people. In the case of Realidad, has been taken into consideration a translation into Italian and, from a contrastive perspective, it has been observed, in the text rendered text into Italian, the periphrastic gerund (and non-periphrastic) has different usages with regard to Spanish
