Sounding underground: listening, performing and transforming the commuting experience
No full textIn 1997 the creation of a virtual underground was somehow a bizarre idea that the author attempted to realize. First, the representation of metaphors of a metro in a multimedia format opened ideas of what could be possible to achieve on the Internet, e.g. how sound fragments uploaded by different people could run on the same navigational interface and what this mixture is telling us about our urban culture. How does it sound?
Listening was the practice selected to perceive the whole of space and time relationships within a journey, and how these resonate with each individual. First in London, and later interconnecting the experience with Mexico and Paris, the author followed a mixed ethnographic method with commuters in each city, involving them in reflective and performative listening practices.
Sounding Underground is the resulting interface that links the three cities’ metros, along with their cultures, evoking social, symbolic and political perceptions for each listener. The process followed by participants, and the interaction with the environment by users on the Internet, have opened paths for the acknowledgement and transformation of this experience, as each underground sonic journey becomes potentially a metaphor of a commuter’s life
Feminismos de segunda onda no Cone Sul problematizando o trabalho doméstico (1970 - 1989)
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2010Meu objeto de estudo são os feminismos do que foi classificado como Segunda Onda Feminista, mais especificamente os do Cone Sul. E foi através desses feminismos que a questão do trabalho doméstico como um problema me chamou a atenção. A relação entre mulheres e trabalho doméstico, ainda que afirmada pelos feminismos e pelos estudos de gênero como culturalmente construída, tem seu principal aporte na idéia de aturalização dessas funções. A família e em especial a maternidade se mostram como as principais legitimadoras de tal relação, que traz em si o peso de séculos de reafirmação de que #ser mulher# é ter cuidado, reclusão, dedicação, paciência; é se voltar à esfera privada, é ser esposa e ser mãe. Nesta pesquisa me propus a escrever uma história da discussão em torno do trabalho e do emprego domésticos nos feminismos de Segunda Onda do Cone Sul, utilizando como fonte as produções impressas desses feminismos, sobretudo periódicos. São jornais feministas produzidos # ou que circularam # na Argentina, Bolívia, Brasil, Chile, Paraguai e Uruguai. É importante destacar que o meu recorte temporal é dado pelas fontes utilizadas e que, através delas, busco estabelecer uma discussão a respeito da problematização do trabalho doméstico nos feminismos de Segunda Onda no Cone Sul, partindo de uma perspectiva historiográfica, inserida nos estudos feministas e de gênero, com o apoio de bibliografia tanto contemporânea aos documentos utilizados quanto atual. A dissertação se divide em duas partes, a primeira referente às problematizações a respeito do trabalho doméstico feminino, aquele da dona de casa, e a segunda referente às problematizações do emprego doméstico feminino, referente à empregada doméstica. Na pesquisa pude observar que grande parte das problematizações a respeito da questão, nos periódicos consultados, são comuns nos diferentes países e, de forma geral, envolvem questões complexas como as esferas pública e privada, questões de gênero e intragênero, de raça e/ou etnia e de manutenção de valores tradicionais.The feminisms of what was called the Second-wave, more specifically the Southern Cone ones, are the object of my study. And it was through these feminisms that the issue of housework as a problem caught my attention. The relation between women and housework, even though affirmed by the feminisms and the gender studies as culturally built, has its main contribution in the naturalization of these functions. Family and specially motherhood show themselves as the main legitimizers of this relation, that brings itself the weight of centuries of reaffirmation that #being a woman# means taking care, reclusion, dedication, patience; means turning to the private sphere, being a wife and a mother. In this research I had the purpose of writing a history of the discussion about the housework and domestic labour in the Second-wave feminisms of Southern Cone, using as source the printed production of these feminisms, mostly periodicals. These are feminists newspapers produced # or that circulated # in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. It is important to note that the specified period is given by the sources I have used and, through them, I intend to settle a discussion about the problematization of the domestic work in Southern Cone Second-wave feminisms, starting from a historiographic perspective inserted in the feminist and gender studies, with the support of bibliography contemporary to the applied documents and current bibliography. The dissertation is divided in two parts: first refers to the problematizations about female housework, the housekeeper one, and second refers to the problematizations of female domestic labour, refering to the domestic employee. During the research it was possible to observe that many problematizations on this issue, in the consulted periodicals, are common in the different countries and generally involve complex issues as public and private spheres, gender and intra-gender issues, of race and/or ethnicity and of maintenance of traditional values
Robustness of complex supply chain networks to targeted attacks
No full textThesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2018.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 65-67).In this thesis, we study the robustness of complex supply chain systems from a network science perspective. Through the simulation of targeted attacks to nodes and edges using different hierarchical measures from network science to select the most relevant components, we evaluate the extent to which local centrality measures can estimate the relevance of a node in maintaining the connectivity and the efficient communication across the network. We perform the experiments on two real-world supply chain data sets, and on an ensemble of networks generated from network growth models that share simple topological properties with the real-world networks. It is found that all models produce more robust networks than the data sets of choice. In addition, the removal of high average neighbor degree nodes seems to have little impact on the connectivity of the network, and a highly varying impact on the efficiency of the network. Finally, robustness against targeted node and edge removal is found to be more associated to the number of nodes and links in the network than to more complex network measures such as the degree distribution.by María Ximena Rueda Guerrero.M.

Estudio integrado tierra-mar de la Neotectonica y Paleosismología de la falla de Carboneras (Béticas Orientales, SE Península Ibérica)
No full textMemoria de tesis doctoral presentada por Ximena Moreno Mota para optar al grado de Doctora en Geología por la Universitat de Barcelona (UB) dentro del programa de Ciències de la Terra para el bienio 2005-2006, realizada bajo la dirección de la Dra. Eulàlia Masana Closa de la Universitat de Barcelona (UB) y de la Dra. Eulàlia Gràcia Mont de la Unitat de Tecnologia Marina (UTM-CSIC)La paleosismología trata del estudio de los grandes terremotos prehistóricos con el objetivo de extender el catálogo sísmico atrás en el tiempo. Esto es especialmente importante en regiones donde las tasas de deslizamiento son lentas y los periodos de recurrencia largos, regiones en las cuales el catálogo sísmico no llega a abarcar un ciclo sísmico completo (Santanach y Masana, 2001). Además, la incertidumbre en la localización de terremotos históricos suele ser importante, y más aún cuando el epicentro se localiza en mar, lo cual dificulta la relación entre terremotos históricos y estructuras concretas. Si queremos estar preparados para futuros terremotos, es imprescindible detectar y caracterizar todas las posibles fuentes sísmicas de una región, incluyendo aquellas que no hayan roto durante el periodo histórico. [...]The author of the thesis benefited from a four-year National CSIC-I3P PhD fellowship (I3P-BPD2004) between 2005 and 2008. Within the framework of the I3P program, three short-stay grants allowed the author to complement her study at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in Menlo Park, San Francisco (CA, USA) in 2006 (3 months), at the Oregon University in Corvallis (OR, USA) in 2007 (1.5 months), and at the Geological and Nuclear Sciences Institute (GNS) in Wellington (New Zealand) in 2008 (6 months). The data used in this work was acquired and interpreted within the framework of Spanish Plan Nacional I+D+I Projects IMPULS (REN 2003-05996-MAR) funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología (MCYT), and EVENT, consisting of two sub-projects (CGL2006-12861-C02-01 (land) and CGL2006-12861-C02-02 (marine)) funded by the Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia (MEC). In addition, the work was also supported by the Consolider-Ingenio 2010 program under the “Topo-Iberia” project (CSD 2006-0004). The COCSABO-MEC allocated ship-time on national large-scale facilities, such as the RV Hesperides, RV Garcia del Cid and RV Sarmiento del Gamboa, which allowed carrying out the IMPULS (2006), EVENT-SHELF (2008) and EVENT-DEEP (2010) marine cruises. The Acción Complementaria “Trincheras” (CGL2004-20214-E) of the MCYT enabled the performance of an extensive trenching survey and a subsequent dating analysis. Acciones complementarias “Streamer” (CTM2004-21203-E), “EVENT-Shelf” (CTM2008-03346-E/MAR) and “Sparker” (CTM2008-03208-E/MAR) from the MEC made it possible renting specific high-resolution seismic equipments to achieve the resolution required in marine paleoseismologyPeer Reviewe
Políticas para la difusión del Patrimonio y prácticas de gestión en exposiciones internacionales: INAH, 1994-2006
No full textTesis para optar por el grado de maestría en MuseologíaLas exposiciones temporales evidencian la tensión que existe entre dos funciones principales del museo: exhibición-conservación. Esta tensión aumenta cuando se trata de proyectos internacionales en los que las colecciones viajan largas distancias y son manipuladas en diversas etapas del proyecto. Los museos tienen gran responsabilidad sobre la custodia de sus colecciones y por ello han desarrollado protocolos y áreas de trabajo especializadas para su cuidado. Dicha responsabilidad aumenta cuando los museos pertenecen a administraciones gubernamentales que utilizan recursos públicos. En México, en donde la difusión del patrimonio está centralizada en las instituciones que tutelan la cultura, estas actividades se inscriben en el ámbito de las políticas culturales públicas que rigen su quehacer.
Pero, ¿cómo se decide a qué lugares enviar exposiciones? ¿Cuáles proyectos se aceptan y cuáles se rechazan? ¿Con base en qué fundamentos se realiza el programa de trabajo asociado a las exposiciones internacionales? ¿Cuáles son las implicaciones para la protección del patrimonio? En esta investigación estudié las políticas culturales públicas, generales y específicas, para la difusión del patrimonio cultural mexicano en el extranjero; en particular, la difusión por medio de las exposiciones internacionales, organizadas por el Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH), así como a las prácticas de gestión asociadas a ellas, durante el periodo 1994-2006. Los resultados muestran que las políticas culturales públicas en el rubro de las exposiciones internacionales son muy generales y que no se cuenta con soportes sistemáticos y regulatorios para su operación; ni siquiera existe un corpus informativo mínimo que sirva de base para la planeación, organización y ejecución de esta tarea.</p

Los límites de la ausencia. Un ensayo sobre historia de las ideas: José Aricó, Leopoldo Zea y Carlos Real de Azúa
Get PDFI propose reading José Aricó’s “Marx y América Latina” as a work in which the author discusses Leopoldo Zea´s proposals to study the history of ideas in such a way that it also relates to Carlos Real de Azúa´s approaches: the obsessions and terms of a possible “esoteric history” or a “philosophical research”
Psiquismo e Historias: Modos de Inscripción de lo Subjetivo
No full textAs a consequence of the current epistemological argument social sciences have had important methodological adjustments and even a revision of its main foundations. Psychology and history have not escaped the controversy. This paper analyses theoretical and methodological similarities and differences between history and psychology. In such endeavor, we Will take advantage offour different and relatively new perspectives: new history, women 's history, history of collective mentalities and psychohistory. The first three perspectives emerge as internal revisions of history while psychohistory attempts to apply a psychological perspective to historical events. Psychohistory proposes a review of historical events from a psychological comprehension of human mentality, especially of human motivations. A discussion of reciprocal influences and multiple understandings of subjective experiences concludes the article.La discusión epistemológica actual ha implicado una revisión de objeto y método en la mayoría de las ciencias sociales, discusión a la que no han escapado ni la psicología ni la historia. El presente trabajo analiza confluencias y divergencias teóricas y metodológicas de historia y psicología (psicoanálisis), a partir de cuatro enfoques relativamente nuevos: nueva historia, historia de las mujeres, historia de las mentalidades y psicohistoria. Las tres primeras emergen como revisiones internas de la historia, mientras la psicohistoria propone la aplicación de perspectivas psicológicas a la historia, postulando la revisión del fenómeno histórico a partir de la comprensión del psiquismo, en especial de la motivación. Se concluye acerca de las influencias recíprocas y la múltiple inscripción de lo subjetivo
