The traumatic experience and sexual violence in Halima Bashir’s tears of the desert
No full textEl objetivo principal de este trabajo se centra en el análisis de la experiencia traumática de la escritora sudanesa Halima Bashir en su obra autobiográfica Las lágrimas del desierto. A la hora de analizar la obra hemos tenido en cuenta los postulados del trauma para entender la función de la memoria como herramienta a partir de la cual la memoria individual de Halima se convierte en memoria colectiva para los sudaneses oprimidos en Darfur. La obra de Halima, aunque se centra en la experiencia de violación de un individuo, implica un mensaje político y un testimonio histórico de las atrocidades en Darfur.This paper applies trauma theory to Tears of the Desert, an autobiography written by the Sudanese author Halima Bashir. It examines the traumatic experience of the protagonist Halima Bashir who has been raped during Darfur conflict. In applying the aforementioned theory, this paper shows how the traumatic memory of Halima stands as a collective memory for the oppressed Sudanese in Darfur. Halima’s work, although focusing on the rape experience of an individual, implies a political message that many Sudanese were subjected to physical and psychological traumas as they were bearing witness to the conflict in Darfur

Non-life insurance ratemaking techniques: A literature review of the classic methods
No full textThe primary role of insurance is to protect and guarantee individuals' financial safety and security against the financial consequences of random incidents. It involves aggregating a large number of individual risks, among which there will be a certain amount of insurance claims and accumulated losses to the insurance company during a specific timeframe. Furthermore, one of the insurers' main concerns is establishing a tariff structure that distributes these claims and losses among policyholders most equitably and reasonably. This task of determining the pure premium belongs predominantly to actuaries who evaluate the probability of the risk occurrence, determine the risk factors in order to establish commensurate tariffs for each class so that everyone and each pay premium that, in one way or the other, reflects their riskiness. This article provides an overview of the fundamental concepts of ratemaking and reviews the classical statistical techniques used by insurance companies to discriminate tariffs. The article follows the customary actuarial distinction between the two main pricing techniques, namely the a priori and the a posteriori ratemaking techniques
Commodifying multicultures: urban regeneration and the politics of space in Spitalfields
No full textPhDSpitalfields, within close distance to the City of London. has been subject to intense
regeneration and gentrification in recent years. This thesis investigates the use of
culture in promoting urban regeneration. This thesis analyses the role of
multiculturally based regeneration in Spitalfields and assesses the possibilities for
civic engagement in a number of recent regeneration initiatives. I argue that
regeneration in Spitalfields has taken a cultural turn, and that a new set of discourses
is present in regeneration practices. These new forms of regeneration practices
demand a different kind of interpretation. This distinctiveness in policy consists of
the use and mobilisation of 'culture' and 'multicultural capital' as tools for
regeneration. Most notably the study's timing during a phase of intense change sets it
apart as one of the few studies undertaken of the complex relationship between the
new cultural industries, multicultural capital and the practice of selling places. The
study's theoretical framework draws from a range of inter-disciplinary literature on
urban space. cultural politics and feminist theory.
In capturing a series of moments that took place between 2000 and 2003,1
analyse a range of regeneration initiatives but focus closely on three case studies: the
construction of Banglatown in Brick Lane, the Rich Mix Centre for London, and the
annual street festivals/melas that took place in 2001 and 2002. I focused on two sets
of respondents - young people and young Muslim women whose experiences of
regeneration raise unsettling questions of inclusion and exclusion in/through space.
Cumulatively these sites are key examples of Spitalfields' multi-cultural spaces.
They extend a sense of promise to all its residents in the hope of a cosmopolitan
future or progressive city politics.
The tensions from these cultural strategies pose challenges for thinking about the
place of citizenship in urban multicultures. The research findings point to a
sophisticated understanding of the relationship of ethnicity, gender, commerce and
public space
