Herbert J. Davenport on Conspicuous Consumption and the Economics of Feminism

2019

This article analyzes Herbert J. Davenport’s discussions of conspicuous consumption and feminism. Even though these (typically) Veblenian topics represent two “episodes” in many respects disconnected with the central body of Davenport’s theoretical interests, the assessment of Davenport’s views on these matters enlarges our knowledge of the development of his thought. Our analysis shows how Davenport can be enrolled among the forerunners of the modern theory of positional goods. Moreover, our article offers some new findings on the impact of Veblen’s ideas on one of his closest students at the Chicago University.

Between romanticism, anti-slavery and spirituality: The transcultural feminist echoes of Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda’s Sab in Hannah Crafts’s The B…

2017

El siguiente artículo se centra en las novelas Sab (1841) de la escritora cubana Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda y en la recientemente descubierta novela The Bondwoman’s Narrative (1857) de la esclava afroamericana Hannah Crafts pues ambas son excelsas en el manejo de una serie de recursos románticos y góticos que encuadran las historias en un contexto decimonónico específicamente femenino. El poder de la pasión, el desbordante y sugestivo marco natural que abriga o arrumba el destino de los personajes y la exaltación de los sentimientos como paradigma epistemológico son los rasgos que las autoras desarrollan siguiendo los cánones establecidos de la época. A través de una intertextualidad tra…

Due democratiche cristiane alla Consulta nazionale: Laura Bianchini e Angela Maria Guidi Cingolani

2022

Questo articolo appartiene a uno studio più ampio che mira a ricostruire una tradizione politica femminile per comprendere alcune delle ragioni persistenti dietro il divario di genere tra accesso formale e sostanziale alle decisioni. L’obiettivo finale è quello di evidenziare il ruolo e il contributo delle donne, soprattutto di quelle che sono finite nell’oblio, nella costituzione di un’Italia democratica e repubblicana fin dalle loro prime partecipazioni all’Assemblea Nazionale Consultiva. L’Archivio della Camera dei Deputati, l’Archivio dell’Istituto Sturzo e gli articoli delle riviste dell’epoca sono state le fonti primarie della ricerca.Il 25 settembre 1945 si inaugura la Consulta che r…

At the Interface of National and Transnational: The Development of Finnish Policies against Domestic Violence in Terms of Gender Equality

2017

Although gender inequalities are the main social mechanisms behind the (re)production of domestic violence, policy responses to domestic violence as a gender-related problem vary at both the national and transnational levels. This article examines the interaction between national and transnational policies against domestic violence, focusing on how domestic violence is constructed as a gender-related problem in Finland, a Nordic welfare state that is often cited as a role model in gender equality. Using the conception of policies as historically changing and culturally specific discourses, this article offers an overview of the ways in which the perspective on domestic violence of the trans…

School and family environments promote adolescents' financial confidence: Indirect paths to financial literacy skills in Finnish PISA 2018

2023

This study investigates the associations of adolescents’ financial socialization factors—financial education in school and families—with financial confidence (i.e., confidence in using financial and digital financial services). In addition, we examine how financial socialization factors indirectly relate to financial literacy skills through financial confidence and the role of demographic factors (adolescent gender, grade level, parental education, family wealth) on financial socialization, financial confidence, and financial literacy scores. We used data on the 4,328 Finnish 15-year-olds participating in the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). We measured financial …

The Formation of a Collective Identity Through Expressions of ‘Love’ and ‘Hate’: An Exploratory Analysis of the Discourse of Football Fans in Germany…

2021

International audience; Football is an exemplary platform where the social dynamics within and between societies can be regularly observed. In addition, online message boards are a rich resource of everyday expressions where football fans express their ‘love’ of their clubs as well as their ‘disdain’ for others. We conducted a qualitative content analysis during two seasons of Olympique de Marseille and FC Bayern Munich as well as Toulouse FC and Hannover 96. Our analysis illustrates that hateful expressions that differentiate groups are much more prevalent and therefore more determinant in the formation of a collective identity. Furthermore, the analysis confirms that the self-conception c…

Europeanised identifications among football fans. The analysis of discussions in online message boards.

2021

International audience; Across Europe, national professional football leagues have seen increasing numbers of players from other EU states, while the Champions League and the Europa League have become a focal point for many teams. This article seeks to investigate how far this Europeanisation on the organisational level of football is reflected in identities and discourses of fans. We develop a framework to analyse Europeanisation of identities among football fans. In the empirical part we conduct a qualitative content analysis of fan discussions on publicly available message boards among fans of four first league teams in England and Austria. Our empirical findings indicate that fans’ iden…

Digital solutions transform the forest-based bioeconomy into a digital platform industry : a suggestion for a disruptive business model in the digita…

2018

With the notion that the transformation of the forest-based bioeconomy in recent years provides insightful suggestions not only on the bioeconomy, but on business innovation, this paper conducts an empirical analysis of the transformation and attempts to extract suggestions for a digital-solution-driven, disruptive business model in the digital economy. Notwithstanding the potential broad cross-sectoral benefits, the natural environment, locality constraints, and incessant challenge of distance have impeded the balanced development of the bioeconomy. However, driven by digital solutions, the bioeconomy has taken big steps forward in recent years. Digitalization has enabled real-time, end-to…

Agenda building y frame promotion en la campaña electoral de 2011: la circulación del discurso entre partidos, medios y ciudadanos

2014

El objetivo principal de este trabajo de tesis doctoral es el estudio de la circulación del discurso político en el espacio público durante la campaña previa a las Elecciones a las Cortes Generales de noviembre 2011. El estudio parte de una concepción de la esfera pública que incluye tanto a los medios de comunicación tradicionales como a las nuevas herramientas de comunicación digital, como los blogs. La hipótesis básica de investigación es que el pluralismo polarizado del sistema mediático español, que se caracteriza por una acusada histórica imbricación entre los partidos políticos y la prensa, dibuja un escenario en el que los partidos tienden a dominar la producción del discurso públic…
