Food traditions and consumer preferences for cured meats: Role of information in geographical indications
2021
Abstract Growth and development are two economic concepts that should go hand in hand. In a specific territory, the search for sustainable development is intertwined with the objectives of private operators but also with the public ones of collective well-being. As we know from the economic literature, the presence of information asymmetries leads to market failure as sustainability in the production of food products determines positive externalities that are not adequately remunerated. In this work some evolutionary trends in the demand for cured meats are analyzed, highlighting the relevant innovations introduced by sustainable consumption. Faced with this evolution of demand, with consum…

¿Sexo contra sexo o clase contra clase? El género y la clase en los debates del feminismo español (1975-1980)
2019
En el movimiento feminista español de mediados de los setenta se produjeron una serie de debates relacionados con dos categorías de análisis: clase y género. Estas dos categorías estuvieron muy presentes en las discusiones de las distintas organizaciones feministas, en tanto en cuanto, formaban parte importante de la identidad de estos sujetos. De este debate de fondo, se derivó, a su vez, una serie de “enfrentamientos” o distintos posicionamientos en torno a: la defensa de la única/doble militancia, mujer/mujeres, socialismo/patriarcado o clase obrera/clase mujer. De la misma manera, aunque no con la misma intensidad, la edad fue otro factor importante en el movimiento feminista que dio lu…

Mujeres zapatistas y producción videográfica en Chiapas
2018
Los primeros años de la rebelión zapatista coincidieron con la emergencia en México de un sector videográfico independiente, posibilitado por las nuevas tecnologías de grabación y edición, e inspirado en la lucha chiapaneca con sus redes de comunicación y solidaridad nacional e internacional. Antecediendo la era del Web 2.0 y las actuales redes sociales digitales, la producción videográfica sobre y desde el zapatismo fue una herramienta importante para la visibilización del conflicto y también de las transformaciones dentro de las comunidades chiapanecas, entre otras la autonomización y protagonismo de las mujeres. Este artículo explora la primera década de producción videográfica en torno …

Classification et chronologie de bas fourneaux de réduction du fer à usage unique au sud-ouest du Niger
2016
In southwestern Niger, near Niamey, several thousand single-use bloomery furnaces have been mapped and identified. The archaeological study of approximately 30 furnaces and their slag reveals the existence of four methods for iron smelting: three types of pit furnace and one slag-tapping type. The slag pit furnaces are clearly differentiated by the form and volume of their pits. All slag-tapping furnaces drain off slag through small openings. The slag is tapped either vertically or laterally. According to radiocarbon dates, the smelting activity developed in the 2 nd century AD and intensified through to the 14 th century. It continued to evolve until the middle of the 20 th century. The lo…
