Animality and Biblical Masculinities in Conflict: Moses and the Golden Calf (Exodus 32)
2020
The purpose of this article is to analyze the masculinity of the biblical figure Moses in relation to the golden calf in Exodus 32. The prophet has been used as a model of biblical masculinity based on criteria such as violence, persuasive ability, his relationship to women, and physical disability. However, no gender construction derived from his interaction with the animal idol has been considered. In the context of the intersection of “animal studies” and “masculinity studies,” this article proposes the conceptualization of a biblical “zoomasculinity” linked to the prophet. Cohabitation with the theriomorphic statue allows Moses to embody diverse alternative masculinities that culminate…
Guía para la incorporación de la perspectiva de género en la docencia en Sociología, Economía y Ciencias Políticas
2019
Sociology has constructed a male worldview that entails a biased interpretation of social reality. For its part, the traditional economy has made invisible the dependence of the commercial sphere of the domestic sphere. And in the field of political science, we also find many gender biases in basic concepts such as justice, equality or citizenship. This article, based on the work done by the authors in the Guia per a una docència universitària amb perspectiva de gènere de Sociologia, Economia i Ciència Política, offers some proposals, teaching resources and consultation tools to introduce the gender perspective in teaching, knowledge transfer and research in these disciplines.
The first COVID-19 lockdown reveals an ambivalent relation of French parents with food pleasure: the struggle to find a balance
2021
International audience; In France, a first COVID-19 lockdown took place from March-May 2020. Using an online survey including three open-ended questions, this study explored parents' experiences regarding changes in their family's eating behaviors during this lockdown. French parents (n = 498, 71% mothers) of young children were invited to describe which food-related changes they (1) perceived as positive during the lockdown, (2) perceived as negative, and (3) would like to maintain after the lockdown. A thematic analysis revealed that parents appreciated the choice of more local, fresh and high-quality foods, the time to prepare foods (homemade dishes, new recipes) and cooking and eating w…
Stoic pragmatist ethics in the time of pandemic
2021
Abstract The present paper is a response, of sorts, to the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID) and lockdown that we all must face. We have an idea of what doctors, nurses, teachers, among many of the other professions, do for the general public, but one may ask whether there is something substantial that philosophers and ethicists can offer in these circumstances. The thesis of this paper is that the stoic attitude towards times of trouble and the pragmatist way of finding out what is possible to elevate the quality of living against all odds, if skilfully interwoven, could be an important tool in keeping mental health in good shape and, additionally, could contribute to the cult…
Understanding the Significance of the Hypothalamic Nature of the Subthalamic Nucleus
2021
AbstractThe subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an essential component of the basal ganglia and has long been considered to be a part of the ventral thalamus. However, recent neurodevelopmental data indicated that this nucleus is of hypothalamic origin which is now commonly acknowledged. In this work, we aimed to verify whether the inclusion of the STN in the hypothalamus could influence the way we understand and conduct research on the organization of the whole ventral and posterior diencephalon. Developmental and neurochemical data indicate that the STN is part of a larger glutamatergic posterior hypothalamic region that includes the premammillary and mammillary nuclei. The main anatomic charact…
Configurations of Europe
2006
This book has sought to gender men in Europe by drawing on various sources of information and in relation to key themes and policy arenas. In this final chapter, we consider some broad issues concerning the position and impact of men in the context of changing configurations of Europe, including, but not only, in relation to the EU. There are many ways in which the more explicit gendering of men raises new sets of questions about the EU and the changing definitions of ‘Europe’.
Garantías legales del concepto de privacidad: Entre el derecho al olvido y el nuevo reglamento europeo de protección de datos
2018
The operation of new technologies and the supply of digital goods involves for users to disclose their personal data. The market data is already a reality with the danger that this entails for the privacy of citizens. The new General Data Protection Regulation has created a new legal framework that aims to radically change the current model, giving users greater powers to control their data. A good example of this is the express statement, and for the first time, of the right to be forgotten, which allows citizens to digitally erase their data when other fundamental rights are endangered.
La delimitación del concepto de daño moral: un estudio de la cuestión en el ordenamiento jurídico español.
2021
El presente estudio tiene como objetivo realizar una aproximación al concepto de daño moral en el derecho español porque, a diferencia del daño patrimonial, el Código Civil no proporciona un concepto sobre él. Para la articulación de un concepto de daño moral es necesario analizar los supuestos de reconocimiento legal, la interpretación que los órganos judiciales han hecho y el tratamiento proporcionado en los Principios de derecho contractual europeo y de derecho de daños europeo. El trabajo finaliza con una valoración sobre la actual configuración del daño moral. The present study aims to make an approximation to the concept of non-pecuniary damage in Spanish law because, unlike property …
El orden público ante la libertad religiosa. Reflexiones sobre un debate
2020
Una práctica religiosa -el uso del velo integral- abrió un debate importante sobre los límites del orden público en relación con la libertad religiosa. En Francia, a raíz del Étude del Consejo de Estado adoptado en 2010, se hicieron varias distinciones: entre una concepción material e inmaterial del orden público, entre una concepción clásica y una concepción renovada y, en el plano político, entre una concepción liberal y una concepción republicana. El vínculo del orden público respecto a la libertad religiosa no es exáctamente igual al que mantiene con el resto de libertades, ya que la historia política los ha unido en una reflexión sobre los orígenes del Estado moderno. La búsqueda y jus…
Tratamiento didáctico en la enseñanza de las ciencias, de los errores conceptuales
1987
Los errores conceptuales (principalmente en Física y Química), constituyen un grave problema, no solo por su extensión (afectan a un gran número de estudiantes de todos los países y de cualquier nivel educativo) sino también porque frecuentemente responden a ideas alternativas sobre conceptos científicos básicos, las cuales resultan muy difíciles de cambiar, incluso aun cuando son tenidas explícitamente en cuenta en la enseñanza. Todo ello contribuyó sin duda a que en la década de los 80 se realizase una investigación muy abundante en torno al tema de las concepciones alternativas de los alumnos, de la cual forma parte esta tesis doctoral (primera sobre errores conceptuales en física y quím…
