Perspectiva feminista como ética periodística en México
2021
La investigación tiene como propósito demostrar que la prensa feminista, debe ser considerada como herramienta en la promoción y defensa de los derechos humanos. Se desarrolló desde un enfoque cualitativo, examinando las investigaciones de cuatro reconocidas periodistas mexicanas. De los principales debates que se problematizan, se desprende que la prensa debe ser un ente vigilante de los grupos de poder. Al incluirse la perspectiva feminista en el periodismo, los mensajes que se transmiten contienen una significación práctica que intrínsecamente coadyuva en el reconocimiento de la dignidad de las mujeres. Visto lo anterior, se concluye que, en orden de construir sociedades más justas, quie…
?What ought we do?? and other questions
2020
Kant formulates the question “What ought I do?” as an agent’s question. This is not the only way in which practical reasoning can be approached. A great deal of contemporary work in ethics and political philosophy addresses different, often narrower, questions. Much of it focuses primarily on recipients rather than agents, and so on entitlements or rights rather than on requirements or duties to act, including most obviously discussions of human rights. I will consider some of the consequences and the advantages of starting from each of these questions, and some of the ways in which each shapes practical reasoning.
The Making and Unmaking of Precarity : Some Concluding Remarks
2015
We live in societies in which the making and unmaking of precarity has a structuring power. In the labour market, precarity is created through laws and practices that reduce protections and benefits; but the labour market itself is also the place where precarity can be unmade through (at least partial) de-commodification and re-regulation. Precarity also penetrates people’s lives and mechanisms of identification, with practices of producing stigma but also of resisting it. Not by chance, the making and unmaking of precarity has become a central focus for contentious politics through the definition of the new subject of the precariat, and the struggles against precarity as a stripping of fun…
La producción de la subjetividad en los tiempos del neoliberalismo: hacia un imaginario con capacidad de transformación social
2003
La hegemonía neoliberal de las últimas décadas ha traído aparejadas inmensas transfor-maciones económicas, políticas y sociales. El relativo equilibrio que se estableció en las sociedades occidentales de posguerra en la dialéctica entre ciudadanía, subjetividad y emancipación social comenzó a transformarse drásticamente a partir de los años ochenta (Santos 2000). La reorganización del sistema capitalista que surge de este periodo se ha concretado socialmente, en el incremento de la vulnerabilidad social y en el crecimiento de las desigualdades sociales, dando lugar a la emergencia de la llamada ‘nueva cuestión social’ (Robert Castel 1977). El territorio de la globalización, nombre que toma …
“Sicherungsverwahrung” (preventive detention) in Germany under the scrutiny of the ECHR
2020
The societal challenge how to deal with offenders deemed habitually dangerous, requires to balance needs for security of the general public with the human rights of the potential extreme dangerous offender. The prediction of future heavy crimes can never be precise. Hence, all measures infringing the rights of individuals deemed dangerous are very problematic from a human rights perspective. Germany uses “Sicherungsverwahrung” (preventive detention) to handle this challenge. The concept basically meant that after their prison-sentence, offenders deemed dangerous were kept in prison like conditions until they were not deemed dangerous anymore. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) inter…
Decisiones automatizadas: problemas y soluciones jurídicas. Más allá de la protección de datos
2021
La creciente capacidad computacional de los sistemas automatizados de procesamiento de datos ha generado un aumento de su utilización en toda clase de actividades humanas. Estos sistemas pueden procesar cantidades masivas de datos y proporcionar resultados muy precisos, ayudando a los responsables de la toma de decisiones, tanto en el sector público como en el privado, a clasificar a los seres humanos y a predecir sus acciones. Sin embargo, en los últimos años se ha venido demostrando que estos sistemas pueden generar importantes riesgos para los derechos fundamentales y otros valores y principios democráticos. Hasta la fecha, las normas en materia de protección de datos han constituido el …
The Winding Road to Accessing the Voices of One Thousand Schoolchildren : A Nexus Analysis of Collecting Data for a Survey
2021
This article describes a nexus analysis of the lengthy, complex process of negotiating access to schools for a research project surveying 1,002 children (aged 9–12 years) about their digital and language practices. The analysis distinguished layers of adult-centered gatekeeping, each of which needed to be tackled in sequence. Bottlenecks particularly arose at the gatekeeping stage, in which superintendents of schools decided whether to grant research access to schools. Factors facilitating the research process included the hybrid data collection design, the procedures for obtaining parental consent, and the active collaboration with the children themselves. A significant discourse emerged a…
The role of Intellectual Property Rights in the value capturing of crowdsourcing for innovation contests
2017
In this study, we investigate the role of IPR arrangements in crowdsourcing for innovation challenges. Integrating Property Rights Theory and the open innovation literature, we propose that specific challenge attributes affect the seekers organizations’ choice between alternative IPR arrangements and how this choice, in turn, affects the self-selection of external solvers into solving the challenge. We collected multi-source, interview data with open innovation directors and we built a unique data set of 729 awarded challenges broadcasted on InnoCentive platform from 2010 to 2016. Our findings contribute to the emerging literature on open innovation and crowdsourcing literature by bringing …
LAND AND PROPERTY RIGHTS WITHIN THE URBANISM LAW
2017
The study intends to highlight the functions of property rights in relation to the characteristics of urbanism law. The analyse aims to identify the role of public authorities in the production process of planning public policies, under current regulations in force in Romania. Moreover, while the legislation led to confer a social function of property rights, this conception of property rights comes up against the revival of private property, which is likely to complicate the implementation of public planning policies. The social function of the property law, however, could reach its limits in the coming years. Indeed, the jurisprudence appears to give a boost to the individualistic dimensi…
