Kohti valveutumista ja ajattelun rajoja kriittisen pedagogiikan keinoilla
2018
Katsauksessa pohdimme kriittisen pedagogiikan mahdollisuuksia lisätä opettajaopiskelijoiden kykyä jäsentää yhteiskunnallisten ilmiöiden suhdetta kasvatukseen. Esimerkkinä käytämme Lapset elämänsä valtiaiksi -hanketta, jota Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulun sosionomikoulutuksessa on toteutettu Venäjällä ja Virossa. Siinä sosiokulttuurisen innostamisen avulla, opiskelijoiden oman osallistumisen kautta, pyritään luomaan solidaarisuuteen ja tasa-arvoon kurkottavia yksilöitä. Toiminnan keskeisiä arvoja ovat yhteisöllisyys, osallistuminen, dialogi ja luovuus. Prosessin päämääränä on todellisuuden kriittinen tarkastelu ja siitä kumpuava toiminta. Kriittisen pedagogiikan sovelluksia toteutetaan yliopis…
Surveillance and student dissent: the case of the Franco dictatorship.
2014
The rising of a powerful democratic student movement in Spain in the sixties represented a substantial stimulus to the repressive modernization of the Franco dictatorship. New containment strategies were adopted in the context of the counter-subversion and intelligence policies that the USA administration and their allies were also implementing. From this assumption, this paper analyzes the specific dynamics of surveillance on student protest, exploring the previous situation at university, the challenges introduced by the youth upheaval, the diverse responses of the establishment, the role of the American aid, and finally the consequences both for the dissidents and for the dictatorship it…
Hacia una pedagogía de la diversidad o la exigencia de repensar el carácter inclusivo de la escuela
2008
Desde la perspectiva de entender la educación de la ciudadanía como un instrumento al servicio de la convivencia democrática, este artículo se aproxima al análisis de uno de los desafíos educativos fundamentales de las sociedades del tercer milenio: la búsqueda de un adecuado equilibrio entre la sólida formación de las identidades y la gestión democrática de la diversidad. La realidad pluricultural y compleja de las sociedades actuales exige de los profesionales de la educación una reflexión fundamentada sobre los principios básicos de la llamada "pedagogía de la diversidad" y repensar aquellos parámetros de cambio que conviertan la escuela en un escenario de inclusión. El aprendizaje de lo…
La construcción de la imagen de la mujer en el humor gráfico del semanario Hermano Lobo (1972 - 1976)
2015
La finalidad de esta investigación es analizar la construcción de la imagen de la mujer en el semanario de humor, Hermano Lobo. Con este objetivo, se analizan las viñetas publicadas en la revista desde mayo de 1972, momento en que aparece la publicación, hasta junio de 1976, fecha en que desaparece. A través de la visión del humor gráfico de Hermano Lobo, encontramos una figura de la mujer desplazada con escasa representación y relevancia. La mujer ejerce de figurante silenciado como acompañante y fiel apoyo del hombre como consecuencia de una sociedad de tradición androcéntrica. Esta investigación forma parte de la tesis doctoral El humor en los últimos años del franquismo e inicios de la …
The Temptation of Populism in David Cameron’s Leadership Style
2015
DOI: 10.1057/9781137439246\₁0; International audience; It may seem unusual to associate the widely-used concept of populism with the leadership of the British Prime Minister, David Cameron. Populism is, however, open to various interpretations and definitions and so easy to manipulate that it could apply to almost anything. Moreover, populism has so often been used to describe movements and groups critical of representative democracy, generating a ‘malaise’ (Mény and Surel, 2002: 21) or a ‘threat’ to democracy (Mudde and Kaltwasser, 2012), that it is has become difficult to conceive it as a new political practice in the hands of democratic governments. To accept what would appear to be a co…
Neoliberalism in the Culture of Terror
2018
One of the most troubling aspects of neoliberalism is that paradoxically though it is widely used and cited in the different studies, books, and dissertation in social sciences, little is known respecting its nature. This is the reason why the present chapter theorizes on neoliberalism, its different meanings, as well as its ideological core. Today’s neoliberalism coincides with something else than the need to adopt free trade globally to curb social conflict. It traverses many other fields that are confronting neorealism. I dissect, here, not only the evolution of liberal mind through different authors and authoritative voices, but also how 9/11 and an imposed culture of fear gradually und…
European Union Crisis: An Introduction
2020
What is the impact of crisis on European Union (EU) integration? This chapter unpacks the concept of crisis and ways to conceptualize it. We outline three conceptual scenarios on the EU’s putative response to crisis and subsequently apply them in all chapters of the volume. The chapter sums up the key findings from different parts of the Handbook on the impact of crisis on EU policies and institutions, as well as the applicability of existing theories. The volume finds overall that the EU has been surprisingly resilient in the face of crises due to its ability to adapt and absorb, and if necessary, change, in response to crisis. The chapter also discusses the EU’s responses to democratic ch…
Background and Introduction: Why Debating Equal Pay for All?
2020
With an effort to justify the need to debate whether all people—no matter of profession and position (and also whether one has a job or not)—should have the same pay, this chapter introduces the anthology as well as the chapters and their different standpoints in the debate, along with their various bases for arguing as they do. After a brief background to the subject debated in the book, the book (and its format) is connected to the democratic aspect of debating. The final and major part of the chapter introduces and summarizes the remainder of the chapters in the book.
Binding analysis of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1 proteins in the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae).
2015
Sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis, F.) is an important corn pest in South America and United States. The aim of the present study was to analyze the susceptibility and binding interactions of three Cry1A proteins and Cry1Fa in a Brazilian D. saccharalis population. The results showed that Cry1Ab was the most active, followed by Cry1Ac, Cry1Fa and Cry1Aa. All Cry1-biotinylated proteins tested bound specifically to the D. saccharalis brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV). Heterologous competition assays showed shared binding sites for all Cry1A proteins and another one shared by Cry1Fa and Cry1Ab. Thus, pyramiding Cry1Aa/Cry1Ac and Cry1F proteins would be a recommended strategy for managi…
The ‘First’ Freire: On Education for Democracy and Social Change
2019
There is no question that Paulo Freire’s contribution to education for social transformation has been phenomenal. This brief paper explores some of the earlier concepts developed by Freire in the seventies, what I have termed the First Freire, offering an unique perspective on his original thought.
