Maternal antibody transmission and breeding densities in the Black-headed Gull Larus ridibundus
2004
1. The offspring of avian species, especially those of colonial breeders, are exposed to a number of pathogens immediately after birth. The chick's immune system is, at that early stage still immature and inefficient. As a consequence, diseases can have a strong impact on chick survival.2. The ability of mothers to transmit passive immunity in terms of antibodies of their own acquired immunity to their chicks is probably an essential pathway to enhance the chick survival. Since the production of antibodies is costly, females are expected to adjust the transmission of passive immunity to the local disease environment.3. We found that in Black-headed Gulls (Larus ridibundus L.) yolk antibody …
Deconstructing Gendered and Colonial Violence in the Re-Imagined Nineteenth-Century: Domestic Traumas in Neo-Victorianism on Screen
2023
En esta tesis, examinamos el colapso del concepto idealizado de familia nuclear en las sociedades occidentales a través de la (mala) representación de los traumas de género y coloniales en el neovictorianismo audiovisual. Para ello, analizamos cuatro textos audiovisuales neovictorianos producidos en la última década: Crimson Peak (2015) de Guillermo del Toro, Penny Dreadful (2014-2016), Taboo (2017-presente) y Carnival Row (2019-presente) a través del marco teórico de los estudios de trauma. Nuestras hipótesis de partida son (1) estos textos audiovisuales neovictorianos aparentemente proporcionan una representación feminista de los traumas de género dentro de los confines de la familia nucl…
Estudios de Género desde una perspectiva decolonial. Trama y Urdimbre: Tejido de una memoria de mujeres migrantes de Abya Yala como sujetas políticas
2022
La presente investigación se enmarca dentro de la producción académica de los feminismos decoloniales de Abya Yala situados en el Estado español. De esta manera, este escrito trata sobre las memorias de los activismos de un grupo de mujeres migrantes racializadas de Abya Yala que forman parte de diferentes colectivas autónomas y organizaciones formales del ámbito social. Estas mujeres se presentan como sujetas políticas en el territorio valenciano en un contexto que comprende desde finales del siglo XX hasta las dos primeras décadas del siglo XXI, período durante el cual se han entretejido una serie de acontecimientos, datos, sentipensares, lugares de la memoria, símbolos e interpretaciones…
Modelos de mundo y discursos literarios saboteadores en Guinea Ecuatorial: la construcción de una identidad decolonial y sus límites
2022
Esta investigación parte del interés por analizar la posición ideológica de la literatura escrita por mujeres guineoecuatorianas en la construcción de la identidad nacional decolonial. Guinea Ecuatorial se enfrenta desde su independencia de España en 1968, a una necesaria reconstrucción identitaria que fluctúa entre los legados del colonialismo pasado y la recuperación de sus culturas y valores precoloniales. En ambos casos, la mujer negra y sus discursos ocupan una posición subalterna, ya sea frente al patriarcado de la cultura colonial española o frente al nuevo nacionalismo patriarcal poscolonial. Desde esa posición de negatividad frente al modelo de mundo hegemónico, las voces de ellas …
Higher Education and Global Social Injustice
2020
This dissertation, composed of three unique scholarly articles, explores some of the ways in which institutions of higher education facilitate and mitigate social injustice on a global scale. Specifically analyzing the behavior of administrative actors—defined as those that serve in a leadership role outside of the classroom—the purpose of the research was twofold. Firstly, I aimed to identify the mechanisms by which administrative actors at U.S. and Finnish institutions of higher education legitimized and rationalized their involvement in globally unjust educational practices. Secondly, I sought to identify the ways in which administrative actors in these economically privileged countries …

For a History of Anthropology in the Plural
2023
What are the reasons behind the “scientific” positioning that anthropology had adopted since its origins up to a few decades ago? They were certainly cognitive reasons, but they were intertwined with political concerns, ideological frameworks and cultural references. The urge to gain academic legitimacy, reliance on “Western-centric” perspectives and the aspiration to build broad, universal knowledge all played a role. Another significant role was played by its involvement in the project and the projection of colonial supremacy. These are all implicit factors that started to take on an increasingly deliberate problematic form, and finally culminated in the “crisis of representation”, fallin…
History Matters: Colonial‑Based Connectivity and Foreign Headquarter Location Choice
2022
AbstractIn this study, we argue that European countries’ extensive relationships with former colonies represent a location factor that attracts foreign headquarter investments. The strategic role of foreign headquarters as coordinators, opportunity detectors, and global bridgeheads makes the location choice of headquarter activities sensitive to historical-based institutional connections. Drawing on a sample of 2230 foreign headquarter investments in Europe, we find that the stronger the combined effect of historical connections and current economic relationships with former colonies, the higher the probability of attracting headquarter investment projects. We refer to this combined charact…
Päivitettyä perinnettä : saamelaisen nykyrunouden saamelaiskuvastoja
2017
This doctoral dissertation investigates the imagery of Sáminess in contemporary Sámi poetry. The research material of the study consists of poetry collections published in North Sámi and Norwegian by eight Sámi authors: Inger-Mari Aikio (previously Aikio-Arianaick), Inga Ravna Eira, Rawdna Carita Eira, Irene Larsen, Rauni Magga Lukkari, Hege Siri, Nils- Aslak Valkeapää, and Ellen Marie Vars. The emphasis is on poetry published at the turn of the 2010s. The study examines how Sáminess has been depicted and constructed in poetry from the 1980s onwards. The four original research articles ask how images traditionally connected to Sáminess and indigenousness are used in contemporary poems and h…
