Associational Activeness and Attitudes towards Political Citizenship in Finland from a Comparative Perspective
2009
This article first focuses on the development of the system of associations and association memberships in Finland as well as additional forms of political participation from a comparative perspective and, second, expands the examination by analysing ‘objective’ and ‘subjective’ dimensions of participation, i.e., the development of the number of Finnish association memberships and people's ideas of, and attitudes towards political citizenship. The typology of polity regimes adopted in this article (Schofer & Fourcade-Gourinchas) functions as a structuring scheme for understanding the differentia specifica of Finnish political participation. Two structural characteristics of the civil societ…
Owning (and reading?) politeness books in the eighteenth century: an analysis through private libraries
2020
Este artículo explora la presencia en bibliotecas privadas españolas —y algunas americanas— del siglo XVIII de la literatura de urbanidad, considerada en un sentido amplio que incluye no solo manuales de civilidad propiamente dichos, sino también ensayos, periódicos, obras de educación, filosofía moral, medicina, ficción o viajes, en las que la reflexión sobre las costumbres y las pautas de vida civilizadas constituyó un eje importante. Aunque poseer libros no equivale a leerlos, el análisis de una veintena de inventarios y catálogos, complementados en ciertos casos con notas y recomendaciones de lectura, proporciona ciertos indicios sobre el lugar que la civilidad ocupó en las preocupacion…
Contesting Category Salience: A study of the perceptions of the sides involved in the Persian Gulf War
2001
AbstractPrevious studies of political rhetoric in general, and the rhetoric surrounding the Gulf war in particular, have suggested that social categories are not defined by perceptual features of context, but rather rhetorically constructed and contested for the purposes of mass mobilisation. Thus western leaders portrayed the conflict as ‘Civilisation against Saddam Hussein’ in order to maximise the pro-war constituency, while leaders of the western anti-war movements portrayed it in terms of ‘Western leaders against ordinary (Iraqi) people’ in order to minimise the pro-war constituency. However these studies focus exclusively on leaders and fail to show whether ordinary people differ in t…

Ageing, Gender and Leadership: A Study Based on Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings
2017
Based on current research on ageing in organizations, this chapter focuses on ageing, its gendered nature, and its relations to what is valued in organizational settings in terms of careers and leadership. Stories about ageing are present in mythology, archetypes, and the societal collective unconsciousness, often followed by heroism and charismatic figures. Myths of ageing are manifold but may also represent a “Grand Story” of ageing, present for everyone as an ideal without gender or other dimensions. Using Tolkien’s mythology and Peter Jackson’s guided film trilogy The Lord of the Rings, the gendered relations between ageing, leadership, and leadership charisma are explored and interpret…
¿Una orientación marcada por el género? El caso de la Formación Profesional Básica valenciana.
2020
In this article we present part of the results in the analysis of the Basic Vocational Education and Training from a gender perspective. A new training cycle included in the compulsory stage of the Spanish educational system in order to avoid early educational abandonment. To this end, adaptation and curricular diversification are combined since the academic curriculum is narrowed in favor of a greater professional content according to the branches offered. Gender clearly emerges as a fundamental variable to understand the small number of women enrolled, as well as their concentration in branches specially connoted in terms of gender. The interviews carried out with the coordination and ori…

Between commodification and altruism: gender imbalance and attitudes towards organ donation. A representative survey of the German community
2008
The German transplant law (TGP) of 1997 only recognises organ donation if the donor agrees (‘extended consent’) and if done for altruistic reasons. Several alternatives will be discussed here, including incentives and passive agreement. Based upon a representative survey, the authors examined the attitudes of Germans towards several European models of organ donation and their attitude towards organ donation in general whilst living and after death. The acceptance of possible compensation systems was also explored. In Germany the majority do not favour compensation systems, but rather passive agreement. There is evidence of gender difference with respect to this attitude. Men tend to favour …
