How students perceive the university's mission in a Spanish university: Liberal versus entrepreneurial education?
2013
AbstractThis study explores the extent to which undergraduate students perceive a dichotomy between a liberal vs. an entrepreneurial model of university. This research is important in that it compares the stated aims of university education, particularly within the Bologna Process, with students' expectations regarding liberal education and employability. A Likert-type questionnaire containing 25 statements reflecting liberal and entrepreneurial features of university education was answered by 488 students from 10 disciplines at the University of Valencia, Spain, just before the implantation of the Bologna curriculum. An exploratory factor analysis revealed that students clearly perceive th…
Detenerse En la pausa, abrir la escritura: experiencia y tiempos desarticulados en la novela de Diego Meret
2015
Este trabajo examina las diferentes posibilidades que plantea la idea de la pausa en la primera novela de Diego Meret, En la pausa (2009). Ya sea como una etapa historica, como una condicion fisiologica o como la escritura misma, la pausa se presenta aqui como aquello que permite proponer una reflexion sobre la recuperacion de la experiencia y la irrupcion de tiempos desarticulados que quiebran las expectativas o las linealidades argumentales o historicas. Propongo, entonces, la pausa como una estrategia narrativa que expone el caracter letargico de los anos neoliberales del gobierno de Carlos Menem en Argentina y la imposibilidad de recobrar la experiencia durante ese periodo. Al mismo tie…
Crítica de la economía biopolítica : dimensiones políticas del pensamiento médico / Criticism of the biopolitical Economics: political dimensions of …
2017
Resumen: El presente artículo efectúa un recorrido por distintas de las problemáticas entrelazadas que, en las investigaciones foucaultianas, atraviesan la historia de la medicina y la configuración de la gubernamentalidad biopolítica. En el momento en que la gestión de la población y el paradigma de la seguridad se hibridan con un “pensamiento médico que, más allá de los límites de la propia disciplina, constituye un razonamiento en base a lo normal y lo patológico, este va a funcionar en el seno de todo un conjunto de políticas que, desde la constitución y crisis del Estado del Bienestar a las problemáticas relaciones con las ciencias jurídicas, sitúan la cuestión de la salud, el cuerpo y…
East Asia in the Global Economy: Theoretical and Empirical Questions for Marxism
2019
As Marxism and socialism pass through watershed years it is important to reflect on the abiding questions of Marxist theory and empirical analysis. This article takes up this task in the context of East Asia under the impetus of globalisation and neo-liberalism, introducing a collection of five articles collected in the special issue. The article shows that questions Marx posed about the global economy more than a century ago remain prescient and continue to animate cutting-edge research, as shown in the articles in this special issue.
“Stop whining and be a badass”: a postfeminist analysis of university students' responses to gender themes
2021
PurposeThis paper critically examines how female students at a Finnish business school understand gender in management.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis is based on female students' learning diaries from a basic management course.FindingsThe findings show how students respond to the topic of gender inequality through a neoliberal postfeminist discourse. The students' discourse is structured around three discursive moves: (1) rejecting “excessive” feminism, (2) articulating self-reliant professional futures and (3) producing idealized role models through successfully integrating masculinity and femininity.Originality/valueThis article contributes to current understanding of the role of…
Algunas consideraciones sobre el arte en México de las décadas de 1990 y 2000
2016
Titulo : “Algunas consideraciones sobre el arte en Mexico de los 1990s y 2000s” Resumen : En los ultimos 25 anos, una forma distinta de hacer, exhibir y circular arte en Mexico se incorporo a la economia global con ayuda de fondos publicos y privados. El arte en Mexico de los 1990s y 2000s abarca la transicion de una reflexion sobre las promesas rotas de la modernidad desde un punto de vista periferico, y un desafio a la hueca imagen de mexicanidad y su institucionalizacion, a lo que se conoce como “arte contemporaneo”. La liberalizacion del mercado llego de la mano con la liberalizacion de la identidad, construcciones historicas y la hibridez-pastiche mestiza de lo postmoderno, dando lugar…
Theorizing religion and media in contemporary societies: An account of religious ‘publicization’
2011
This article argues that a combination of the rapid development and dissemination of media technologies, the liberalization of national media economies and the growth of transnational media spheres is transforming the relationship between religion, popular culture and politics in contemporary societies in ways not adequately accounted for in existing sociological theories of religion (secularization, neo-secularization and rational choice) and still largely neglected in sociological theories of media and culture. In particular, it points to a series of media enabled social processes (de-differentiation, diasporic intensification and re-enchantment) which mirror and counter processes identif…
El papel de las emociones y la literatura en la deliberación pública: la figura del <em>equlibrio perceptivo</em> de Martha C. Nussbaum
2015
This article argues that literature can play a key role in the processes of ethical deliberation; therefore it can be regarded as an extremely useful tool to justify public decision-making. In order to support this thesis I examine Nussbaum’s proposal of perceptive equilibrium as a method to conduct the public deliberation processes which integrates the emotions in its structure. Finally, I analyse one of the possible applications of the proposed method: introducing narrative texts, both historical and fictional, in the curricula as a method for ethical deliberation.
Identità nazionale, monarchia, impero. Costruire la Spagna nell'età del liberalismo (1782-1868)
2018
Nella storiografia sulla Spagna contemporanea i termini nazione ed impero, costruzione nazionale e imperialismo sono spesso rappresentanti come tra loro contraddittori o autoescludenti. Con i processi rivoluzionari americani del primo quarto del XIX secolo, la dimensione imperiale spagnola avrebbe ceduto il passo a quella prettamente nazionale, dove le diverse famiglie liberali, attraverso un processo rivoluzionario, prima introdussero un sistema monarchico costituzionale e poi si scontrarono per l'articolazione politica e culturale interna della nazione. Secondo tale lettura, solo durante la Restauración borbonica e con la crisi del 1898, sarebbe riemersa una "coscienza imperiale" come com…
