Música, democratización y omnivoridad
2008
En el campo del análisis cultural, la teoría de la omnivoridad sostiene que los gustos estéticos han superado el esquema monolegitimista basado en la distinción jerárquica entre alta cultura y cultura popular y se han vuelto cada vez más variados y tolerantes. En este artículo, a partir del análisis de las prácticas musicales en España, en el contexto de la creciente difusión de la audición mediada, se estudia la evolución de las preferencias musicales; y se esboza el concepto de régimen de consumo cultural (en este caso, musical) como una herramienta analítica más compleja y adecuada que la omnivoridad. In the field of the analysis of culture, the theory of omnivorousness holds that aesthe…
L'impugnazione del licenziamento dopo il "Collegato lavoro"
2013
Nel ripercorrere la complessa e articolata normativa in materia di impugnazione del licenziamento, la nota sottolinea come ragioni di carattere sistematico impongono che il differimento al 31 dicembre 2011 del termine di 60 giorni, previsto dal c.d. Decreto Milleproroghe, non possa che riferirsi all'intero testo dell’art. 6, I comma, della legge n. 604 del 1966 come “novellato” ad opera dell’art. 32 del Collegato Lavoro. Analysing complex and articulated regulation about contestation of dismissal, the note underlines how systematic reasons require that the deferment to 31 December 2011 of the 60-day period provided by the so-called Milleproroghe Decree, should be referred to the entire te…
Democratic Meta-Deliberation: Towards Reflective Institutional Design
2014
Theories of deliberative democracy are popular for their promise that in a deliberative polity, democracy can realise both participatory politics and rational policies. However, they are also confronted with the allegation that by qualifying essentially non-democratic practices as deliberative, they inadvertently (or not) become accomplices in the trend towards post-democratic governance. A central example of such a development is the rise of non-majoritarian bodies to which governments delegate decision making, thereby de-politicising conflicts and turning democratic discourses into technocratic ones. This article adopts a systemic perspective on deliberative democracy, asking whether non-…
Heritage and knowledge: apparatus, logic and strategies in the formation of heritage
2016
Heritage as a category reflects diverse political positions. All heritagisation processes imply the creation of hierarchies, selection, ranking, and categorization of what is worthy or unworthy of being heritage, and all heritage creation involves certain disciplinary processes that confer legitimacy. As a modern invention, heritage was built on two closely-related cornerstones: the distinction between nature and culture and the difference between normalized knowledge and marginal knowledge. As a result, refining processes were applied which became strategies to legitimise political domination. In this paper the constituent process of heritage creation and its links to normative knowledge a…
The institutional pillars of management accounting function
2009
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to theorize the institutional pillars of management accounting function.Design/methodology/approachThe paper adopts a comparative case study approach.FindingsInstitutional pillars of management accounting are explored on the basis of two longitudinal case studies. Competitive/economic forces and three analytical elements of institutional theory are composing institutions: regulative, normative and cultural‐cognitive pillars. Each element is important, and all of them may work in combination, but they operate through distinctive mechanisms and processes. This paper illustrates how they provide the basis for compliance, order and the legitimacy of not the w…
From development to power relations and territorial governance: Increasing the leadership role of LEADER Local Action Groups in Spain
2015
Abstract The establishment of Local Action Groups (LAGs) within the framework of LEADER with the participation of public and private actors through a bottom–up approach (i.e., the empowerment of local society) and the management of local development strategies constitutes one of the major innovations in the field of rural policy in Spain. The protagonism of local society and the local management of development processes entail the introduction and experimentation of previously unknown mechanisms of territorial governance. However, the efficacy of this rhetoric has been seriously limited in its practical implementation, with difficulties conceiving truly integrated and multi-sectoral strateg…
Comprehensive education boundaries and remedies on the edges of the Spanish educational system
2015
Throughout the history of education different conceptions have been developed about the role and the function that education has in society as a whole. Such conceptions have been constructed around different discourses that show underlying social conflicts. The different educational practices acquire their legitimacy through such discourses, which organize the action of the subjects participating in them. In the research works that have been developed from the University of Valencia over the period 1994 to 20141, discursive keys through which educators of comprehensive measures legitimate their action have been identified. In those analyses a notion of discourse as the structure of argumen…
Salud pública, espacio urbano y exclusión social en la España de posguerra: la epidemia de tifus exantemático en la ciudad de Valencia, 1941-1943
2019
Resumen Tras la Guerra Civil, las deficientes condiciones higiénico-dietéticas de gran parte de la población española favorecieron la aparición de enfermedades epidémicas. El tifus exantemático puso en jaque a las autoridades sanitarias, especialmente durante la primavera de 1941, cuando el ciclo epidemiológico de la enfermedad y la falta de infraestructuras se aliaron para provocar una grave crisis sanitaria. El régimen franquista, consciente de que esta situación dificultaba su legitimación, no dudó en utilizar la exclusión social como parte de su política sanitaria contra esta epidemia. El artículo analiza en profundidad el caso de Valencia, una ciudad que durante la guerra, por hallarse…
Evaluating the Change Process for Business Risk Auditing: Legitimacy Experiences of non-Big 4 Auditors
2017
SUMMARY The business risk auditing (BRA) approach was developed in the late 1990s and partly incorporated into audit standards in the early 2000s. As such, BRA was a significant innovation in audit methodology. In our interview study, we examine the experiences of 38 non-Big 4 auditors toward the theorization and diffusion of BRA. We use the widely recognized framework from Greenwood, Suddaby, and Hinings (2002), emphasizing the importance of legitimacy within an organizational field, to evaluate the change process toward BRA. First, we observe that the theorization of the new concept of BRA was often of limited success as many non-Big 4 auditors found it to be too complex and remained unco…
To survive or succeed? : An analysis of biotechnology firms
2017
In this paper, we address the question whether there exists differences in the determinants that support survival versus success of small and medium-sized high-tech firms. We examine this question in the context of Finnish biotechnology industry by analyzing the survival of all dedicated biotechnology firms in the period of 1978–2008. We argue and show that the success and survival of firms are not necessarily driven by similar determinants. Specifically, we find that while the role of different types of alliances, focused market scope as well as legitimacy of the industry seem to be important both ensuring in survival and enhancing successful performance, determinants related to sources of…
