Merit-based exclusion in Finnish music schools
2019
In this article I analyse merit-based exclusion in Finnish music schools for children and young people. I base my study on my earlier research on meritocracy and written data collected online from current and former music school students in the autumn and winter of 2015–2016. I am able to show there are implicit and explicit merit-based hierarchies in the music school. Hierarchies and exclusion are shown to be connected to the institution’s meritocratic features. As the hierarchies are merit-based, it is hard to question them. The hierarchies justify excluding students from certain practices such as performances. These practices are in fact learning opportunities, as has been established by…
08. Recognition and the ideology of merit
2015
This paper discusses pathological forms that the ideal of merit takes in ideological uses of meritocratic ideas. According to the French philosopher Dominique Girardot (2011) the possibility of our genuinely recognizing one another is impaired by the ideology of merit: this new ideology standardizes recognition and forces competition, thus creating hierarchies and what Axel Honneth calls social pathologies. The ideology also threatens the category of action in Hannah Arendt’s (1958) sense. The paper elucidates Girardot’s stance and sketches a comparison between Honneth’s and Girardot’s views on recognition. Despite the explicit connection to Honneth’s theory, Girardot actually creates an Ar…
Il giudizio di ammissibilità nel conflitto di attribuzione tra i poteri dello Stato
2019
La monografia analizza criticamente il tema del conflitto di attribuzione tra poteri dello Stato con specifico riguardo alla fase della ammissibilità, alla luce della evoluzione della prassi e della giurisprudenza costituzionale più recente nella quale tale fase è stata utilizzata come una anticipazione della decisione di merito. Ciò determina una serie di problemi, specie in ragione della assenza in tale fase di qualunque forma di contraddittorio
El rol del modelo de las competencias en la reconfiguración meritocrática de las pautas de negociación salarial en empresas argentinas: continuidades…
2020
The development of new models of work organization and the complementary advance of flexible guidelines for the use of the labor force had as a correlate a profound change in techniques for the evaluation of workers. Thus, the typical model of Fordism, based on qualifications, was replaced by a different one based on competencies, whereby the strong relationship of the former was abandoned with the determination of the technical knowledge required for each job to move to a system which the priority is placed in the individual attitude. The consequent individualization of performance evaluations can lead to a possible loss of objectivity. In this article we develop a theoretical comparison b…
Unequal Attainments: Ethnic educational inequalities in ten Western countries
2014
Western countries have become increasingly diverse in recent decades and these demographic trends are certain to continue. The resulting ethnic diversity is a major challenge to policy-makers, who need to tackle issues of social justice and social integration. Education plays a pivotal role since it is the major stepping stone for the children of immigrants to successful economic integration and also plays a major role in social and political integration more generally since education gives access to the skills, resources and contacts which enable individuals to participate fully in the life of their society. Our central research questions are: Do the descendants of migrants experience equa…
Misura delle performance finanziarie e patrimoniali delle aziende agricole: proposta operativa per un nuovo modello di rating per le aziende agricole
2012
La profonda evoluzione dei sistemi agricoli negli ultimi anni hanno accresciuto l'attenzione di tutti gli attori istituzionali ed economici rispetto alla problematica dell'accesso al credito per le imprese. Nel passato molto spesso il credito in agricoltura ha usufruito di regimi "speciali"; con l'implementazione delle regole di Basilea 2 (più di recente Basilea 3), le condizioni per l'accesso al credito si sono notevolmente irrigidite. Nell'ambito del settore agricolo, la pressoché assenza di bilanci certificati rende particolarmente difficoltosa questa valutazione. Nel presente lavoro, dopo aver analizzato la letteratura in materia di valutazione del merito creditizio delle aziende agrico…
Justicia y legitimidad de la desigualdad tras la crisis financiera
2009
La crisis no sólo ha puesto de manifiesto la desconexión entre economía real y financiera sino también ha permitido cuestionar, aunque tímidamente, el papel legitimador que a menudo corresponde a los atributos meritocráticos (esfuerzo, inteligencia, etc.) en el tipo de desigualdad a la que da lugar el sistema de mercado. Cuestionadas algunas de las bases (morales si se quiere) con las que se pretendía fundado pero también fundante el principio de justicia del capitalismo (la vieja cuestión de la desigualdad económica legítima en relación con la igualdad formal y de derechos en el seno de la ciudadanía, pero también el nuevo problema de los techos salariales, etc.) nos encontramos, querámosl…
Hindrances to recognition in Finnish music schools
2021
This article examines recognition relations between students and teachers in Finnish music schools. The research is based on written texts by music school students. The texts are analysed for difficulties in recognition relations, namely, hindrances to recognition in music schools. In the texts, some of the respondents describe situations that can be analysed as hindrances to recognition. The author analyses four different types of recognition-related problems in the data, the main issue being a tension between caring for people (respecting them) and promoting musical values (emphasising esteem). In addition to discerning problems, the article attempts to alleviate this tension. This might…
Haciendo desigualdad de la diferencia: meritocracia y derecho a la identidad cultural. A propósito de la posición del pueblo gitano
2009
The persistent information on high levels of unemployment and premature abandon of school of roma students (with all the precautions with regard to undue generalizations, cases of full integration etc.) allow that the question of the right to a cultural identity turns out to be current, as well as its repercussion in areas as those of education and employment. This work analyzes the implication of the cultural difference, in the concrete case of the roma, taking into account the kind of economica inequality legitimized according to the meritocratic system wich informs the mentioned areas. It is dealing with a dissatisfaction judgement in human rights terms for the situation of a group wich …
What Makes for Fair Schooling?
2007
Slogans calling for “une ecole juste” (fair schooling) are often as vague as they are effective in mobilising public opinion: though there is apparent agreement on the desirability of greater fairness in education, the matter of defining fair schooling parameters is extremely complex and riddled with ambiguity.
