Una tipología de desajustes entre competencias y educación utilizando un análisis comparativo entre países
2015
This paper aims to discuss the value of the diplomas and the situation of downgrading on the labour market. Its novelty is to compare skills both acquired and required in employment, using a self - assessment carried out by young higher education graduates a cross nine countries of Europe, Japan and Canada. More precisely, we illustrate the incidences of diploma and skill mismatches using three higher education graduate surveys, two international surveys (CHEERS, REFLEX) and a Canadian survey (NGS). We define possible over - education and skill mismatches and then present an empirical typology to show the most frequent cases of mismatches. The ideal situation which corresponds to a perfect …
RISO, museo d'arte contemporanea della Sicilia
2009
C’è in Riso, Museo d’Arte Contemporanea della Sicilia, una volontà di radicarsi nel territorio che emerge già nel disegno del piccolo logotipo che connota il museo palermitano inaugurato nel 2008. La prima lettera è una R corposa e densa di inchiostro, generata dalla rotazione di una Trinacria che ha perso ogni tratto espressionista, per ridiventare un potente segno grafico che richiama alla memoria elementi dell’architettura classica che tanti esempi ha disseminato sull’isola. Le altre tre lettere sottomesse formalmente alla prima la seguono dichiarando attraverso il disegno stencil, la propria natura di elementi temporanei e leggeri, che in molte declinazioni si annullano per lasciare la …
Workers’ and volunteers’ ideas about the benefits of young people’s cultural participation : a critical capital-based approach
2020
This article deals with non-profit sector and voluntary workers’ understandings of the benefits of young people’s participation in cultural and leisure projects in Central Finland. Active participation is highlighted on a policy level as a solution to social inequality, exclusion, and marginalisation among young people. The article focuses on the cultural, social, economic, and political dimensions of participation by exploring the advantages that cultural projects bring to young people. The article theorises these dimensions by drawing on Bourdieu’s concept of capital to provide a more critical account of the participation paradigm. Fifteen workers and volunteers on cultural projects were …
Indoctrinated, but not Incurable? Klaus Mann's Interrogation of German Prisoners of War in 1944
2011
It has been stated that ‘die personlichen Erfahrungen […] mit deutschen Kriegsgefangenen zu Ende des Krieges’ led to disillusion and disappointment among the German exiles who fought in the war against Hitler.1 This disappointment manifested itself in the many conflicts between former exiles on the one hand and representatives of the governments of their host nations as well as fellow Germans on the other. Like Stefan Heym, Hans Habe and others, the writer in exile Klaus Mann felt obliged to devote himself to the war against National Socialism, not only in his works, but also as a man of action. As a member of the Psychological Warfare Branch of the Fifth Army he worked in a propaganda unit…
Las frazadas en la memoria de la dictadura chilena : el caso de Jorge Montealegre
2020
As Pia Montalva (2013) points out, the blankets are the artefacts that best represent political imprisonment and its ambiguities: on the one hand, they embody the basic functions of the technology of power in dictatorship: they take away speech and sight, immobilise the body, erase the individuality of the face and the countenance, isolate the individuals from their environment,. On the other hand, they contribute to restoring a certain normality in an exceptional situation such as that of confinement and allow the uncertainty of detention to be accepted. In Jorge Montealegre's testimony (2003) about his forced stay in the National Stadium, written thirty years after the military coup, the …
Gender differences in the jealousy-evoking effect of rival characteristics
2011
This study examines gender differences in the jealousy-evoking nature of rival characteristics in two Spanish-speaking countries (Argentina and Spain). A total of 388 Spanish students and 444 Argentinean students participated in the study. First, the cross-cultural validity of a Dutch scale containing 56 rival characteristics was examined. A factor analysis distinguished four dimensions (i.e., social power and dominance, physical attractiveness, physical dominance, and social-communal attributes). After the analysis, the final scale contained in total 24 items. Results showed that in Argentina and Spain combined, men experienced more jealousy than women when their rival was more physically …
La memoria de/en los objetos. Artesanía, dibujos y bordados clandestinos de los presos políticos en la cárcel de Córdoba (Argentina, 1976-1979)
2020
Entre 1976 y 1979, cientos de presos políticos en la cárcel de Córdoba fueron sometidos a un régimen de completo aislamiento e inactividad. Se prohibieron estrictamente las cartas, visitas familiares, diarios, revistas, actividades manuales, gimnasia y deportes con el objetivo de destruirlos física y psicológicamente. Para aliviar el tedio los presos elaboraron clandestinamente artesanías, dibujos y bordados con herramientas prohibidas como huesos, clavos, hilos de toalla y tela de jean. Algunos de estos objetos fueron preservados con gran riesgo y sacados de la cárcel casi siempre de manera clandestina. Ellos guardan la memoria de una experiencia colectiva de resistencia dentro de una cárc…
Remembering and Forgetting, Discovering and Cherishing
2018
The events of the Second World War left considerable material remains in Finnish Lapland, ranging from the remnants of structures that were destroyed in the 1944–45 Lapland War, through to small, portable objects connected to soldiers, prisoners of war and civilians. These material remains have variously been saved and cherished by survivors and their families, disregarded as ‘war junk’, ‘discovered’ by hobbyists exploring the landscape, amassed and exchanged by private collectors, and accessioned into official museum collections. These various processes represent transformations of material culture to take on various meanings and embodiments, depending on the different individuals and orga…
