Futuro passato
2021
The volume propose a collection that reflects on what an event is and in what how temporality is schematized, so as to make it humanly understandable, manageable, thinkable. Covid-19 was, in this sense, just a great accelerator, a particularly caseinteresting about "temporal subversion".
Civic Participation and Gender Beliefs: An Analysis of 46 Countries
2016
Gender equality has progressed a great deal in recent decades in response to modernisation, industrialisation, and the generally rising level of education. A transformation in gender beliefs has accompanied the progress on gender equality and beliefs about gender roles have mainly changed in countries in North America and Europe, while in Muslim and Asian countries they have remained the same. The analysis in this article focuses on civic participation and investigates its relation to equalitarian gender beliefs. Multi-level regression models and data from World Values Survey (WVS) collected from 46 countries in 2005 allow depicting the relationships. The findings show that membership in ci…

Peer review is often criticized for being flawed, subjective and biased, but research into peer review has been hindered by a lack of access to peer review reports. Here we report the results of a study in which text-analysis software was used to determine the linguistic characteristics of 472,449 peer review reports. A range of characteristics (including analytical tone, authenticity, clout, three measures of sentiment, and morality) were studied as a function of reviewer recommendation, area of research, type of peer review and reviewer gender. We found that reviewer recommendation had the biggest impact on the linguistic characteristics of reports, and that area of research, type of peer…

Beyond Border Binaries: Borderlines, Borderlands, and In-Betweenness in Thomas King’s Short Story “Borders”
2011
The concerns at the border in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries are not so much goods and customs any longer but establishing the identity and citizenship of those crossing the line. This focus increased further after 9/11 with new security concerns and the ensuing thickening of the Canada–US border. With the mother, one of the protagonists in Thomas King’s short story “Borders,” insisting on her Blackfoot identity, she and her son are stuck in the middle. They can neither go back to Canada nor cross the border into the United States. Quite literally, they are stranded in what Homi K. Bhabha called “third space.” The setting of the duty-free store, located “between the two…

Vintage violence. La strana violenza del cinema di Losey
2015
Los textos sobre la violencia tienden a dar por sentado este concepto. En este artículo se intentará esbozar una definición semiótica a través de una breve relectura de algunos clásicos y de algunas entradas de vocabulario, para sugerir una caracterización de la violencia como dispositivo semiótico: una articulación de dos figuras diferentes de agresión («laceración»/«constricción») contra un umbral convencional. Esta hipótesis se desarrolla en el análisis de las películas de Joseph Losey, donde la violencia aparece de muchas formas, pero nunca llega a ser (con raras excepciones) totalmente explícita o espectacular. El artículo reconsidera el análisis de Gilles Deleuze en L’Image-Mouvement,…

The group sought both empirically grounded contributions focussing on the learning and teaching of algebra in diverse classrooms settings, the evolution of algebraic reasoning from elementary through university schooling as well as theoretical contributions throwing light on the complexities involved in teaching and learning of algebra. Prospective contributors were requested to address one or more of the following themes: early algebra, use of ICT in algebra classrooms, proof and proving in algebra, problem solving, semio…
