La alteridad en el discurso de la ciencia ficción : identidad y desarraigo en Beforeigners (HBO: 2019- )
2021
La representación del miedo hacia el Otro ha sido una de las temáticas más recurrentes en el género de la ciencia ficción. En esta línea, esta investigación articula un análisis de la serie noruega Beforeigners en torno al discurso de la identidad. Desde una perspectiva cualitativa, se ha realizado un análisis textual que ha puesto de manifiesto que en la serie prevalecen los valores comunitarios y solidarios. En la discusión se han contrapuestos los resultados con otras series del género y se ha evidenciado que la serie rompe con las narrativas típicas de la ciencia ficción. Asimismo, se destaca el tono crítico de la serie hacia las políticas de inmigración de la Unión Europea. The portray…
The idea of international solidarity at UNESCO is dwingling
2015
UNESCO’s role to building solidarity, peace and security internationally seems to be threatened and weakened. In 1946, UNESCO made a social contract to use culture, education and science as a tool for buiding international solidarity, peace and security. Its trajectory presents challenges related to vopice, representation, power and hegemony which often result in conflict in most parts of the globe. For instance, the recent acceptance of Palestine to UNESCO has increased tensions amongst states because of Palestine’s positioning in global peace processes. This research surfaces some of these challenges and recomends further research on how to ensure the independents of UNESCO in fulfilling …
Equity of Public Pension System
2020
Fairness is an important feature of pension systems, but it is a wide concept with multiple sides. In this chapter, we try to distinguish some of them with the aim of using the terms in a proper manner. More specifically, we have observed at least five meanings for the notion of fairness when applying to a pension system: justice, equity, neutrality, solidarity and integrity. We explain each sense of fairness and other related concepts. We also provide, when possible, a way to measure each of them, with some figures for a selected European countries.
La pensée métaphysique de Heidegger. La transcendance du Dasein comme source d'une metaphysica naturalis
2006
La publication relativement récente des manuscrits de Heidegger dans l"Édition complète (éditée depuis 1975) a permis la découverte des chemins qu"a empruntés cette pensée jusqu"à son « apparition publique » en 1927. Mais en plus de dévoiler tout un pan du travail antérieur à 1927 « l"herméneutique de la facticité », principalement, la parution de ces cours a permis d"éclairer une partie assez méconnue du travail effectué immédiatement après Sein und Zeit, soit l"élaboration d"une « métaphysique du Dasein ». Dès 1929, le texte Kant und das Problem der Metaphysik avait rendu visible mais dans une certaine mesure seulement les modifications que subissait alors la pensée heideggérienne. Ce n"e…

In this article we explore the effects that new information and communication technologies (ICTs) have on family relations in Finland. The idea of ‘new connectivities’ works as a starting point for...

Conclusion and Discussion
2021
It would seem that European Politics are currently enrolled in a constant flux of uncertainty and anxiousness. The Institutional Matrix and Community of states that make up the Union seemingly cannot catch a break as they meander through a succession of crises and challenges. These are taking their toll on the EU, its unity in decision making, and countries’ commitment to ever closer Union. The sovereign debt crisis and so-called Greek Euro Crisis shook the tacit belief in the current economic architecture of the bloc and questioned the belief in intra-European solidarity. Shortly thereafter, the refugee crisis saw European States adopt ad hoc and sometimes contradictory measures for border…
Measuring Social Solidarity. Some Research Notes
2012
Abstract There is an increasing public, political and research interest in social solidarity. Even though the concept has a long history and is embedded in solid approaches, there is not much literature concerned with its measurement. The paper falls into the area of the methodological studies of social solidarity and it deals with construct validation. The objective of this paper is to test for convergent validity and nomological validity of two sets of items aiming to measure social solidarity attitudes and acts. The main method employed is confirmatory factor analysis.
Education, Work and Life
2018
In this chapter, I will study the relationship between education and working life from a few viewpoints. First, I will examine how everyday working life has changed and how education has to change. Second, I will depict how the practices of both education and the working world can and should be researched in terms of the theory of practice architectures. Third, I will come back to reflect on the relationships between work, education and life. The work that people do has increasingly been immaterialized. Working life has been detached from material production which is more and more automated and robotically driven. According to a Swiss professor Schwab (2015, 2016), we have already moved int…
