Graphic Interpretation Eileen Gray and Charlotte Perriand
2015
The article deals with the study of two projects of Eileen Gray, an architect who had turned her perception of reality into formal delicacy and Charlotte Perriand, who was able to promote the emphasis of collective and rational living. The article proposes the “graphic re-interpretation” or redrawing of some unbuilt Eileen Gray and Charlotte Perriand’s projects designed in response to the social problems arising in 1936. Their projects of minimum temporary houses are a manifesto through which they investigates other principles of the Modern Movement with the variety of composition of small spaces in relation to the inside well-being at the human scale. The redrawing practice, shown in this …
Intimate male partner violence impairs immune control over herpes simplex virus type 1 in physically and psychologically abused women.
2004
OBJECTIVE: Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is a worldwide problem and a cause of significant distress and threat to health. Studies have focused mainly on mental health, and few have considered the effect on physiological systems. The aim of this research was to determine whether IPV also compromises the immune system, as evidenced by a decrease in immune regulation over herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), the latent virus that causes cold sores. METHODS: Physically abused (N = 47) and psychologically abused women (N = 27) were compared with nonabused control women (N = 37). Information about sociodemographic characteristics, lifetime history of victimization, and mental heal…
Psychological intimate partner violence: the major predictor of posttraumatic stress disorder in abused women.
2004
Intimate partner violence (IPV) significantly impacts women mental and physical wellbeing and therefore represents a worldwide public health problem. A clear association between IPV and increased risk to develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been documented. However, few studies examined how different features of IPV (physical, psychological, sexual) interact with other traumatic stress experiences (physical, psychological and sexual childhood abuse and adulthood victimization by other/s than the partner) in determining PTSD. Women abused by the partner (n=75) were compared with non-abused control women (n=52). Information about sociodemographic profile and relevant personal char…
Child abuse in the context of intimate partner violence against women: The impact of women's depressive and posttraumatic stress symptoms on maternal…
2013
Intimate male partner violence against women has been recognized as an important public health problem, with a high impact on women’s mental health, including depressive and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. However, fathers who have been involved in intimate partner violence (IPV) have an increased probability of being violent toward their children. The aim of this study was to assess the relation between the mental health status of abused women, their partner’s violence toward the children, and their maternal behavior.
La destitución del mito. Christa Wolf y la reescritura de la memoria histórica
2018
En este ensayo se reconstruye el recorrido narrativo de Christa Wolf desde una perspectiva que propongo definir como destitución mitológica. Se fijan cuatro estaciones correspondientes con las cuatro novelas cruciales en la biografía literaria de la autora. La primera es El cielo partido, en la que Wolf trabaja con el concepto de Vergangenheitsbewältigung, es decir: una elaboración del pasado que permite su superación. La segunda es Muestra de infancia, en la que aparece la figura de la precisión fantástica, entendida como la única auténtica posibilidad de memoria histórica colectiva. Finalmente Casandra y Medea, donde este trabajo de rememoración encuentra su aplicación en la deconstrucció…
Suomalaisen perheen yhteisen sukunimen lyhyt historia
2016
Viimeistään 1900-luvulta lähtien on ajateltu, että yhteinen sukunimi symboloi suomalaista perhettä julkisissa yhteyksissä ja muodostaa perheenjäsenten yhteisen identiteetin perustekijän. Suomen lainsäädännön mukaan naiset olivat kuitenkin velvollisia ottamaan aviomiehensä sukunimen vain lyhyen aikaa, 1930-luvulta 1980-luvulle ulottuvalla ajanjaksolla. Pohdin artikkelissani, miksi 1800-luvun lopun ja 1900-luvun alkuvuosikymmenten ajatusmaailma vaikutti hyvin pitkään suomalaisten sukunimistöön. peerReviewed
El microcrédito como instrumento de empoderamiento y de lucha contra la pobreza de la mujer: el caso de la mujer senegalesa de Ziguinchor.
2014
El presente trabajo presenta el panorama socioeconómico de la región senegalesa de Ziguinchor y aborda los retos de empoderamiento de las mujeres y la reducción de la pobreza a través de la concesión de microcréditos. Para ello se han realizado entrevistas en profundidad a mujeres de escasos recursos económicos beneficiarias de un programa nacional de microcrédito. El trabajo se apoya también en diversos estudios e investigaciones que tratan la cuestión. La hipótesis de partida es que el microcrédito permite a las mujeres adquirir recursos económicos que les ayuda a sacar a sus familias de la pobreza y favorece su empoderamiento. This paper presents the socioeconomic landscape of the Senega…
Constancy and evolution of an engaged writing : the work of Carmen de Burgos, journalist, essayist and novelist
2016
Carmen de Burgos died in 1932, leaving behind a considerable amount of written material: thousands of articles published in different newspapers, essays, novels and hundreds of “novelas cortas”. The works and the memory of this women’s rights activist were doomed to oblivion during Franco’s dictatorship. This thesis aims to rediscover and analyse these works from its various perspectives. We have been looking for the constant trends but also the evolutions. Carmen de Burgos has indeed evolved in her conception of the woman’s role and of the rights she had to acquire. In the early stages of her fight, she had been mainly focusing on the acquisition of equalitarian legal and social rights. Sh…
Reformulando las imágenes del poder en torno a la domesticidad: la educación formal e informal como base de la ciudadanía femenina
2010
Durante la revolución liberal española, la atribución de competencias femeninas en el ámbito de lo doméstico comportó la implementación de una educación diferencial en función del género y ralentizó la incorporación de las niñas en el sistema escolar. Desde esta perspectiva, el presente artículo se propone relacionar los discursos y prácticas de los distintos feminismos hispanos, de la Institución Libre de Enseñanza o del republicanismo respecto a la educación de las mujeres, con las doctrinas institucionales, las legislaciones y las nuevas doctrinas pedagógicas. El objetivo es dar cuenta de la forma en que estos sectores alternativos cuestionaron las normas del poder, modificaron las polít…
