Engineering Without Borders of the Basque Country (ISF - MGI), we are an NGO that develops its activity in the heart of university and in intrenational cooperation for development. We aim to involve people of different studies, experiences and cultures, into a Sustainable Human Development filosophy in which science and technology serve to social and emotional ends, towards wellbeing and in harmony with nature. We are comitted to a transforming education that questions the stereotypes under which we have been educated, the recognition hierarchy of the different disciplines, the social structure under which the paths that have brought us to present have been moulded, and ultimately, the educating system. We aim for a participative education, where comprehension has to do with an inner transformation of the person, and whose work is based on solving people's real problems, with the purpose of encouraging a science and technology at the service of people. With this purpose we have published Aplicación del Enfoque de Género en Proyectos TFG y TFM (Applying a Gender Perspective on End of Degree and End of Masters Reseach Papers), which aims to be a practical guide to afront investigation with a gender perspective. In the same we enphasise the areas in which ISF-MGI works: science and technology, university and international cooperation for development, although it could be valid for any discipline. With this guide we offer some clues on how to put on our "purple glasses" and collaborate in trnasforming the university through a feminist point of view. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Population aging has positioned as a key demographic change. This paper analyzes the characteristics of older adults in situations of dependence, care strategies and the profile of caregivers for Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, El Salvador and Uruguay. The population in a situation of functional dependence is mostly female and over 75 years old. Between 54% and 70% receive some type of care, with unpaid family care being the main care strategy. Unpaid caregivers are mostly women, under 65, and economically inactive. We evidence a negative relationship between the status of elderly caregiver and employment, that is stronger for women. Although elderly informal care leads to a lower probability of employment among individuals of all ages and income quintiles, the employment gap between caregivers and non-caregivers narrows substantially among higher-income people. Improving care for older people would have positive effects on female employment and inequality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study was to develop a benchmark method to identify best practices in higher education across the country, in relation with management practices of academic productivity gender gaps and their impact on family responsibilities. This paper uses a qualitative approach to collect relevant information from official web pages from sixteen international universities previously selected. All information related to best practices policies implemented in each university was charted and assigned to one of the following categories for further analysis: ranking, gender policies, gender gaps, academic productivity, and childcare responsibilities. Results from this study revealed that the main best practices implemented in the included universities were practices related to harassment prevention, gender equality at college admission, development of protocols, leadership training, scholarships for study and research programs, adequate infrastructure, childcare financial support, flexible work schedules, family leave policies, improvement of the work environment and the development of departments in charge of follow-up and regular assessment of the proposed strategies.

In recent years, the gender agenda has permeated all policy areas and has gained relevance through the constant work of organisations that have succeeded in making issues and challenges visible. This paper examines the interaction between international politics and the gender agenda in Argentina during the presidency of Alberto Fernández (2019-2023). Based on a triangulation of information gathered from interviews, official documents, and news reports, the paper aims to analyse, in the context of recent foreign policy, what kind of decisions are linked to the gender agenda, and at the same time, what international projection the gender policies implemented at the local level have. We propose that the gender agenda has opened up a space in Argentine foreign policy in a short period and that it has done so mainly based on the country’s trajectory in the international sphere linked to human rights and the discussion of inequalities in the world. The creation of the Ministry of Women, Gender and Diversity has been crucial, projecting the country into global gender debates in an institutionalised way. Although concrete policies are developing in some cases, the agendas in this dual track demonstrate that these profound social demands have come to the state to stay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Science as an object of knowledge has been a central concern of the social sciences since the first decades of the 20th century. However, the object itself is neither static nor unchanging, and has been transformed over time. In recent decades, the innovative approach of gender studies has gained considerable ground in the social studies of science. While some of them have paid attention to the relations of the professional field with the family sphere and have investigated the ways in which structural factors of the life course play an important role in research careers, there are still few theoretical and empirical contributions that think of science as productive work highly articulated with social reproduction. Although this axis of enquiry is still incipient in social studies of science, it is consolidated within the social sciences hand in hand with labour studies and feminist economics. Within the framework of the important contributions made, this paper seeks to review the existing literature and a conceptual approach to the understanding of scientific work and its articulations with reproductive work, taking gender as a category of analysis. The paper is organised in four parts: in the first section we will review the critiques of the concept of work inherited from modernity and we will focus on thinking of science as work with specificities; in the second section we will address the processes of social reproduction in terms of the articulation of spheres; in the third section we will consider the study of gender and science; in the fourth section, we will describe the way in which this conceptual proposal operates in the empirical study carried out; finally, we will present a systematisation of the concepts developed throughout the paper and a conceptual approach to their approach.

Energy poverty is a phenomenon understood as the result of conditions extrinsic and intrinsic to the household, although it is within this space where it manifests with greater intensity. This article identifies and analyzes the strategies deployed by households and, particularly, by women as the main historical responsible parties for the management of household resources to mitigate the causes and consequences of energy poverty in an electricitydependent urban locality in Argentina. Using the focus group technique, the study takes the voices of the protagonists and their experiences to qualitatively identify and analyze the strategies and practices women deploy in their daily lives to alleviate the consequences of energy poverty. These strategies and practices impact the organization of household resources and the physical and mental health of women due to their role in domestic and caregiving tasks. Although the women's proposal is to build learning spaces about energy usage that bolster their strategies, this would further reinforce the gendered distribution of domestic labor, which is why this paper suggests the design of multi-scalar policies.

In this paper we seek to contribute to the denunciation of the labor precariousness experienced by the social area in Chile, through the analysis of an experience of resistance to capitalism beyond traditional views and strategies. Trabajo gigante is a forum-theatre play that emerges as a practice of resistance not only anti-capitalist, but also anti-patriarchal, articulating the dimensions of class and gender. Likewise, forum-theatre emerges as a technique of the theatre of the oppressed that subverts certain logics of political action by using art in the service of popular and union struggles. Don Patricio is the name of one of the characters who, being male, boss and businessman, expresses the hegemonic masculinity of social enterprises in Chile. Here we analyze this figure in order to dismantle the complicities between capitalism and patriarchy in such contexts of struggle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we intend to recover and reflect on the valuable contributions that gender studies, feminists and queer theory have added to social inequalities's analysis and problematization. We are referring to a production process of critical knowledge that temporarily exceeds 40 years of democracy and spatially exceeds our university. However, we will think from a local perspective about the ways in which this knowledge contributes to the democratization of scientific productions and goes beyond the limits of the academy. We will do it from Social Work, recovering its heuristic value for democratic construction and from the experience of teaching the subject Gender and Social Work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, many states have incorporated gender perspectives into their foreign policies, and this has become a relevant topic in International Relations. This paper investigates the extent to which the Movimiento al Socialismo (mas) indigenist foreign policy has laid the groundwork for advancing towards the inclusion of a feminist approach in Bolivia’s international agenda. The case study is grounded in decolonial studies and community feminism. The main argument is that Bolivian foreign policy between 2006 and 2022 clearly influenced by Andean indigenous thought and the Buen Vivir cosmovision—provided the programmatic and discursive bases to envision the construction of an international agenda with a gender perspective that includes women and indigenous historical demands within a decolonial and communitarian vision. At the domestic level, Bolivia has promoted women’s inclusion and their claims, but at the international level, it did not generate programmes with a depatriarchalizing discourse. The article shows that a foreign policy based on Andean indigenous beliefs and demands has created an opportunity to integrate marginalised groups into the Foreign Ministry, but this integration has yet to materialise. This research is qualitative in nature, drawing on information from various sources: key informant interviews, archival work, and secondary sources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent decades, at the same time that the problems of women and diversity in relation to entry and permanence in the labor market have gained visibility, gender and diversity issues have occupied a relevant place on the public agenda. In this framework, this work aims to know and analyze the gender and diversity policies implemented in national public companies in Argentina. This is an exploratory and descriptive study where regulations, documents and public information on the development and implementation of policies aimed at reducing gender inequalities in national public companies were surveyed. Specifically, this paper presents a systematization of the surveyed actions, their link with current regulations and ministerial authorities, and the presence of heterogeneity of actions carried out in the different companies.

This paper aims to analyse how gender relations interact in labour socialisation in the Moroccan export industry - based on a case study of the city of Casablanca - and the relationship with international migration. The paper uses qualitative research, with analysis based on grounded theory and an intersectional studies approach. The global labour market emerges as a new axis of inequality creating new spaces that keep the majority in a precarious position. The paper's original contribution is to apply the intersectional theoretical framework to the Moroccan context, focusing on a relational view of the categories. Identifying three basic social processes (role of women, crisis of masculinity and migration) allows us to expand the knowledge about this reality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes Butler's theory of performative acts and her criticism of a substantialist or essentialist theory of gender through the Leibnizian theory of intentional action, with the aim of showing that we cannot dissociate performativity of intentionality, nor, consequently, of a practical understanding of personal identity. To achieve this goal, I proceed as follows: first, I analyze Butler's theory of gender and her notion of performativity through her critique of naturalistic or essentialist theories of gender; second, I confront her theory of performativity with the Leibnizian theory of intentional actions and his notion of moral agency; third, I sketch two conclusions: 1) we can only talk about performativity in terms of intentionality, and 2) talking about performative acts does not imply dissociating gender from our personal identity.

This paper is based on an understanding of the global immigration control regime as one of legal violence. It analyses the specialist literature that reveals the existence of an economy of deportability, understood as the unequal distribution of the forms of state power in the lives and freedoms of non-nationals, with gender playing a preponderant role. Taking a gender perspective, a selection of texts from the past two decades are reviewed that analyse the deportation and anti-trafficking apparatus in Europe, the United States and South America. The literature corroborates the existence of a gendered economy of deportability that generates social suffering that, in different ways and to differing degrees, shapes the (im)migrant presence in the national order.

Prison intervention/treatment actions are aimed at addressing the in/reintegration of convicted persons. However, there are few references and results of these actions. This paper aims to analyze the intervention programs in Spain and their relationship with the processes of female in/reinsertion and recidivism. A descriptive univariate and bivariate analysis was performed on a sample of 310 female inmates surveyed in open regime. The results indicate that employment education programs are most in demand, followed by life skills and gender-based violence programs. There is greater participation in the ordinary regime (between 50% and 60%), with repeat offenders standing out (75.3%), which questions the adequacy of their needs in professional actions. The findings show the importance of updating the penitentiary interventionaction from a socio-educational and gender perspective, adapted to the characteristics of women for their in/reinsertion.

The aim of this paper is to study the scientific productivity of researchers in Chile during 2019, based on a descriptive bibliometric analysis of the scientific articles published during that year. For this purpose, we worked with the SciVal and Dataciencia databases from which we obtained data on publications per researcher, number of publications, their h-index, and number of citations. The results show a gender difference in the number of publications and consequently in the h-index. Thus, women publish less than their male counterparts, which in turn has an impact on their lower average h-index, establishing a gender gap in the scientific publications of that year. The results show that men predominate in the group of the most productive researchers. Similarly, there is an underrepresentation of female authors in the scientific productivity of greater impact; on the contrary, their male counterparts stand out for a higher average number of publications and a higher h-index.

Colombia is one of the most inequal countries in Latin America, which at the same time, is the most inequal region of the world. Even though this situation is discouraging it is not new, the difference lays on the importance that this situation has been taken in the political agenda in the nation, awakening multiple expectative between the citizens who has been the eternal losers: the poor. This paper focuses on the challenges that the new government of Gustavo Petro faces in matter of the inequality and poverty that affects over the half of the population in Colombia, at the same time provides a context of the Colombian case in the conjuncture of global and regional socioeconomic changes that incident on the chances of fulfill structural transformations at the social policy. Although this research acknowledges a large spectrum of inequalities existing in the territory (gender, generational, ethnic, racial) it focusses on the income inequality. This analysis takes place based on the data of specialized sources on the subject and the monitoring fluctuations of inequality in Colombia in the last decade. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper/essay, the representations of trans people in Spanish series both on television and on streaming platforms will be analyzed, paying special attention to the new forms of masculinities, referred to as dissidents. From the pioneer Farmacia de Guardia to much more recent series such as Vis a Vis or Todo lo otro, there will be an analysis of the main characteristics of the trans characters (age, sex, social class, etc.), the reactions that they spark around them (acceptance, rejection, ignorance), as well as the story offered about transsexuality (if it is seen as a pathology, if there is a desire to change one’s physical appearance through hormones and/ or surgery, if the conception of having been born in the wrong body persists, etc.). It will be seen how this representation intersects and questions hegemonic masculinity. Finally, it will be observed how transsexuality is becoming progressively more visible in Spanish series, helping its normalization through different characters who bring this reality closer to the public, although not always in an inclusive way [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the workplace, some conditions based on social stereotypes hinder a working woman from accessing the same professional development opportunities as a male; therefore, the purpose of this research paper was to create and validate the Glass Ceiling Scale. An instrumental empirical study was carried out with a non-probabilistic sample of 203 Mexican women who worked during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis yielded acceptable fit index values (NFI = .832, TLI = .900, CFI = .918, and RMSEA = .62) and with a reliability coefficient of α = .816. The scale was made up of 15 items in three factors: Overload, Glass Ceiling and Family-Work Balance, with the three-factor model being the ideal structure to measure the construct. Results show evidence that the scale has the due psychometric properties for use in the study population and thereby generate reliable diagnoses that lead to organizational strategies to make visible and eradicate this phenomenon.

The COVID-19 pandemic and particularly, mitigation measures taken by government institutions in Mexico, such as the closure of all schools at all levels of education, have brought strong regressive consequences in terms of both education and gender equality. In this paper, we start from a theoretical framework of gender and family to analyze, along with the negative repercussions of this measure (especially for women and children), an embodied experience of upbringing and community education in Mexico. This experience seeks to preserve educational and labor rights violated by school closures such as sociability, guardianship and custody of minors, the right to a life free of violence, work-life balance, among others. Our aim is to suggest some keys for an ecofeminist and community solution to the education crisis in this country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We discuss in this paper the role played by family solidarities and the gender system in the processes involved in putting down roots in rural spaces. To this end we consider two ethnographic cases, two life trajectories, of a man and a woman. They are coffee producers in southern Chiapas (Soconusco region) and belong to a generation, born around 1950, who lived two distinct historical moments: an initial socialization structured around agrarian production and the ejido; and beginning in the 1990s, in a new phase of their families' life trajectories, this generation faces de-agriculturalization and individualization of the labor market and state intervention. The paper reveals the weight of gender roles in family solidarities, because men and women do not inherit the same resources nor the same obligations within families. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the latest doctrine of the Supreme Court on the conflicting nullity of territorial planning due to defects in its elaboration procedure, specifically on three causes, economic memory; reports on the impact of gender, family, childhood and adolescence; and environmental assessment of alternatives. This jurisprudential doctrine has been established in the resolution of several appeals against the plan for the protection of the Valencian coastline. However, the action of the court of first instance resolving the more than fifty appeals filed without assessing all the reasons alleged by the parties, has the consequence that this conflict has not been closed yet, and the matter has been returned to the court of instance to assess all the reasons raised by the parties.

This article analyzes the role of women in communication research. It does so by studying their presence/absence in the bibliographies of the syllabus of 108 theoretical courses of journalism degrees taught in 36 colleges in Spain during the 2020-2021 academic year. The work investigates the roles and presences of women in the field of communication, measuring the degree of visibility of women scientists and their contributions in a statistical and comparative way to that of male researchers, quantifying the citation patterns according to the gender of the authors. The data were analyzed with the free statistical software R (version 4.0.3) and a descriptive and inferential analysis was performed. The main results regarding the citation patterns of the research are: 1) an under-citation of publications written by female scientists; 2) an over-citation of publications by male researchers; and 3) the nonexistence of gender homophily (researchers do not tend to cite more authors of their same gender), since female authors are little cited and this low visibility is due to both female and male faculty members. The most referenced author is Elizabeth Noelle-Neumann, one of the few "classics" present, indicating a Matilda effect regarding the historical erasure of female contributions. In conclusion, the paper argues for the need to transform not only citation practices, but an entire scientific culture that denies women as a source of reference and authority from the early stages of university education.

This paper reflects on the gender perspective, historicization and decolonization as part of a theoretical-methodological proposal, to understand the gender systems that support masculinities and models of being a man, linked to reproduction and contemporary indigenous survival in Mexico. It constitutes a first effort of reflective analysis, on how to approach these ethnicized and gendered realities, specifically on masculinities and being a man. To do this, we start by discussing the contributions of some gender studies of men and masculinities, which do not constitute an exhaustive and updated review, but only an approximation to the growing knowledge base, to support the methodological proposal with which it seeks to understand the patriarchal, heterosexist and colonizing constraints on men and women of indigenous peoples. In this work, it is argued that re-readings of these realities are required through theoretical-methodological proposals that are sensitive to these realities, in order to stop the homogenizing views of the indigenous gendered subject, specifically the masculinized one from westernized gender systems.

The paper examines the message contained in video games for young audiences. The study analyzed one of the many stories that could be generated in the video game Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V). The analysis model places special emphasis on the microsequencies that build meaning to the viewer, particularly those related to the gender perspective, as an axis to identify hierarchies and power relationships. Gender violence is evident in the teenagers consumption videogame culture, which generates, transmits and reproduces a type of hegemonic and discriminatory thinking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to research the persistence of gender stereotypes in contemporary Spanish advertisements promoting Mr. Clean cleaning products. To analyze the selected advertisements, according to the method of opportunistic sampling, we have used the technique of qualitative content analysis and compared 10 Mr. Clean ads with 10 ads of other brands. The results show the persistence of gender stereotypes in most Mr. Clean ads. In most of the selected ads, women are the ones performing the cleaning tasks, while men are associated more with strength and expert work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on an ethnographic and artistic approach to research in an "addiction" treatment center on the periphery of Mexico City, this paper reflects on the following question: How is young women's subjectivity constructed as they move through different life spaces, such as addiction treatment centers, the street, detention centers, and homes? Through various mapping exercises with a gender lens, young women explored the articulation between their body, the street, and their memory. These revealed spatiotemporal conceptualizations that shed light on the disciplining of addicted bodies and their own spatial productions. As a result of this work, we present the idea of transgression path to understand howsubjectivities are constructed based on the experience of inhabiting different spaces that have been important for them throughout their lives: the street, homes and public institutions. On these paths, young women shape their subjectivities through circulation and intermittency, bodily experimentations and mental gaps, experience of the street, and bodily performance.

Are there differences between adolescent men and women in terms of knowledge about climate change? How do adolescents perceive the climate crisis depending on their gender? In order to answer these questions, we carried out a meta-analysis on a sample of 84 international papers selected by conducting a systematic review methodology. To achieve that aim, we identified studies that showed differences according to the gender variable in terms of knowledge, perceptions, and/or opinions among adolescents pursuing secondary education. A total of 26 out of 84 papers (30.95%)"concentrated between 1993 and 2017"addressed gender differences regarding climate change. The meta-analysis revealed that women score lower than men on knowledge about climate change, with the difference increasing as they move forward in their respective secondary education courses. However, women are found to attribute greater risk to the climate crisis, they are more concerned about the problem, and "unlike men, who have a more technical worldview"they show greater ecocentric willingness to accept measures to address it.

Public Administrations have a significant role to play in improving opportunities in public employment for people with disabilities. The main objective of this paper is to verify the importance of effectively achieving more diverse, inclusive, and egalitarian public administrations. The research covers the degree of implementation of the existing regulations on access to public employment; specifically, the process of applying corrective measures for possible inequalities that strengthen protection and guarantee effective equality of opportunities in access to public sector employment for women with disabilities. Despite the enormous normative production, this study shows the lack of practical specificity and the need for greater involvement in the implementation and evaluation of the actions design. The year 2020 is a turning point for the incorporation of a more cross-sectional approach, made concrete through a shift in the organisational paradigm towards diversity, which is yet to be realised.

This paper re-examines the expressions síis k‘ab (cold hand) and chokoj k‘ab (hot hand) frequently mentioned in ethnographic descriptions of the hot-cold system among the Mayan-speaking population of the Yucatán peninsula. Using a linguistic-cognitive approach that integrates contextual information, the internal structure and semantic content of the expressions under study are explored. The analysis of the data obtained during fieldwork in the eastern part of the state of Yuestudios catan allows us to draw two main conclusions: the first is that síis k‘ab and chokoj k‘ab constitute metonymies of the hand, and the second is that the metonymic use of this part of the body constitutes the basis of the metaphors k‘ulu‘ k‘ab (raccoon hand) and sayab k‘ab (spring hand), whose analysis complements the present study. In addition, the connection between the identified metonymies and metaphors and a set of activities that to this day play a fundamental role in the daily life of Maya communities is outlined. Thus, the study contributes to broaden our understanding of metonymic and metaphoric patterns and processes in Yucatec Maya as well as of the local hot-cold system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we propose to address the participation of women in the Peronist Resistance between 1955 and 1966 from a gender perspective. The statements given by male activists, tend to show women in a support role and in activities in which they performed traditional gender roles in order to avoid repression. Here, we try to offer a different framework. We consider women's forms of political intervention trying to overcome the anecdotal and romantic tinted lenses of those stories. In order to do this, we will analyze two types of documents. On one hand, interviews with activists about their resistance actions. On the other, ordinary justice's judicial files during the government of the Revolución Libertadora and military court files of the CONINTES Plan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates wage discrimination against workers with disabilities, as well as its interactions with other social markers of inequality, gender and race/color, using data from the 2010 Demographic Census (IBGE). Four types of disability are investigated: visual, hearing, motor, and mental. A multivariate regression model controlling for occupational fixed effects was used. The results indicate that there is wage discrimination for the four types of disability analyzed. It is observed that the greatest discrimination occurs for workers with severe visual impairment, followed by physical disabilities and, lastly, mental and hearing disabilities. However, such discrimination is of small magnitude when compared to other social markers of inequality, such as gender and race/color. The effect of gender, for example, is six times greater than that of visual impairment while non-white people suffer almost four times more discrimination. When considering the accumulation of the social markers of inequality, disability, gender, and race/color, it is confirmed that black women with and without disabilities are those who suffer the most from wage discrimination in Brazil.

This paper is a revision of the female correctional project managed by Buen Pastor's congregation in Córdoba at the end of XIX century and the beginning of XX century, from a descolonial feminism perspective. Focusing specifically on the wide range of subjectivities that inhabited Cárcel Correccional de Mujeres y Asilo de Menores del Buen Pastor and on correcting strategies, such as job training, I identified relations that allow to spot a gender colonial arrangement that aimed at securing domination and assuring hegemony. Underlying fictions of race, gender and class in this society were identified through the implementation of colocación and weaving of actors that is implied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores interpretations made by the press, specialists, citizens, and authorities of the Mexican capital regarding the phenomenon of youth gangs from 1956 to 1965. The analysis stresses that the city’s socio-spatial differentiation in those years was central in explanations about and representations of youth gangs; such differentiation also played a central role in the actions authorities took against young gangs, and the social perception of their dangerousness. Thus, the aforementioned social sectors outlined two contrasting stereotypes, which shared one common point: sexual violence. Rebeldes sin causa (rebels without a cause) and pandilleros (gang members) were social types that intertwined expressions of moral panic and feelings of insecurity, which perpetuated territorial stigmas concerning proletarian neighborhoods and slums, as well as gender discourses that influenced the urban experience of their inhabitants.

This paper explores the newly created role of the gender editor that some media have started introducing in newsrooms with a double goal: to include the gender perspective in news coverage and to claim equal working conditions. This paper analyzes six newspapers, legacy and digital natives, from Spain and the United States. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with five gender editors to understand the responsibilities attributed to this new role as well as and the causes of their creation, both from a social and an economic perspective.

This paper presents the analysis and valuation of an individual, temporary, and leveled-prime life insurance. It starting point is an analogy between contract rules and a financial exotic option. In particular, a cash or nothing option. Several cases are presented from a person with different age and gender, and sensitivity to different probability distributions are tested using Monte Carlo simulation. All cases are adjusted to Argentinean recent data in order to estimate exercise prices, main variable to estimate the contract value. Prime market values used on this work are more than double than the theoretical value found on the exotic option while comparing them to identical contract conditions such as insured amount, time frame and demographic conditions of the individual.

The academic research that includes any reference to Santa Fe's municipal female suffrage is scarce and nominal. In this paper, I propose to outline the routes of women's municipal suffrage in the province of Santa Fe. The central exercise is the visibility in order to answer basic, essential questions: what, who, when, where, how, for what, and why. As hypotheses, we propose that changing the scale from a gender perspective will allow us to see different aspects (Fernández "La historia" 19) and "write a more diverse, heterogeneous history, different from the Argentine nation" (Palermo "La historia" 32), which relativizes the predominant "national fact", including female suffrage's histories.

The aim of this paper is to make a qualitative assessment of youthful transitions when finishing secondary school. The main issue addressed by this work revolves around the way in which the young undergo this process while attending their last year of secondary education. The analysis was performed by considering the youth collective’s experiences and post-secondary expectations, which are largely connected with their unique vision in relation to the future they discern for themselves in local scenarios. An in-depth survey was conducted among a purposive sample of young people that attended state-run secondary schools during the 2016-2017 school years. The interviews enquired into the assessment, meanings, feelings, wishes and mandates that characterise this turning point. The findings of the study were then classified into four encompassing categories: educational, socioeconomic, personal, and cultural. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The intersections of various inequalities impact the lives of amazigh women in Morocco. This paper addresses the situation of special vulnerability experienced by these amazigh women: for being women, indigenous and rural population. Thus patriarchy, racism and classism intersect, weaving a construct of oppression. But along with making visible and denouncing the situation of vulnerability of amazigh women, we also want to value the contributions of these women to the development of their communities, the wellbeing of their families and the sustainability of life. Through the recognition of their identity, and from their historical-cultural legacy, these women are moving from vulnerability to empowerment. The amazigh women's agency and its resistance are a source of learning and inspiration for the construction of cultures to make peace(s). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we explore the hair and beard grooming narratives of fourteen upper-middle-class men aged between 27 and 40 years from Lima, as well as those of barbers and barbershop managers. We conduct in-depth interviews and analyze their thematic and interpretive content. We find that the interviewees use various strategies to avoid being feminized by their interest in grooming. At the same time, the subjects seek to match their hairstyle and/or beard with their clothing and body type in order to appear well turned-out; in Peru, this practice is strongly linked to racial, gender and class narratives.

Objective: The objective of this paper is to reflect on changes in gender relations in families and parenthood in Mexico. Methodology: Methodologically, documentary information between 1987 and 2020 was consulted. Classic texts that allow locating the changes in meanings around childhood and the relationship of parents with their children are incorporated, since the relationship, care and attention was not always considered a priority as it is today. Results: The results show how the cultural transformations based on the commitments assumed in the International Conference on Population and Development, and World Conferences on women, Mexico City (1975) and Beijing (1995), incorporate actions to involve men in gender equal rights and fatherhood. Conclusion: The conclusion suggests how involvement in families leads them to reconcile participation in various settings, building complex identities as men/couples/parents/workers.

Transdisciplinary dialogue between feminist theories and other approaches is fundamental. The purpose of this paper is to present a theoretical reflection on the pertinence of incorporating the Feminist Standpoint Theory within the psychosocial perspective of Symbolic Interactionism developed from the Chicago School. We find this possibility at various convergence points between both stances: the opposition to positivism and scientificism; the interest in disarticulating essentialist conceptions; a situated, partial and processual vision of the construction of knowledge; the openness to implement various methods; and an investigative orientation based on intersubjectivity and experience. In this way, the possibilities of analysis and interpretation of one frame are neither accessory nor complementary to the other. Instead, we suggest thinking of a Feminist Symbolic Interactionism through the discussion of its epistemological, conceptual and methodological implications. What underlays in this theoretical positioning is an analytical and political enunciation platform that allows a critical psychosocial approach to inequality and other phenomena.

In this paper I study the graphic series entitled Negro Woman (1946) by the American-Mexican artist Elizabeth Catlett. I rely on the concept of "postmemory" in relation to the slavery suffered by the artist's grandparents, as the base to interpret her desire to create consciousness on the double oppression experienced by black women, both in the past and in the present moment. Working in the artistic context of the Taller de Gráfica Popular, Catlett introduced in mid-century México the intersectionality of gender and race in a very explicit and forceful way.

This article discusses the temporal structure of daily life in two historical neighborhoods in San José City. These neighborhoods are Cristo Rey and Escalante. This paper shows how this structure or architecture behaves like a political time-economy through the time. The logic that organizes daily time in both neighborhood spaces is the social division of labor and the social division of gender. The article also shows that the people who live in Cristo Rey experiment daily routine. And those who live in Escalante neighborhood have flexible time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper offers a reflection on the inclusion of the gender perspective in the university classroom, specifically, within the compulsory subject of Strategies for communication in multilingual groups of the Degree in Social Education at the University of Almería (Spain). In this, a didactic training proposal for Social Education students is proposed from the parameters of Critical Discourse Analysis to determine what discursive strategies the Spanish press uses to refer to refugee-type migrants, especially women. For this, the corpus created by the R + D DIPURE Project (The Public Discourse on Refugees in Spain) was used, since we consider that the results of the analysis will collaborate in recognizing possible stereotypes and prejudices that can be transmitted in this public discourse of the media, in this case Spanish, to be able to be combated and overcome in the framework of a democratic society that pursues equity and equality between women and men.

The paper presents the state of question and a brief historical sketch of ecofeminism, its impact on ethics, its interdisciplinary method, and the challenges it presents for theology. The main interest of this feminist current consists in its approach towards sustainability, overcoming anthropocentrism and androcentrism. Connections are shown between the feminine condition and the exploitation of the planet and the evolution of the discipline from a movement of anthropological thought towards a current of bridging dialogue between ecological, gender and ethical concerns. The incipient ecofeminist spirituality is the means for the praxis of a biophilic human life where theology can find a future of relevance and influence in society and politics, through the promotion of women.

The feminist discourse of the late 20th century, on the diversity of female and male identities, has been subjected to a profound critique of feminist research itself in the plural context of the 21st century. The debate has gone beyond the academic and has extended to the media and the church. We are therefore witnessing an extension of the historical “Women’s Quest” which began at the end of the 14th century on the intellectual capacity of women to reflect on themselves and create knowledge. Querelle in the 21st century has centered on the debate about gender. The intention of this paper is to help clarify some aspects of the notion of gender and to make visible the different positions on it, as well as to set out some interpretative keys that can favour an internal dialogue, where meeting rather than confrontation is the main thing.

This article is based on a fieldwork carried out in the lands of a former rural property in Northeastern Brazil. I consider the history of this property as told by its old inhabitants, who still live there. I intend to demonstrate that the content as well as the social dynamics of their narrations leave out the experiences and the accounts of women. Also, the categories of social sciences that I take to the fieldwork are predominantly associated with masculine experiences. In this paper I explore the marginalized narratives that fall outside the history of this place. In these, specific gender experiences emerge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The first complaint about sexual violence as a form of torture in the Algerian war concerns Djamila Boupacha. Her case was defended in the Algerian and French courts by the feminist lawyer Gisèle Halimi, and it had a massive public impact thanks to the support of Simone de Beauvoir and the mobilisation of a committee composed mainly of women, which sought to raise the political and legal profile of a matter which was destined to remain hidden. The paper assesses the anti-colonial and anti-patriarchal stance on which it is based, analyses the entire judicial process, and highlights the issues that herald the evolution of law towards gender justice.

The purpose if this paper is to explore the linguistic and creative potential of lexical units resulting from the compression of words or phrases, by analyzing the language of the written press. The linguistic status of the abbreviated units is not uncontroversial, they are accommodating their external configuration, pronunciation and morphosyntactic features to common words. The adaptation of the abbreviations takes place through their lexicalization, semantic demotivation, phonological and spelling accommodation, active participation in word formation. Phono-graphemic and morphological variation (with respect to the gender, plural forms, grammar categories of noun and adjective, hyphenation, use of capital or small letters) is related, on the one hand, to the continuous and growing use of the abbreviations in the language and, on the other, to the absence of the conventional usage norms. High frequency and widespread use to save space and effort come together with the search of stylistic effects, explaining why the abbreviations are widely present in feature articles.
