Este artículo analiza los aspectos históricos del consumo mundial de vino y la noción de estatus y distinción social. El análisis se presenta a través del campo de la Historia Global, utilizando revisión bibliográfica y fuentes relacionadas para tejer una narrativa crítica y actual sobre el tema. El consumo de vino está intrínsecamente relacionado con factores histórico-geográficos y socioculturales, revelando procesos entrelazados con relaciones de poder asimétricas, jerarquía de clases, capital económico y cultural, predilecciones y exclusiones. La valoración de determinados estilos de vida –como, en este caso, el consumo conspicuo de vino– es un fenómeno social subjetivo cada vez más construido a través de la publicidad y las redes presenciales y virtuales, sujeto a continuos cambios. El análisis de la trayectoria histórica del consumo de vino como símbolo de estatus social representa una interesante oportunidad para superar un “mundo del vino” convencional y colonialista e inserta a los historiadores en el debate actual por una industria vitivinícola más sostenible y responsable con los trabajadores del vino, el medio ambiente. de las regiones productoras y el respeto a la salud del consumidor final.

Este artículo recoge los resultados de una encuesta realizada a traductores de lengua irlandesa acreditados por el gobierno. La encuesta aborda una determinada cohorte de traductores de una lengua minoritaria en un contexto lingüístico particular, en el cual la demanda institucional de traducción es cada vez mayor. Esta encuesta puede ser también una buena base para seguir investigando sobre la satisfacción laboral de los traductores. Los participantes de esta encuesta fueron personas apasionadas por la traducción y la lengua irlandesa, pero las condiciones de empleo afectaron notablemente sus preocupaciones y perspectivas respecto a su profesión. Todos los traductores declararon un fuerte sentimiento de orgullo por su trabajo; sin embargo, las percepciones de los participantes independientes sobre las metas y la equidad en el trabajo, el pago, los colegas y la seguridad laboral son desfavorables en comparación con las de sus colegas del servicio público a tiempo completo. Los independientes informaron que luchan por trabajar juntos frente a la disminución de las tarifas y que algunos aceptan trabajos mal pagados que van en contra de sus propios intereses y los de sus colegas. Muchos de los participantes independientes se sienten amenazados por la tecnología, el potencial de la traducción automática para reemplazar a los traductores humanos y su impotencia respecto a la reutilización de traducciones para la capacitación de la traducción automática. Las respuestas muestran un temor en cuanto al decrecimiento de la calidad de la traducción, la falta de talento traductor y la falta de una audiencia para las traducciones. Los participantes tienden a ser negativos sobre la política lingüística nacional irlandesa, pero consideran que la política a nivel de la UE es beneficiosa, ya que los próximos cambios supondrán una oportunidad para traductores cualificados.

In the elementary schools of Talca, there is evidence of segregating behaviors towards the economically vulnerable population. Based on this, the main objective of this research is to analyze the consequences of this exclusion towards people with a low socioeconomic level. The difficulties perceived by the students' monetary capital influence their educational, social, emotional and family development, affecting the right to receive a quality and equitable education, which allows their integral development as a person. Therefore, the solution to this problem is to provide information on the obstacles of economic vulnerability, to train teachers, so that they have effective tools and competencies that allow an equitable and quality education for all students regardless of the socioeconomic status to which they belong. Under this margin, it is fundamental to reduce the perception of education professionals on economic influence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Status systems bring social order to markets, but they are non-meritocratic arrangements that benefit those of a higher status and penalize those of a lower status. Paradoxically, these systems are also maintained by those who suffer the most from their inequalities. The literature tends to explain the persistence of these systems through macrooriented or micro-oriented mechanisms. We propose an alternative path by investigating relational mechanisms that might explain the persistence of this paradox. In an haute cuisine market, we used the social network analysis perspective to identify relational mechanisms that maintain this collective system. The results revealed a threerole structure of symbolic deference/appreciation (diffuse, selective, and egocentric). To conclude, we highlight the social order as a continuous tension between normality and chaos in the relationships between roles and the procedural aspect of structuring market roles, which we call authorizing the representation of a market category. Sistemas de status trazem ordem social aos mercados, mas eles são arranjos não meritocráticos que, em essência, privilegiam positivamente aqueles de mais alto status e penalizam desproporcionalmente aqueles de status inferior. Paradoxalmente, esses sistemas são mantidos não apenas por seus maiores beneficiados, mas também por aqueles que mais sofrem com suas desigualdades. A literatura tende a explicar a persistência desses sistemas por mecanismos macro ou micro orientados. Propomos uma via alternativa e complementar ao investigar os mecanismos relacionais que possam explicar a persistência desse paradoxo nas ordens de status. Tendo como objeto a hierarquia de status categórico de restaurantes em um mercado de alta gastronomia, empregamos a Perspectiva da Análise de Redes Sociais para identificar mecanismos relacionais (via modelagem em bloco) que atuam na manutenção desse sistema coletivo de produção de desigualdades. Os resultados da modelagem em bloco na rede de atribuição de deferências entre os produtores desse mercado revelaram uma estrutura de três papéis de deferência/apreciação simbólica (difusa, seletiva e egocentrada). Como conclusão, destacamos a ordem social como uma contínua tensão entre normalidade e caos nas relações entre papéis e o aspecto processual da estruturação de papéis dos mercados, o qual denominamos autorização da representação da categoria de mercado. Los sistemas de estatus traen orden social a los mercados, pero son arreglos no meritocráticos que benefician a los de mayor estatus y penalizan a los de menor estatus. Paradójicamente, estos sistemas también son mantenidos por quienes más sufren sus desigualdades. La literatura tiende a explicar la persistencia de estos sistemas por mecanismos macro o micro orientados. Proponemos un camino alternativo al investigar los mecanismos relacionales que pueden explicar la persistencia de esta paradoja. Teniendo como objeto la jerarquía de estatus categorial en un mercado de alta gastronomía, utilizamos la perspectiva de análisis de redes sociales para identificar mecanismos relacionales que mantienen este sistema colectivo de producción de desigualdades. Los resultados revelaron una estructura de deferencia/apreciación simbólica de tres roles (difusa, selectiva y egocéntrica). Para concluir, destacamos el orden social como una tensión continua entre la normalidad y el caos en las relaciones entre roles y el aspecto procedimental de la estructuración de roles de mercado, lo que llamamos: autorización de la representación de la categoría de mercado.

Taking Chilean society as a case study, this article is inserted in discussions on political power and economic elites, drawing attention to the importance of status. The objective is to propose an interpretation of the specificity of this crisis and of elite malaise in Chile today. To this end, an argument is presented based on the principles of interpretative historical sociology from Max Weber’s theory of stratification (the distinction between classes, status, and party) and the methodology of ideal types. On this basis, an analytical reasoning is presented in three moments – the first marked by the validity of the ideal type of señorial society; the second, by its crisis in the 1970s and by the recomposition of the elite domain after the coup d'état, when there was a successful restructuring of classes and parties and an insufficient status restoration; and the third moment characterized by the specificity of the current malaise of the elites in Chile which, unlike other political or economic crises, has its focus on the status order. Thus, attention is drawn to the need to complement the study of the relations between economic elites and political power, differentiating between legitimacy crises and status malaise.

This research responds to claims that status motivates car use. It extends understandings of what status is and of how status influences car use practices. The paper begins with a theoretical exploration of the concept of status and continues with a case study exploring how individuals in Christchurch, New Zealand, relate to status concerns associated with cars. Drawing on in-depth qualitative research, the paper finds that participants conceptualised status in terms of multidimensional hybrid assemblages of meaning. Further, a car had to match a person's wider social and cultural context in order to perform as a status symbol. Cars that symbolised a sense of intentional accomplishment or progression were most often associated with desired dimensions of status. The paper concludes by noting that status symbolism reflects a complex interplay of social dynamics, and that status is more than a characteristic of a material object. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Los órganos encargados de resolver los recursos especiales en materia de contratación tienen encomendada la labor de actuar con eficacia en la resolución de los recursos. Dicha labor se ejerce con plena independencia funcional en el ejercicio de sus competencias, pues aunque se trate de órganos administrativos, únicamente dependen de la administración que los creó desde el punto de vista organizativo, pero no jerárquico. De ahí, que se analice el estatus de los miembros de estos órganos y las diferencias existentes en su regulación. Además, se examina si estos órganos cuentan con infraestructura suficiente para concluir con la misión encomendada, en tanto que su situación es compleja, ya que la dotación de medios de apoyo queda al albur de la Administración que los ha creado y que también, es parte –en ocasiones– en los procedimientos de recurso especial.

En la decoración parietal de la Tumba Tebana 49, su propietario, Neferhotep, está representado junto con otros actores sociales desempeñando distintas actividades durante su vida terrena y en su proyección póstuma. Puede esperarse que algunas de estas expresiones visuales guarden altos grados de similitud con la realidad, mientras que otras se ajusten a una recreación de potenciales situaciones que ocurrirían a futuro, una vez que hubiese muerto. Al respecto, nos preguntamos si existe alguna clase de diferenciación en la forma de las representaciones que permita individualizar a las personas retratadas, o si sólo interesaba representar a aquellos grupos sociales que debían intervenir en los rituales de enterramiento. Persiguiendo este objetivo, nos proponemos evaluar la existencia de variaciones en la forma de los perfiles de las personas representadas, retomando algunos de los resultados alcanzados en trabajos precedentes. Dichos análisis, efectuados mediante las técnicas de morfometría geométrica, mostraron la existencia de diferencias dependientes del sexo como así también del estatus y/o rango social en los modos de representación de los perfiles de los personajes. Aquí nos interesa evaluar la interrelación de ambas variables y la importancia relativa del sexo (determinado mediante rasgos fisonómicos) en las variaciones morfológicas observadas en los retratos de hombres y mujeres.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo el análisis del estatus de Gibraltar, tanto en el ámbito interno como en el de la Unión Europea (UE), en plena era Brexit. Por lo tanto, se examinará cómo ha sido su evolución y las limitaciones que a este territorio le han ido sur-giendo a lo largo del camino, hasta convertirse en un territorio británico de ultramar (TBU). Asimismo, se tendrán en cuenta las particularidades de Gibraltar que le han comportado el disfrute de un estatus ad hoc en la UE. Dicho estatus ha significado que Gibraltar, a diferen-cia del resto de TBU, haya sido parte de la UE manteniendo un régimen específico. Ahora bien, una vez que el Reino Unido abandone la UE, Gibraltar, en contra de su voluntad, verá finalizado este estatus privilegiado. Finalmente, se analizará cómo la falta de soberanía de este territorio ha comportado limitaciones significativas a la hora de decidir sobre sus pro-pios intereses. En definitiva, el Brexit es uno de los principales retos a los que Gibraltar se ha tenido que enfrentar a lo largo de su historia moderna y sienta un peligroso precedente a la hora de afrontar su futuro en la escena internacional.

RESUMEN El presente trabajo considera que el sistema educativo no se ha adaptado a los cambios sociales, que exigen de una educación centrada en los procesos colaborativos. Para comprobar la hipótesis anterior, los autores aplican, en un contexto social y temporal determinado, la práctica discursiva y de producción de sentido, con el fin de que la percepción objetiva de la organización escolar dé paso a la duda fenomenológica y a la construcción de un nuevo discurso que responda a las demandas actuales. Los resultados obtenidos en el marco de este estudio evidencian que, atendiendo al diseño del espacio físico y virtual, en la organización escolar conviven dos discursos: el democrático, que pretende dar lugar al alumnado y el transmisivo, que impone o legitima un sistema social.

Llista de control d’ocells aquàtics de l’oasi de Wadi Djedi (Ziban, Algèria) Aquest treball documenta per primera vegada la comunitat d’avifauna de l’oasi de Wadi Djedi, a Ziban, regió situada al sud-est d’Algèria. Presentem els resultats obtinguts a partir dels recomptes mensuals d’ocells aquàtics fets des del setembre de 2013 fins al setembre de 2016. En aquesta zona humida es van registrar un total de 36 espècies d’ocells aquàtics corresponents a 11 famílies. La família Anatidea, amb 11 espècies, és la més representada. Entre el conjunt d’espècies, 18 són hivernants, nou migrants, vuit espècies criadores residents com ara l’ànec canyella Tadorna furruginea i el corriol camanegre Charadrius alexandrines i una espècie, la cigonya blanca, criadora migratòria. D’altra banda, dues espècies, el xarxet marbrenc Marmaronetta angustirostris i el morell xocolater Aythya nyroca, estan incloses a la categoria VU de la Llista Roja d’espècies amenaçades de la Unió Internacional per a la Conservació de la Natura (UICN).

El objetivo del artículo es analizar el rol de las jornadas de puertas abiertas como dispositivos institucionales para posicionar las escuelas en los mercados educativos locales. El artículo se basa en un análisis cualitativo a partir de observaciones en 25 jornadas de puertas abiertas en centros que ofrecen educación secundaria obligatoria y postobligatoria de Barcelona. Los resultados muestran, por una parte, que las acciones promocionales de las escuelas están mediadas por su posición en la jerarquía local y por unas características objetivamente desiguales en términos de titularidad, composición social y tipo de oferta. Por otro, muestran que, a partir de estas posiciones desiguales, las escuelas despliegan diferentes lógicas de acción orientadas a proyectar su estatus entre diferentes perfiles sociales de familias y estudiantes. En conjunto, el artículo presenta una tipología de escuelas que contribuye a entender la jerarquización del mercado educativo local en el campo de la educación postobligatoria.

The forests of Quercus petraea of the Basque Country and Navarre They are characterized and evaluate. Three are the locations chosen: south of Vizcaya, south of Guipuzcoa and north of Navarra. An inventory of 10 plots is undertaken for each location and different characteristics are analyzed: diversity, chorological affiliation, species status and application of the LANBIOEVA method. These oak forests are very scarce and have courtships where scarce plants also dominate. In these forests, dominate, in general, eurosiberian or Eurasian, Atlantic and transitional affiliations between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. The oak forests of Navarra are configured as the most diverse, followed by Guipuzcoa and Vizcaya. Biogeographic evaluation results in high values for the three formations but higher in Pikandi and Garralda and more modest in Garrastatxu. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La Teoría de Control de Recursos (Hawley, 1999) se ha presentado como una teoría alternativa del estudio de la conducta social en preadolescentes. Sin embargo, carece de instrumentos para evaluar sus propuestas en el idioma español. El presente estudio tuvo por objetivo validar el Inventario de Estrategias de Control de Recursos para la población de pre-adolescentes chilenos. Para alcanzar dicho objetivo se utilizaron metodologías cualitativas y cuantitativas. Se entrevistaron a 7 estudiantes y se encuestaron 180 estudiantes de 5to y 8vo básico de dos escuelas públicas de Santiago de Chile. Posterior a la traducción y adaptación, el inventario tuvo un excelente ajuste en el modelo factorial y la validación de criterio obtuvo resultados similares a los reportados en la literatura actual.

La presente investigación analizó las características de las empresas rurales y urbanas con la finalidad de determinar cuáles tienen un comportamiento diferenciado para establecer lineamientos que permitan focalizar los objetivos de política pública. La investigación consistió en la aplicación de una encuesta semiestructurada a 80 empresas del Estado de México en 2015; para el análisis de los datos se aplicaron técnicas de ANOVA de medias con prueba de Scheffé y de chi-cuadrada. Del conjunto de variables analizadas cinco resultaron tener un comportamiento diferenciado, las cuales fueron: socios, apalancamiento externo, tamaño, estatus y sector. Estos resultados ofrecen elementos para constituir un instrumento para el diseño de políticas públicas que mejoren el desempeño de las empresas rurales y urbanas.

The article carries out a reflection on male sexual work and its modalities in Bogotá. On the basis of a qualitative research exercise guided by the tenets of social constructionism, it seeks to show the diverse dynamics of the social phenomenon, according to the voices of the actors who engage in this economic activity. State interventions, as well as those of civil society organizations, are based on assumptions that have little to do with the reality of this population. Consequently, assistance is feminized and shows scarce knowledge of the incentives and risks involved in male prostitution.

Resource Control Theory (Hawley, 1999) has been presented as an alternative theory for the study of preadolescent social behavior. However, there are no instruments to assess its proposals for the Spanish language. The study's objective was to validate the Resource Control Resources Inventory for the Chilean preadolescent population. For this purpose, qualitative and quantitative methodologies were used. 5th to 8th graders from two public schools from Santiago de Chile were part of the sample. Seven students were interviewed, and 180 were surveyed. After the translation and adaptation, the inventory showed an excellent fit to the factorial model, and the criterion validity showed similar results to those reported in recent literature.

This paper aims to analyse the status of Gibraltar, both internally and in the European Union (EU) during the Brexit era. Therefore, it will examine its evolution and the limitations that this territory has had to face along the way, until it became a British overseas territory (BOT). Moreover, this paper will take into account the particularities of Gibraltar that have led to the enjoyment of an ad hoc status in the EU. This status has meant that Gibraltar, unlike the rest of BOT, has been part of the EU with a specific regime. However, once the United Kingdom leaves the EU, Gibraltar, against its will, will see this privileged status ended. Finally, this paper will analyse how the lack of sovereignty of this territory leads to specific limitations when deciding on its own interests. In short, Brexit is one of the main challenges that Gibraltar has had to face throughout its modern history and sets a dangerous precedent in order to face its future on the international scene.

There have been many studies that have attempted to address the complexity underlying manufactured ceramic assemblages after the conquest of Rome. So much so that today it is possible to easily find a great amount of typological lists, which mostly help to clearly establish linear temporal sequences. A reality that is most probably very different from the one that really occurred around the people responsible for carrying out their manufacturing. This paper aims, as far as possible, to overcome this lacuna by providing an alternative view about potter craftsmanship at the dawn of the Iron Age, as well as the impact it suffers as a result of the Roman conquest and acculturation. Through technology and the concept of Technical Operational Chain it is possible to glimpse a series of changes and technical resistances, which not only help to understand the intrinsic characteristics of the pottery work that occurred two thousand years ago, but also the idiosyncrasies of a society which is continually evolving.

The current political map of the world still shows many territories that did not free themselves during the decolonisation and thus continue to be connected to their metropoles, often thousands of kilometres away. This study discusses one such example, three overseas territories of the French Republic, namely French Guiana, Mayotte and New Caledonia. These were chosen considering their different geographic location and similar size of population. The study aims to analyse the intensity of relation of these territories to Paris and to compare their status in a comprehensive way. To fulfil this goal the study focuses on 25 relevant criteria divided into eight thematic areas (geographic-demographic, historical, constitutional, economic, political, ethno-religious, strategic, symbolic). Following detailed analysis of the data collected in each criterion, the study—using comparative method—attempts to classify the territories locating them on a scale according to the intensity of their connection with the metropole and the likelihood of becoming independent. El mapa político actual del mundo todavía muestra muchos territorios que no se liberaron durante la descolonización y, por lo tanto, continúan conectados a sus metrópolis, a menudo a miles de kilómetros de distancia. Este estudio analiza uno de esos ejemplos, tres territorios de ultramar de la República Francesa, a saber, la Guayana Francesa, Mayotte y Nueva Caledonia. Estos fueron elegidos teniendo en cuenta su diferente ubicación geográfica y el tamaño similar de la población. El estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la intensidad de la relación de estos territorios con París y comparar su estado de manera integral. Para cumplir este objetivo, el estudio se centra en 25 criterios relevantes divididos en 8 áreas temáticas (geográfico-demográficas, históricas, constitucionales, económicas, políticas, etno-religiosas, estratégicas, simbólicas). Tras un análisis detallado de los datos recopilados en cada criterio, el estudio, utilizando un método comparativo, intenta clasificar [End Page 3] los territorios que los ubican en una escala de acuerdo con la intensidad de su conexión con la metrópoli y la probabilidad de independizarse. La carte politique actuelle du monde montre encore de nombreux territoires qui n'ont pas été libérés lors de la décolonisation et restent donc connectés à leurs métropoles, souvent à des milliers de kilomètres. Cette étude analyse un tel exemple, trois territoires d'outre-mer de la République française, à savoir la Guyane française, Mayotte et la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Ceux-ci ont été choisis en tenant compte de leur situation géographique différente et de la taille similaire de la population. L'objectif de l'étude est d'analyser l'intensité de la relation de ces territoires avec Paris et de comparer globalement leur état. Pour atteindre cet objectif, l'étude se concentre sur 25 critères pertinents répartis en huit domaines thématiques (géographique-démographique, historique, constitutionnel, économique, politique, ethno-religieux, stratégique, symbolique). Après une analyse détaillée des données collectées dans chaque critère, l'étude, à l'aide d'une méthode comparative, tente de classer les territoires qui les localisent sur une échelle en fonction de l'intensité de leur lien avec la métropole et de la probabilité de devenir indépendant.

Continuing with the line of research initiated fifteen years ago by the members of the Archaeological Program - Field School "Valle de Pachacamac", the authors of this article discuss the results of the analysis of ceramics that correspond to imitations of Inca imperial styles that have been selected among several styles in use during the Late Horizon in the lower valley of Lurin. The sample comes from floors and contexts excavated in two palace residences of the settlement Pueblo Viejo-Pucará, 15 km from Pachacamac, founded by the mitmaqunas from Huarochiri on the initiative of the Inca imperial administration. The results of analysis of pastes and finishes by means of digital microscopy were compared with previous studies on the origin of the clay sources, which involved the analysis LA-TOF-ICP-MS and the study of the ware's variety. This approach makes it possible to critically review two widely disseminated research assumptions about the relationship between the Inca style and local traditions in the context of debate about the cultural, ethnic and political identities of the producer and user: 1) The hypothetical control exercised by the Inca State over ceramists, which would be expressed in the imposition of morpho-stylistic and technological Cuzco canons on local potters and 2) The supposed direct relationship between ethnic identity and the stylistic preferences of the local ceramic user, e.g. the Ychsma or Puerto Viejo style. The validity of none of these assumptions could be confirmed in the production of provincial Inca ceramics by local potters and the probable northern mitmaquna; likewise, their use reflects a complex process of constructing new identities in the cosmopolitan context of the empire, not without some aspects of the identity of origin having been rationalized, affirmed and materialized.

This article departs from the legal concept of person as a being that plays different roles in the legal scene. This idea comes from a metaphor that remembers the antique masks on the Latin and Greek theatres. In Argentinian legal system, the concept of person cannot be understood without the characteristics of dignity, autonomous and being inviolable. In this context, in nowadays paradigm, person is understood specially from different roles in order to protect in the best possible way concreting rights. That leads to the fact that in economic right some individuals get special attention and special regulations in order to be more equal to the strongest part in the relationship. According to this, this paper will focus on the consumers/users and adherent's roles. Legal protection is expressed through interpretative statements that change contractual law as it is usually conceived. It takes for granted that both parts in a contract are not equals but also treats differently those parts. The aim of the article is to show how the return of statuses has become a protective legal tool in the case of economic law in Argentinian legal system in consumer's relationships.

Despite strong consensus regarding the rationale behind North Korea's nuclear ambitions, namely to guarantee the regime's survival, this paper investigates (1) why North Korea continuously engaged in provocations such as testing its nuclear and missile technologies despite its increasingly mature nuclear arsenal and thus its relatively high resilience vis‐à‐vis external interventions; and (2) why the USA was so successful at (temporarily) making North Korea cease such undertakings. Status Theory, a novel theory developed herein, is applied to provide an explanation for this phenomenon. Status Theory aims at shedding light on this crisis through its distinction between prestige and respect. It is hypothesized that Pyongyang places great importance on enforcing respect from Washington, while increasing its prestige domestically through frequent tests of its military capabilities. The post‐June 12th détente, albeit presumably temporary, is considered conducive to Kim's status and is thus instrumental for the regime's ontological security, but it is not conducive to denuclearization.

Antecedentes: a nivel mundial México es el sexto país con las cárceles más saturadas del mundo con 257 mil presos. El Estado de México ocupa el segundo lugar nacional con una población penitenciaria total de 17, 694 humanos donde hay sobrepoblación de 70.48%. El delito es un problema social que ha sido abordado desde perspectivas de género, política, económica, antropológica, Derecho Penal, Psicología Clínica, Criminología y Psiquiatría. Una de las principales investigadoras que ha desarrollado numerosos estudios sobre violencia, criminalidad e instituciones carcelarias sobre todo desde la perspectiva de género es Azaola. Sin embargo, se percibe la ausencia de la mirada sociológica y de la investigación para la paz, esto motivó a realizar el presente estudio con teóricos como Kemper, Bericat, Foucault y Galtung. Metodología: la muestra se obtuvo del total de la población femenil sentenciada que está recluida en el Estado de México, a la cual se le aplicaron cuestionarios (fase cuantitativa) y se realizó observación participante (fase cualitativa). Resultados: las mujeres que conforman la muestra cuyo poder y estatus fue insuficiente gestaron emociones negativas porque se percibían violentadas, y en consecuencia las impulsó a cometer el delito violento hacia lo que las domina y controla, sin que su cognición y gestión emocional lograra contenerlas. El delito siempre se presenta acompañado con al menos un tipo de violencia. Conclusiones: el delito violento es una forma de resistencia ante la lucha de fuerzas, mediante el cual pretenden solucionar los conflictos latentes y/o manifiestos cuando la solución parece imposible a través de procesos cognitivos superiores y/o legales. La posibilidad o no de que los humanos resuelvan cierto tipo de conflicto, está en estrecha relación con el nivel de cognición social, gestión emocional y capital simbólico con que se cuenta.

The validity of any theory depends on its hypothesis resisting the passage of time and empirical evidence beyond the time they were raised. In this paper an effort is made to contrast the classical theories of labor insertion, trying to validate them again, but with more recent data, for the Spanish context and focusing attention on the young population of our country between 2006 and 2014 (the entire period that goes from the dawn of the economic crisis - before 2007 - until 2014, when the Spanish economy seemed to improve). With data from different sources (theoretical and statistical) we have tried to confirm or not the current approach of such classical theoretical approaches, concluding that, with nuances of the chosen temporal context, many of the hypotheses of these theories are still useful for the analysis, the interpretation and explanation of the labor insertion of young people in Spain.

In this article we propose a mediation model for the association between system justification and psychological well-being (i.e., the palliative function of ideology), based on system justification theory and compensatory control theory. Specifically, we argue that endorsing system-justifying beliefs leads to increased perceived personal control, which in turn predicts higher well-being. We used a convenience sample of students from two Peruvian universities. The results showed that system justification was related to general psychological well-being and personal control. In addition, indigenous students rated lower on system justification, general psychological well-being, self-esteem and personal control. Next, we found that the association between system justification and general psychological well-being was stronger among indigenous students, and this relationship was partially mediated by personal control. In addition, we showed that the mediation model is moderated by ethnicity, so that personal control is a mediator only among non-indigenous participants. We conclude that personal control is a mechanism involved in the palliative function of ideology among this group. Finally, we discuss possible explanations for the mechanisms involved in the palliative function of ideology among low-status individuals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The evaluative function of language is explored from the point of view of the expression of "status," or how the world is presented, and its persuasive potential in pre-electoral debates in the US and Spain. The types of statements used in two comparable corpora in Spanish and English are examined using Hunston's model (2000; 2008) for the evaluation of "status"--the degree of alignment of a proposition and the world--to discover similarities and differences between them. The results show that, in general, all politicians prefer to use statements that refer to the actual world--"world-reflecting statements" in Hunston's classification--rather than "world-creating propositions" in an attempt to be seen as objective candidates. However, each language group behaves differently: Americans seem to prefer a more rational stance and Spaniards favor opinions and value judgments in the samples analyzed. The correspondence found in the results between certain rhetorical strategies and success in the post-debate elections may be an indicator of using effective discursive strategies by winners as opposed to losers. In our corpus, election winners used more objective propositions in the debate than losers--the ethos of the former may, thus, be more reliable--which may, in turn, imply that this strategy contributes to persuading the audience. If this is so, adopting a negative stance of facts attributed to the opponent seems to contribute to persuasion more than a positive stance of ideal intentions and suggestions attributed to oneself, which means that the audience gives more credibility to negatively-depicted actions than to positively-charged intentions. This conclusion may be self-evident somehow, but this study provides empirical quantitative evidence to support it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses Lockwood’s concept of the work situation and its fate within class analysis. For a brief period, this concept served to make the experiences that people have by virtue of their positions in the division of labour a central concern in class analysis. Over time, however, attention to such issues has given way to an increasing interest in workers’ individual characteristics, and the measurement of social mobility according to class schemes. Over recent decades, the wider contexts of ‘class culture’ and ‘social space’ have become common frames of interpretation. While these developments have all broadened understandings of social class, their net effect has been to break up the once close relation between class analysis and the study of work. Key findings from recent labour market research suggest that, in the current context of increasing inequality and precariousness, the contribution of class analysis might be strengthened by a reincorporation of attention to work situations.
