El presente artículo procura aportar herramientas conceptuales y líneas de análisis para profundizar la discusión en torno a algunas de las alternativas que están surgiendo para contribuir con el mejoramiento de las condiciones de vida de poblaciones rurales. El trabajo aporta, por un lado, un breve recorrido conceptual para incorporar elementos analíticos básicos, que iluminen la búsqueda hacia nuevas perspectivas de trabajo. Se presentan conceptos específicos referidos a las identidades territoriales, áreas de coexistencia geográfica, procesos de diferenciación productiva, etc. Por otro lado, el artículo plantea la temática de los productos y servicios con identidad, sus posibilidades y riesgos, como oportunidad para mejorar las condiciones de vida de poblaciones social y económicamente deprimidas. Finalmente, se delinean, de manera muy precaria, aspectos referidos a las innovaciones necesarias, a nivel de políticas públicas, inversiones y fortalecimiento de actores, instituciones y redes, que favorezcan y hagan prosperar las estrategias de desarrollo territorial mencionadas. ; This article seeks to provide conceptual tools and analysis lines in order to discuss in depth some of the new alternatives for improving life conditions in rural populations. This work provides a brief conceptual framework which presents basic analytic elements that contribute in the search for new work perspectives. It also presents specific concepts related to territorial identities, areas of geographical coexistence, productive differentiation processes, and so on. On the other hand, the article discusses products and services endowed with an identity, as well as their possibilities and risks, as an opportunity to improve life conditions in socially and economically depressed populations. Finally, a number of aspects concerning changes that are considered necessary in public policies, investment, and strengthening of actors, institutions and networks, are here outlined; all of them favor and drive the territorial development strategies already mentioned. The level of progress of this research permits only preliminary – not final– results or conclusions, provided that, at both theoretical and empirical levels, this work will be continually reviewed until it is finished. ; Le présent article, afin de contribuer à l'amélioration des conditions de vie de populations rurales, tâche de fournir des outils conceptuels et des lignes d'analyse pour approfondir dans la discussion sur certaines des alternatives qui surgissent.

"Conservative Political Communication examines the evolution of appeals, media, and tactics in right-wing media and political communication, tracking trends and shifts from the early days of contemporary conservatism in the 1950s to the Trump administration. The chapters in this edited volume feature the work of senior and junior scholars from the fields of communication, journalism, and political science employing content analytic, experimental, survey, historical, and rhetorical research methodologies. Analyses of the rise of the 24-hour news cycle, the range of partisan news sources, and the role of social media algorithms in political campaigns yield insights for our media and information ecosystems. A key theme across these chapters is how right-wing channels and communications help and hinder partisan fragmentation, a condition whereby novice elected officials create personal conservative brands, appeal to the base through partisan media, and complicate senior leadership's ability to engage in bargaining, compromise, and deal-making. This volume interrogates conservative media and messaging to track where these processes came from, how they functioned in the 2016 United States presidential campaign, and where they may be going in the future. This book will interest scholars and upper-level students of political communication, media and politics, and political science, as well as readers invested in today's political media landscape in the United States"--

Cet article propose d'aborder les images des grands hommes sous une perspective inédite. Par contraste avec les analyses déjà nombreuses consacrées à l'iconographie officielle, il s'agit de décaler le regard pour examiner comment la figure des hommes d'État fait l'objet d'appropriations qui échappent au registre de l'officiel tout en prenant appui sur lui. Ce changement de perspective permet de saisir les grands hommes non plus " par le haut ", tels qu'ils se donnent à voir dans leur grandeur officielle, mais " par le bas ", du point de vue des acteurs subordonnés. Ces usages populaires des icônes politiques impliquent un jeu souvent ambigu avec le monde officiel. Selon les cas, il pourra s'agir de capter, de cannibaliser, de moquer, d'accommoder ou d'apprivoiser le pouvoir à travers ses effigies. Les usages populaires de la figure du grand homme constituent en définitive des actes d'invention qui ne laissent pas indemne le modèle officiel.

This contribution explains how socially responsible investing (SRI) has evolved in the last few decades and sheds light on its latest developments. It describes different forms of SRI in the financial markets; and deliberates on the rationale for the utilization of positive and negative screenings of listed businesses and public organizations. A comprehensive literature review suggests that the providers of financial capital are increasingly allocating funds toward positive impact and sustainable investments. Therefore, this descriptive paper provides a factual summary of the proliferation of SRI products in financial markets. Afterwards it presents the opportunities and challenges facing the stakeholders of SRI. This research presents a historic overview on the growth of SRI products in the financial services industry. It clarifies that the market for responsible investing has recently led to an increase in a number of stakeholders, including; contractors, non governmental organizations (NGOs) and research firms who are involved in the scrutinization of the businesses' environmental, social and governance (ESG) behaviors. This discursive contribution raises awareness on the screenings of positive impact and sustainable investments. The researcher contends that today's socially responsible investors are increasingly analyzing the businesses' non-financial performance, including their ESG credentials. In conclusion this paper puts forward future research avenues in this promising field of study. ; peer-reviewed

This article analyses the background, origins and elaboration of the Extreme North development plan 1977–1990. This plan was another attempt by the Soviet state to elaborate a programme for the development of the Far North territories, involving local, indigenous peoples in economic activities. Such an attempt had first been made under Nikita Khrushchev, but it was eventually abandoned due to the reform of industrial and construction management in 1957. In the late 1970s, with the changed foreign trade balance in the country, the need to develop the northern territories, integrating the indigenous population into the existing economic processes, arose. The state wanted to ensure that the traditional rural economy of the indigenous peoples of the North could reach the level of an industrial society. To this end, a new plan was drawn up. However, no indigenous people participated in the drafting process. The plan embodied the main characteristics of Soviet management: agency, planning and centralism. It envisaged an extensive modernization of all aspects of society in these areas. Its implementation was prevented by the reforms of 1980s and the following break-up of the USSR

The article analyzes the impact of nominations in the media discourse on the coronavirus on the public consciousness of Europe and Asia. The authors consider the historical, sociological, and psycholinguistic aspects of the use of names in texts about the coronavirus, identify the features of the impact of such texts on the reader and determine the target orientation of such texts. Hypothesis: names in news reports about coronavirus in modern news discourse in conditions of quarantine and self-isolation act as triggers that unite different strata of society, creating a hologram of a single mental space, actualizing archetypal images of the confrontation between Good and Evil. Particular attention is paid to the connection between ethno-confessional myths and ideas about the coronavirus in the public consciousness, their involvement in information wars. The methodology for the analysis of names is standard; it includes sociolinguistic, structural, and semantic analysis, evaluative, motivational, target analysis, etc. The study helps to understand linguistic universals in the transmission of psycho-emotional moods in a stressful situation in a pandemic. The article will be of interest to specialists in the field of linguistics, sociology, political science, psychology

The current status of protection of the natural water and atmospheric resources is assessed as negative, without clear improving tendencies but with a stable pro-cyclical character. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the management of production and consumption waste. Even in the stagnation periods, the volume of generated and accumulated waste continues growing. In the year 2018, the first indicator doubled compared to the year 2005. Thus, the urgency of the research is augmented by the unfavourable ecological situation in Russia. The objective of the paper is to develop methodological approaches to the analysis and forecasting of the situation. The objective determined the following targets: to study the current state of the environment regarding the handling of waste, to develop premises to forecast generation and accumulation of waste, to assess the ecological load for the nearest future. Despite the active efforts to reform the waste management system undertaken since 2014, the Russian legislation is imperfect and contradictory in this aspect, not capable of stimulating the processing of waste. The principal contradictions of the ongoing reforms are considered in this paper

The present paper considers evaluative aspect of a German linguistic review as a certain type of expert text. Expert evaluation is regarded in the context of its role in collective intersubjective process of verification and critical review of knowledge aimed at implementing it in the scientific scope of the subject. Special focus is put on regulatory character of expert evaluation. When exercising evaluation, reviewers as representatives of the scientific expert community united by its aims and tasks, rely on collectively elaborated and shared criteria of scientific rationality. The article also identifies the key role of institutional, sociocultural and internal verbal context when revealing means of expression of evaluative meanings and axiological contrast of evaluation in the text structure. Major ways of implicit display of evaluation are categorized in the concept of cognitive strategy; typical strategies are illustrated by examples of their context realization. Methods involved in the study (structural and propositional text segmentation, component analysis of lexical units, contextual and linguo-epistemic analysis) being the elements of complex methodology allowed to produce general evaluative profile of scientific reviews in German linguistics
