Abstract
This paper establishes a dialogue between populism studies, typologies of reconstruction of the past, and argumentative dialectics. The paper analyzes what types of argumentative strategies are employed in the context of the discussions regarding Spanish memory politics and how those strategies can be associated with typologies of re-elaboration of the past (Caramani and Manucci 2019). Building from argumentative dialectics (Van Eemeren and Grootendorst 2004), the paper studies argumentation structures uttered after the endorsement of the 2007 Spanish Historical Memory Law and the proposal of the 2021 Draft Democratic Memory Law. Departing from the distinction between diverse strategies of re-elaboration of the past, namely, heroization and cancellation (Caramani and Manucci 2019), the paper questions if Spanish decision-makers' rhetorical strategies and political decisions in the field of memory politics disclose the adoption of particular types of populist behavior. The paper claims that the argumentative tactics used, in the domain of memory politics, by Spanish left-wing leaders reveal the adoption of a heroization strategy. In contrast, the rhetoric of Spanish right-wing leaders favors a strategy of cancellation. The paper also claims that, in the Spanish case, mainly from 2018 onwards, the adoption by Spanish left-wing leaders of a heroization strategy had two consequences. First, it did not reduce the cultural opportunity structure for right-wing populism. Second, it fostered a cultural opportunity structure for the affirmation of left-wing populism. The paper selected argumentative dialectics as a methodological framework (Van Eemeren and Grootendorst 2004). The paper discusses the scientific significance of analyzing memory politics through the lenses of populism studies.

Achieving tenure and promotion is an integral process to becoming a member of the academy's community.Tenure provides job security, ensures academic freedom, and protects faculty from institutional threats. Asnewcomers in the academy, women and minorities face challenges not previously encountered by theirwhite male peers. Research indicates that in addition to scholarly, pedagogical, political, and personalissues, the tenure process for women and minorities also includes issues of gender and race. This paperprovides women and minority faculty on the tenure track at research universities with practical strategiesintended to facilitate their tenure and promotion process. The strategies focus on the three areas used intenure and promotion decisions: research, teaching, and service.

This article critically analyzes the conceptual and operational relationship between informality and quality of employment in light of the problems of job security in Colombia. It demonstrates that the notion of informality is inadequate to define and inform policy making and addresses the main challenges that workers face in terms of work-related insecurities. As a response, a multidimensional definition and operationalization of precarious work is proposed. The results suggest that precariousness is a central notion to explore objective degrees of the quality of work that cut across formal/informal boundaries.

Este artigo busca refletir sobre práticas de sociabilidade e poder familiar em torno da terra e da política no médio São Francisco, dois elementos fundamentais para produzir e reproduzir uma elite local e o tipo hegemônico de propriedade familiar privada, de modo a dividi-la sem que se altere o status quo. Os membros das principais famílias proprietárias de terras da região mencionada formaram um coletivo de atores políticos, os quais são co-proprietários de terras e defendem seus interesses de modo a perpetuar suas posições de poder na área.

The book discusses how the two interrelated questions of biopolitics and ethics influence discursive and non-discursive practices in the fields of international relations and strategic studies. The book debates the following research question of how discussions on global regimes that rule human empowerment and human fragility in international and strategic arenas require the establishment of a complex relation between the contested concepts of biopolitics and ethics. The book focuses on six main areas which are (1) the politics of (in)security, (2) complex emergencies and contemporary terrorism, (3) health, risk and population management, (4) environment and climate change, (5) the politics of memory and trauma and (6) migration and refugee flows. The usefulness of the book derives from critically questioning how, international public policies in sensitive areas like terrorism, global health, global migration flows or humanitarian assistance are being built through global policy regimes and global discursive regimes.

No Brasil, a sub-representação de mulheres em cargos eletivos aponta para uma democracia não consolidada. Os 17% de representação feminina na Câmara Federal retratam as dificuldades do Estado brasileiro de elevar os patamares de presença feminina, mesmo considerando a política de cotas. Tais dificuldades se explicam na cultura patriarcal que perpassa as organizações sociais e instituições políticas, entre as quais os partidos e sindicatos. Ao comparar o Brasil com outras nações latino-americanas, observa-se que países como Argentina, Bolívia e Costa Rica alcançaram patamares semelhantes aos europeus. O recente impeachment que resultou na destituição de Dilma Rousseff da presidência do país evidencia que no Brasil, o conservadorismo, o patriarcado e a misoginia são perpetuados nas relações políticas, sustentados pela mídia, setores do judiciário e pelas bancadas fundamentalistas do Congresso. Esses fatos têm contribuído para acirrar mais ainda as desigualdades de gênero e classe. Este texto apresenta reflexões construídas a partir de estudos e pesquisas desenvolvidas nas duas últimas décadas (2010, 2015, 2019), enriquecidas por diálogos com diversos autores que denotam que a cultura patriarcal tem sido um dos fatores que mais incide sobre a violência política que interdita as mulheres de ter uma presença mais efetiva nos espaços de poder e decisão. Os resultados eleitorais apresentados denotam essa assertiva que se afirma na desvalorização das mulheres e na superioridade masculina.

This paper seeks to contribute to the analysis of the bank efficiency in the European Union in the aftermath of the recent crisis, using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and considering a sample of 485 banks from all current EU member-states between 2011 and 2017. The results obtained confirm the existence of bank inefficiency, and that this inefficiency is mostly due to inefficient managerial performance and bad combinations of the considered bank inputs and outputs. The results also provide enough evidence of appropriate scale production and dynamic technological changes during the considered interval. Moreover, the results obtained using panel estimates to explain the bank total factor productivity changes allow us to conclude that the choices of the banks in terms of the fixed assets, the profit before tax to the average assets, as well as the ratio of the off-balance sheet items to total assets contribute positively to the productivity changes. On the other side, the ratio of the impaired loans to equity, and the bank interest margins are not in line with the total factor productivity changes of the EU banking sector. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Os estudos sobre mulher e política no Brasil têm dado ênfase aos desdobramentos da Plataforma de Ação de Pequim, que, em 1995 definiu como uma das prioridades a garantia da mulher no exercício de poder. A plataforma aprovada no IV Conferência Mundial sobre as Mulheres tem sido um dos nortes para os movimentos feministas cobrarem dos estados nacionais políticas públicas que venham a equilibrar as relações de gênero. No Brasil a sub-representação das mulheres na política formal tem revelado que o patriarcado se reproduz de forma muito direta nas instâncias partidárias, e nas instituições legislativas, fato evidenciado no processo do impeachment da ex-presidenta Dilma Rousseff . Embora o Brasil seja um dos primeiros países a conceder o direito de voto às mulheres, continuam sub-representadas nos espaços de poder. As dificuldades que enfrentam para conquistar a cidadania plena são inúmeras. Os resultados eleitorais apresentados neste estudo denotam a distância para alcançar a paridade na política. Os desafios postos pelo movimento feminista esbarram no poder masculino institucionalizado e na sua pouca disposição de dividir e compartilhar o poder, para assim construir uma sociedade de iguais.

Resumo A partir da visão performativa de linguagem e de gênero, este artigo discute como algumas mulheres encenam e legitimam performances de pescadora e problematiza como tais performances atuam na manutenção de performativos de gênero (Butler, 1990; 1993) e de espaços e práticas generificados na pesca (Linsker e Tassara, 2005). Palavras-chave: Gé'nero. Territorialidades. Performance. Pescadora.Abstract Based on the performative view of language/gender, this article discusses how some women perform and legitimize fisherwoman performances and questions how these performances work in maintaining gender performatives (BUTLER, 1990; 1993) as well as gendered spaces and fishing practices (LINSKER; TASSARA, 2005).

A Contribution for the Identification of Indicators for the Evaluation of the Impact on Regional Innovation and Development of an EU Program for University Research in the North of Portugal ABSTRACT Co-financed Programs by the European Union have been with no doubt relevant to contribute to some endeavours of Research and Development in the North of Portugal. This paper intends to provide an insight view on the way some available and/ or feasible indicators can illustrate the results and impact, specifically on Regional Innovation and Development, of an EU Program for Northern Universities, which was devoted to a large spectrum of matters. After an introductory section summarizing some literature mining as relevant to be had in mind while evaluating such Program, the paper briefly describes the three main Universities at stake. That description is followed by a discussion of the relevance of each indicator for the undertaken purposes and, finally, the way the Program could hopefully contribute to Cohesion Policy of the EU, as well as Europe 2020 objectives is stressed.

O estudo tem como finalidade compreender a dimensão histórica e temática da Proposta Curatorial da 3ª Bienal da Bahia a partir dos conceitos de cultura e identidade. O objetivo é cruzar narrativas acerca das bienais da Bahia e sobre o Nordeste com os sistemas constitutivos da identidade individual e coletiva e do patrimônio cultural. Para tal considera autores como Durval Muniz (2011) pelo seu olhar sobre o Nordeste e Dennys Cuche (1999) pelas considerações sobre identidade cultural. Por fim, coloca a hipótese de que esta proposta tem uma forte componente autobiográfica pois recupera e atualiza a sua história, enquanto evento expositivo num território específico, e a partir deste convida o público ao mesmo exercício.
