'Writing is a process; the act of transforming thoughts into print requires a non-linear sequence of stages or creative acts' (James B. Gray, cited by Cassany, 1993). I would add that it is also the act of transforming experience. This article describes my own personal process of transformation in the experience and understanding of vulnerable employment - a slow, open, recursive and difficult process. The first, academic, section flows easily. Then things get harder. The auto-ethnography was the most challenging part. Firstly because it was a matter of personal reflection; then because of a having to strip naked, as it were. Finding a reasonably elegant and flexible way to link the two sections was demanding, and one of the objectives of the exercise was to reach a satisfactorily readable end result.

[cat] Aquest article vol refutar la hipòtesi que els partits decideixen sistemes electorals majoritaris i que decideixen també mantenir-los invariables, sempre que el sistema de partits s"aproximi al bipartidisme i cap dels dos grans partits pugui perdre la seva posició a favor d"un nou competidor. De manera inversa, els sistemes electorals proporcionals són la conseqüència del multipartidisme, en el qual cap partit té opcions de rebre la majoria dels vots. El cas valencià, però, confirma només parcialment la hipòtesi: els partits van aprovar el 1982 regles proporcionals perquè les eleccions dels parlaments autonòmics eren considerades secundàries, no només pel multipartidisme existent aleshores. En canvi, sí que es confirma que el canvi iniciat el 2006 amb la reforma estatutària manté, de moment, l"status quo per no alterar la formació de majories parlamentàries. Encara queda pendent, però, que es modifiqui la Llei Electoral, de la qual depèn quin mínim de vots per entrar a les Corts s"establirà. ; [eng] This article aims to refute the hypothesis that political parties decide majority electoral systems as well as ensure their constancy, whenever they approach a two-party-system and none of them loses its position in favour of a new one. On the contrary, proportional electoral systems are a consequence of multi-party-system, since none of them have been able to obtain the majority votes (Colomer, 2003; 56). Nevertheless, the Valencian case partially confirms this hypothesis: The parties approved proportional rules in 1982 because autonomic parliament elections were considered to be secondary due to the existing multi-party-system at that time. Otherwise, it has been proved that the change that started in 2006 with the statutory reform maintains currently the status quo in order not to alter the formation of parliament majorities. Significant modifications of the Electoral Law are still to be determined. Anticipated changes to the Electoral Law will establish the minimum of votes necessary to enter parliament. The article includes three parts: The first explains the origin of the electoral system by analyzing the political debate and the options defended by each party during the approval of the Statute in 1982. The draft bills of Unió de Centro Democrático (ucd), Partit Socialista del País Valencià-Partido Socialista Obrero Español (pspv-psoe), Partit Comunista del País Valencià-Partido Comunista de España (pcpv-pce) i Alianza Popular (ap) are analyzed. These draft bills depended on the assumption that the Valencian electoral map will follow the results of the 1977 and 1979 elections at the Chamber of Deputies. In addition, the process of the statutory bill is analyzed. This included electoral rules derived from the autonomic agreements in 1981, which were based on the assumption of a multi-party-system balancing the lack of proportion in the Chamber of Deputies.

Atès el seu nombre i la seva finalitat, i per a aportar un instrument més a la integració dels sectors exclosos, l'Estat espanyol va regular les empreses d'inserció a través de la Llei 44/2007, de 13 de desembre. La realització d'un TFG d'educació social ens vapermetre veure si són un instrument facilitador de la transició al treball i observar que, pel fet d'implicar la metodologia de l'animació sociolaboral, són un camp d'intervenciósocioeducativa per a l'educació social, si bé existeixen certes mancances pel que fa a la contextualització del paper i les funcions de l'educador/a social. ; On account of the number and purpose of the job integration agencies, and with a view to providing an additional impetus to the integration of disadvantaged sectors of society, the Spanish government passed Law 44/2007 of 13 December to regulate these firms. Our final-year degree project in Social Educationgave us an opportunity to see if they are an effective instrument in facilitating the transition to work and to observe that, when the methodology of socio-occupational animation is applied, they constitute a field of intervention for social education, despite the absence of certain aspects of contextualization of the roleand functions of the social educator. ; Debido a su número y a su finalidad, y para aportar un instrumento más a la integración de los sectores excluidos, el Estado españolreguló las empresas de inserción a través de la Ley 44/2007, de 13 de diciembre.

Anti-fascism makes working or fighting against fscism the top priority, and two basic types of anti-fascism emerged in Europe and North America from 1936 to 1945. The first was revolutionary; the second was conservative and even counterrevolutionary. From the Munich Agreement to the fall of France, and in the face of strong isolationist opposition, US counterrevolutionary anti-fascists—who are usually labeled "interventionists" in the historiography—articulated to an increasingly sympathetic public how fascist regimes jeopardized the United States' national security and way of life.

This research analyses the patterns of social interaction of a specific group of young people who play on-line games in a cybercafe in Barcelona. This group can be classified as a hybrid -on-line/ off-line- since their face-to-face interaction alternates with, and is frequently superimposed on, their virtual interaction. This means that the delocalization that accompanies other uses of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) occurs only in a limited way. What does take place is a reinterpretation of the forms of social interaction of whatever group of young people; at the same time, there is also an interpretation of new information technologies, adapting them to traditional forms of socialization. It is possible to observe how physical place and cyberplace are united and intermingled in various ways, as are face-to-face life and cyber-experience.

Com la seva generació, Valls és marcat per la Guerra Civil i la repressió franquista. Per això veié la humanitat des del realisme polític pessimista i agonista; i cercà fonamentar filosòficament un «nosaltres» que acabés amb la lluita de tots contra tots. Analitzem els seus atacs als «nosaltres» construïts sobre la classe, la cultura o nació, la societat civil o el «jo» individual, l'emotivisme i el moralisme, que són impotents i alimenten el natural «agonisme» humà. A canvi, Valls primer va creure trobar el «nosaltres» en l'Església, però se'n desmarcà radicalment i només confià en una versió hegeliana de l'Estat. En aquest article, fem un balanç de l'obra i la docència acadèmica del professor recentment desaparegut ; Like the rest of his generation, Valls was marked by the Spanish Civil War and the Francoist repression. Therefore he viewed humanity from realpolitik, pessimistic and agonistic; he searched to give a philosophical base to an "we" which would end the struggle of one against another. We analyze his attacks on "we" built on class, culture or nationality, civil society o the "I" individual, emotivism or moralism, which are impotent and feed the natural human "agonism". Instead, Valls first thought he'd found the "we" in the church, but then changed radically and only trusted the Hegelian version of the state. In this article we take a balance of the work and teaching of the recently departed professor
