The article demonstrates how Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) geographic headings for the Southern Levant mirror the political investment of Congress and the American public in Middle East politics over the last thirty years. The headings' evolution as well as Library of Congress rules governing their creation is charted in detail. These LCSH headings contrast markedly with those established in other national libraries (BnF, DNB) and independent value vocabularies (TGN, GeoNames), and global opinion regarding the legal status of the occupied territories. I sketch the historical context of their formation and offer suggestions as to how libraries can "decolonize" their metadata in service of Sanford Berman's "access and equity."
As Pavis (2016) argues, privacy has resurfaced in different forms and names in the current theatre. This work breaks down some of these forms of privacy and emotion in theatre studies, and then analyse their presence and articulation in the monologists of two works by Sasha Marianna Salzmann (n.1985): Muttersprache Mameloschn (2011) and Meteoriten (2016). The examination of Salzmann's modestes — who is one of the representatives of the so-called post-migrant theatre in Germany — shows that privacy in their works is not only about reversing the economy of the representativeness of minorities in a multicultural society. The emotion here abandons its traditional association with 'pathos' and 'inability to act' (Didi-Huberman 2016) and represents a form of political activism, building theatre as the smallest cell of a fairer society (Salzmann 2015). Faculty of Humanities and Education Sciences ; As Pavis (2016) argues, intimacy has resurfaced under different forms and names in current theater. This article makes a general introduction to posmigrant theatre in Germany, breaks down some of these forms of intimacy and emotion in theatre studies, and then analyzes its presence and articulation in the monologues of two works by german-language playwright Sasha Marianna Salzmann (n.1985): Muttersprache Mameloschn (2013) and Meteoriten (2016). The examination of the monologues of Salzmann -who is one of the representatives of the so-called German Postmigrant Theatre- exhibits that intimacy in their works is not only about reversing the representational economy of the minorities in a multicultural society. The use of emotion in her theatre abandons its traditional association with the "pathos" and the "Impossibility of Acting" (Didi-Huberman, 2013:26), and represents a form of political activism, which builds theatre as the smallest cell of a fairer society (Salzmann 2015). ; As Pavis (2016) argues, privacy has resurfaced in different forms and names in the current theatre.

In the field of the academic and political debates that have taken place in the last years, this article proposes to work in an issue that has been present in the field of discussions, from different approaches and perspectives: the union militancy of working women. Based on the review of the bibliography produced in Argentina in recent years, we focus on the intersection between militancy, gender and class in order to contribute to mapping some of the main discussions in the field of sociology. ; En el marco de los debates académicos y políticos actuales, en este artículo proponemos abordar un tema que ha estado presente en el campo de las discusiones, desde distintos enfoques y perspectivas: la militancia sindical de las mujeres trabajadoras. A partir de la revisión de la bibliografía producida en Argentina en los últimos años, nos centramos en el cruce entre militancia, género y clase con el propósito de contribuir a mapear algunas de las principales discusiones existentes en el campo de la sociología.

What does it mean to treat poetry, brain scans, and library borrowing records alike as "data"? Today, we analyze rich and complicated data produced in the humanities at scale with computational tools such as Natural Language Processing, network analysis, and machine learning. Likewise, data scientists rely on humanists for political and historical context that helps make their work more equitable and just. During 2018-19, the Center for Digital Humanities (CDH) dedicated its energies to bringing various disciplinary voices at Princeton together to examine how data is transforming our academic fields and our society. We called this initiative "Year of Data," and held over twenty events - lectures, symposia, conferences, workshops - with campus partners in the humanities, arts, data and computer science, social science, and library and archives.

At the end of 1979, Edward Palmer Thompson abandoned his history project to launch a campaign for nuclear disarmament and peace. For years, the Marxist historian was exclusively called upon to organise the European peace movement and to develop and disseminate his doctrines. This article presents some elements of its intellectual history that make it possible to understand the articulation between political practice and historical practice. At the same time, the concept of 'exterminism' is recovered as an organising element in its position in the debate on nuclear disarmament. Faculty of Humanities and Education Sciences ; A fines de 1979 Edward Palmer Thompson abandonó su proyecto historiográfico para iniciar una campaña por el desarme nuclear y por la paz.

Many reports refer on the increasing violence against women. What causes it? In this article, we aim to provide a new insight in a line also advanced by Amorós and Segato. We analyze how many men react in delusion against the supposed lost of autonomy and further natural advantages while women increase their own possibilities of self-realization. The concept of "exemplary bodies", that is, violently conditioned bodies, guides our analysis. These mutilated female bodies confirm a sort of encoded message that recent globalization crisis has potenciated. ; Numerosos informes dan cuenta del aumento de la violencia contra las mujeres. ¿Cuál es su causa? En este artículo nos proponemos examinar algunas variables que la potencian y contribuir a su mejor comprensión en una línea ya iniciada por otras estudiosas como Amorós y Segato. Examinamos cómo reaccionan ciertos varones ante la desilusión que ocasiona la pérdida de sus privilegios entendidos como naturales y la ficción de que sus goces y prebendas se ven menguados ante las mujeres que poco a poco abandonan el polo tradicional de la pasividad. La idea de "cuerpos ejemplificadores", es decir de cuerpos disciplinados violentamente, guía nuestro análisis en el sentido de que se trata del guión de un mensaje claro, público y a la vez cifrado, inscripto en el cuerpo de las mujeres y potenciado por la crisis actual de la globalización.

This article uses the concept of subjectivity to illuminate the study of social movements. Subjectivity can be seen as a mediator between social sructure and collective action. The article explores how the concept of subjectivity can be useful in the study of those social movements that question the established social order. ; El artículo presenta la categoría de subjetividad colectiva como herramienta para indagar en la constitución de los movimientos sociales. La concepción de subjetividad como un proceso de articulación de sentidos frente situaciones específicas nos conduce a plantear una serie de asuntos ligados a su lógica de conformación y su funcionamiento como una instancia de mediación entre la estructuración del orden social y la acción colectiva. El artículo explora, además, algunos campos que se vinculan a la subjetividad y que sirven para una investigación de los movimientos que disputan la conformación del oren social, tales como la voluntad colectiva, los proyectos, los imaginarios y las demandas sociales.

This work involves theoretical and epistemological reflections to analyse possible interactions between the notions of democracy and collective protest actions in 'the change of century' in Argentina. In most of the literature produced around the crisis in 2001, democracy is not featured in an interpretative and explanatory sketch linking it to the processes of mobilisation and social protest. These pages demonstrate how democracy and social protest are not topical and necessarily impressed. Theoretical and epistemological connections were established to think of recent democracy as an institution of a political community through conflict, and how collective protest actions and the mobilisation of various social sectors can be understood as dimensions of the same problem. A holistic approach to collective action, integrating the 'resource mobilisation' and 'new social movements' strands, was incorporated into the analysis. The final objective of the article is to provide a theoretical support to rethink the 2001 crisis in Argentina. FIL: Gutiérrez, Franco Emiliano. National University of the Comahue. Faculty of Humanities. Department of History; Argentina. ; En el presente trabajo se incursiona en reflexiones teórico-epistemológicas para analizar las posibles interacciones entre las nociones de democracia y las acciones colectivas de protesta en "el cambio de siglo" en Argentina. Se parte de considerar que en buena parte de la literatura producida en torno a la crisis del año 2001, la democracia no aparece tematizada en una trama interpretativa y explicativa que la vincule con los procesos de movilización y protesta social. En estas páginas se demuestra cómo la democracia y la protesta social no son tópicos que se presuponen necesariamente imbricados. Se establecieron conexiones teórico-epistemológicas para pensar la democracia reciente como instituyente de una comunidad política atravesada por el conflicto, y cómo las acciones colectivas de protesta y la movilización de diversos sectores sociales pueden ser ...
This work looks at the concept of the People's Economy (PE) as a native-category condemning the economic, political and symbolic practices of various social sectors that are excluded from traditional employment relationships. The theoretical objective of this analysis is twofold, on the one hand, to explore the differences that exist from previous categories (such as informal economy and marginal mass) and, on the other hand, to explain the difficulties it encounters in transforming itself into a new analytical category. From an empirical point of view, research shows, through different methods, the activities that characterise the EP, its links with the traditional labour market, and ways to structure its income and consumption.

with this book H. Kempf seeks to help understand that the ecological crisis and the social crisis are "two sides of the same disaster". Its main actor is "the predatory oligarchy" and its double harmful influence: (I) Direct predation of resources (beyond ecosystem restoration capacities), and (ii) for its cultural attractiveness. In any case, beyond responsibilities, the central theme is that we all face "choices in terms of material consumption", for which it is necessary to "articulate ecological concern with a thorough political analysis of current domination situations". Faculty of Humanities and Education Sciences ; Con este libro H. Kempf busca ayudar a comprender que la crisis ecológica y la crisis social son "dos caras de un mismo desastre". Su principal agente es "la oligarquía depredadora" y su doble influencia nociva: (i) Por la depredación directa de recursos (más allá de las capacidades de recuperación de los ecosistemas), y (ii) Por su atractivo cultural. En cualquier caso, más allá de las responsabilidades, el tema central es que todos enfrentamos "elecciones en términos de consumo material", para lo que es necesario "articular la preocupación ecológica con un profundo análisis político de las actuales situaciones de dominación".

This exhibition presents the project being carried out by the Faculty of Humanities and Education Sciences (National University of La Plata) in two secondary schools in the High District of San Lorenzo. It is framed and financed by the Programme of the Ministry of National Education: The University in the Barrios, the Barrios at the University, which consolidates actions "to carry out activities aimed at democratisation of access to higher university education, strengthening the virtuous link between our Public University and the Territory". In this way, efforts are made to create strategies to bridge the gap that establishes the social origin in terms of access to higher education, to build bridges to enable successful transit through the education system, and in particular through universities. The aim is that secondary students of the last year can be linked to the UNLP. It therefore proposes activities that encourage, inform, teach, experience and appreciate university life and its demands; the subject of the study is bodily practices and what has been called university literacy. In a second step, support will be developed on the basis of the possibilities offered by the space where such an initiative will take place. To sum up, this project seeks, on the one hand, to prepare young people for university requirements, promoting equal opportunities for a non-traumatic transition through the academic journey and, on the other, to invite them to accompany them in their studies, and to assist them in accessing scholarships to alleviate their economic difficulties, widening their life horizons, through the academic world, impacting on the democratisation of access to higher education and improving the quality of life of the population.

TROPICS decided to dedicate a Hors-Serial to a few authors to the programme for the aggregation of modern Letters. This volume is the digital version of the communications made during the aggregation day of 30 November 2013 (Saint-Denis de La Réunion, Faculty of Letters and Humanities, DIRE). The articles were brought together by Françoise Sylvos. National audience from 1789 to 1830, political events led men to question their report on history. It is no longer an abstract object but a reality that lives at the same time as it is built. These upheavals lead, among other things, to a challenge to the body. Changes in laws, biology and philosophy offer the body a new representation in literature. Not that the body is freely exposed. "The body does not say itself, does not show itself, either in fact or in the texts. At best, if it is not silent, it is said by the inconclusive means of metaphor." But then why talk about the body? The latter becomes an ideological challenge and expresses man's relationship with his history and the society around him. In the 18th century, the body was considered to be subject to the will of its possessor. Historical upheavals change this dominant position of man on his own body. From now on, he feels closed and civilisation itself becomes a prison. François Kerlouégan noted that the 'corpsbrimés, governed by social and historical law, called for the release of the body, i.e. an adaptation of the law to the desire of society to nature'. There is a permanent tension in Le Rouge and the Noir between the behaviour that society would like Julien Sorel to adopt and the more disturbing behaviour he cannot conceal. Finally, by proclaiming the freedom of his body, Julien Sorel took over (all relative) power over her destiny. The body 'embodies the desire to subvert the codes (political and aesthetic) that animate the romantic artist'. It is through the link between history and body — both physical and textual — that I propose that you study Le Rouge and the Noir. ; TrOPICS a décidé de ...
