Over the last three decades, nightlife has become one of the most important time–spaces for the reproduction of human relationships. In this paper, we examine Club Carib, a particular nightlife space in Lisbon’s Bairro Alto neighbourhood. Our focus is on the flirting strategies that occur during dance sessions. We examine the ways in which these seduction strategies operate in relation to particular constructions of race, class, cultural capital and gender. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which young adult straight males use their bodies to negotiate the dance space. We describe how the dance space is an environment in which the (hetero)normative and patriarchal character of Lisbon’s nightlife is often reinscribed, but also at times contested.

This article is a first-person account of gender violence that utilizes auto-ethnography as a methodological and narrative tool. In the article, the author analyzes a relationship with a violent man in which two differences, class and gender, functioned as hierarchies. By analyzing certain moments of this relationship from the perspective of gender theory, the author intends to provide insight into the complex and often contradictory features of the gender violence suffered by women in different regions of the world and in a range of social and cultural contexts. This personal story and the connections with the stories of other women in her family - themselves victims of gender violence and the same social hierarchies - allow the author to analyze the mandates for women in a patriarchal society. Finally, the article narrates the strategies of empowerment that she was able to construct in certain contexts, distinguishing individual and collective empowerment as a key analytical but also political concept in the struggle against gender violence.

For the purpose of testing the group of landscape indicators an analysis was performed of the fundamental characteristics of the horizontal landscape structure of Vransko Lake Nature Park. The objectives of this study were (i) to select and analyse the group of landscape indicators at the level of elements and classes as fundamental landscape units that are relevant and useful in improving landscape planning; (ii) to analyse the horizontal landscape structure of Vransko Lake Nature Park; and (iii) to analyse changes to the features of the horizontal structure of determined classes due to anthropogenic effects and the identification of dominant/stable and threatened/labile types of classes. The fundamental hypothesis of the paper is that through an analysis of landscape indicators, it is possible to precisely determine the spatial relations between the elements and classes within the landscape, and that it is possible to determine fragmentation and the existence of specific dominant/stable and threatened/labile landscape types. Methods applied in this study were landscape analysis methods based on landscape indicators, GIS and statistical methods. Two extension (Patch Analyst and V-Late) within ArcGIS were used and software Fragstat. The landscape of Vransko Lake Nature Park includes 30 habitat classes. A habitat map was drafted in the scale 1:5000, according to the rules of the National Habitat Classification of the Republic of Croatia. For the purpose of analysing the horizontal structures of elements within Vransko Lake Nature Park, 12 landscape indicators were used. The analysis was conducted at the level of 30 classes representing habitats. Through the analysis of six selected indicators (CA, MPS, Proportion, TE, MNNdist i Proximity) of landscape structure, dominant and threatened classes within the landscapes of Vransko Lake Nature Park were identified. As threatened landscape classes traditional vineyard and thermophilic flood vegetation were recognized. Dominant landscape classes are mixed, less frequently, pure evergreen forests and thorny low vegetation (dračici). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work contains a discussion of the exact dating and reasons for construction of the fort on Vela Palagruža in Late Antiquity. Archaeological evidence of the use of this building is contextualized within the historical circumstances of navigation on the Adriatic Sea in the 5th century AD. Comparisons to similar architectural examples are used to discuss the nature of the fortification's use as lodgings by crew with the primary task of maintaining light signalization during the sailing season on the Adriatic. The historical circumstances that probably led to the abandonment of the fortification as a part of a larger but, at the end of the 5th century, deteriorating maritime system are presented. The exact location of the first Church of St. Michael, adapted inside the remains of the Roman fortification, probably in the 9th century, is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Identity federations enable users, service providers, and identity providers from different organizations to exchange authentication and authorization information in a secure way. In this paper, we present a novel identity federation architecture for cloud services based on the integration of a cloud identity management service with an authentication, authorization, and accounting infrastructure. Specifically, we analyse how this type of authentication, authorization, and accounting-based federation can be smoothly integrated into OpenStack, the leading open source cloud software solution, using the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Application Bridging for Federated Access Beyond web specification for authentication and authorization. We provide details of the implementation undertaken in GÉANT's CLASSe project and show its validation in a real testbed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to examine why ethnic allegiances have persisted as the most dominant platform used by the elites to organise collective action in Kenya. The author formulates a broad theoretical framework centred around the organisational role of ethnicity in negotiating social orders. Empirically, it is shown that ethnic allegiances in Kenya are deeply rooted in group inequalities and feelings of historical injustice. Moreover, the historical structure of the economy has skewed the distribution of economic rents toward group-specific activities and resources. Therefore, the early institutions of the country were designed in such a way that the stability of political order would depend on the elites’ ability to use ethnicity as a bargaining chip. Ethnicity continues to be politically salient partly because economic rents are not individualised enough to sustainably support trans-ethnic forms of organisation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este trabalho trata da reforma eleitoral de introdução do voto direto no Brasil, conhecida como Lei Saraiva (1881), quase no final do Império. Focaliza duas questões que se entrecruzam: a de como os liberais brasileiros se posicionaram acerca do acesso da classe trabalhadora, dos analfabetos e das mulheres ao voto; e aquela do uso que os parlamentares liberais brasileiros fizeram das ideias do liberal inglês John Stuart Mill no encaminhamento da mencionada reforma. Na perspectiva teórico-metodológica da História Social ou da Sociologia Histórica e tendo como base os debates travados na Câmara dos Deputados, como registrados nos Anais (1879-1880), e textos filosófico-políticos do referido liberal inglês, este estudo mostra como os parlamentares brasileiros: a) radicalizaram o critério econômico de Stuart Mill, endurecendo os mecanismos de comprovação da renda mínima (censo) para votar; b) incorporaram na nova Lei o critério milliano de exclusão dos analfabetos do direito de voto, num país com mais de 80% de analfabetos, carente de escolas e sem obrigatoriedade escolar ainda; e c) ignoraram a proposta do autor inglês de extensão do direito de voto às mulheres. Mostra ainda que o resultado da reforma foi um enorme retrocesso em termos de participação política popular, sem o prometido avanço na escolarização.

O foco destaanálise será o percurso e a construção identitária de diversos protagonistas desta cultura, emtorno de três dimensões interligadas: a etnicidade, a classe e o género. Para além de umadiscussão teórica inicial sobre o modo como estas dimensões têm sido abordadas, pretendeseapresentar igualmente dados empíricos provenientes de uma pesquisa etnográfica realizadaem Portugal, mais especificamente na área metropolitana da cidade de Lisboa. As conclusõesa que se chegaram, ainda que específicas e contextuais, apresentam afinidades com outrassobre fenómenos idênticos, revelando-se importantes para a compreensão destas práticas erespectivas interpretações em diferentes contextos nacionais.

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar os principais argumentos utilizados no debate sobre as causas das desigualdades entre negros e brancos no Brasil enfatizando as análises de classe e as análises de raça e as possíveis soluções para essa desigualdade, políticas universalistas e políticas específicas. Procura-se demonstrar que o antagonismo entre essas análises pode ser superado em favor de uma análise integradora a qual resulta na adoção de políticas públicas que garantam democraticamente igualdade de acesso ao ensino superior considerando as especificidades dos grupos excluídos sem descuidar das necessidades da população em geral.

This research considers the dropout as a process, from a personal course and having its own dynamics finding its origins within the classroom by misbehavior. The purpose of our study is to understand the dynamics of local drop-out by analyzing the activity of students during physical education class in middle schools belonging to the compensatory policy. The theoretical and methodological framework used is the “course of action” (Theureau, 2006). The local dropout of school work is analyzed in terms of student engagement in the lesson according to their concerns bifurcations. Eleven students from 6th and 5th in middle schools were studied in a gymnastics workshops. The collection of data is made from video recordings and interviews of self-confrontation. Data processing aimed to analyze the activity of the students and in particular their concerns, perceptions and knowledge used in action. The results show that the activity of the students is organized by two concerns “work - play” including its own dynamic alternating phases of drop-out and of hang up the school work.

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1984-9222.2011v3n5p58O artigo discute as experiências de trabalhadoras domésticas de Recife e Salvador em torno de 1900. Entendo tais experiências a partir da relação campo/cidade e do processo de construção de redes sociais em contextos espaciais novos. Muitas dessas trabalhadoras eram procedentes de outras regiões e compunham o diversificado e complexo mundo do trabalho com outras categorias profissionais. Por fim, apresento conflitos e solidariedades possíveis em becos, ruas estreitas, e o significado de tais situações em um processo inacabado de formação de classe.

Tendo como base empírica o processo de construção de uma “memória do mar” em Ílhavo, com especial incidência sobre a pesca do bacalhau à linha, pretende-se discutir a forma como as noções de identidade e de pertença são construídas por recurso à fixação de imagens selectivas de um passado que é activado de acordo com as agendas de poder de determinados grupos. No caso em análise, a identidade local é articulada por uma narrativa de evocação marítima que reproduz a identidade de classe detida por aqueles que ocupavam posições hierárquicas dominantes na prática da actividade agora representada. Tornando o “seu” passado ostensivamente visível, estes grupos conferem invisibilidade às profundas assimetrias presentes na prática da actividade da qual se reclamam os protagonistas.Taking as an empirical basis the process of construction of a “memory of the sea” in Ílhavo, with particular emphasis on cod fishing, this paper discusses how notions of identity and belonging are constructed by establishing selective images of a past which is activated according to the power agendas of certain groups. In the example analyzed here, the local identity is articulated by a narrative of maritime evocation that reproduces the class identity held by people occupying dominant positions in the hierarchy of the activity now represented. By making “their” past ostensibly visible, these people have made invisible the extreme asymmetries involved in the practice of this activity, thus claiming themselves its main protagonists.

Este artigo analisa os investimentos educativos diferenciados, realizados por três gerações de famílias inseridas em um grupo socialmente privilegiado. A análise centra-se na discussão de como, de uma geração a outra, a passagem pelo sistema de ensino esteve na base dos processos de diferenciação social entre os indivíduos. O material empírico trabalhado foi obtido no quadro de uma pesquisa de doutorado, na qual identifiquei a escola de nível secundário e as trajetórias sócio-profissionais de oitenta e duas mulheres, ex-alunas de três escolas católicas de São Paulo. Discute se modificações estruturais, de longa duração, tais como a expansão do acesso ao ensino, o investimento crescente das meninas nos caminhos da escolarização e a conotação sexual dos percursos escolares. Por meio da comparação sistemática da passagem pelo sistema de ensino e de ingresso no ensino superior é possível verificar a maneira pela qual a ordem social foi transposta para o universo escolar definindo os horizontes possíveis para cada um.This paper analyses the different educational investments made by three generations of families included in a socially privileged group. It discusses how, from one generation to the other, passing through the education system was the basis of the social differentiation processes among individuals. The empirical material studied was obtained as part of a doctoral research, which identified the secondary school level and socio-professional trajectories of eighty-two women who had studied in three Catholic schools. It focuses on the structural long-duration changes, such as the expanding access to education, the increased investment in girls' schooling paths and the survival of the sexual connotation of school courses. By systematically comparing the passage through the education system and the enrollment in higher education, it shows how the social order was transferred into the school environment and how it defines the possible horizons for each person.

Conflitos de classe, de gênero e raciais tendem a ser concebidos, interpretados e enfrentados isoladamente. A autora analisa desenvolvimentos no campo dos estudos feministas e da sociologia do trabalho que apontam para a interdependência dessas categorias sociais, tanto no plano teórico como na prática de movimentos sociais de mulheres e trabalhadoras.Class, gender and racial conflicts are often thought of, interpreted and handled as isolated. The author presents developments in feminist and labor studies which suggest the interdependency of these social categories, theoretically and in the political practices of women's and worker's social movements.

O artigo tenta distinguir os problemas que dizem respeito à noção de indivíduo. Partindo da ideia de que não se podem dissociar, num plano lógico, indivíduo e predicado, o texto sublinha que a sociologia tem a ver com uma construção, o "indivíduo epistêmico" (P. Bourdieu), e recusa o argumento antiobjetivista que consiste em erigir indivíduos inclassificáveis que seriam portadores de paradoxos. Além disso, opor o indivíduo moderno aos determinismos de outrora é um impasse, no mínimo porque ele repousa sobre a ideia indefensável de que o social seria uma opção revogável da qual poderíamos nos liberar. Enfim, a filosofia dos teóricos pós-modernos do individualismo e das redes é uma forma de escatologia, contestável ao mesmo tempo por seus pressupostos nocionais e pelas suas implicações sociológicas. Na medida em que os benefícios teóricos e empíricos da noção de indivíduo são pequenos, ela merece ser colocada de lado até nova ordem.The article is an effort to distinguish the problems linked to the notion of individual. Arguing that we cannot sever, on the logical level, individual from predicate, the author underlines that sociology has to do with a construct, the "epistemic individual" (P. Bourdieu) and rejects the anti-objectivist point asserting that individuals are necessary to clarify some paradoxes. Moreover, to oppose modern individuals to formerly determinisms is a deadlock, at least because it implies the idea that social would be a reversible option from which we could get free. Finally, the philosophy of postmodern theoricians about individualism and networks is a kind of eschatologism whose conceptual presuppositions as well as sociological implications are questionable. Since the benefits of the notion of individual, theoretically or empirically, are weak, that notion itself deserves to be put aside, until further notice.

Este artigo procura analisar a produção literária pornográfica desde a segunda metade do século XIX até o início do XX no Brasil. Também conhecidos como "leitura para homens" ou "romances para homens", esses enredos alcançaram uma repercussão singular naquele período. Se, em um primeiro momento, essas narrativas, repletas de fantasias e desejos, tratavam de questões sociais e políticas, com a chegada do novo século, de modo evidente, elas passaram a estabelecer um estreito diálogo com as teorias médicas e científicas da época.This article analyses the pornographic literature from the second half of the nineteenth century until the beginning of the twentieth century in Brazil. Also known as "reading for men" or "novels for men", these plots reached a singular repercussion at the time. If at first these stories, full of fantasies and desires, talked about both social and political issues, with the coming of the new century they clearly started to establish a close dialogue with current medical and scientific theories.

O trabalho propõe uma análise dos novos livros didáticos de sociologia disponibilizados pelo Ministério da Educação a partir do Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) em 2014, com enfoque específico na forma como a noção de classe é tratada em cada um dos materiais em questão. Partindo da noção de classe defendida pelo historiador britânico E.P.Thompson, observam-se avanços na qualidade teórico-conceitual dos livros disponibilizados pelo programa, mas ainda um distanciamento da proposta thompsoniana, que enxerga classe não como um conceito estanque, mas como relação que se dá como processo ativo e histórico.

O artigo analisa o percurso dos estudos sobre as convergências entre gênero, classe e raça no debate teórico das últimas décadas, com destaque para o feminismo. Procura apresentar um campo hoje vasto de pesquisas que não é homogêneo, mas tem em comum o entendimento de que as opressões são múltiplas e complexas e não é possível compreender as desigualdades quando se analisa uma variável isoladamente. O peso relativo de cada uma das variáveis, seu sentido e a compreensão de como operam conjuntamente varia nas três frentes discutidas no artigo, que são as teorias feministas marxistas ou socialistas, o feminismo negro e os estudos das interseccionalidades.

Em todo o mundo, a América Latina é a região que apresenta a mais desequilibrada distribuição de recursos. O artigo define um conjunto comum de elementos que caracterizam as estruturas sociais do continente, sugere algumas linhas de análise e teorização e defende a integração dos estudos regionais nas discussões mais amplas a respeito da estratificação. Na primeira parte, examina-se a situação do continente como um todo, com uma breve discussão sobre a relação entre pobreza e desigualdade, e sobre o problema da disponibilidade de dados. Em seguida, analisa-se classe, gênero e raça. A conclusão identifica três fatores críticos que explicam a desigualdade latino-americana: sua posição no interior do sistema econômico global, o colonialismo interno que mantém as categorias raciais e o subdesenvolvimento das estruturas estataisLatin America has the most unbalanced distribution of resources of all regions in the world. This review defines a set of common elements characterizing social structures on this continent, suggests some approaches for analysis and theorizing, and supports the integration of regional studies into broader discussions of stratification. An overview of the situation on the continent as a whole, including a short discussion of the relationship between poverty and inequality, allows to address some concerns with data availability. We then devote a section each to class, gender, and race, and conclude by identifying three critical factors that explain Latin American inequality: its position within a global economic system, internal colonialism with maintenance of racial categories, and the underdevelopment of state structures.

This article examines work-family reconciliation processes in order to understand if, over the course of marital life, women become socially closer or further away from their partner. Drawing on work-life interviews with highly qualified women in Portugal and Britain, we compare these processes in two societies with different historical and social backgrounds. Findings reveal three main configurations of social (in)equality which emerge during married life: growing inequality in favour of the man, in favour of the woman or equality between spouses. With due attention to the importance of national specific factors, we present three main conclusions. First, (in) equality is built up over the course of marital life and female strategies for reconciling family and work are at the core of this process. Second, the national specificities can mould the effects of cross-national gender mechanisms. Third, the intersection between cross-cultural phenomena such as conservative attitudes towards domestic work and national specificities (such as the availability of part-time options) is a rather complex process which needs further research.

A primeira parte do texto trata das várias noções de "diferença" que surgiram na recente controvérsia sobre a categoria "negro" (black) como sinal comum para a experiência de grupos africanos-caribenhos e do sul da Ásia na Grã-Bretanha do pós-guerra. O objetivo é assinalar como "negro" operou como sinal contingente em diferentes circunstâncias políticas. A segunda seção considera as maneiras como questões de "diferença" foram enquadradas na teoria e na prática feministas durante as décadas de 1970 e 1980, tendo como foco principal o debate britânico. A autora conclui com um breve exame de algumas categorias conceituais usadas na teorização da "diferença", sugerindo um novo quadro para análise.The first part of text adresses the various notions of "difference" that have emerged in the recent controversy about the category "black" as a common sign for the experience of African-Caribbean and South Asian groups in post-war Britain. The aim is to signal how "black" has operated as a contingent sign under different political circumstances. The second section is concerned with the ways in which issues of "difference" were framed within feminist theory and practice during the 1970s and 1980s. The primary focus is on the British debate. The author concludes with a brief examination of some conceptual categories used in the theorisation of "difference", and suggests a new analytical framework.

The definitions, uses and theoretical, methodological and political scope of intersectionality in feminist theory constitute the focus of this article. This text establishes a genealogy of intersectional approaches, including the contributions of feminist thought produced in various historical and geopolitical contexts. It identifies some of the main lines of the debate on intersectionality in order to show their scope and limits, linked largely to their broad dissemination. It also shows how the intersections of race and gender, and class and gender, are experienced, demonstrating the consubstantiality of these relationships for the social groups involved, and examining both my own research and that of other authors. The text concludes with the political importance of the concept, emphasizing the contributions of black feminism, color feminism and Latin American feminism as decolonizing epistemic approaches. This analytical assessment is used to highlight the theoretical and critical scope of a localized, contextualized intersectional approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The portraits in the film Oriana (Torres, 1985) are signs of conflict that show a form of thought that goes through the characters in the story and trigger a fatal outcome that marks them for life. The goal of this analysis is to identify the signs, the forces and tensions that occur and could explain the events and the outcome of the story. To do so, the analysis of two portraits presented in the film is proposed. The first one is the pictorial portrait of the father that is based on the description by Moreno (1975), but represented in a distinct way and defined to a different space, in comparison with the text. The second is the family photograph that opens the film, preceded by the events that occurred during the shooting. Those pictures expose relationships of power and domination of the father over his family that caused the transgression of the established order. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

I analyse Gramsci's internationalist thinking from a sociological perspective, interpreting how he reconciled the ideals inherent to "proletarian internationalism" with the demand for national Italian unification. The methodology consists of tracing a parallel between biography and "Political Writings", exposing his first forays in favour of the independence of Sardinia, his turn to workers' militancy in Turin and the fight against fascism. I conclude with arguments from nationality theorists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Polyploidization is a common and recurring phenomenon in plants and is often thought to be a mechanism of “instant speciation�. Whether polyploidization is associated with the formation of new species (cladogenesis) or simply occurs over time within a lineage (anagenesis), however, has never been assessed systematically. METHODS: We tested this hypothesis using phylogenetic and karyotypic information from 235 plant genera (mostly angiosperms). We first constructed a large database of combined sequence and chromosome number data sets using an automated procedure. We then applied likelihood models (ClaSSE) that estimate the degree of synchronization between polyploidization and speciation events in maximum likelihood and Bayesian frameworks. KEY RESULTS:Our maximum likelihood analysis indicated that 35 genera supported a model that includes cladogenetic transitions over a model with only anagenetic transitions, whereas three genera supported a model that incorporates anagenetic transitions over one with only cladogenetic transitions. Furthermore, the Bayesian analysis supported a preponderance of cladogenetic change in four genera but did not support a preponderance of anagenetic change in any genus. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, these phylogenetic analyses provide the first broad confirmation that polyploidization is temporally associated with speciation events, suggesting that it is indeed a major speciation mechanism in plants, at least in some genera.
