This exploratory research is a case study of a public university in Thailand. The research examines whether gender inequality exists in the pay raise process at Khon Kaen University over a two-fiscal year period (FY2002 and 2003). It also considers what factors might account for differences between male and female faculty in pay raises at this university, looking at factors such as productivity and family responsibilities. The research develops and tests measures of the Southeast Asian concepts of kinship, patronage, turn-taking and seniority systems. Three data sources are used, university personnel records, self-administered surveys and the annual evaluation report. Results show that raises tend to be equitable and faculty are equally productive, regardless of gender, discipline, academic rank, or position cluster. When significant differences are identified in this study, female faculty frequently reported that they received higher pay raises than their male colleagues. The well-established rules and regulations regarding pay raises (minimum requirements for productivity and pay raise steps) at this university prohibit any kind of systematic bias in pay raises. One of the other goals of this research was to test the Southeast Asian concepts of kinship, patronage, turn taking and seniority, and the extent to which each may be a factor in performance and pay raises. The research indicates these four may play a role, but their actual influence is not entirely clear and will require additional study. To address some of these issues, future research would explore the same public university with a longer time frame and then compare the result at KKU with other universities in Thailand and other universities in Southeast Asia. Interviewing both male and female faculty members in terms of their actual workloads, productivity, assigned tasks, and their perceptions of the impact of age and administrative position is recommended. Interviewing only female faculty members in different disciplines (female-dominated, male-dominated and balanced disciplines) concerning their experiences of inequality and how they deal with family responsibilities that affect productivity is also important for future research. / Ph.

Esta dissertação aborda a dimensão geopolítica associada à cultura historiográfica luso-americana no início do século XVIII. Para tanto, examina as produções historiográficas da Academia Brasílica dos Esquecidos, instituída na cidade de Salvador, no ano de 1724. As Dissertações Históricas, produzidas pela dita Academia, assim como as obras de Sebastião da Rocha Pita, Tratado Político e História da América Portuguesa, constituíram as principais fontes para análise. O processo de investigação possibilitou considerar representações sociais que se estabeleceram a partir da atividade de escrita de uma história acerca dos domínios ultramarinos lusitanos. A construção desse conhecimento foi estratégica para a realização de um projeto político e articulou a memória, saberes e práticas diplomáticas, num contexto permeado de mudanças nas concepções jurídicas e intelectuais que embasavam as disputas territoriais. Inseriu-se, assim, no plano das políticas interna e externa de Portugal ao longo dos séculos XVII e XVIII. Nesse processo, estiveram envolvidas concepções clássicas revisitadas a partir da cultura ilustrada, rediscutindo simbologias, conceitos e práticas associadas à escrita da história e às territorialidades. / This dissertation is on the geopolitical dimension associated to the early eighteenth century Luso-American historiographical culture. Therefore, it examines the historiographical works of the Academia Brasílica dos Esquecidos, instituted in Salvador, Brazil, in 1724. The Historical Dissertations, elaborated by the Academy members, as well as the works of Sebastião da Rocha Pita, Tratado Político e História da América Portuguesa, constituted the main sources for analysis. The investigation process made it possible to consider social representations settled from the activity of writing History about Portugal\'s overseas domains. The construction of this knowledge was strategic for the realization of a political project and articulated the memory and the diplomatic practices, in a context of juridical and intellectual shifts concerning the territorial order. The Academy was inserted in the field of the internal and external policies of Portugal throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In this process, classical categories were revisited, giving new meanings to symbols, concepts, and practices associated with the writing of History and with the territorialities.

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo explorar la manifestación de la subjetividad en el texto de la definición lexicográfica y dar cuenta, a través de esta, de la perspectiva que, a título individual, el lexicógrafo vierte en el espacio textual en cuestión. En contraste con el objetivo de colocar en la definición el saber compartido que los hablantes comparten como parte del significado, la filtración de la postura, expectativas y conocimientos específicos del emisor del texto permite entrever en el diccionario las motivaciones y determinaciones lingüísticas, cognitivas e ideológicas que conducirían a aquel a la formulación de un texto que se aleja del significado general, de aquel valor semántico con que un determinado vocablo circula entre los hablantes. Es con este afán que se emprende aquí el análisis de las definiciones que, para coca, puma y llama, los diccionarios de la Real Academia Española han presentado a lo largo de su historia. Apelando a herramientas conceptuales como las de significado estereotípico, concepción consustancionalista y nomenclaturista del signo lingüístico, ideología y otras vinculadas, así como a la propuesta metodológica de las marcas de enunciación subjetiva, se pretende realizar un ejercicio de análisis textual-(meta)lexicográfico, del cual se desprenderá la existencia de construcciones textuales con una cierta carga subjetiva, motivadas por la comprensión de los tres vocablos señalados, por parte de los lexicógrafos académicos, sobre la base de referentes del mundo (no necesariamente lingüísticos), hechos históricos e ideologías hispanocéntricas y que conceptualizan el mundo americano a partir de paralelos con el contexto y modo de vida españoles. / Tesis

This study considers the relationship between an academic elite and its political socio-cultural context, in the case of ‘mizraḥanut’ in Israel. That is, a field, a network and a Hebrew discourse that produce knowledge about a vague conflation of the Middle East, Arabs, ‘Arabness,’ Islam, and ‘Islamness,’ an object that I call ‘the Arab/Muslim,’ and which mirrors the ethno-lingual-national-religious bind that Zionism advocates for Jews. Where other studies focus on either orientalist criticism or everyday academic capitalism, I argue that this field manifests an overdetermination of both ideologies, as it is poised at the junction of academia, orientalism and Zionism. The study looks at the way that the cultural import of ‘mizraḥanut’ in Jewish-Israeli society manifests through resourceful agencies of power-knowledge in and out of academia. At the same time, the field’s ties with, and dependency on, local and global (particularly American) academia are also significant to its discourse and praxis, and the trends there often pull in different political and philosophical directions. The academics in the field try to settle these potentially conflicting influences and work despite their tensions. The study draws on multiple scholarly traditions and offers new evidence for, and insights in, the various historical and cultural-discursive discussions with which it engages. From contributions to methodology and the different understandings of orientalism, through cultural-historical arguments about the origins and evolution of the local field and its colonial entanglements, to inferring the presupposed and the unsaid, this multi-layered anthropological study draws on, and develops the understanding of, broader political conditions, such as colonialism and neoliberalism.

En este trabajo hemos investigado las nuevas entradas en el Diccionario de la lengua Española (DRAE) y los neologismos en el Banco de neologismos construido por el Observatori de Neologia, con el enfoque en los préstamos de estos corpus, haciendo una comparación entre ellos para averiguar las posibles diferencias y la posible influencia de una postura restrictiva de la Real Academia Española sobre estas diferencias. El resultado confirma una frecuencia menor de préstamos en el DRAE, y notamos que el francés y el latín son contribuyentes en mayor grado en el diccionario que en el Banco de neologismos, mientras la relación es la inversa para el inglés, que por otra parte constituye el idioma de origen más frecuente de los préstamos en ambos corpus. Constatamos una adaptación ortográfica de los préstamos más extensa en el diccionario, pero no vemos diferencias destacables en cuanto al dominio contextual de los préstamos.  En resumen, las diferencias son en gran medida coherentes con la supuesta actitud de la RAE en retener una unidad de la lengua española.

René de Castro Thiollier (1884-1968), advogado e jornalista paulista, publicou contos, estudos histórico-biográficos, crônicas e ensaios, além de um romance, estampado nas páginas da Revista da Academia Paulista de Letras, que não chegou a terminar. Esteve presente em dois dos mais representativos eventos de nosso Modernismo: a Semana de Arte Moderna de 1922 e a famosa viagem de redescoberta do Brasil em 1924. A proposta deste trabalho é analisar sua produção literária Senhor Dom Torres e A Louca do Juqueri, contos, e Folheando a Vida, o romance inacabado a partir do exame dos suportes de publicação (o objeto livro), dos paratextos e da configuração das instâncias narrativas. Há em Senhor Dom Torres, impresso em 1921, traços que anunciem os experimentos estéticos que despontarão nos anos subsequentes à Semana? As conquistas modernistas, resultado do árduo embate travado ao longo da década de 1920, têm lugar em A Louca do Juqueri, lançado em 1938, e em Folheando a Vida, cuja edição, em forma de folhetim, atravessa os anos quarenta? Vigorosas na primeira metade do século XX, as relações literárias Brasil-França, redobradas pela ascendência francesa de René Thiollier, evidenciam-se nestas obras. Por conseguinte, enumerar e analisar as referências aos escritores de língua francesa (dentre os quais sobressai o autor da Histoire contemporaine, Anatole France) citados nas narrativas ou à margem delas, em epígrafe também faz parte do escopo deste trabalho. / René de Castro Thiollier (1884-1968), lawyer and journalist born in São Paulo, Brazil, wrote short stories, historical/biographical studies, chronicles and essays, in addition to one novel, published on the pages of Revista da Academia Paulista de Letras, which was left unfinished. He was present at two of the most representative events of our Modernism: the Modern Art Week, in 1922, and the famous voyage to rediscover Brazil, in 1924. The purpose of the present study is to analyze his literary production Senhor Dom Torres and A Louca do Juqueri, which are short stories, and Folheando a Vida, his unfinished novel based on the examination of the publication means (the object book), of the paratexts, and of the configuration of the storytelling instances. In Senhor Dom Torres, printed in 1921, are there traces that anticipate the aesthetic experiments that will emerge in the years following the Modern Art Week? Are the modernist advances, a result of the fierce confrontation held during the 20´s, present in A Louca do Juqueri, published in 1938, and in Folheando a Vida, which was published in chapters in a magazine during the 40´s? Vigorous in the first half of the 20th century, the literary relations between Brazil and France, emphasized by René Thiollier´s French ancestry, are evident in his works. Therefore, the listing and analysis of the references to French-speaking writers (among which Anatole France, author of Histoire contemporaine, stands out) mentioned in the texts or marginally, in epigraphs is also part of the scope of this project.
