Esta questão tem tomado novos contornos na reivindicação de uma identidade política feminista por parte de homens e transgêneros, colocando em xeque o até então critério básico para a assunção da identidade feminista. A saber: ser mulher. O presente estudo aborda especificamente a emergência dos homens enquanto sujeito político do feminismo. Para tanto, apresentamos inicialmente um breve histórico que procura demonstrar as diversas formas de apoio e participação dos homens nas ações e reivindicações feministas desde o marco das lutas sufragistas até os dias atuais. Percorremos ainda a trilha das teorias feministas e de gênero na tentativa de compreender a possibilidade de emergência do homem enquanto sujeito político do feminismo a partir das teorias que informam esse movimento social. Na busca de construir um marco teórico acerca da constituição das identidades para além de subjetividades originárias e iniciais, recorremos à teoria do discurso formulada por Ernesto Laclau e Chantal Mouffe. Com o objetivo de compreender a identificação dos homens com o feminismo, esse arcabouço teórico é confrontado às entrevistas realizadas com homens que se identificam como feministas. Dessa forma, compreendemos a emergência dos homens enquanto sujeito político do feminismo a partir da articulação de suas demandas em uma cadeia de equivalências feminista. Tal articulação está orientada por uma concepção do feminismo como um projeto ou modelo de sociedade, A diferença sexual é concebida de modo a não determinar as diferentes posições que os sujeitos podem assumir em relação ao projeto/ modelo de sociedade feminista. Entretanto, tal articulação se dá não sem resistências. No decurso do texto, também podemos perceber como se faz presente uma contraditória reafirmação do feminismo como um espaço de articulação circunscrito pela diferença sexual. / Since the 1980s the feminist movement has been facing questions that are creating a debate about the limits and possibilities of expansion of its political subject. This issue has taken on new contours on the claim of a feminist politic identity by men and transgender people, putting into question the hitherto basic criterion for the assumption of feminist identity: being a woman. Thus, this study specifically addresses the emergence of men as a political subject of feminism. Therefore, first we present a brief history which seeks to demonstrate the various forms of support and participation of men in the feminist actions and claims since the mark of suffrage fights to the present day. We had followed the trail of feminist and gender theories in an attempt to understand the possibility of the emergence of man as a political subject of feminism from the theories that inform this social movement. In the quest to build a theoretical framework about the constitution of identities beyond the founder and initial subjectivities, we used the theory of the speech created by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. In order to understand the identification of men with feminism, this theoretical framework is confronted with interviews with men who identify themselves as feminists. Thus, we understand the emergence of men as a political subject of feminism from the articulation of their demands in a chain of feminist equivalences. This joint is guided by a conception of feminism as a project or model of society, so the gender difference is conceived in a way that does not determine the different positions that the subjects may take in relation to the project / model of feminist society. However, such coordination takes place not without resistance. Thus, we can also see how it is actual a conception of feminism as a link space circumscribed by sexual difference.

Animal trainers use shaping to teach many behaviors. However, during shaping, the organism may engage in behaviors other than the target behavior or approximations to the target behavior. If the animal is engaged in other behaviors, the rate of reinforcement may decrease and the trainer may resort to what is sometimes referred to as a “desperation click.” That is, the trainer delivers one reinforcer for a behavior that is not a successive approximation to the target response. Anecdotal reports from trainers suggest that sometimes the animal continues to repeat this other behavior that received only one reinforcer, even in the absence of further reinforcement for that behavior. This study compared whether, during a one minute extinction period, participants spent more time engaged in a behavior that had been reinforced only once after a brief period of no reinforcement or in a behavior that had been reinforced multiple times. Participants, who were university students, played a tabletop game that involved touching and manipulating small objects. Five conditions were repeated twice for each participant: reinforcement for interacting with a training object alone, reinforcement for interacting with a training object with other objects present, reinforcement for interacting with a target object, one reinforcer for interacting with a third object immediately following a brief period of no reinforcement, and reinforcement for interacting with any object. Results from this study show that a desperation click situation can be reliably produced in a controlled setting. When participants received one reinforcer for interacting with a new object following a period of no reinforcement, they interacted with the new object for a longer or equal amount of time as compared to an object that had a history of reinforcement.

This dissertation examines how three contemporary Mexican intellectuals confront the cultural milieu and political economy of the neoliberal era by revising the utopian imaginaries of Mexico’s major 20th century student movements. Building on recent scholarship on Mexican history and geography, urban studies, and political theory, I analyze the cities and politics that Mexican intellectuals have imagined to challenge the neoliberal cultural injunction against alternative forms of utopian thinking. The principal works studied in this dissertation are Roberto Bolaño’s novels Amuleto (1999), Los detectives salvajes (1998), and El espíritu de la ciencia-ficción (2016); Eduardo Ruiz Sosa’s novel Anatomía de la memoria (2014); and Alonso Ruizpalacios’ film Güeros (2014). The first chapter examines Roberto Bolaño’s treatments of the 1968 student movement and the Tlatelolco massacre within his broader Mexico City works. Bolaño uses metaphors derived from horror film to critique traditional historiographies of ’68 that are colored by morbid fascination with the violence, while positing science fiction as a utopian method for rethinking the relationship between the past and the future. The second chapter analyzes how Eduardo Ruiz Sosa’s novel Anatomía de la memoria conjures the specters of the 1970s student guerilla uprising in Sinaloa to shed light on the present struggles against the contemporary violence plaguing cities like Culiacán. I approach Ruiz Sosa’s novel as a study of the ruins of revolutionary Third Worldism which politicizes individual and collective processes of mourning and reaffirms a future open to possibilities beyond narco-neoliberal sovereignty. The third chapter unpacks the utopian resonances of Alonso Ruizpalacios’ film Güeros about the 1999-2000 National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) student strike against the neoliberal effort to privatize higher education. I read the portrayal of the student occupation of the UNAM campus as an exploration of the dialectical utopian tensions between the needs for access to urban resources and poetic encounters with the unexpected in city life. By studying these intellectuals as critics of neoliberalism and as visual and textual philosophers of the utopian, my dissertation conceives of utopia as a strategy of finding potentialities within historical narratives to restore a sense of possibility to contemporary political landscapes.

The first study to examine the status of plot in the modernist novel and the integral role that commercial narrative film played in shaping it, Missing Story reads the modernist novel in conjunction with the evolution of cinematic narrative. It argues that an exemplary subset of modern novelists detected in narrative cinema of the early twentieth century an attempt to co-opt realist storytelling, and to ignore the social, political, economic, and philosophical reasons why modernist authors sought to displace realism. Plot has been considered anathema to a modernist narrative difficulty meant to challenge the ideology of Enlightenment progress and bourgeois values for which realist plot was assumed an aesthetic proxy. Missing Story, however, reveals that far from expunging realist plot, the modernist novel attempted to recuperate it in complex ways, and that cinema’s increased reliance on realist storytelling played a hitherto un-recognized role in this aesthetic crisis. Narrative film forced modern novelists to acknowledge the affordances of realist plot—its ability, in the nineteenth-century realist tradition, to generate coherent selfhood over time, to lend narrative shape to the changing tides of history, and to secure social belonging. My project shows how the novel’s relinquishment of realist plot thus generated a surge of contradictory textual dynamics and affective intensities in modernist narrative form and its characters. Demonstrating that modernist novelists were drawn to film’s powers of storytelling rather than abstraction, my project also revises recent scholarship on modernism and the new media. Even though media histories of modernism have broadened their purview to include a diversity of mass cultural—rather than solely avant-garde—texts, they still tend to focus on the breakdown of form and the ways that modernist literature sees itself in popular culture’s fissures and lapses. Through readings of works by Nella Larsen, William Faulkner, Djuna Barnes, Tod Browning, and Max Ophuls, I argue that it was commercial film’s ability to suture stories together—not to break them apart— that generated a formal and ideological crisis in the modern novel. That crisis, I contend, resulted from an intense ambivalence toward plot, ambivalence fueled by critique and colored by longing. / 2021-11-12T00:00:00Z

Infants begin to learn important skills, such as contingency learning, social referencing, and joint attention through everyday interactions with their environment. When infants learn that their behavior produces a change in the environment (e.g., attention from others), infants engage in behavior that produces that effect (e.g., increases in smiling sustained engagement. When mothers and other caregivers respond immediately to infant behavior, they help their infant learn that the infant’s own behavior is effective, producing a change in the environment. The current investigation evaluated the effect of a computer-based training that aimed at teaching mothers to play a vocal-imitation contingency-learning game. The training included observer-effect methodology, meaning the mothers engaged in observation and evaluation of other mothers engaging in vocal imitation but did not themselves receive any direct coaching or feedback. All mothers completed the training during one session and in less than 45 min. Results indicate that all mothers increased their use of vocal imitation post training and maintained their performance at a two-week follow-up. Results are discussed in terms of how computer training may facilitate dissemination of responsive caregiver training.

Ekonomistyrning innefattar många olika styrmekanismer men likväl saknas i tidigare forskning ett holistiskt perspektiv på organisationers styrsystem. Enskilda mekanismer har istället undersökts separat. Syftet med denna studie är därför att studera hur ett företags olika styrmekanismer samverkar och huruvida de är kongruenta med företagets omgivning. Det teoretiska ramverket baseras på contingencyteorin samt Burns och Stalkers (1961) distinktion mellan mekanistiska och organiska styrsystem. Dessa teorier utgjorde utgångspunkten för en kvalitativ fallstudie på konsultföretaget AffärsConcept. Med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer, interna dokument och data från SCB inhämtades information för att uppnå studiens syfte och besvara forskningsfrågorna. Med hänsyn till den insamlade empirin sätts i analysen AffärsConcepts omgivningsvariabler i relation till dess styrsystem. Resultatet visar att styrningen i AffärsConcept består av en kombination av mekanistiska och organiska aspekter, och att detta delvis är i linje med företagets omgivning.

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo desarrollar un plan de recuperación ante desastres para una empresa peruana de telecomunicaciones, tomando como un marco de referencia a la norma americana NIST 800-34, para ello se siguió los 7 procesos de planificación de contingencias que sugiere la norma. El trabajo está compuesto por 11 capítulos, en los tres primeros capítulos se hacen un acercamiento a la organización con el fin de conocer la estructura interna en el que se explora las situaciones problemáticas que afronta la organización, así mismo se definen los objetivos que serán clave para el desarrollo de todo el proyecto, en el marco teórico se analiza a fondo los procesos de la norma y los conceptos necesarios para comprender el tema. En el capítulo 4 se desarrolla ampliamente el plan de recuperación ante desastres, para ello se hace un análisis de impacto de negocio con el que se logra determinar los tres procesos críticos del negocio, como parte de este proceso se realiza un análisis de riesgo de todos los recursos que intervienen en los procesos críticos, dicho análisis sirve de entrada para definir los seis escenarios de desastre, así mismo se desarrollaron las estrategias que permitan actuar ante dichos escenarios, se definen los recursos necesarios, los roles y responsabilidades de los equipos de respuesta, por otro lado se realizaron pruebas y ejercicios de los sistemas implementados para garantizar su eficacia ante un escenario real. Por último, se hace un análisis de los resultados y se brinda las conclusiones y recomendaciones. / This paper aims to develop a disaster recovery plan for a Peruvian telecommunications company, taking as a frame of reference the American standard NIST 800-34, for this the 7 contingency planning processes suggested by the standard were followed.  The work is composed of 11 chapters, in the first three chapters an approach to the organization is made in order to know the internal structure in which the problematic situations that the organization faces are explored, as well as defining the objectives that will be key For the development of the entire project, in the theoretical framework the processes of the standard and the concepts necessary to understand the subject are thoroughly analyzed. In Chapter 4, the disaster recovery plan is widely developed as such, for this a business impact analysis is made with which it is possible to determine the three critical processes of the business, as part of this process a risk analysis of all assets is performed that intervene in the critical processes, this analysis serves as input to define the six disaster scenarios, as well as the strategies that allow acting in these scenarios, the necessary resources, roles and responsibilities of the response teams are defined, by On the other hand, tests and exercises of the systems implemented were carried out to guarantee their effectiveness in a real scenario. Finally, an analysis of the results is made, and the conclusions and recommendations are provided. / Tesis

With the birth of “virtual worlds,” created a new space for social norms to evolve and change within a subset community. This thesis focuses on toxicity within the virtual world of EA DICE’s Battlefield V title. The goal of this research is to understand toxicity on a micro scale inside the world of Battlefield V from a gaming anthropological perspective. Along with understanding what toxicity looked like within the virtual world ofBattlefield V, the thesis obtained data for how the community and EA DICE employees perceived toxicity. This research has components of interviews with these members of the communities/staff as well as a netnography of the virtual world of Battlefield V gameplay. Findings and analysis were categorized under the themes of toxic language, power/freedom, virtual world creation, and gender toxicity. Battlefield V toxicity is ever evolving and shaped by player techne (player actions). Player chat consumes the majority of toxicity and therefore diving into toxic language was vital. Understanding the player perspective of power and freedom while gaming was just the first step as the thesis also dove into the developer’s perspective and analyzed the interviews with the backbone of Malaby’s (2009) contingency concepts to see how the developers have a large role to play when it comes to toxicity in games, even if they may not realize it. Just as in the “real world” the virtual world of Battlefield V also had a major theme of gender discrimination winessed and discussed via both community members and staff members of EA DICE. Overall, the goal of this research was not to find out if toxicity was “good” or “bad” but to simply shed more light on the complex topic within virtual worlds and open up research for other anthropologists to do further research on the topic.

The findings of this study serve as an exploratory case-study examining the conditions of professional learning for in-service principals in one north Texas suburban district with changing student demographics. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of a variety of data collected sought to reveal how professional development of principals increased a principal's contingent leadership skills to positively affect student achievement through school improvement efforts. Perceptions were examined from the sample of seven executive directors at the district level; six campus principals (two elementary, two middle, and two high school); and eight teachers selected from among four of the six campuses whose principal participated in a semi-structured interview. Additionally, responses from a principal survey were examined. Findings were organized around three themes that surfaced from the deductive and inductive analysis of data collected in response to the three research questions. The themes were: instructional leadership and other principal responsibilities, principal professional development and components of professional learning, and measuring the effectiveness of principal professional learning. Findings revealed that there are many offerings of professional development opportunities available to principals in Learning ISD. The components essential in effective principal professional learning opportunities in the studied district consisted of embedding social capital, professional capital, and decisional capital to develop contingency leadership skills. Measuring the effectiveness of principal professional learning remains an area of growth for the district studied as well as the adherence to a meaningful principal evaluation system that can properly quantify and qualify a campus administrator's effect on school improvement and student learning.
