Perceptions of (narco) violence in Monterrey, MexicoAvila Loera, Adriana Melissa 05 November 2010 (has links)
My main interest is to do a comprehensive analysis, not precisely of data and statistics, but of the way in which regios, Monterrey residents, live and perceive the current wave of violence. This is the perception of violence, crime and fear in Mexico’s so-called post-neoliberal era, focusing on Monterrey’s situation. How do people talk about the increasing perception of violence? Has this perception of violence changed the way in which they live? Are there different perceptions of violence across classes? What does this discourse tell us about how they live/assimilate/reproduce the violence and fear in greater society? How can we make sense of it? I argue that fear of crime and violence are playing a crucial role in disciplining citizens’ lives across classes and that their subjectivities and self-governing techniques, fostered by the neoliberal structure of government, have evolved in a very particular way. / text

AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF A LATIN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY: THE INTERNATIONAL APPLICATION OF UNITED STATES COSTING TECHNIQUES (MEXICO).Ahumada, Martín Miguel January 1983 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to conduct an in-depth examination of factors associated with instructional cost variations among the academic units of a private, Mexican university, the Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM). The study also sought to understand the differences between this university's income and expenditure patterns and those of most comparable institutions in the United States. The analysis enabled the University to identify where it may be more efficient and, in what may turn out to be of most significance, provided it with a higher level of institutional self-awareness. The framework for this study utilized the concepts of the production function and cost theory, both borrowed from microeconomics. Three measures of instructional costs (cost per student-credit-hour, cost per full-time-student-equivalent, and cost per course) were regressed on a series of independent variables that were hypothesized to influence instructional costs. The study utilized the data classification and coding procedures developed by the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) and the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS). Differences in unit instructional costs among UDEM's academic units were largely due to differences in student-faculty ratios, average class sizes, and total number of courses taught (direct costs), and average salaries for clerical and administrative staff (indirect costs). These findings imply that UDEM may increase efficiency through curricular retrenchment and by increasing faculty productivity levels. The University's enrollment (2,300 at the university level) is very small for its broad liberal arts, professional and graduate curriculum. In comparing UDEM's income and expenditure patterns to those of most comparable U.S. institutions, it was found that UDEM depended more heavily on tuition and fees for income and, as such, either had not pursued or not been successful in obtaining other revenue. Yet, the University was able to devote a larger share of its revenue to instruction than were comparable U.S. institutions. In addition, UDEM provided relatively more support to its academic support function while rendering few resources for scholarships and fellowships. These results suggest that UDEM might benefit greatly from a well-designed fund-raising effort and that a student aid program targeted on low income students could yield additional income while expanding student opportunity and building public relations.

[en] CHRONICLE OF A FRUSTRATION FORETOLD: DILEMMAS OF FEMINIST (DIS)ENGAGEMENTS WITH THE MONTERREY FINANCING FOR DEVELOPMENT AGENDA. WHOSE CONSENSUS? / [pt] CRÔNICA DE UMA FRUSTRAÇÃO ANUNCIADA: DILEMAS DE (DES)ENGAJAMENTOS FEMINISTAS NA AGENDA DE FINANCIAMENTO DO DESENVOLVIMENTO EM MONTERREY. CONSENSO DE QUEM?DIANA AGUIAR ORRICO SANTOS 26 October 2009 (has links)
[pt] Essa dissertação analisa diversos dilemas enfrentados por ativistas
feministas no processo de escolha entre engajar-se ou não em agendas
institucionais do sistema ONU. Esses dilemas gravitam entre arriscar-se a ser
cooptado pelos processos aos quais se opõem, possivelmente legitimá-los e/ou
contestar e oferecer resistência a esses processos. O caso sobre o qual se centra a
análise é o processo Financiamento do Desenvolvimento (FfD) que culminou no
Consenso de Monterrey em março de 2002. Apesar das perspectivas (anunciadas)
de frustração, muitos Movimentos Feministas Transnacionais (MFTs) decidiram
permanecer engajados no processo até o fim, articulando uma política de
engajamento e resistência (chamada por eles de estratégia inside/outside). Essa
estratégia visa a participar das discussões oficiais criticamente e, ao mesmo
tempo, contestar a invisibilidade de como as questões de gênero estruturam o
projeto intelectual e prático do desenvolvimento atual. Para concluir, duas
hipóteses de trabalho são levantadas a respeito da decisão de engajamento desses
MFTs. Segundo a primeira hipótese, contida nos discursos dos MFTs, essa
decisão de engajamento - a priori contra-intuitiva - é decorrência de dois fatores:
a percepção da ONU como espaço de engajamento imprescindível; e a
importância das bandeiras de luta dentro de um processo de longo prazo e não
como busca imediatista de resultados. A segunda hipótese entende essa decisão
como permeada de lógicas de poder internas aos MFTs que buscam a manutenção
dos espaços institucionais duramente conquistados desde a Década da ONU para
as Mulheres. A conclusão aponta para a própria natureza dilemática dessa
estratégia. / [en] This thesis analyses the multiple dilemmas faced by feminist activists in the
process of choosing between engaging or not in UN institutional agendas. These
dilemmas include risking cooptation by the very processes they seek to oppose,
possibly legitimating them; or contesting and offering resistance to these
processes. The case upon which the analysis is carried is the Financing for
Development (FfD) process, which culminated in the Monterrey Consensus in
2002. Despite the (foretold) perspectives of frustration, many Transnational
Feminist Movements (TFMs) decided to stay in the process until the end, by
articulating a politics of engagement and resistance (which they call an
inside/outside strategy). The strategy calls for critically participating in official
discussions and, at the same time, contesting the invisibility of how gender
structures the current intellectual and practical development project. To conclude,
two hypotheses are raised regarding this decision to engage. According to the
first, this counter-intuitive decision is a result of two factors: the perception of the
UN as a vital space of engagement; and the importance of carrying out
contentious politics as part of a larger process. The second hypothesis understands
this decision as pervaded by logics of power internal to the TFMs, who seek to
maintain the institutional spaces they have struggled to acquire since the UN
Decade for Women. The conclusion points to the dilemmatic nature of this
strategy.

The transformation of the newsroom : the collaborative dynamics of journalists' workSchmitz Weiss, Amy Christine, 1976- 04 September 2012 (has links)
This study examines online news production through a cross-national comparative ethnography of two newsrooms: The Chicago Tribune in Chicago, Illinois and El Norte in Monterrey, Mexico. The researcher looks specifically at the extent of collaborative group work in the online newsroom. First, the researcher investigates the degree to which online newsrooms operate organizationally as collaborative groups when producing content for the website, as opposed to functioning individualistically when producing content for the website. The second facet examined is the cultural variability (Hofstede, 1980) of collaboration in the two online newsrooms, particularly whether the United States and Mexican online newsrooms support a collectivistic or individualistic and a high-context or low-context culture schema (Hofstede, 1980; Hall 1976). The last facet explored is how the collaborative behavior of the journalists in the two newsrooms supports or interferes with the practice of journalistic principles of verification and comprehensiveness and if this helps to make journalism better. This study found the El Norte newsroom has a collectivistic and high-context communication culture whereas The Chicago Tribune newsroom has an individualistic and low-context communication culture. Both newsrooms support the principles of verification and context in the news that is produced for the Website that helps to make the news accurate and comprehensive. It can be inferred, however, that the collectivistic, high-context communication culture is more supportive of a collaborative work environment that is conducive to making the journalists work together to help make the news accurate and comprehensive for the public. When the news is accurate and comprehensive, the public has better-informed citizens to make decisions in their daily lives as part of a democratic society. This study also has implications for the journalism and business industry as to the benefits of collaborative groupwork on the service or product outcome in an organization. / text

HidalgaDelgadillo, Jennifer 01 May 2024 (has links) (PDF)
"Hidalga" is a collection of eight short fiction stories featuring Mexican women. Some of the stories take place in Mexico and some in the U.S., others in imagined spaces that borrow cultural flavors and symbols from memories of growing up in the north of Mexico as acknowledgement of the liminal identities that are born from immigration.
Through blending humor and sensuality with serious matters like classism and sexism, the stories in "Hidalga" ask questions about morality and social rules with tender empathy for each character.
In "Hidalga," the story after which the collection is named, a failed high school student searches to redeem herself intellectually and romantically.
"Neighbors," tells the story of thirteen-year-old friends and their coming of age in a neighborhood where a known exhibitionist lives.
"Found Objects," is a comedy about two women in their thirties navigating the humiliations that come with trying to find romance.
"Pyotr Fixed All My Problems," is a surreal story about the delusions that become necessary for the survival of a marriage.
"Failing Chemistry," is another story about a high school student's romantic and academic woes.
"Texas History" is a blended fiction essay about the complicated legacies of the wars in the Texan border and a woman's personal battles in that same geographical space.
"Lorena's Story," is also about a woman battling society's expectations - even if it means losing everything.
Lastly, in "The Interpreter," an artist navigates the body as an objective observer and as a instrument of language.

L'émergence et la transformation des secteurs industrialo-résidentiels de Monterrey dans un contexte de libéralisme économique, 1890-1970 : une analyse morphologiqueReyes Rodríguez, Ramón 12 April 2018 (has links)
La présente recherche porte sur une analyse de la morphogenèse de Monterrey, ville industrielle frontalière du nord-est du Mexique. À travers trois échelles de lecture, soit l'échelle du territoire, de la ville et du quartier, on fait une analyse des caractéristiques d'émergence et de transformation des secteurs industrialo-résidentiels. La recherche met en valeur les quartiers ouvriers créés de manière directe par les entrepreneurs de Monterrey entre 1890 et 1970. Formes urbaines sans précédents locaux, ces quartiers constituent des mutations morphologiques qui expriment une pensée moderniste dans le milieu urbain. Ils deviennent des objets identitaires modestes qui morphologiquement inspirent le développement postérieur de la ville L'analyse se réalise dans un contexte de libéralisme économique qui reprend force au Mexique à la fin du 19e siècle, mais qui est modéré par la Constitution de 1917. Dans le milieu local, ce courant économique qui comporte une restructuration productive et foncière, entre autres, est aussi associé à l'émergence de formes urbaines anarchiques. La recherche prend sa pertinence en raison de la réémergence du libéralisme économique qui, sous le nom de mondialisation, comporte de nouvelles restructurations spatiales qui interpellent la ville et ses identités.
