Reactions of African immigrants living in Houston, Texas, to the American media and legislation regarding female circumcision

Female circumcision was almost unheard of in the United States a few years ago. The recent influx of African immigrants has increased media attention to the subject, leading to laws criminalizing female circumcision. This study examines the reactions of African immigrants living in Houston, Texas, to media portrayal and legislation regarding female circumcision in an attempt to understand the effectiveness of U.S. laws, and media messages in deterring the practice. ^ Through literature reviews the study looks at how female circumcision is portrayed in the Houston Chronicle, and gives detailed discussion of laws regarding it. Attitudes, beliefs, experiences and reactions of African immigrants towards the practice and American's perceptions of female circumcision is examined via a series of case studies. ^ Data show that media and laws portray female circumcision negatively and make little attempt to understand the cultural practice, generating outrage among Africans who would like to see changes in the practice. ^

The emergence of the social determinants of health on the policy agenda in Britain: A case study, 1980--2003

Numerous theories have been advanced in the effort to explain how a given policy issue manages to take root in the public sphere and subsequently move forward on the public legislative agenda—or not. This study examined how the social determinants of health (SDOH) came to be part of the legislative policy agenda in Britain from 1980 to 2003. ^ The specific objectives of the research were: (1) to conduct a sociopolitical analysis grounded in alternative agenda-setting theories to identify the factors responsible for moving the social determinants health perspective onto the British policy agenda; and (2) to determine which of the theories and related dimensions best accounted for the emergence of this perspective. ^ A triangulated content and context analysis of British news articles, historical accounts, and research commentaries of the SDOH movement was conducted guided by relevant agenda-setting theories set within a social movement framework to chronicle the emergence of the SDOH as a significant policy issue in Britain. ^ The most influential social movement and agenda setting elements in the emergence of the SDOH in Britain were issue generation tactics, framing efforts, mobilizing structures, and political opportunities grounded in social movement and agenda setting theories. Policy content or the details of the policy had comparatively little impact on the successful emergence of the SDOH. Despite resistance by the government, from 1980 to 1996 interest groups created a political understanding of the SDOH utilizing a framing package encompassing notions of inequality, fairness, and justice. This frame transmitted a powerful idea connected to a core set of British values and beliefs. After 1996, a shift in political opportunities cemented the institutional arrangements needed to sustain an environment conducive to the development and implementation of SDOH policies and programs. ^ This research demonstrates that the U.S. emergence of the SDOH on the policy agenda will depend upon: (1) U.S. ideals and values regarding poverty, inequality, race, health, and health care that will determine issue framing; (2) political opportunities that will emerge—or not—to advance the SDOH policy agenda; and (3) the mobilizing structures that support or oppose the issue. ^

O subtexto do Chanceler Pero Lopez de Ayala na Crônica de D. João I de Fernão Lopes referente ao biênio de 1383-1384 : autoridade e desafio

El intento del artículo es percibir cómo el cronista portugués Fernão Lopes (1385-1460) se apropia, en el último texto suyo, del discurso del castellano Pero Lopez de Ayala (1332-1407) en la Crónica de D. Juan I. La parte elegida para el examen fue el bienio de 1383-1384, antes, por lo tanto, de la Batalla de Aljubarrota (1385). La comparación de las crónicas citadas todavía ya fue realizada por investigadores renombrados, sin embargo mi trabajo sigue el camino por la reducción de escala, o sea, por un análisis interpretativo de un bienio especifico, con la finalidad de iniciar un análisis más abarcador del rasgo de la crónica medieval ibérica medieval, objeto de mi presente pesquisa.

Modelos de representación de los actores subalternos en las crónicas del viaje a Europa de principios de siglo XX : Rubén Darío y Manuel Ugarte

Analizamos crónicas del viaje a Europa publicadas en los primeros años del siglo XX por Rubén Darío y Manuel Ugarte. Comparamos en las obras España contemporánea (1901) y Crónicas del bulevard (1902) modalidades de representación de formas de subjetividad subalternas, adoptamos como eje de nuestra lectura la concepción que en cada caso se establece del cambio social y de la función de la literatura.

Encuentro entre la historia y las creencias : Santa Apolonia

Este trabajo aborda la temática de una concepción que ha tenido vigencia en el ámbito de la enfermedad odontológica. Se realiza una referencia a la vinculación entre el comienzo de las prácticas de intervención junto al modelo de creencias religiosas como respuesta al problema del dolor en la cavidad bucal. La figura de Santa Apolonia es un ejemplo del entrecruzamiento de la crónica histórica y las creencias de orden religioso en el proceso de desarrollo de la odontología.

Relecturas críticas de la crónica y construcción de la especificidad latinoamericana

Partimos de una reconstrucción de los desarrollos teóricos y críticos acerca de la crónica durante el período comprendido entre las décadas de 1940 y 1980. Sostenemos la hipótesis de que la inesperada sobrevivencia y la importancia actual de la crónica como género se debe a estas sucesivas relecturas. Asimismo, sostenemos que, a través de dichas relecturas, la crítica latinoamericana fue generando un espacio de teorización de su propia praxis y conformando un discurso de la especificidad latinoamericanista como afirmación de la diferencia cultural.
