Women in the Legal Profession

In recent years, the high percentage of lawyers in Portugal became a controversial issue. As a large number of law graduates have been competing for admission at the Bar, this trend is creating new challenges to the profession, with important resonances in the Bar admission policy. The purpose of this presentation is to illustrate the progress made by women in legal professions, in Portugal, over the last decades. In order to contextualize our analysis, we begin with an overview of the position of women in the labor market and then focus on the legal professions. Firstly, the increasing presence of women in different segments of the legal field is analyzed by means of a statistical approach. Afterwards, we draw a critical analysis highlighting the bearing of these developments and deconstructing their meaning in terms of career patterns, remuneration and professional status. Our analysis of contemporary official data on legal professions reveals that even though women are occupying a growing number of positions in private practice, they earn lower salaries, have lower job satisfaction and have a more critical reasoning towards the public image of lawyers. Concerning magistrates, women working in superior courts continue to be underrepresented. Overall, we conclude that the increasing integration of women in legal professions is not straightforward, and there are still many aspects that need to be addressed the private and public sector.

Intersubject Regularity in the Intrinsic Shape of Human V1

Previous studies have reported considerable intersubject variability in the three-dimensional geometry of the human primary visual cortex (V1). Here we demonstrate that much of this variability is due to extrinsic geometric features of the cortical folds, and that the intrinsic shape of V1 is similar across individuals. V1 was imaged in ten ex vivo human hemispheres using high-resolution (200 μm) structural magnetic resonance imaging at high field strength (7 T). Manual tracings of the stria of Gennari were used to construct a surface representation, which was computationally flattened into the plane with minimal metric distortion. The instrinsic shape of V1 was determined from the boundary of the planar representation of the stria. An ellipse provided a simple parametric shape model that was a good approximation to the boundary of flattened V1. The aspect ration of the best-fitting ellipse was found to be consistent across subject, with a mean of 1.85 and standard deviation of 0.12. Optimal rigid alignment of size-normalized V1 produced greater overlap than that achieved by previous studies using different registration methods. A shape analysis of published macaque data indicated that the intrinsic shape of macaque V1 is also stereotyped, and similar to the human V1 shape. Previoud measurements of the functional boundary of V1 in human and macaque are in close agreement with these results.

“Fiction makes a better job of the truth”: dialogism, oppositional consciousness and re-membering in the novels of Helena María Viramontes

This thesis comprises close textual analyses of Chicana author Helena María Viramontes' two published novels, Under the Feet of Jesus (1995) and Their Dogs Came With Them (2007). These analyses fall under three broad frameworks: space, time and body. Chapter One engages with the first of these frameworks, space, and explores concepts of cognitive mapping and heteroptopias. Chapter Two, which looks at time, employs theories of intertextuality and the palimpsest, while Chapter Three looks at the interrrelationship between mythology and images of the body in the texts. This study emerges five years after the publication of Viramontes' last novel, Their Dogs Came With Them, but offers fresh insight into the contribution of the author to both the Chicano literary tradition and also the U.S. canon through her critique of hegemonic power structures that suppress not only the voices of lower class ethnic citizens but also of ethnic writers. In particular, her work chastises the paucity of attention given to ethnic women writers in the U.S. This thesis reaffirms Viramontes' position as one of the most important writers living and writing in the U.S. today. It corroborates her work as a contestation against ethnic and gender suppression, and applauds the craftsmanship of her narrative style that delicately but decisively exposes the socio-political wrongs that occur in ocntemporary U.S. society.

Aesthetic campaigns and counter-campaigns. Jorge Luis Borges and a century of the Argentine detective story (1877-1977)

This cultural history of Argentine crime fiction involves a comprehensive analysis of the literary and critical traditions within the genre, paying particular attention to the series of ‘aesthetic campaigns’ waged by Jorge Luis Borges and others during the period between 1933 and 1977. The methodological approach described in the introductory chapter builds upon the critical insight that in Argentina, generic discourse has consistently been the domain, not only of literary critics in the traditional mould, but also of prominent writers of fiction and specialists from other disciplines, effectively transcending the traditional tripartite ‘division of labour’ between writers, critics and readers. Chapter One charts the early development of crime fiction, and contextualises the evolution of the classical and hardboiled variants that were to provide a durable conceptual framework for discourse in the Argentine context. Chapter Two examines a number of pioneering early works by Argentine authors, before analysing Borges’ multi-faceted aesthetic campaign on behalf of the ‘classical’ detective story. Chapter Three examines a transitional period for the Argentine crime genre, book-ended by the three Vea y Lea magazine-sponsored detective story competitions that acted as a vital stimulus to innovation among Argentine writers. It includes a substantial treatment of the work of Rodolfo Walsh, documenting his transition from crime writer and anthologist to pioneer of the non-fiction novel and investigative journalism traditions. Chapter Four examines the period in which the novela negra came to achieve dominance in Argentina, in particular the aesthetic counter-campaigns conducted by Ricardo Piglia and others on behalf of the hard-boiled variant. The study concludes with a detailed analysis of Pablo Leonardo’s La mala guita (1976), which is considered as a paradigmatic example of crime fiction in Argentina in this period. The final chapter presents conclusions and a summary of the dissertation, and recommendations for further research.

THE ART SONG OF SOUTH AMERICA: AN EXPLORATION THROUGH PERFORMANCE

The repertoire included in this dissertation was presented over the course of three recitals, The Songs of Argentina, The Songs of Brazil, Chile and Venezuela, and The Songs of Perú and Colombia. Each recital was supplemented by written program notes and English translations of the Spanish, Portuguese and Quechua texts. The selections presented in this study was chosen in an effort to pair the works of internationally renowned composers like Argentine composers Alberto Ginastera and Carlos Guastavino, and Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, with those of lesser-known composers, including Venezuelan composer Juan Bautista Plaza, Peruvian composers Edgar Valcárcel, Theodoro Valcárcel, and Rosa Mercedes Ayarza de Morales, and Colombian composer Jaime Léon. Each composer represents a milestone in the development of art song composition in South America. All three recitals were recorded and are available on compact discs in the Digital Repository at the University of Maryland (DRUM). This dissertation was completed in May, 2011.

Prácticas agrícolas y seguridad alimentaria : un caso de estudio en los Andes centrales argentinos

Esta investigación se propuso identificar los factores adicionales a los problemas estructurales (migración, tenencia de la tierra, acceso al agua, falta de empleo y marginación) por los cuales las familias de Tudcum, comunidad de la Provincia argentina de San Juan, no alcanzan a asegurarse una alimentación adecuada, durante el período 2004 - 2006. Se realizó un estudio de caso con un marco metodológico inscrito en la investigación cualitativa, de tipo etnográfico. El marco interpretativo de los hallazgos se basa en conceptos sobre alimentación (seguridad y soberanía alimentaria), pobreza (propuestas de Amartya Sen) y agricultura (prácticas culturales, agroecología), así como de sus relaciones mutuas. Los hallazgos principales mostraron que el acceso a una alimentación que permita satisfacer las necesidades biológicas y culturales de esta población se encuentra afectado por la escasa disponibilidad de recursos económicos, la falta de asesoramiento técnico y por la aparición de nuevos hábitos alimenticios. Por ello se ha considerado que la seguridad alimentaria de la población de Tudcum se encuentra condicionada a la capacidad de sus miembros para: a) formar redes de intercambio, b) obtener un salario, c) participar de los programas sociales ofrecidos por el gobierno, d) manejar adecuadamente los recursos agrícolas y e) la combinación entre dos o más de las estrategias antes mencionadas. Aún a pesar de las transformaciones sociológicas en materia ocupacional (pluriactividad) que ocurren en Tudcum, la actividad agropecuaria se mantiene y en todos los casos estudiados, desempeña un papel importante. Con ello, se evidencia la necesidad de buscar alternativas productivas para zonas que presentan desventajas para ingresar a la cadena agroindustrial local, regional y nacional. Con esta información se espera aportar a una mejor intervención de los programas de apoyo a la seguridad y soberanía alimentaria.

Análisis de las transacciones industria-distribución y producción-industria del SAG lácteo argentino : estructuras de gobernancia y conflictos en un contexto de políticas de intervención

El favorable contexto internacional en las últimas décadas permitió el crecimiento de la producción mundial de leche especialmente en países como Nueva Zelanda y Brasil. Sin embargo en Argentina el sector presenta desde hace diez años un estancamiento en los niveles de producción en torno de los 8 y 10 mil millones de litros anuales. El Sistema de Agronegocios Lácteo argentino (SAG) ocupa un lugar importante en la economía, no solo como generador de empleo y riquezas sino por la importancia que tiene el consumo de lácteos a nivel local como productos de primera necesidad. Esta tesis tiene como objetivo general analizar las principales restricciones y limitaciones en la alineación de dos transacciones clave en el SAG lácteo argentino -Producción - Industria e Industria - Distribución - a partir del análisis de las estructuras de gobernancia presentes en términos de precio, plazos, salvaguardas y activos específicos involucrados y de las relaciones de poder y dependencia existentes en ambas interfaces. Para ello se desarrolla y aplica un modelo teórico-metodológico que incorpora conceptos de La Nueva Economía Institucional y conceptos desde la literatura de los canales de distribución. Se encontró que las transacciones bajo estudio suceden en un ambiente institucional de por sí incapaz de proveer un marco regulatorio que pueda dar soluciones a las mismas, y además altamente turbulento, especialmente a partir de la intervención estatal desde 2005. La dependencia 'hacia adelante' entre los eslabones es una de las principales limitaciones del SAG, llevando a que los ajustes, esto es el ejercicio de poder, -manifestado a su vez en la apropiación de cuasi rentas- se trasladen hacia atrás en el SAG, recayendo predominantemente en los productores y las PyMEs industriales, existiendo un conflicto permanente. Las fallas en la fijación del precio, los plazos de contratación que no están acordes con la amortización de los activos específicos, la falta de salvaguardas que reduzcan la incertidumbre y activos específicos que no son bien remunerados en un ambiente institucional altamente turbulento, son las principales fallas en estas relaciones.
