Between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean : the late bronze age around the Tagus estuary (Portugal) : economic, social and cultural aspects

This paper deals with the importance, quantity and diversity of Late Bronze Age sites known around the Tagus estuary. The material culture points out to the existence of cultural stimuli from very different origins: from the Iberian Peninsula inner, the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean basin, related to the social organization and the economy of the populations that inhabited this region between the XIII century BC and the IX century BC, according to the available radiocarbon data. These populations interacted with the first Phoenicians that arrived to the region at the end of this period, after episodic relations of trading with their antecedents, from Central Mediterranean region.

Do you believe in the Loch Ness Monster? Children's influence on mothers' beliefs, values, and social/cultural practices.

Obtaining mothers' perspectives and descriptions of incidents in which their child(ren) said or did something that influenced the mothers' values, beliefs, and/or social or cultural practices, that is, the content of socialization, was the primary aim of this research. Bakhtin's (2004) metatheoretical account of dialogism was used to frame this study. From a dialogic perspective utterances (for example, the utterances of children in the present study) are events or acts and are presented as one way to view the process of socialization. In part this purpose, and the decision to utilize a qualitative research orientation, was to address a call (Lollis & Kuczynski, 1997) for qualitative or microanalytic analyses to help elucidate the processes of socialization. Mothers (N=10) in this study were able to provide descriptions of incidents in which their child(ren) said or did something that influenced the mother and hence we have some description of the concept of bidirectionality, a well accepted, but undertheorized concept in developmental psychology. While the concepts of multiple sources of influence and contexts are salient areas of research in parent-child socialization, and were mentioned in the informants reporting these areas did not appear to be as salient in the mothers' accounts. Emotions and the meaning mothers 'derived' from the interactions did, however, take much more prominence in the described incidents.

Análisis de las estrategias de gestión social en la recuperación de patrimonio cultural inmueble en centros históricos. Estudio de Caso: Bogotá, barrio La Candelaria, 2000-2010

Existen factores importantes en el deterioro del Centro Histórico de Bogotá, a saber, los crecientes movimientos poblacionales en el centro de la ciudad, las actividades de comercio que generan funciones poco constructivas para el centro histórico y la no apropiación de toda la población que hace uso de él. A partir de esta problemática se pensó algo que pareciera obvio y es que en buena parte el patrimonio además de la mención o interrogante respecto a los temas de ley tanto del Estado como del Distrito, en su facultad de dar una solución al deterioro del centro histórico, es también pensarlo desde el punto de vista de la gestión social. Entendiendo que el patrimonio no solamente se consolida o se protege pensando desde las herramientas o los recursos que promueve el Estado, sino de la gestión social misma, de aquella que los propios residentes, habitantes o usuarios del centro puedan movilizar.

La Ilustración y su sombra : dominación cultural y pedagogía social en la España del Siglo de las Luces.

Los principales agentes del pensamiento ilustrado fueron un grupo de intelectuales situados en la clase media-alta de la estratificación social. Los filósofos del Siglo de las Luces trataron de definir su propia identidad de grupo, lo que implica la autoafirmación de su especificad frente a otros grupos y clases sociales y a la elaboración de un proyecto coherente de sociedad. Así, esta cultura ilustrada supone negar la existencia de otros estilos de vida y otras culturas. La exclusión de la vida cultural de los dominados los hace desaparecer de la historia y otorga legitimidad científica a quienes pretenden monopolizar la cultura. Se intenta mostrar algunos de los medios que hicieron posible la creencia de que la Ilustración española se impuso como cultura legítima sin necesidad de utilizar medidas de fuerza.

Propuesta para la asignatura Ejercicios de Interpretación (mediación lingüística y cultural) en el ámbito social.

Se crea una red temática sobre interpretación en los servicios públicos formada por equipos docentes de tres universidades europeas: Salamanca, Hildesheim (Alemania) y Bolonia-Forli (Italia). Es una red con una vertiente didáctica que consiste en dotar de contenidos a una asignatura práctica de la Licenciatura en Traducción e Interpretación, con vistas al proceso de convergencia europea. Para ello los tres equipos elaboran una serie de materiales didácticos multilingües basados en situaciones-tipo de encuentros multiculturales en servicios sanitarios, administrativos o sociales, por lo que se trata de incluir la mediación social y cultural en los servicios públicos. En segundo lugar, se pretende dar una respuesta profesional a la necesidad, cada vez más presente en los países a los que pertenecen las universidades participantes, de disponer de profesionales de interpretación en los servicios que las distintas administraciones prestan a los ciudadanos inmigrantes, es decir, crear el perfil profesional de del intérprete social o comunitario. Los investigadores se han comunicado y realizado el proyecto a través de una intranet.

Emotions and the habitus: Young people with socio-emotional differences (re)producing social, emotional and cultural capital in family and leisure space-times

In this paper we explore the importance of emotionally inter-dependent relationships to the functioning of embodied social capital and habitus. Drawing upon the experiences of young people with socio-emotional differences, we demonstrate how emotionally inter-dependent and relatively nurturing relationships are integral to the acquisition of social capital and to the co-construction and embodiment of habitus. The young people presented in this paper often had difficulties in forging social relationships and in acquiring symbolic and cultural capital in school spaces. However, we outline how these young people (re)produce and embody alternative kinds of habitus, based on emotionally reciprocal relationships forged through formal and informal leisure activities and familial and fraternal social relationships. These alternative forms of habitus provide sites of subjection, scope for acquiring social and cultural capital and a positive sense of identity in the face of problematic relations and experiences in school spaces.

Inclusão social e atividades culturais: o Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil no Rio de Janeiro

The aim of this study is to look into the benefits provided to social inclusion by cultural activities carried out in a cultural place with great seriousness at Rio de Janeiro. To accomplish that, the author attempt to deepen into the social exclusion/inclusion in brazilian urban context, spotlighting the historic reality of the urban process of the city. Afterwards, by means of a quality research, document files from the cultural spot were consulted and looked into the view of customers, trustees and managers. For customers were applied questionnaires with open and close questions, with trustees and managers were made interviews, and also a documentary research with opinions available in mass media. This study fits into public politics, cultural and institutional marketing, for presenting examples of how cultural activities are essential tools for completely social inclusion of people in community, demonstrating that often marketing enterprises in culture area can result in benefits for society, even no being these their main purposes.

Cultural capital and social inequality in health

Economic and social resources are known to contribute to the unequal distribution of health outcomes. Culture-related factors such as normative beliefs, knowledge and behaviours have also been shown to be associated with health status. The role and function of cultural resources in the unequal distribution of health is addressed. Drawing on the work of French Sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, the concept of cultural capital for its contribution to the current understanding of social inequalities in health is explored. It is suggested that class related cultural resources interact with economic and social capital in the social structuring of people's health chances and choices. It is concluded that cultural capital is a key element in the behavioural transformation of social inequality into health inequality. New directions for empirical research on the interplay between economic, social and cultural capital are outlined.

Cultural capital and smoking in young adults: applying new indicators to explore social inequalities in health behaviour.

BACKGROUND Associations between social status and health behaviours are well documented, but the mechanisms involved are less understood. Cultural capital theory may contribute to a better understanding by expanding the scope of inequality indicators to include individuals' knowledge, skills, beliefs and material goods to examine how these indicators impact individuals' health lifestyles. We explore the structure and applicability of a set of cultural capital indicators in the empirical exploration of smoking behaviour among young male adults. METHODS We analysed data from the Swiss Federal Survey of Adolescents (CH-X) 2010-11 panel of young Swiss males (n = 10 736). A set of nine theoretically relevant variables (including incorporated, institutionalized and objectified cultural capital) were investigated using exploratory factor analysis. Regression models were run to observe the association between factor scores and smoking outcomes. Outcome measures consisted of daily smoking status and the number of cigarettes smoked by daily smokers. RESULTS Cultural capital indicators aggregated in a three-factor solution representing 'health values', 'education and knowledge' and 'family resources'. Each factor score predicted the smoking outcomes. In young males, scoring low on health values, education and knowledge and family resources was associated with a higher risk of being a daily smoker and of smoking more cigarettes daily. CONCLUSION Cultural capital measures that include, but go beyond, educational attainment can improve prediction models of smoking in young male adults. New measures of cultural capital may thus contribute to our understanding of the social status-based resources that individuals can use towards health behaviours.
