Resumen (analítico)Este artículo pone de manifiesto la existencia de un elemento transversal en la relación de la juventud con la esfera pública, que contribuye a comprender mejor la naturaleza de ...sus expresiones políticas: la asimilación de una cierta posición periférica impuesta dentro del espacio social. La idea de espacio social, y en particular la de periferia, contribuyen a dar coherencia a determinados fenómenos y tendencias de la movilización sociopolítica de la juventud en su conjunto. Para ello, se analizan tres movimientos juveniles surgidos en Barcelona durante el año 2019, en los que la juventud tuvo especial protagonismo. Las diferencias y similitudes entre los tres movimientos muestran la versatilidad de la noción de periferia, que sirve para visualizar la precariedad vital que identifica a toda una generación, más allá de sus diferencias.

Frutto di ricerche svolte in diversi Paesi europei, questo libro analizza il fenomeno del posting of workers in un’ottica internazionale e interdisciplinare, con particolare attenzione alle ...condizioni di lavoro, salute e sicurezza, alle questioni normative, agli illeciti, alle violazioni dei diritti dei lavoratori in distacco transnazionale. Da questa disamina ricca di documentazione, il posting of workers emerge come una nuova frontiera della svalorizzazione del lavoro, che estremizza tendenze caratteristiche delle trasformazioni del lavoro avvenute negli ultimi decenni a scala globale, in primis la precarizzazione e il dumping sociale.
la juventud se ha convertido, desde el inicio de la crisis en 2008, en un tema mediático y objeto de estudio e investigación así como de diseño de políticas públicas que incluyan el objetivo de ...paliar la situación de dificultad y precariedad en la que se encuentran muchos jóvenes en la actualidad. Jóvenes con una gran formación y que tienen que abandonar el país por no encontrar empleo adecuado en españa; jóvenes que abandonaron el sistema educativo para incorporarse al mercado laboral y que con la crisis se han quedado sin empleo; jóvenes que no pueden emanciparse por carecer de medios y que como consecuencia de ello, alargan la permanencia en casa de sus padres. Jóvenes que en definitiva ven un futuro incierto en sus vidas. el objetivo de esta introducción es ofrecer una breve panorámica y una presentación de los diferentes artículos incluidos en el presente número de la revista.
This article investigates legal performativities of grievability in contemporary child migration and argues for a scalar approach to analyse and understand the cultural politics underpinning current ...debates on the 'moving' child. I turn to two court cases in the Dutch context that involve alleged child trafficking in international adoption on the one hand and the threat of deportation in child asylum on the other. These two forms of child migration have rarely been investigated in tandem although both concern the transnational movement of children from the global South to the wealthy North. By focusing on the legal concept of 'the right to family life' and 'the best interest of the child' I point to the performativity of law and the ways in which cultural constructions of the child, childhood, kin and humanitarianism intervene in our work of justification. My contention is that placing these 'different-but-same bodies' within a scalar dimension - one that takes into account spatio-temporal conditions of grievability - enables us to understand modern investments in child-bodies and the complexities of justice in globalization.
Globalization strengthens mutual interdependency between persons, nations and peoples. Such dependency implies exposed and experienced vulnerability. The significance of religion in people's lives ...seems to increase with their experience of insecurity. Whereas secularization continues where people enjoy a basic level of welfare and security, the perceived importance and impact of religion is generally increasing around the globe, due to globalized experiences of precariousness and vulnerability affecting the majority. This situation raises the question of how different forms of religiosity relate to people’s sense of vulnerability. In this article I explore in what ways a Lutheran and ecumenical theological approach inspired by liberation and feminist theologies may provide resources that make it possible to see human vulnerability as a value and strength that should be protected, not removed. Might vulnerability even be perceived as sacred? Can God be seen as a deus vulnerabilis? I also ask in what ways liturgical practice may visualize and operationalize such a theology of vulnerability.
AbstractBackgroundThe FLAM study was set up in order to assess the effectiveness of FV vouchers allowed to low-income households, on their FV consumption. The aim of the present study was to ...investigate issues associated with conducting interventional trials in disadvantaged populations using the FLAM study as an example of reaching target populations and recruitment difficulties.MethodsFamilies were recruited in Saint-Denis city (North Paris suburb), via social and municipal structures. Main interest variables in the study (food consumptions) were collected using face-to-face food interviews, either at home or municipal facilities. A qualitative analysis was performed among people who refused to participate in order to understand the barriers to participation.ResultsA total of 95 parents-child pairs were included from May 2015 to May 2016. The families were mostly in precarious situation (63.3%), and most of parents were unemployed (71.3%). Almost the two third of children and 79.4% of parents were small consumers of FV (less than 3.5 servings per day). Several reasons for non-participation were reported including time constraints, understanding and mistrust issues.ConclusionsThough using facilitating strategies, we recruited fewer participants than expected. The population finally included was mainly made of precarious families with a low consumption of FV. These results highlight the importance of identifying effective facilitating strategies to improve recruitment in disadvantaged populations.Trial registrationClinicalTrial.gov no.

The article deals with crises of transmission in some of Jean Rhys's stories included in Sleep It Off Lady (1976), more specifically 'Pioneers, Oh, Pioneers', 'Fishy Waters', 'Good-bye Marcus, ...Good-bye Rose' and 'Sleep It Off Lady'. Their voiceless characters are discussed through the lens of precariousness, the argument relying on Guillaume Le Blanc's and Judith Butler's essays on precarious lives (Guillaume Le Blanc, Vies ordinaires, vies précaires, 2007; Judith Butler, Precarious Life: The Powers of Mourning and Violence, 2004). I shed light on the correlations between social precariousness, invisibility and linguistic vulnerability which make the transmission of the experience of dispossession precarious itself. The stories stage ghostly, invisible characters who cannot give an account of themselves but who, on the other hand, are held accountable by society. This oppressive type of accountability based on punishment or revenge contributes something to the crisis of transmission to which Jean Rhys's fiction obsessively returns. Caught within this coercive system of accountability, the precarious self remains untransmissible, while the stories bear witness to the processes which obstruct voice, and tell tales of precariousness.
The aim of the present article is to compare the family functionality, mental health and job insecurity of employees of the hospitality industry in Puerto Vallarta and Bahía de Banderas, in México. ...This is a quantitative and cross-sectional study. The sample was selected by non-probabilistic sampling for convenience and comprised a total of 914 people, of whom 438 were women (47.92%) and 476 were men (52.08%). The women surveyed reported more somatic symptoms, anxiety, insomnia and social dysfunction compared to men, which allows the conclusion that their mental health is vulnerable; meanwhile, men showed better perception of family functionality, a positive factor that reveals the family as a potential support factor that reduces stress, anxiety and improves men’s mental health. Another result reveals that the gender structure permeates the hotel sector, inequalities in the type of contract and income are corroborated, and the existence of a sexual division of labor to the detriment of women is confirmed, as they are mostly employed in low-skilled jobs that reproduce domestic tasks, particularly those related to cleaning and food service tasks.
Abstract : Japanese working class women’s relationship to work during the 1920s – characterised by the ambivalence of their search for freedom and the anxiety caused by their situation – continues to ...spark fruitful thinking, particularly given the recent rise of precariousness and even poverty in Japan, particularly for women. Exploring what work represented for Japanese women in the 1920s, the article begins with historical elements relating to gender and labour issues, such as they were first formulated in the early 20th century. It goes on to focus more specifically on Japanese women’s work expectations at the time, based on the writings of Hayashi Fumiko, a pioneer of female emancipation. Fumiko’s accounts – unique at the time – offer clues about the role that women played in that society while casting a new light on the historical dynamics that would ultimately lead to partial emancipation, especially of women from poorer backgrounds.
