This article contributes to the research on the expansion of the Swedish post-war road network by illuminating the role of tourism in addition to political and industrial agendas. Specifically, it examines the “conceptual construction” of the Blue Highway, which currently stretches from the Atlantic Coast of Norway, traverses through Sweden and Finland, and enters into Russia. The focus is on Swedish governmental reports and national press between the 1950s and the 1970s. The article identifies three overlapping meanings attached to the Blue Highway: a political agenda of improving the relationships between the Nordic countries, industrial interests, and tourism. Political ambitions of Nordic community building were clearly pronounced at the onset of the project. Industrial actors depended on the road for the building of power plants and dams. The road became gradually more connected with the view of tourism as the motor of regional development.

Abstract This literature review discusses how the concept ofegalitarian parental careis constructed as a representation of the new dynamic in parents/children relations in the contemporary world. To achieve this goal, it retrieves national and international scientific publications in the last five years and focus, as a matter of priority, on the psychological perspective. Results were presented according to data distribution between areas of knowledge, methods, international and national occurrence. Analysis was based on the following categories: assumptions for an ideal egalitarian family, contemporary parenting, parenting versus work versus professional career, and egalitarian parental care. Conclusion shows that egalitarian parental care is a trend in contemporary parenthood construction and demand further investigation in diverse contexts.

A definition can be seen as a central working tool for researchers, since it leads to a new conceptual construction. At the same time a multitude of definitions, especially if competing with each other, is quite often perceived as a typical symptom of fields of research that have not yet developed their theories to the necessary level of sophistication. A relatively young field of research, Translation Studies and its proponents have repeatedly been the target of criticism in that respect, i.e. working with concepts whose definitions do not comply with commonly accepted standards of definition. That kind of critique serves as the starting point for this paper, which tries to analyze definitions in two seminal publications in the history of German Übersetzungswissenschaft, representing two opposing approaches to translation, namely Zufall und Gesetzmäßigkeit in der Übersetzung by Otto Kade (1968) and Grundlegung einer allgemeinen Translationstheorie by Hans J. Vermeer and Katharina Reiß (1984). The paper gives an account of standards of definition, commonly found in philosophy of science and terminology, addresses central aspects of scientific concepts (theoryboundness, types of concepts, determinacy, vagueness) and presents the findings of a study focusing on defining patterns.

Feminists from a range of disciplines and perspectives theorized the basic androcentric bias in neoliberal (or neoclassical) economic theory. This chapter analyzes the market as a gendered spatial and conceptual construction and shows how marketization—the encroachment of the market upon noneconomic spheres—involves gendered practices that are embedded in and constitutive of, and transformative of unequal power relations of gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, age, national origin, and geopolitical locations. It traces how neoliberal global restructuring has affected women’s participation in productive, reproductive, and virtual economies, including agribusiness, industrial production, the service sector, transnational care work, and sex work, and in the area of affective labor. And it demonstrates how the financialization of noneconomic spheres of the global economy insert women from the global North and the global South into the global financial sector through microfinancing schemes, which subject them to the disciplinary and regulatory power of global finance.

Authentic Selfhood in the Philosophy of Proclus: Rational Soul and its Significance for the Individual

This article presents a synoptic account of the faculties of rational soul in the philosophy of Proclus and an interpretation of the unity which this soul constitutes despite the plurality of its faculties and objects of its attentions. It seeks to demonstrate that Proclus, through his conceptual construction of a rational soul grounded in an objective and cosmic framework, accounts for at least some of the subjective aspects of selfhood which many contemporary philosophical theories take to be necessary for a concept of self, but that he does so on his own terms. This means, among other things, that Proclus posits each rational soul as a subjective entity with its own perspective on the world, but a perspective which is always grounded, more or less, in an objective knowledge of the world which belongs to it essentially and eternally. Despite grounding the subjective in the objective, Proclus is able to account for the individuality and uniqueness of souls within the limits of his objective framework.

When we think of mathematics we feel we are facing a kind of universal knowledge that brings us closer to the truth. Transcendence is the space where we place this kind of objectification of mathematics. However, criticism of this type of hegemonic mathematics has been growing in recent years. In the face of hegemony and criticism, the objective of this article is to analyze internationalization of the curriculum (IoC) as the plane of immanence, and the process of conceptual construction in the field of philosophy. On these bases which in some ways represent the background that supports the critique of hegemonic mathematics, we can think of other possibilities that we call intermathematics. As an essay text, it follows theoretical contribution: BACHELARD (2008), BICUDO (1993), CANDAU (2002), DELEUZE (2000), DELEUZE (1996), FOUCAULT (2013), LEASK (20015), LUNA (2016), SANTOS (2002), SILVA (2010). To achieve the general objective, we divide the analysis into three parts. First, we approach the relationship between IoC and the immanence plan in the field of mathematics education. In a second moment, we discuss the idea of the plane of immanence and the IoC. Finally, we articulate methodological aspects, the plane of immanence and the conceptual construction process in an attempt to construct intermathematic possibilities. In this movement, we emphasize not only criticism of hegemonic mathematics, but also we indicate the ways of thinking mathematics in immanence through geo-mathematics, ethnomathematics and intermathematics.

Diachronic Analysis

En un ejercicio absoluto de abstracción, la sociología contemporánea y los estudios vinculados de otras disciplinas han sido capaces de teorizar sobre las “colisiones” o conflictus de un conjunto de individuos configurados en societas. No obstante, una generalización de grado semejante podría parecer verdaderamente ajena a la lengua latina tanto en el período clásico como en el posclásico y tardío. Inmersos en esta problemática, el presente artículo persigue dilucidar la existencia de una construcción conceptual que se corresponda con la idea actual de “conflicto social” mediante un análisis diacrónico de las fuentes literarias desde el “siglo de oro” hasta la tardo-antigüedad.  Contemporary Sociology and related studies of other disciplines have been able to theorize, through an absolute exercise of abstraction, about the "collisions" or conflictus of a set of individuals configured in societas. However, a generalization of a similar degree might seem truly strange to the Latin language in the classical, postclassical and later periods. Immersed in this problem, this paper seeks to elucidate the existence of a conceptual construction that corresponds to the current idea of "social conflict" through a diachronic analysis of literary sources from the "Golden age" to the Late Antiquity.

Also inherent to the art is social side, which in essence connects the artist and society into a dynamic interaction. This text includes interpretation of the inherent to social psychology concepts of conformism and anti-conformism, following the lines of Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin for art as a public antithesis. Draw up a definition of anti-conformist art, based on conflict caused by the resistance against the conformist pressure of the majority.
