Social Divide

Abstract We present a theory of identity politics that builds on two ideas. First, when policy conflict renders a certain social divide—economic or cultural—salient, a voter identifies with her economic or cultural group. Second, the voter slants her beliefs toward the stereotype of the group she identifies with. We obtain three implications. First, voters’ beliefs are polarized along the distinctive features of salient groups. Second, if the salience of cultural policies increases, cultural conflict rises, redistributive conflict falls, and polarization becomes more correlated across issues. Third, economic shocks hurting conservative voters may trigger a switch to cultural identity, causing these voters to demand less redistribution. We discuss U.S. survey evidence in light of these implications.

This article focuses on the writer Myriam Harry, who put the East at the heart of her literary production. As an exceptional case among travellers of her time, Harry blended different cultural universes in her books, which is particularly true of D’Autres îles de volupté where Swahili, European and Arab cultures rub shoulders. The analysis centres around the author’s systems of enunciation, revealing a contradictory position in terms of cultural identity, but also regarding the ways in which the writer tries to situate herself within the orientalist literary field.

Los Grupos

Este artículo se ocupa de la tradición oral de los "Sumo" indios, uno de los grupos que habitan la costa atlántica de Honduras y Nicaragua, también conocido como "Mosquitia".Las historias analizadas (36) son principalmente narraciones aunque hay algunas descripciones y explicaciones. De acuerdo con el momento en el que se establece la narración, estas historias se clasifican en tres grupos: los mitos, leyendas y cuentos. Los temas de las historias son variadas, aunque los elementos míticos prevalecen. Mitos y leyendas parecen tener temas nativos, mientras que los cuentos revelan un origen extranjero.Los ejemplos de cada grupo de narraciones permiten apreciar la riqueza y variedad de la tradición oral de un grupo étnico que, a pesar de su pequeño tamaño y del enorme proceso de aculturación que ha sufrido, ha conseguido sorprendentemente mantener su identidad cultural. This article deals with the oral tradition of the "Sumo" indians, one of the groups which inhabits the Atlantic coast of Honduras and Nicaragua, also known as "Mosquitia."The stories analyzed (36) are mainly narrations although there are some descriptions and explanations. According to the time in which the narration is set, these stories are classified into three groups: myths, legends, and tales. The themes of the stories are varied though the mythic elements prevail. Myths and legends seem to have native themes, while the tales reveal a foreign origin.The examples from each group of narrations make it possible to appreciate the richness and variety of the oral tradition of an ethnic group that, in spite of its small size and of the enormous aculturation process it has undergone, has amazingly managed to keep its cultural identity.

News Recommendation

Nowadays, news recommendation has become a popular channel for users to access news of their interests. How to represent rich textual contents of news and precisely match users' interests and candidate news lies in the core of news recommendation. However, existing recommendation methods merely learn textual representations from in-domain news data, which limits their generalization ability to new news that are common in cold-start scenarios. Meanwhile, many of these methods represent each user by aggregating the historically browsed news into a single vector and then compute the matching score with the candidate news vector, which may lose the low-level matching signals. In this paper, we explore the use of the successful BERT pre-training technique in NLP for news recommendation and propose a BERT-based user-news matching model, called UNBERT. In contrast to existing research, our UNBERT model not only leverages the pre-trained model with rich language knowledge to enhance textual representation, but also captures multi-grained user-news matching signals at both word-level and news-level. Extensive experiments on the Microsoft News Dataset (MIND) demonstrate that our approach constantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.
