Misogyny and gender violence are the result of social and cultural predetermination of gender roles. Indeed, eradicating role prescriptions is a real revolutionary action which implies escaping from male and masculinity hegemony and rethinking male identities. It is therefore crucial to create pathways of democratization of gender that aim to create real paths of equality between genders abandoning the social predetermination of gender roles. This challenge has become the goal of some social promotion associations which try to break down gender-based violence and the stigma attached to it. The chapter aims to investigate how these associations operate to democratize gender through a content analysis of messages posted on their respective Facebook pages. The unit of analysis of the study is constituted by the last 200 posts produced in these two Facebook pages for a total of 400 posts analyzed. Findings identify renewed spaces of masculinity (for example fatherhood) not adhering to the main stereotypes.

The article examines the development of bilingualism in the Republics of Southern Siberia. Its social context is formed under the influence of both extralinguistic factors and the language hierarchy in the form of vertical bilingualism. According to the latest sociolinguistic surveys, bilingualism is the norm for indigenous peoples – Altaians, Tuvans and Khakass – and their language behavior is determined by a strong instrumental and integrative motivation for using Russian as a language of social promotion. The increase of the subtractive type of bilingualism has resulted in the exclusive use of Russian not only in the external, but also in the internal circle of communication with the highest rates in the Republic of Khakassia (about 60 and 30%, respectively). A pragmatic attitude influences the language behavior: the more indigenous respondents declare their fluency in Russian, the fewer of them speak their native language. At the same time, the languages of the titular peoples retain a high symbolic status, expressed in recognition of native languages and in willingness to contribute to their support and promotion

Précis Le comte de Montlosier a laissé 386 lettres adressées à Claude-Ignace de Barante et à son fils Prosper entre son retour d’émigration en 1801 et sa mort en 1838. Cette correspondance, qui excède la communication épistolaire duelle pour étendre ses ramifications jusqu’à Coppet, Rome, Londres et Berlin, est pour l’épistolier un instrument d'intégration dans la France postrévolutionnaire, et pour l'historien un observatoire privilégié des mécanismes à l’œuvre dans ce processus. Les réseaux amicaux épistolaires tissés créent des espaces de communication hybrides, mêlant intimité, promotion sociale, et information. Entre Ancien Régime et modernité postrévolutionnaire, les lettres sont ainsi destinées à lutter contre la fragmentation du temps. The Comte de Montlosier left 386 letters addressed to Claude-Ignace de Barante and his son Prosper between his return from emigration in 1801 and his death in 1838. The two-way exchange extended Montlosier's networks in multiple directions—to Coppet, Rome, London, and Berlin—and it became for its author an instrument of integration into postrevolutionary France. For the historian it is a vantage point from which to observe the mechanisms at work in the transition from Revolution to Restoration. These networks created spaces of hybrid communication mixing intimacy, social promotion, and news. Between Old Regime and postrevolutionary modernity, Montlosier's letters fought against the fragmentation of time.

On the island of La Palma, the surname De las Casas is an example of a bourgeoisie that has evolved, over three generations, from rustic and tenant farmers of the island’s oligarchy, in the second half of the 18th century, to urban, commercial and dedicated to the liberal professions in the 19th century. This article is based on the «Antonino Pestana Rodríguez» documentary collection (El Museo Canario) to study some aspects of the social and private life of the lawyer Antonio de las Casas López and his family in the mid-nineteenth century. The result is a behavior of the bourgeois characterized by the coexistence, in matters such as the path to marriage, social promotion and family honour, of modern mental attitudes together with other typical attitudes of the Old Regime society

Aunque privadas de libertad al nacer, muchas mujeres libertas buscaron adquirir posiciones destacadas en sus comunidades y acceder a ambientes sociales influyentes, para lo cual poseer una elevada capacidad económica fue sustancial. Muchas invirtieron su patrimonio en la dedicación honorífica, lo cual preservaba su memoria cívica y les reportaba enorme prestigio y honor. La epigrafía de Tarraco testimonia una veintena de mujeres de ascendencia servil que emplearon la conmemoración honorífica en monumentos lapídeos de prestigio para recordar a sus parientes, amigos o patrones. Así, el presente texto se focaliza en estas libertas a través de sus inscripciones, desde una óptica social y de género. Para ello, se ha realizado un estudio onomástico y prosopográfico de cada una de las protagonistas, así como de los soportes epigráficos empleados y el lugar de localización de los mismos, con el fin de establecer las líneas comunes de su actuación.AbstractAlthough deprived from freedom at birth, many freedwomen sought nevertheless to acquire prominent positions in their communities and access influential social environments, for which having a high economic capacity was key. Many of them invested their wealth in honorary dedication, which preserved their civic memory and brought them enormous prestige and honor. The epigraphy from Tarraco documents around twenty cases of women of servile descent who used honorary commemoration in prestigious stone monuments to remember their relatives, friends or patrons. Thus, this text focuses on these freedwomen through their inscriptions, from a social and gender perspective. To this end, an onomastic and prosopographic study has been carried out of each of the protagonists, as well as of the epigraphic supports and their location, in order to establish the common lines of their action.

Trafficking is a form of transnational crime that involves the illicit movement of goods and people around the world. Such global criminal markets take a variety of forms, and this book reviews six of them: trafficking in drugs, humans, wildlife, diamonds, arms, and antiquities. While there is a healthy literature on many of these types of trafficking, there is relatively little written that systematically compares and contrasts them. In doing that, this book allows us to lift the viewpoint above the details of each individual type of trafficking, to think theoretically about what they have in common. The book therefore serves two purposes. First, it is a primer and review of the main points of what we currently know about how each trafficking market works: who the traffickers are, what routines and structures are involved, what harm is caused, and the main types of regulation and control that attempt to constrain trafficking. Second, the text sets out a social theory of transnational markets, constituted and illustrated throughout by the empirical data reviewed. That theory ties the criminal practices of traffickers into the wider social promotion of a business-like mindset. This allows individuals and groups to compartmentalise the emotional and moral implications of illegal entrepreneurial profit generation, so that harmful action is seen as ‘just business’. As such, trafficking is rationalised by participants as comparable to the perceived amoral economic calculations of conventional business.
