Produção e reprodução, casa e trabalho

Based on an analysis of the relation between home and work, and the meaning of this relation for care practices, the article develops a critique of Betty Friedan arguments in the book The feminine mystique, taken as an ironic continuation of the Marxist project of reducing the emancipation of women to getting a job outside the home. Assuming an opposition between care and work, love and money, certain feminists have turned their back on domestic work. However the organized movement of household workers, which campaigns for legal recognition of their work, has underlined the interconnection between social reproduction and production. At the same time, theorists have questioned the work ethic based on a productivist paradigm of social life.Com base na análise da relação entre casa e trabalho, e do significado dessa relação para a prática do cuidado, o artigo desenvolve uma crítica aos argumentos de Betty Friedan no livro A mística feminina, entendido como uma irônica continuidade do projeto marxista de reduzir a emancipação das mulheres à obtenção de um emprego fora de casa. Assumindo uma oposição entre cuidado e trabalho, amor e dinheiro, certas feministas renegaram o trabalho doméstico. Entretanto, o movimento organizado das trabalhadoras em domicílio, que luta pelo reconhecimento legal de seu trabalho, tem sublinhado a interconexão entre reprodução social e produção; ao mesmo tempo, teóricos têm questionado a ética do trabalho assentada num paradigma produtivista da vida social

De las mujeres al género y más allá: las entretejidas trayectorias de la historia de las mujeres y los estudios feministas

En la década de 1980 los Estudios de las mujeres o con perspectiva de género y la historia de las mujeres o con perspectiva de género parecían estar más cercanos de lo que subsiguientemente han devenido. Aquí, me pregunto, ¿pueden los Estudios de las mujeres o con perspectiva de género o feministas ser historizados y puede la historia ser teorizada por la teoría queer y feminista de un modo que ilumine el pasado en sus propios términos y no meramente hable del presente o del futuro? Considero las prácticas de citado y subcampos a la luz de tendencias intelectuales más amplias, especialmente el trabajo del feminismo negro. Al explorar esta pregunta, me vuelvo hacia cómo cada campo piensa acerca del tiempo y el archivo, términos que funcionan como analíticos para iluminar interrogantes sobre poder y autoridad, identidad y agencia, pero desplegados por investigadorxs feministas interdisciplinarixs de formas que no son siempre legibles para historiadorxs tradicionales. Concluyo tanto con finales de reconciliación y alternativa a la luz de los ataques sobre ambos campos.In the 1980s Women’s/Gender/Studies and Women’s/Gender/History seemed closer to each other than they subsequently have become. Here I ask, Can Women’s/Gender/Feminist Studies be historicized and can history be theorized by queer and feminist theory in ways that illuminates the past on its own terms and not merely speak to the present or the future? I consider citational practices and subfields in light of larger intellectual trends, especially work in Black feminism. Exploring this question, I turn to how each field thinks about time and the archive, terms that function as analytics to illuminate questions of power and authority, identity and agency, but deployed by interdisciplinary feminist scholars in ways not always legible to traditional historians. I end with both reconciliation and alternative endings in light of attacks on both fields

The Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

This paper describes the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), marking the completion of the original goals of the SDSS and the end of the phase known as SDSS-II. It includes 11663 deg^2 of imaging data, with most of the roughly 2000 deg^2 increment over the previous data release lying in regions of low Galactic latitude. The catalog contains five-band photometry for 357 million distinct objects. The survey also includes repeat photometry over 250 deg^2 along the Celestial Equator in the Southern Galactic Cap. A coaddition of these data goes roughly two magnitudes fainter than the main survey. The spectroscopy is now complete over a contiguous area of 7500 deg^2 in the Northern Galactic Cap, closing the gap that was present in previous data releases. There are over 1.6 million spectra in total, including 930,000 galaxies, 120,000 quasars, and 460,000 stars. The data release includes improved stellar photometry at low Galactic latitude. The astrometry has all been recalibrated with the second version of the USNO CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC-2), reducing the rms statistical errors at the bright end to 45 milli-arcseconds per coordinate. A systematic error in bright galaxy photometr is less severe than previously reported for the majority of galaxies. Finally, we describe a series of improvements to the spectroscopic reductions, including better flat-fielding and improved wavelength calibration at the blue end, better processing of objects with extremely strong narrow emission lines, and an improved determination of stellar metallicities.

The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment: Exploring Fundamental Symmetries of the Universe

The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early Universe, the dynamics of the supernova bursts that produced the heavy elements necessary for life and whether protons eventually decay --- these mysteries at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early evolution of our Universe, its current state and its eventual fate. The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) represents an extensively developed plan for a world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions. LBNE is conceived around three central components: (1) a new, high-intensity neutrino source generated from a megawatt-class proton accelerator at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, (2) a near neutrino detector just downstream of the source, and (3) a massive liquid argon time-projection chamber deployed as a far detector deep underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. This facility, located at the site of the former Homestake Mine in Lead, South Dakota, is approximately 1,300 km from the neutrino source at Fermilab -- a distance (baseline) that delivers optimal sensitivity to neutrino charge-parity symmetry violation and mass ordering effects. This ambitious yet cost-effective design incorporates scalability and flexibility and can accommodate a variety of upgrades and contributions. With its exceptional combination of experimental configuration, technical capabilities, and potential for transformative discoveries, LBNE promises to be a vital facility for the field of particle physics worldwide, providing physicists from around the globe with opportunities to collaborate in a twenty to thirty year program of exciting science. In this document we provide a comprehensive overview of LBNE's scientific objectives, its place in the landscape of neutrino physics worldwide, the technologies it will incorporate and the capabilities it will possess.Comment: Major update of previous version. This is the reference document for LBNE science program and current status. Chapters 1, 3, and 9 provide a comprehensive overview of LBNE's scientific objectives, its place in the landscape of neutrino physics worldwide, the technologies it will incorporate and the capabilities it will possess. 288 pages, 116 figure
