Interconnecting Race and Gender Relations: Racism, Sexism and the Attribution of Sexism to the Racialized Other

This article analyzes the way that attitudes about gender and race relations are interconnected. Based on a survey study conducted in Switzerland with a sample of 273 Swiss nationals (125 men and 148 women), it shows that the attribution of a higher level of sexism to "racialized Others” than to Swiss individuals is a racist process resulting in the justification and naturalization of the ordinary Swiss sexism seen in the gendered division of labor. However, this study also shows that the attribution of a higher level of sexism to the Other can be countered by simultaneously adopting both feminist and non-racist attitude

Games Where You Can Play Optimally with Arena-Independent Finite Memory

For decades, two-player (antagonistic) games on graphs have been a framework of choice for many important problems in theoretical computer science. A notorious one is controller synthesis, which can be rephrased through the game-theoretic metaphor as the quest for a winning strategy of the system in a game against its antagonistic environment. Depending on the specification, optimal strategies might be simple or quite complex, for example having to use (possibly infinite) memory. Hence, research strives to understand which settings allow for simple strategies. In 2005, Gimbert and Zielonka provided a complete characterization of preference relations (a formal framework to model specifications and game objectives) that admit memoryless optimal strategies for both players. In the last fifteen years however, practical applications have driven the community toward games with complex or multiple objectives, where memory -- finite or infinite -- is almost always required. Despite much effort, the exact frontiers of the class of preference relations that admit finite-memory optimal strategies still elude us. In this work, we establish a complete characterization of preference relations that admit optimal strategies using arena-independent finite memory, generalizing the work of Gimbert and Zielonka to the finite-memory case. We also prove an equivalent to their celebrated corollary of great practical interest: if both players have optimal (arena-independent-)finite-memory strategies in all one-player games, then it is also the case in all two-player games. Finally, we pinpoint the boundaries of our results with regard to the literature: our work completely covers the case of arena-independent memory (e.g., multiple parity objectives, lower- and upper-bounded energy objectives), and paves the way to the arena-dependent case (e.g., multiple lower-bounded energy objectives).Comment: Updated title, full version of CONCUR 2020 conference pape

Regards sur les paradigmes féministes en recherche

Huit spécialistes ont accepté de répondre à trois questions sur l’émergence, la variété et l’avenir des paradigmes féministes en recherche. Ces personnes viennent d’universités différentes, de disciplines différentes et font aussi partie de générations différentes.Cette discussion n’a pas vraiment eu lieu, et c’est pourquoi elle est qualifiée de « virtuelle ». Toutefois, un échange a pu être constitué avec les réponses reçues. Il témoigne d’opinions contrastées, allant de l’optimisme au pessimisme, au sujet de l’influence des paradigmes féministes sur l’ensemble de la recherche universitaire.Eight professors were invited to answer three questions on the apparition, the variety and the future of feminist paradigms in research. They come from different universities, different disciplines and different generations. This discussion is called "virtual", because the participants have never met. The dialogue presented has been fabricated with the answers received. It reveals contrasted opinions, from optimism to pessimism, about the influence of feminist paradigms on the whole of learned research

Editar y publicar en una revista universitaria: el caso de la Revista de historia americana y argentina de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (1956-2022)

En las últimas décadas, los sistemas de evaluación científicos han privilegiado la publicación de artículos en revistas indexadas en bases de datos internacionales y regionales. Esta tendencia generó una multiplicación de revistas científicas de CSyH, que cuentan para su sostenimiento con el apoyo institucional de universidades públicas. A su vez, implicó un desafío de adaptación y actualización en la gestión editorial para aquellas revistas con cierta tradición disciplinar que intentaban insertarse en esos nuevos circuitos académicos. En función de ese contexto, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar la trayectoria de la Revista de historia americana y argentina de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, con vistas a identificar cambios y continuidades en su gestión editorial, orientaciones temáticas y las filiaciones institucionales de sus autores. El análisis demostró que la publicación fue espacio de difusión de las investigaciones de los docentes de la casa de estudios para luego, romper esa tendencia y propiciar la participación de autores de otras instituciones, nacionales y, recientemente, extranjeras. A su vez, las temáticas publicadas dan cuenta de debates y discusiones en la historiografía regional y nacional
