    2 Golden rats and sick empires: portraying medicine, poverty, and the bubonic plague in La Peste
    (Manchester University Press, 2022) Ragas Rojas, José Frank; Palma Maturana, Patricia Nataly; González Donoso, Guillermo Adrián
    With a ten-million-euro budget and 400 extras on set, La Peste (The Plague) – a ten-episode TV show produced by Spanish communication conglomerate Movistar and aired in January 2018 – became not only the most ambitious production in Spanish television history but also an overnight sensation among viewers and critics. This chapter examines how La Peste combines historical accuracy and fiction to portray the role of medicine, health agents, and population around a late sixteenth-century epidemic outbreak. Its release coincided with the centennial of the Spanish flu that killed twenty to fifty million people around the globe. In placing the epidemic at the core of the narrative, the show unveils the multiple yet contradictory ways people from various social groups and backgrounds reacted to the pandemic: either to save their own lives, procure a cure for others, or to take advantage of the crisis. The chapter highlights what makes La Peste a relevant case to study. As part of its marketing campaign, the production team deliberately sought to trespass the screen and insert the narrative into people’s daily lives. This team designed in advance of the TV series an interactive website with digital resources on the history of medicine and historical sites. Furthermore, in the days prior to the launch, several golden rats appeared in the streets of Seville to announce the show. While some viewers expressed their discomfort with the crude scenes depicting poor living conditions, others engaged with the campaign. As a result of this, La Peste constitutes a fascinating example of the possibilities offered by TV shows as vehicles for disseminating historical medical knowledge to a vast audience.

    A Latin Spring? Examining digital diffusion and youth bulges in forecasting political change in Latin America
    (Routledge, 2014) Bachmann C., Ingrid; Groshek, Jacob; Brewer, Anita; Welp, Yanina
    The story is quite different in the countries that experienced the Arab Spring, where autocratic governments were still the rule in the twenty-first century. Arguably, shifts in democratic countries would be more likely to be measured rather than major revolutions like the ones that ended up ousting Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and Ben Ali in Tunisia. Conventional wisdom suggests that mass media and media diffusion are important for public deliberation, and play an important role fostering and maintaining democracy and stable societies. Research from political science and mass communication stresses the democratizing role of media. Indeed, in the last decades both neoliberal economics and populist politics have coexisted in several Latin American countries, for both left- and right-leaning governments. On the whole, the region has gone through overall economic stabilization, although political conflicts related to poorly distributed income, high unemployment, and lack of opportunities for young and indigenous people persist in most of the countries.

    A Network Approach to the Formation of Self-assembled Teams
    (2020) Ichhaporia, R.; Gomez Zara, Diego Alonso; DeChurch, L.; Contractor, N.
    Which individuals in a network make the most appealing teammates? Which invitations are most likely to be accepted? And which are most likely to be rejected? This study explores the factors that are most likely to explain the selection, acceptance, and rejection of invitations in self-assembling teams. We conducted a field study with 780 participants using an online platform that enables people to form teams. Participants completed an initial survey assessing traits, relationships, and skills. Next, they searched for and invited others to join a team. Recipients could then accept, reject, or ignore invitations. Using Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGMs), we studied how traits and social networks influence teammate choices. Our results demonstrated that (a) agreeable leaders with high psychological collectivism send invitations most frequently, (b) previous collaborators, leaders, competent workers, females, and younger individuals receive the most invitations, and (c) rejections are concentrated in the hands of a few. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    A School Effectiveness Approach to Good Citizenship
    (Springer, Cham, 2021) Treviño Villarreal, Juan Ernesto; Carrasco Ogaz, Diego; López Hornickel, Natalia Verónica; Zúñiga, Carmen Gloria
    Schools are traditionally considered agents of political socialization. However, the school’s capacity to promote citizenry among students is often considered limited, in comparison to the expected influence of the socioeconomic background of students’ families. Using data from IEA’s International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS), this chapter inquires if schools’ differences are related to students’ citizenship norms endorsement, focusing on the relationship between civic learning opportunities and open classroom discussion of schools on promoting citizenship norms endorsement among students. To this end, a multilevel multinomial base category logit model is used, including students’ and schools’ characteristics specifying citizenship norms profiles as the dependent variable. Citizenship norms profiles is a nominal variable, that summarize the way students endorse 12 different citizenship norms, across countries. Results suggest that schools explain a non-ignorable portion of the variance of students’ citizenship norms endorsement. Additionally, civic learning opportunities and open classroom discussion are school practices that promote a comprehensive endorsement of citizenship norms, above students’ socioeconomic background, and students’ civic background across countries. Implications for civic education are discussed.

    A structured methodology for improving the owner-contractor relationship in construction projects
    (Routledge. Taylor & Francis LTD, 1999) Serpell Bley, Alfredo
    Given the complexity of the relationship between owners and contractors in construction projects, research work has been carried out to identify mechanisms to facilitate the understanding between these parts. Based on the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) approach, an exploratory study on the form of rationalising this relationship has been conducted and its preliminary results are presented in this paper. Within this research effort, a model that puts emphasis in the factors that, depending on the type of contract, can improve the performance of the project has been developed. This model helps to structure a set of information through a matrix scheme that allows the weighting of each relevant characteristic of the commercial relationship between the client and the contractor with the purpose of prioritising between them. The scheme uses a cross-impact approach and provides a sequential methodology that conditions the achievement of the owner's objectives to the actions of the contractor and to his own key contract management elements that influence the contractor's behaviour. It is proposed here that this methodology could constitute a useful decision tool for the owner when developing and executing a construction project.

    A Woman Artist in the Neoliberal Chilean Jungle
    (Palgrave Macmillan, London, 2017) Contreras Lorenzini, María José; Diamond, Elin; Varney, Denise; Amich, Candice
    One of the perdurable effects of Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile is that adherence to Friedman’s and von Hayek’s neoliberal ideas of freedom, based on free markets and the withdrawal of state public-sector services, has been upheld by postdictatorship governments that have maintained and even radicalized neoliberalism by, in part, denying the atrocities committed by the Pinochet regime. As a theatre director and performer, María José Contreras Lorenzini challenges the government’s rhetoric of reconciliation and consequent amnesia by exposing forgotten documents in the historical record: testimonies, autobiographical stories, familial archives. Her performance Habeas Corpus, at the Palacio de Tribunales de Santiago, transforms an emblematic juridical enclave into an intersubjective, intercorporeal space, allowing spectators, through the circulation of affective memory, to recover political awareness and agency

    Accesibilidad desde la perspectiva de la edad: personas mayores, movilidad y espacios públicos
    (Ril Editores, 2024) Vecchio, Giovanni; Ladron De Guevara González, Felipe Andres; Colección de Libros Estudios Urbanos UC; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de Arquitectura, Diseño y Estudios Urbanos
    Este libro analiza a fondo el concepto de accesibilidad, al centro de un cambio de paradigma en la planificación urbana y de la movilidad. Desde América Latina, el libro aborda las dimensiones sociales, medioambientales y espaciales relacionadas con la movilidad y su significado para la vida cotidiana de las personas, mostrando la importancia de planificar para la accesibilidad frente a los desafíos de ciudades y territorios desiguales. Organizado en cuatro partes, el texto amplía las miradas académicas y profesionales sobre la accesibilidad con una perspectiva propia del Sur Global, explorando la interseccionalidad del concepto, su relación con el entorno construido, los bienes comunes y la ciudad de las oportunidades. El libro ofrece así una perspectiva interdisciplinaria basada en el trabajo de científicos chilenos activos en territorios diversos, aspirando a ser una introducción a la accesibilidad como base que fundamente el desarrollo de soluciones inclusivas para territorios más sostenibles, justos y resilientes, permitiendo comprender y mejorar la calidad de vida en las ciudades chilenas y latinoamericanas.
