2014's Activity
Some colleagues and I got published an article in a 2Q JCR journal, the Qualitative Inquiry.
Pulido, C., Elboj, C., Campdepadrós, R., & Cabré, J. (2014). Exclusionary and transformative dimensions: Communicative analysisenhancing solidarity among women to overcome gender violence. Qualitative Inquiry, 20(7), 889-894. ISSN: 1552-7565. Indexed at JCR: 2 quartil Social Sciences. Impact Factor: 0,738.
Abstract:
Rivalry and lack of solidarity among women, which exist in the social imaginary and are also reproduced in some research, are linked to the perpetuation of gender violence. The analysis of qualitative data collection in research on gender violence is essential to prevent the reproduction of stereotypes and to induce transformation through research. This article is focused on the communicative analysis, which identifies for each category analyzed an exclusionary dimension (that promotes gender violence) and a transformative one (that contributes to preventive socialization of gender violence). Although in our studies we identify rivalry among women as an element of the exclusionary dimension, at the same time, we identify solidarity among women as an element of the transformative dimension. This solidarity breaks with stereotypes of “natural” female rivalry and stands out as one key element to overcome gender violence.
Some colleagues and I got accepted two oral communications at the XVIII World Congress of Sociology, organized by International Sociological Association, that will be held next 13th-19th of July in Yokohama, Japan.
. RC32 –Women in Society, Session: Thinking Gender on a World Scale: Prioritising Feminist Theory from the South. Contribution: New Alternative Masculinities Against Gender Violence (jointly with Lidia Puigvert -University of Barcelona, Roger Campdepadrós).
Abstract: This paper presents a South's contribution to overcoming gender violence. Recent scientific evidence about the perpetuation of the traditional heterosexual model of masculinity upon gender violence shows that 1) there are in the history many examples of men that have fight together with feminist women for the eradication of gender violence; and 2) often and according to an existing socialization to be egalitarian do not promotes a desirable image (in terms of sexual attraction). It stands out the differentiation between three types of masculinities: Dominant Traditional Masculinities (DTM), Oppressed Traditional Masculinities (OTM), and New Alternative Masculinities (NAM). DTM and OTM contribute to perpetuate violence against women, while NAM allows preventing it and, thus, overcoming it (Flecha, Puigvert, Rios, 2013).
. RC02 – Economyand Society, Session: Solidarity Economy Alternatives: Vision, Practice, and Theory. Contribution: Transferability of Successful Cooperativist Actions: The Case of Albacete's Cooperatives (jointly with Ana Vidu, University of Barcelona).
Abstract: The Integrated Project INCLUD-ED (FP6 of the European Commission) identified Successful Actions (SAs) in diverse social domains. In the field of employment, the successful case of the cooperatives of Mondragon in the Basque Country was analyzed. The Mondragon Corporation (MC) has proven to be a non-capitalist alternative to the traditional organizational and governance models of capitalist firms, combining democratic principles, values of solidarity and strong competitiveness that allow it to achieve both efficiency and equity. In this organization, five successful cooperativist actions (SCAs) were identified and considered crucial in explaining these accomplishments. In order to analyze the transferability of the SCAs, some of them have been recreated in one of the poorest and most marginalized neighborhoods of Spain: La Estrella and La Milagrosa in Albacete. In 2011, a cooperative was created on the basis of developing the SCAs to provide decent, stable and sustainable employment to people from these neighborhoods. This paper aims to explain the success of the transferability of the latter to the cooperative in La Estrella and La Milagrosa and the ways in which this successful actions approach is contributing to overcome inequalities while contributing to generate alternatives to the capitalism. This work is developed in the framework of the international network of research on cooperativism coordinated by Erik Olin Wright and Ramon Flecha.
Got published a Book Review in Multidisciplinary Journal of Gender Studies, vol 3, num. 1: Do Muslim Women Need Saving? [Review of the Book]. A book by Lila Abu-Lughod.
Got accepted jointly with Cristina Pulido, Carmen Elboj and Joan Cabré an article at the Qualitative Inquiry, a scientific journal indexed 2Q at Journal of Citation Reports (Impact Factor: 0,870): Exclusionary and transformative dimensions: Communicative analysis enhancing solidarity among women to overcome gender violence, in a monograph coordinated by the international recognized feminist author Lidia Puigvert. (Soon will be published, by then I will write the link).

DTM and OTM contribute to perpetuate violence against women, while NAM allows preventing it and, thus, overcoming it (Flecha, Puigvert, Rios, 2013).
This theoretical
contribution was presented for the first time in Barcelona (Spain) in a
conference organized by Homes
en Diàleg (Men in Dialogue),
a men’ organization, based under the context of Dialogic Feminism and which
main objective is to promote and strengthen other models of masculinity based
on equality and dialogue, as an alternative to the named hegemonic masculinity. From the
theoretical perspective of Dialogic Feminism, defined by Puigvert
(Beck-Gersheim, Butler & Puigvert, 2001), and the new conceptualization of
DTM, OTM and NAM, it is possible to contribute to the eradication of gender
violence in different countries. Thus, this paper proposes how this conceptualization
could be transferred to all cultures and contexts and fight gender violence in
a global way.
