Se presentan las consecuencias de este proceso en cambios culturales y sociales en los grupos humanos que allí habitaban.
Habiter l’austérité en Europe du Sud
Authors: Maccaglia Fabrizio , Pfirsch Thomas
Published: October 2024

Ce chapitre envisage les politiques d’austérité à partir des contextes urbains de l’Europe du Sud (Portugal, Espagne, Grèce, Italie) en adoptant un positionnement qui s’attache à regarder ce qu’habiter l’austérité signifie. Si de nombreux travaux ont analysé les nouveaux modes de gouvernance générés par les politiques d’austérité, les manières d’habiter l’austérité et les rapports aux lieux qu’elles produisent restent toutefois peu étudiés. L’austérité place les individus en situation d’ajuster leurs pratiques du quotidien que sont le travail, les loisirs, la consommation ou la vie familiale, de repenser leur existence dans ses dimensions matérielles et ordinaires mais aussi intimes et sensibles, en fonction d’un nouveau compromis social et économique imposé pour répondre à la situation de crise qui modifie structurellement la gestion des villes et la production des politiques urbaines.
Injonctions métropolitaines : grands projets de transformation urbaine et jeux institutionnels
Authors: Armondi Simonetta , D’Orazio Angela , Baron Nacima , Vu Hélène Dang , Montuori Luca , Triantis Loukas
Published: October 2024

Le chapitre analyse la gouvernance des métropoles d’Europe du Sud à travers leurs continuités et leurs ruptures et comment ces villes répondent aux bouleversements – contingents ou systémiques – apparus après la crise des « subprimes ». Des processus intenses de métropolisation et de régionalisation de l’urbain investissent aussi bien les réseaux d’acteurs institutionnels à différents niveaux que les mécanismes du changement spatial. L’accent est ici porté sur les grands projets de développement car ils sont révélateurs d’une dynamique complexe et controversée. En effet, les exemples explorés à Athènes, Madrid, Milan et Rome mettent en évidence un jeu complexe d’acteurs globaux et locaux et l’affirmation d’une approche néolibérale de la planification et des politiques urbaines. Celle-ci conduit à la privatisation des biens et des services et, dans le même temps, à la financiarisation du sol urbain.
La question des périphéries métropolitaines
Authors: Molinari Paolo , Rivière Dominique , Blanco-Romero Asunción , Graziano Teresa , Lelo Keti , Maloutas Thomas , Saadia Sofiane
Published: October 2024

Ce chapitre aborde la façon dont les crises récentes viennent révéler une fragilité particulière des périphéries urbaines d’Europe du Sud et l’ambivalence des politiques menées à leur égard. Dans un premier temps, il aborde la notion de périphérie qui renvoie à l’idée d’inégalités socio-spatiales mais est polysémique. Au‑delà de la diversité des marqueurs morphologiques et sociaux qui peuvent la définir, cette notion peut utilement être abordée à travers celle de vulnérabilité, qui renvoie notamment à l’idée d’une défaillance des politiques publiques. Dans un second temps, le chapitre s’intéresse à l’asymétrie des politiques de régénération urbaine : si les politiques « top‑down » sont moins systématiques et institutionnalisées qu’en Europe du Nord, celles « bottom‑up » sont plus présentes. Des études de cas illustrent ces points à partir des exemples de Rome, Catane, Athènes et Barcelone.
Enjeux culturels métropolitains : entre instrumentalisation et contestation
Authors: Froment Pascale , Salone Carlo , Baudry Sarah , Vu Hélène Dang , Delon Margot , Graziano Teresa , Perrini Enrico
Published: October 2024

Ce chapitre explore la relation complexe entre la culture et les dynamiques urbaines dans les villes d’Europe du Sud, en particulier à la suite de la crise économique de 2007-2008. En examinant le rôle de la culture dans les politiques néolibérales de renouvellement urbain, l’étude se concentre sur l’interaction complexe entre la préservation du patrimoine, les pratiques culturelles alternatives et la résistance auto-organisée. Elle enquête sur l’utilisation ambivalente des concepts d’innovation sociale par les institutions politiques confrontées à des crises récurrentes et analyse les mouvements sociaux mobilisant la culture contre les logiques entrepreneuriales urbaines. Les études de cas de Catane en Sicile et de Porto Fluviale à Rome mettent en lumière les tensions entre la dimension contestataire de la culture et la cooptation des initiatives locales par les pouvoirs établis. Le récit éclaire l’évolution du paysage urbain dans les villes d’Europe du Sud au cours des trois dernières décennies.
Des métropoles-refuges
Authors: Schmoll Camille , Polyzou Iris , Piva Annaelle , Biaggio Cristina del , Lafazani Olga
Published: October 2024

L’immigration de travail qui caractérise l’Europe du Sud depuis les années 1980 est d’abord tournée vers les grandes villes et le secteur tertiaire. Sa diversité, son taux de féminisation important, sa présence dans de nombreux secteurs du marché du travail font qu’elle contribue à modifier durablement la géographie sociale des métropoles. À la fin des années 2000, le paysage migratoire de ces grandes villes sud-européennes connaît de profondes transformations. L’immigration connaît alors un double processus, assez contradictoire par certains aspects. D’un côté, les pays d’Europe méridionale ouvrent leurs portes aux citoyens européens et d’un certain voisinage. De l’autre, ils montrent un visage de plus en plus fermé vis‑à‑vis d’autres groupes. Ce sont les paradoxes d’un modèle migratoire double standard qui filtre et encourage l’installation et la circulation de certains tout en empêchant la venue et la légalisation des autres. En effet, c’est du positionnement des métropoles et des acteurs métropolitains dans ce contexte de crise migratoire qu’il sera question dans ce chapitre.
Analyse de l’évolution spatiotemporelle de la tendance des extrêmes chauds au Sénégal
Authors: Sow Moussa , Gaye Demba , Diakhate Mouhamadou Mawloud
Published: October 2024

La variabilité climatique se manifeste entre autres, à travers des phénomènes climatiques tels que les sécheresses, les canicules, les inondations, les retards pluviométriques et les vagues de chaleur. Ces dernières sont prévues longues, plus fréquentes et plus intenses sur le continent africain et au Sahel en particulier. Dans ce contexte, il apparait important de mener des études sur ces phénomènes, notamment aux échelles nationales, pour mieux appréhender les potentiels impacts sur les populations. Ainsi, la présente recherche analyse les évolutions spatiotemporelles et la tendance des extrêmes chauds (95e percentiles des Tmax et des Tmin) au Sénégal sur la période 1984-2020. Pour atteindre cet objectif, il s’agit d’abord de faire la répartition spatiotemporelle des moyennes des extrêmes chauds (95e percentile des Tmax et des Tmin) de la période, ensuite de déterminer les anomalies du percentile 95e des Tmin et des Tmax à l’aide du test de Lamb. Par la suite, les années de rupture ont été identifiées à l’aide du test de Pettitt et enfin, le test de Mann Kendall a permis de ressortir les tendances du percentile 95e des Tmin et des Tmax de la période 1984-2020. Les données sont des réanalyses climatiques spatialisées et maillées d’une résolution spatiale de 0,5° * 0,625° qui ont conduit aux résultats obtenus qui montrent une augmentation des 95e percentile des Tmax et des Tmin sur l’ensemble des stations de l’étude. Cette hausse est estimée à l’échelle nationale à +0,38°C pour les 95e percentiles des Tmax et à +0,50°C pour les Tmin. Ce qui témoigne d’une croissance plus rapide des 95e des Tmin que des Tmax qui s’accompagnent d’une tendance significative sur la quasi-totalité des 40 stations de cette étude. En termes de prospective à ce travail, il serait important d’analyser les caractéristiques des vagues de chaleur au Sénégal.
Genèse, héritage et actualité de Senghor
Authors: Cagnan Edoardo , Riffard Claire
Published: October 2024

Léopold Sédar Senghor (1906-2001) est l’un des auteurs francophones les plus étudiés, qu’il s’agisse de l’encenser ou de le discréditer. Un groupe de recherche international, rattaché à l’université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar et à l’Institut des textes et manuscrits modernes (CNRS/ENS) à Paris, a été fondé en octobre 2022 pour donner une nouvelle impulsion aux études senghoriennes ; il s’agit de partir des archives pour renouveler les recherches par des documents nouveaux : brouillons poétiques, carnets de chercheur ou correspondances privées. Mais constituer et consulter les archives de Senghor ne signifie pas ériger un mausolée de papier à la gloire du poète-président : le chercheur consulte les sources pour les interroger avec un regard critique. Les articles présentés dans cette introduction reprennent pour l’essentiel les communications prononcées à la journée d’étude Léopold Sédar Senghor : genèse d’une œuvre (27 juin 2024, BnF-Richelieu, Paris) ; un ensemble d’entretiens et de comptes-rendus vient compléter le dossier.
Constituer l’archive dont il fallait me débarrasser
Authors: Kandé Sylvie , François Violaine
Published: October 2024

À travers l’évocation du poète-président dans son parcours tant personnel que poétique, Sylvie Kandé revient sur plusieurs facettes de son écriture, de son rapport à ses sources littéraires entre found poetry et innutrition, au travail et à la portée de sa langue poétique. Cherchant à créer un espace aux limites du langage, son écriture pioche dans les registres et offre des trouvailles lexicales afin de faire entendre, dans un geste (re)créateur, des temporalités éloignées. Écrire, c’est encore pour la poétesse « creuser les cumuls et complexités de toute condition », celle des migrants de tous les siècles et rivages, mais aussi celle des femmes, dont les figures humaines et mythologiques sont abordées dans leur hétérogénéité. En offrant généreusement quelques pages de son carnet rouge, dévoilant le processus complexe de son écriture et ses jeux intertextuels, Sylvie Kandé ouvre une porte sur son univers, où les textes de Senghor résonnent en un lointain écho.
Comme les lamantins, les archivistes remontent à la source
Authors: Delaunay Guillaume
Published: October 2024

Les manuscrits de l’œuvre poétique de Léopold Sédar Senghor arrivent par don à la Bibliothèque nationale de France à la suite de l’exposition qui lui est consacrée dans cette institution fin 1978. On peut s’interroger sur le choix de ces manuscrits, peu nombreux, et sur les volontés qui ont présidé à cette exposition comme à cette volonté de don. C’est donc la genèse de cette exposition tout à fait à part que cet article examine.
Étude génétique d’« Élégie pour la reine de Saba »
Authors: Ba Mamadou , Riffard Claire
Published: October 2024

À partir des manuscrits de la célèbre « Élégie pour la reine de Saba » conservés à la Bibliothèque nationale de France, cette étude propose une approche génétique du poème pour éclairer, au cœur des enjeux et significations du texte, le processus créatif de Senghor. L’examen des modifications observées d’une version à l’autre permet de surprendre sur le vif, en chacun de ses gestes, l’art du poète. L’atelier du texte dévoile une dynamique de tissage vivace des sons, des sons et des couleurs, en un entrelacement de fils où s’expose, dans sa singularité, le mouvement créateur.
« Épitaphe » de Senghor
Authors: Diaw Alioune
Published: October 2024

« Épitaphe » de Léopold Sédar Senghor est un poème dans lequel il envisage sa propre mort et s’adresse à ses amis et à sa Signare. Ce n’est pas le seul que le poète ait écrit sur le sujet. Il existe au moins un autre texte intitulé « Quand je serai mort », dont il est difficile de savoir s’il est composé avant ou après celui intitulé « Épitaphe ». Cette étude porte essentiellement sur ce dernier, que nous pensons être antérieur. D’une part, l’analyse génétique que nous proposons montre la complexité de l’écriture poétique de Senghor, qui se révèle un perpétuel travail de reformulation, de réorganisation du texte, de rature, d’ajout, etc. pour trouver la bonne formule. D’autre part, le travail d’interprétation qui permet de dégager les significations du poème montre qu’« Épitaphe », à travers les thèmes et le style, reprend les grandes idées du chantre de la négritude. Il s’y donne à lire que chez Senghor la poésie de la mort s’appuie sur une vision africaine et fonctionne comme une victoire sur la mort même.
Négritude, Négrité, Judéité, Lusitanité
Authors: Dugas Guy
Published: October 2024

Guy Dugas analyse le contenu des correspondances qu’entretenait le poète-président avec le poète Armand Guibert et l’écrivain et sociologue Albert Memmi. Ses échanges avec Guibert sont l’occasion pour Senghor d’exprimer un sentiment d’appartenance au peuple portugais. Par ailleurs, il semble percevoir dans cette lusitanité un modèle pour sa Civilisation de l’Universel. Le ton des lettres qu’il adresse à Memmi est plus volontiers politique, parfois même polémique, abordant la question de la condition des Juifs au Sénégal, mais également l’épineuse question du conflit israélo-palestinien. Malgré certaines divergences d’opinions, l’étude de cette correspondance nous révèle que Senghor est particulièrement sensible aux analyses sociologiques de Memmi, allant jusqu’à considérer l’existence d’une similarité entre le concept de judéité, forgé par Memmi, et celui de négritude.
Une étude génétique des traductions allemandes de Senghor au prisme des archives berlinoises
Authors: Sofo Giuseppe
Published: October 2024

Cet article est consacré à une étude génétique des traductions allemandes de l’œuvre de Léopold Sédar Senghor, à travers des documents conservés auprès de deux archives de l’Université Humboldt de Berlin : les archives de Janheinz Jahn, traducteur responsable de la diffusion de centaines d’œuvres des littératures africaines et antillaises en allemand, et les archives d’Erica de Bary, écrivaine et traductrice, qui fut la première traductrice de Senghor vers l’allemand. À partir des échanges épistolaires de Jahn avec Senghor, de Bary et un troisième traducteur, Friedhelm Kemp, des brouillons de travail de de Bary et des versions publiées des traductions de Jahn, ainsi que d’une version inédite et non répertoriée que nous avons découverte pendant nos recherches, nous étudions l’évolution génétique des textes de Senghor en allemand, ainsi que les dynamiques de collaboration entre Jahn et les autres traducteurs, dont le travail est resté entièrement méconnu jusqu’à présent.
Introduction - Le corps de la mémoire
Authors: Ruellet Aurélien
Published: October 2024

Que peuvent la discipline intellectuelle et l’éducation face à l’inertie de l’organique et de la « nature » ? Cette question, débattue depuis l’Antiquité, se pose notamment au sujet de la mémoire. Les théories héritées de la médecine grecque, influentes jusqu’à la fin de l’époque moderne, en font l’un des lieux d’expression des dispositions et du tempérament individuels. L’art, le travail, mais aussi des techniques matérielles et intellectuelles proposent pourtant d’exploiter les potentialités et contraintes de cette mémoire corporelle. Ce volume envisage plusieurs exemples de cette articulation, de la poésie didactique de l’Islam médiéval à l’itinéraire du professeur de mémoire Lambert Schenckel, en passant par les conceptions de Huarte, Descartes ou Malebranche sur la question.
Les « plis de la mémoire » chez Descartes et ses contemporains : médecine et métaphysique
Authors: Morice Juliette
Published: October 2024

Cet article revient sur la question des traces mnésiques, plus précisément sur la notion de « pli de la mémoire » chez René Descartes et quelques-uns de ses contemporains et successeurs. Il s’agit de démêler les arguments et les problèmes que la notion de pli met au jour (à propos de la localisation cérébrale, de la visibilité des mécanismes physiologiques et du statut ontologique des traces), pour comprendre les raisons du relatif silence cartésien à propos de la mémoire. Je fais l’hypothèse selon laquelle le problème pourrait venir du fait que Descartes « intellectualise » la mémoire et se trouve embarrassé par le paradigme métaphorologique de la trace, qui tire la mémoire du côté de l’imagination.
Mémoire et éducation : la place de la poésie didactique dans le monde islamique médiéval
Authors: Azgal Zohra
Published: October 2024

Un poème didactique médiéval de l’andalou Abū-l-Qāsim al-Šāṭibī (d. 1194) devient rapidement un véritable bestseller des manuels d’enseignement des lectures coraniques. Aux frontières du sacré et du profane, il remet en cause la séparation épistémologique entre littérature et religion pour nous offrir un texte à double lecture. Il va permettre, à travers des procédés mnémotechniques très élaborés, la mémorisation et la restitution des lectures du Coran. Les manuscrits anciens de ce poème ne comportant aucune enluminure, le travail de visualisation repose alors exclusivement sur la mémoire ; l’imaginaire et les sons s’affiliant ainsi à un art de la mémoire dans lequel le cœur serait le principal vecteur de la mémoire dont les actions ont lieu dans le cerveau grâce à la vertu imaginative.
По стопам гуманистов: Mаксим Грек и «Oтче нашъ толковои»
Authors: Romoli Francesca
Published: October 2024

This essay is dedicated to the Pater noster Commentary (Otče naš tolkovo), a commentary on the Pater noster that is found in a manuscript collection of Maximus the Greek’s works, the ms. RNB OLDP nr. 176, and until now has been erroneously counted among his original writings. The text is here for the first time restored to the Slavic tradition of Pseudo-Chrysostom’s Interpretatio orationis Pater noster (CPG 4596) and identified as a witness to the third version of the second redaction of the Slavic translation, which I suggest here may have been taken (copied) from the ms. GIM Čud. nr. 167. In the Slavic tradition, the version of the Interpretatio chosen by Maximus the Greek did not enjoy textual autonomy but was included in the Tolkovaja služba within the Kormčaja kniga of the Čudovskyj type. In researching, selecting and moving the text, Maximus the Greek shows a humanist sensibility, moving in the footsteps and applying the method of his Italian masters, and especially following the example of the camaldolese monk Pietro Candido in the arrangement of the ms. BNCF Conventi soppressi G.II.496.

Published: October 2024

Through the use of digital platforms, e-government has revolutionized public administration and increased accessibility, efficiency, and transparency. Driven by digital technology and the Internet, e-government seeks to be more responsive and citizen-centric than just digitizing government functions. With AI, e-government has entered a new era. The ability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to learn, adapt, and make decisions presents unparalleled opportunities to enhance the provision of services. Using AI, governments can analyze large data, automate repetitive tasks, and customize services. Data science and machine learning, two subcategories of AI, are crucial to e-government. They provide trend analysis, big database analysis, and service delivery optimization. Government data may be analyzed using machine learning algorithms to uncover trends and insights that will help with resource allocation, policymaking, and decision-making
Charting the Course
Authors: Roberts Leesha Nicole
Published: October 2024

This chapter evaluates ICT integration at the policy level in Trinidad and Tobago, examining the relevance of UNESCO's ICT Competency Framework for Teachers and identifying systemic barriers to effective technology use in education. Utilising a mixed methods approach, it combines quantitative data from surveys and qualitative insights from focus groups. The findings reveal significant disparities in resource allocation, professional development gaps, and infrastructural challenges. The proposed RRIR ICT Integration Model addresses these issues by providing a comprehensive policy framework tailored to educators' needs. It offers practical guidance to optimise resources, enhance professional development, and ensure consistent policy implementation. By aligning with national objectives and global standards, the RRIR model fosters a more technologically adept and resilient education system in Trinidad and Tobago.
The Interplay of Emotion and Cognition in Adult Learning
Authors: Ismail Islam Asim , Aljabr Fahad Saleh
Published: October 2024

Learning holistically engages emotion and cognition, yet education often overlooks affective processes. This chapter explores their dynamic interplay through a comprehensive literature review examining theories on how emotions shape learning. The aims are to establish an evidence-based framework emphasizing the intentional integration of factors like motivation, curiosity, and self-efficacy with cognitive objectives in instructional design. The methodology includes synthesizing foundational theories and empirical studies, then exemplifying transformative potential through case studies demonstrating enhanced engagement and holistic development when addressing emotions. Results reveal that emotions can enable adults to take risks, overcome barriers, and achieve meaningful change through learning. Also, emotion and cognition are fundamentally intertwined; practical pedagogical approaches must integrate intellectual to unlock human potential. The chapter proposes an Emotional Learning Design framework for an impactful education through person-centered humanistic instructional practices.
Emotional Learning Analytics in Education
Authors: Tychola Kyriaki A. , Vrochidou Eleni , Papakostas George A.
Published: October 2024

Learning Analytics (LA) are constantly evolving in the analysis and representation of data related to learners and educators to improve the learning and education process. Data obtained by sensors or questionnaires are processed employing new technologies. The emotional experiences of learners constitute a significant factor in the assimilation of knowledge about the learning process. The emerging technology of Emotional Learning Analytics (ELA) is increasingly being considered in educational settings. In this work, the significance and contribution of ELA in educational data processing are discussed as an integral part of designing and implementing computational models reflecting the learning process. In addition, a comprehensive overview of different methods and techniques for both LA and ELA is provided, while a conceptual model of ELA is proposed in parallel. Moreover, advantages, disadvantages, and challenges are highlighted. The final focus of the chapter is on ethical issues and future research directions.
Enhancing Adult Lifelong Learning
Authors: Mathew Jerine Jain , Nair Sridevi
Published: October 2024

This chapter explores the possibility of applying social-emotional learning theory to adult learning experiences and creating lifelong learners. Social-emotional learning (SEL) theory is a framework that emphasizes the use of tools and techniques focused on the development of social and emotional skills to improve overall well-being and success in life. It is based on the belief that individuals who possess these skills are better equipped to manage their emotions, build positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. In educational settings, SEL theory is often applied to help students develop these skills, which are seen as critical for academic success and personal well-being. It is implemented through explicit instruction, modeling, and practice, as well as through the creation of supportive learning environments. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in applying SEL theory to adult learners.
Fiction as Reflective Praxis for Affective Domain Learning in Medicine and Healthcare Education
Authors: Hayes Catherine
Published: October 2024

Being able to effectively teach for affective learning domain delivery is now pivotal in instances of medical and healthcare education where numbers of older adults are rising exponentially in the United Kingdom (UK) as a direct demographic consequence of the baby boom generation. As a healthcare professional discipline, podiatric medicine has a key role in the maintenance of ambulatory health and wellbeing for older adults, so these statistics have clear implications for the education and training of graduates within this academic discipline. In the context of allied health professional practice, future practitioners need to be equipped and prepared not only to provide functional podiatric management but also to understand and integrate the greater sociological implications of an ageing population into practice. This chapter uses an illustrative case study from teaching practice to engage readers in the use of televised fiction to stimulate critical reflective practice when working with vulnerable older people and their families and carers.

An Investigation of Students' Emotions, Emotion Regulation Strategies, and Motives for Emotion Regulation
Authors: Bakır-Yalçın Eda , Yalçın Yasin
Published: October 2024

This study aimed to identify the emotions experienced by students engaged in a project assignment for the Instructional Technologies course, the emotion regulation strategies they employed, and the motives behind their use of these strategies. The sample comprised 20 undergraduate students enrolled in the Instructional Technologies course at a state university in Turkey. Conducted as an explanatory case study, the research revealed that students commonly felt anxiety and excitement during the project preparation phase, excitement during the presentation phase, and relief post-presentation. Situation modification strategies were the most frequently used emotion regulation techniques, primarily for instrumental reasons to enhance performance. Furthermore, students often experienced multiple emotions and utilized various strategies to regulate these emotions. In this chapter, we discuss our findings in light of the related literature and make recommendations for emotional processes in the educational context.
Underlying Workplace Emotional Impacts upon a Professor's Experiential Approach
Authors: Crawford Caroline M.
Published: October 2024

This autoethnographic case study focuses upon a university professor's experiences within a workplace environment, that impacted learning design approaches and practices. The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats within the workplace environment supported the creatively engaging and critically analytic approach to embracing areas of control and positive impact within the work environment. Through the storytelling narrative approach that progresses through a Currere Method of engagement, complex conversations may occur. Through these complex and difficult conversations, recognitions and outcomes that the case study participant would not have proactively engaged in learning design practices that were ultimately positive, impactful, and deeply meaningful to the learning outcomes of students progressing through degree-focused coursework. The sense of “becoming” within this case study is strengthened and on display throughout the Currere Method's journey.
Educator Preparation Design Practices That Encourage Candidate Social-Emotional and Affective Competencies as Needed Dispositions for Teaching
Authors: Bromer Billi L.
Published: October 2024

University based educator preparation practices within onsite and online formats provide the practical knowledge and skills required for effective teaching but do not adequately provide a self-discovery experience where the needed social emotional growth of teacher candidates and the affective aspects of teaching are nurtured and encouraged. Enhanced self-awareness of the emotions experienced by teachers in daily encounters with students can be a component of educator preparation and its inclusion may minimize the stressors that lead to compassion fatigue and teacher burnout.

Wearing Many Faces
Authors: Melson-Silimon Arturia , Thomas Kecia
Published: October 2024

Black women remain the target of gendered racism. The current chapter reviews stereotypes of Black women: the Mammy, Jezebel, Sapphire/Angry Black Woman, and Strong Black Woman. In doing so, we discuss how negative portrayals of Black women within the media contribute to workplace discrimination. In drawing from Black Feminist Thought (Collins, 2000) and identity shifting (Jones & Shorter-Gooden, 2004), we discuss the specific strategies Black women professionals report to adapt and navigate White-dominated spaces. Following this review, we discuss implications for public policy (e.g., CROWN Act). Further, with the rise of anti-Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion bills across the country, we conclude with a consideration of how such legislation is likely to stifle Black women professionals' voice, significantly leaving them vulnerable to discrimination. We challenge organizations to create inclusive practices that will lead to a more hospitable climate for Black women.

Authors: dos Reis Felipa Lopes , Garcia Ndongala
Published: October 2024

The debate on assessment models for public companies continues to raise different opinions and options on the selection of criteria and indicators that should be used. Public companies have low performance problems, making it difficult to quantify their performance. This study presents an econometric model for evaluating the financial performance of Angolan public companies, recognizing their financial objectives, allocation criteria and financial indicators. The results reveal the presence of the assumptions of the pecking order theory. Total indebtedness had greater weight and was slightly more significant than short-term indebtedness. The analysis by sector of activity also showed to agree with the trade-off theory for the 90th percentile, in cases where the deterioration of the operational profitability of the asset induced an increase in indebtedness.
