title: Relational reproduction: exploring women's reproductive decision making in the context of individualization, neoliberalism, and postfeminism
Creators: name: Saunders, Kristina
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Reproduction, gender, class, having it all, choice, individualization, neoliberalism, postfeminism, relationality.

description: This thesis is a qualitative exploration of women’s reproductive decision making in the context of individualization, neoliberalism, and postfeminism. These concepts, which denote the social, political, and gendered contexts in which women live their lives, emphasize the notion of free choice and a subjectivity characterised by individual autonomy. Whilst choice has been widely discussed with reference to women’s lives, I considered there to be a theoretical and empirical gap to fill by using the above concepts as a lens through which to view reproductive decision making, and to uncover the valued femininity available to women. I also argue, however, that a fuller picture of how choice and subjectivity are enacted can be found when considering theories of relationality and embodiment which help to connect the isolated, ‘flattened out’ view of the self to society. Using data from twenty-two semi-structured interviews with women and service providers (facilitated by the use of concept cards), I trace the contradictory and discursive elements of reproductive choice. I explore this with regards to women’s status and relationship to contemporary society, and how they are positioned by their classed, ‘leaky’, reproductive bodies. I also discuss how seemingly intimate reproductive decisions are inseparable from public and political life, structures, and other people which gives a deeper understanding of choice than what is contained within individualization, neoliberalism, and postfeminism. The depoliticizing effects of choice are also explored, as in spite of reproductive decisions being presented as relational and embodied, participants at times understood decisions as a matter of individual choice, therefore withholding critique of inequalities. Overall, this thesis provides an insight into how the self and reproductive decisions emerge in a relational process that is inseparable from the social and political world, therefore helping to move away from individualized framings, and the undermining of collectivity that neoliberalism enforces.

title: Evolution of lamb immune phenotype in response to nematode infections
Creators: name: Orlendo, Cameline Nafula
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Variation, immune phenotypes, lambs, nematodes.

description: There is considerable variation in the distribution of the number of parasites amongst a flock of lambs infected with gastrointestinal nematodes. One hypothesis that could explain the observed heterogeneity is that hosts evolve immune phenotypes of varying strengths when infected. The acquired immune response that is mounted by infected lambs is composed of two components. The IgE immune component which regulates parasite numbers within a host, and the IgA immune component which lowers adult parasite fecundity rates, hence decreasing the number of infective agents that are released by the host back into the communal pasture area. In this study, we use adaptive dynamics to study the evolution of the IgE and IgA immune phenotypes, and we use lamb weight as a measure of host fitness. We found that processes affecting the evolution of the lamb immune phenotypes are: the assumed trade-off relationship between the IgE and IgA immune responses, variation in immune costs, the sensitivity of host maintenance efficiency to the presence of adult nematodes and seasonality. A key finding is that we can obtain a dimorphic population that emulates field studies when the presence of adult nematodes severely reduces hosts maintenance efficiency, and the IgE cost is low while the IgA cost is high. Overall, this study provides insight into the processes that could lead to variation in immune phenotypes of lambs infected with nematode parasites.

description: Through the analysis of the stages of the working up of public policies, which consist of complex processes, whose ideal moment of debate is the moment of drawing up the budget, it is intended at highlighting the necessary connection that exist between the implementation of the fundamental rights and the discussion of budget laws. For this reason, considering that the Brazilian Constitution of 1988 established, implicitly or explicitly, a wide range of fundamental rights that claim application, and that it is impossible the application of all rights in an absolute way, considering the scarcity of public resources, it is shown the need of planning and global analysis towards the greatest possible application of rights, with protagonism of Executive and Legislative Branches. In this context, the role of the Judicial Branch should be restricted to guaranteeing the minority rights excluded by occasional majorities and guaranteeing the access to the supposed beneficiaries of the public policies developed.
title: Changing Scotland: A social history of love in the life and work of Edwin Morgan
Creators: name: Osmond-Williams, Philippa
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Edwin Morgan, love, Scotland, biography, social history, social attitudes, legal reform, homosexuality, scrapbooks, archives, correspondence, war, energy.

description: Examining love in the life and work of Edwin Morgan (1920-2010), this thesis argues that Morgan’s literary and artistic demonstrations of love inherently respond to the legal, political, and social changes of Scotland in the twentieth and twenty-first century. By mapping Morgan’s biographical contexts within Scotland’s wider social history and culture, the impact of the nation and its shifting attitudes on Morgan’s collected works is delineated. An examination of material only available to researchers, including Morgan’s correspondence and scrapbooks held in Archives and Special Collections at Glasgow University Library, supplements this comprehensive exploration of the significance of love in Morgan’s life and work. Different themes in Morgan’s literature surface at different periods of his life, often significantly responding to specific biographical or socio-historical contexts. This thesis, therefore, is organised chronologically in relation to Morgan’s biography rather than to his publications, although these two timelines do often overlap. Each chapter covers three decades of Morgan’s life. Chapter One explores Morgan’s interaction with love in the context of war. Morgan’s early defining relationships and the iconography of love and war in his scrapbooks are examined, followed by an interrogation of the homosocial emphasis in Morgan’s translation of Beowulf (1952). A reappraisal of the ‘subterranean’ structure of ‘The New Divan’ (1977) is performed through a thematic examination of love and sex. Chapter Two analyses the homosexual subtexts that arise in Morgan’s later scrapbooks, focusing particularly on literary figures and British public trials. The love sequence from The Second Life (1968) is examined in relation to the major romantic relationship of Morgan’s life that inspired these poems, followed by an exploration of personal and universal grief in ‘The Moons of Jupiter’ (1979). Chapter Three considers transformation, exploring Scotland’s social attitudes following the decriminalisation of homosexuality and the impact this had on Morgan’s writing and his role as a public figure. Highlighting Morgan’s emphasis on particular themes that respond to personal contexts and Scotland’s socio-political shifts, transformation through translation and adaptation is examined through four key texts: Cyrano de Bergerac (1992), Phaedra (2000), A.D.: A Trilogy of Plays on the Life of Jesus Christ (2000) and The Play of Gilgamesh (2005). The ‘Demon’ (1999) sequence is the final text analysed, serving to highlight the crucial connection that Morgan establishes between love, creation, and energy.
title: Music education in Northern Ireland 1920-2017: from there to here to where?
Creators: name: Scharf, Jenny
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Music Education, Northern Ireland, history, 2007 music curriculum.

description: This thesis presents an investigation on music education in Northern Ireland (NI) from 1920 to 2017. Its main aims were to uncover the role of music in schools since NI’s creation in 1921 and the potential of the current school music curriculum (DENI/CCEA, 2007) to promote mutual understanding in NI’s post-conflict society. The research approach combined historical documentary enquiry and qualitative empirical research. Overall, the thesis is placed within a theoretical framework drawing on MacDonald’s (2013) model for music and wellbeing that addresses music as an artistic phenomenon and a contributory factor in personal and social development. The historical documentary enquiry drew on 40 school inspectors’ primary documents, obtained in the Belfast Public Record Office, to present an overview of music in NI schools from 1920 to 1979, and secondary documents to consider the provenance and development of the current curriculum, including own professional papers gathered from 1981. The qualitative empirical research consisted of semi-structured interviews with 22 music teachers in 11 grammar and 11 secondary schools located across all six NI counties, and a focus group with 10 newly-qualified teachers. While focusing, primarily, on aspects of the 2007 music curriculum, interviews addressed wider contextual aspects by discussing the impact of new initiatives on music education. These included the Entitlement Framework of qualifications (DENI, 2010), the promotion of STEM subjects (DENI, 2011), and Shared Education across the religious divide (DENI, 2015). Thematic analysis of transcripts is discussed in the findings under four broad themes, with twelve related sub-themes. The themes are (i) The Significance of Music in NI, (ii) The Music Curriculum, (iii) Moving Forward, and (iv) Newly Qualified Teachers’ Thinking. Data analysis appeared to reflect NI’s ‘us’ and ‘them’ dilemma, an in-group/out-group bias that was implicit in responses from some practising and newly-qualified teachers. Positive and negative outcomes of the research are contrasted with previous studies. Teachers’ belief that they were promoting mutual respect and understanding was limited by educational segregation and a desire to avoid controversial issues within the classroom. The new initiatives, outlined above, appeared to impact, negatively, on music curriculum and examinations. Although two cross-community music ensembles were documented, illustrating the potential of such activities, music appeared to still play a particular role in representing NI’s two indigenous cultures, Protestant/‘orange’ and Catholic/‘green’. The concluding chapter considers the interview findings in light of the historical documentary enquiry. It discusses the thesis’ contribution to knowledge, its implications, and some suggestions for further research.
title: The development of novel biomarker techniques for the early detection of colorectal anastomotic breakdown
Creators: name: Wright, Emma Claire
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Colorectal, anastomosis, complication, leak.

description: Anastomotic leak (AL) following colorectal surgery leads to significant morbidity, mortality and poorer oncological outcomes. Diagnosis of AL is frequently delayed as current methods of detection are not 100% sensitive or specific. Recent work has illustrated that local biomarkers from the perianastomotic environment may have the ability to detect AL early. A literature review undertaken as part of this project identified lactate and pH as the most promising biomarkers. Advances in biosensor technology means that the development of a degradable or removal biosensor for AL represents an exciting possibility. With the ultimate aim of developing such a sensor, this study aimed to determine the stability of lactate and pH in peritoneal fluid, further assess their usefulness as biomarkers of AL and other complications after surgery and compare their performance to that of commonly used blood biomarkers in detecting AL and other complications following colorectal surgery. Peritoneal fluid lactate was found to be stable over 24 hours, except if the fluid had a high WCC. For pH, clinically significant changes were detected after 1 hour. As there were no ALs in the study it was not possible to determine the usefulness of lactate and pH in relation to this complication. Although the difference was not statistically significant, pH generally rose over the first 3 days post-operatively in patients making an uncomplicated recovery. Lactate did not appear to be useful in predicting post-operative complications but it was thought that this was related to the method by which lactate was measured and that further study of lactate was merited. Blood biomarkers were superior to perianastomotic lactate and pH at predicting post-operative complications but they lacked specificity and significant differences were only apparent at 5 days following surgery. Overall, the work has contributed to our understanding of the stability of lactate and pH in peritoneal fluid, highlighted trends in pH in post-operative patients that merit further investigation and has illustrated the limitations of blood biomarkers. In addition, it has provided insight into how further studies in the area should be conducted and which questions need to be addressed next in order to pursue the eventual aim of developing a biosensor for the early detection of AL.

description: Due to its flexibility and convenience, online instruction is increasingly becoming an attractive, viable option for many students. In 2008, Norfolk State University began promoting online course and program development as a means of "growing the university." Thus, academic departments have increased the number of available online courses and online degree programs. All degree-seeking students are required to pass the Examination of Writing Competency (EWC) which they are eligible to take after completing two semesters of first-year composition. This study, utilizing a survey and site (course) "observation," analyzes the perceptions of students who have completed or nearly completed two semesters of online FYC as to their readiness to take the EWC. (Note that the study did not address whether or not students passed the examination.) The analysis of the survey and Blackboard course site suggests that a significant percentage of these students do not feel that they are prepared to take the EWC despite the fact that FYC targets the very skills and abilities that are critical to success on the examination. Further, the analysis points to larger questions concerning pedagogical assumptions about course design and teaching FYC particularly in the asynchronous online environment.
title: Essays on international stock markets and real exchange rate dynamics
Creators: name: Wong, Kai Tim, Douglas
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Financial crisis, real exchange rate, international financial markets, macroeconomic shocks.

description: This thesis aims to examine the long-run determinants of the real exchange rate, and to identify the sources of real exchange rate and relative stock price short-run fluctuations. In chapter 1, I incorporate the relative stock prices into the Dornbusch’s Mundell-Fleming Real Exchange Rate Model in order to investigate the long-run relationship between the money, goods and stock markets. In chapter 2, I build on the work of Dornbusch (1976), Clarida and Gali (1994), Malliaropulos (1998) and Hoffmann and MacDonald (2000) in order to form the sticky-price equilibrium solution for identifying the source of real exchange rate fluctuation. In chapter 3, I empirically investigate whether the financial crises, the US monetary policy and the exchange rate regime switching of a country affect the real exchange rate co-moment. In addition to the cross-country real exchange rates correlation, the evolution of the equilibrium real exchange rates equicorrelation and temporary real exchange rates equicorrelation are also examined. In chapter 4, I present a model which builds on the stochastic rational expectations open macro model presented by Obstfeld (1985) and Clarida and Gali (1994) and incorporates Malliaropulos’s (1998) theoretical relationship between the real exchange rate and the relative stock differential. The model provides both the short- and long-run flexible price solution for identifying the source of relative stock prices. In chapter 5, I attempt to investigate whether the exchange rate can predict future changes in the stock market return and in the economic performance of a country. I present a model that can be used for analysing whether the real exchange rate or the real exchange rate misalignment would contain an economically significant predictable component on forecasting the future stock price movement and the real output.

When he became the forerunner in the Republican primaries, the conventional wisdom was that he would be handily defeated when the field narrowed to a manageable number, certainly when he faced a “regular” Republican.

Creators: name: Timoney, Ryan
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Drilling, sampling, solar system, polar regions, Antarctica.

description: Future robotic exploration missions within the Solar System, focussing on either scientific discovery or the emerging field of In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU), shall require the development of technologies which are capable of exploring to ever-greater depths beneath the planetary surface. In order to achieve these ambitious goals, advances in the existing state of the art in robotic sampling are required. This Ph.D. presents findings on the development of novel solutions within this field. The development of the Ultrasonic Planetary Core Drill (UPCD), a system based upon the ultrasonic-percussive drill technique, was designed with a Mars Sample Return (MSR) objective at the core of the development. Breakthroughs in autonomous control and the robotic assembly of drill strings were required in order to meet the requirements set. The system was tested at Coal Nunatak, Antarctica, in December 2016. A rotary-percussive drilling system for use in extracting subglacial bedrock samples from Earth’s Polar Regions was developed. Making use of technologies devised in the UPCD project, this collaboration with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) required a low resource approach to the problem in order to ensure compatibility with existing BAS systems and logistical constraints. Building upon technologies developed and confidence generated in previous systems, the subglacial bedrock was industrialised into what became the Percussive Rapid Access Isotope Drill (P-RAID). This system underwent initial field trials at the Skytrain Ice Rise, Antarctica in January 2019 with the intention to further develop the system for full deployment.

description: The world is becoming increasingly dependent on energy to satisfy human social and economic development. The application of renewable energy sources has been identified as a necessity for future energy sustainability. Solar power is one of the most rapidly developing forms of renewable energy with extensive research into ssDSSCs and PSCs being undergone in recent years due to the potential for use of environmentally friendly raw materials and low-cost processability of these devices. HTMs are implemented in these devices to aid in efficient device operation, with spiro-OMeTAD generally being used as the benchmark due to its superior performance. However, spiro-OMeTAD has numerous disadvantages preventing its application in commercial devices. Manipulation of its structure has been considered as a means of improving device stability while retaining the desirable properties. This thesis describes the steps taken in order to develop a divergent methodology for the synthesis of a series of novel spiro-OMeTAD based dimers. This methodology allowed the chain length of the unsymmetrical secondary amine arm to be incorporated into the synthesis at a late stage and reduced the linear step count of previous approaches in order to improve the overall yield. Buchwald-Hartwig amination was employed as the key-step for this methodology, which led to the formation of the protected unsymmetrical spiro-OMeTAD derivative. However, this step lowers the overall efficiency for the synthesis of the spiro-OMeTAD based dimers. The spectroscopic and redox properties of these compounds were analysed and produced similar results indicating the change in linker group had a minimal impact on their properties. Their characteristics show the potential of these materials to act as HTMs for ssDSSCs or PSCs.

description: The article expresses the result of a research done by a critical point of view on the analysis of Law 12,846 / 2013 in order to verify the problems on that Act and the corresponding consequences of it. The study revealed a non-exhaustive series of very challenging issues, such as unjustifiable delay in the approval of the Law; the unusual model of process adopted to investigate and punish so-called detrimental acts to the public, national or foreign administration; the disregard of constitutional jurisdiction model adopted in Brazil; the adoption of a leniency agreement model that does not stimulate the investigation and punishment of corruption; and the creation of an administrative pardon in the administrative processes of the Public Procurement Law and Administrative Contracts disguised as "leniency agreement" problems that do not prevent, greatly hampering own fight against corruption. These deficiencies, indicate, in addition to challenging the principles of public administration provided by the 1988 Constitution, pointing to the need for a judicial review or legislative reforms that make the Brazilian Corporate Anti-Corruption Law truly effective in fighting corruption and impunity.

Subjects: subject: Mobile privacy, mobile security, malware, privacy risk, unstructured user input, Android, permission, mobile software systems, security rules.

description: The increasing popularity of the Android OS has resulted in its user base surging past 2.5 billion monthly active users, which has made cybercriminals and non-criminal actors attracted to the OS because of the amount and quality of information they can access. As malicious apps are at an arms race with their benign counterparts in malware analysis, coupled with the evolving nature of the Android ecosystem, it is important to continuously analyse the ecosystem for privacy and security issues. The thesis proposes a privacy and security analysis approach for mobile software systems. The research methodology abstracts the mobile security problem as an access control problem, where the behavioural elements mirror the standard elements in an access control system - identification, authentication and authorization. This involves analyzing the app’s behavioural elements for unstructured user input, user-granted permissions, UI textual description, and literal app/product description. Next, the effectiveness of the proposed approach was evaluated in the context of mobile systems security, particularly in the area of malware analysis and its mitigation. The approaches are different because they utilize different aspects of the app metadata, such that security analysis of apps could be done depending on what aspect of the app information is available. Overall, this thesis contributes to knowledge around mobile software systems for the design of robust malware detection tools, a security-oriented overview of mobile systems behaviour and reliable risk signalling for privacy awareness. The findings demonstrated great promise in using the elements of access control for mobile systems in anomaly detection and sustainable malware mitigation. The proposed approach succeeded where other approaches have not, in malware analysis.

description: The present article demonstrated the role of AIDS and HIV in the Brazilian workplace environment. The subject was approached through a bibliographical and historical methodology, analyzing the evolution of the legal norms, especially federal legislation, inherent to AIDS and its manifestation in the legal scenario. The jurisprudential understanding and the action of the labor courts, in conjunction with manifestations of the Ministry of Labor, was brought to light, aiming at worker protection, equity and non-discrimination in the work environment. The professional secrecy of physicians was emphasized, according to the code of medical ethics, which prohibits them from revealing facts that prevent the practice of the profession. It follows that both doctrine and jurisprudence are unison to protect patients from unfairness and arbitrariness.

description: Figure S1. Intestinal cholesterol absorption modulated by fatty acids is a multistep process that is regulated by multiple genes. In the lumen of the small intestine, cholesterol esters from dietary intake and biliary secretion are solubilized in mixed micelles, which containing bile acids, fatty acids and phospholipids. Then the cholesterol esters are converted to free cholesterol by cholesterol esterase before free cholesterol then across the unstirred water layer and enter into enterocytes [22]. NPC1L1 protein as a sterol transporter mediates intestinal cholesterol absorption from intestinal brush border membranes into enterocytes [20], which might be inhibited by high concentration of EPA and DHA, and induced by PAM and OLA (0.5 and 1Â mM), and therefore inhibited cholesterol uptake and transport in Caco-2 monolayer. Downregulation of NPCL1L mRNA expression is associated with inhibition of transcription factor SREBP-1/â â 2 [22, 23, 52]. The majority of absorbed and endogenously synthesized cholesterol is transported to the endoplasmic reticulum, where it is converted to cholesterol ester by ACAT2 and is then assembled into chylomicrons in a MTP-dependent manner for secretion into the circulation via the lymphatic system [22]. Unesterified cholesterol may be transported back to the intestinal lumen by the apically localized heterodimeric sterol transporter ABCG8 [21, 22], which might be increased by high concentrations of EPA and DHA. Cholesterol may also be transported into the circulation as a constituent of HDL via localized ABCA1 at the basolateral membrane of enterocytes, which demonstrated that ARA, EPA and DHA inhibited the expression of ABCA1 to block the cholesterol efflux into the circulation as a function of HDL.

title: Foreign law court enforcement and delays in sovereign debt restructuring
Creators: name: Obi, Chizoba Uchenna
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Sovereign debt restructuring, bargaining theory, judicial process, good faith negotiations.

description: This thesis seeks to examine contemporary factors that prevent an orderly resolution to a sovereign debt crisis. It comprises of five chapters. The first chapter introduces the research and highlights its main contributions. The second chapter narrates the background and motivation for the study. The third chapter studies a related paper on holdouts in sovereign debt restructuring and finds that, under a discrete time version with two creditors, asymmetric pure strategy Nash equilibria exists. This result, overlooked by the original paper, implies immediate agreement as the time between successive periods tends to zero. The fourth chapter investigates the impact of heterogeneous beliefs on delays in sovereign debt restructuring and finds that parties inefficiently delay settlement when their combined beliefs of court-outcomes are sufficiently heterogeneous. The chapter also explores other model expositions and establishes delay conditions. The fifth chapter studies the implied duty on the debtor to act in good faith in sovereign debt restructuring and is divided into two parts. The first part theoretically examines the efficiency and distributional impacts from enforcing a good faith duty on the debtor when bargaining with heterogeneous creditors. Here, good faith is defined as the non-violation of the court interpretation of the pari passu clause. The second part identifies judicial attempts made to enforce the good faith debtor duty to negotiate and proposes a doctrinal threshold that restricts judicial intervention to situations in which there is clear evidence of a failure, on the part of the debtor, to negotiate in good faith.
HIV AND AIDS: PREJUDICE, DISCRIMINATION, AND STIGMA AT WORK

description: This article deigns to highlight the stigmas and discrimination that workers with HIV and AIDS suffer during the employment contract. A bibliographical approach was necessary to cross the positions of the doctrinaires directed to the subject matter. For this, it was necessary to define and differentiate discrimination, prejudice and stigma in order to delimit the forms of invasion to the subjectivism of the patient. International Labor Organization conventions 111 and 159 and Recommendation 200 on the code of practice and conduct on HIV and AIDS were discussed. The role of discrimination was assessed at the time of the contract, during the agreement and at the time of contractual resolution. It is concluded that the Brazilian jurisprudential understanding is in line with international positions, emphasizing the dignity of the patient and the effectiveness of their rights, when they are subtracted or ignored.

title: The Welsh Hymn to the Virgin: contexts and reception
Creators: name: Thuillier, Manon Gwendoline Morgane

Subjects: subject: Welsh manuscripts, Anglo-Welsh literature, textual afterlife, history of English, pragmaphilology.

description: The Hymn to the Virgin is a poem attributed to the Welsh poet Ieuan ap Hywel Swrdwal, thought to have been written around 1470 while he was a student at the University of Oxford. It is reputedly the first poem ever written in English by a Welshman (Stephens 1998: 341). The particularities of this poem are, first, its language, as it is composed in Middle to Early Modern English but spelled using Welsh letter-values, and the way it was transmitted, as it survives in twelve manuscripts, all of which being of Welsh origin and containing poetry in Welsh (with a few exceptions in Latin). This thesis comprises a survey of the different sources in which the poem is to be found, along with transcriptions and textual analyses of the manuscript copies.

description: Glycerol, which is one of the most abundant by-products in biodiesel production, can be converted into H2 through aqueous-phase reforming (APR). Dehydrogenation is one of the main processes in glycerol APR. In this work, we use computational methods to study Pt(1 1 1)-catalysed glycerol dehydrogenation under aqueous conditions. There are 84 intermediates and 250 possible reactions in the dehydrogenation network. Inclusion of the liquid environment adds computational expense, especially if we are to study all the reaction intermediates and reactions under explicit water solvation using quantum methods. In this work, we present a method that can be used to efficiently estimate reaction energies under explicit solvation with reasonable accuracy and computational expense. The method couples a linear scaling relationship for obtaining adsorbate binding energies with Lennard-Jones + Coulomb potentials for obtaining water–adsorbate interaction energies. Comparing reaction energies calculated with this approach to reaction energies obtained from a more extensive approach that attains quantum-level accuracy (published previously by our group), we find good correlation (R2 = 0.84) and reasonable accuracy (the mean absolute error, MAE = 0.28 eV).
title: Origins of permanent revolution theory: the formation of Marxism as a tradition (1865-1895) and 'the first Trotsky'. Introductory dimensions
Creators: name: Salgado Munoz, Manuel
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Marxism, Trotsky, permanent revolution, relations of production, productive forces, primitive communism theory, feminism, capital.

description: Investigating the period of emergence of Marxism as a tradition between 1865 and 1895, this work examines some key questions elucidating Trotsky's theoretical developments during the first decade of the XXth century. Emphasizing the role of such authors like Plekhanov, Johann Baptists von Schweitzer, Lenin and Zetkin in the developing of a 'Classical Marxism' that served as the foundation of the first formulation of Trotsky's theory of permanent revolution, it treats three introductory dimensions of this larger problematic: primitive communism and its feminist implications, the debate on the relations between the productive forces and the relations of production, and the first apprehensions of Marx's economic mature works.
