Ara soc un llac
Cinc relats sobre la joventut, l'amistat i els desitjos profunds. Les aigües del llac fan de mirall, però alhora permeten de capbussar-s'hi i d'explorar l'altra banda. Això fan les protagonistes dels relats de Natàlia Cerezo: s'inclinen sobre el seu reflex bellugadís i busquen la pròpia identitat submergides en el passat. Ara l'autora porta el lector a un hospital de Taipei, esperant que un amic surti del coma; ara el condueix pels llargs passadissos de casa l'àvia o el situa en un balneari on dues germanes bessones troben a faltar el pare. La joventut, l'amistat, els misteriosos lligams familiars, el que uneix i separa les parelles i els desitjos més profunds, turbulències sota les aigües tranquil·les.
Storing Power
We assess how firms' incentives to operate and invest in energy storage depend on the market structure. For this purpose, we characterize equilibrium market outcomes allowing for market power in storage and/or production, as well as for vertical integration between storage and production. Market power reduces overall efficiency through two channels: it induces an inefficient use of the storage facilities, and it distorts investment incentives. The worst outcome for consumers and total welfare occurs under vertical integration. We illustrate our theoretical results by simulating the Spanish wholesale electricity market for different levels of storage capacity. The results are key to understanding how to regulate energy storage, an issue which is critical for the deployment of renewables.
Queer Psychology
Queer Psychology is the first comprehensive book to examine the current state of LGBTQ communities and psychology, through the lenses of both queer theory and Intersectionality theory. Thus, the book describes the experiences of LGBTQ people broadly, while also highlighting the voices of LGBTQ people of color, transgender and gender nonconforming people, those of religious minority groups, immigrants, people with disabilities, and other historically marginalized groups. Each chapter will include an intersectional case example, as well as implications for policy and practice. This book is especially important as there has been an increase in psychology and counseling courses focusing on LGBTQ communities; however, students often learn about LGBTQ-related issues through a White cisgender male normative perspective. The edited volume contains the contributions of leading scholars in LGBTQ psychology, and covers a number of concepts – ranging from identity development to discrimination to health.
Sport, Representation and Evolving Identities in Europe
Sport annually mobilizes millions of people across Europe: as practitioners in a wide variety of competitive, educational, or recreational contexts, and as spectators, who are physically present or following events through the mass media. This book presents original research into modern sport funded by the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences. Its aim is to examine the distinctive contribution made by this complex phenomenon to the construction of European identities. Attention is focused on sport's social significance, as a set of mass-mediated practices and spectacles giving rise to a network of images, symbols, and discourses. The book seeks to explore, and ultima...
Mujer y poder
«Hago constar que somos bien conscientes de nuestra posición y situación, y que tenemos los instrumentos y la convicción para revertir las dinámicas del poder. Y lo haremos.» Jenn Díaz Desde que las primeras sufragistas consiguieron el derecho a voto, las mujeres se han incorporado progresivamente en la política hasta ocupar un lugar representativo. Pero ¿pueden realmente decidir? ¿De qué manera se condiciona su capacidad de acción? ¿Qué quiere decir feminizar la política? Mientras ejerce de diputada en el Parlamento de Catalunya, la escritora Jenn Díaz dirige una mirada al pasado para recoger las reivindicaciones y las luchas de las mujeres para llegar al poder y nos recuerd...
