Andróginos y ciborgs: monstruos de deconstrucción

Resumen En nuestro corpus, conformado por obras literarias y cinematográficas, los cuerpos monstruosos del ciborg y del andrógino devienen seres fronterizos que cuestionan los parámetros de sexo, género y deseo. Lo humano es puesto en duda y lo invisible se vuelve visible, abriendo un amplio espectro en la naturaleza. En el presente estudio se examinan las figuras del andrógino y del ciborg a la luz de las teorías de género: por un lado, se estudia el lugar de ambos monstruos en el feminismo deconstructivista; por otro, desde la perspectiva queer, ambos puntos de vista vinculados. Para nuestro análisis se tendrán en cuenta conceptos como género/sexo, dualidad sexual, intersexualidad o (hetero)patriarcado. Palabras clave: androginia, ciborg, género, feminismo, queer.In the works here analyzed –literary as well as filmic discourses- cyborg and androgyne monstrous bodies become frontier beings which question sex, gender and desire patterns. What is human is also questioned, and the invisible turns into visible, thus widening our notion of the natural. In the present study, androgyne and cyborg are examined from a gender perspective: on the one hand, these monsters are taken into account from feminist deconstruction view; on the other hand, we will go back to our works analyzing them from the queer theory perspective. Both feminism and queer theory are, though, related to each other. Throughout our whole study, we will consider terms such as gender/sex, sexual duality, intersex or (hetero)patriarchy. Key terms: androgyny, cyborg, gender, feminism, queer.

Del bol al plat. Canvis en els hàbits alimentaris i diferències en els estils de consum al curs inferior de l’Ebre (SS. VII-VI ANE)

The ceramic assemblages of the lower Ebro bassin show in the First Iron Age a clear expansion and diversification of crockery services. These modifications include the presence of carinated outset lip dishes, a type of dish which usually is upon a high foot, a trait that gives it a very characteristic aspect among the instruments of food consumption. The appearance of this type of dishes is related both to the practice of new food habits as with the first differences in consumption styles, a fact which forces us to assess not only their use in domestic consumption practices, but also its possible use in certain exceptional celebrations

Sepulcres i enterraments a la Dertosa tardoantiga. Les excavacions del carrer de la Mercè (Tortosa, Baix Ebre)

En els darrers anys el nostre coneixement de les àrees d’enterrament tardoantigues a la ciutat de Dertosa ha augmentat significativament, gràcies sobretot a les excavacions que s’han produït a la zona del barranc del Rastre. En aquest estudi presentem les dades de caire funerari obtingudes de les excavacions efectuades al carrer de la Mercè entre els anys 2009 i 2010. És destacable la troballa d’un conjunt de sepulcres de cista del segle VI cobertes amb grans lloses de pedra. Aquesta modalitat d’enterrament, la qual ha d’estar destinada a personatges d’un rang social elevat, no s’havia documentat fins ara a Tortosa.In recent years, our knowledge about the late Roman burial areas of the city of Dertosa has increased significantly mainly due to the excavations that have been carried out in the Rastre ravine area. In this paper we present the data of funeral type obtained from the excavations of Mercè street between 2009 and 2010. Is remarkable the finding of a VIth century set of stone slab graves covered by ashlars. This type of burial, which must be reserved for individuals of high social rank, was unknown in Tortosa until now

Studying the Impact of Negotiation Environments on Negotiation Teams' Performance

[EN] In this article we study the impact of the negotiation environment on the performance of several intra-team strategies (team dynamics) for agent-based negotiation teams that negotiate with an opponent. An agent-based negotiation team is a group of agents that joins together as a party because they share common interests in the negotiation at hand. It is experimentally shown how negotiation environment conditions like the deadline of both parties, the concession speed of the opponent, similarity among team members, and team size affect performance metrics like the minimum utility of team members, the average utility of team members, and the number of negotiation rounds. Our goal is identifying which intra-team strategies work better in different environmental conditions in order to provide useful knowledge for team members to select appropriate intra-team strategies according to environmental conditions.This work is supported by TIN2011-27652-C03-01, TIN2009-13839-C03-01, CSD2007-00022 of the Spanish Government, and FPU Grant AP2008-00600 awarded to Victor Sanchez-Anguix.
