Deaf Children usually achieve lower scores on numerical tasks than normally hearing peers. Explanations for mathematical disabilities in hearing children are based on quantity representation deficits (Geary, 1994) or on deficits in accessing these representations (Rousselle & Noël, 2008). The present study aimed to verify, by means of symbolic (Arabic digits) and nonsymbolic (dot constellations and hands) magnitude comparison tasks, whether deaf children show deficits in representations or in accessing numerical representations. The study participants were 10 prelocutive deaf children and 10 normally hearing children. Numerical distance and magnitude were manipulated. Response time (RT) analysis showed similar magnitude and distance effects in both groups on the 3 tasks. However, slower RTs were observed among the deaf participants on the symbolic task alone. These results suggest that although both groups’ quantity representations were similar, the deaf group experienced a delay in accessing representations from symbolic codes.
Care and sustainability of life: a reflexion from time policiesLas políticas de tiempo surgen en Italia a finales de 1980 a través de una propuesta de ley de iniciativa popular que fija las bases de un campo de investigación e intervención cuyo potencial ha sido explorado solo en parte. El texto tiene como objetivo llevar a cabo una relectura de dicha iniciativa en torno a tres aspectos medulares de los debates más recientes y novedosos sobre cuidados y sostenibilidad de la vida: desigualdades sociales y procesos de empoderamiento; autonomía, dependencia, vulnerabilidad; y estructuración y cambio social. La reflexión refleja en un ejemplo concreto: los bancos de tiempo.Time policies emerge in Italy in late 1980 through a popular initiative. Such iniciative provides the basis of a research and intervention field which explores its potential only partially. The text aims to carry out a rereading of the initiative around three core issues of the recent debates on care and sustainability of life: social inequalities and processes of empowerment; autonomy, dependency, vulnerability; and social structuring and change. The reflection lands on a concrete example: time banks. Palabras clavePolíticas de tiempo, cuidados, sostenibilidad de la vida, bancos de tiempo
ORCID iD: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7892-325X RESUMEN: Los cambios acaecidos en las sociedades occidentales en las últimas décadas configuran una nueva forma de responder a la provisión de cuidados que ha sido definida en términos de crisis. Esta nueva organización agudiza las desigualdades de género existentes y genera nuevas relaciones de poder asimétricas aunque, al mismo tiempo, ofrece también oportunidades de resignificación del trabajo doméstico y los cuidados. El artículo analiza la crisis de cuidados en relación a la distribución social del tiempo donado en el ámbito doméstico-familiar, así como a su significación y representaciones (moralización y reciprocidad). Para ello, emplea los datos cuantitativos producidos mediante la Encuesta de Presupuestos de Tiempo del Instituto Vasco de Estadística -Eustat y el material generado a través de grupos de discusión. PALABRAS CLAVE:Crisis de cuidados; tiempo donado; reciprocidad; distribución social del tiempo; moralización del tiempo; adscripciones de género. ABSTRACT:The changes in Western societies in recent decades constitute a new way of responding to the provision of care that has been defined in terms of crisis. This new organization exacerbates existing gender inequalities and generates new asymmetrical power relations while, at the same time, it also offers opportunities for redefinition of domestic work and care. The article analyzes care crisis in relation to the social distribution of donated time in the domestic-family domain, as well as its significance and representations (moralization and reciprocity). For this purpose, it uses the quantitative data produced by Time Use Budget's Survey of the Basque Statistics Institute-Eustat and material generated through focus groups.
The aim of this article is to analyze the extent to which the consequences of the occupational crisis are diminishing the role of employment in the life project of young people in transition to adult life. It is based on research carried out in three territories (the Basque Country, Catalonia and Castilla-La Mancha) using a qualitative method, developing focus groups with 18-24 year old people. The results highlight how gender plays a key role in decisions, patterns, expectations and practices in relation to the educational and occupational tracks of young people; as well as the importance of the traditions and productive structures in the different territories.
Résumé L’article a pour objectif une analyse du milieu domestique à partir de la perspective de la sociologie du temps. Pour cela, on prend comme point de départ une investigation qualitative réalisée au Pays Basque Espagnol. La proposition développée dans le texte conceptualise le temps comme un temps donné , c’est-à-dire qui ne se vend ni ne s’offre et qui opère d’une façon distincte (non opposée) à la quantification et la mercantilisation. Le don fonctionne sur la base d’une logique qui suppose des orientations qui demeurent tacites et qui comportent une relation de réciprocité reposant sur l’obligation de donner et de rendre. Une approche du domestique depuis la notion de temps donné permet d’étendre son analyse au-delà des aspects matériels, pour approfondir la dimension morale (moralisation du temps) et relationnelle (réciprocité), à travers une conception du temps multidimensionnel.
