Shed Light

In this study, we investigate how quantification of Wikipedia biographies can shed light on worldwide longitudinal gender inequality trends, a macro-level dimension of human development. We present the Wikidata Human Gender Indicator (WHGI), located within a set of indicators allowing comparative study of gender inequality through space and time, the Wikipedia Gender Indicators (WIGI), based on metadata available through the Wikidata database. Our research confirms that gender inequality is a phenomenon with a long history, but whose patterns can be analyzed and quantified on a larger scale than previously thought possible. Through the use of Inglehart–Welzel cultural clusters, we show that gender inequality can be analyzed with regard to world’s cultures. We also show a steadily improving trend in the coverage of women and other genders in reference works.

Eating Practices

This article presents the results of a comparative study conducted in France, Mali, and Morocco, and it seeks to understand the food cultures of immigrants and immigrants’ children, as well as their evolution across space and time. This survey shows that, according to the context, children reproduce certain of their parents’ norms, representations, and practices, as well as some that are dominating in the country of origin, which are also transformed on a local and on a global scale. There is no transition to a model that would break with the old one and would superimpose on that of the society of residence. The various eating styles of immigrants, as well as of immigrants’ children, fashion themselves and are transformed according to the evolution of family situations, socio-cultural characteristics, and economic resources. Individuals adapt to different social and commensal situations, shifting from a cultural register to another.

Xinyang dialects have their own intricate characteristics. On the basis of field investigation, this paper compares, describes and analyzes the differences between Xinyang dialects and Putonghua, Xinyang dialects and other dialects in terms of semantic domain. The differences between Xinyang dialects and Putonghua in the number of elements are mainly manifested in the sememes that represent space and time or are related to them. Due to the blurred boundaries caused by the continuity of these sememes, the scope of the sememes of the same shape is different. However, there are differences in the amount of element content of sememe, which are embodied in the concept of sememe reference in some dialects and the concept of reference species in others. This paper makes a comparative analysis of the features of other dialects, excavates the content of sememe in Xinyang dialects, and finds out the scope of words and their special combination characteristics.

National Framework

When the state expands into territories contested by armed non-state actors with the goal of pacifying and integrating them into the broader national framework, the results are hardly the same across space and time. This state expansion will often witness a reduction in violence mirrored by an improvement in order. Quite frequently however, violence will increase as order worsens, thus begging the following question: how is the state able to reclaim control of certain disputed spaces easier than others?This article is a comparative study of three municipalities in northeast Colombia – Arauca, Arauquita, and Tame - which acted as laboratories for former President Álvaro Uribe’s state expansion campaign beginning in 2002. The former Colombian president selected these three locations, amongst others, to serve as a testing ground for an American counterinsurgency strategy which was designed to expel armed rebels from their havens and to recover this territory back into the national fold. However, whereas the military succeeded in defeating the insurgents in Arauca within five years of this intervention, Arauquita and Tame remain guerrilla strongholds to the present. These case studies provide an effective reference to examine past policies in the hopes that new ones can avoid similarly inconsistent outcomes.Key Words: Arauca, Arauquita, Tame, State expansion, Counterinsurgency, Guerrilla, Insurgent resistance, Territorial controlEXPANSIÓN ESTATAL, RESISTENCIA INSURGENTE, Y CONTROL TERRITORIAL EN ARAUCA 2002-2010Cuando el Estado se expande en los territorios en disputa por los grupos al margen de la ley, con el fin de apaciguar e integrarlos en el marco nacional, casi nunca los resultados son iguales a lo largo de tiempo y del espacio. A veces esta expansión estatal reduce la violencia y también la acompañada por un mejoramiento en el orden público. Sin embargo, frecuentemente en muchos casos la violencia aumenta  y el orden público empeora, un fenómeno que nos lleva a la siguiente pregunta: ¿cómo se puede reclamar el control del Estado en unas zonas en disputa más fácil que en otras?Este artículo es un estudio comparado de tres municipios contiguos en el nororiente colombiano – Arauca, Arauquita, y Tame – que sirvieron como los primeros laboratorios para la política contrainsurgente del entonces presidente Álvaro Uribe Velez en el 2002. El ex-mandatorio eligió estos tres sitios, entre otros, para probar la estrategia contrainsurgente concebida en los EEUU, la cual fue diseñada para expulsar a los insurgentes de sus remansos y recuperar este territorio permanentemente. Cabe mencionar, que mientras la fuerza pública colombiana logró derrotar a los insurgentes en Arauca después de cinco años de dicha intervención, Arauquita y Tame siguen siendo bastiones guerrilleros hasta el presente. Estos tres casos proporcionan una buena referencia para evaluar las políticas de ayer, con la esperanza que las próximas podrían evadir los resultados tan inconsistentes.Palabras Clave: Arauca, Arauquita, Tame, Expansión estatal, Contrainsurgente, Guerrilla, Resistencia insurgente, Control territorial
