Entre a posição e as práticas: classes médias nas perspectivas de Erik Olin Wright e Pierre Bourdieu by Luís Fernando Santos Corrêa da Silva

“…It is concluded that while Wright takes interest in reshaping the theoretical grounds ofMarxism to understand the class structure in the contemporary capitalism, by problematising the middle class as a heterogeneous social layer, Bourdieu is interested in the symbolic constructions sustaining a concept ofmiddle class which undertakes strategies to diferentiate itself from popular classes by valorising scarce or found to be superfluous cultural goods by those who are close to the border of basic-needs.…”

Analysis of Spatial and Temporal Evolution of Water Resources Carrying Capacity in Jilin Province Based on Improved TOPSISI Model by HOU Yue, LI Zhijun, WANG Huafan, HUANG Jiajun

“…The carrying capacity state of water resources is an important reference for stable social and economic development.On the basis of the water resources bulletins,statistical yearbooks,and national economic and social development bulletins of Jilin Province from 2004 to 2019,18 indicators such as the development and utilization rate of water resources are selected,and four evaluation subsystems including one for water resources are constructed.Moreover,the TOPSIS model based on the game theory and the combination weighting method is used to analyze the spatial and temporal evolution of water resources carrying capacity (WRCC) and the coupling coordination in the nine administrative divisions of Jilin Province.The results indicate that except for Changchun City,Baicheng City,and Siping City,where the multi-year WRCC is in Class Ⅲ,i.e.…”
