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.…”

A reliance on human habitats is key to the success of an introduced predatory reptile. by Tom Major, Lauren Jeffrey, Guillem Limia Russel, Rebecca Bracegirdle, Antonio Gandini, Rhys Morgan, Benjamin Michael Marshall, John F Mulley, Wolfgang Wüster

“…Commensal species which can live alongside humans by making use of specific conditions, structures, or prey, have a significant advantage. Introduced mammal species often use anthropogenic features in their environment and demonstrate a higher tolerance of human disturbance, but their importance remains understudied in ectotherms. …”

Le diverse facce della montagna in declino: un’esperienza lombarda by Luisa Pedrazzini

“…The article aims to contribute to current studies, supporting and integrating the thesis of the complex mosaic of the Alpine space, focusing the attention in particular to the Lombardy’s mountain, where fallow lands show different characterizations, typologies and spatial structures. Taking into account the typological and territorial differences of Lombardy, the resulting picture can be considered as representative of a large part of the southern alpine face. …”
