The Proper Class Generated by Weak Supplements

Abstract: We show that, for hereditary rings, the smallest proper classes containing respectively the classes of short exact sequences determined by small submodules, submodules that have supplements and weak supplement submodules coincide. Moreover, we show that this class can be obtained as a natural extension of the class determined by small submodules. We also study injective, projective, coinjective and coprojective objects of this class. We prove that it is coinjectively generated and its global dimension is at most 1. Finally, we describe this class for Dedekind domains in terms of supplement submodules.

Explaining the Complex Effect of Construal Level on Moral and Political Attitudes

Abstract: The literature on construal-level theory has provided a rich but complex set of findings regarding how abstract and concrete construals affect moral and political attitudes. One set of findings sug...

Stochastic maximum principle for switching systems

Abstract: This paper provides necessary conditions of optimality, in the form of a maximum principle, for optimal control problems of switching systems Dynamics of the constituent processes take the form of stochastic differential equations with control terms in the drift and diffusion coefficients The restrictions on the transitions or switches between operating modes, are described by collections of functional equality constraints

Populism with a Ph.D: education levels and populist leaders

Abstract: Whether we define populism as an ideology, an aesthetic style, or a political strategy, populism is directed against a perceived elite and academic expertise. Yet we have seen several cases of academics who have adopted a populist style in their political careers: Pim Fortuyn (The Netherlands), Pablo Iglesias (Spain), Bernd Lucke (Germany), Christoph Morgeli (Switzerland), and Yanis Varoufakis (Greece). This article examines how these academic populists address this apparent contradiction by construing ‘the people’ and ‘the elite’, thus that it furthers their own political persona.

Embodied spaces of resistance

Abstract: Synopsis May 27, 2013 marked the beginning of a series of nationwide public protests in Turkey, which originated as a small scale sit-in at Gezi, a central park in Taksim, Istanbul, to protest urban renewal plans for the area. Shortly, their agenda broadened to cover the authoritarian policies of the Prime Minister and his Islamist government. The protests are open to interpretation and analysis at many levels ranging from economics and politics to cultural and social issues. Here I focus on the articulation of space, discourse and subjectivity by looking at specific instances of the Gezi movement. Drawing from the work of critical theorists of space, I argue from a Deleuzian perspective that during the protests, spaces and spatial practices have been not only explicitly sexualized but also binary pairs of woman/man and private/public have been creatively deterritorialized, and paved the way for alternative trajectories of political action.
