Reinterpreting Theories of Legislative Organization. Committee chair selection in the non-majoritarian stage of the Mexican Cámara de Diputados (1997-2018) by Sergio A. Bárcena Juárez

“…After analyzing chair appointment procedures in the Mexican Chamber through an original database comprising biographical, institutional, partisan and electoral information of 3,470 legislators across seven legislative periods (1997-2018), I have found evidence to sustain that – as long as certain internal and external conditions are met (formal decision-making authority of committees, the absence of a partisan cartel and electoral competitiveness) – merit-based appointments expected by the informative theory, as well as constituent-oriented chair selection proposed by the distributive theory, can be met in congresses lacking reelection incentives and seniority norms.…”

Innocence and danger at the border: migrants, “Bad” mothers, and the nation’s protectors by John R. Parsons, Sara Riva

Despite their innocence, to maintain the narrative’s consistency, militia members still consider migrant women criminals for crossing the border “illegally.” …”

Títulos y epígrafes en el díptico de la guerra por las drogas de Don Winslow by Javier Rodríguez Pequeño

“…Genette llamó paratextualidad, es decir la relación que el texto mantiene con su paratexto, en lo que vamos a referirnos como el díptico de la guerra por las drogas, esto es, la gran novela que componen El poder del perro y El cártel de Don Winslow. Los elementos paratextuales, especialmente los títulos de las partes y capítulos y los epígrafes, constituyen un discurso paralelo que sintetiza y anticipa, que ayuda al lector a crear un contexto de recepción, al tiempo que confiere a la historia un valor de literariedad, en lo que se une a otros procedimientos como la agilidad de los diálogos, las prolepsis de ambos comienzos y la distancia en busca de objetividad e intriga con respecto a ciertas escenas.   …”
