6 p, 142.2 KB A Note on the Impossibility of a Satisfactory Concept of Stability for Coalition Formation Games / Barberà, Salvador 1946- (Department of Economics and Economic History. Center for the study of the Organizations and Decisions in Economics (CODE). Research Group Coalitions, Incentives, and Networks in Collective Choices) ; Gerber, Anke (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona)
We show that no solution to coalition formation games can satisfy a set of axioms that we propose as reasonable. Our result points out that "solutions" to the coalition formation cannot be interpreted as "resting points" in the way stable coalition structures are usually interpreted.

27 p, 618.8 KB El autor y el personaje : una lectura de 'Tiempos de arroz y sal' de Kim Stanley Robinson / Martín Alegre, Sara (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona)
El siguiente ensayo ofrece una lectura de la novela de historia alternativa de Kim Stanley Robinson The Years of Rice and Salt (Tiempos de arroz y sal) de 2002, que pone en primer plano la propia voz del autor y se centra a continuación en la caracterización. [...]
El contacto directo con Robinson en el curso de la escritura de un capítulo sobre esta novela última llevó al autor a sugerirme que escribiera sobre Tiempos de arroz y sal desde una posición académica que abordara la autoría y la caracterización utilizando un marco teórico menos rígido. [...]
La fructífera conversación con Robinson, en resumen, me ha llevado a reflexionar sobre cómo producimos crítica literaria hoy en día basada en las obras de autores vivos. La tesis (y posición) que defiendo aquí es que la voz del autor, tal como se expresa en las entrevistas o en contacto personal, debe integrarse en la crítica literaria, y también que la caracterización debe examinarse más a fondo como un proceso de creación aún muy misterioso. [...]
