Conflict in Catalonia: A Sociological Approximation
This article follows the approach originally pioneered by Juan Linz to the empirical study of nationalism. We make use of original survey data to situate the emergent social division around the question of independence within a broader constellation of power relations. We bring into focus a variety of demographic, cultural, behavioral and attitudinal indicators with which this division is associated. We emphasize the special salience of language …
Sotos Ochando’s language movement
Usually relegated to a footnote in the historical accounts of planned languages, Sotos Ochando’s Lengua Universal was most likely the first to give rise to a planned language movement. Contrary to later language movements, Sotos Ochando’s had no competing planned language movements to challenge it. Sotos Ochando’s Lengua Universal was also unique in that it was a philosophical language, much like those created in the 17th-century. This article ex…
Spelling reformers and artificial language advocates: A shifting relation
This article explores the shifting relations that took place from the last decades of the 19th to the first years of the 20th century between two of the most innovative language movements of the time: the spelling reform and the artificial language movements. The article focuses on the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and France. Although both movements shared a similar language ideology which run counter to the organicist perception of…
Religion and artificial languages at the turn of the twentieth century: Ostwald and Zamenhof
What kinds of ideas and motivations drove artificial language promoters to face the skepticism, if not the mockery, of public opinion and advocate for one or another artificial language as the best solution to the communication predicament of the world? Were they purely instrumental ideas, or were they part and parcel of a distinctively religious agenda? This article contends that very much like other social and political movements of the turn of…
A batalha das línguas artificiais (volapük, o primeiro ator)
Este artigo faz parte de um projeto de pesquisa em andamento sobre a batalha das línguas artificiais (volapük, esperanto e ido) que ocorreu na virada do século xx, quando a ausência de uma língua franca e as demandas de um mundo mais globalizado fizeram algumas pessoas acreditar que uma língua artificial podia ser a solução para a dificuldade de comunicação do mundo. O artigo baseia-se nas literaturas sobre padronização e path dependence [dependê…
Embedded Play: Economic and Social Motivations for Sharing Lottery Tickets
We ask why people play the lottery in syndicates. Sharing lottery tickets with co-workers, friends or relatives may create agency problems related to opportunism in addition to the fact that playing the lottery in general is tantamount to buying an asset with negative expected value. Although it might be argued that people share lottery tickets in order to maximize their chances of winning a prize, it is also plausible that they engage in this pr…
Syndication, Institutionalization, and Lottery Play
Why do people play the lottery? Since lottery tickets are assets with negative expected return, lottery play challenges the basic assumptions of economic theory. This article approaches lottery play from a networks perspective and focuses on syndicate play. A comparison of the development of lottery markets in Germany, Austria, Spain, and Portugal from the 17th century onward shows that lottery play declined with rising incomes except in countrie…

The Professional Blind in Spain
The professional blind (people who use their blindness as a source of income) occupy a special place in Spain. The case shows how social conditions and self-organisation can allow disadvantaged groups to escape from a welfare dependency which is sometimes seen as inevitable. In most western countries, the blind beggars of the middle ages have become today's welfare clients. In Spain, the blind control their own national lottery and thereby have a…
Corporatism, public policy and welfare: The case of the Spanish blind
A general assumption in the literature on corporatism is that corporatist arrangements are unlikely to occur in the welfare arena. This literature has further predicted that for a corporatist arrangement to emerge in the welfare arena, it would have to be promoted by professional groups. This article analyses a case which runs contrary to this common understanding: that of a corporatist arrangement promoted by welfare recipients, in this case, th…
