Vinegar Tom: Women’s Oppression through Patriarchal- Capitalist Dominations

Fundamental Dominations in Graphs

Nine variations of the concept of domination in a simple graph are identified as fundamental domination concepts, and a unified approach is introduced for studying them. For each variation, the minimum cardinality of a subset of dominating elements is the corresponding fundamental domination number. It is observed that, for each nontrivial connected graph, at most five of these nine numbers can...

Linking Dominations and Signatures in Network Reliability

Comparing the reliability of two networks of more than modest size can be a computationally intensive exercise. In this paper, domination theory and the notion of the signature of a network, and their respective roles in calculating the reliability of a network, are briefly reviewed. The computational advantages of the former, and the interpretive richness of the latter, beg the question: how a...

This raises the question of collective responsibility. I argue that we can only determine who is responsible for oppression if we understand oppression as a matter of social practices that create obstacles for socia...
