This paper deals with CELAM's II Conference (Medellín, 1968) reception of collegiality and communion, and shows that, even if the Conference did not talk about synodality, it anticipated the idea. It assumes that synodality is a way of being and operating in the Church that defines pastoral work. Thus, it explains that Medellín was original in the use of an enlarged notion of collegiality, which would lead to the actual use of the term synodality. The paper stresses the importance of the main speakers at the Conference for the correct assimilation of such ideas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores the principle of subsidiarity in light of the provisions set out in Praedicate evangelium, taking its cue from the lively canonical debate on the subject and the immediate premises of the current legislation. The content and scope of the principle evince difficult compatibility with the canonical order and the need to defer to other categories (co-responsibility and decentralization). The reform of the Roman Curia has undoubtedly promoted organizational decentralization and co-responsibility in particular Churches and Episcopal Conferences. What emerges above all is a commitment on the part to the Curia to coordinate, promote and integrate the work of bishops and episcopal conferences. The norms regarding decentralization, however, require some hermeneutical clarification or refinement and appropriate technical-procedural support. A more in-depth ecclesiological-canonical understanding of some of the basic notions used (such as communion, mission, collegiality, synodality and decentralization) might benefit the development of the system, so as to guarantee rights as well as the rationale and functionality of the Curia’s work.

This paper reviews the five General Conferences of the Latin American Episcopate held over the course of half a century, from the first one, held in Rio, until the most recent one in Aparecida. To facilitate the understanding of these Conferences, the theological context of each is recalled and some of the main points of their "Conclusions" are indicated. These Episcopal Assemblies prove that there is a specifically Latin American pastoral theology. Nonetheless, if before one had to prevent Eurocentric exaggerations, it is currently necessary that one avoid excessive Latin Americanism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Clinical Engineering has been seen as a professional activity but there is an academic divulgation interest that has made it to be included as a theme in biomedical engineering conferences. The papers presented in the last five years in academic events at national, Latin-American and international levels, were analyzed to observe the Clinical Engineering development and the tendencies that could be obtained form these presentations. According to the main Clinical Engineering activities, each work was classified. In total, 29 papers were presented in the national conference, 71 in the Latin-American and 317 in the international one. Most of the national conference works were on Technology Management, while for the Latin-American meetings were on Technology Assessment and in the international one, including telemedicine, on Technology Development. The medical assistance is changing from a mainly hospital environment to a diffuse one, spread into smaller health providers or even as homecare; this represents new challenges to Clinical Engineering to be solved.

In the summer of 1960 Foucault wrote to Blumenberg concerning the organization of a conference by Maurice de Gandillac at the University of Hamburg. The conference was not held and Foucault and Blumenberg did not meet. Additionally to this failed encounter, Foucault ignored or was not interested in Blumenberg's works, nor Blumenberg in Foucault's works. But there is a main aspect in which the thought of both authors could posthumously be complemented: in a “political metaphorology". In this paper I deal on what is perhaps the highest intellectual convergence between Blumenberg's and Foucault's works, that is to say, a metaphorology of power. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
