On 1 August 2017 Santiago Maldonado, a young artisan and tattoo artist, vanished in the midst of a crackdown by the national Gendarmerie on a Mapuche community in the south of Argentina. Soon after, his disappearance became a theme of national anguish and debate. While seemingly quite different from forced disappearances carried out during the last civil-military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983) this case has been inscribed in the ongoing debate about the possibilities and implications of coming to terms with the past. In this paper I explore the different social, political and legal processes that followed in the wake of Maldonado’s disappearance. Through the case, I consider the power of human rights discourse in the country as well as the rise and institutionalization of an alternative narrative advanced by the right-leaning political elite. Ultimately, I show that the assumptions underlying transitional justice mechanisms, specifically, the possibility of handling the past to such an extent that it can be “put behind” and “overcome” are flawed.

The starting point of our article is the subway map as a mediating interface between the territory and the user of the transmission network. This map is a topographic representation, with the Beck diagram, has evolved into a topological model. Our methodological approach has four points: the metro map seen as a dialogue between topography and topology; the map used as a viewing system; interactive map as spatial metaphor and the card as knowledge representation model. On this basis, we want to show this card, excluding geographical context, is a form of visual metaphor. Our work shows the importance of information visualization and its spatial representations with Metro metaphor. Our goal will be to establish bridges between the conceptual spatial metaphor and cognitive metaphor interactive maps to move towards the use of the subway map as a visual representation of universal knowledge.

Nowadays, we can already see that Russian industry steady transition into postindustrial economy causes the development of hypercompetition in a number of sectors. The study focuses on the main characteristics of hypercompetition as the consequence of traditional industrial enterprise environment characteristics changing from bad to worse. The authors also provide the results of degree evaluation of hypercompetition resistance of small enterprises in 5 main industries of manufacturing sector. It is also shown that the small firms that produce electrical equipment have a higher probability of success in protecting their competitive advantages. Pulp and paper production as well as printing and publishing industries have the lowest chances of success. To protect enterprises from hypercompetition, the authors offer a model of enterprise’s dynamic capability development on the basis of resource-based view. From this point of view, they classify enterprise’s resources according to the degree of their influence on the competitive abilities of the latter. More-over, an approach to the evaluation of position of the point of making proactive management decision is formed.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo principal explicitar a tematização de Althusser sobre o fenômeno da ideologia ao longo de suas principais obras. Desse modo, o leitor terá a oportunidade de visualizar concretamente a utilização do critério espistemológico na determinação do fenômeno ideológico, bem como a aproximação teórica que o referido autor realiza com o problema do inconsciente, sobretudo no Ensaio sobre os Aparelhos Ideológicos de Estado.

Este trabalho faz parte de um debate sobre a temática da qualidade de vida e do envelhecimento saudável que emerge recentemente e sobre a qual a área da Comunicação - a mídia de massa e outros veículos impressos e audiovisuais - ocupa um lugar fundamental. A Comunicação exerce um papel de mediadora dos processos de ressignificação do envelhecimento e da saúde. Para compreendê-lo, é preciso um primeiro passo, o objetivo deste artigo: demonstrar como as sociedades contemporâneas chegaram a um movimento em que a vida pessoal cada vez mais se torna uma questão pública e como a Comunicação participa ativamente deste processo. Para chegarmos a esta compreensão, este artigo demonstra que o curso de vida em idades cronológicas -- e, a vida como um trajetória, em etapas, tal como infância, adolescência, idade adulta e envelhecimento, que deve ser gerenciada -- é uma construção cada vez mais institucionalizada e típica das sociedades contemporâneas, embora atualmente os sentidos para as etapas da vida se transformem em função de mudanças sociais e culturais.
