Scholars from different fields of knowledge agree that storytelling has gained particular relevance in the current context, as noted in Corporate Communication. The term "corporate storytelling" has already been coined to refer to the stories that companies tell their stakeholders. We have found several studies that try to shed light on the nature, scope, and limitations of storytelling in the corporate world from different approaches and methods. This research presents a critical review of this literature. It highlights that the absence of conceptual unity and methodological approaches validated by the scientific community has made storytelling a topic about which much has been written without offering articulated knowledge or practical solutions for its application to develop a company's communication strategy.

This article offers methodological and theoretical reflections based on the interdisciplinary project "Algorithmic Identities." Initiated in 2019 between researchers from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and the University of Warwick (UK), this project seeks to understand how personhood is configured in times of algorithms and digital data. We designed a prototype app, "Big Sister," which emulates algorithmic profiling and recommendation systems of major digital platforms. This prototype has served as a twofold social research device. Firstly, it allowed us to produce knowledge from a critical and decolonial doing and undoing; secondly, through digital trace interviews with prototype users, we explored their experiences and stimulate reflection on the mediations of algorithms in their lives. This article examines the prototyping process of this app and some findings of how people in Chile understand, inhabit, and shape data and algorithms daily. Drawing on insights from Latin American authors such as Arturo Escobar, Jesús Martín-Barbero, and Paulo Freire, we argue how the prototyping of an app can move towards a "problematizing" approach to datafication and algorithmic systems in Latin America.

This essay is a reflection from some health research experiences with a cartographic approach and field diary records. More than a mere recording instrument, the cartographic diary is an empirical multi-media, multi-lingual, multi-voice and, especially, multi-time, collective narrative of affectivity, a singular and collective tool produced at the meeting. To register a cartographic research is to enter a temporal dimension, an intuitive action that updates the past because it is written "from within" the meetings, and includes the subjects' voices. In cartography, the presence of the narrator in the text is not a bias, but a condition, with different modes of entry, narrative co-authorship or views from the points of view. Any variation of any of the three main discursive modes is used to cite the other: direct speech, indirect or free indirect, but especially the latter, because it allows maximum speech interference.

This review article and theoretical analysis is derived from multicentric research "Disciplinary knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and situated learning: genesis and mutual influences on university education", developed with Faculties of Health Sciences and Education in Universities of Spain, Brazil, Colombia and Chile. It aims to deepen the epistemological, theoretical and methodological perspective of the study as an innovative route in qualitative research, therefore, the epistemological foundations of Symbolic Interactionism are presented, which is based on the understanding of society through communication and allows to give meaning to human processes, such as the dialogical processes between teachers and students, analyzing the repercussions that it has on their learning. The theoretical perspective of the Ethnography of Communication that focuses on the analysis of the sociolinguistic patterns with which people interact, being a priority to know the meaning of verbal and non-verbal communication in this situation; and the microethnographic methodological perspective that achieves an understanding of the verbal and social interactions between teachers and students, through non-participant observations and "Think aloud" interviews.

The asthma is a disease which is characterized by the intermittent airway obstruction to the air-flow. Its world prevalence ranges between 1-24%. It courses clinically with dyspnea, cough, wheezing and/or chest pain. The degree of adherence to the treatment and disease control are influenced by the acceptance of the disease by the patients, their knowledge about it, and their strategy of coping with the asthma. This paper aims to provide a holistic and interdisciplinary point of view of the disease. We have conducted an interview in depth and a history of life of Daniel, our informer. We have collected and interpreted his experience of the disease with biographic and descriptive characteristic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
