O projeto “Espaço Social: identidades, memórias e culturas” foi aprovado em edital e cadastrado na Pró-Reitoria de Extensão (PROEX), Área Cultura (Cota PROBEX 2016-2017). A nossa proposta de extensão partiu de diálogos realizados entre um grupo interdisciplinar e interinstitucional de professores/pesquisadores, que estão vinculados às universidades e outras instituições no estado da Paraíba. Esses profissionais das Humanidades fizeram reflexões no campo da História, Sociologia, Geografia, Pedagogia e Letras, totalizando 12 módulos. Esse exercício demonstrou a possibilidade de fomentar discussões complementares ao processo formativo aos egressos e acadêmicos das instituições de ensino superior, oriundos dos cursos de Ciências Humanas. O projeto foi realizado aos sábados, a partir da garantia de um espaçamento para evitar o comprometimento de outras atividades dos extensionistas e para não tornar tão oneroso o deslocamento. Destarte, vemos o caráter desse empreendimento com o envolvimento e a colaboração de pesquisadores de várias áreas do conhecimento, cujas perspectivas permitem uma visualização por diversos ângulos acerca da temática em questão. Totalizou como carga horária 180h, atendendo um público de egressos e de estudantes, que necessitaram de horas complementares na carga horária da graduação.

Esta reseña tiene por objeto rescatar los principales elementos expuestos en el trabajo de un grupo de investigadores provenientes de distintas disciplinas, que nos presentan desde su título como una "caja de herramientas" para los fines de la investigación en las ciencias humanas. En la búsqueda de nuevas perspectivas de análisis metodológico, nos plantean a lo largo de la obra recomendaciones para el abordaje de la estructura general de la investigación como también sugerencias para el trabajo sobre distintos estilos de fuentes, que van desde las tradicionales hasta las redes sociales.

Neste ensaio tecemos algumas reflexões acerca dos tensionamentos ocasionados pela ofensiva antigênero no contexto brasileiro, principalmente, no que se refere aos ataques e perseguições às pesquisas e pesquisadores/as que investigam as temáticas de gênero e sexualidade no campo das humanidades. Consideramos que o debate em torno dessas questões surge enquanto uma pauta urgente na contemporaneidade, uma vez que esse movimento de caráter neoconservador e religioso busca reter avanços no campo dos direitos sexuais, reprodutivos e na implementação de políticas públicas voltadas às mulheres, pessoas não heterossexuais e outros dissidentes da ordem sexual e/ou de gênero. Dessa ótica, sinalizamos a necessidade de constituirmos estratégias políticas e pedagógicas de enfrentamento às práticas lgbtfóbicas, sexistas, machistas, dentre tantas outras violações que ainda são reproduzidas no âmbito da sociedade.

The objective was to analyze assertive communication in careers of Social Sciences, Legal Sciences and Humanities at the University of Boyacá. The research was analytical, with a non-experimental field design where the population consisted of all professors and students of the aforementioned careers. A sample was calculated for the case of students of n = 198, with a population N = 405, a margin of error of 5% and a reliability of 95%. It is concluded that there is a tendency towards the consistent practice of assertiveness, although the degree to which this practice is reached is medium. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The apparent lack of practicality of the contents generated in the social sciences and humanities (CSH), results in the approach of the problem of this research, since contrary to other scientific disciplines that are associated with the direct application of knowledge in practice, here, we look for to identify possibilities by linking the higher education sectors with social entities, taking as a reference for this, the concretion of a knowledge transfer model (TC) specific to the CSH and their respective operating mechanisms, which allows a process of connection between the educational and social sectors. From the identification of the TC model and mechanisms based on the review of the literature, a mixed type investigation was carried out: (1) with the participation of 17 experts from the area of organizational management and 13 social entities, where through focus groups a validation process was carried out; and (2) the application of a questionnaire to 222 teachers in the area of CSH assigned to higher education and representatives of 24 social entities, who evaluated the relevance of the model and the mechanisms of the TC, as well as the possible barriers that they would face in their application. The result of the investigation allowed us to identify various conditions and characteristics on the ways of executing the processes, as well as the aspects that surrounds this kind of proposal in terms of their implications, limitations and strengths that favor bringing this kind of initiatives to a reality.

Esse ensaio parte do pressuposto de que existe uma crise institucional nas universidades globais, na qual a formação humanística tem sido desconsiderada no processo cada vez maior de valorização de um tipo de racionalidade técnico-científica. O ensaio, portanto, tem por objetivo apresentar uma discussão acerca desse tema num diálogo com os pressupostos teóricos que lidam com a racionalização da sociedade e os processos de desencantamento decorrentes da modernização. Assim, propõe um diálogo com autores e concepções que nos ajudam a refletir sobre o papel das humanidades no âmbito do fazer ciência e institucional das universidades. As reflexões apontam para novas racionalidades, e que tenham compromissos mais amplos com os conceitos de desenvolvimento e construção do conhecimento e para a necessidade das humanidades se reinventarem e se revitalizarem.

This article analyzes the academic and employment trajectories of Uruguayans with doctoral degrees in the social sciences and humanities, based on information from the First Census of Doctoral Degrees in Uruguay, carried out in 2017. The Uruguayan case combines the delayed development of graduate study with high rates of emigration. The project explores contextual, institutional, and occupational aspects. The results indicate that 90% of the respondents in the areas of interest earned their degree abroad, and that 70% reside in Uruguay. The proportion of females has increased significantly in recent generations. Unemployment is low and most work in academic institutions. In some disciplines, professional performance is more extensive, while the humanities face serious difficulties in the availability of fulltime work in research institutions. The differences are reflected in reported job satisfaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivo: con este artículo se busca reconocer la relevancia de la investigación cualitativa para los estudiantes de las ciencias humanas y sociales; ya que, desde el principio la educación debe posibilitar la construcción entre el ser y el saber. Metodología: a partir de una revisión teórica se identificaron los principios rectores de la investigación cualitativa y su aplicación a las ciencias humanas y sociales. Hallazgo: es importante señalar que la profesionalización tiene una relación directa con la investigación; es fundamental que los egresados cuenten con habilidades investigativas adquiridas desde la academia. Conclusión: la formación de la investigación en la educación superior debe propender por el desarrollo de un pensamiento crítico y reflexivo sobre las necesidades de la sociedad y principalmente de las comunidades; para ello, se deben proponer actividades académicas en cada seminario que permitan dichos análisis.

Este artículo de reflexión presenta varios aspectos sobre las humanidades vistas desde diferentes perspectivas. El objetivo de este artículo consiste en reflexionar sobre los espacios de las humanidades en la educación superior, con el fin de formar personas íntegras y con ética profesional. El artículo detalla los aspectos teóricos y conceptuales sobre las humanidades. Así mismo, ofrece una propuesta para el fortalecimiento de la competencia humana vista desde diversos ámbitos (la familia, la sociedad, la educación, la naturaleza, el arte y las profesiones). Para finalizar, desarrolla algunas conclusiones estableciendo que las humanidades deben ser aplicadas en cualquier contexto tanto académico como social.

The article deals with the analysis of the sociality construction in Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit, which is the prerequisite for the development of current social and humanitarian knowledge. The author introduces the idea that a decisive factor for the formation of the Method of the Humanities and Social Sciences is Hegel's reconsideration of the idea of the immediacy of social relations as a subject for philosophical consideration. Sociality construction, compared to the uncritical perception of Society as an object that is available for observation as a natural object, provides a consistent and methodically substantiated disclosure of the essential characteristics of social life. In The Phenomenology of Spirit, Hegel describes Sociality forms as necessary steps for the movement of the spirit toward self-cognition. Reasonable development of social relations is based on their sphere of selfconsciousness attributes, which unlike the previous formations of the consciousness (die Gestalt and die Gestaltung that in various English translations are form, mode, shape, and figure) reveal that truth is not in the object but in unity with the self. Thus, the most significant discovery of the philosopher is that consciousness "pushes its boundaries" and overcomes imaginary singularity. In addition, "the doubling of consciousness" contributes to the formation of sociality as a sphere in which the spirit is capable of revealing substance concretion. The concept of sociality, which is first described in the chapter on consciousness, is revealed in the subsequent sections. As a result, social relations become the main concept of Hegel's work. The development of this concept is not only philosophically and systematically significant. As it is presented in this article, social relations substantiate the possibility of overcoming subjective, for example, "evaluative" approaches to the consideration of social life based on the idea of the immediacy of social relations. Moreover, this concept reveals the essential nature of sociality formation and its existence in various forms of spirit. The results of this research can be regarded as verification of the provision that the method of sociality construction presented in The Phenomenology of Spirit provides cognition of social life via rational means and the argumentativeness of social and humanitarian knowledge. Thus, the foundations for the scientific study of human and society can be developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Starting from the fact that an epidemic outbreak has become the pandemic that has affected humanity the most in the last century, an answer is provided by means of four successive questions: is an epidemic a natural phenomenon?, how has been the social response to epidemics?, is covid-19 a pandemic?, and, social sciences and humanities for the management of the pandemic? There are no obvious answers; it is argued that in order to present plausible answers, the interactions between biological and cultural issues must be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El fortalecimiento de habilidades socioemocionales es un desafío para los ámbitos laboral, político y educativo, e indica una ruta para comprender el desarrollo de las experiencias emocionales: propósito de la educación emocional. El objetivo de este artículo fue determinar, en resultados investigativos realizados por educadores, principios y acciones para la comprensión de los episodios emocionales en educación que podrían contribuir con la formación humanística. La metodología correspondió a una revisión narrativa de carácter selectivo. Los criterios de inclusión se determinaron por aspectos temporales (2000-2018), de publicación (revistas situadas en sistemas y bases internacionales: Scopus, Science Direct, Ebsco, Proquest, Dialnet), tipología (estudios teóricos, de revisión o reflexión; investigaciones cualitativas o cuantitativas; investigaciones realizadas por educadores en el aula). Los resultados trazan principios orientadores como la comprensión del acto educativo como un acto emocional, la consideración de la complejidad y la dimensión múltiple de las emociones, así como la atención a teorías de aprendizaje que contribuyan con el desarrollo emocional. Tanto los principios como las acciones halladas fundamentan las prácticas para comprender el desarrollo emocional en el ámbito educativo y podrían contribuir con la formación humana de los actores educativos.

El artículo responde a una convocatoria que se pregunta por los “estudios humanísticos multidisciplinares”, por las relaciones entre “investigación y sociedad” y por los “desafíos y posibilidades de relevancia y visibilidad de la investigación académica”. Para hacerlo emplaza a los “estudios humanísticos” en la “constitución de humanidad”, la que considera que es “conflictiva y nunca acabada”.En un primer punto se refiere a “estudios humanísticos”, discierne dos sentidos de “humanidades” y se refiere a la constitución de humanidad a través de tres imperativos categóricos que remiten a Kant y su humanismo crítico, a Marx y su humanismo de la praxis, y a Martí cuyo humanismo nuestroamericano, resignifica los anteriores desde otro lugar. Se exploran algunas claves del humanismo nuestroamericano, se elucida el “nosotros” implícito en Nuestra América de Martí de 1891 al que se considera en términos del “a priori antropológico”.En la última sección se procede a una puesta al día en el marco de las perspectivas analítico-crítico-normativas sobre los conceptos Sujeto, Transmodernidad e Interculturalidad. Se muestran las relaciones constitutivas entre estos tres tópicos que se señalan como utópicos, como “ausencias presentes” que vienen operando con creciente presencia en los actuales procesos de transformación del mundo, en cuanto implican humanización. Se concluye reivindicando el papel de los estudios humanísticos desde la academia en su articulación con la sociedad en la constitución de humanidad; una responsabilidad que nos concierne a todos, responsabilidad a la que los “estudios humanísticos” a través de “humanidades” en clave crítica de “ciencia con consciencia” aportan significativamente.

After referring to the abundant, severe, and accurate criticisms received by the first version of the Ranking de visibilidad e impacto de revistas científicas españolas de Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales con sello de calidad Fecyt (published in September 2019), a review of the changes introduced in the new version (January 2020) is provided. This piece continues to reflect on the flimsy foundations in which this ranking is based, and counters the arguments offered by its authors to defend its suitability. Potential harmful effects of this new ranking on the ecosystem of Spanish scientific journals in the areas of Social Sciences and Humanities are described. Lastly, the text concludes by pointing out that the design approach of this ranking is old and obsolete, as it is based on measuring the impact of containers (journals) instead of the impact of the content itself (articles).

This report identifies 50 editorial platforms for electronic journals from Spanish universities and CSIC (Spanish National Research Council). Quantitative data are provided on the number of journals published, their life and upgrade, disciplines covered, number of articles edited in 2019, types of journals by size, percentage of texts in English, number of co-edition cases, indexation in Web of Science and Scopus databases, as well as the number of journals that have obtained the Fecyt Quality seal. The editorial production of the Spanish universities and CSIC is dispersed in numerous titles with a small number of articles, a problem increased by the continuous appearance of new titles. These journals focus especially on disciplines of Social Sciences and Humanities. The current situation shows that practically half of the journals on these platforms are selected in one of the citation indexes (especially in ESCI, a secondary database within WoS), but only a quarter of them have obtained the Fecyt Quality seal. From the analysis, some recommendations are derived for the improvement of institutional portals for their periodicals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research addresses the editorial practices in terms of visibility carried out by Latin American scientific journals and their influential factors. The applied technique of data collection was surveyed. The sample was composed by journals classified in Scimago Journal & Country Rank (SJR), all of them associated to five subject categories in the Latin American context: Philosophy, Theology, Law, Political Science and Psychology. The main finding was that Web 2.0 tools are underused by the analyzed journals, we could infer that the positioning of a journal is not directly related with the usage of this kind of technological tools. From the results obtained, it is suggested, as a future research line, the identification of other factors that positively affect the visibility of the journals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Throughout modernity, scientific knowledge is established as the only true knowledge and some principles underlie its practices, among which we highlight the goal of domination of nature, the supremacy of the human species and the epistemological validity of fact. Nevertheless, the discoveries made by science enabled the questioning of some of its own grounds, such as human supremacy, and thus engendered the development of animal welfare arguments based on facts. In this context, the aim of this paper is to discuss how the development of knowledge about animals and their human relations has contributed to transformations of ethical emplacements that underlie the everyday actions. Through the dog Scooby case analysis, we see that despite some changes, human life has the privilege on the lives of other species.

En este Editorial, con motivo de cumplirse los 120 años de creación de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires [Filo: 120], se analizan los aportes de la Bibliotecología/Ciencia de la Información (B/CI) al campo disciplinar de las Ciencias Humanas. La B/CI, precisamente por su rica dualidad entre las Humanidades y las Ciencias Sociales, se configura como un área en “estado de apertura” a dichos campos. Entre los diversos puntos de confluencia o articulaciones culturales que puede brindar esta disciplina, se mencionan los siguientes: la amplitud de su concepto de “territorialidad compartida”, su capacidad para fomentar “la marginalidad creadora”, su intencionalidad manifiesta por lo multidisciplinar, su práctica profesional de índole bibliográfica y normativa, su coherencia discursiva para evitar la fragmentación y la parcelación de los objetos de estudio, su estrecho vínculo con los saberes académicos y populares, entre otros muchos. El Editorial finaliza con una reflexión sobre la capacidad de la B/CI para enlazar, tanto transversal como diagonalmente, al conjunto de las Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales. = In this Editorial, on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of creation of the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras at the Universidad de Buenos Aires [Filo: 120], the contributions of Library and Information Science (LIS) are analyzed to disciplinary field of Human Sciences. The LIS, precisely because of its rich duality between the Humanities and Social Sciences, is set as an area in a “state of openness” to these fields. Among the various points of confluence or cultural articulations that this discipline can provide, the following are mentioned: the breadth of its concept of “shared territoriality”; its ability to foster “creative marginality”; its intentionality manifested by the multidisciplinary practice; its professional practice of bibliographic and regulatory nature; its discursive coherence to avoid fragmentation and fragmentation of the objects of study; its close link with the academic and popular knowledge; among many others. The Editorial ends with a reflection on the ability of the LIS to link both transversely and diagonally, the whole of the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Resumen: El artículo de revisión, se orienta a las humanidades en la educación superior, en la era digital. A partir de la misión de la educación, con su compromiso de la formación humana y profesional, el ágora digital es considerada tanto escenario como mediación para las humanidades en la educación superior. La sociedad tecnológica plantea unos retos que se pueden examinar en estudios de finales del siglo XX e inicios del XXI. Asimismo, la situación de la educación y la formación humanística en este nuevo escenario abre unos senderos que se determinan como horizontes para su caminar en este nuevo hábitat digital. Aprendizaje autónomo y colaborativo, multiculturalismo, pensamiento crítico, responsabilidad planetaria, son saberes que pueden fortalecerse con la mediación de las TIC Abstract: The review article focuses on the humanities in higher education in the digital age. From the mission of education, with its commitment to the professional and human formation, the digital agora is considered to be both a scenario and a mediation for the humanities in higher education. The technological society poses a few challenges that can be examined in studies of the end of the 20th century and early 21st century. In addition, the situation of education and humanistic education in this new scenario opens some paths, which are determined as horizons for their walk in this new digital habitat. Autonomous and collaborative learning,multiculturalism, critical thinking, and planetary responsibility, is a piece of knowledge that can be strengthened with the mediation of ICT

O texto pretende-se um breve ensaio que aborde o papel do estudioso das chamadas Ciências Humanas à luz dos dilemas trazidos pela contemporaneidade, especialmente os que tendem a desautorizar o papel humanístico da universidade e abrir espaço para discursos violentos, associados ao pensamento mercantilista conservador e a preconceitos de vários tipos. Confrontando-se com o questionamento de sua importância no contexto atual, acreditamos que às humanidades urge a delimitação clara de algumas premissas que norteiem seu trabalho, constituído historicamente à luz dos direitos humanos. De tal modo, nossa proposta é uma apresentação de dois paradigmas que acreditamos ser intrínsecos ao trabalho do humanista, alteridade e empatia, e que podem servir como fundamentos para uma reflexão sobre o trabalho das Ciências Humanas. Partindo dessas perspectivas, pretende-se confrontar esses paradigmas com o crescimento do discurso violento do mercado, especialmente com a expansão da rede mundial de computadores e, consequentemente, dos veículos virtuais de informação, que popularizaram muito esses discursos na última década.

This paper explains the profile that teachers in high school should have in the field of humanities and social sciences according to the aims expressed by the students of a public night high school in the West of Merida. Students were asked to complete a 48-item questionnaire designed on a Likert scale with a view to measuring twelve competences obtained from the work of prestigious researches and the official Mexican documents used as a referent. This questionnaire was validated by judges, had a pilot test and a Cronbach's alpha of 0.94. It is increasingly more necessary to create job profiles, including those for the teaching profession, with a view to establishing parameters for professional development. Those profiles should detail the dimensions which the job addresses and the descriptors which adequate teaching practice should include. In the education model by competences these profiles present the attitudes, abilities and knowledge that a teacher should have. These profiles also provide guidelines to undertake accurate teacher assessment. The results were analysed with the statistical software package SPSS v.21 and frequencies, percentages and comparison of means were obtained. The interpretation especially addressed students' positive opinions regarding what teaching competence should be. The study found that all the competences were important, but not all the descriptors satisfied the students' expectations. This study also shows a list with the most popular competences for teaching: academic background, assertive communication, leadership, evaluation and educational environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses the structure of scientific collaboration within the disciplines of the Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities in Latin America between 2005 and 2015. This includes the reasons that lead specialists to work collaboratively, based on the fact that these communities adhere to the global trend towards an increasingly exogenous scientific dialogue. The analysis relies on 138,865 refereed articles by Latin American authors published in 838 journals indexed by Redalyc.org, and a survey of 515 researchers in the region. It was concluded that the trends towards and reasons for co-authoring are a result of current scientific policies, which have had an impact on the purpose of research and publications, and communication between researchers.

Las Humanidades se ocupan del ser humano inmerso en un entorno social que le exige preguntarse por sí mismo (Antropología) y por los demás (Sociología). En este sentido, su misión en el contexto universitario es complementar la labor de la familia y la academia en cuanto tiene que ver con la construcción de un mejor conocimiento sobre el ser humano y el mundo que le rodea. En otros términos, las Humanidades deben propiciar en el sujeto el desarrollo de la capacidad hermenéutica de sí mismo y de los demás, como una forma de enriquecer su formación científica o disciplinar. Lo contrario, es decir, la apuesta por una “humanidad sin humanidades” (Savater), supondría el fracaso de los esfuerzos por comprender realmente el sentido y el valor de lo que nos hace humanos. En la Universidad la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las Humanidades se enmarcan en el campo de las Ciencias Humanas. Sin embargo, actualmente se presta tanta atención y se invierten tantos esfuerzos en el desarrollo de competencias ligadas al saber-aprender y el saber-hacer, que el saber-ser y el saber-convivir han terminado en un segundo plano, como si no fueran aspectos fundamentales para el desarrollo de seres integrales. Es a partir de esta realidad, que el presente artículo aborda lo que podría considerarse como el “naufragio de las humanidades” en una época obnubilada por los milagros de la tecnología y los avances científicos.

The generation of scientific knowledge now responds to a primordially collaborative schema that gradually transitions from the institutional to the international. Social Sciences and Humanities in Latin America have joined this trend, however, their international collaboration has been oriented toward an asymmetric schema in terms of inclusion: only one sector of countries has joined, while another significant group remains isolated; participation: interactions are concentrated by countries with more written science; and integration: it tends to a north-south type of collaboration. The analysis of Latin American international scientific dialogue considers the period of 2005-2015 and it is used redalyc. org database for its representation in the disciplinary and regional, starting from a universe of 10,332 interactions among researchers in the region. It is concluded that these trends of international collaboration are emerging as effects of the current system of communication and evaluation of science. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In times when the need for humanist reflection in the academic training of the new generations is questioned, it is convenient to reflect on the meaning of all things human and on what we have come to refer to as humanities. A review on the meaning of humanitas is hence conducted, in the first section, through a brief historical overview that purposely endeavors to be a concise, archaeological panorama of the subject under discussion. In the second section, a reflection on the humanitas / sciences relationship is offered, attempting to persuade about the reciprocity needed for the understanding of what is human itself. The third section adds to said relationship the ethical issue -- the dignity of the human being whose ethical ontological condition is inherent in their freedom. The fourth section shows the need for humanities in times of conflict and subsequent conciliation. The emergence of aesthetics and care as elements that contribute to broadening the sense of humanities, as well as to ensuring their validity is explored in the fifth and sixth sections, respectively.

This paper contributes to the foundation of a special knowledge sociology the recover of the concept of intersubjective fight for acknowledgment. In a simple way, it presents some findings of the empiric-analytic phase of the research: Base-line for building indicators of knowledge communication in social sciences, arts & humanities area. In terms of the theoretical category, researchers in the area of Social Sciences, Arts & Humanities of the Universidad de Antioquia are claiming visibility of their specialties as a particular form of knowing. Aditionally, they consider that Sistema Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (SNCTI) and the Sistema Universitario de Investigación (SUI) have a unidimensional perception of knowledge.

When the old certainties of the culture of the humanities have fallen (those of cultural citizenship, the equalizing power of popular education, the republican integration through the universal vote), and when cultural studies become lost in excessively abstract and delocalizing theoretical notions, it becomes necessary to review some Latin American journeys that transgressed the borderlines between science, cultural criticism, and literature. Perhaps the ethnography offers a relevant interpretive key to think the relationship between humanities and cultural studies from and onwards the second half of the 20th century.
