Resumen El campo produce configuraciones singulares de las relaciones entre quien investiga y quien es entrevistado. Se analizan registros de campo significativos de entrevistas en profundidad a agentes de fuerzas de seguridad en Argentina. Sostenemos que la interseccionalidad entre género, generación y profesión produce determinados modos de intelegir y actuar en correspondencia. Proponemos tres momentos que se desarrollan en dicha configuración: seducción, dominación y huida. Se analizan los resultados desde el interaccionismo simbólico, la teoría de género, la antropología de las emociones y el psicoanálisis.

Resumen Este estudio busca abordar cómo se investiga el contexto comunicativo latinoamericano desde la academia española. En el ámbito metodológico, se emplea el meta análisis para radiografiar los artículos científicos y proyectos de investigación y desarrollo publicados en España entre 2007 y 2018, que han abordado el contexto latinoamericano como objeto de estudio. De forma complementaria se incluyen entrevistas semiestructuradas con expertos latinoamericanos del campo académico que facilitan la comprensión de algunas de las mediaciones institucionales que han intervenido en la configuración de esos estudios. Esta combinación de métodos permite la triangulación de resultados y la discusión sobre los horizontes de la investigación, sobre Latinoamérica desarrollada en España. Como resultados se detecta el carácter mayoritariamente empírico de la producción científica española que versa sobre América Latina. Además, se observa una ausencia de agendas investigadoras implicadas con la transformación social y con las necesidades comunicativas de las comunidades y territorios de América Latina.

This article addresses the impact of COVID-19 in the illustration sector in Uruguay, through the survey of available information and the conduction of in-depth interviews with artists and qualified informants. The text is structured in the following sections: background (historical antecedents of the local graphic sector), public policies and spaces of resistance (main policy instruments and social actions affecting this art), the illustration sector (main characteristics of this market), impacts and opportunities of the pandemic (observed effects and trends), and final remarks on a possible post-pandemic scenario. Its main conclusions indicate that the pandemic has forced artists to seek new subsistence opportunities, promoting a greater professionalization and creating market niches independent of the galleries and large publishing houses. It has also gathered artists around a common objective of "resistance" that strains the balance between the functional and social aspects of the discipline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

How can researchers conduct interviews about sensitive topics the interlocutors are unwilling to discuss? This article contributes to the ongoing debates on interviewing. While we are observing a growing interest in this research method among international relations scholars, we lack formalized advanced practices for overcoming interview-related challenges. Drawing on elite interviews conducted in Israel and the UK, the article introduces two research techniques particularly useful in discussing controversial or sensitive matters: in-situ texts and adaptable self-presentation practices. It first presents the types of challenges I faced seeking answers as to why secure and powerful states like the UK and Israel employ narratives of vulnerability in wartime public communication. Then it analyses how the use of in-situ texts during interviews assists in introducing sensitive topics into the interview. I illustrate how they allow me to quickly establish the importance of the research phenomenon as well as to facilitate more open conversations. Finally, I show the benefits of the adaptable self-presentation technique. The goal of this practice is to conduct a responsive interview. One in which the researcher builds trust with the participant by bringing out its own biographical aspects that emphasize either its outsider or insider status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Como parte de suas comemorações aos seus 50 anos, a Trans/Form/Ação: revista de filosofia da Unesp abre a “Chamada para publicação de entrevistas com distintas/os filósofas/os brasileiras/os”. O objetivo da chamada consiste na publicação de entrevistas nas quais consagradas/os pensadoras/es brasileiras/os possam dialogar sobre suas histórias pessoais e acadêmicas, suas pesquisas, teses, visões de mundo, dentre outras questões via perguntas produzidas por pensadoras/es com alguma distinção na linha de pesquisa da/o entrevistada/o.

Existe consenso sobre la importancia de la interdisciplina en el abordaje de problemáticas vinculadas a la reducción del riesgo de desastres. El presente trabajo busca visibilizar, mediante el análisis de un caso de estudio, como las ciencias sociales, en diálogo e interacción con las exactas y naturales, resultan en un recurso clave para caracterizar un territorio y una comunidad afectada por una erupción volcánica y así obtener información que contribuya al diseño de estrategias de intervención efectivas para la reducción de riesgos en futuros eventos eruptivo. La investigación analiza y se propone comprender la gestión de la crisis eruptiva 2018-2019 del Peteroa, uno de los volcanes más activos de los Andes del Sur. Sus inmediaciones son habitadas por una comunidad rural que practica la ganadería extensiva trashumante y que está atravesada por una serie de vulnerabilidades frente a los peligros volcánicos. Articulando perspectivas y herramientas disciplinares, recuperamos las experiencias y características de distintos actores claves e identificamos problemáticas, falencias y aspectos positivos que tuvieron lugar durante la crisis eruptiva. Enfocando el análisis en 3 nodos centrales –articulación, asistencia y comunicación– iluminamos algunas dimensiones para gestionar futuras crisis, pero también para trabajar en la reducción del riesgo durante períodos no eruptivos.

Las entrevistas recopiladas en este dossier, complementan los estudios de la sección temática “Rutas de autoras judeo-latinoamericanas hacia un sentido de pertenencia”, incluidos en este mismo número de América sin Nombre. En esta sección temática, hemos explorado la representación de las trayectorias, los mapas y los lugares en la obra literaria de las autoras judeo-latinoamericanas. Entre las conclusiones de dicha sección temática, destaca la necesidad que sienten las autoras estudiadas de crear una identidad espacial a través de su obra literaria. Además, la creación de los lugares de origen y de la trayectoria de los ancestros en su obra literaria es un elemento constantemente presente. Las autoras escriben y reescriben esos lugares a lo largo de sus libros y parece como si estuvieran remodelando esos lugares reiteradamente sin que éstos lleguen a tener nunca una forma definitiva. Este rasgo recurrente de la obra literaria de las autoras judeo-latinoamericanas estudiadas hace surgir una serie de interrogantes: ¿Qué es lo que las autoras conocen sobre sus lugares de origen? ¿Cuál es la imagen que han recibido de éstos? ¿Cómo se realizó en sus familias la transmisión intergeneracional de la imagen del lugar de pertenencia? A fin de responder algunas de estas preguntas, en esta sección de entrevistas nos alejamos del nivel de la ficción para adentrarnos a la realidad de las familias de las autoras. Nos proponemos, así, explorar otra faceta en la construcción del sentido de pertenencia, mediante el registro de las diferentes modalidades de transmisión intergeneracional de los imaginarios espaciales en el exilio judeo-latinoamericano. Este dossier de entrevistas proporciona, así, un contrapunto a las conclusiones que hemos sacado de los estudios de la sección temática “Rutas de autoras judeo-latinoamericanas hacia un sentido de pertenencia”.

The situation of Spanish Early Career Researchers (ECRs) during the pandemic is presented, taking into account the main changes caused by confinement in their work habits and academic communication practices. Based on the information extracted from interviews and surveys, the transformations experienced in the following areas are analyzed: distance teaching, research production, the evaluation system and the metrics used, the progress of open science, peer review, ethically questionable practices, collaboration and networking, online meetings and conferences, scientific dissemination and outreach and the use of social networks. After the pandemic, some disruptions have reversed. However, others have remained. The pandemic has normalized the use of virtual and hybrid events and promoted researchers' dissemination practices, among other changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is a growing consensus about the complementary nature of institutional and noninstitutional politics as means to push forward policy agendas. However, the bulk of research tends to concentrate on one aspect of this relationship, namely, how social movements influence the political arena, for example by impacting different stages of the policymaking process and creating new political parties. There is comparatively less understanding of the reverse dynamics: the degree to which political parties also influence the protest arena by adopting and utilizing strategies and tactics commonly associated with social movements and by connecting to demonstrators. Focusing on Argentina and Chile, two countries that have experienced massive protest waves in recent years, this article examines the presence of political parties in the organization, staging, and channeling of demonstrations. Given that the reception of political parties in demonstrations is closely tied to whether they are welcome in the protest arena or not, we also analyze how Argentine and Chilean protesters perceive political parties and the level of identification they feel with them. Our primary data source comes from 1 935 surveys conducted as part of the Caught in the Act of Protest: Contextualizing Contestation (ccc) network between 2015 and 2017. We found that political parties in Argentina exhibit stronger ties to social movements compared to those in Chile. We seek to link this outcome to divergent and historically rooted patterns of protest dynamics in both countries and discuss the implications of our findings in the conclusion.

Affective computing aims to create systems capable of recognizing, processing, and simulating human emotions to enhance human-computer interaction. Speech emotion recognition (SER) is a highly effective and non-invasive technique for assessing a user's emotions by analyzing physiological variables. However, despite its widespread use in end-user perception identification, few applications have been developed in the field of forensic analysis. To address this gap, this research proposes a new forensic emotion analysis software system, FOREMAN, based on the emotional study of the voice. The system was developed using the Iterative Research Pattern. foreman determines the fluctuation of emotions in an audio file, as well as the percentage and spatial distribution of emotions present in its segments, using clustering methods. The system's effectiveness is demonstrated by its application to an audio file taken from a Colombian Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) hearing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Se presenta la experiencia de acceder a entrevistas con individuos de la élite política y económica chilena para una investigación. En el marco del trabajo se justifica la importancia de escrutar a las élites, para luego desarrollar, extensamente y en términos etnográficos, los hechos y situaciones que permitieron el diálogo. A partir de esta práctica y de la literatura sobre el tema, se reflexiona sobre el acceso a este tipo de entrevistados y los aspectos que se deben considerar en el encuentro. Se propone, asimismo, un enfoque ético diferente que sea de utilidad para quienes se adentren en este tipo de estudios, elusivos por definición.

Resumo Este artigo foi originalmente publicado em 1981. Ele discute questões éticas e metodológicas envolvidas no trabalho de campo com pessoas da mesma sociedade da antropóloga, mas de grupos subalternos, indagando: o que legitima os métodos científicos de investigação da vida dos outros, fazendo com que pareçam aceitáveis, ao invés de questionáveis? O estudo baseia-se na análise de Foucault sobre regimes de saber-poder nas ciências sociais, para entender o que molda diferentes metodologias de pesquisa e as práticas da autora. Considera que a pesquisa de campo é estruturada no contexto de um regime de produção de conhecimento científico que legitima relações de poder nas quais um pede para saber tudo e o outro se sente obrigado a dizer a verdade que, no entanto, só quem pergunta será capaz de revelar. O artigo argumenta que o que é apresentado como verdade ou em entrevistas ou no texto da análise é produto de uma certa relação, marcada por diferenças de poder e desigualdade social. Além disso, sugere que a relação de trabalho de campo é produtiva: o que é dito não existia antes para ser revelado, mas foi construído nessa relação desigual. Assim, a interpretação de dados de campo sempre tem que considerar as condições de sua produção.

La entrevista abarca algunos años de vida y de producción fílmica de la artista paraguaya Paz Encina (Asunción, 1971), pero se concentra en sus cuatro largometrajes hasta 2023 que atañen a gestos de memoria. Hubo menciones a la reunión de las convicciones políticas con sus poéticas, mediante una gramática de la democracia en Latinoamérica y las provisiones estéticas que se le cargan. Es así en su obra Hamaca paraguaya (2006), Ejercicios de memoria (2016), Veladores (2020) y Eami (2022). En verdad, sumados a los videos, instalaciones y cortos, esas piezas de proporciones vultosas son como suites del desacuerdo entre las nacionalidades que habitan el territorio nacional al que Paz denomina con la suspicacia de un bardo como un país chiquito entre dos gigantes.

Studying the quality of journalism in Portugal is important, given the current financial crisis the business landscape is going through, where newsrooms are increasingly smaller and with precarious working conditions. In this context, how do Portuguese television and radio journalists assess the quality of journalism practised in Portugal and the conditions they have to produce news? This article seeks to answer two research questions, through the use of semistructured interviews with 11 radio and television journalists in Portugal: (a) how do television and radio journalists define quality journalism; and (b) how do television and radio journalists assess the quality of journalism produced in Portugal? The interviewees stressed the importance of following the profession's ethical rules, maintaining accuracy and impartiality, as well as other more formal aspects, such as the quality of their writing or the ability to captivate their audience. As for the conditions needed to practise good journalism, the importance of time and job stability stood out, which the interviewees agreed are in short supply. Although the interviewees were not unanimous in their assessment of the quality of television and radio journalism in Portugal -- even the most positive ones had criticisms to make -- most of the journalists interviewed considered that their working conditions for producing good journalism fall short of what is desired.

This study examines attitudes about integration and support for citizenship in the context of the Syrian refugee crisis in Turkey based on 85 interviews in four provinces. Consistent with past research, respondents reported multiple threat perceptions around refugees, with security and cultural threats predominating. Those who perceived refugees as threatening in three or more ways generally believed in fewer prospects for integration and were unlikely to support citizenship. However, positive views were present among those who reported one or even two types of threats, indicating there are possibilities for developing inclusionary attitudes even in the presence of threat perceptions. Our research also identifies two counterintuitive reasons some individuals support citizenship for refugees: to reduce security threats and remedy perceived favoritism in social support policies. These findings shed light on the complex bases of attitudes around migration and have important implications for designing refugee settlement policies and efforts to support integration.

O presente artigo reflete a Tese de doutorado defendida pelo autor e teve como objetivo compreender o Programa de Animação Cultural elaborado por Darcy Ribeiro, nos Centros Integrados de Educação Pública do Rio de Janeiro (CIEPs/CIEPs-RJ), entre os anos 1983-1987, problematizando a inteireza da escola com o ambiente sociocultural dos alunos e alunas a partir de suas comunidades. Tema posteriormente revisitado no pós-doutoramento, em destaque no desenvolvimento do texto. O retorno à pesquisa, considerando a distinção entre cada período observado, ampliou a compreensão dos fatos. Na metodologia priorizamos fontes bibliográficas e documentais, mescladas às entrevistas de campo. As duas últimas interlocuções são apresentadas no texto em tela. A pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, também buscou ressaltar o conhecimento empírico acumulado pelos Animadores Culturais para atuar no cotidiano escolar. O resultado obtido na investigação inspira possibilidades emancipatórias diante de uma prática pedagógica marcada por fatores tradicionais.

Em um intervalo de quinze anos, o ex-goleiro Marcos Carneiro de Mendonça (1894-1988) prestou dois depoimentos ao Museu da Imagem e do Som, em suas matrizes do Rio de Janeiro e de São Paulo. Ícone do chamado amadorismo na história do futebol brasileiro, tendo sido goleiro do Fluminense durante a belle époque, ídolo da seleção e protagonista do primeiro título sul-americano da modalidade em 1919, a trajetória de Marcos é alvo recorrente de interesse acadêmico entre os historiadores e pesquisadores, seja em seus aspectos biográficos e imagéticos, seja nos arquivísticos. Neste artigo revisita-se a construção da persona e do significado do atleta, enfatizando menos sua biografia, suas imagens e seu conhecido álbum de recortes, depositado na Biblioteca Nacional, e mais esses dois relatos orais. A finalidade precípua é tomar os dois depoimentos em conjunto, como se se tratasse do mesmo testemunho, dilatado no tempo, com vistas a identificar suas continuidades e descontinuidades. Reutilizar essa fonte sonora dá subsídios para entender as estratégias dos entrevistadores na assunção do passado e, em contrapartida, permite compreender como o próprio depoente constrói o pioneirismo de sua figura desportista e direciona os episódios e os aspectos da técnica futebolística, especialmente os da posição de goleiro, que considera dignos de rememoração, em consonância com o período histórico e com o espaço institucional em que as entrevistas foram concedidas.

Estudar a qualidade do jornalismo em Portugal manifesta-se como relevante perante uma paisagem empresarial em crise financeira e redações cada vez mais pequenas com condições de trabalho precárias. Neste contexto, como é que os jornalistas portugueses de televisão e de rádio avaliam a qualidade do jornalismo praticado em Portugal e as condições que têm para o produzir? Através de entrevistas semiestruturadas a 11 jornalistas de rádio e de televisão em Portugal, procuramos responder a duas perguntas de investigação: (a) como é que os jornalistas de televisão e de rádio definem o jornalismo de qualidade?; e (b) como é que os jornalistas de televisão e de rádio avaliam a qualidade do jornalismo produzido em Portugal? Os entrevistados destacam a importância de seguir as regras deontológicas da profissão, de manter o rigor e a isenção e também outros tipos de características mais formais como, por exemplo, a qualidade da escrita ou a capacidade de cativar a audiência. Quanto às condições necessárias para praticar bom jornalismo, sobressai a importância do tempo e da estabilidade laboral, sobre as quais os entrevistados concordam estarem em escassez. Embora não sejam unânimes na sua avaliação da qualidade do jornalismo televisivo e radiofónico em Portugal — mesmo os mais positivos têm críticas a fazer —, a maior parte dos jornalistas entrevistados considera que as suas condições de trabalho para produzir bom jornalismo ficam aquém do desejado.

La década de 1990 produjo un mayor enfoque en el arte social y comunitario, lo que llevó a un desarrollo teórico en este campo. En la actualidad, el arte social ha encontrado su lugar dentro del sector artístico contemporáneo español, a través de convocatorias y programaciones de las instituciones. En el presente artículo ofrecemos un estudio actualizado de las convocatorias y programaciones más destacables que promueven el arte participativo en España, con el objetivo de conocer de manera precisa sus orígenes, modelos de gestión y el impacto social que generan. Mediante una metodología cualitativa basada en entrevistas personales con sus gestores o comisarios, indagaremos en los desafíos, oportunidades y perspectivas que enfrentaron estos actores clave en la producción y organización de eventos artísticos participativos. El análisis de los datos obtenidos permitirá una comprensión más profunda de la dinámica del arte participativo en el país, y contribuirá al enriquecimiento del campo de los estudios culturales y la gestión de eventos artísticos.

Purpose: This article presents the results of qualitative research performed through the semi-structured interviews to elaborate a theoreticalmethodological human resources churning model that will allow to statistically describe the relations of interdependence between the selected variables, to analyze their impact, and to test hypotheses in future studies. Originality/value: The relevance of this study lies in the opportunity to contribute to the development of such an intricate, unexplored topic, with scarcely available literature and empirical studies, providing the elaboration of an interview script as an instrument for data collection that facilitates future studies. Churning of human resources (excess of turnover) is solely related to the replacement of workers who voluntarily choose to leave organizations (Burgess et al., 2000). Design/methodology/approach: This study follows a qualitative approach. The process of data collection consisted of developing a semi-structured interview guide to gather information through the performance of 20 interviews. Findings: Through the analysis of the results, it was possible to ascertain that the more favorable churning dimensions are, the greater the retention of workers in organizations. Thus, the elaboration and application of strategic measures by organizations become relevant for the retention of the most experienced and qualified workers in order to avoid high costs with new hiring, which are a direct result of such replacements (churning).

Brazil is an emerging country with tremendous potential and the ambition to become a major player in global politics. Achieving high international status, however, depends not only on aspiration, but on the intersubjective perceptions of states that are already established as great powers. Brazil’s rise is connected not only to its attributes of power but to how the country is perceived by others. This article advances the study of Brazil’s status by analyzing the image of the country according to the perceptions of the foreign policy community of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. It contributes to International Relations scholarship by addressing the relation between images of a nation and its level of prestige. The article argues that knowledge about Brazil is limited even among global elites and is mostly associated with superficial stereotypes [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Given the multiplicity of definitions about the concept of human resource churning, we took as a premise, the costs associated with the replacement of workers from voluntary departures from organisations. As this is a subject that has not yet been widely explored in Portugal, this study aims to expand the theoretical framework, as well as the empirical studies; Goals; Methods: This qualitative study aims to identify the main precedents of human resource churning and the strategic measures applied by organisations to mitigate it. In order to make the objective feasible, the research question was: what is the origin of churning in organisations and what are the mitigation measures? As a data collection method, 20 semi-structured interviews were conducted with human resources directors from various sectors of activity, which were analysed through content analysis in order to extract the main variables, emphasising the development of a theoretical model and its analysis; Results: In order to analyse this model, 3 propositions were defined and proceeded to their substantiation, using the literature on the subject and the information obtained through the interviews, it was possible to analyse the veracity of the defined propositions. It was possible to predict that human resource churning precedents negatively influence the occurrence of human resource churning; that mitigation measures have a positive influence on human resource churning and that mitigation measures have a positive influence on human resource churning precedents; Conclusions: The greater the investment in the application and/or development of policies and practices of human resources retention, the lower the churning rate will be, and therefore the costs derived from the replacement of workers will be reduced.

In view of the negative view of the phenomenon of menstruation and recent market changes aimed at the search for ecological consumption and real female representations, this research seeks to understand the relationship between women, menstruation and these new trends, in order to respond to the following question: How do consumers of ecological menstrual products perceive their relationship with menstruation and with these products? For that, texts were used as a basis that addressed the cultural aspects of menstruation in Brazil, the ecological market trends and how advertising and marketing aimed at the female audience and menstruation evolved over time. Data were collected from the analysis of cultural texts and interviews with consumers of ecological products. As a result, it was identified that the advertisements belonging to the second half of the century. XXI began to represent menstruation as a positive and natural phenomenon. With regard to consumers, the data indicate that their relationship with menstruation seems to have improved after using ecological menstrual products, as they feel safer and more confident, since the products generate greater autonomy and comfort for them.

Se está produciendo un cambio en España, y a escala internacional, con respecto a la atención temprana y a la concepción de los/as niños/as y la discapacidad (Tamarit, 2015). Se está pasando de un enfoque clínico, basado en la rehabilitación y centrado en las/los niñas/os, a un enfoque más global, sistémico, ecológico, centrado en la familia y en los entornos naturales. Sin embargo, su alcance y generalización siguen siendo desiguales. En Castilla-La Mancha (una comunidad autónoma española) se está realizando un esfuerzo de transformación en este sentido. El presente estudio, a través de entrevistas en profundidad a agentes relevantes (familiares, personal de la Administración y profesionales que ocupaban los roles de coordinación y de gerencia en entidades de Plena inclusión Castilla-La Mancha) y el análisis de su contenido, ha indagado en los avances logrados en el proceso de transformación; los factores involucrados, tanto en la vida interna de los servicios y entidades como en el entorno externo; y los principales obstáculos y los retos pendientes. A partir de la información recabada, se propone un modelo que describe la transformación y que puede facilitar la transferencia de conocimiento a centros y comunidades que estén desarrollando (o se lo estén planteando) un proceso de transformación similar hacia un enfoque centrado en la familia.

The article discusses some of the lessons left by the book The Weight of the world (BOURDIEU, 1999) in the light of the findings of a research interview conducted with a Catholic priest, in which he discusses the participation of women in the social movements he led: for housing, education, health in the peripheries of a large Brazilian metropolis. The research team combined semi-structured interviews with the analysis of statistical series. The priest's testimony is presented almost in full in this article. Next, we show the partial results of a Principal Component Analysis, based on public statistics (POPULATION CENSUS, IBGE, 2012). The interview and the statistical analysis allow us to work on two different levels the notions of "misery of condition" and "misery of position", proposed in The Misery of the World.
