In recent years, several emblematic cases of girls pregnant due to rape have occupied the Brazilian news. The obstacles they faced to access the right to abortion mobilized the public debate, especially through social networks. In this context, using a theoretical-analytical framework in relation to the narrative disputes and framing of social movements in networks, this article analyzes two of the most recent widely known cases on Twitter/X. To do so, quantitative and qualitative methodologies are employed. On the one hand, message exchange networks are analyzed, along with their influence and contagion relationships and automation in Twitter/X. On the other hand, narratives are categorized based on topic modelling combined with qualitative analysis, highlighting narratives for and against abortion rights in order to understand how the social imaginary is disputed in networks. It is concluded that the narratives for sexual and reproductive rights were successful in influencing the public sphere and in promoting ideas with positive effects for guaranteeing victims’ rights. However, these same narratives reproduced a moral dichotomy between “good” and “bad” abortions. Thus, it is necessary to overcome such antagonisms so that all people may have reproductive freedom in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article focuses on Indigenous women's narrative and storytelling tradition and its relation to decolonial ecologies. It argues that Indigenous women's narratives, both written and orally transmitted, constitute sites of defiance to the eco-social structures of settler colonialism and imperialism. Drawing on the case of Palestine, the article reveals that 'zoocentric environmentalism,' as represented by an Israeli installation at the Venice Biennale, incarnates the material and symbolic constituents of Zionist blooming enterprise. That is, such presumed forms of progressive 'non-anthropocentric' engagements with ecological calamities unveil the historical continuity of the Zionist project that aims to erase Indigenous Palestinians and their multigenerational, more-than-human place thought. To counter universalising environmental projects and their inherent colonial violence, the article engages with place-based stories of a Palestinian woman's novella; more-than-human ancestral knowledge shared by Palestinian women elders; and a visual-media project showing Palestinian refugee women returning to their ancestral villages. The article's overall aim is to advance an Indigenous situated approach to decolonising today's environmentalism and to centre Palestine in the wider social and cultural geography debate on Indigeneity, decolonial ecologies, and storytelling.

En los últimos años, varios casos emblemáticos de niñas embarazadas debido a violaciones han ocupado las noticias brasileñas. Los obstáculos que ellas enfrentaron para acceder al derecho al aborto movilizaron el debate público, especialmente a través de las redes sociales. En este contexto, utilizando un marco teórico-analítico sobre las disputas narrativas y los encuadres de los movimientos sociales en las redes, en este artículo se analiza el abordaje en Twitter/X de dos de los principales casos más recientes. Para ello, se emplean metodologías cuantitativas y cualitativas. Por un lado, se analizan las redes de intercambio de mensajes, sus relaciones de influencia y contagio y la automatización en Twitter/X. Por otro, se categorizan las narrativas a partir de topic modelling combinada con el análisis cualitativo y poniendo énfasis en las narrativas a favor y en contra del derecho al aborto para entender cómo se disputa el imaginario social en las redes. Se concluye que las narrativas por los derechos sexuales y reproductivos tuvieron éxito en influir en la esfera pública y en promover ideas con efectos positivos para la garantía de los derechos de las víctimas. Sin embargo, esas mismas narrativas reprodujeron una dicotomía moral entre abortos “buenos” y “malos”. Por ello, se requiere superar tales antagonismos para que todas las personas tengan libertad reproductiva en un futuro.

El presente trabajo tuvo como propósito elaborar un acercamiento teórico a la noción de contrarrelato político. Ante la novedad de esta técnica narrativa, primero se abordaron sus causas: absolutismo moral, polarización afectiva, caos informativo, incertidumbre y tribalismo digital. Luego, se definió el contrarrelato como una estructura semántica que, sin importar la temporalidad, intenta destruir el capital simbólico del adversario. Acto seguido, se detallaron sus principales rasgos –reactividad, negatividad, emotividad, estereotipación y permanencia– y funciones –enlazar voluntades por oposición, trazar fronteras identitarias nítidas, recompensar emocionalmente y simplificar la realidad–. A modo de cierre, se trazó un repaso de los principales hallazgos y se plantearon diversas líneas de investigación, tales como observar la resonancia y aplicación de esta técnica por parte de la ciudadanía y la posibilidad de realizar un análisis comparado, a través de casos prácticos, entre el contrarrelato y su némesis, el relato político.

El presente artículo resultado de investigación se enfoca en identificar y describir el empoderamiento de la mujer comunicadora social – periodista en Tunja, Colombia, con base en su participación laboral en los medios de comunicación, comparando los cargos en los que dichas mujeres se han desempeñado desde el año 2015 hasta el 2019, para así presentar la construcción de narrativas donde se pueda reconocer el desarrollo de su labor. La investigación se encuentra enmarcada bajo el paradigma histórico – hermenéutico, con un enfoque cualitativo de tipo descriptivo. La población con la que se realizó la investiga-ción fueron 12 mujeres con formación empírica y profesional en la Comunicación Social; el proceso para la recolección de información se dividió en ocho fases y los datos recolecta-dos se tomaron a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas y encuestas. Los resultados están enfocados en el reconocimiento de la profesional, la reflexión y la equidad de género en la capital boyacense. Las conclusiones están enfocadas en resaltar dos aspectos fundamentales: en primer lugar, la ausencia en la implementación de cátedras y espacios de formación rela-cionados con temáticas de visión de género, donde se reconozca el papel de la mujer; y, en segundo lugar, se habiliten nuevas estrategias que brinden las oportunidades de liderazgo y toma de decisiones que permitan contribuir al empoderamiento de la profesional, no solo en la región, sino en el ámbito nacional e internacional.

Las deliberaciones sobre el Antropoceno nos ponen en alerta para repensar nuestro modo de vida contemporáneo que incluye tanto la relación con los otros como con la naturaleza. En el presente texto relatamos una experiencia con estudiantes de educación superior como el inicio para imaginar qué otras formas de relación con el mundo son posibles a través de la construcción de ecobiografías. Los estudiantes no contaban en su trayectoria formativa información sobre el tema Antropoceno. Empleamos estrategias narrativas para responder a la pregunta ¿qué mundo queremos dejar a las generaciones venideras? Presentamos información sobre la aparición de la especie homo sapiens y la forma en que conquistó el mundo como una forma distinta de la clásica pregunta ¿Qué es el hombre? cuyas respuestas lo separan de la naturaleza. Establecimos vínculos entre el mundo experimentado con los predecesores, el mundo de los coetáneos y el posible mundo de los sucesores. Preservar la naturaleza pasa por sorprendernos ante su belleza, condición para establecer nuevas resonancias en el mundo, como totalidad abarcadora, y establecer lazos de diverso orden. Vale la pena transitar del pienso, luego existo al yo soy biomasa, extensión del principio somos polvo de estrellas como apoyo para renovar diversos modos de relacionarnos, de habitar el mundo, entendido como casa, morada.

Most protected area impact research that uses counterfactuals draws heavily on quantitative methods, data, and knowledge types, making it valuable in producing generalizations but limited in temporal scope, historical detail, and habitat diversity and coverage of ecosystem services. We devised a methodological pluralistic approach, which supports social science qualitative methods, narratives, mixed methods, and interdisciplinarity, to fully unlock the potential of counterfactuals in ensuring a place‐based and detailed understanding of the socioecological context and impacts of protected areas. We applied this approach to derive possible counterfactual conditions for the impact of a montane protected area on 40 years of vegetation change in the Cape Floristic Region—a global biodiversity hotspot and UNESCO World Heritage Site in South Africa. We incorporated diverse methods, knowledge, and information sources, drawing on before–after protected area comparisons for inside and outside the protected area. A significant increase in shrubland vegetation (17–30%) was observed and attributed primarily to a decline in frequent burning for grazing. This also occurred outside the protected area and was driven by socioeconomic drivers and not by concerns over biodiversity conservation or land degradation. Had the protected area not been established the area would have seen intensification of cultivation and increased road networks, buildings, and water storage in dams. Our approach increased historical temporal coverage of socioecological change and contextualized assumptions around causality. Protected area impact evaluation should reengage in place‐based research that fully incorporates pluralism in methodologies for constructing counterfactuals in a way that builds regional and global understanding from the local level upward. We devised 10 key principles for deriving counterfactuals grounded in methodological pluralism, covering aspects of collaboration, cocreation, inter‐ and transdisciplinarity, diverse values and lived experiences, multiple knowledge types, multiple possible causal mechanisms, social science qualitative methods, perceptions, perspectives, and narratives.

Effective communication increases support for policy measures. This article argues that a narrative that portrays a policy's target group as a hero is most effective in generating support for the given policy. The research builds on the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) to test the influence of an audience‐as‐hero narrative on the opinion about a new campfire regulation among visitors to a national park in Russia. A survey experiment with 314 visitors to the national park compares the influence of a narrative portraying the regulation's target group as a hero (a park visitor) on policy opinion and a narrative portraying another hero (a firefighter). Results show that the audience‐as‐hero narrative has more influence on policy support than a nonnarrative message and also more than a narrative portraying another hero. This indicates that audience‐as‐hero narratives are particularly effective in generating support for policies. Related Articles: Crow, Deserai A., Lydia A.

While studies of femicide perpetrators have focused on background factors, such as criminal history and mental health conditions, little attention has been paid to their individual experiences. Perpetrators emotions and sense-making have often been overlooked and even dismissed. With a micro-sociological approach to violence, we identify the narrated emotions involved in the perpetration of intimate femicide. The data gathered are based on 33 open-ended interviews with convicted male perpetrators from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Honduras, Mexico, and Venezuela. We identify four main emotions reflecting participants' experiences of femicide: Fear, expressed through stories of women as threats to self, family, and community; helplessness, expressed through stories of men being trapped, judged, and persecuted; and pain, connected to stories of jealousy and belittlement. These lead to anger, expressed through stories of bodily reactions and losing control. The findings indicate that intimate femicide perpetrators resort to lethal violence to regulate self-worth and remediate actions they feel were disruptive. Our research demonstrates the importance of embodied and narrated emotions to understand femicides. We argue that viewing femicide as a product of a shared pervasive emotional economy highlights the role of emotions in maintaining a gendered social order. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The energy transition requires minerals that are increasingly difficult to obtain on the surface, so the ocean floor and by virtue of its mineral reserves, could meet projected demand and contribute to achieving the sustainable development goals. However, there are contradictory discourses regarding the role of sustainability in deep-sea mining. On the one hand, it is suggested that it would have less impact than surface mining. On the other hand, it argues about the negative impacts on the ocean and effects on human well-being and the livelihoods of local communities. Thus, the objective is to problematize the relationship between sustainability and deep-sea mining, based on the approach of the resource frontier and how these spaces are produced, the predominant narratives, and what are the dynamics that underlie this process. Using tools of bibliometric analysis and qualitative content analysis, it was possible to account for dominant narratives about circular economy, biodiversity, governance, and blue economy in the literature. Dynamics underlying the creation of the resource frontier are the search for new sources of minerals, the need to control resources, and positioning the ocean as a zone of unlimited development, which configure deep-sea mining as an emerging frontier for sustainability.

Debates on allies' contributions to alliances focus mainly on the material dimension. Accordingly, smaller partners are often belittled for failing to contribute their fair share to their defensive alliances with more powerful allies. While acknowledging that junior partners' contributions do not match the same level of material capabilities provided by a more significant power like the United States, this study highlights the importance of other intangible contributions. We argue that defensive alliances during peacetime require a crucial, albeit overlooked, ideational contribution by all allies. We examine the US–Japan and ANZUS alliances to explore the process through which junior partners advance the interests of an alliance through ideational contributions. Our findings reveal that Japan and Australia contribute to their respective alliances with the United States by mobilizing fundamental ideas and norms that sustain and promote a specific global order and security vision. We maintain that such intangible contributions are necessary for alliance success. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Adriana Friedmann é pós-doutora em artes (IA-UNESP), doutora em antropologia (PUC-SP), mestre em educação (UNICAMP) e licenciada em Pedagogia (USP). Desenvolve pesquisas nas áreas de educação, antropologia e pesquisas biográficas em processos de autoconhecimento e escuta com diversos profissionais. O que Friedman apresenta nesse ensaio é fruto de seus estudos, pesquisa de pós-doutorado e de dados produzidos junto aos participantes de diversos grupos que coordena ou atua como formadora e pesquisadora na área da educação. A autora nos conduz por um caminho em que somos levados a refletir sobre nossa própria constituição por meio de um exercício que nos direciona a olhar para dentro no processo de escutar a nossa própria história. Nos relatos apresentados no decorrer do livro, Friedmann enfatiza que não é possível escutar verdadeiramente as crianças se não buscarmos as nossas origens e conseguirmos compreender a nossa identidade, comportamentos e trajetória. Dessa forma somos convidados pela autora a “recuperar recortes” de nossa vida e memórias da infância para trazermos à tona e compreender o contexto vivenciado no presente. Já a partir do início ela nos deixa com duas inquietações que vai nos acompanhar por toda leitura: “Até onde sua história de vida trouxe você? Que indícios e que pistas já apareciam em sua infância e prenunciavam o ser humano que você se tornou? O prefácio foi escrito por Luiza Helena Christov, supervisora do seu pós-doutoramento, que conecta o que Adriana traz em suas pesquisas sobre narrativas biográficas com as ideias de Paulo Freire, em relação ao direito da palavra, de aprender e pensar coletivamente e de valorizar as nossas próprias histórias. Christov defende a importância de o educador ter um encontro consigo mesmo no exercício de rememorar e narrar a sua trajetória, e justifica que: [...] em primeiro lugar […] o educador é esse ser que se coloca em escuta, que tem diálogo com compromisso, e esse movimento de acolher o outro exige o movimento de acolher a si mesmo. Exige o movimento de pensar quem sou eu no encontro com o outro. Exige o movimento de reconhecer as marcas culturais e sociais que o compõe para reconhecer as marcas culturais e sociais que compõem cada um dos estudantes presentes para o diálogo. (p. 12). Salienta ainda que a pesquisa tem em sua essência a “pedagogia da escuta”, na qual a pesquisadora acolhe e recebe cada narrativa de forma singular para que quem narra a sua história tenha a possibilidade de reconhecer-se como parte importante de um todo que se inicia no próprio indivíduo. O livro está estruturado em cinco capítulos. O primeiro é intitulado: “Histórias de vida entrelaçadas” em que a autora expõe suas motivações para o aprofundamento das pesquisas biográficas e por meio da sua própria história defende a importância da criação de espaços de escuta, de fala e de conexão com a própria infância. Reforça que as pesquisas das origens e raízes multiculturais individuais e coletivas trazem consciência da imensa diversidade que estamos envoltos no universo humano. Ao passarmos pelo processo de autoconhecimento podemos também (re)conhecer os outros, para desenvolver essa ideia Friedmann convida para o diálogo Jorge Larrosa e Marie-Christine Josso com o conceito ideia de experiência que é aprofundado no decorrer da obra. No capítulo seguinte: “Estudos biográficos”, são apresentadas importantes referências acerca dos estudos e pesquisas biográficas e autobiográficas, com os conceitos que os integram. Fica evidenciada a urgência de propor o desafio de conhecer biografias e desenvolver escritas autobiográficas junto a diferentes grupos, tendo em vista que no momento histórico em que vivemos não se valoriza o conhecimento e na sociedade atual pouco se reflete “no cotidiano, sobre o cotidiano e sobre a necessidade de construção da consciência ética”. Ao abordar as pesquisas sobre as abordagens autobiográficas, os principais autores citados são: Gaston Pineau, com desenvolvimento de uma teoria de formação permanente a partir das histórias de vida; Pierre Dominicé, que traz em seus estudos a relevância do ensino personalizado a partir das narrativas de vida e textos biográficos; Marie-Christine Josso com o valor das histórias de vida na formação docente e Antônio Nóvoa com o enfoque da autobiografia na formação de professores, além de outros pensadores e estudiosos da área da psicologia, filosofia, sociologia que são apresentados com a relevância dos seus estudos para a temática. Com o encantamento metafórico de Manoel de Barros defende que “Quem se aproxima das origens se renova”, a autora revela a importância de compreender a própria história para poder acessar conhecimentos que muitas vezes ficam adormecidos. Todo esse processo de se voltar ao vivido demanda disponibilidade e tempo para que se viva a experiência que de acordo com o conceito posto por Larrosa, é “algo que nos acontece”, distanciando-se do excesso de informações desprovidas de reflexão que nos rodeia. Friedmann evidencia o quanto esses “mergulhos interiores” são transformadores e impactantes na história individual e coletiva de quem participa desse processo. Salienta que: […] todas e todos somos influenciadas (os) pelas nossas origens, países, culturas, geografias e grupos sociais nos quais nascemos e que nos constituem e perfazem os seres humanos em que nos transformamos. Cria-se, então, uma linha de pesquisa interessantíssima, que pode abrir, para qualquer ser humano, um leque de conhecimentos das suas próprias raízes, da sua linhagem, ao mesmo tempo que amplia horizontes, aprofunda o conhecimento da complexidade humana (p. 58). Ainda neste capítulo são anunciadas as contribuições de autores que são referências na área das pesquisas biográficas, como Gabriele Rosenthal com a metodologia e formas de sistematizar uma entrevista biográfica, a autobiografia interpretativa de Norman Denzin e o paradigma indiciário de Carlo Ginzburg. O terceiro capítulo é marcado por uma entrevista individual - estudo de caso com Rodrigo Rubido, em que a autora ao fazer a análise e apontar suas considerações sobre a entrevista retoma as ideias abordadas pelos pensadores que foram apresentados no capítulo anterior. No penúltimo capítulo “Trilhas das histórias de vida”, Adriana apresenta os caminhos etnográficos percorridos e desenvolvidos nos processos formativos, nos quais o reconhecimento de si e a imersão autobiográfica ocorrem de forma individual e coletiva. Relata que as etapas passam pela escrita de uma carta com memórias da infância, criação da árvore genealógica familiar para investigação das suas origens e raízes multiculturais familiares, identificação das influências, compartilhamento com o grupo, escolha de uma biografia ou autobiografia para ler e pesquisar aprofundando as pesquisas, e a partir da leitura de capítulos de “O código de ser” de Hillman e o convite para escrever-se um ensaio, estabelecendo uma relação entre as memórias de infância e as ideias propostas pelo autor. Ainda neste capítulo Friedmann relata um dos encontros-experiência com seu Grupo de estudos Biográficos em 2022, oportunidade que fizeram um entrelaçamento das jornadas autobiográficas com as artes, apresentando-se como caminhos necessários e possíveis para manifestação de quem somos. Por meio das linguagens expressivas, a autora conta sua relação com a arte e relata a experiência do grupo com barro no Ateliê Tapir. Impossível não se sensibilizar pela experiência relatada. A partir da descrição e de imagens, é possível perceber o envolvimento e a sincronia dos integrantes ao vivenciar a experiência de modelar a argila de olhos fechados, em dupla, com as mãos dadas utilizando na escultura apenas uma das mãos. Para essa realização cada participante precisou ser guiado, por meio de gestos, já que apenas um elemento da dupla teve acesso a palavra da imagem a ser moldada, e assim produziram a escultura. O último capítulo intitulado “Algumas contribuições das pesquisas biográficas”, a autora ressalta a importância das pesquisas biográficas para os processos de humanização das relações, considerando os valores éticos para apurar a escuta, respeitar a história e colher a singularidade do outro que são fundamentais. A leitura de “Jornadas autobiográficas” nos leva a involuntariamente mergulhar na nossa própria história e recordar momentos vividos, naturalmente somos levados a estabelecer conexões e a ganharmos consciência de diversos aspectos de nossa vida. A obra nos permite conhecer e nos aprofundarmos nos referenciais teóricos da abordagem biográfica e autobiográfica, e acompanhar as experiências conduzidas por Adriana Friedmann com seus grupos. Trata-se de uma obra altamente recomendada para educadores, arte-educadores, gestores, pesquisadores, ativistas sociais e todos os profissionais que buscam qualificar a escuta de crianças, jovens e adultos e para isso também precisam desenvolver processos para escutar, refletir e conscientizar-se sobre sua própria história. O desafio proposto por este produtivo ensaio é disseminar pesquisas autobiográficas e debates sobre a subjetivação no mundo que contribuem com a formação permanente daqueles(as) que atuam em escolas privadas, públicas e em projetos sociais dessas instituições. O leitor terá oportunidades de interagir com uma obra potenciadora na qual vale a pena investir.

O presente artigo narra a experiência do projeto Afroinfância, que se fundamenta nas ideias de Molefi Kete Asante sobre o paradigma da afrocentricidade. O projeto Afroinfância busca reescrever a narrativa da história da África e se aproximar das tecnologias africanas de educação. Por meio das redes sociais, o projeto desafia as práticas curriculares tradicionais e influencia a formação de professores, incentivando-os a repensarem suas abordagens educativas para melhor atender às necessidades das crianças negras. Assim, o artigo busca apresentar as narrativas de professoras que, em contato com o projeto, refletem sobre processos educativos incorporando princípios curriculares fundamentados no paradigma afrocêntrico, principalmente na Educação Infantil. O Afroinfância destaca a importância de uma educação que não apenas identifique o racismo, mas também valorize as contribuições africanas para a humanidade e, consequentemente, o pensar e fazer educação. Em suma, o Afroinfância posiciona-se como um espaço formativo virtual importante para repensar e promover fissuras dentro do currículo da Educação Infantil, partindo das experiências africanas e afro-diaspóricas para construir um outro modelo de educação, não hegemônico.

Caracterizados por terem uma inteligência acima da média, estarem intrinsecamente motivados e serem altamente criativos, os sobredotados precisam de um atendimento educativo promotor do seu desenvolvimento para impedir o subaproveitamento de capacidades. Esta investigação resultou do reconhecimento de que as atividades criativas promovem o desenvolvimento cognitivo, assim como do entendimento de que a escrita criativa pode ser potenciadora das capacidades dos sobredotados. Este estudo foi desenvolvido com crianças do 3.º ano de escolaridade, referenciadas para diagnóstico de sobredotação que frequentavam um programa de enriquecimento curricular. Objetivou-se perceber os processos criativos acionados aquando da construção de narrativas, a partir de elementos selecionados ao acaso pelos participantes. Pretendeu-se também caracterizar os seus hábitos de leitura/escrita; conhecer a tipologia textual que gostam de escrever; apreender o seu grau de motivação para a leitura/escrita e promover o prazer da escrita. Optou-se por uma abordagem mista, quantitativa para o estudo de variáveis, e qualitativa para a análise de conteúdo dos registos escritos e áudio. Os resultados obtidos permitem perceber que estas crianças não se destacam particularmente por hábitos de leitura/escrita, embora gostem de escrever; quanto aos processos criativos, estas crianças não planificam o texto, sendo a textualização e a revisão feitas quase em simultâneo.

O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender como ocorre o planejamento coletivo de professores da Educação Básica atuantes nas Feiras das Ciências por meio da perspectiva interdisciplinar. Neste recorte de dissertação de mestrado, utiliza-se a pesquisa narrativa como metodologia de pesquisa, analisando as narrativas e memórias sobre as Feiras de professores da Educação Básica. Além disso, em nosso referencial, aprofundamos o entendimento sobre as Feiras e a Interdisciplinaridade. Emprega-se cartas como instrumento de coleta de informações que compõem os textos de campo. Para a realização de Feiras das Ciências sob a perspectiva interdisciplinar, que proporcionem o diálogo entre diferentes participantes e saberes, faz-se necessário fomentar oportunidades de formação docente. Palavras-chave: Feira. Ciências. Interdisciplinaridade. Narrativas. Memórias.

Solidão, medo e desamparo foram alguns dos afetos narrados por quatro sobreviventes da covid-2019, que foram afetados de diferentes maneiras na pandemia. Este artigo busca mapear suas narrativas com a covid-19, em um esforço cartográfico que também tem interesse pelas narrativas orais, aqui tratadas como metodologia. Nossa cartografia dos afetos é alicerçada por base teórica que parte de Espinosa e da virada afetiva dos estudos das humanidades para entender as narrativas e os acontecimentos, além de revisão teórica sobre desinformação. A intenção é fazer uma descida ao cotidiano para entender como quatro sobreviventes possibilitaram a vida por meio de relatos ou silêncios sobre a covid-19, a partir de testemunhos enviados, por WhatsApp, Google Meet, postagens e observações do cotidiano.

El objetivo de este artículo es describir una experiencia de cocreación de narrativas biográficas en el marco del plan de Vinculación con el Medio (VcM) del Magíster en Comunicación Digital y Transmedia (MCDyT), para transitar del espacio privado e íntimo a la conversación pública y común con habitantes de Valparaíso. A través de la lectura colectiva de Imaginarios de mujeres latinoamericanas se realizó una actividad con un grupo de dirigentas vecinales de los cerros del Barrio Almendral de la ciudad-puerto, cuyo diseño consideró cuatro etapas claves: (1) experiencia simétrica en la puesta en escena para la presentación en el soporte web de la publicación; (2) lectura en voz alta, por parte de las asistentes, de relatos biográficos de dicho texto, entrelazando voces diferentes; (3) la conversación guiada sobre historias comunes de las asistentes; y (4) la construcción de nuevas narrativas desde la experiencia biográfica a través de la metáfora del árbol de la vida, que permite categorizar sentimientos, experiencias y metas de vida, de manera amigable y no invasiva. Los resultados de la actividad permiten inferir que la lectura y escritura biográficas, mediante un diseño transmedia, establece vínculos en el territorio mediante el reconocimiento de la otredad y de las propias emociones de las participantes; asimismo, que la divulgación académica con organizaciones comunitarias es necesaria y significativa si se logra una relación simétrica para la transferencia de saberes entre representantes sociales y académicas.

El presente trabajo reflexiona críticamente en torno a la inclusión educativa sobre la base de: a) la labor investigativa desarrollada acerca del derecho a la educación a partir de narrativas de jóvenes con discapacidad en la educación superior, como también de b) diferentes encuentros con estudiantes y docentes de distintos niveles educativos y c) las actividades desarrolladas en el marco de distintas redes en las que confluyen el activismo y el campo académic. Presenta los temas de modo espiralado, es decir, con la intención de desarrollar reflexiones que permitan avanzar en un posicionamiento crítico-activo, pero volviendo permanentemente sobre algunos nudos centrales que tensan el devenir de la inclusión educativa y la discapacidad: la ideología de la normalidad, la lógica binaria, el capacitismo, la colonialidad, los procesos de identificación y la necesidad de promover un giro epistémico para el trabajo institucional cotidiano, tanto en el terreno macro como micropolítico. Se destacan tanto las responsabilidades ineludibles del Estado y de sus sistemas educativos como también de todas las partes que los conformamos.

El texto gira alrededor de discusiones metodológicas sobre la participación de las mujeres en diferentes guerras, sobre sus procesos escriturales. Dichas reflexiones dan cuenta de cómo ciertas naciones moldean mecanismos generizados de exclusión e inclusión, que producen –al atravesar crisis sociales– experiencias, coyunturas, rupturas y permanencias en las fronteras que las personas y sociedades pueden/deben (o no), cruzar. Posteriormente, se analiza cómo ciertas investigaciones sobre guerras posicionan a las mujeres como sujetos que, a través de la palabra escrita, accionan y construyen estratégicamente sus identidades, entornos y narrativas en clave de lo personal y también de lo social, lo político y la lucha. Al problematizar la relación guerra-nación-género- escritura permite mostrar cómo se moldea, (re)produce y (re)define el género –lo masculino y lo femenino– y, cómo éste naturaliza, justifica y legitima la existencia de las guerras y las naciones.

Las huellas culturales africanas se registran en la ciudad de Buenos Aires desde la etapa colonial. Sin embargo, al momento de reconocer su incidencia en el desarrollo de la ciudad, las nociones de invisibilidad y desaparición prevalecen por sobre las ideas de permanencia y continuidad. En las narrativas turísticas porteñas, los relatos del crisol de raza y de la ciudad europea, se encuentran fuertemente instalados. Desde el supuesto de que “en la Argentina no hay negros” se construyó una imagen de sociedad homogénea blanca y europea, que no se condice con la diversidad cultural que caracterizó la matriz multiétnica y pluricultural del país. Este trabajo se propone analizar algunas de las narrativas turísticas vigentes, contrastando las mismas con los datos obtenidos en documentos, base de datos, literatura actualizada y entrevistas. A tal fin, se problematiza la noción de tradiciones inventadas, que como recurso supletorio suele ser utilizado en los relatos turísticos respecto del patrimonio afrodescendiente.

Los estudios biográficos interpelaron a las ciencias sociales desde la década de 1920. Sin embargo, esta forma de observar y analizar los fenómenos sociales sufrió, entre la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la década de 1980, un desplazamiento del escenario metodológico. Desde la óptica de Daniel Bertaux, el olvido en que cayó el método biográfico en ese período puede atribuirse a un doble imperialismo: del estructural-funcionalismo y de la investigación por encuestas. En los años ´80 del siglo XX se produjo una nueva irrupción del método biográfico en el panorama de las ciencias sociales que derivó, progresivamente, en la consolidación de un campo de estudios integrado por múltiples disciplinas (historia, sociología, antropología, estudios literarios, entre otras). El campo de estudios biográficos se caracteriza por la existencia y –en los últimos años– proliferación de indagaciones empíricas que interrelacionan elementos teórico-conceptuales provenientes de diversos ámbitos del saber. En este artículo, presento un conjunto de reflexiones en relación a la utilización del enfoque biográfico en las ciencias sociales. En primer lugar, realizo una breve reseña histórica de los orígenes del método, su desaparición del escenario metodológico, su resurgimiento y, finalmente, su relevancia contemporánea. En segundo lugar, menciono los principales estilos de investigación biográfica, a partir de la tipología elaborada por Ernesto Meccia (2019a). A continuación, señalo las diferencias entre dos nociones que, al interior del enfoque biográfico se utilizan, en ocasiones, de manera intercambiable: historia de vida y relato de vida. Luego, reflexiono sobre el estatuto de verdad en los testimonios. En términos generales, concibo a los testimonios como instrumentos de (re) construcción identitaria y no como meros relatos factuales limitados a una función informativa. Seguidamente, detallo el modo en que los relatos biográficos adquieren una determinada trama, una disposición a partir de los acontecimientos biográficos, puntos de viraje o puntos de inflexión. Finalmente, muestro cómo los relatos biográficos pueden expresar aspectos y problemáticas sociales de diversa índole que trascienden a la propia biografía. Social Sciences have been interested in biographical studies since the 1920s. However, this way of observing and analyzing social phenomena was displaced, between the World War II and the 1980s, from the methodological scene. According to Daniel Bertaux, the oblivion in which the biographical method fell in that period is attributable to a double imperialism: the one of the structural-functionalism and the one of survey research. During the 1980s there was a new appearance of the biographical method within the social sciences that progressively derived in the consolidation of an academic field in which take part multiple disciplines (history, sociology, anthropology, literary studies, among others). The biographical studies field is characterized for the existence and, in the last years, proliferation of empirical research that relate theoretical elements that belong to different fields of knowledge. In this article, I present some reflections on the use of the biographical method within the social sciences. First of all, I make a brief historical review of the method origins, its disappearance from the methodological scene, its resurgence and, finally, its actual relevance. Then, I mention the main biographical research styles, according to the typology made by Ernesto Meccia (2019a). In third place, I highlight the differences between two terms that, within the biographical method field, are used frequently as synonyms: life history and life story. After that, I reflect on the truth status of the testimonies. In general terms, I conceive testimonies as tools for identity (re) construction and not only as factual accounts limited to an informative function. Then, I specify the way in which life stories assume a certain plot, an arrangement that is given by the biographical events or turning points. Finally, I show how life stories can express different social issues and problems that go beyond the biography itself.

To what extent can nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) communicate policy problems in an authoritarian country, and how limited are they in narrating policy alternatives? This article seeks to develop studies on the application of the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) in Russia, extend our knowledge about the use of narrative strategies in centralized and authoritarian policy processes, highlight certain methodological peculiarities related to the devil–angel shift calculation, and test causal mechanism hypotheses that have not previously been applied to the analysis of policy debates in Russia. The study examines hypotheses based on the narrative strategies (devil–angel shift, scope of conflict, and causal mechanisms) that were used by government and NGO coalitions in the debate about “landscape fire” policies in Russia over the period 2019–2021. The results show that the differences between the coalition's narrative strategies were not as significant as had been shown previously. The government coalition uses a strong angel shift in its narratives and avoids conflict expansion. The NGO coalition demonstrates a moderate angel shift, but with the use of conflict expansion in parts of the narratives. Both coalitions use the intentional or inadvertent causal mechanism blaming the citizens for starting the fires, but differ in employing causal mechanisms when discussing the large scale of landscape fires.

Introduction: The presidential elections in Colombia were marked by the use of TikTok as an electoral campaign strategy. The aim of this article is to analyze the use of this social network in the candidacies of Gustavo Petro and Rodolfo Hernández. Methodology: A qualitative approach is used, taking as working corpus two hundred contents made on TikTok by the two candidates from the official announcement of their candidacies until the end of the second round of elections. The information was organized with content analysis matrices and data processing in Python, from three conceptual categories in electoral campaigns: a. Intentions: creation of communicative pieces by the candidates based on the production possibilities of TikTok and hashtags; b. Strategies: political emotions and narratives of the candidates; c. Intentions: political emotions and narratives of the candidates; d. Intentions: political emotions and narratives of the candidates; e. Intentions: political emotions and narratives of the candidates. Strategies: political emotions and prototypical narratives that standardize the performance of campaigns, from the speeches issued in the social network; and c. Tools: users' interest in the electoral contest, taking as a reference Google trends reports and levels of engagement with the content. Results and Discussion: a. The personalization of the political leader predominates from an emotional and short story that does not exceed one minute of exposure and oriented to show himself close to the forms of multimedia interaction of TikTok; b. The narrative roles are focused in both cases with political emotions oriented to change and in which they are self-represented as heroes with the mission of bringing hope to their voters in the face of crisis and uncertainty scenarios; c. The accounts of the candidates surpass in popularity and interest the news related to spaces for debate of proposals and government plans. Although both campaigns had slight decreases in content production for the second round, Petro maintained a growth curve and level of engagement with users, while Hernandez reduced his interaction and impact. Conclusions: The article contributes to the literature on political campaigns with the arrival of TikTok and the increase in the use of social networks and digital platforms as marketing strategies in future electoral scenarios.

Data is insufficient to guide political practices. Following the culture turn, politics and international relations studies can be enriched by incorporating the analysis of political myths. Exploring them as key elements within our knowledge structures allows us to explain discrepancies in the behaviour of political actors. Through qualitative interpretive research, I conceptualize political myths as modular and strategic metanarratives. For the empirical study, I operationalize the concept through its functions and connect them to the field of weapon governance showing that political agency is directly influenced by political myths.

Even though some theories of reasoning recognize the importance of accounting for its social dimensions, they have problems integrating its evolutionary past. Mercier and Sperber, for instance, have argued for the need to incorporate an evolutionary account of cognition into a theory of reasoning. Still, the underlying cognitive individualism in their theory seriously impairs incorporating the narrative structure of reasoning. We claim that the source of the problem is an underlying adaptationist model of evolution. We suggest that an evolutionary model that takes developmental niches as its main evolutionary unit provides a better way of understanding reasoning. Such an account views reasoning as a bio-social achievement, mainly structured in (proto)narratives answering to norms implicit in practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Current discussions in the political arena tend to be very unproductive and difficult to resolve. Recent literature suggests that this is the case because most of our political discussions are instances of deep disagreement. Against this story, this paper explores an alternative route: deep disagreements don’t tend to be more unfruitful than other types of disagreement. But then, why many real-life cases of political deep disagreement seem to be so unproductive and difficult to resolve? To address this question, I first distinguish two senses in which a discussion can be considered “deep”, and call them deep disagreement and deep conflict. Second, I argue that most of our current political discussions are unfruitful not because they are instances of deep disagreement, but of deep conflict. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This feminist-oriented text revolves around methodological discussions regarding women's participation in different wars, specifically their writing processes within the context of armed conflicts. These reflections shed light on how certain nations shape gendered mechanisms of exclusion and inclusion, which, when undergoing social crises, produce experiences, junctures, ruptures, and continuities at the borders that individuals and societies can (or cannot) cross. Subsequently, the text analyzes how certain studies on wars position women as subjects who strategically act and construct their identities, environments, and narratives through the written word, both at a personal, societal, political, and activist level. By problematizing the relationship between war, nation, gender, and writing, it is revealed how gender, both masculine and feminine, is moulded, (re)produced, and (re)defined, and how it naturalizes, justifies, and legitimizes the existence of wars and nations.

In the relationships between foundations and communities, resources of different types are mobilized and those who receive them are seen in an asymmetrical position; this study seeks to identify and interpret the narrative elements that characterize the perceptions about philanthropic practices among communities in Mexico; as well as to characterize the narrative elements that question the hegemonic definitions of philanthropy. Based on three workshops, with the participation of 70 people from 19 Mexican states, we analyzed knowledge and perceptions regarding the definition of community philanthropy, the recognition of differentiated contributions between men and women, and the recognition of the types of resources and how they are mobilized. The people participating in the workshops do not identify with a generalized definition of Community Philanthropy, but rather different philanthropic practices were made visible related to the work carried out in the private and public spheres, the processes of memory recovery and attachment to the territory. It is concluded that the visibility of the resources contributed by the communities, mainly the intangible ones, promotes symmetrical relationships; as well as recognizing that external donations enhance the processes that are already taking place within the communities.

In this article we address the construction of the national-popular narrative in militant youth during the period of "kirchnerista" governments in Argentina (2003-2015). Our starting assumption is that the political situation of agonal tension that began in 2008 enabled the emergence of official youth participation, within the framework of a national-popular articulation as a principle of identification of the government of Cristina Fernández. In this scenario, we show the results of interviews with young militants that were proposed as an exercise in narrative memory. We order this analysis in three moments (i- in a biographical and generational key, ii- militancy in the ideological and identity configuration of Kirchnerism, iii- discontinuities after 2015). We conclude with the question about the formation of a new generation within the nationalpopular tradition [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
