1. La aporía de la muerte: comunicación entre vivos y muertos.

Author

Mazzetti-Latini, Carolina

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to approach the social construction of death from some contributions of Jacques Derrida, who originated deconstruction as a writing and analysis strategy. The main objective is not to exhaustively explore the author's work --exhaustiveness that would go against his ontological proposal--, but rather to take some analytical categories and make them available to communication between the living and the dead. The theoretical-methodological strategy is based on a qualitative research design from the analysis of stories within an interpretive biographical framework. It starts from interviews that narrate personal experiences of any communication with the dead or reflections on the belief about the possibility of this contact in order to problematize the life/death communication register and account for the operability of the Derridian logic. The paper is part of a research process that verifies the main assumptions that shape the social meaning of death, whose preliminary results emphasize the need to transcend binarism and dichotomies to accommodate contradictory and paradoxical aspects of life and death. The conclusion, and hence the contribution of this approach that advocates spectral becoming, is that life/death polarization provides substantial elements to reintroduce the reflection on communication understood as a hermeneutical device; that is, death becomes a metaphor for thinking about communication.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this thesis was to determine the degree of difference between anthropometric and heel pad tissue characteristics of the lower extremities of PMHS compared to living populations as well as to establish a wholistic procedure for extensive measurements of the foot using methodology previously used in lower limb anthropometry, x-ray imaging, and ultrasound imaging studies.Methods: Thirty-seven PMHS were included in the anthropometry analysis, 21 PMHS were included in the x-ray analysis, and 32 PMHS were included in the ultrasound analysis. For the anthropometry, measurements were taken in seated and standing positions and included bimalleolar breadth, heel breadth, navicular height (medial prominence), navicular height (inferior medial border), talar head height, plantar curvature height, lateral malleolar height, medial malleolar height, acropodion foot length, hallux foot length, horizontal foot breadth, ball of foot length, and dorsum height. Comparisons were then made between left and right feet, seated and standing positions, males and females, and PMHS and living populations. For the x-ray analysis, two of the anthropometry measurements, navicular height (inferior medial border) and talar head height, had values for anthropometry compared against measurements determined through x-ray imaging. For the ultrasound analysis, ultrasound images were taken of the plantar foot at the calcaneus at loadings of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 Newtons. Thicknesses, stiffnesses, and compressibility indexes were determined using the images, and these values were then compared against values seen in living populations. Results: Left and right feet were found to have no significant differences in anthropometry. Seated and standing positions were found to be significantly different in 12 of the 13 measurements. Male values were found to be significantly different from female values in both seated and standing positions for all measurements except for plantar curvature height. By determining percent difference values between seated and standing positions for both males and females, no significant difference was found between sexes in their respective measurement changes from seated to standing positions except in plantar curvature height and lateral malleolus height. Eleven of the 13 measurements showed agreement between PMHS and living populations, with talar head height and plantar curvature height showing greater than 10% difference. In the x-ray analysis, navicular height was significantly different between anthropometry and x-ray values, and talar height was not significantly different. In the ultrasound analysis PMHS were found to have thinner and stiffer heel pads with lower compressibility than living populations.Conclusions: A wholistic procedure for foot measurements and analysis was developed which incorporates methodology from previous literature. For foot measurement, x-ray imaging was shown to be necessary for certain landmarks but not for others. Results from this study have provided quantification of posture and sex differences as well as quantification for differences between PMHS and living populations for foot anthropometry. Differences were also quantified for the thickness, stiffness, and compressibility of PMHS compared to living populations. The results show that PMHS anthropometry sufficiently represents that of living people’s anthropometry when sex and postural differences are accounted for, but PMHS is not representative of living populations regarding heel pad thickness, stiffness, or compressibility, and these differences must be considered in lower extremity testing.

Abstract

El propósito del artículo consiste en una aproximación a la construcción social de la muerte desde algunos aportes de quien instalara la deconstrucción como estrategia de escritura y análisis, Jacques Derrida. El objetivo central no consiste en recorrer exhaustivamente la obra del autor (exhaustividad que iría en contra de su propuesta ontológica), sino más bien en tomar algunas categorías analíticas y ponerlas al servicio de la comunicación entre vivos y muertos. La estrategia teórico-metodológica se sostiene en un diseño de investigación cualitativa basado en el análisis de relatos desde un marco biográfico interpretativo. Se parte de relatos de entrevistas que narran experiencias personales de algún tipo de comunicación con personas fallecidas o de reflexiones acerca de la creencia en torno a la posibilidad de este contacto, para problematizar el registro comunicacional vida/muerte y dar cuenta de la operatividad de la lógica derridiana. El trabajo se enmarca en un proceso de investigación que rastrea los principales supuestos que modelan el sentido social de la muerte, cuyos resultados preliminares ponen en evidencia la necesidad de trascender los binarismos y las dicotomías para alojar la contradicción y lo paradójico en torno a la vida y la muerte. La conclusión, y de ahí el aporte de este enfoque que aboga por el devenir espectral, radica en que la polarización vida/muerte aporta elementos sustanciales para retomar la reflexión en torno a la comunicación entendida como dispositivo hermenéutico. Es decir, la muerte se constituye en metáfora para pensar la comunicación.
