Effects of economic liberalization on regional social mobility in Brazil
type: item
description: Social mobility is essential to reducing inequalities, promoting equity, and fostering economic development. This study analyzes the effect of economic liberalization on social mobility in micro-regions of Brazil. To measure regional exposure to openness, the methodology of Dix-Carneiro is applied. Social mobility is approximated from a variable constructed from census data from 1980, 1991, 2000, and 2010, which relates the educational attainment of parents and children. Results indicate that between 1991 and 2000, liberalization reduced social mobility in more exposed regions, and this effect worsened twenty years later. The impact was greater for children of parents with low education, black parents, and single mothers. In addition, liberalization reduced formal employment and wages and increased informal employment.

Instruments for measuring Subjective Well-Being in adults: a systematic review
type: item
description: The study presents a systematic review of scientific publications on instruments for measuring Subjective Well-Being (SWB) in adults, using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) model. The databases used were PubMed, PsycInfo, and the Virtual Health Library (VHL). Twenty-three studies were analyzed according to the following categories: 1) validity and/or reliability assessment studies; 2) creation and validation studies; 3) invariance studies; 4) correlational studies; 5) invariance and intergroup comparison studies; 6) correlational and validation studies; 7) invariance and correlational studies; 8) adaptation and validation studies. Results indicate that five instruments encompassing populations aged 18-65 years were covered. It was observed that they are used in different countries; moreover, validity and reliability were evident, which supports their choice for assessments and research. In addition, findings guide interventions and public policies aimed at promoting quality of life.

Forever Undefeated. Travesti Memory and Necropolitics in El Carmen de Bolívar, Colombia
type: item
description: This article examines the life history and murders of Nawar Jiménez and Dania Polo, two trans women, in El Carmen de Bolívar, Colombia, to understand the structural conditions that shaped the differential production of life and death in rural contexts. Based on a situated and embodied ethnographic approach—including fieldwork, interviews, and local memory-building processes—it analyzes the forms of violence, exclusion, and moral regulation that frame their lives. The article shows that these deaths are not isolated events but expressions of a necropolitical order that produces disposable lives, while also highlighting everyday practices of travesti re-existence that sustain life through care, affect, and presence. It proposes mourning as a political practice that, although it does not disrupt the structures that enable these deaths, allows memory to persist and challenges social erasure.

Living at the Margins: Stories of Male Sex Workers in a Caribbean Tourist Enclave
type: item
description: This article analyzes five life stories of male sex workers in the tourist enclave of Boca Chica, Dominican Republic, to understand how racism, institutional exclusion, and the sexualization of the racialized body shape their trajectories. Based on narrative interviews and an intersectional, decolonial approach to masculinity, this study examines their affective relationships, agency strategies, and the meanings of life in contexts of structural inequality. In contrast to pathologizing perspectives on sex work, the article proposes a critical and situated reading that recognizes these narratives as embodied knowledge. It highlights their potential to challenge colonial imaginaries about desire, the body, and masculinity, and brings up the urgency of embracing epistemologies arising from the margins. The article contributes to a complex and ethical understanding of male sex work in Caribbean contexts.

Disputes regarding the modification of the Code of Coexistence and appropriation of urban space in La Plata, Argentina (2018-2021)
type: item
description: This article explores the disputes related to the modification of the Code of Coexistence promoted by La Plata City Administration. The purpose of this study is to inquire into the lineaments of the preliminary draft and the critical observations made by different civil society organizations. It focuses on the activity of urban recyclers—one of the actors who questioned the governmental project. A qualitative approach was used to analyze urban public policies, social demands on the use of space, and daily urban practices of this social group in order to account for conflicting ways of understanding the city. Thanks to the investigation of situated social practices, it was possible to recognize forms of collective mobilization that make up a public problem and, in turn, configure other ways of inhabiting the urban space.

Technological practice to safeguard and promote native languages from Vaupés
type: item
description: This study analyzes the use of digital technologies in a project aimed at strengthening local capacities in native language research in the department of Vaupés, Colombia. Using an interdisciplinary approach, we developed several digital resources, including a digital research repository, a bulletin board, a web page, and multimedia content in the native language and Spanish. Inspired by the concept of technological practice, we argue that technology can enhance native language safeguarding processes if it is viewed as a system involving technical, organizational, and cultural aspects. Related concepts such as social appropriation of knowledge and scientific communication were implemented to work on organizational and cultural aspects, through transmedia content, and address communication needs in a multilingual and culturally diverse territory. This work contributes to showing how technologies as a practice can provide technically robust, culturally appropriate, and sustainable solutions.

How did we perform during the pandemic? The influence of content nature and collaborative covenants on online assessment
type: item
description: The emergence of COVID-19 forced the change towards virtual education at all levels and implied a great challenge for traditional teaching and evaluation methodologies. This article statistically analyzes the performance of students at a Chilean public university before, during, and after confinement in theoretical-conceptual and logical-procedural subjects, specifically those taught between 2019 and 2022. Results show that, in online evaluations, students obtained higher grades and lower error and omission rates than in traditional evaluations; the logical-procedural subject obtained the lowest grades in both formats. It is argued that plagiarism or peer collaboration pacts are no guarantee of better performance, since their effectiveness is conditioned by the nature of the content, the characteristics of the evaluation instrument, and the quality of the knowledge distributed within the group.

Creative Districts and Geoparks as strategies for raising awareness and articulating actors for sustainable territorial development
type: item
description: This proposal aims to reflect on the relationship between communication and development, as well as to understand how cultural movements are linked to development policies through communication, based on the experiences of the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil: the Center-Gare Creative District in Santa Maria (RS) and UNESCO World Geoparks in Caçapava do Sul and Quarta Colônia (RS). These three experiences highlight that it is essential to reflect on a more participatory communication model, one that is grounded in proposals for local, human and sustainable development, which respect cultures, recognize antagonisms and place communication at the service of development and expansion of citizenship. In this sense, communication presents itself as one of the dimensions of sustainable territorial development, since knowledge and information have become factors for reducing inequalities, adding value and promoting well-being.

Why take care of natural resources? Jurisprudential construction of a green constitution in the key of the ecocentric paradigm in Colombia
type: item
description: This paper presents the conclusions drawn from the study of nine judicial decisions that declared natural expressions as subjects of law. The decisions and their arguments were discussed from a legal-philosophical perspective. The objective of this study was to identify, throughout each judgment, the ratio decidendi, expressed in a double direction. On the one hand, there is the connection between the defense of nature as the most suitable means for the conservation of communities and future generations, an anthropocentric paradigm. On the other hand, the protection of nature and its vital network as an end in itself, ecocentric paradigm. These judgments were selected for three reasons: they are recent, the legal impact of the decision, and the philosophical substratum that guided the jurisdictional argumentative basis to talk about the protection of natural resources.

Self-employed subjectivity among Colombian farmers. Forms of work and relationship with land from peasant families experience in Antioquia and Caldas, Colombia
type: item
description: This study sought to elucidate the types of subjectivity observed among self-employed farmers in Colombia. Research was conducted in three Colombian municipalities, two in the department of Antioquia and one in Caldas. Symbolic interactionism was employed as methodology and sampling was conducted using the snowball method. In addition, guidelines for theoretical sampling were followed with participants from eight rural family units. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using grounded theory concepts and mechanisms. Findings suggest that: (1) there is a form of subjectivity among self-employed farmers who work their own land; (2) such subjectivity entails a reciprocal relationship where the farmer cares for the land and vice-versa; (3) furthermore, the self-employed lifestyle produces a unique relationship between the subject and time, which we called ‘the subject-land temporality’. The study concludes that the self-employed lifestyle and subjectivity constitute an alternate route that is not captured by neoliberal imperatives of the present.

Embera Chamí Women's experiences of peacebuilding and healing of the territory
type: item
description: This article examines the notion of territorial peace through memories of the armed conflict and the processes of resistance and healing led by women in two Embera Chamí communities in Caldas and Caquetá. Through participatory methodologies, particularly social cartographies and body cartographies, the different effects that war has had on the identity and socio-ecological relations of these communities with their territories are shown, as well as their bets on peacebuilding and healing. It is noteworthy that the concept of territorial peace requires to re-dimension the territory socially, ecologically, and culturally to understand peacebuilding from the living links with Earth, which are crossed by memories of violence, healing practices, and collective life projects. A non-anthropocentric understanding of peace building is proposed, focused on care and harmony with other beings and entities of nature.

Inheriting the Memory of Armed Conflict: Intergenerational Memory-Building with Rural Youth (Colombia)
type: item
description: Intergenerational transmission of memory in societies with violent pasts is often mediated by silences and partial narratives that hinder the ethical-political positioning of victims and their heirs. This article explores memory-building dynamics with young people from rural Samaná (Colombia), who grew up after the victimization period experienced in this territory between 1999 and 2005. The methodology was qualitative. Techniques such as observation, interviews, and discussion groups were employed and led to the creation of a performance that facilitated the construction of conflict memory. This study found that inherited memory among young people is confined to the family sphere, while silence prevails in public spaces. It was evidenced that, with institutional support, young people expand their memory and build emotional bonds with what their elders experienced, thus giving new meaning to the present and future of their community.

Amulets for fearless wandering: using textile objects as a methodological tool in research-creation
type: item
description: This article presents the design of a research-creation methodological tool based on the making of a textile amulet to be displayed in public space. The proposal was developed in Cali, Colombia (2020–2022), through a process focused on women’s city inhabiting experiences and on exploring how intimate textile practices, such as sewing circles, can foster exchange spaces in urban settings. Results highlight that the textile amulet acts as a qualitative tool that brings together orality, materiality, and affect, thus enabling situated forms of encounter, conversation, and circulation of experiences in the public space.

Peacebuilding mediation: contributions of the local Catholic Church to the Havana agreements. The case of the Diocese of Buga
type: item
description: This article sought to understand, through an interpretive reading of the event in question—phenomenology—the practical development of ecclesiastical mediation in peacebuilding, with the intersection between the subjective experience of a Colombian priest and the cultural, social, and political expressions that defined the Catholic Church's participation in the demobilization of the armed insurgent group Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo FARC-EP. From a local setting in Valle del Cauca, the recorded history addressed the relevance of the testimony under the analysis of its trajectory through theoretical contributions on post-liberal peace, leadership in peacebuilding, mediation, and ecclesiastical operations in peace processes. It concludes that, in this mediation, the search for multidimensional reconciliation converged. An ethnographic, emotional, and reflective approach, immersed in a continuous reconfiguration towards the post-secular in the modern era.

Is it me who dreams? The emergence of field dreams and witch dreams in an ethnography and a life
type: item
description: In this article, I want to explore a part of the universe that opens up to the ethnographer through what I call Field dreams. How to confer entity to this seemingly irrelevant material? What new agencies come into play in field dreams, and how to be delicate enough not to ruin them in their subsequent inscription? To answer these questions, I will revisit fragments from two ethnographies I conducted in Buenos Aires in different decades: one with residents of squatted houses in the 90s and another around a recent judicial case declaring Sandra, the orangutan confined in the local zoo, as a rights-bearing subject. Field dreams can take up habitus of the people we work with, harbor a multispecies encounter, be a thinking entity that processes itself through us, or reinvent our ways of thinking and practicing our craft.

Green Growth. A critical reading from Social Anthropology based on Antonio Gramsci
type: item
description: From the perspective of social anthropology, and influenced by Antonio Gramsci, I present a critical analysis of “green growth” and its fundamental principles. I focus on the power dimension that sustains this proposed “solution” to global warming and the current environmental crisis, and attempt to answer a question posed by techno-economic critiques of the energy transition (the basis of green growth). It refers to the reasons why green growth is still a policy of multilateral agencies, despite the empirical evidence that disputes its viability which is just starting to appear in projections that tend to zero and negative growth rates. I argue that the answer to this question will not come from analyzing technical or economic possibilities of the transition, but from weighing the power conditions that sustain the imagination of a capitalism non-reliant on fossil energy.

Body, Territory, Land, and Work: Black Labor and Resistance to Oil Palm Plantations in the Colombian Caribbean
type: item
description: Oil palm plantations have reconfigured the territory in the Montes de María region, especially the landscape and way of life of Black peasant communities in the area. While researchers have focused on the resistance of these communities to the expansion of oil palm, in this article, I elaborate on how workers understand and resist plantation work and exploitation. Here, the concept of body-territory-land from community feminists and Marxist approaches to body and labor support my analysis of the material I collected through field interviews and participant observation. With this conceptual apparatus, I point out how understanding plantation work requires an account of the relations that configure the territory. Land occupation practices of local Black communities, capital-labor relations expressed in the work conditions, and conditions of contracted production that shape the territory allow Black workers to understand their labor in the palm plantation and resist exploitation.

Intercultural communicative competence: inclusive teaching practices in vulnerable educational contexts in Catalonia
type: item
description: This study aims at identifying pedagogical practices that demonstrate the intercultural communicative competence (ICC) of kindergarten and primary school teachers, who have worked in vulnerable educational contexts during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. A multiple case study was conducted with two public schools in Catalonia. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with schools management teams (n=2), as well as with families (n=2); and a focus group was held with the teaching staff (n=18) for data collection. Thematic analysis in ATLAS.ti v9 revealed four key themes: personalizing teaching and understanding diversity, building an inclusive school culture, using technological and digital tools, and building positive relationships. It is proposed that a contextualized and planned training specifically oriented towards the development of ICC could be an appropriate and timely tool to address the needs of a culturally and linguistically diverse multicultural school.

Designing educational projects in community contexts. A case study in Celrà (Catalonia, Spain)
type: item
description: Previous works have shown the need to contextualize learning in community settings to strengthen identity and social cohesion in culturally diverse contexts. Recently, the “Community Funds of Knowledge and Identity” approach has been suggested with the dual purpose of linking school work with the local context and fostering shared identifications; however, its implementation process has not been described. The objective of this design-based research was to illustrate the creation of an educational project by a study group formed by different social, educational, and community agents in the municipality of Celrà (Catalonia, Spain). Results show the need to foster ecological leadership, recognize previous work, and set a community milestone to articulate the collaborative work. Implications for school and public policies in education derived from the study are also discussed.

A Look at Teaching Work from the Paradigm of Ecocriticism and Ecofeminism
type: item
description: This work aims to describe the perception of secondary education teachers and under-graduate students about the environmental problem and its relationship with gender issues. For this, we applied surveys to two groups: Spanish Language and Communications teachers at Los Lagos region (Chile) and undergraduate students throughout Chile from the perspective of ecocriticism and ecofeminism. As a result, in both cases, a significant gap between the idealized perception of the natural world and the real experience was found. The case of teachers is especially significant because they point out the differences between initial teacher training and the reality of daily teaching work. Both groups highlight the lack of a clear and articulated connection between environmental and gender issues.

How to read where there are reading machines. A context for content production and distribution mediated by search engines on the web
type: item
description: Search engines (SEs), and their PageRank and RankBrain algorithms, act as mediators between texts, their providers, and their readers in the web space. The aim of this article is to contribute to the construction of a context for the production and distribution of such texts in a specific and prominent space: the web whose particularities are not necessarily addressed when discussing digital literacy. Building such contexts, from the creation of texts to their reading, is a transdisciplinary method used in this article to identify the effects of MB mediation on the ability to interpret these contents. The contexts described evidence, among other effects, the opacity of search technologies, the biases present in the results and the visibility they achieve thanks to specific writing techniques.

University teachers’ identity reconfiguration in the pandemic context
type: item
description: The current study aims to show the identity reconfiguration dynamics in university teachers based on their life experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Theoretically, an intersection is made between the Semiotic Cultural Psychology perspective and the Dialogical Self Theory approach. Methodologically, an idiographic qualitative study was carried out with three participants—university professors—who show the dynamics of change due to the pandemic through an in-depth interview and a visual technique. Although the three cases show individual experiences, it is noteworthy that they created common meanings around the pandemic and the social outbreak as a fundamental part of their lives. The results led to acknowledge how ruptures and transitions allow us to understand the psychological adjustments between a person and their sociocultural environment

Passaport Edunauta: A tool for equity, connectedness, and creation of learning opportunities. An analysis in the light of Connected Learning
type: item
description: Passaport Edunauta emerges as a community outreach tool, designed to foster learning opportunities and promote equitable access to extracurricular activities by aligning territorial resources with the educational needs of schools. It is promoted by the Jaume Bofill Foundation and the cooperative +Educació in Catalonia. Nineteen territories participated between 2021 and 2022. This article presents the results of the first year of evaluation and a theoretical discussion of the principles of connected learning, with a specific focus on three key dimensions: equity, connectedness, and quality. Data collection was made through tailored surveys aimed at teachers, learners, and Edunauta spaces. These surveys yielded quantitative results, and their analysis was outsourced. The findings underline the need to strengthen connections through targeted interventions and highlight equity as a prominent feature of the tool, as well as the need to conceive it as an ongoing challenge in its deployment.

The development of inclusive voice during participation in a professional learning community
type: item
description: Educational quality implies considering diversity and inclusion as a fundamental challenge in the search for equity, justice, and democracy. Likewise, professional identity linked to inclusion is still a controversial and unfinished issue. From the dialogical perspective, this study identifies and conceptualizes to what extent the repertoire of positions of a group of teachers shares or does not share an inclusive voice and how they evolve, identifying characteristics more and less easily modified. We use a descriptive longitudinal design and analyze the development of teaching positions and voices (hybrid and inclusive) over an academic year. The study identifies four most frequent identity positions, among them I as a promoter of positive learning environments that has an ease to transit an inclusive voice; on the contrary, the position I as a planner and designer of teaching and learning processes presents difficulties to be reconstructed as inclusive.

The analysis of the urban intervention in Cartolandia, seen through the photo-voice method from 1955-1972
type: item
description: This paper addresses the irregular settlement of Cartolandia in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico in1955, until its eviction in 1972. Using the Photo-voice methodology it allows the interviewees to give voice to the selected photographs. This method helps to rescue studies of oral memory, detecting emotions, events, anecdotes and feedback from the experiences of the actors. It is concluded that the process of gentrification helped the city to redesign its urban fabric, but for the locals, the social stigma and the breakdown of social cohesion and community identity persist.

Expectativas y realidades de la vivienda para la clase media: el caso del barrio Las Terrazas de Bucaramanga, 1961-1970
type: item
description: En este artículo, de carácter exploratorio, se indagó por las relaciones entre las políticas nacionales destinadas a garantizar el acceso a la vivienda para clases medias, el crecimiento urbano y el cambio económico, con las condiciones locales que influyeron en la participación de empresas privadas y de los habitantes, a mediados del siglo XX en Bucaramanga (Colombia). Esta experiencia analizada se enmarcó en una tendencia latinoamericana, pues el intenso crecimiento urbano en la región y el marco de la polarización política, derivada de la Guerra Fría, llevaron a que el tema de la vivienda fuese central en las políticas públicas de la época. El trabajo se basó en la revisión de información de prensa, informes oficiales y cartografía de la época. Los resultados de la indagación realizada confirman las dificultades y contradicciones que el caso del barrio Las Terrazas representó como modelo de barrio de clase media.

Between Hospital and School: Children, Caregivers and Teachers perceptions of the Pilot Phase of a Hospital Classroom in Colombia
type: item
description: The document is the product of a systematization of experiences that recovered the voices of the participants using interviews, focus groups and image associations. It was found that emergency remote education, used as a pilot of the program and employed due to the covid 19 pandemic, was a cultural artifact that facilitated the socialization of children with their peers and enabled the construction of meaningful learning anchored to their cognitive, affective, and social development. In addition, the hospital classroom was perceived as a source of emotional and social support for the children and their caregivers. Finally, the participating actors perceived that state entities should improve their responses to the educational demand of the hospitalized child population.
