Esencialismo psicológico: Herramienta conceptual para estudiar la discriminación de la mujer en Colombia.

El esencialismo psicológico es una teoría legal concerniente a la naturaleza de los grupos humanos, y se presenta como la tendencia a creer que los miembros de un grupo tienen una esencia o naturaleza subyacente que define su identidad. El esencialismo psicológico plantea a partir de determinismos causales, diferencias entre grupos y categorías sociales. Para identificar la presencia de creencias esencialistas sobre el género en el discurso de hombres y mujeres colombianos, se realizó un análisis de contenido de cuatro grupos focales, dos de los cuales estaban conformados por hombres y dos por mujeres, discutiendo alrededor de una temática común: las posibles implicaciones sociales de ser mujer en Colombia. La información fue registrada en medio audio y el análisis cualitativo se realizó con la ayuda del software Atlas-Ti, versión 7.0. El proceso de codificación inicial estuvo informado por la revisión de literatura que generó categorías orientadoras. Posteriormente se identificaron categorías emergentes, y se procedió a contrastar la información de los dos tipos de categorías (teóricas y empíricas), para finalmente reflexionar acerca del pensamiento esencialista y la discriminación de género enfocado en la mujer. Se identificó que tanto hombres como mujeres, recurrieron a explicaciones esencialistas, como determinantes culturales, sociales y biológicos para explicar o justificar las desigualdades en el poder social entre los grupos. Sin embargo, se identificaron también ideas no esencialistas contrarias al sistema de creencias esencialistas, en cuanto a la percepción de cambio social de la situación de la mujer en el país.

Mobile Internet : perspectives from the Stakeholders

Mobile internet represents a major new trend in communication technologies use and consumption, but few evidence exists that confirms claims of novelty and social change in association with this technology use. This paper characterizes the use of mobile internet in a southern European country and associated patterns of use, focusing both on users’ profiles, forms of access, motivations to use and most popular activities undertaken via this technology, from a diffusion of innovations and social adoption of technologies perspectives, and tries to compare mobile it with fixed access to the internet in order to validate possible transformations that point to new social configurations. We seek to understand the way stakeholders perceive and characterize the European context of mobile internet. The depicted study involved a qualitative stage consisting of a set of interviews with mobile communications industry representatives and market research community in the country. These interviews were analysed in Nvivo, leading to the following eleven main categories that are explored throughout the paper: smartphones in Europe, mobile internet in Europe, users profiles, obstacles to the spread, forms of access, forms of use, motivations to use mobile internet, limitations of smartphones, apps, digital divide VS digital union and predictions for the future, as well as several subcategories forming a tree categorization. According to the data collected, mobile phones’ sales are decreasing in Europe and worldwide but on the other hand smartphones are having an exponential growth which leads to the democratization of internet access via mobile devices. As a consequence of this, it is believed that mobile internet access will soon exceed the fixed one. Mobile internet users are multiplatform, they exploit all the possibilities of mobility and they are spending less time on computers. The main obstacles to the spread of mobile internet are the high prices of price plans and there is still a lack of information and knowledge regarding the service. Mobile internet users are developing new online surfing behaviours based on apps and less in browsers and social networks represent a very high share of internet traffic through mobile phones. With mobility, “dead time” is turning into useful time and users are more likely to be available to try new services and analyze products. Innovative services concerning geolocation, consumerism, share and relationships are growing and it is necessary to highlight that mobile internet allows calling and texting, which can turn telecommunications companies into the role of Dump Pipes. This exploratory design raises questions in relation with mobile internet access and its social consequences, and provides interesting indicative research results relevant for future research in this area.

O direito de ser diferente dos alunos com deficiência em uma universidade brasileira : análise de fatos e da concepção deste corpo discente

O direito ao acesso à educação escolar compreende-se como alicerce para que a pessoa com deficiência possa verdadeiramente tornar-se um cidadão na construção dos ideários democráticos, participação na vida econômica e política. Dados apresentados pelo IBGE sobre o aspecto educacional das pessoas com deficiência no ensino superior é bastante preocupante. Mediante Censo realizado pelo MEC, alunos com deficiência matriculados nas universidades representam apenas 0,1% do total. A CR/1988 instituiu o Estado Democrático de Direito, cuja implementação fática está condicionada à busca de uma igualdade substancial, onde o acesso à educação é uma ferramenta e um direito fundamental para emancipação social, cultural, e econômica, inclusive, desse segmento e na tutela da dignidade humana. Ações afirmativas fazem-se necessárias a essas pessoas, no sentido de corrigir desigualdades, balizada pela educação inclusiva que concatena com a ideia de universidade inclusiva e de uma sociedade também inclusiva, caminhando justamente na intenção de corrigir desigualdades de oportunidades, buscando dirimir a ótica excludente do atual estágio social. Este estudo analisa fatos e concepções dos alunos com deficiência e de um docente da UFPE, sob a ótica de que a educação escolar inclusiva constitui paradigma educacional fundamentado na concepção de que igualdade e diferença são valores indissociáveis na construção de uma sociedade mais justa e solidária.

museology and community development in the XXI Century

Each time more, museology professionals are confronted with terms such as community, social inequality, social inclusion and development in their quotidian. Be it in conferences, publications or museum programmes, these are increasingly recurrent terms which, in great part, translate the dynamics of a relationship between museology and community development that has been constructed since the late 60’s. Although it is not new, such relationship has gone through a major bloom in the early 90’s and arrives today as an emerging priority within the world of museology. A first glance on the subject reveals that very different approaches and forms of action share the efforts in endowing museology with a role in community development today. In addition, despite of its growing popularity, it seems to be some misunderstandings on what the work with community development requires and truly signifies, as can be pointed out in a number of assertions originated from the field of museology. Accompanying such a plural environment, discussions and disagreements about to what extend museology is able to claim a role in social change also mark its affairs with community development. People are faced, indeed, with a rather polemic and intricate scenario. To a great extend, language barriers hinder the exchange of information on current initiatives and previous experiences, as well as on the development of concepts, approaches and proposals. Lack of better interactions among the groups of museology professionals and social actors who carry out different works with community development also contributes to making the potential of museology as a resource for development more difficult to be visualised.

Socio-cultural visions of interactivity within Museums

The ideas on which this paper is based are drawn from my thesis “Interactivity in Museums. A Relationship Building Perspective” written in 2007 for the fulfillment of the Master Degree in Museology at the Reinwardt Academy in Amsterdam. The main arguments are that the notion of Interactivity conceptualized within a technological orientation coupled with the pedagogic approach of mere information transmission need to be reconsidered; that Interactivity in museums is a conception both misinterpreted and under-implemented; and that the problems of understanding Interactivity will resolve by identifying the aspects which define Interactivity and most importantly focus on why they matter in a broader socio-cultural context within museums. Without an intention to attribute all the developments and advances associated with new museological practice, in some deterministic way, solely to politics and economic change, I argue that the new strategies adopted by museums towards progression and broader accessibility –at least regarding interactivity, seem to be linked more with a dominant commercialization of culture and education, than with a belief towards an effect on social change through the promotion of social interaction within a pluralistic and multicultural society, acknowledging the diversity of nature, opinion and practices, which can be combined instead of contrasting each other.

El sexo y la responsabilidad en Quito: prostitución, género y estado, 1920-1950 (Estudios)

Este artículo examina las políticas y debates acerca de la prostitución en la capital del Ecuador, Quito, entre el final del auge exportador del cacao del Ecuador después de la Primera Guerra Mundial y el comienzo del auge del banano a finales de la década de 1940. Un examen de la prostitución nos permite explorar no solamente la experiencia de las mujeres urbanas con la crisis económica durante esos años, sino también algunas de las especificidades de la formación del Estado ecuatoriano. El título del artículo juega con el título del libro de Donna Guy, Sex and Danger in Buenos Aires (Sexo y Peligro en Buenos Aires), y alude al hecho de que, en Ecuador, la prostitución promovió un cuestionamiento acerca de cómo se definía el comportamiento responsable para mujeres, hombres y el Estado.

La descolonización y el giro des-colonial (Tema Central)

El tema de la descolonización está volviendo a tomar una posición de suma importancia en procesos políticos hoy. Además de proveer algunas indicaciones sobre los lugares en que tal discurso se ha vuelto relevante, este artículo también explora el significado profundo, y en particular, el epistémico y el teórico, del concepto de descolonización. En este punto se continúa la tarea ya emprendida por otros sobre la “descolonización del conocimiento” y temas relacionados. Se intentará, a partir de los conceptos de actitud y razón des-coloniales, establecer las bases para la comprensión del tema de forma amplia y con consecuencias claras para el trabajo político y teórico.

Creating teaching and learning in Europe: promoting a new paradigm

The tides of globalization and the unsteady surges and distortions in the evolution of the European Union are causing identities and cultures to be in a state of flux. Education is used by politicians as a major lever for political and social change through micro-management, but it is a crude tool. There can, however, be opportunities within educational experience for individual learners to gain strong, reflexive, multiple identities and multiple citizenship through the engagement of their creative energies. It has been argued that the twenty-first century needs a new kind of creativity characterized by unselfishness, caring and compassion—still involving monetary wealth, but resulting in a healthy planet and healthy people. Creativity and its economically derived relation, innovation, have become `buzz words' of our times. They are often misconstrued, misunderstood and plainly misused within educational conversations. The small-scale pan-European research study upon which this article is founded discovered that more emphasis needs to be placed on creative leadership, empowering teachers and learners, reducing pupils' fear of school, balancing teaching approaches, and ensuring that the curriculum and assessment are responsive to the needs of individual learners. These factors are key to building strong educational provision that harnesses the creative potential of learners, teachers and other stakeholders, values what it is to be human and creates a foundation upon which to build strong, morally based, consistent, participative democracies.

A Lady of York: migration, ethnicity and identity in Roman Britain

Modern methods of analysis applied to cemeteries have often been used in our pages to suggest generalities about mobility and diet. But these same techniques applied to a single individual, together with the grave goods and burial rite, can open a special kind of personal window on the past. Here, the authors of a multidisciplinary project use a combination of scientific techniques to illuminate Roman York, and later Roman history in general, with their image of a glamorous mixed-race woman, in touch with Africa, Christianity, Rome and Yorkshire.
