Negociación colectiva y lucha de clases : Convenio laboral para fileterxs (1969-1970)

En este artículo analizamos una arista del mundo obrero aún poco explorada: la negociación colectiva, entendiéndola como uno de los múltiples rizomas de la lucha de clases. Para reflexionar sobre esta faz de la conflictividad obrera, abordamos la experiencia de negociación colectiva impulsada por lxs fileterxs durante 1969-1970. Al menos dos son las razones que nos motivan a realizar este abordaje. En primer lugar, el convenio de aquel período nos brinda un punto de vista privilegiado para acercarnos a los momentos genéticos de la formación de una nueva fracción de obrerxs del pescado, grupo que encontró su clímax en el proceso de negociación colectiva del año 1975, así como en el proceso huelguístico que la negociación concitó. Desde aquel momento, la identidad de lxs obrerxs del pescado se mimetizó con la de lxs fileterxs. En segundo lugar, un análisis detallado del convenio nos habilita la reconstrucción de las correlaciones de fuerza entre el Sindicato y la Cámara del sector en sus distintas dimensiones: proceso de trabajo, recursos organizacionales, horizonte político

The Collective Protagonist: Multiple Points of View and the Search for Truth in Familial Narratives

Response to Orr and Siegler - collective intentionality and procreative desires: the permissible view on consent to posthumous conception

Orr and Siegler have recently defended a restrictive view concerning posthumous sperm retrieval and conception, which would limit insemination to those cases where the deceased man has provided explicit consent for such a procedure. The restrictive view dominates current law and practice. A permissible view, in contrast, would allow insemination and conception in all but those cases where the posthumous procedure has been explicitly refused, or where there is no reasonable evidence that the deceased person desired children. I describe a phenomenology of procreative desires which supports the permissible view, and which is compatible with requirements concerning the interests of the decedent, concepts of medical infertility, and the welfare of the future child. The account illustrates how our current obsession with individual rights and autonomy can be self-defeating and repressive.

Reasons for cannabis use in men with and without psychosis

Psychoses are relatively low prevalence disorders that have a disproportionately negative impact on individuals and society. Cannabis use is one factor that can exacerbate the negative consequences associated with psychotic disorders. Relatively few studies have examined the effects or reasons for using cannabis self-reported by individuals with psychosis. The present study is the first known to compare directly such factors in individuals with and without psychosis, within a single study. At baseline and follow-up participants with psychosis most commonly reported using cannabis for positive mood alteration (36% and 42%), coping with negative affect (27% and 29%) and for social activity reasons (38% and 29%). The control group most commonly reported using cannabis for relaxation (34% and 43%) and social activity reasons (49% and 51%). Participants with psychosis were less likely to report relaxation as the most important effect after use ( 27%) or expect it at follow-up ( 49%) compared to the control group (53% and 70%). In both groups, addiction and positive affect enhancement were the composite variable scores correlated most consistently with concurrent amount and frequency of use.

Community perceptions of adequate levels and reasons for skin protection

In this study the authors addressed whether or not community members use relevant risk factors to determine an appropriate level of skin protection behavior in the prevention of skin cancer. The authors conducted a postal survey with a community sample of 3,600 Queensland residents that they randomly selected from the Commonwealth electoral roll. The predictors of perceptions of doing enough skin protection included intrapersonal, social, and attitudinal influences. People protected themselves from the sun primarily out of a desire for future good health and on other occasions did not protect themselves from the sun because they were not out there long enough to get burnt. The predictors of perceptions of doing enough skin protection indicated that participants were aware of relevant risk factors. The main reasons that people protect themselves from the sun suggest that they are acting on many health promotion messages. However, skin cancer prevention programs need to move beyond increasing awareness and knowledge of the disease to providing a supportive environment and enhancing individual skills. Health promotion campaigns could reinforce appropriate risk assessment and shape an individual's decision about how much sun protection is needed.
