  • Los hilos de la vida: metodologías antropológicas y etnografías contemporáneas de los nortes de México

    Neyra Alvarado Solís (Centre de Recherches sur les Mondes Américains, 2021-12-01)
    In this contribution I am interested in reflecting on the different approaches implemented in anthropological research carried out personally with populations of northern Mexico. Under the notion and the metaphor of the threads of life, I approach from a heuristic point of view, the themes and results of research, the populations and their multiple geographies, in the light of anthropology and the conception of these geographies, themes and populations. I expose the problems and solutions faced in each of the investigations, revealing methodological, epistemological and fieldwork processes, based on local notions that evoke the threads of life.
  • Construire et inventer le patrimoine zápara. Acteurs, intérêts, conflits en Amazonie équatorienne

    Anne-Gaël Bilhaut (Centre de Recherches sur les Mondes Américains, 2017-02-01)
    Fifteen years after the proclamation of their oral manifestations as “Masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity” the Zapara people continues to make its culture recognized as a heritage, in two other ways: from the university, where a new Zápara generation is acting, as well as from governmental administration, which tries with some difficulty to insert heritage in participatory processes. We will present an ethnography of each of these ways to make Zápara culture a heritage. This process relies on diverging, personal, collective, institutional interests,which all converge on the need of a safeguarding plan of the culture, constantly reinvented by the Zápara. We will also consider the role and place of the researcher when involved in collaborations with the communities, and on the ethical and political implications of these collaborations, in particular in conflict situations.
  • Care and carelessness in rural Bolivia. Silence and emotion in Quechua childbirth testimonies

    Tristan Platt (Institut Français d'Études Andines, 2013-11-01)
    This article moves beyond ideal expressions of duality and embodiment to examine three couples through their narratives of the birth of their children. Close analysis of three Quechua interview texts yields three types of relationship in which the obstetric care and carelessness of husbands are manifest in different ways. The ritual practice of yanantin is confronted with birthing women’s actual experiences of husbands’ thoughtlessness, self-importance and error. The materials are analyzed as dramatic performances and as case studies that illustrate the emotions and moral demands behind the shared practice of childbirth.
  • Comment peut-on être indigène ? La fabrication d’une identité politique en Amazonie péruvienne

    Thomas Mouriès (Institut Français d'Études Andines, 2016-03-01)
    This article explores a founding moment in indigenous politics in the Peruvian Amazon: the encounter between a leader and an assembly —that is, between a representative and those he is representing. It analyzes the case of a local federation’s assembly. The assembly is where the main indigenous political institutions —the native communities and the federations— connect with each other. The assembly, a transitional and temporary space, is the place from which most indigenous leaders emerge, and it’ is also where one can observe how indigenous identities are politically produced. However, this construction of identity is not unequivocal or essentialistic, but rather it is a constant debate between different —and sometimes dissentient— interpretations of what being indigenous means. By examining the confrontation between a Quechua leader from the Pastaza River and his constituency, this article shows how identities and politics are created. Politics enables a reinterpretation of the traditional view of ethnicity by placing certain criteria within the context of an ethos that is distinctive to the indigenous leader.
  • La ética del funcionario público y su incidencia en el desempeño laboral de una municipalidad distrital de Iquitos, 2022

  • Sanción administrativa disciplinaria

    Perú. Ministerio de Educación; Villegas Abrill, Juan Luis; Coronado Vargas, Yudy Zoraida (Ministerio de Educación, 2017-01-26)
    El fascículo se profundizará en las acciones que deben contemplarse en el componente referido a la sanción administrativa disciplinaria, detallando los objetivos, estrategias, acciones, seguimiento y evaluación de las mismas. Además, el fascículo se centra en las acciones necesarias para que los integrantes y asesores legales de las Comisiones de Procesos Administrativos Disciplinarios resuelvan los casos con cabal conocimiento de la normativa aplicable, respetando el debido proceso. Es necesario también que las citadas comisiones se encuentren debidamente conformadas y organizadas para asegurar su correcto funcionamiento. Ello se debe llevar a cabo a través del cumplimiento de normativa interna como, por ejemplo, de un reglamento que oriente su actuación y de un Sistema de Monitoreo de Expedientes (SIMEX) que optimice la tramitación de los mismos.
  • De la révolution à la mondialisation

    Yvon Le Bot (Les Éditions de la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, 2013-12-01)
    The large-scale recent mobilizations throughout the world (2011 and after) are a striking illustration of a profound change in the forms and content of collective actions. There is a move from the ‘classical’ actors (States, nations, parties, trade unions, armed struggles and other movements directed and controlled by men) to more horizontal and less structured actors who resort to social networks on a large scale, combining the occupation of territories and symbolic locations with the creation of virtual and global spaces, in which women play a large role and which have a strong ethical component. The analyses offered of Latin America – in particular those of the new national-popular regimes sometimes described as ‘21st century revolutions’ – still frequently tend to be restricted to the first of these figures. However, over the past decades the region has witnessed a decline in armed struggles and revolutionary ruptures, dictatorships and authoritarian States while, at the same time, it has been projecting itself into the globalized flows. Latin America has often pioneered the emergence of networks in the age of information and communication: the Zapatista and other Indian movements, Porto Alegre and the alterglobal movement and the large-scale mobilizations of Latino migrants in the United States (2006). The recent demonstrations in Brazil which resonate which those which took place in Turkey, Spain, the United States and elsewhere all confirm this change of paradigm in Latin America.

    In response to inequality in access to genomics research, efforts are underway to include underrepresented minorities, but explicit (and enforcing) guidelines are mostly targeted toward the Global North. In this work, we elaborate on the need to return scientific results to indigenous communities, reporting the actions we have taken in a recent genomic study with Mapuche communities in Chile. Our approach acknowledged the social dynamics perpetuating colonial hierarchies. We framed genetic results to empower indigenous knowledge and communities’ history and identities. A fundamental step in our strategy has been sharing the results with the communities before publishing the scientific paper, which allowed us to incorporate community perspectives. We faced the challenge of translating genetic concepts like admixture, emphasizing the distinction between identity and biology. To reach a broad and diverse audience, we disseminated the study results to single community members, cultural representatives, and high schools, highlighting the importance of the history of the region before the European contact. To facilitate results dissemination, we prepared didactic material and a report in Spanish written in non-specialized language, targeting a wider Latin American readership. This work illustrates the benefits of discussing scientific findings with indigenous communities, demonstrating that a collaborative and culturally sensitive approach fosters knowledge sharing and community empowerment and challenges power dynamics in genetic research. Bridging the gap between academia and indigenous communities promotes equity and inclusion in scientific endeavors.

  • Features of the legal and military dimension of US foreign policy

    Dmytro Lakishyk (Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, 2021-04-01)
    The role of the United States in the security system of the global international space is difficult to overestimate. At the same time, the question of the degree to which America’s national security strategies are consistent with the requirements of international security is increasingly being questioned. On the one hand, the shift in emphasis to humanitarian values has made it more logical to use modern force to address issues such as the spread of WMD or genocide. On the other hand, the practice of American action in the Middle East and Central Asia has demonstrated the limits of power policy through the use of high technology in the use of traditional structures and strategies. The aim of the article is to analyze the transformational aspect of US security and defense policy, the impact of which becomes more significant than technological innovation.
 
 The study, based on the methods of political analysis, identified the main characteristics of American world leadership, which includes military power, economic competitiveness, moral authority, active participation in international political processes on a global scale and efforts to streamline the international system.
 
 Conclusions. Responding to change must begin with an analysis of the social foundations of threats and, above all, the role of the social factor in modern wars. In case of unsuccessful application, technological power not only does not solve the problem, but also strengthens its social roots. Such a scenario creates a very dangerous situation for the United States, where counteraction can be crystallized or cover conflict sectors that are unusual for Americans. It is important to keep in mind that today’s security threats extend to specific citizens and communities more than to the state as a whole. That is why the world community’s acceptance of the American vision of international development in areas such as human rights and development is so important to America. While security is based on military capabilities in today’s world, its new forms and configurations require the embodiment of types of forceful intervention that are not always consistent with classical doctrines and strategic approaches.
  • O conceito de liberdade de imprensa ou de liberdade de comunicação pública na Filosofia do Direito de G.W.F. Hegel

    Pertille, José Pinheiro; Konzen, Paulo Roberto (2023-08-19)
    In der Promotionsarbeit, in Verbindung mit den Begriffen der Öffentlichkeit, der Bildung und der Verschiedenheit, wird der Hegelsche Begriff der Pressefreiheit oder der Freiheit der öffentlichen Mitteilung untersucht, um die Darstellung und die kritische Analyse seiner Definition und Wichtigkeit. Es geht eine spezifische Arbeit über den Hegelschen Begriff der Pressefreiheit, indem eine Bewertung und eine kritische Synthese der schon veröffentlichten hauptsächlichen und unterschiedlichen Überlegungen entwickelt wird. Außerdem verteidigt diese Untersuchung neue Interpretationen und präsentiert neue Argumente zur Unterstützung oder Widerlegung von Behauptungen über den Begriff der Pressefreiheit. Die Relevanz der Forschung basiert sich auf der Tatsache, dass das Begriff der Pressefreiheit ist konstitutiv und wesentlich zum Begreifung der Philosophie des Objektiven Geistes oder der Philosophie des Rechts von Hegel, was jedoch noch nicht Gegenstand einer geeigneten akademischen Forschung gewesen war. Darüber hinaus ist die Pressefreiheit ein aktuelles Thema ständiger Diskussion oder Konfrontation, denn es handelt sich um ein grundlegendes Element, zum Beispiel im Prozess der Konstitution und Information oder Bildung der öffentlichen Meinung, und auch noch in dem Suchen nach der größtmöglichen Aufhebung oder Vermittlung der vielen Unterschiede in der öffentlichen Sphäre, hauptsächlich der Bildung. Die historische, kritisch-philologische und hermeneutische Darstellung und Analyse des Hegelschen Begriffs der Pressefreiheit zeigt, dass, obwohl er im Laufe der Zeit unter möglichst vielen verschiedlichen Weisen untersucht wurde, seine adäquate Interpretation heute möglich ist.
  • Letramento crítico no livro didático de inglês nos anos finais do ensino fundamental: temas transversais ética e pluralidade cultural

    Silva, Silvio Ribeiro da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2345103994889195; Oliveira, Camila Alberto Vicente de; Souza, Rita Rodrigues de; Lima, Roniel Paniago (Universidade Federal de GoiásBrasilRegional Jataí (RJ)UFGPrograma de Pós-graduação em Educação (RJ), 2020-03-03)
    This research aims to analyse how texts and exercises based on cross cultural edge ‘Ethic’ and ‘Cultural Plurality’ works contributing to critical litteracy of student, in a English textbook collection (Elementary school, to 6º up 9º grade), evaluated and approved by Textbook National Program (PNLD) 2017-2019. To reach the objectives, I developed an investigation qualitative-interpretative, by Content Analysis Method by Laurence Bardin, and Indiciary Paradigm by Carlo Ginzburg. I used studies from Choppin (2004), Crocetti (2012), Dias e Cristovão (2009), Lajolo (1996), Luckesi (1994), Munakata (2013), Oliveira e Paiva (1996), Soares (2014), Bakhtin (1997, 2006), Street (1984, 1994, 2009, 2017). Based on these authors, the collection investigated was Time to Share, de Gisele Aga e Vicente Martinez, Published by Saraiva Educação, 1ª edition – 2015. To obtain and analyse datas, I proposed the following specifics objectives: 1) Examining how genres of discourse works can allow the criticy litteray, in Cross Cultural Edge ‘Ethic’ and ‘Cultural Plurality’; 2) Identifying how texts and exercises allowing to the student thinks about responsabilities and law to be an proative citizen; 3) Identifying how the collection shows the diversity, aiming to fight against estereotypes ways in society. The datas showed a law number of quantitative terms of texts and exercises using critical litteracy, according established categories. In spite of this, it is possible the datas analysed were well explored in qualitative way, I think it would be good if the collection has showed more texts and exercises based on critical litteracy.
  • Impacto de la calidad en el control de la corrupción

    Chahin, Tomás (Universidad Nacional del Comahue. Facultad de Economía y Administración, 2022-12)
    El aumento de los índices de corrupción ha ido en aumento en los últimos años, al igual que los esfuerzos y acciones para su control. Los resultados negativos obtenidos en general nos llevan a analizar las causas de estos desvíos.El objetivo del presente trabajo es el análisis de dichas causas, así como también que el lector disponga de alternativas para transformar los resultados del control de la corrupción en positivos. Para ello se presentan las conclusiones del análisis realizadosobre trabajos que hablan sobre la corrupción y su control, además de la consideración de los requisitos exigidos para la implementación de un sistema de gestión basado en la calidad.Como resultado de este trabajo podemos observar que los sistemas de gestión de la calidad resultan una herramienta valiosa para el control de la corrupción, en la medida que exista voluntad y compromiso especialmente de la alta dirección, para su aplicación.Pero el principal resultado de este trabajo tiene que ver con la toma de conciencia sobre la conveniencia de una gestión transparente, que se base en la ética de los negocios y que se enfoque en el desarrollo sostenible conteniendo a las partes interesadas.

  • O ser justo de Paul Ricoeur e a excelência na formação humana

    Coêlho, Ildeu Moreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4116924347437078; Faria, Gina Glaydes Guimarães de; Almeida, Fábio Ferreira de; Ferreira, Adegmar José Ferreira; Ferreira, Evandson Paiva; Ribeiro, Andrey Borges Pimentel (Universidade Federal de GoiásBrasilFaculdade de Educação - FE (RG)UFGPrograma de Pós-graduação em Educação (FE), 2022-05-10)
    This thesis is part of the Research Line Fundaments of Educational Processes of the Graduate Course Program in Education of Federal University of Goiás, proposing to investigate the Righteous Human Being of Paul Ricoeur and the excellent human formation, assumed in the sense of true education, paideía. Therefore, the first chapter seeks to understand its hermeneutic phenomenology in the wake of the heideggerian project that puts the being under discussion, problematizing the identity, characterized as sameness (identity, idem) and ipseity (identity, ipse), in a perspective that seeks to reveal the who of the action. This motivates an ethical study, object of the second chapter of this thesis. Then, in the second chapter, an attempt is made to define Paul Ricoeur's Righteous Human Being based on his “little ethics” developed at the end of The Self as Other, 1990. Righteous Human Being is conceived as being good, legal and equitable, but it still persists in the philosopher's concept of the fragile and capable man. At the same time, Righteous Human Being maintains the author's philosophical coherence from the notion of fallible man. Thus, the Righteous Human Being is a fragile and capable man, an open concept of human beings. The third chapter of the thesis makes this reflection on the Righteous Human Being announced by Paul Ricoeur in Kant and in the aristotelian tradition, in an attempt to contribute to the question of excellent human formation, paideía. Kant's moral theory is interpreted in terms of its telos, the principle of humanity that puts man as an end in himself. In carrying out this teleological interpretation of kantian morality, the Righteous Human Being is best understood in the Aristotelian tradition. Thus, Righteous Human Being is investigated in Aristotle, Cicero and Thomas Aquinas, in view of the philosophical anthropology that discusses the human being in the light of the socratic adage and its fundamental question about what justice is. Paideía or humanĭtas is true education, excellent human formation, ethics in its demand for justice that elevates the human to the condition of Righteous Human Being, not as a ready-made, definitive concept, but the human in its unfinished business, in its becoming, disproportionate, an autonomous and vulnerable subject in the fragile and capable man of Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic phenomenology. Ricoeur's philosophy and its hermeneutic phenomenology maintain the platonic discussion about the justice and truth of the human; their knowledge confirms the importance of education for ethics, politics, the realization of democracy.
  • Efetividade da comunicação em dilemas éticos: uma análise a partir do uso de linguagem moral ou econômica

    Bortoluzzo, Adriana Bruscato; Holz, Edvalter Becker; Ferreira, Luciana; Iwai, Tatiana; Costa, Vanessa Alves Da (2021-09-13)
    As empresas estão destinando grandes quantias de recursos em ética e compliance, visto que desvios de conduta deterioram os negócios. Os altos custos envolvidos forçam as organizações a encaminhar mais esforços para o tema. O problema, porém, é que diversos outros assuntos estão simultaneamente disputando atenção e recursos organizacionais nas empresas. A comunicação assertiva pode contribuir para a discussão ao abordar os esforços e as táticas usadas pelos colaboradores para atrair atenção organizacional para determinada ideia ou questão de interesse. Avalia-se nesse trabalho em pesquisa quantitativa, realizada por meio de questionário on-line, a efetividade da comunicação em dilemas éticos para determinados tipos de linguagem - moral ou econômica. Além disso, avalia-se a identidade moral do receptor como moderador. Os resultados confirmam a efetividade das linguagens, ainda que essa influência seja negativa para linguagem econômica. São discutidas também a implicações para as teorias que abordam táticas de influência e ética, e contribuições para a prática organizacional.
  • Experiência e mudança: exercícios para fazer sociologia de outra maneira

    Lima, Ricardo Barbosa de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3943209743451118; Amaral, Marcela Corrêa Martins; Nunes, Jordão Horta; Ferraz, Joana D´Arc Fernandes; Avelino, Givanildo Oliveira; Santos, Liza Franco Busse Reis dos (Universidade Federal de GoiásBrasilFaculdade de Ciências Sociais - FCS (RG)UFGPrograma de Pós-graduação em Sociologia (FCS), 2022-05-26)
    This research is driven by the question "How to do sociology in a different way?" and inspired 
 by the inseparability between research and life. This inseparability is affirmed by experience 
 with which the researcher becomes a craftsman of himself and the research a handmade and 
 procedural construction, as conceiveid by the methodology of Intellectual Craftsmanship 
 formulated by Charles Wright Mills. The affirmation of life in research calls for an ethical look 
 at sociological work and, in these terms, the essay, this language of experience that invites to 
 a self-drive, as treated by the philosopher of education Jorge Larrosa, is present in these 
 pages, as well as the ethics of self-care, studied by Michel Foucault. The thesis is composed of 
 essayistic exercises in which these components are mobilized, and, in these terms, they are 
 attempts at change, experimentations, that problematize the method in the condition of a 
 controlled way for research and producer of the researcher's movement. There is something 
 of freedom in thinking outside the given way, and, in this sense, this research visits Friedrich 
 Nietzsche's Extemporaneous Considerations and places the themes of craftsmanship and the 
 essay in relation to the becoming, treated by Gilles Deleuze. The essay is, here, a platform for 
 the researcher's subjectivation and a shadow of disciplinary sociology cast over the writing in 
 which the researcher was forged, notably in the process of formal education for sociological 
 research. To go to the shadows is to escape the conventional way of research and for this the 
 thesis calls upon the sociologist Gabriel Tarde, a contemporary of Émile Durkheim and an 
 opponent of his sociology, and reflections on the essay. The alliance with shadows matters 
 insofar as what is at issue is to change, to move out of what is going on, out of this which is 
 given (and assured) to the researcher and to the research. This movement of change 
 involves, above all, attention to experience, always singular, and to affirm it is also to multiply 
 ways of thinking and doing research.
  • A perspectiva analítico-comportamental sobre a homossexualidade: análise da produção acadêmica brasileira e reflexões ético-políticas

    Toassa, Gisele; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3606800477592959; Laurenti, Carolina; Coelho, Cristiano; Rodrigues, Anderson de Brito; Barreto, Wanderson (Universidade Federal de GoiásBrasilFaculdade de Educação - FE (RG)UFGPrograma de Pós-graduação em Psicologia (FE), 2020-10-21)
    This work sought to understand the theme of homosexuality from the perspective of Behavior Analysis (BA), thus presenting reflections on their positions and productions in relation to homosexuality. Therefore, the topic was discussed from ethical and political implications present in the BA and finally, we present the scenario of the Brazilian academic production in order to raise more ethical and policies reflections for the field. So far, we have identified that the set of knowledge and practices of BA has already been used without reflection and criticism in treatments for reversing homosexuality. Such treatments assumed that homosexuality was a deviant and pathological conduct that could be modified by aversive behavioral techniques. Thus, we seek to identify how the BA in Brazil dealt with this issue through its academic productions from 1999 to 2019, a period in which Brazilian Psychology, through Resolution CFP 001/1999, materialized its favorable view of the struggles for diversity thus determining that homosexuality should not be treated as a pathology. This research has theoretical and bibliographic because in it a historical and contextual questioning, as well as a study and categorization of texts in order to explore what others authors have already said about homosexuality. The selected texts were analyzed from the following categories: 1) Definition and explanation of homosexuality; 2) Definition and explanation of prejudice against homosexuals; 3) Dialogue with other authors and areas; and 4) Ethical and political considerations. In general, it is argued that homosexuality is not the problem to be faced, but coercive culture against homosexuals.
  • La repregunta por el arte : reflexiones desde la estética y la comunicación

    Rolleri, María Soledad (Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, 2011)
    Actualmente, la comunicación puede considerarse terreno de cruce de muchas de las preguntas
 por el arte. En el marco de una creciente hipermediatización que redefine circuitos artísticos a
 través del consumo, de la posibilidad de la apropiación tecnológica de la obra por parte de los
 sujetos, y de nuevas modalidades de producción de las mismas como parte de una configuración
 cultural transformada respecto de los criterios modernistas, la pregunta por el arte adquiere nuevos
 matices.
 Por lo tanto, resulta imprescindible poner el foco en una obra desmaterializada para empezar a
 pensarla como construcción menos presa del objeto y más atenta al recorrido y a la reinterpretación
 que de ella hacen los sujetos a través de las nuevas tecnologías de la comunicación. Compartiendo
 el objeto de estudio con el campo de la comunicación pero con una mirada más específica la
 Estética,
 Marta Zatonyi señala algunos de los puntos de contacto cuando establece que “la
 interacción entre el sentir, el percibir y el saber del sujeto, permite abrir mundos, profundizar la
 relación con el arte ya conocido, mirar hacia el arte del otro, reconocerlo e interpretarlo, intentar
 entender el universo simbólico de la creación artística, valorarlo y gozar de él”. Sus palabras dejan
 –una vez más, y afortunadamente abierto
 el interrogante. Párrafo extraído de la entrevista a modo de resumen
