Addiction is an issue that has existed for some time but with the rise of new technologies, not only was valued the concept of dependency inherent in the pathological bond that develops between a subject and substance, new forms have emerged much more aggressive devious and dangerously addictive behaviors related to recurrence of circular and harmful to humans. The key to the problem is offered by the constant pursuit of pleasure which satisfaction and psychological well-being, hedonistic concept has always sought by humans. The transition from "normal" to "abnormal" is relative to the times, more and more short, in which the subject tends to reach a positive value, such as that of being, behaving this flattening imagination to reality and removing its true value. This article will focus precisely on the new forms of behavioral addiction, or the New Addiction. Among these will be discussed also a dependence little known in Italy but very developed in America: the Vigorexia (or addiction to sports), which can lead to the assumption of doping substances. Vigorexia doping and traveling on the same track and take pathological forms because it is closely related to the need to need welfare linked to the use of substances harmful to the body and recurrence of harmful behaviors. Will address the issue of doping in many sports fields, to hear the case Pantani. With the epilogue, we will try to propose a thesis useful in a possible liberation from these circular needs, through the implementation of an inner path directed to the use of the resources that nature offers us spontaneously: endorphins. Riassunto La dipendenza è un tema che esiste ormai da diverso tempo ma con l’aumento delle nuove tecnologie, non solo è stato valorizzato il concetto di dipendenza inerente il legame patologico che si instaura tra un soggetto e la sostanza, sono emerse nuove forme molto più aggressive e subdole di dipendenza pericolosamente connesse alla reiterazione di comportamenti circolari e deleteri per l’essere umano. La chiave di accesso alla problematica è offerta dalla costante ricerca del piacere quale soddisfazione del benessere psico-fisico, concetto edonistico da sempre ricercato dall’essere umano. Il passaggio dal “normale” al “patologico” è relativo ai tempi, sempre più brevi, in cui il soggetto tende a raggiungere un valore positivo, quale quello del benessere, comportando questo un appiattimento sull’immaginazione e togliendo alla realtà il suo vero valore. Il presente articolo vuole focalizzare l’attenzione proprio sulle nuove forme di dipendenza comportamentale, ovvero le New Addiction. Tra queste verrà discussa anche una dipendenza poco conosciuta in Italia ma molto sviluppata in America: la vigoressia (o dipendenza da sport), che può portare all’assunzione di sostanze dopanti. Vigoressia e doping viaggiano sullo stesso binario e assumono forme patologiche perché strettamente connesse al necessario bisogno di benessere legato all’uso di sostanze dannose per l’organismo e alla reiterazione di comportamenti nocivi. Verrà affrontato il problema del doping in numerosi ambiti sportivi, fino a trattare il caso Pantani. Con l’epilogo si tenterà di proporre una tesi utile a un possibile affrancamento da tali bisogni circolari, mediante la realizzazione di un percorso interiore diretto all’utilizzo delle risorse che la natura ci offre spontaneamente: le endorfine.   Resumen La adicción es un problema que existe desde hace algún tiempo, pero con el surgimiento de las nuevas tecnologías, no solo se valoró el concepto de dependencia inherente al vínculo patológico que se desarrolla entre un sujeto y una sustancia, han surgido nuevas formas mucho más agresivas, tortuosas y peligrosamente adictivas. comportamientos relacionados con la recurrencia de circulares y perjudiciales para los humanos. La clave del problema la ofrece la búsqueda constante del placer que la satisfacción y el bienestar psicológico y el concepto hedonista siempre han buscado los humanos. La transición de "normal" a "anormal" es relativa a los tiempos, cada vez más cortos, en los que el sujeto tiende a alcanzar un valor positivo, como el de ser, comportando esta imaginación aplanada a la realidad y eliminando su verdadero valor. Este artículo se centrará precisamente en las nuevas formas de adicción conductual, o la Nueva Adicción. Entre estos se discutirá también una dependencia poco conocida en Italia, pero muy desarrollada en América: la Vigorexia (o adicción al deporte), que puede conducir a la asunción de sustancias antidopaje. La vigorexia dopa y viaja por el mismo camino y toma formas patológicas porque está estrechamente relacionada con la necesidad de necesitar bienestar relacionado con el uso de sustancias nocivas para el cuerpo y la recurrencia de comportamientos nocivos. Abordará el tema del dopaje en muchos campos deportivos, para escuchar el caso Pantani. Con el epílogo intentaremos proponer una tesis útil en una posible liberación circular de estas necesidades, a través de la implementación de un viaje interno mediante el uso directo de los recursos que la naturaleza nos ofrece de forma espontánea: las endorfinas.

The Relationship

Science, technology and human values have been the subject of enquiry in the last few years for social scientists and eventually the relationship between science and gender is the subject of an ongoing debate. This is due to the event of globalization which led to the exponential growth of new technologies like assisted reproductive technology (ART). ART, one of the most iconic technological innovations of the twentieth century, has become increasingly a normal social fact of life. Since ART invades multiple human discourses—thereby transforming culture, society and politics—it is important what is sociological about ART as well as what is biological. This article argues in commendation of sociology of technology, which is alert to its democratic potential but does not concurrently conceal the historical and continuing role of technology in legitimizing gender discrimination. The article draws the empirical insights from local articulations (i.e., Odisha state in eastern India) for the understandings of motherhood, freedom and choice, reproductive right and rights over the body to which ART has contributed. Sociologically, the article has been supplemented within the broader perspectives of determinism, compatibilism alongside feminism.

La evolución del concepto de cuerpo individual/cuerpo social, específicamente desde la modernidad, la industrialización y la actual implementación de las tecnologías nos conduce hacia una visión del sujeto humano en un continuo proceso de progreso ‘egoísta’, con sus correspondientes repercusiones en la totalidad del ecosistema terrestre. Según algunos científicos es necesario plantearnos la posibilidad de unanueva época geología: el antropoceno. La idea del cuerpo autómata persiste en nuestro imaginario occidental. Es notable, además, que el cuerpo se proponga como máquina y no como forma natural, cuestión que no dejará de traer consecuencias al momento de ejercer actividades con/sobre el cuerpo y sobre su espacio vital. Las nuevas tecnologías ofrecen la posibilidad de superar los límites impuestos por nuestra herencia biológica en una especie de deseo explícito de no aceptar nuestro pasado, ni nuestro origen natural-orgánico, frente a una automejora y modificación en un sistema de progreso ad infinitum. En este sentido, una serie importante de pensadores, científicos y artistas han generado relecturas el cuerpo como algo completamente obsoleto, como una cáscara vacía que debe ser abandonada paratecnológicamente dar paso al siguiente nivel en la evolución humana: el Techno Sapiens o el Cyborg. Seaboga para que el objeto de estudio de la antropología pase del ser humano al cyborg, considerado éste como un representante más idóneo de nuestro presente y, sobre todo, de nuestro futuro. Paralelamente en la esfera del arte aparecen figuras que buscan representar esta tecnoevolución como Stelar, Marcel·lí Antúnez, o Carlos Corpa, entre otros. The evolution of the concept of the individual body / social body, specifically from modernity, industrialization and the current implementation of technologies, leads us to a vision of the human subject in a continuum of ‘egotistic’ progress as well as its corresponding repercussions in the totality of its natural environment. According to some scientific, it is necessary to consider the possibility of a new geology era:the Anthropocene. The idea of the automaton body persists in our Western imaginary. It is also remarkable that the body is proposed as a machine and not as a natural object, an issue not without consequences, when exercising activities with / on the body and on its vital space. The new technologies offer the possibility of overcoming the limits imposed by our biological inheritance in a sort of explicit desire to accept neither our past, nor our natural-organic origin, in the face of self-improvement and modification in a system of progress Ad infinitum. In this sense, an important series of thinkers, scientists and artists have produced new approaches of the body as something completely obsolete, as an empty shell that must be abandoned to technologically give way to the next level in the human evolution: the Techno Sapiens or the Cyborg. It calls for the object of study of anthropology goes from human being to cyborg, considered as a more suitable representative of our present, and above all, of our future, with all its positive and negative consequences. At the same time in the realm of art, some figures who want to represent this techno-evolution have appeared such as Stelar, Marcel·lí Antúnez, Carlos Corpa, among others.

There have been many foreign studies verifying a robust link between body image and a person's subjective well-being. However, unlike their foreign counterparts, Russian researchers have been limiting themselves to covering general questions pertaining to a relation between a person’s well-being and their body image. Thus, the coverage for the body image as a structural component of subjective well-being has been insufficient. The present study appears relevant given the need for a deeper understanding of mechanisms that maintain mental health in adolescent girls and the need for a deeper understanding of factors contributing to the formation of their subjective well-being. In the context of this paper we view the body image as a key component of a person’s well-being. The present study surveyed female students of the Philological Faculty of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN). The sample included 100 (N=100) participants aged from 18 to 22 years, with the average age being 22. We analyzed and compiled the theoretical studies on the subject of subjective well-being (SWB) and body image as well as their correlation, by both foreign and Russian researchers. We also compiled some empirical data on the subject of body image as a component of a person’s well-being. Statistical methods such as the Spearman’s rank-order correlation analysis and factor analysis were employed. The data suggested that the subjective perception of one’s body image had a great influence on various structural components of one’s personality.

Este artículo se propone rescatar la figura del flâneur para adaptarla a los nuevos espacios generados por el uso de las nuevas tecnologías, recuperando la actividad de caminar como experiencia estética, esta vez en un espacio híbrido donde cuerpo, tecnología y ciudad se combinan para obtener nuevos puntos de vista y ofrecer nuevas experiencias en el espacio, planteando un desplazamiento desde el espacio virtual al espacio físico; una mirada vertical que se va distanciando, desde la invención de la perspectiva en el Renacimiento, hasta la actualidad, donde el globo terráqueo se presenta como un espacio abarcable y visualmente transitable a través de una interfaz. Frente a la experiencia vertical y virtual que permite sobrevolar el espacio, se propone un aterrizaje para experimentar la visión horizontal, que es la mirada del flâneur, quien utiliza el cuerpo y esta vez la tecnología, para, a través del movimiento producido por el acto de caminar, establecer un contacto directo con la ciudad y sus habitantes y así re-conocer un entorno que se presenta cada vez más abstracto.Palabras-Clave: FLÂNEUR; CIUDAD; FÍSICO; DIGITAL; HÍBRIDO A virtual and visual shift to the hybrid space through the figure of flâneurAbstractThis article aims to rescue the figure of the flâneur to adapt it to the new spaces generated by the use of new technologies, recovering the activity of walking as an aesthetic practice, this time in a hybrid space where body, technology and city are combined to get new viewpoints and offer new experiences in the space, posing a displacement from the virtual to physical space; a vertical look to be moving away from the invention of perspective in the Renaissance to the present, where the globe is presented as an understandable and visually passable through an interface space. Faced with the vertical and virtual experience that allows flying over space, a landing to experience horizontal view, that is the gaze of the flâneur, who uses the body and this time the technology is proposed to, through movement produced by the act of walking, establish direct contact with the city and its inhabitants and thus recognize an environment that is increasingly abstract.Keywords: FLÂNEUR; CITY; PHYSICAL; DIGITAL; HYBRID

The Japanese Archipelago

This chapter charts the trajectory of change of Jomon period clay anthropomorphic figurines in the Japanese archipelago. The earliest specimens embodied the perception of the body and female bodily experiences rather than accurately representing the body itself. Emphasis gradually shifted from the material embodiment of unmediated bodily perception and experiences to the visual representation of the body. Through this process, the subject of the representation expanded from the female body to the bodies of various categories of being, including animals and fantastic/supernatural beings, and the figurines came to embody the mutual transformability. These beings were networked to form an ‘animistic’ cosmology whose successful reproduction was metaphorically linked to that of human life and community. The decline of the symbolic role of the female reproductive faculty as the universal referent in the prayer for communal well-being led to the end of the Jomon clay anthropomorphic figurines.

Este artículo muestra los efectos de la época y la cultura actual sobre la relación con el cuerpo, considerado como una unidad de valor en el mercado. Desde el psicoanálisis, en un recorrido por la noción de cuerpo tanto en Freud como en Lacan, se presenta una noción de cuerpo distinta a la de la medicina, diferenciando cuerpo y organismo, estableciendo que no hay El cuerpo, sino tantos cuerpos como sujetos, siendo el cuerpo concebido como una construcción a partir de la palabra y de la imagen, dando lugar al síntoma (Freud) como metáfora alojada en el cuerpo y como sinthome (Lacan) en tanto acontecimiento del cuerpo que empalma al sujeto con su modalidad de gozar, al hablante ser en su singular modalidad de satisfacción pulsional. This paper shows the effects of the times and the current culture on the relationship with the body, considered as a unit of value in the market. From the psychoanalysis point of view, on a tour of the notion of the body, with Freud, and Lacan both, the notion of body is different from the body presented by the medicine, distinguishing between body and organism. Stating that there is not A body, but many bodies as subjects, being the body, conceived as a construction from the word and the image, resulting in the symptom (Freud) and housed in the body as a metaphor and as a sinthome (Lacan) in all events of the body, that matches the subject with its way jouissance to the parletre in its singular modality of pulsional satisfaction.

“Who loves the state these days?” Frances Cairncross rhetorically asked in The Times Literary Supplement at the height of the Thatcher era. “People have become more cynical,” she went on, “about the central tenet of socialism: the concept of a wise and beneficent State, representing the best interests of the community at large.” The skepticism about the state as a provider of national well-being which Cairncross was referring to was of course not confined to Britain. Nor was it, in Britain, simply to be identified with “Thatcherism.” Rather, such disillusion developed over a period of several decades and across the political spectrum. As significant in this development as the thunderings of Thatcherites were the reconsiderations of those further left; David Marquand spoke for many when he declared his own tradition of Croslandite social democracy virtually bankrupt, flawed to the root by its statism, through which “civil society was seen, all too often, not as an agent, but as a patient.” The deep shift of opinion embodied in such observations has made its mark in a variety of realms, one of which is the subject of this essay: an alteration in the interpretation of British history, in particular of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the era in which this newly problematical state began to grow into its modern form.It has become something of a truism that historical writing is a part of the wider field of social discourse.

EspañolSe presenta un estudio de caso con una joven de 22 años (estudiante y entrenadora de baloncesto) que quería motivarse para perder peso y desarrollar hábitos saludables (buena alimentación y ejercicio físico regular). Se utilizó el modelo “La Jirafa de Cantón” como base de la intervención que consta de cuatro partes bien diferenciadas que son: la “cabeza” o meta; el “cuello” o las expectativas x valor; el “cuerpo” o la autoestima, autoeficacia y autoconcepto; y las “patas” de la base que se refieren a las cuatro vías de obtención de información (experiencia directa, experiencia indirecta, persuasión verbal y síntomas psicofisiológicos). El análisis de datos tanto cuantitativos como cualitativos se realizó mediante triangulación metodológica, midiendo en la participante las partes del modelo de la Jirafa de Cantón de manera cualitativa, y cuantitativamente el bienestar psicológico y la autoeficacia. Los resultados muestran una mejora de las variables motivacionales relacionadas con las partes del modelo, en consonancia con la mejora de las puntuaciones cuantitativas de bienestar psicológico y autoeficacia. También se observó un aumento y mantenimiento de hábitos saludables de nutrición, actividad física y pensamientos adecuados. Estos resultados están en la línea de los obtenidos en estudios anteriores similares.EnglishA case study is presented with a 22-year-old female (student and basketball coach) who wanted to motivate herself to lose weight and develop healthy habits (good nutrition and regular physical exercise). The “Cantón’s Giraffe”model was used as the basis of the intervention, which consists of four well-differentiated parts that are: the “head” or goal; the “neck” or expectations x value; the “body” or self-esteem, self-efficacy and self-concept; and the base“legs” that refer to the four ways of obtaining information (direct experience, indirect experience, verbal persuasion and psychophysiological symptoms). The analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data was carried out through methodological triangulation, measuring the parts of the Cantón’s Giraffe model qualitatively in the participant, and quantitatively for psychological well-being and self-efficacy. The results show an improvement in the motivational variables related to the parts of the model, in line with the improvement in the quantitative scores for psychological well-being and self-efficacy. There was also an increase and maintenance of healthy habits of nutrition, physical activity and proper thinking. These results are in line with those obtained in previous similar studies.

In this article, the reflections of the problem "homelessness" in the field of art will be examined through three different art works created by Andres Serrano within the framework of the subject. The artist focuses on the problem of homelessness in the state of New York, United States, in his art series titled "Nomads” (1990), "Sign of the Times (2013) and “Residents of New York” (2014). Human body is the smallest unit that forms the social structure. It’s effects of its situation between the dilemma of existence and absence in social and psychological areas, will be covered through the dialogues held with the participants that took place in the artist's project. The coding and positioning of the body within the framework of the definition and classification of homeless / homelessness will be mentioned. Besides, the process of transforming the problem into an art work in a creative way will be evaluated.

La química es una ciencia básica que incluye conceptos abstractos, fenómenos y objetos que no pueden verse a simple vista, lo que dificulta un aprendizaje significativo y homogéneo en los estudiantes, además de obstaculizar la motivación en el proceso de aprendizaje de esta ciencia. Por lo anterior, este trabajo propone como objetivo general el diseño e implementación de una aplicación móvil con tecnología de Realidad Aumentada (RA) para utilizar como apoyo en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la Química General en carreras de ingeniería de la Universidad de La Frontera, y que nos permita determinar el grado de motivación que genera en los estudiantes. La propuesta, tiene como primera etapa el diseño de la aplicación móvil con uso de RA en la temática de Equilibrio ácido-base, utilizando el motor de videojuegos multiplataforma Unity y el SDK de Vuforia, y una segunda etapa de prueba de la implementación a estudiantes de primer año de Ingeniería, donde además se aplicó una encuesta de percepción. En esta última, los estudiantes manifestaron una gran aceptación de la aplicación, además de señalar que la incorporación de nuevas tecnologías en la enseñanza de la química permite una mayor motivación e interés en la clase.   Chemistry is a basic science that includes abstract concepts, phenomena and objects that can not be seen with the naked eye. That  makes more difficult for the students to obtain a meaningful and homogeneous learning, and makes more difficult to get motivation in the Chemistry learning process. That is why the general objective of this work is the design and implementation of an application using augmented reality  in order to use the application as a complementary material in the Chemistry teaching-learning  process, in the subject General Chemistry for engineering careers in Universidad de la Frontera, and to determinate how motivated the students can be after using this application. The first phase in this process is the designing of the application using augmented reality with the subject acid-base balance, using the videogames multiplatform motor Unity and the Vuforia´s SDK. The second phase was  testing the application on first year engineer students in Universidad de la Frontera, it was also added a poll to have an opinion of them. They were satisfied with the application and declared that the use of new technologies increases the motivation for the subject.
