En un rincón de la frontera se teje insurgencia. Territorios encarnados ante la (re)patriarcalización

Delmy Tania Cruz Hernández

In the face of the imminent threats of despoilment and increase of violence on the bodies-territories-lands of rural, indigenous, and farming women and their community frameworks, six years ago an exchange of dialogue and organizational networks began between different collectives from the border and women from the Tojolabal Meseta of Chiapas (Comitán, Trinitaria and Margaritas) with the goal of building a repertoire of actions to establish dams that could put a break on the (re)patriarchalization of the social space. The objective of the article is to start with the conceptualization of the meaning of embodied territory, an analytic category that elaborates on the organizational loom of diverse women. First, I will outline the context of the border to frame the (re)patrarchalization of the territories that are spread out in this corner of the southeast, which is characterized by the existence of regional economies that constitute unequal geographies of wealth and offset dynamics of violence. Subsequently, I analyze the itineraries, routes, and strategies that organized women of the border deploy to enunciate what they are witnessing as embodied territory.

At first glance, journalists appear to form a socially homogeneous professional group. Nothing seems to distinguish them with respect to their position in the social space. Men and women from diverse social origins work in the profession, being mostly urban and with higher education, employed by different media, and who also define themselves–and their work–mainly as a vocation and passion. Much of the literature holds the same. Journalism would then be defined by individual motivations rather than social elements. However, it is also possible to verify that within this group there are very different working conditions, as well as an unequal distribution of (economic, cultural, and social) capital. This research questions how each journalist, beyond the vocational argument, defines their profession through their own social conditions of possibility. To understand the diversity of conceptions about journalism that we find empirically through the prism of position in the social space, this work is inspired by the field theory of Pierre Bourdieu. Based on 30 in-depth interviews with editors and journalists from different media in Mexico City and with different social characteristics, we argue that the volume and structure of the resources possessed by each journalist will contribute to nurturing the discourse of vocation, but with the inclusion of elements that are particular to their individual condition. We can thus explain the multiple positions in the face of differences in terms of job insecurity, journalistic values, and permanence in the professional field. Resumen A primera vista, los periodistas parecen conformar un grupo profesional socialmente homogéneo. Nada parece distinguirlos con respecto a su posición en el espacio social. En la profesión trabajan hombres y mujeres de orígenes sociales diversos, mayoritariamente urbanos y con estudios superiores, empleados por distintos medios de comunicación, y que además se definen –y definen su trabajo– principalmente por la vocación y la pasión. Una gran parte de la literatura sostiene lo mismo. El periodismo se definiría entonces por motivaciones individuales más que por elementos sociales. Sin embargo, también es posible constatar que dentro del grupo existen condiciones laborales muy distintas, así como una distribución desigual de capitales (económico, cultural y social). Esta investigación cuestiona cómo cada periodista, detrás del argumento vocacional, define la profesión a través de sus propias condiciones sociales de posibilidad. Con el fin de comprender la diversidad de concepciones sobre periodismo que encontramos empíricamente según el prisma de la posición en el espacio social, este trabajo se inspira en la teoría de campos de Pierre Bourdieu. A partir de 30 entrevistas a profundidad hechas a editores y periodistas de distintos medios en la Ciudad de México y con distintas propiedades sociales, sostenemos que el volumen y estructura de recursos poseídos por cada periodista contribuirá a nutrir el discurso de la vocación, pero insertando elementos propios a su condición individual. Es así que podemos explicar las múltiples posturas frente a las diferencias en lo que compete a la precarización laboral, los valores periodísticos y la permanencia en el campo profesional.

In this paper I attempt a hermeneutics of agoraphobic experience, presenting a reading of sufferers' accounts of the social and spatial phenomenology of this disorder in terms of managing existential anxieties. I seek to combine the philosophical insights of Sartre's account of ‘anguish’ with Goffman's sociotheoretical account of the individual's employment of techniques of ‘front management’ and ‘self-presentation’. Such techniques might, I argue, be regarded as a form of coping mechanism for dealing with the anxieties of social existence, especially those stemming from what Sartre terms the ‘look’ of Others. Agoraphobics' testimonies illustrate their difficulties in successfully deploying such techniques in the face of the anxieties they experience in social spaces. Interpreting agoraphobic experiences in this way adds a sociospatial theoretical dimension to existing accounts of the disorder, accounts that are currently of a predominantly psychological nature.

Literasi ekologi sosial Islam adalah interaksi manusia dengan lingkungan alam, teknologi, dan sosial yang didasarkan pada prinsip dasar Islam. Rekonstruksi literasi ekologi sosial Islam yang bisa direkonstruksi adalah prinsip dasar Islam yang menegaskan posisi manusia sebagai “pemimpin” yang diberi “amanah” untuk mengelola “bumi” atau “lingkungan alam dan sumber daya alam” sebaik-baiknya. Rekonstruksi literasi ekologis inilah yang kemudian akan diaktualisasikan pada masyarakat. Proses aktualisasi adalah kegiatan aktual dalam menanamkan kesadaran ekologi sosial Islam pada masyarakat yang mana dilakukan dalam ruang sosial keluarga, masyarakat, dan sekolah yang diorganisasi oleh negara melalui kebijakan dan peraturan per undang-undangan. Dengan proses rekonstruksi dan aktualisasi yang terstruktur ini, maka negara akan aktif membangun kesadaran ekologis sosial Islam dengan aktif dan terstruktur dengan baik guna mewujudkan basis kesadaran, ilmu pengetahuan, dan tata nilai ekologi sosial Islam pada masyarakat. Literacy on Islamic social ecology is the human interaction with the natural environment, technology, and social which is based on the basic principles of Islam. Reconstruction of literacy on Islamic social ecology that can be reconstructed is a basic tenet of Islam that affirms the human position as a "leader" by "mandate" to manage "Earth" or "natural environment and natural resources" as well as possible. Reconstruction of ecological literacy is then to be actualized in society. The process of actualization is actual activity in instilling awareness of the social ecology of Islam in the society which is done in the social space of families, communities, and schools organized by the state through policies and regulations. With the process of reconstruction and actualization, then the state will actively build social-ecological awareness of Islam in order to realize a base of awareness, knowledge, and values of Islamic social ecology in society.

On the basis of the archetypic analysis of development trends of a conflictological paradigm the author’s model of minimization of conflict potential in modern society is offered. Institutional construction is the basis for model that is harmonized with a factor of societal identity.It is noted that the problems of social conflicts, according to data from monitor- ing studies of the Ukrainian school of archetype, are increasingly shifted into the sphere of interpersonal relations. It is stimulated by the progression in society of so-called self-sufficient personalities, the “subjectification” of the social space, and at the same time narrowing down to the solution of entirely specific situations in which there is a collision of the interests of two or more parties.Instead, in order to find the optimal solution for resolving the conflict, it is necessary to have interdisciplinary knowledge, in particular understanding of the deep nature of such conflicts. Collision of points of view, thoughts, positions — a very frequent phenomenon of modern social life. In order to develop the correct line of behavior in various conflict situations, it is important to adequately under- stand the nature of the emergence of the modern conflict and the mechanisms for resolving them in substance. Knowledge of conflict nature enriches the culture of communication and makes human life and social groups not only more calm, but also creates conditions for constructive development. It is proved that in modern life one can not but agree with the statement that an individual carries first re- sponsibility for his own life and only then for the life of the social groups to which he belongs. And while making decisions within the framework of modern mecha- nisms (consensus), the properties of human psychology such as extroversion, emo- tionality, irrationality, intuition, externality, and executive ability will not at least contribute to such a task.That is why in the author’s research attracted attention to the archetypal na- ture of the conflict — the primitive images, ideas, feelings inherent in man as a bearer of the collective unconscious.

Based on analyses of a 2016 German survey, this article contributes to debates on ‘societal nature relations’ by investigating the systematic differences between socially specific types of social relations with nature in a flexible capitalist society. It presents a typology of ten different ‘syndromes’ of attitudes toward social and environmental issues, which are then grouped to distinguish between four ideal types of social relationships with nature: dominance, conscious mutual dependency, alienation and contradiction. These are located in Pierre Bourdieu’s (1984) social space to illustrate how social relationships with nature correspond to people’s positions within the totality of social relations. Understanding how people’s perceptions of and actions pertaining to nature are shaped by their positions in these intersecting relations of domination – both within social space and between society and nature – is an important precondition for developing transformative strategies that will be capable of gaining majority support in flexible capitalist societies.

Post-operative alveolitis is a topical issue in dental practice, which is also reflected by the etiopathogenic aspects. The conservative principle requires the maintenance of dento-periodontal units in the arch for as long as possible, but there are situations where dental extraction is required. The healing process of the post-surgical wound is complex and involves processes of gingival mucosal regeneration and bone reshaping, involving several local factors: wound size, presence of infection, alveolar vascularization, intraalveolar foreign bodies, and general factors, especially general condition, age and body reactivity. The quality, structure, maintenance, and retraction of the clot are key factors in the formation of connective tissue during the healing of the post-extraction would. At the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic of Gala�i, during a 2-year period between January 2015 and December 30, 2016, 2780 patients that required surgery - dental extraction were consulted and diagnosed. We found that among those 2780 patients with dental extractions 105 (3.77%) had post-treatment alveolitis. No post-surgical alveolitis from the case study was complicated by osteomyelitis of the jaws or by suppurations of the superficial or deep compartments of the face. The prophylactic measures in each dental extraction, together with the correct and timely curative treatment, combined with the dentist�s competence and responsibility, can shorten the time of suffering, actively combating the risk factor and accelerating the social reintegration of the patient with post-treatment alveolitis.

The purpose of this book is to tell the story of Israel’s nearest neighbors—not only discovering what the Bible has to say about them but also what we can know from archaeology, ancient inscriptions, and other sources. The Bible itself presents these neighbors in nuanced and conflicting ways; sometimes they are friends or even related to Israel at a family level, and sometimes they are enemies, spoken of as though they must die in order for Israel to live. We are left wondering how the biblical portrayal might have affected our thinking about these people as historical groups, on their own terms. How would an Aramaean have described her own religion? How would an Edomite have described conflict with Israel? This book explores both the biblical portrayal of the smaller groups surrounding Israel and what people can know about these groups through their own literature, archaeology, and other sources. By uncovering the identity of the Philistines as settlers along the coast at the same time that early Israel carved out their place in the land, for example, one can better understand the social turmoil and political maneuvering that lies just beneath the surface of the biblical narrative, and can see more clearly just how the authors of the Bible saw themselves in the face of others.

Ralph Ellison, Temporal Technologist examines Ralph Ellison’s body of work as an extended and ever-evolving expression of the author’s philosophy of temporality—a philosophy synthesized from the writings of Henri Bergson and Friedrich Nietzsche that anticipates the work of Gilles Deleuze. Taking the view that time is a multiplicity of dynamic processes, rather than a static container for the events of our lives, and an integral force of becoming, rather than a linear groove in which events take place, Ellison articulates a theory of temporality and social change throughout his corpus that flies in the face of all forms of linear causality and historical determinism. Integral to this theory is Ellison’s observation that the social, cultural, and legal processes constitutive of racial formation are embedded in static temporalities reiterated by historians and sociologists. In other words, Ellison’s critique of US racial history is, at bottom, a matter of time. This book reveals how, in his fiction, criticism, and photography, Ellison reclaims technologies through which static time and linear history are formalized in order to reveal intensities implicit in the present that, if actualized, could help us achieve Nietzsche’s goal of acting un-historically. The result is a wholesale reinterpretation of Ellison’s oeuvre, as well as an extension of Ellison’s ideas about the dynamism of becoming and the open-endedness of the future. It, like Ellison’s texts, affirms the chaos of possibility lurking beneath the patterns of living we mistake for enduring certainties.
