Familiares de personas desaparecidas forzadamente en Colombia: un aporte etnográfico al estudio crítico de la justicia transicional

Según cifras oficiales en la actualidad existen más de cien mil casos de personas desaparecidas forzadamente en Colombia. Los familiares de víctimas de desaparición forzada constituyen uno de los mayores colectivos de víctimas a consecuencia del conflicto armado, protagonistas de una larga historia de lucha y reivindicación desde los años 80 del siglo XX. En la última década la lucha de los familiares y sus organizaciones ha confrontado un sistema políticojurídico ordinario y transicional. En un contexto de proceso de paz incipiente, los mecanismos sociales, políticos y jurídicos transicionales desarrollados deberán responder por el reconocimiento y la restitución delos derechos de las familias de las personas desaparecidas.Esta investigación analiza la experiencia de las familias/víctimas de desaparición forzada en los procesos de búsqueda por sus familiares, así como sus representaciones de reparación, sobre la base de una etnografía con organizaciones de familiares de víctimas de desaparición forzada en Colombia entre 2010 y 2013. Para ello se centra en los procesos de búsqueda y la práctica política de las organizaciones como contextos etnográficos en los que aprehender empíricamente las relaciones de poder subyacentes a los modelos transicionales. El objetivo general ha sido dar cuenta de las dinámicas generales del proceso de búsqueda como proceso de sufrimiento social y padecimiento subjetivo, en el que los familiares de personas desaparecidas confrontan violencias y fricciones amplias, para conocer y explicar las representaciones de los familiares de personas desaparecidas respecto de los conceptos normativos de reparación, en términos de los contenidos simbólicos y semánticos relevantes desde el análisis de un proceso de vernacularización de derechos, prestando especial interés a las prácticas autónomas de reparación..

The role of institutional, family and peer-based discourses and practices in the construction of students' socio-academic trajectories

The Version of Record of this manuscript has been published and is available in Ethnography and Education 2012 http://www.tandfonline.com/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17457823.2012.661587In this article, we discuss findings from multi-level ethnography conducted in a secondary school located in Madrid (Spain). The study focuses on the variety of institutional, family and peer-based factors that contribute to the construction of students' socio-academic trajectories. In particular, we attempt to understand the role these social fields play in the construction of educational careers that are comparatively less successful in the case of immigrant students. Our findings suggest that these "objective outcomes" are immersed in a web of discourses, practices and representations held by educators, parents and students about the future, the role of schooling in adolescents socio-educational paths and the interconnections between each social field (school, parents and peers) that show significant contradictions and discontinuities. In our analysis, we uncover some of these tensions and examine the role they play in the configuration of adolescent's educational subjectivitiesThe research reported in this project was made possible through a research grant from theSpanish Ministry of Education and Science for the research project Adolescentes inmigrantesextranjeros en la ESO ‘Foreign immigrant adolescents in ESO’ (Reference: SEJ 2005-08371/SOCI

Changing digital media environments and youth audiovisual productions: A comparison of two collaborative research experiences with south Madrid adolescents

SAGE: David Poveda, Marta Morgade, Changing Digital Media Environments and Youth Audiovisual Productions: A Comparison of Two Collaborative Research Experiences with South Madrid Adolescents, Young 26.4 (2018): 34-55 Copyright © 2018SAGE. Reprinted by permission of SAGE PublicationsThis article compares two studies conducted in Madrid in a seven–eight years span in which secondary school students (14–15 years of age) were asked to collaboratively create digital audiovisual narratives. In the first project, adolescents seemed to consider their audiovisual materials as transparent and with self-evident meanings. In the second project, adolescents problematized meaning and reflexively examined the design of audiovisual media. We explore two distinct but complementary factors that might help interpret the differences: (a) rapid historical changes in the digital narratives adolescents are exposed to and engage with and (b) methodological differences in the way adolescents were supported and guided during the creation of their audiovisual narratives. Through this analysis, we draw on an ethnographically grounded notion of ‘mediatization’ that helps unpack both rapid transformations in adolescent’s digital mediascape and how digital practices are socially co-constructed in collaborative projects with youth

La renovación de la palabra en el bicentenario de la Argentina : los colores de la mirada lingüística

Las temáticas abordadas en los 167 capítulos muestran las grandes líneas de investigación que se desarrollan fundamentalmente en nuestro país, pero también en los otros países mencionados arriba, y señalan además las áreas que recién se inician, con poca tradición en nuestro país y que deberían fomentarse. Los trabajos aquí publicados se enmarcan dentro de las siguientes disciplinas y/o campos de investigación: Fonología, Sintaxis, Semántica y Pragmática, Lingüística Cognitiva, Análisis del Discurso, Psicolingüística, Adquisición de la Lengua, Sociolingüística y Dialectología, Didáctica de la lengua, Lingüística Aplicada, Lingüística Computacional, Historia de la Lengua y la Lingüística, Lenguas Aborígenes, Filosofía del Lenguaje, Lexicología y Terminología

Efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy in giant cell hepatitis with autoimmune hemolytic anemia: a multicenter study

Background and objective: Giant cell hepatitis with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (GCH-AHA) is a rare disease of infancy, of possible autoimmune mechanism with poor prognosis due to its scarce response to immunosuppressive drugs. The aim of this retrospective multicenter study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment in inducing and maintaining remission of the liver disease, in patients with GCH-AHA. Methods: Seven children with GCH-AHA, four newly diagnosed, and three in relapse, being treated with different therapies, received one to three IVIg infusions (0.5 to 2 g/kg) in association with other immunosuppressive drugs. Subsequently five of them received monthly sequential IVIg infusions (mean 13.4, range 7—24)

Efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy in giant cell hepatitis with autoimmune hemolytic anemia: A multicenter study

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Giant cell hepatitis with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (GCH-AHA) is a rare disease of infancy, of possible autoimmune mechanism with poor prognosis due to its scarce response to immunosuppressive drugs. The aim of this retrospective multicenter study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment in inducing and maintaining remission of the liver disease, in patients with GCH-AHA. METHODS: Seven children with GCH-AHA, four newly diagnosed, and three in relapse, being treated with different therapies, received one to three IVIg infusions (0.5 to 2g/kg) in association with other immunosuppressive drugs. Subsequently five of them received monthly sequential IVIg infusions (mean 13.4, range 7-24). RESULTS: IVIg infusions as first-line therapy associated with prednisone and other immunosuppressive drugs significantly (P=0.04) reduced the aminotransferase activity in all patients and normalized prothrombin activity in the only patient with severe liver dysfunction. Sequential monthly IVIg infusions determined a steroid-sparing effect and allowed a complete or partial remission in all patients, although with temporary efficacy, since relapse of the hemolytic anemia and/or of liver disease occurred in all patients. IVIg infusions were associated with mild side effects in two patients. CONCLUSIONS: IVIg infusion can be safely and effectively administered in patients with severe GCH-AHA at diagnosis, or in case of relapse, in association with other immunosuppressive drugs. Repeated IVIg infusions may help maintain remission, however, due to their temporary efficacy, they should not be routinely employe
