La cosmovisión detrás de la gestualidad japonesa. Una lectura de Cuentos de Tokio desde la perspectiva de Tada

En el siguiente ensayo se aborda la complejidad de lo que supone llegar a comprender una cultura, en concreto, la cultura japonesa, así como cuestiones que debemos tener en cuenta para no emitir juicios de valor adulterados ni pecar de etnocentrismo u orientalismo, algo esencial a la hora de hablar de otras culturas. Una vez explicados e interiorizados estos conceptos, lo siguiente que se estudia en este ensayo es la forma de vida japonesa, haciendo hincapié en las distintas religiones más populares y secundadas en Japón, sus códigos morales, las normas sociales por las que se rigen, y por supuesto, sus tradiciones, así como la dualidad de la sociedad japonesa manifestada en el par honne-tatemae. Una vez logrados estos cimientos necesarios para adentrarnos en la gestualidad japonesa, explicaremos algunos de los gestos más comunes que podemos ver en el día a día de las personas niponas, ya que cada cultura particular lleva consigo también unos gestos y unas expresiones nacidas de la propia tradición que probablemente se nos escapen si no hemos estudiado esa cultura en profundidad. Por último, a modo de poner en práctica todo lo trabajado y aprendido, se hará un análisis gestual de la película Cuentos de Tokio, haciendo uso de los conceptos e ideas estudiadas.This essay addresses the difficulties of understanding a culture other than our own, in particular Japanese culture, as well as the issues we need to be aware of if we do not want to be unjust in judging others according to our way of looking at things, and avoid ethnocentric or orientalist views when we talk about other cultures. Once basic concepts are assimilated and explained, we shall explore the Japanese way of living by paying attention to the more popular religions in Japan, their moral codes, as well as the duality of Japanese society manifested by the concepts hone-tatemae. By means of these tools, next we approach Japanese body language. We shall study some of the most ordinary gestures we can see daily in Japan, which are deeply rooted in the Japanese tradition and cannot be understood unless one is familiarized enough with Japanese culture. Finally, we apply what we have learnt to the film Tōkyō monogatari. We shall analyze the gestures that are present in the film while calling attention to how they are related to the Japanese worldview.Universidad de Sevilla. Grado en Estudios de Asia Orienta

Implications of COVID-19 on women workers in the service sector. A special focus on Spain

Informe aportación española a proyecto europeo.The spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its devastating effects has brought to light the contradictions already present in our society. These include the gender gap and the low value placed on care work. In this contribution, we focus on observing the effects of the syndemic in the Spanish service sector. In the future, it is our intention to collaborate in research aimed at investigating the other two issues, which have not been ad- dressed in this contribution. In southern Europe, Spain, like Italy, was one of the countries which was worst affected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Italy and Spain share a labour market structure marked by strong gender segregation, high precariousness of women’s employment, and wage restraint in the most female-dominated sectors. The following study highlights the issue that employment does not always enable women to escape from hardship and poverty. Moreover, the increase in female employment in itself says little about the conditions women face in the labour market. The crisis produced by the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has put a spotlight on the structural na- ture of gender discrimination in society and the presence of working conditions, which, according to ILO indicators, are far from satisfactory.European Parlament transform! european network for alternative thinking and political dialogu

How Biological Data Has Contributed to Management Plans in the Bay of La Paz: Los Islotes Sea Lion Rookery as Case of Study

Los Islotes is the southernmost breeding site of the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) in Northern Hemisphere and represents one of the most important economic activities for the city of La Paz, Mexico. The increasing tourism activity grew without any control until researchers and organizations started to be concerned about the perturbation to the reproductive and haul-out patterns of the sea lion. The International Conservation Program of The Nature Conservancy funded a research project, with the goal to determine the effect of tourism activities on the behavior of sea lions, in order to help design regulations to assure better use and conservation of the site. The nature and intensity of tourism activity and the effects to the sea lion behavior were determined based upon monthly sampling over a one-year period (May 2000-April 2001). The main result was that perturbations occurred mostly in autumn and winter coinciding with the highest frequency of tourism, large number of male sea lions, increasing suckling behavior of pups, and unfavorable environmental conditions for haul-out, such as high tide level and strong winds. Researchers, service tourism providers, and governmental personnel collaborated and participated in workshops organized by the regional office, CONANP-SEMARNAT, in order to develop a regulation plan with a buoy system and zoning specifications for tourism activities. Some of the former management strategies are in current force in conservation management plans in the area. Current needs for conservation physiology studies relative to changes in tourism and fishing activities will also be discussed.

Teachers' Narratives for the Liberation of the Identity of the Oppressor Teacher.

The study we are presenting shows an experience in which the teacher shares with the students a class diary that is mostly composed of personal reflective processes that happen during the subject. The context in which this experience takes place is in the subject Educational Organisation, in the second year of the degree in pedagogy at the University of Malaga, in the first semester of the academic year 2022- 2023. In this experience, 60 students and the four people who signed this paper participated, three of them being teachers of this subject, and the remaining person teaches the same group, but in another subject. The main objective is to show students the role of the teacher in a more humanised and closer way in order to create a relationship of trust between teachers and students. Paraphrasing bell hooks (2022), in order to create an atmosphere of trust in the classroom it has been necessary to take the teacher out of his or her safety zone, this has been done by not being afraid to show and recognise his or her mistakes, insecurities and even feelings of vulnerability with respect to some topics and situations that arise in class. Following the idea of the same work by bell hooks, conflict situations are used as opportunities to create spaces for debate and critical thinking instead of treating conflicts as taboo situations that are ignored to avoid frustration. The teacher, in this case, shares feelings of satisfaction, frustration, concerns, challenges, and even acknowledges mistakes in the approach to activities that turn out to be contrary to expectations. This generates class discussions in which a process of evolution in classroom interactions can be appreciated. The results of this experience, as well as its consequences, will be shared in the conclusions of this work.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech

A Disruptive Educational Project in Secondary Education. The Case of IES Cartagines.

The project presented here arises from the new educational needs that emanate from the changes taking place in the social, cultural, political, and economic spheres. The boundaries of formal education, as it has been understood until now, are being breached by new forms of learning, communication, and relationships, which are claiming their place in educational institutions. This is particularly relevant at the level of secondary education where the boundaries of conventional cultural and social systems are constantly being overwhelmed by these new realities (Fernández Enguita, 2016). This makes it necessary to rethink the systems of teaching and working in the educational system. Students at this educational level have a profile and resources closely linked to the knowmadic society (Cobo, 2016, Movarec, 2008), in which there is less and less sense in a teaching model based mainly on the unidirectional transmission of knowledge (Downes, 2017). This, in interaction with families, teachers and other educational agents, generates a world of conflicts of various kinds: curricular, social, attitudinal and expectations, etc.Ministerio de Economía y competitividad.

Conjugando discursos y praxis: una experiencia cooperativa entre alumnado,centros de prácticas y universidad

Esta experiencia surge de nuestros encuentros y preocupaciones. Somos tres profesoras universitarias noveles con una formación y un bagaje profesional diferente que confluimos en un espacio y tiempo trabajando para el Departamento de Didáctica y Organización Escolar de la Universidad de Málaga. El principal valor de esta unión son nuestras propias diferencias, ya que esta heterogeneidad nos permite un enriquecimiento y una compensación que subsane distintas debilidades individuales. A pesar de partir de realidades diversas, somos conscientes de la importancia y necesidad de transformar la formación inicial de docentes en búsqueda de la coherencia entre discursos y praxis. Para nosotras, ha sido una oportunidad unirnos y cooperar con el fin de mejorar nuestra práctica docente. En el conversar queda patente la diversidad de experiencias y conocimientos que decidimos compartir y así dar respuesta a las necesidades propias de afrontar una realidad educativa que hasta el momento era desconocida o que se había vivido de otra forma, sin tener la oportunidad de construirlo conjuntamente, respetando la manera en la que cada una entiende y vive la docencia buscando puntos comunes.Universidad de Málaga.
