Genre, Methodology and Feminist Practice

The rainy season is not quite over although it has nearly spent itself. I drive leisurely along five miles of roller coaster highway, down and up, up and down again as I drink in the grandeur of the sunset. I come to the 'big hill', around and over which the road twines narrowly. From its summit I see at my left a deep purple canyon, green at the bottom with irrigated fields. At my right the sun is setting across a wide valley, the shadows replaced by roseate gold interrupted by the white resplendence of chalk cliffs. As if this were not sufficient, a light female rain like that which falls constantly over the home of the Corn gods, drops between me and the sun. I gasp in my inability to comprehend the sight fully as I turn my head forty-five degrees to behold a complete rainbow and behind it the thinnest slice of a new moon.

Perianal Pediatric Crohn Disease Is Associated With a Distinct Phenotype and Greater Inflammatory Burden

Objectives: Data on the outcomes of children with perianal Crohn disease (pCD) are limited, although its presence is often used for justifying early use of biologics. We aimed to assess whether pCD in children is associated with more severe outcomes as found in adults. Methods: Data were extracted from the ImageKids database, a prospective, multicenter, longitudinal cohort study. The study enrolled 246 children at disease onset or thereafter. All patients underwent comprehensive clinical, endoscopic, and radiologic evaluation at enrollment;98 children had repeat evaluation at 18 months. Results: Of the 234 included patients (mean age 14.2 +/- 2.4 years;131 [56%] boys), 57 (24%) had perianal findings, whereas only 21 (9%) had fistulizing perianal disease. Children with pCD had reduced weight and height z scores compared with non-pCD patients (-0.9 vs -0.35, P = 0.03 and -0.68 vs -0.23, respectively;P = 0.04), higher weighted pediatric CD activity index (32 [interquartile range 16-50] vs 20 [8-37];P = 0.004), lower serum albumin (3.6 +/- 0.7 vs 4.5 +/- 0.8, P = 0.016), and higher magnetic resonance enterography global inflammatory score (P = 0.04). Children with pCD had more rectal (57% vs 38%, P = 0.04), and jejunal involvement (31% vs 11% P = 0.003) and a higher prevalence of granulomas (64% vs 23%, P = 0.0001). Magnetic resonance enterography-based damage scores did not differ between groups. Patients with skin tags/fissures only, had similar clinical, endoscopic, and radiologic characteristics as patients with no perianal findings. Conclusions: Pediatric patients with pCD with fistulizing disease have distinct phenotypic features and a predisposition to a greater inflammatory burden

Por que o mineral sofre? Teorias mestiças fronteriças e ontologias do real com relação ao extrativismo minerador em San Juan, Argentina

Objetivo/contexto: este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar aspectos de un trabajo etnográfico referido a las teorías mestizas fronterizas que circulan en comunidades del norte de San Juan, Argentina, con relación al extractivismo minero, poniendo el acento en la comprensión de las ontologías de lo real que las constituyen a partir de experiencias históricas y modos de relacionalidad local. Metodología: el trabajo se apoya en el estudio etnográfico de las relaciones conflictivas existentes entre las praxis cotidianas y las narrativas pluriversales locales en comunidades del norte de San Juan, al expresar otras ontologías de “lo real” disidentes a los proyectos políticos de incorporación-exclusión estatal y de mercado en estas comunidades, conformadas tanto por seres humanos, como por seres no humanos, que cohabitan estos lugares y agencian territorios en su actuar político. Conclusiones: se plantea que la discusión política pública, en torno a la presencia de los proyectos mega-mineros en las nacientes de agua cordillerana (glaciares) en San Juan, excluye a la ontología política y relacional expresada en las teorías mestizas fronterizas locales. Originalidad: el artículo propone reflexiones sobre las ontologías de los conflictos neoextractivistas en Argentina, abriendo cuestionamientos con derivaciones teóricas y metodológicas no exploradas en la bibliografía referida al caso de la provincia de San Juan.Objective/context: The purpose of this article is to present aspects of an 76 ethnographic work concerning the borderlands mestizo theories that circulate in communities in the north of San Juan, Argentina, related to mineral extractivism, emphasizing the understanding of ontologies of the real that are constituted from historical experiences and modes of local relationality. Methodology: The work is based on the ethnographic study of the existing conflictive relations between the daily praxis and the local pluriverse narratives in communities of the north of San Juan, when expressing other ontologies of “the real” that disagree with the political projects of state and market incorporation-exclusion in these communities, conformed by humans, as much as by nonhumans, that cohabit these places and manage territories in their political act. Conclusions: It is proposed that the public political discussion, around the presence of mega-mining projects in the mountain water springs (glaciers) in San Juan, excludes the political and relational ontology expressed in the local borderlands mestizo theories. Originality: T he article proposes reflections on the ontologies of neo-extractivist conflicts in Argentina, by opening questions with theoretical and methodological derivations not explored in the bibliography referring to the case of the province of San Juan.Objetivo/contexto: este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar aspectos de um trabalho etnográfico referente às teorias mestiças fronteiriças que circulam em comunidades no norte de San Juan, Argentina, relacionadas com o extrativismo minerador, com ênfase na compreensão das ontologias do real que são constituídas a partir de experiências históricas e dos modos de relacionamento local.

Conclusões: propõe-se que a discussão política pública sobre a presença dos projetos megamineradores nas nascentes de água da Cordilheira (glaciares) em San Juan exclui a ontologia política e relacional expressa nas teorias mestiças fronteiriças locais. Originalidade: este artigo reflete acerca das ontologias dos conflitos neoextrativistas na Argentina ao abrir questionamentos com derivações teóricas e metodológicas não exploradas na literatura referida ao caso da província de San Juan.Fil: Jofre, Ivana Carina.
