Counterpublics on YouTube: The case of trans communities

The accessibility and democratization of online media has allowed voices to emerge around issues with low visibility. In this study we are looking at the trans community. Whereas publics are generated in mainstream media, counterpublics emerge from the margins, generating alternative spaces for debate and discussion. YouTube has emerged as a space for collaborative learning and participation, breaking the boundaries between public/private and collective/personal. Taking Elsa Ruiz Cómica and Alejandro P. E.’s YouTube channels as a case study, we intend to understand how their respective counter-publics are configured, and to analyze their strategies of technological appropriation and activism. Thanks to the debate generated by their videos, these trans youtubers manage to transfer innovative concepts to a wider audience, contributing to the recognition of diverse (sexual) identities, and to the questioning of gender binarism

Desarrollo de herramientas críticas e instrumentales y diseño de recursos educativos en abierto en torno al cómic

El cómic funciona como hilo conductor temático del proyecto, empleando las nuevas tecnologías y la teoría crítica de manera instrumental. cuenta con una triple vertiente: formación de estudiantes, formación de docentes y futuros docentes, y transferencia de resultados. Esta triple vertiente se desarrolla a través de tres ejes: (1) Club de lectura de cómic autogestionado por estudiantes, bajo el título «Narrativas éticas para repensar el mundo»; (2) Talleres instrumentales, teoría crítica y empleabilidad para estudiantes del club y el resto de la comunidad universitaria y un encuentro con una autora; (3) Realización de contenidos en abierto —podcasts,— con los resultados del aprendizaje en los ejes (1) y (2)

Compromising between European and US allergen immunotherapy schools: Discussions from GUIMIT, the Mexican immunotherapy guidelines

Background: Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) has a longstanding history and still remains the only disease-changing treatment for allergic rhinitis and asthma. Over the years 2 different schools have developed their strategies: the United States (US) and the European. Allergen extracts available in these regions are adapted to local practice. In other parts of the world, extracts from both regions and local ones are commercialized, as in Mexico. Here, local experts developed a national AIT guideline (GUIMIT 2019) searching for compromises between both schools. Methods: Using ADAPTE methodology for transculturizing guidelines and AGREE-II for evaluating guideline quality, GUIMIT selected 3 high-quality Main Reference Guidelines (MRGs): the European Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (EAACI) guideines, the S2k guideline of various German-speaking medical societies (2014), and the US Practice Parameters on Allergen Immunotherapy 2011. We formulated clinical questions and based responses on the fused evidence available in the MRGs, combined with local possibilities, patient's preference, and costs. We came across several issues on which the MRGs disagreed. These are presented here along with arguments of GUIMIT members to resolve them. GUIMIT (for a complete English version, see Supplementary data) concluded the following: Results: Related to the diagnosis of IgE-mediated respiratory allergy, apart from skin prick testing complementary tests (challenges, in vitro testing and molecular such as species-specific allergens) might be useful in selected cases to inform AIT composition. AIT is indicated in allergic rhinitis and suggested in allergic asthma (once controlled) and IgE-mediated atopic dermatitis. Concerning the correct subcutaneous AIT dose for compounding vials according to the US school: dosing tables and formula are given; up to 4 non-related allergens can be mixed, refraining from mixing high with low protease extracts. When using European extracts: the manufacturer's indications should be followed; in multi-allergic patients 2 simultaneous injections can be given (100% consensus); mixing is discouraged. In Mexico only allergoid tablets are available; based on doses used in all sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) publications referenced in MRGs, GUIMIT suggests a probable effective dose related to subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) might be: 50–200% of the monthly SCIT dose given daily, maximum mixing 4 allergens. Also, a table with practical suggestions on non-evidence-existing issues, developed with a simplified Delphi method, is added. Finally, dissemination and implementation of guidelines is briefly discussed, explaining how we used online tools for this in Mexico. Conclusions: Countries where European and American AIT extracts are available should adjust AIT according to which school is followed

El Don Juan en el cine de Wong Kar-wai: Análisis de 2046

This research was born from our interest in knowing the reasons why Mr Chow, one of the main characters in Wong Kar-wai’s cinema, can’t engage in any sentimental relationship. This enquiry leads us to study this character in relation with every woman that he seduces. His seduction strategies make us identify Mr. Chow with the Don Juan archetype. In our research, we will try to relate Mr. Chow’s figure with Don Juan as defined by Soren Kierkegaard in Diary of a Seducer: a man obsessed with aesthetics and the subjectivity, who transforms and reduces every conquest in his Idea of love, an impossible and spectral love. We analyze the film 2046, because is the film where this character conquers the largest number of women and because his Don Juan condition is more obvious here than in any other film. We take the film as a text, with an hermeneutic approach as proposed by Paul Ricoeur and H. G. Gadamer.Este trabajo nace de nuestro interés por conocer las razones por las que uno de los personajes principales del cine de Wong Kar-wai, el Sr. Chow, no puede formalizar ninguna relación sentimental. Esta cuestión inicial nos conduce al estudio de este personaje en relación con cada una de las mujeres que seduce. Sus estrategias de seducción y el trato cortés que mantiene con cada una de ellas, nos sirven para identificar al Sr. Chow con el arquetipo de Don Juan. En nuestro estudio, intentaremos poner en relación la figura del Sr. Chow con el Don Juan definido por Soren Kierkegaard en Diario del Seductor: obsesionado por la estética y la subjetividad, que transforma y reduce cada conquista en su Idea de amor -un amor imposible y espectral-. Analizaremos el film 2046, ya que es el film donde este personaje conquista a un mayor número de mujeres y su condición de Don Juan es más evidente. Nuestra consideración del film como un texto hace que podamos interpretar el texto fílmico desde el planteamiento hermenéutico propuesto por Paul Ricoeur y H. G. Gadamer
