El sexo y la revolución:la liberación lésbico-gay y la izquierda partidaria en Brasil

Este artículo emplea la teoría de campos para explicar por qué partidos de izquierda en Brasil empezaron a plantear debates sobre la liberación homosexual a finales de la década de 1970 y principios de 1980. El concepto de campo cultural permite aportar un análisis tanto cultural como institucional a los cambios en los debates en la izquierda, revelando procesos de impugnación frecuentemente ignorados en la literatura institucionalista sobre partidos. Cambios en instituciones electorales y la llegada de una nueva generación de cuadros, especialmente del movimiento estudiantil, alteraron fundamentalmente qué y quién era representable en el campo. El surgimiento de una contracultura de jóvenes también expandió el repertorio discursivo disponible a activistas y sus aliados partidarios, apoyados por debates marxistas en el nivel internacional. En últimas, esta coyuntura de fuerzas permitió a militantes partidarios impugnar significados históricamente vinculados al cuerpo, la sexualidad, la política y la vida cotidiana.This article draws on field theory to explain why leftist parties in Brazil first broached debates on homosexual liberation in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Consenso Mexicano para el Tratamiento de la Hepatitis C

El objetivo del Consenso Mexicano para el Tratamiento de la Hepatitis C fue el de desarrollar un documento como guía en la práctica clínica con aplicabilidad en México. Se tomó en cuenta la opinión de expertos en el tema con especialidad en: gastroenterología, infectología y hepatología. Se realizó una revisión de la bibliografía en MEDLINE, EMBASE y CENTRAL mediante palabras claves referentes al tratamiento de la hepatitis C. Posteriormente se evaluó la calidad de la evidencia mediante el sistema GRADE y se redactaron enunciados, los cuales fueron sometidos a voto mediante un sistema modificado Delphi, y posteriormente se realizó revisión y corrección de los enunciados por un panel de 34 votantes. Finalmente se clasificó el nivel de acuerdo para cada oración. Esta guía busca dar recomendaciones con énfasis en los nuevos antivirales de acción directa y de esta manera facilitar su uso en la práctica clínica. Cada caso debe ser individualizado según sus comorbilidades y el manejo de estos pacientes siempre debe ser multidisciplinario. Abstract The aim of the Mexican Consensus on the Treatment of Hepatitis C was to develop clinical practice guidelines applicable to Mexico. The expert opinion of specialists in the following areas was taken into account: gastroenterology, infectious diseases, and hepatology. A search of the medical literature was carried out on the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL databases through keywords related to hepatitis C treatment. The quality of evidence was subsequently evaluated using the GRADE system and the consensus statements were formulated. The statements were then voted upon, using the modified Delphi system, and reviewed and corrected by a panel of 34 voting participants. Finally, the level of agreement was classified for each statement. The present guidelines provide recommendations with an emphasis on the new direct-acting antivirals, to facilitate their use in clinical practice. Each case must be individualized according to the comorbidities involved and patient management must always be multidisciplinary

Social medicine, feminism and the politics of population: From transnational knowledge networks to national social movements in Brazil and Mexico

This article examines the role of national actors articulated with an explicitly counter-hegemonic transnational knowledge network (TKN) mobilising around social medicine in policy debates on population control and family planning. It focuses primarily on Brazil, using Mexico as a shadow case to highlight salient points of contrast. In doing so, it makes two contributions to larger debates about TKNs. First, it highlights the plural and contested nature of the knowledge production they enact, underscoring contestation around a global reproductive regime that consolidated around family planning. Second, it underscores how the position and relative influence of actors articulated with TKNs is shaped by political and institutional contexts at the national level, producing variable opportunities for the mobilisation of applied knowledge. Reflecting its advocates’ embeddedness in larger opposition movements to authoritarian states, social medicine had a greater influence on these debates in Brazil, where synergies with a resurgent feminist movement reinforced a shared insistence on comprehensive women’s healthcare and increased the salience of sterilisation abuse on the political agenda
