Ethics of Remembering
Full text linkMuchas comunidades hoy en día siguen siendo acosadas por recuerdos conscientes e inconscientes de atrocidades pasadas mientras luchan por vivir con los legados de brutalidad y el trauma relacionado. Estos eventos deshumanizantes no son solo guerras recientes, conflictos violentos entre comunidades, genocidios, apartheid y desplazamiento forzado, sino también atrocidades más lejanas, como la ocupación de tierras indígenas, la esclavitud y el colonialismo. Entonces, el trauma se transmitió de una generación a la siguiente, y los efectos de la deshumanización se mantienen vivos en nuestra memoria colectiva. En este contexto, este artículo explora el recuerdo más allá de la cognición y más allá del lenguaje. Se basa en la teoría normativa de la memoria colectiva y presta atención al recuerdo como lo encarnado y lo emocional, incluidas las formas en que las sensaciones y los sentimientos potentes pueden encapsular las experiencias indecibles e inexpresables de pérdida, dolor e injusticia. Esto permite una mayor investigación sobre cómo recordar la brutalidad pasada puede transmitir y reforzar nuestra identidad, orientaciones relacionales y acciones. Qué recordamos y cómo deberíamos recordar el pasado puede determinar nuestra experiencia de nuestra dignidad y bienestar, este artículo propone que requiere la ética de recordar destinada a enriquecer el potencial curativo y transformador de la memoria colectiva, e inspirar nuestras responsabilidades para co-creando un mundo justo y humano.Many communities today continue to be haunted by conscious and unconscious memories of past atrocities as they struggle to live with the legacies of brutality and related trauma. These dehumanising events are not just recent wars, violent intercommunal conflicts, genocides, apartheid, and forced displacement, but also more distant outrages, including the occupation of indigenous lands, enslavement, and colonialism. So the trauma was transmitted from one generation to the next, and the effects of dehumanisation are kept alive in our collective memory. In this context, this article explores remembering as beyond the cognition and beyond language. It draws on the normative theory of collective memory and pays attention to remembering as the embodied and the emotional, including the ways that potent sensations and sentiments might encapsulate the unspeakable and in-articulatable experiences of loss, grief and injustice. This allows a further investigation into how remembering the past brutality can transmit and reinforce our identity, relational orientations and actions. As what we remember and how we should remember the past can determine our experience of our dignity and well-being, this article proposes that it requires the ethics of remembering aimed at enriching the healing and transformative potential of collective memory, and inspiring our responsibilities for co-creating a just and humane world
Activismo gordx colectivo y discursos del amor propio como estrategias diferenciadas frente a las normas reguladoras de los cuerpos.
Full text linkThis article characterizes and compares expressions of fat activism movements, distinguishing between the discourses of self-love and the proposals of collective fat activism. To do so, we analyze selected publications that circulated during the period 2018-2020 through Instagram by different accounts involved in discussions about body diversity in Argentina.
We conclude that, although both expressions propose strategies that seek to subvert the oppressive canons of beauty and the regulatory norms of bodies, they differ in the aspects they problematize and the responsibilities they assign. Whilst the first movement appeals to the isolated individual through discourses of self-acceptance and body positivity, blames them for not loving themselves enough, and imposes on them the individual task of learning to love and accept themselves to escape from suffering; the second brings a collective proposal, which problematizes the social aspect of fatness. For the collective proposal, the responsibility lies within the society that systematically exercises violence upon fat people, pathologizing them, and the only possible solution is the political struggle together with others for a social and structural transformation.
Este trabajo caracteriza y compara expresiones de los movimientos de activismo gordo, distinguiendo entre los discursos del amor propio y las propuestas del activismo gordo colectivo. Así, analizamos una selección de publicaciones puestas en circulación durante el período 2018-2020 a través de Instagram por distintas personalidades o grupos que participan de las discusiones sobre la diversidad corporal en Argentina.
Concluimos que si bien ambas expresiones plantean estrategias que buscan subvertir los cánones opresivos de belleza y las normas reguladoras de los cuerpos, se diferencian fundamentalmente en los aspectos que problematizan y en las responsabilidades que asignan. Mientras que el primer movimiento apela al individuo aislado a través de la autoaceptación y el body positivity, lo carga con la culpa de su malestar (por no amarse lo suficiente) y le impone como trabajo individual aprender a amarse y aceptarse para poder así escapar del sufrimiento; el segundo traerá una propuesta colectiva que problematiza el aspecto social de la gordura. Para ellos, la responsabilidad recaerá en la sociedad que ejerce sistemáticamente violencia sobre las personas gordas, fundamentalmente a través de su patologización, y la única solución posible es la lucha política junto con otrxs para una transformación de alcance social y estructural.
 
La agroecología como modo de existencia. La Red de Agroecología en el Uruguay contemporáneo
Full text linkThis article analyzes the individual stories and collective experiences from members of the Uruguayan Agroecology Network. The theoretical approach highlights the link between political ecology and the sociology of bodies and emotions. It focuses on: the relationship between the productive-reproductive sphere; the relationship between the economic stages of production, distribution and consumption; the relationship with nature; community building and commonality and the Network's relationship with other organizations and with the state.
The understanding of the Network and its daily political activities allow us to reflect on the simultaneous dynamics between actions of autonomy and antagonism. This invites us to rethink the classic approach to social and socio-environmental movements as large organic, stable, hierarchical institutions, with elaborate and "consensual" discourses and actions faced with a clear "enemy" or specific demands on the State. The collective experience of the Network transforms the sensitivities of its protagonists, revaluing their modes of existence and their their relation between territories, expanding the antagonistic struggle to the defense and consolidation of autonomous processes, deploying strategies and practices that are against-and-beyond capital and neocolonial extractivism.En el presente artículo se analizan relatos individuales y vivencias colectivas de integrantes de la Red de Agroecología del Uruguay, desde un enfoque que destaca el vínculo entre la ecología política y la sociología de cuerpos y emociones. Se focaliza en: la relación entre la esfera productiva-reproductiva; la relación entre las etapas económicas de producción, distribución y consumo; la relación con la naturaleza; la construcción de comunidad y el hacer común y la relación de la Red con otras organizaciones y con el estado.
La comprensión de la Red y su hacer político cotidiano permiten reflexionar sobre las dinámicas sostenidas desde un proceso simultáneo y de potenciación mutua entre acciones de autonomía y antagonismo. Esto invita a repensar el clásico abordaje de los movimientos sociales y socioambientales como grandes institucionalidades orgánicas, estables, jerárquicas, con discursos elaborados y “consensuados” y un accionar enfrentado a un “enemigo” claro o demandas específicas al Estado. La experiencia colectiva de la Red transforma las sensibilidades de sus protagonistas, revalorizando sus modos de existencia y sus territorios, ampliando la lucha antagónica a la defensa y consolidación de procesos autónomos, desplegando estrategias y prácticas que están en-contra-y-más-allá del capital y el extractivismo neocolonial
A múltipla clínica das depressões
Full text linkThe accute increase of depression is a worldwide and complex phenomenon. Its understanding requires the mobilization of several areas of knowledge (Corbanezi, 2021). The objective of this article is less to present extensively the different denominations, aspects, definitions, and understandings concerning depression as a clinical entity, and more to register that they exist, with the intention of revealing, or briefly reiterating, the vast complexity of this area from the point of view of some theoretical bodies, in contrast with the, in our view, simplified and condensed description found in the current diagnostic manuals, especially in the current Disorder and Statistic Manual-DSM. We point to the current number of cases diagnosed as depression, considered of the epidemic order in which, however, a whole range of distinct affections are indistinctly condensed, in the current prevalent diagnostic version. Distinct ranges of sadness, mourning processes, and other affective and physical states clinically similar to those credited as depression, have been steadily increasing numbers that, according to the WHO, are expected to reach the first cause of work impairement by 2030. A projection, or a state of affairs that is still poorly understood and, therefore, as an epidemic, ungoverned?A explosão dos casos de depressão é um fenômeno mundial e complexo. Sua compreensão requer a mobilização de diversas áreas do saber (Corbanezi, 2021). O objetivo deste artigo será menos o de apresentar extensivamente as diferentes denominações, vertentes, definições e compreensões referentes à depressão como entidade clínica, e mais o de registrar que estas existem, com o intuito ainda de revelar, ou reiterar, brevemente, a vasta complexidade desta área a partir do olhar de alguns corpos teóricos, em contraste com a, a nosso ver, simplificada e condensada descrição encontrada nos atuais manuais diagnósticos, em especial, no Manual de Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais-DSM vigente. Apontamos para o atual número de casos diagnosticados como depressão, considerado da ordem epidêmica no qual, no entanto, toda uma gama de afetos estão indistintamente aglomerados, na atual versão diagnóstica prevalente. Distintas gamas de tristeza, de processos de luto e de outros estados afetivos e físicos clinicamente semelhantes aos creditados como da depressão, vêm constantemente aumentando os números que, de acordo com a Organização Mundial da Saúde, devem atingir o primeiro lugar na causa de afastamento de trabalho até 2030. Uma projeção, ou um estado de coisas ainda mal compreendido e, portanto, tal qual uma epidemia, desgovernado
Miedo, esperanza y emergencia social.: La Confederación de Trabajadores de la Economía Popular y la movilización de San Cayetano (2011-2016)
Full text linkOn August 7, 2016 -San Cayetano's Day- the Confederation of Workers of the Popular Economy (CTEP), together with Barrios de Pie and the Classist and Combative Current (CCC), called for a massive mobilization to demand the passing of the social emergency law. The popular movements, grouped under the slogan "Peace, Bread, Land, Housing and Work", united in a sort of procession the more than thirteen kilometers that separate the church of Liniers -symbol of popular religiosity linked to the patron saint of labor- with the Plaza de Mayo -political center par excellence-. The article proposes an alternative and complementary approach to classical theories in the study of social movements. In line with the so-called "affective turn" in the social sciences, we highlight the role of emotions in social mobilization. We identify in fear and hope affective motivations that enable collective action, as well as the interrelation between the political and the religious, two spheres commonly considered separately.El 7 de agosto de 2016 -día de San Cayetano- la Confederación de Trabajadores de la Economía Popular (CTEP), junto a Barrios de Pie y la Corriente Clasista y Combativa (CCC), convocaron a una masiva movilización para exigir la sanción de la ley de emergencia social. Los movimientos populares, agrupados bajo el lema "Paz, Pan, Tierra, Techo y Trabajo", unieron en una suerte de procesión los más de trece kilómetros que separan la iglesia de Liniers -símbolo de la religiosidad popular ligada al santo patrón del trabajo- con la Plaza de Mayo -centro político por excelencia-. El artículo propone un abordaje alternativo y complementario a las teorías clásicas en el estudio de los movimientos sociales. En línea con el denominado "giro afectivo" en las ciencias sociales destacamos el rol de las emociones en la movilización social. Identificamos en el miedo y la esperanza motivaciones afectivas que posibilitan tanto la acción colectiva, así como la interrelación entre lo político y lo religioso, dos ámbitos comúnmente considerados por separado.

O banho de mar como potencializador de experiências corpóreas
Full text linkThis study aims to establish relationships between the construction of the body and sea bathing. This is a field research and the investigated group was composed of the reports of 10 subjects who frequently practice sea bathing at Ponta Negra beach, in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. In view of the results, we identified that the benefits gained from sea bathing are not only related to organic aspects, but also to psychological and social aspects. In this sense, we emphasize the different senses awakened from the experience of sea bathing, from stress, purification of the body, to feeling free, beyond the deficiencies present in the body. Senses these enhancers of the body in its relationship with the environment and with others. In view of this, we believe that it is important to consider the different spaces that enhance bodily experiences, amplifying the reflection that subjects, in these practices, amplify their senses of existence as beings present in the world, in relation to the other. Thus, we point out the idea that sea bathing can be considered an educational experience that includes a technique of lightness and self-care.Este estudo tem como objetivo estabelecer relações entre a construção do corpo e o banho de mar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo e o grupo investigado foi composto pelos relatos de 10 sujeitos que frequentemente tomam banho de mar na praia de Ponta Negra, praia da cidade de Natal, no Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. Diante dos resultados, identificamos que os benefícios adquiridos com o banho de mar, não são somente relacionados aos aspectos orgânicos, mas também aos aspectos psicológicos e sociais. Nesse sentido, ressaltamos os diferentes sentidos despertados a partir da vivência do banho do mar, desde o estresse, a purificação do corpo, até o sentir-se livre, para além das deficiências presentes no corpo. Sentidos esses potencializadores do corpo em sua relação com o meio e com os outros. Diante disso, acreditamos que é importante considerar os diferentes espaços que potencializam experiências corpóreas, amplificando a reflexão de que os sujeitos, nessas práticas, amplificam seus sentidos de existência como seres presentes no mundo, em relação com o outro. Assim, apontamos a ideia de que o banho de mar pode ser considerado uma experiência educativa que contemple uma técnica de leveza e de cuidado de si.
