A metáfora viva: Imagen femenina y poesía social en Ángela Figuera Aymerich
Get PDFIt is proposed to study the poetry of Ángela Figuera Aymerich (Bilbao, 1902-1984), an original and scarcely explored voice of the Spanish postwar period. In his poetry, topics of commitment linked to social poetry are discussed at their height in the moment of writing, with images and themes that convey testimonial affection through an eminently feminine perspective. Maternity, sexuality, the body, among others, are questions that vertebran his poetry since his first books and, however, have not been studied on the map of post-Bélic poetic discourses. In contrast, many critics or anthologies of the period omit some singularities, focusing on sections of his work that set aside gender questions. Here, it is proposed to approach its production seeking to highlight strategies, tones, topics, etc. which configures a female identity self-representation, establishing dialogues/contrasts with the predictable social role in the strongly patriarchal and ultra-catholic map of Francoism.Se propone estudiar la poesía de Ángela Figuera Aymerich (Bilbao, 1902-1984), una voz original y escasamente explorada de la posguerra española. En su poesía, se anudan los tópicos del compromiso vinculados a la poesía social en auge en su momento de escritura, con imágenes y temas que vehiculizan el afán testimonial a través de una perspectiva eminentemente femenina. La maternidad, la sexualidad, el cuerpo, entre otras, son cuestiones que vertebran su poesía desde sus primeros libros y, sin embargo, no han sido estudiadas en el mapa de los discursos poéticos posbélicos. En contraste, muchos de los críticos o antologías del período omiten dichas singularidades, enfocando las secciones de su obra que dejan de lado las cuestiones de género. Aquí, se propone abordar su producción procurando destacar las estrategias, tonos, tópicos, etc. que configuran una autorrepresentación identitaria femenina, estableciendo diálogos/contrastes con el rol social previsible en el mapa fuertemente patriarcal y ultracatólico del franquismo
Characterization of the pork sector in the productive core of Argentina: a look at small producers
Get PDFPros and cons of pork production in Argentina underscore the need to have information to empower pork producers. This study characterizes three pork production strata (Small, Medium, and Large) in north Buenos Aires using surveys (n=40). We provide information on farms, management practices, infrastructure, technology and commercial activities. We found significant differences (p-value < 0.05) between strata in the use of artificial insemination and effluent treatment (mainly through lagoons and soil application) regarding infrastructure and technology. Additionally, there was a trend towards breeding in confined systems as the size of the production increased. Furthermore, despite 72.50% of surveyed producers having reported access to professional veterinary advice, we found a significant difference (p-value = 0.0167) in access between the Small (45.45%) and Large (100%) strata. Regarding commercialization, data indicated piglet sales as the predominant activity, with pig farming serving as a supplementary source of income for most producers. These findings show the need for professional intervention in smaller-scale pig farms to overcome structural barriers and access to the production chain.
Highlights:
The majority of surveyed pork producers (82.05%) relied on natural mating for breeding, with significantly greater access to artificial insemination in the Large stratum.
For the first time, information is presented on effluent disposal and/or treatment processes to reduce contaminants, along with workforce size, within the study area.
A Significant proportion of surveyed swine producers (72.50%) received veterinary advice, though there was a statistically difference between the Small and Large strata.
Predominant proportion of producers (65%) reported primarily selling piglets, with private sales prevailing in the Small and Medium stratum.Pros and cons of pork production in Argentina underscore the need to have information to empower pork producers.

Obtaining a lipid extract from peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) epicarp. Quantification of carotenoid content and application as a food additive
Get PDFThe agro-industrial assessment of fruit by-products as food additives would allow compliance with Sustainable Development Goals. This research aimed at the homogenizer-assisted extraction of total carotenoids from peach palm (Bactris gasipaes) peel (epicarp) with sunflower oil. We also studied its application as a natural additive in white corn flour food. The response surface methodology and the rotational composite central design quantified the extraction process. The studied factors were extraction speed, temperature, time, and liquid-solid ratio. Total carotenoid content in the extract (336.06 µg/g dried epicarp) was optimized at 50°C, with 76 seconds, extraction speed of 19200 rpm, and liquid-solid ratio of 48.75 mL/g. The green extract obtained from homogenizer-assisted extraction constitutes a natural additive with agro-industrial potential for use in roasted corn cake, increasing carotenoid (30.60 µg/g of β-carotene), provitamin A (4.14 µg/g) and antioxidant activity (11.57 % DPPH).
Highlights:
Homogenizer-assisted extraction (HAE) is adequate for carotenoid extraction in peach palm epicarp.
The lipid extract from the peach palm epicarp is a source of provitamin A.
Lipid extract obtained is a natural additive with potential for use in corn griddle cakes.The agro-industrial assessment of fruit by-products as food additives would allow compliance with Sustainable Development Goals.

Contribuições da Hermenêutica Ricoueriana na Análise do Discurso: Ricoeur’s Contribution to Discourse Analysis
No full textDiscourse Analysis became mainstream in Organizational Studies. While some easily recognize discourse as one of the most expressive contemporary organizational phenomena, others consider its onto-epistemological and theoretical-methodological aspects to lack consistency: discourse is conceptually fragile and means virtually anything; it is epistemologically fragile as a pure reflector of reality or its universal constructor; builds false perceptions that is a simplistic way to access and understand reality objectively. In this paper, we confront these claims by proposing Ricoeur’s hermeneutics as an onto-epistemological alternative. We develop a comprehensive view of hermeneutics showing its strong connections with discourse and demonstrate how, in Ricoeur’s hermeneutics, the most elementary concepts are intimately connected to the philosophical aspects of the discourse. Finally, we explain how Ricoeur’s hermeneutics may be an epistemology for Discourse Analysis.El análisis del discurso se volvió común en los estudios organizacionales. Mientras algunos reconocen fácilmente el discurso como uno de los fenómenos organizacionales contemporáneos más expresivos, otros consideran que sus aspectos onto-epistemológicos y teórico-metodológicos carecen de consistencia: el discurso es conceptualmente frágil y significa prácticamente cualquier cosa; es epistemológicamente frágil como puro reflector de la realidad o su constructor universal; construye percepciones falsas de que es una forma simplista de acceder y comprender la realidad de manera puramente objetiva. En este artículo confrontamos estas afirmaciones proponiendo la hermenéutica de Ricoeur como una alternativa onto-epistemológica. Desarrollamos una visión integral de la hermenéutica que muestra sus fuertes conexiones con el discurso y demostramos cómo, en la hermenéutica de Ricoeur, los conceptos más elementales están íntimamente conectados con los aspectos filosóficos del discurso. Finalmente, explicamos cómo la hermenéutica de Ricoeur puede ser una epistemología para el análisis del discurso.A análise do discurso tornou-se um profícuo campo nos estudos organizacionais. Enquanto alguns reconhecem facilmente o discurso como um dos mais expressivos fenômenos organizacionais contemporâneos, outros consideram que os seus aspectos onto-epistemológicos e teórico-metodológicos carecem de consistência: o discurso é visto como conceitualmente frágil, podendo significar virtualmente qualquer coisa que o pesquisador queira lhe atribuir; é epistemologicamente frágil, sendo assumido como puro refletor de uma realidade ou como seu construtor universal; constrói falsas percepções de que é uma forma simplista de se acessar e de se compreender a realidade de forma puramente objetiva. Neste artigo, confrontamos essas afirmações propondo a hermenêutica ricoeuriana como alternativa onto-epistemológica para a análise do discurso. Desenvolvemos uma visão ampla da hermenêutica a partir de seus aspectos filosóficos fundamentais que mostra suas fortes conexões com o discurso, e demonstramos como, na hermenêutica de Ricoeur, os conceitos mais elementares estão intimamente ligados aos aspectos filosóficos subjacentes do discurso enquanto objeto de estudo. Por fim, explicamos como a hermenêutica ricoeurians pode ser uma epistemologia para a análise do discurso
Entre la agricultura urbana y la educación ambiental: la construcción de pedagogías en una perspectiva decolonial
Get PDFThe article explores the intersection between Environmental Education (EE), Agroecology, and Decoloniality through the experience of the Carioca Urban Agriculture Network (Rede CAU, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Using the methodology of Participatory Action Research (PAR), the study identifies emerging pedagogies in urban agriculture, highlighting their potential to transform socio-environmental realities. Grounded in Political Ecology and decolonial thought, the research analyzes the impacts of the agro-export and colonialist model, demonstrating how agroecology can strengthen food sovereignty and local communities. Nine pedagogical processes were identified, including community organization, knowledge exchange, political engagement, and the recognition of backyards and markets as educational spaces. By engaging with agroecology, EE enhances decolonization and resistance processes, contributing to sustainable and context-based practices. The study concludes that Rede CAU plays a crucial role in promoting socio-environmental and cognitive justice, demonstrating how urban agriculture can serve as a powerful educational tool in building more just social and environmental alternatives.El artículo explora la intersección entre la Educación Ambiental (EA), la Agroecología y la Decolonialidad a partir de la experiencia de la Red Carioca de Agricultura Urbana (Red CAU, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil). Utilizando la metodología de la Investigación-Acción Participativa, la investigación identifica pedagogías emergentes en la agricultura urbana, destacando su potencial para transformar realidades socioambientales. Basado en la Ecología Política y el pensamiento decolonial, el estudio analiza los impactos del modelo agroexportador y colonialista, evidenciando cómo la agroecología puede fortalecer la soberanía alimentaria y las comunidades. Se identificaron nueve procesos pedagógicos, como la organización comunitaria, el intercambio de conocimientos, la incidencia política y la valorización de los patios y ferias como espacios educativos. La EA, al dialogar con la agroecología, potencia procesos de descolonización y resistencia, contribuyendo a prácticas sostenibles y contextualizadas. La investigación concluye que la Red CAU desempeña un papel crucial en la promoción de la justicia socioambiental y cognitiva, demostrando cómo la agricultura urbana puede ser una herramienta educativa poderosa en la construcción de alternativas sociales y ambientales más justas
La represa entra a la escuela. Experiencias educativas transdisciplinarias para la identificación de estrategias colectivas ante la crisis ambiental hídrica en Guanacache (Mendoza, Argentina)
Get PDFThis work presents an ethnographic approach to environmental education with cultural inclusion, based on experiences in a boarding secondary school in Guanacache (Mendoza, Argentina). The research integrates academic and community knowledge around local water technology: rainwater harvesting through earth dams, a practice deeply rooted in Indigenous peasant traditions. Through students’ voices, local water access strategies are explored within a context of environmental desiccation. From a critical environmental perspective, the study pursues two main objectives: to highlight teaching and learning experiences with social and community grounding, and to propose pedagogical tools to contextualize environmental curricular content. Educational practices include case studies, dam design and model-making, group projects to create written and graphic materials, and the production of audiovisual content. These activities aim to problematize the dam as a subject of study and to foster understanding of its sociocultural significance. The research promotes a critical adaptation of the curriculum to specific contexts of environmental crisis, encouraging a transdisciplinary education that supports civic transformation and the collective development of water management solutions.Este trabajo presenta una aproximación etnográfica a la educación ambiental con inclusión cultural, basada en experiencias en una escuela secundaria albergue de Guanacache (Mendoza, Argentina). La investigación articula saberes académicos y comunitarios en torno al concepto captación de agua de lluvia en represas de tierra, tecnología hídrica local con fuerte arraigo indígena campesino. A través de la voz de las y los estudiantes, se exploran estrategias locales de acceso al agua en un contexto de desecamiento ambiental. Desde una perspectiva ambiental crítica, el estudio persigue dos objetivos: visibilizar experiencias educativas con anclaje social y comunitario, y proponer herramientas pedagógicas para contextualizar contenidos ambientales. Se desarrollan prácticas didácticas como estudios de caso, diseño y modelización en maquetas, trabajos grupales para elaborar materiales textuales y gráficos, y producción de audiovisuales. Estas actividades buscan problematizar la represa como objeto de estudio y fomentar la comprensión de su relevancia sociocultural. El trabajo promueve una adecuación del currículum a contextos específicos de crisis ambiental, fomentando una educación transdisciplinaria que impulse la transformación ciudadana y la generación colectiva de soluciones hídricas
Algunas consideraciones acerca de la experiencia psicológica del tiempo en la amistad según Tomás de Aquino
Get PDFFor Thomas Aquinas, man's goal is the complete actualization of his potentialities, which he achieves in this life in a progressive manner as he affirms himself more and more in the plenitude of the act of being. On the other hand, Aquinas understands eternity not in the sense of an endless life but, rather, as a life that lacks temporal succession and, moreover, that possesses full actuality. Friendships founded on virtue put man in contact with this ultimate perfection because they order it to it, producing in him, to a certain extent, a psychological experience of absence of succession when he enjoys the company of a friend. The incontinent man, who acts according to the incessant movement of his passions and whose sensitivity is dulled by the succession of images, on the other hand, frequently establishes friendships founded on mere pleasure or utility. Because they are closed to true friendship, these relationships, very common in our time, cause man more suffering than pleasure, especially because they keep him subject to the uninterrupted desire for goods that never end up satisfying him, immersing him, in a certain way, in the becoming of material things.Para Tomás de Aquino la finalidad del hombre consiste en la completa actualización de sus potencialidades, que va alcanzando en esta vida de manera progresiva a medida en que va afirmándose más y más en la plenitud del acto de ser. Por otra parte, el Aquinate entiende la eternidad no en el sentido de una vida interminable sino, más bien, como una vida que carece de sucesión de temporal y que, por lo mismo, posee actualidad plena. En cuanto lo ordenan a ella, las amistades fundadas en la virtud ponen al hombre en contacto con esa perfección última, produciéndole, en alguna medida, una experiencia psicológica de ausencia de sucesión cuando gozan de la compañía del amigo. El hombre incontinente, que obra de acuerdo con el movimiento incesante de sus pasiones y que posee su sensibilidad embotada por la sucesión de imágenes, en cambio, con frecuencia establece amistades fundadas sobre el mero placer o la utilidad. En la medida en que se cierran a la verdadera amistad, esas amistades, muy comunes en nuestra época, le producen al hombre más sufrimiento que placer, en especial porque lo mantienen sujeto al deseo ininterrumpido de bienes que nunca terminan por colmarlo, sumergiéndolo, en cierto modo, en el devenir de las cosas materiales
Desigualdad categorial en el “entremedio social” de Córdoba. Aproximación desde trayectorias de oficiales de curación (siglos XVI - principios del siglo XVII)
Get PDFThe objective of this article is to analyze the construction of categorical inequalities in a social segment in Córdoba del Tucumán during the sixteenth and first half of the seventeenth centuries, based on the microanalysis of healing officers’ trajectories (i. e., medical graduates, surgeons, barbers). These trajectories are studied by paying special attention to self-ascription, temporal evolution of the categorization attributed, social relationships established by these actors and the duration of their presence in the jurisdiction, as indicators of social integration in process. It is observed that the “vecindad”, as a social fact, constituted an indicator of the hierarchy within the urban community, and that the different degrees of integration of these officials were translated into a range of categories of local use and application. This constituted a specific form of inequality instituted from social relations.El objetivo del artículo es analizar la construcción de desigualdades categoriales en un segmento social en Córdoba del Tucumán durante los siglos XVI y la primera mitad del XVII, a partir del microanálisis del conjunto de trayectorias de los oficiales de curación (licenciados en medicina, cirujanos y barberos). Se presta especial atención a la autoadscripción consignada, la evolución temporal de la categorización atribuida, los vínculos sociales establecidos por estos actores y la duración de su presencia constatada en la jurisdicción, como indicadores de la integración social en proceso. Se observa que la vecindad, en tanto hecho social, constituyó un indicador de la jerarquización al interior de la comunidad urbana, y que los distintos grados de integración de estos oficiales se tradujeron en un rango de categorías de uso y aplicación local. Esto constituyó una forma específica de desigualdad instituida desde las relaciones sociales
Conflicto y violencia política durante la vía chilena al socialismo en el género memorias
Get PDFThe subject of memory has been a relevant field of dispute in recent decades, especially in those societies that, like Latin America, have suffered significant episodes of violence in their recent past. This article explores one of those stages using the genre of memoirs as its main source of inquiry. In particular, it studies how the dynamics of political violence that occurred during the Popular Unity government have been characterized and remembered by the main protagonists of that period through their memoirs. The analysis of these texts reveals the existence of two central themes, and continually evoked by the memorialists: its connection to the structural transformations carried out by the government of Salvador Allende and the actions of various armed groups.El tema de la memoria ha sido un campo de disputa relevante en las últimas décadas, sobre todo en aquellas sociedades que, como la de América Latina, han sufrido episodios significativos de violencia en su pasado reciente. Este artículo explora una de esas etapas utilizando el género de las memorias como su principal fuente de indagación. En particular, se estudia cómo las dinámicas de violencia política ocurridas en Chile durante la Unidad Popular han sido caracterizadas y recordadas por los principales protagonistas de ese periodo a través de sus memorias. El análisis de estos textos arroja la existencia de dos temáticas centrales, y continuamente evocadas por los memorialistas: su conexión a las transformaciones estructurales llevadas a cabo por el gobierno de Salvador Allende y la actuación de diversos grupos armados
