Occupational and job orientation: a new transformative experience in socially vulnerable communities
Get PDFOccupational and work guidance from a transformative experience in vulnerable communities offers a new perspective for students in their transition from the school world to the world of work. When adopting this perspective, significant challenges arise, such as lack of resources, resistance to change, poor coordination between different educational agents and the diversity of student needs. However, in the long term, occupational and career guidance can offer benefits such as greater return potential, the ability to take full advantage of the benefits of compound interest, fewer expenses, and reduced investment risk. These benefits can contribute to the development of more solid life projects and more informed decision-making by student

Counting scars. Memory, history and power surrounding the censorship of rock in Cuba
Get PDFIntroduction: The article examines the censorship of rock in Cuba and its impact on the collective memory of the rock community. Through an approach based on oral history and the genealogy of power, the author reconstructed testimonies of musicians and fans of the genre who suffered state repression. The censorship, which began in the 1960s, was based on a combination of political paranoia, machismo and excessive revolutionary idealism. Despite the state\u27s partial recognition of rock in recent years, episodes of repression continue to be minimized or denied in official discourse.Development: The analysis focused on the construction of memory and its use as a tool of resistance. Based on theorists such as Foucault, Ricoeur and Jelin, the author explored how individual and collective memories have been shaped by power. Events such as the controversy over the statue of John Lennon in Havana and the closure of Maxim Rock in 2023 were mentioned, both of which showed the use of institutional forgetting as a political strategy. In addition, the role of rock as a vehicle for denunciation was highlighted, with Cuban bands who have captured the experience of repression in their lyrics. The author also identified a phenomenon of “silence-forgetfulness”, in which some victims omit or modify their stories to avoid conflict or to preserve their livelihoods.Conclusion: The study revealed that the censorship of rock in Cuba not only affected individuals, but also shaped a struggle of memory and collective resistance. Despite state attempts to rewrite history, the rock community has used various platforms, from music to social networks, to preserve and vindicate their experiences. The collective memory of censorship remains alive as a form of cultural and political resistance
Durkheim’s contributions to Cultural Studies. A look from the social sciences
Get PDFÉmile Durkheim, a leading sociologist of the French Third Republic, did not limit himself to scientific production, but was actively engaged in the political and social problems of his time. Durkheim developed a «science of morality» and of political and social institutions, emphasizing the relationship between morality, the individual and society. According to Durkheim, the individual is born of society, and not the other way around, implying that social facts coerce and determine the lives of individuals from outside. The human body, although recognized as dual (biological and social), is considered less relevant than the social facts that condition it. Durkheim argued that society imposes norms and regulates the behavior of individuals, who are born into an already established system that coerces them. For him, society is a specific reality that surpasses the sum of individuals and has an existence independent of them. This is reflected in his analysis of the division of labor, where social morality and the restrictions imposed by society are essential to avoid destructive tendencies in the individual. In addition, Durkheim emphasized the role of the state, derived from society, in maintaining national cohesion. According to him, the function of government is to protect citizens and to lead society to its proper end, always respecting freedom of thought. He criticized both the socialist theory, which subordinates the individual to the state, and the liberal theory, which considers society as an abstraction. For Durkheim, authority must be based on a rational belief in it on the part of the citizens, without which the nation would fall into chao

Design of a local strategy for strengthening food sovereignty: the case of the el Pedregal municipal property of Villagarzón Putumayo
Get PDFIntroduction: the article discusses the evolution of global food systems, highlighting how advances in science, technology, and international markets have led to an automated food model. This model has increased food production to combat food insecurity, but has also generated significant negative impacts on the environment, communities, and human health. The persistence of food insecurity, the deterioration of arable land and the intensive use of agrochemicals are central issues. In Colombia, and specifically in Putumayo, agriculture is crucial to the economy, but faces challenges due to globalization and dependence on agrochemicals.Methods: the study focused on the department of Putumayo, Colombia, specifically in the municipality of Villagarzón and the El Pedregal farm. Adopting a social critical approach, a non-experimental and descriptive design with a cross-sectional scope was employed, using interviews to collect qualitative data. The selection of key informants was based on criteria related to economic dependence on agriculture and recognition of agroecology as an alternative method.Results: the interviews revealed a perception of food sovereignty as an expression of independence in agricultural and livestock production. Challenges identified include the need for investment and incentives, overcoming cultural barriers and the importance of effective technical advice. Technology transfer, focusing on integrated pest management and the use of on-farm inputs, was highlighted as crucial for the transition to agroecological practices. Challenges include overcoming cultural and economic constraints and the need for committed, quality advice.Conclusions: strengthening food sovereignty in Villagarzón, Putumayo, requires a local strategy that promotes producer independence, encourages internal production, and ensures the commitment and active participation of both producers and technicians. Complementarity, understood as collective work to obtain and govern resources and capacities, emerges as a key to the sustainable development of the agricultural community. The importance of quality technical assistance and a focus on agroecology is emphasize
