The Challenging conversation: Peace culture regarding Costa Rican sexual education.
No full textEste documento presenta una reflexión sobre el impacto de los partidismos dirigidos a la identidad y la polarización de discursos sobre la educación sexual en la educación pública costarricense, así como la difusa conceptualización de la llamada “ideología de género” y las preocupaciones que plantea desde lo social comunitario. Se presenta una propuesta integradora de los principios necesarios para una educación sexual saludable, la cual fue ratificada por diez psicólogos costarricenses, entre ellos la autora. Una cultura de paz caracterizada por la participación de todas las partes involucradas así como la capacidad para generar espacios seguros para el diálogo se hacen necesarias para enfrentar los temas delicados que atañen a la población menor de edad de Costa Rica.This article presents a reflexion about the impact of identity politics
regarding the polarizing discourses about sexual education in Costa Rican public
education. It also refers to the difuse conceptualization of the so called “gender
ideology” and the concerns it raises from the comunity. An integrating proposal
about the necesary principles for healthy sexual education is presented, which was ratified by ten costa rican psychologist, including the author. A peace culture that
builds on engaging all parties, as well as the capacity to open safe spaces for
dialogue are fundamental to face the delicate issues that involve Costa Rican

LOS LÍMITES DEL REFERENDO SOBRE EL TLC COMO INSTRUMENTO DE PARTICIPACIÓN POLÍTICA EN COSTA RICA
No full textThis article analyses the referendum on the Free Trade Agreement with the United States, Central America and the Dominican Republic (CAFTA), which took place in Costa Rica during 2007. The premise of the author is that, due to its great political significance and its socio-political complexity, the referendum must be analyzed from various approaches, including political communication. From that perspective, the author points out several elements: first, the media structures in which the communication campaigns, in favor and against, were developed. This includes television, radio, newspapers and Internet. Second, the referendum’s rules of the game, including the issues of funding, the media agenda setting, the role of the Executive and, finally, the strategy and content of the campaigns developed by the groups in favor (Yes) and against (No) CAFTA. Internet deserves special mention as a new arena of contention communications in Costa Rica. Throughout the article, the author showed evidence of the inequality in the rules of the game, economic resources and media agendas, including the use of fear as political resource, which clearly favored groups that supported CAFTA, but that substantially limited the democratic content of the referendum. The article concludes pointing out lessons and aspects that should be modified in order to democratize referendum in Costa Rica.El presente artículo analiza el referendo sobre el Tratado de Libre Comercio con Estados Unidos, Centroamérica y República Dominicana que se realizó en Costa Rica durante el año 2007. La premisa de la que parte el autor es que, por su gran significado político y por la complejidad de su dinámica socio-política, el referendo debe ser analizado desde diversas perspectivas, incluyendo la comunicación política. Desde esa perspectiva, el autor destaca en su análisis varios elementos: primero, la estructura del campo mediático en la que se desarrollaron las campañas, incluyendo televisión, radio, prensa escrita e Internet. Segundo, las reglas del juego con las que se desarrolló el referendo, incluyendo el tema del financiamiento, la agenda de los principales medios comerciales, el papel del Ejecutivo y, finalmente, la estrategia y el contenido de las campañas desarrolladas por los grupos a favor (Sí) y en contra (No) del TLC. Una mención especial merece la Internet como una nueva arena de disputa comunicacional en Costa Rica. A lo largo del artículo se evidencia las condiciones de desigualdad en las reglas de juego, recursos económicos y agendas mediáticas, incluyendo el uso del miedo como recurso mediático, que claramente favorecieron a los grupos que apoyaban el TLC, pero que limitaron sustantivamente el contenido democrático del referendo. El artículo concluye señalando aspectos que deben modificarse para democratizar el referendo en Costa Rica
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
RESENHA DE: “CRÔNICAS DE SÃO FRANCISCO: I FIORETTI” POR ALEX SILVA COSTA: Review of: “Chronicles of San Francisco: I Fioretti” by Alex Silva Costa
No full textAo ser presenteado pela Doutoranda Elisângela Coelho Morais (PPGHIS-UFMA) com a recente tradução lançada em 2021 de I Fioretti di San Francesco realizada por Veríssimo Anagnostopoulos e lançada pela editora Minha Biblioteca Católica. Na versão optou-se pelo título Crônicas de São Francisco, o que traz diferenças em relação a uma tradução mais aproximada que seria Florezinhas/ Florinhas de São Francisco. A atribuição “Crônicas” nem por isso deixa de ter sentido, ao contrário, confere condição semântica ao gênero textual por justamente apresentar textos curtos que apresentam episódios vividos de maneira exuberante e mística por Francisco de Assis e seus companheiros e discípulos destes. Por isso, apressei-me a desfrutar da novidade do material por ser uma fonte de pesquisa que há tempos trabalho para a construção da tese, “Nos qui cum eo fuimus”: representação e memória do milagre dos estigmas de Francisco de Assis nas hagiografias franciscanas “não oficiais” (séculos XIII e XIV), junto ao PPGHIS-UFMA e sob a orientação do Prof. Dr. Marcus Baccega (UFMA). 
Costa Rican gut fungi (Trichomycetes) infecting lotic insect larvae
No full textTrichomycetes infecting freshwater Ephemeroptera and Díptera (Siínuliidae, Chironomidae) in various life zones oC Cósta Rica were studied. Insect populations in 36 streams were sampled, a few repeatedly, at four different . perlods of time over seven years. Eleven new species of Harpellales are reported, plus six species known to occur also in n ontropical parts oí the world. Included are new species of Harpella and Pennella, a new monotypic genus (Graminelloides), and four new species of the previously monotypic genera Spartiella and Genistellospora. Seven new Smittiúm species, including three that are not named at this time, were cultured axenically. A new Amoebidium (Amoebidiales) was found in a stream polluted with organic matter. In the same polluted stream more species of dipteran larvae and a greater number of gut fungi were present than in stretclies of unpolluted water upstream. The overall diversity of Harpellales and their aquatic insect hosts in most Costa Rican streams appeared to be lower than what the author has found in many lotic habitats in more northem and southem regions of the world, and thus this order of fungi may be an exception to the 'latitudinal species diversity gradient' concept as it applies to many other tropical organisms.
