Heritage as a form of resistance to large-scale mining : the case of Huasco Alto, Chile
No full textEl artículo aborda el uso del patrimonio por parte de la Comunidad Agrícola de Ascendencia Diaguita Los
Huascoaltinos como estrategia de resistencia contra dos grandes proyectos mineros. La progresiva articulación
de un discurso patrimonial orientado a valorizar el territorio coincide con el inédito proceso de reetnificación
que emprendieron esas familias comuneras en torno al etnónimo “diaguita” hace ya casi dos décadas. De esa
forma, ambas dinámicas se imbrican para revitalizar a la organización comunitaria en pos del resguardo de la
propiedad y el derecho a un modelo de desarrollo local libremente elegido.Fil: Lorca, Mauricio. Universidad Autónoma de Chile. Universidad Bernardo OHiggins; Chile.Fil: Hufty, Marc. Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies; Suiza.This article discusses how the idea of territorial heritage has been used by the Comunidad Agrícola de Ascendencia
Diaguita Los Huascoaltinos as a resistance strategy against two large mining projects. The progressive articulation
of a heritage discourse aimed at valuing territory coincided with a process of re-ethnicization undertaken by local
families around the Diaguita ethnonym 20 years ago. These two dynamics interacted and led to a revitalization
of Diaguita institutions, helping the community to claim an increased control over their property and the right
to choose its own path towards development
Investigating policy processes: The Governance Analytical Frame-work (GAF)
Full text linkSocieties develop ways of making decisions regarding collective problems, thereby creating norms, rules, and institutions; this is what governance is about. In policy research, governance has become an important focus of attention; but debates show a lack of clarity at the conceptual level and a confusion between the use of the concept for prescriptive and analytical purposes. The present article is based on the hypothesis that using a clarified, non-normative governance perspective in policy research can contribute to an improved understanding of political processes, including formal and unrecognised ones, those embedded in larger and smaller social systems, as well as both vertical and horizontal political arrangements. The paper is the result of a collaborative engagement with the concept of governance within several networks, leading to the development of the Governance Analytical Framework (GAF). The GAF is a practical methodology for investigating governance processes, based on five analytical tools: problems, actors, social norms, processes, and nodal points. Besides describing the conceptual sources and analytical purpose of these five tools, the paper presents examples of how the GAF can be operationalised
El control social en la interface de communidades campesinas y municipios: Un proceso de aprendizaje social para el desarrollo sostenible
No full textGobernanza en salud pública: hacia un marco analítico
Full text linkEn este texto se argumenta que el “Marco Analítico de la Gobernanza” (MAG) es una metodología con un fuerte potencial para la investigación en políticas sociales, particularmente en el caso de la salud pública. Definiendo el concepto de gobernanza de manera pragmática, ésta se refiere a los procesos de interacción entre los actores involucrados en un asunto público, que llevan a la toma de decisiones o a la formulación de normas sociales. Se postula que hay procesos de gobernanza presentes en cualquier sociedad y, a diferencia de otros acercamientos, éstos se pueden observar y analizar a partir de una perspectiva que no sea normativa o prescriptiva. Finalmente, se desarrolla una metodología apoyada en varias disciplinas sociales que sirve para diagnosticar los procesos colectivos, misma que a su vez, se basa en cinco unidades analíticas principales presentadas aquí: problemas, actores, normas, procesos y puntos nodales. Estas unidades analíticas pretenden constituir una metodología coherente y lógicamente articulada y se propone su uso como instrumento metodológico para la investigación en políticas sociales

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
L’État entre révolution conservatrice et réformes administratives
No full textTous les aspects de la vie sociale sont désormais pensés en fonction de l’activité économique, évalués à l’aune du marché, comptabilisés et rationalisés. Le politique est remplacé par l’économique. La culture, la solidarité et la convivialité se sont effacées devant la « pensée comptable ». Le redressement des budgets étatiques et la concurrence internationale servent dorénavant de principes organisateurs à nos sociétés. La mondialisation et, en général, la profonde crise du modèle économique..
