    Revistas científicas en la era de la inteligencia artificial: calidad, creatividad y responsabilidad

    Full text link
    In recent years, the rise of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has disrupted research and academic publishing practices. Both authors and reviewers now face an unprecedented scenario in which algorithmic tools intervene in text production, literature search, data organization, and increasingly, in the very drafting of manuscripts. This transformation compels scientific journals to reconsider their standards—not to relax them at the expense of quality, but rather to reinforce those principles that give academic activity its meaning.En los últimos años, la popularización de las inteligencias artificiales generativas (IA) ha transformado de manera disruptiva las prácticas de investigación y publicación académica. Tanto autores como revisores se encuentran hoy ante un escenario inédito, en el que las herramientas algorítmicas intervienen en la producción de textos, en la búsqueda bibliográfica, en la organización de datos y, cada vez más, en la redacción misma de manuscritos. Este cambio obliga a las revistas científicas a repensar sus estándares, no para flexibilizarlos en detrimento de la calidad, sino para reforzar aquello que constituye el sentido de la actividad académica

    The Role of Design in Evolutionary Models of Technological Change

    No full text
    Technological change is one of the central concerns of several disciplines, insofar as they seek to explain the causes and effects that drive transformations in the technical environment. Among the diverse explanatory approaches, one finds a group of theories inspired by Darwinian evolutionism, which is more than a biological metaphor and can be applied to many historical and adaptive processes, including technical change. Despite their explanatory strengths, however, these evolutionary approaches fail to account adequately for the emergence of technical innovations---those innovations that reshape landscapes of possibility and expand the creative horizon for further innovations. This article argues that the theories and methodologies of contemporary industrial design open up a promising explanatory avenue for understanding technical innovation, thereby helping to overcome some of the limitations of evolutionary models of technological change

    LA CULTURA COMO ANDAMIO DE LA AGENCIA HUMANA

    No full text
    Se presenta un argumento en favor del papel activo de la cultura en el desarrollo de las capacidades agentes de los seres humanos. Esto se hace a través de una revisión del concepto tradicional de cultura, haciendo referencia a las críticas de algunos antropólogos de no concederle al entorno técnico material un papel central para el mantenimiento y la durabilidad de las prácticas culturales. Para el argumento se utilizan las ideas de la cognición extendida, embebida, extendida y enactiva (4E) con el fin de justificar por qué la agencia humana no es simple acción causal, sino que está relacionada con la experiencia de logro y libertad. Creemos que esto se debe, en parte, a que está apoyada en un entorno enriquecido de andamios culturales. En este sentido, la cultura se puede entender como un «nicho ecológico» en el cual los grupos humanos desarrollamos nuestras prácticas y capacidades más distintivas

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Una Concepción Enactiva de Cultura: Enculturación como Acople Dinámico entre Seres Humanos y sus Entornos de Cultura Material

    Full text link
    Some traditional conceptions of culture tend to consider it as a repository of abstract representations (information or knowledge) while others consider it a set of symbolic mechanisms for controlling behavior. Both conceptions assume that the contents of culture are processed or internalized by the minds of individuals, either in a more or less direct way or by resorting to mental structures learned in processes of symbolic socialization. Embodied theories of cognition, especially enactivism, question these ideas by not clarifying how these enculturation processes take place. It is argued that culture should be considered beyond its results (knowledge, beliefs, values, customs, laws, etc.) and understood as a set of significant practices in which their enculturation processes are given by the dynamic coupling relationship between human agents and their material culture environments, through participatory sense-making. It is discussed if this idea of presenting culture from an enactive point of view can lead to biological reductionism, as well as how enactivism could be related to close approaches such as ecological psychology.Algunas concepciones tradicionales de cultura suelen considerarla como un depósito de representaciones abstractas (información o conocimiento) mientras que otras la consideran un conjunto de mecanismos simbólicos de control de la conducta. Ambas concepciones suponen que los contenidos de la cultura son procesados o interiorizados por las mentes de los individuos, ya sea de una manera más o menos directa, o recurriendo a las estructuras mentales aprendidas en procesos de socialización simbólica. Las teorías corporizadas de la cognición, en especial el enactivismo, cuestionan estas ideas al no formular claridades sobre cómo se dan estos procesos de enculturación. Se defiende la idea de que la cultura debería ser considerada más allá de sus resultados (conocimientos, creencias, valores, costumbres, leyes, etc.) y comprenderla como un conjunto de prácticas significativas en los que sus procesos de enculturación se dan por el acople dinámico entre los agentes humanos y sus entornos de cultura material, a través de la búsqueda de sentido participativa. Se discute si esta idea de presentar la cultura desde un punto de vista enactivo puede llevar a un reduccionismo biologicista, así como también de qué manera podría relacionarse el enactivismo con enfoques cercanos como la psicología ecológica

    A Critique of Kurzweil\u27s Cybernetic-Computational Transhumanism from the Enactive Approach to Cognition

    Full text link
    El transhumanismo es una idea que aspira a superar las limitaciones biológicas humanas mediante tecnologías biomédicas, cibernéticas y computacionales. En particular, el transhumanismo cibernético-computacional sugiere transferir la mente a un soporte inorgánico, desligando así la vida humana de su forma física biológica. Raymond Kurzweil, uno de los principales defensores de esta idea, describe la mente humana como una emergencia del cerebro, especialmente del neocórtex, que procesa información a través de reconocimiento de patrones. No obstante, esta idea choca con la perspectiva enactiva de la cognición, que sostiene que la mente se extiende por todo el cuerpo y se reconstruye mediante la interacción continua con el entorno. En ese sentido, la mente no puede reducirse a patrones de información, por lo tanto, si el enactivismo tiene razón, la replicación y descarga de la mente en un soporte artificial sería ontológicamente inviable.Transhumanism is a concept that seeks to transcend human biological limitations through biomedical, cybernetic, and computational technologies. Specifically, cybernetic-computational transhumanism proposes transferring the mind to an inorganic support, thereby detaching human life from its biological physical form. Raymond Kurzweil, one of the foremost proponents of this idea, describes the human mind as an emergence from the brain, particularly from the neocortex, which processes information through pattern recognition. However, this concept conflicts with the enactive perspective of cognition, which argues that the mind extends throughout the body and is continuously reconstructed through ongoing interaction with the environment. In this view, the mind cannot be reduced to information patterns; therefore, if enactivism is correct, the replication and downloading of the mind onto an artificial support would be ontologically untenable

    Variations on the Author

    “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
