El siguiente artículo reflexiona acerca de las dificultades que encuentran los estudiantes universitarios en el final de su formación de grado a la hora de enfrentarse con la escritura de sus trabajos ...finales; sus miedos, sus incertidumbres, el fin de su ciclo estudiantil para adentrarse al campo profesional. Estas ideas resultan de la síntesis de la labor realizada a modo de sistematización y reflexión llevada adelante desde la Dirección de Grado de la Facultad de Periodismo y Comunicación Social de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, y articulando con otras áreas y con espacios curriculares de la institución desde el 2016 a la fecha, estableciendo rupturas y continuidades en los procesos de finalización de carrera de acuerdo a las distintas contextualidades que ha atravesado el país. Una escritura que, en ocasiones, está desvinculada de sus trayectorias curriculares y/o las instituciones no lo tienen en cuenta y no desarrollan estrategias o espacios para la contención de esa situación, entendiendo que la lectura y escritura son prácticas sociales que en la universidad requieren una determinada alfabetización académica y debe ser acompañada y enseñada.A través de un relevamiento de experiencias y relatos de estudiantes acerca de cómo ha sido su experiencia de finalización, esboza algunos puntos esenciales sobre lo que implica un trabajo integrador final de carrera y qué se debe considerar para su escritura.

Este artículo analiza la enseñanza en escuelas medias de Ciudad de Buenos Aires y Ciudad de México en pandemia. Más allá de algunas diferencias, como la mayor creación de contenidos televisivos en ...México y el mayor apoyo de centros estudiantiles y entrega de netbooks en Argentina, nos centramos en las similitudes: fue dificultoso reproducir el dispositivo escolar, dado que la descorporalización digital provocó dispersión y menor afiliación institucional. Esto devino en problemas de aprendizaje y deserción, en particular en estudiantes de menores recursos. Se incrementaron los problemas de salud, en particular el estrés. Asimismo, el principal déficit tecnológico fue la escasez de wifi. Como efectos beneficiosos, quedó más habilitado el uso de tecnologías y el desarrollo de formatos digitales acercaron la escuela al estudiantado; se adquirió mayor autonomía para resolver tareas, disminuyeron los costos de traslado y se aceleró el proceso de tecnologización que reclamaba parte de la comunidad educativa.
Abstract
Even as a growing body of literature has in recent years revealed the ubiquity of racialized violence within Western colonies in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, another historical ...narrative remains insistent that the British Empire constituted a notable exception to the rule. This nostalgic narrative of a uniquely British ‘soft approach’ rests in part on the belief that colonial officers possessed a deep cultural understanding of the people and societies they dealt with, which allowed them to manoeuvre skilfully throughout the Empire without having to resort to the sort of atrocities that characterized German and Belgian colonies in Africa. The result is an implicitly sanitized account of the British Empire and of British military practice as exemplary and even humane. This article critically examines those assumptions, focusing in particular on the cultural knowledge that was weaponized during colonial conflicts in the decades preceding the First World War. The forms and functions of what became known as ‘savage warfare’ were not simply shaped by the tactical necessities of asymmetric fighting in the peripheries of Empire. Colonial military violence and the development of new technologies, such as the expanding Dum-Dum bullet, were based on deeply encoded assumptions concerning the inherent difference of local opponents and as such were underwritten by both imperial ideologies and a specific body of colonial expertise. The rule of colonial difference dictated and justified techniques of violence that were by the same token considered unacceptable in conflicts between so-called ‘civilized’ nations and, in many instances, slaughter was in fact the ‘British Way’ – in theory and in practice.
RESUMO Neste artigo, analisamos a resposta do stf aos processos que questionaram os ataques à Constituição ocorridos durante o governo de Jair Bolsonaro (2019-22), em sua rapidez e conteúdo. Os dados ...revelam que, após uma primeira etapa marcada por uma retórica mais conciliadora, o STF passou a se mostrar cada vez mais disposto a controlar atos do governo. Quanto mais Bolsonaro intensificava seus ataques, mais responsivo se mostrava o STF.
El presente trabajo se desarrolla desde el campo de las teorías de la educación con el objetivo de poner en debate postulados de Jean Jacques Rousseau que impregnaron las bases de la educación ...moderna y mantienen su vigencia entre las principales tareas de la educación institucionalizada.La formación de trabajadores y ciudadanos tiene su origen en la crítica a las desigualdades del Estado absolutista y su permanencia entre los mandatos de la educación no puede escindirse de las actuales relaciones sociales. El artículo indaga en diversas obras del filósofo francés, con especial atención en su lectura de Robinson Crusoe, con el objetivo de reflexionar sobre la relación entre igualdad política y desigualdad material desde las concepciones de trabajo y propiedad privada que forman parte de la teoría rousseauniana y guardan, asimismo, una estrecha relación con la formación del sujeto virtuoso que demandaba su propuesta de contrato social.
How might we reinvent the humanities? This is the question at the heart of this provocative volume. It is a difficult mission and definitely one which needs to be addressed with increasing urgency. ...There is no better cast to confront and problematize this question than the contributors to Conflicting Humanities. They are world-renowned thinkers who can tackle the problem as researchers and teachers but also as prominent public intellectuals. Taking the intellectual and political legacies of Edward Said as a point of departure and frame of reference, the contributors – working in a range of disciplinary settings – consider the current condition of humanism and the humanities. Said's definition of the core task of the Humanities as the pursuit of democratic criticism remains more urgent than ever, though it needs to be supplemented by gender, environmental, and anti-racist perspectives as well as by detailed analysis of the necro-political governmentality of our time. An innovative piece of scholarship, this volume is committed to the refusal of a world riven by new kinds of warcraft, injustice and exploitation.
Abstract
During a pandemic, news media play a crucial role in communicating public health and policy information. Traditional newspaper coverage is important amidst increasing disinformation, yet ...uncertainties make covering health risks and efforts to limit transmission difficult. This study assesses print and online newspaper coverage of the coronavirus disease COVID-19 for March 2020, when the global pandemic was declared, through August 2020 in three countries: Canada (with the lowest per-capita case and death rates during the study timeframe), the United Kingdom (with a pronounced early spike), and the United States (with persistently high rates). Tools previously validated for pandemic-related news records allow measurement of multiple indicators of scientific quality (i.e., reporting that reflects the state of scientific knowledge) and of sensationalism (i.e., strategies rendering news as more extraordinary than it really is). COVID-19 reporting had moderate scientific quality and low sensationalism across 1331 sampled articles in twelve newspapers spanning the political spectrums of the three countries. Newspapers oriented towards the populist-right had the lowest scientific quality in reporting, combined with very low sensationalism in some cases. Against a backdrop of world-leading disease rates, U.S. newspapers on the political left had more exposing coverage, e.g., focused on policy failures or misinformation, and more warning coverage, e.g., focused on the risks of the disease, compared to U.S. newspapers on the political right. Despite the generally assumed benefits of low sensationalism, pandemic-related coverage with low scientific quality that also failed to alert readers to public-health risks, misinformation, or policy failures may have exacerbated the public-health effects of the disease. Such complexities will likely remain central for both pandemic news media reporting and public-health strategies reliant upon it.
