Este artículo se enfoca en las concepciones y prácticas de adopción entre algunos amerindios de Sudamérica. Se propone abordarlas en el horizonte de una de las vertientes teóricas del posestructuralismo antropológico, el multinaturalismo y perspectivismo amerindios, a partir de la cual se enfatiza la importancia de reflexionar considerando sus ontologías y cosmologías. Para lograrlo se realizan algunas comparaciones que muestran ciertas similitudes y diferencias culturales con relación al tema de la adopción, y se resalta que la pragmática suele ser aplicada para establecer las conexiones que la involucran con el habla, la ontología, la cosmología, la economía, la política, el parentesco. Se revelan así, las relaciones que envuelven y aproximan a las personas por medio de las adopciones, y cómo se rigen por la reciprocidad, actualizando la solidaridad relativa al parentesco, teniendo relevancia en la formación de los grupos residenciales, en el ámbito sociopolítico, en la revitalización de ontologías y cosmologías, y en la reproducción de las condiciones de existencia, de formas de ser. Se recalca que, muchas veces tales adopciones generan conflictos, sufrimientos, reproducción de prejuicios y desvinculación de las personas de sus familias y hasta de sus culturas, entretanto, no siempre se reivindica junto a los Estados Nación su reconocimiento formal, es decir, el tema no está presente en las legislaciones que tratan de los derechos indígenas en los países. ; This article focuses on the conceptions and practices of adoption among some Amerindians of South America. It is proposed to address them within the horizon of one of the theoretical aspects of anthropological poststructuralism, Amerindian multinaturalism and perspectivism, from which the importance of reflecting considering their ontologies and cosmologies is emphasized. To achieve this, some comparisons that show certain similarities and cultural differences in relation to the issue of adoptionare made, and it is highlighted that pragmatics can be applied to establish the connections that involve it with speech, ontology, cosmology, economics, politics, kinship . Thus, the relationships that involve and bring people together through adoptions are revealed, and how they are ruled by reciprocity, updating the solidarity related to kinship, having relevance in the formation of residential groups, in the socio-political sphere, in the revitalization of ontologies and cosmologies, and in the reproduction of conditions of existence, of ways of being. It is emphasized that, many times such adoptions generate conflicts, suffering, reproduction of prejudices and separation of people from their families and even from their cultures, however, their formal recognition is not always acknowledged by the Nation States, that is, the issue is not present in the legislations that deal with indigenous rights in the countries. ; 951-983 ; alexandronamem@hotmail.com ; Trimestral ; www.saber.ula.ve/fermentum

Aquest article proposa les línies principals per a una comprensió d'una pedagogia de la diferència fonamentada en la noció d'allò monstruós tal i com queda apuntada en la fenomenologia de M. Merleau-Ponty i J.L. Marion, en diàleg amb la mateixa noció heretada de la tradició post-estructuralista foucaltiana. Abans de la construcció de la monstruositat per mitjà del llenguatge, entès com una tecnologia al servei del poder polític segons el post-estructuralisme, trobem una monstruositat prèvia i original –«fractura» [«effraction»] de la iconicitat del cos– que és el fonament del coneixement, de l'expressió i de l'acceptació de la diversitat. Sense ella la monstruositat i la seva denuncia serien inintel•ligibles.____________________________________________________________________Cet article propose les lignes principales pour la compréhension d'une pédagogie de la différence fondée sur la notion de ce qui est monstrueux comme il est indiqué dans la phénoménologie de M. Merleau-Ponty et J. L. Marion, en dialogue avec la même notion héritée de la tradition poststructuraliste de Foucault. Avant la construction de la monstruosité au moyen du langage, compris comme une technologie au service du pouvoir politique selon le poststructuralisme, on trouve une monstruosité préalable et originale –«fracture» («effraction») de l'iconicité du corps– qui est le fondement de la connaissance, de l'expression et de l'acceptation de la diversité. Sans elle, la monstruosité et sa dénonciation seraient inintelligibles. ; This paper sets out the main strands of a pedagogy of difference founded on the notion of the monstrous as it appears in the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Jean-Luc Marion, in dialogue with the same notion inherited from the Foucauldian post-structuralist tradition. Before monstrosity was constructed through language, understood by post-structuralism as a technology serving political power, we find an earlier, original monstrosity –a «fracturing» [«effraction»] of the iconicity of the body– which is the cornerstone of the knowledge, expression and acceptance of diversity. Without it, monstrosity and its condemnation would be incomprehensible. ; Este artículo propone las líneas principales para una comprensión de una pedagogía de la diferencia fundada en la noción de lo monstruoso que se apunta en la fenomenología de M. Merleau-Ponty y J.L. Marion, en diálogo con la noción de lo monstruoso tal y como se ha heredado desde la tradición post-estructuralista foucaultiana. Con anterioridad a la construcción de la monstruosidad por medio del lenguaje, entendido como tecnología al servicio del poder según el post-estructuralismo, encontramos una monstruosidad previa y original –«fractura» [«effraction»] de la iconicidad del cuerpo– que es fundamento del conocimiento, de la expresión y de la aceptación de la diversidad. Sin ella sería ininteligible la monstruosidad y su denuncia.

Le 6 décembre 2008, Alexandros Grigoropoulos, un élève de 15 ans, est atteint mortellement par les tirs de deux policiers au centre du quartier gauchiste d'Athènes, Exarchia. Les émeutes qui suivirent, en réaction à ce brutal assassinat, ont marqué l'histoire politique récente de la Grèce. Des gens d'horizons différents ont partagé un même enthousiasme pour ce « soulèvement » en allant manifester dans les rues. Il n'en reste pas moins que dans le cadre du mouvement anarchiste/anti-autoritaire, au sens le plus large, certaines voix se sont élevées pour dénoncer le sexisme et l'attitude patriarcale que certains camarades masculins ont reproduite à cette occasion. De telles prises de position provoquent une série de questions concernant l'ensemble du mouvement et ses stratégies, éclairant des problèmes comme ceux de la violence, des comportements de genre et du masculinisme. Dans cet article, j'analyse le discours que développent ces militants, soit spontanément, soit collectivement. Les critiques couvrent un large éventail de questions, telles que celle des slogans criés à la face des policiers, celle de l'usage de la violence contre les agents et les institutions de l'État, ou celle de l'articulation de multiples identités sur un seul corps. L'analyse s'appuie principalement sur quatre sources écrites et, secondairement, sur diverses sources universitaires et journalistiques, ainsi que sur quatre entretiens conduits, à Athènes, en décembre 2010. Trois des sources écrites ont circulé à Athènes en Décembre 2008 et, par la suite, sous forme de tracts et de posters, mais on peut les trouver sur internet en grec ainsi qu'en anglais pour certaines d'entre elles. La quatrième est une analyse de genre des émeutes produite par un collectif anarcho-autonome de Thessalonique, écrite en anglais et publiée sur leur site web en décembre 2010. Ces sources présentent un intérêt particulier car elles explorent et analysent de l'intérieur les relations de genre entre des militants venant d'un même espace politique. Un point commun à toutes ces sources est l'usage fréquent de concepts tels que ceux de sexisme et de patriarcat. Dans mon article, j'adopte les outils théoriques et les principes méthodologiques qui sont associés au poststructuralisme. J'essaie de voir comment les concepts utilisés sont compris par ceux qui produisent les discours. Mais, en même temps, je m'attache à examiner comment moi-même j'interprète ces significations. Me sentant en solidarité avec nombre des revendications des militants, je suggère que d'autres interprétations des textes, fondées sur des concepts tels que ceux de masculinités hégémoniques ou d'intersectionnalité sont susceptibles de soulever d'autres questions et critiques à propos du mouvement dans son sens plus large et du futur des relations de genre en son sein.

Since the last three decades of the past century, the contributions of poststructuralism, postmodernism, postcolonialism, feminism, as well as those of culturalstudies and the new studies in translation, have brought into question and radically transformed concepts such as nation, culture and identity, long considered monolithic and universal, thus giving rise to multiculturalism and the affirmation of specific identities—national, sexual, ethnic, regional—based on the notions of otherness and difference. Likewise, the phenomenon of globalization, in spite of itshegemonic effects, has drastically transformed the old metropolitan/colony, center/periphery, north/south dichotomies. As a result of these transformations, the colonized, marginal or minority groups set out to construct an identity or cultural representation of their own which had been silenced or distorted by the dominant culture. Such is the case of Ireland and Scotland, nations which forcenturies have been subject, in different modalities, to English domination. The struggles for autonomy or independence, as well as their attempts at constructinga political and cultural identity distinct from the English, have been constant throughout their history, particularly from the end of the XIX century to the present. In this article I intend to examine the poetic work of some Irish and Scottish poets, both men and women, born in the last century, who reflect these concerns in their writing. ; Desde los años setentas del siglo pasado, las aportaciones del postestructuralismo, el posmodernismo, el poscolonialismo, el feminismo, así como de los estudiosculturales y los nuevos estudios de traducción, han contribuido a cuestionar y a cambiar conceptos que se creían monolíticos y universales, tales como nación, cultura e identidad, dando lugar al multiculturalismo y a la afirmación de identidades específicas —nacionales, sexuales, étnicas, regionales— a partir de las nociones de otredad y diferencia. Asimismo, el fenómeno de la globalización, a pesar de su carácter hegemónico, transformó drásticamente las antiguas dicotomías como metrópoli/colonia, centro/periferia, norte/sur. Como resultado de estas transformaciones, los grupos colonizados, marginales o minoritarios se propusieron construir una identidad o representación cultural propia que había sido silenciada o distorsionada por la cultura dominante. Es el caso de Irlanda y Escocia,naciones que, con modalidades diferentes, han sufrido durante siglos la dominación inglesa. Las luchas por su autonomía o su independencia, así como sus intentos por construir una identidad política y cultural distinta a la inglesa, han sido una constante a lo largo de su historia, particularmente desde fines del siglo XIX a la fecha. En este artículo me propongo examinar la creación poética de algunos poetas irlandeses y escoceses, hombres y mujeres, nacidos en el siglo pasado, que reflejan estas preocupaciones en su práctica de escritura.

The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to expose Castoriadis' poïetical and institutional answer to the following question: how can we constitute a practical universality in a postmetaphysical context. Starting with a definition of political philosophy as the progressive and institutional objectification of reason, I first show how the modern radical critic of metaphysical thoughts and the modern emergence of a procedural conception of reason were both problematic for political philosophy. The thesis is then divided into two parts. The first part is devoted to Castoriadis' philosophy and presents his own critics of metaphysical thinking, his ontology and his theory of knowledge. I then follow the interpretative thesis according to which Castoriadis' philosophy can be characterized as an ''ontopoïetical pluralistic constructivism'' The second part is about his conception of practical reason, which I interpret as a "postmetaphysical institutionalism". I conclude by showing that Castoriadis offers not only new mediations between politics and philosophy but also an original conception of practical universality in the history of political philosophy. Using a comparative method, I put forward Castoriadis' thoughts through a comparison with other philosophies that share common problems and thesis, e.g. the Hegelian-Marxian tradition and the philosophies of difference. ; L'objet de cette thèse doctorale est la réponse poïétique et institutionnaliste offerte par Castoriadis au problème de la constitution d'une universalité pratique dans un contexte post-métaphysique.

The article shows that the concept of social capitalization strategies allows for a greater understanding of the theory of social fields developed by Pierre Bourdieu. The first section provides a synthesis of the main concepts, guided by the principle of charitable interpretation: social field, habitus, social capital, social reproduction strategies. On this basis, we discuss three critiques to that theory: its "domino-centrism", the limitations of the notion of social field, and the alleged determinism of habitus. We also make a couple of observations regarding these critiques: the importance of maintaining a normative perspective of liberation and of distinguishing degrees of social agents' belonging to the field. The second section introduces the theoretical conditions of possibility of the concept of social capitalization strategies: a) the multiple ways in which agents belong to social fields, b) the relation of interpenetration among capitals of different fields, and c) the process of accumulation of capital. Thus, social capitalization strategies are defined as the interventions of a dominant social agent (and its capital) in a field —to which it belongs to a lesser extent— from which it extracts enough returns to be able to vie for symbolic power within the field and even try to change its rules of operation. The proposed concept functions as an explanatory principle for the relations between dominant agents and social fields, a matter which Bourdieu did not delve into with clarity, in order to understand the dynamics of domination. Finally, the article describes the articulation of social capitalization strategies with the field of power, that space in which dominant agents and capitals vie for the general definition of the nomos of social space, thus instrumentalizing the State. The final part includes the example of courts of justice in order to illustrate the manner in which social strategies of capitalization work. ; El artículo muestra que el concepto de estrategias sociales de capitalización permite una mayor comprensión de la teoría de los campos sociales elaborada por Pierre Bourdieu. En la primera parte se presenta una síntesis de los conceptos más importantes con base en el principio de caridad interpretativa: campo social, habitus, capital social, estrategias sociales de reproducción. A partir de estos elementos, se discuten tres críticas a dicha teoría: su "dominocentrismo", los límites de la noción de campo social y el supuesto determinismo del habitus. Así mismo, se plantean dos precisiones para hacer frente a las críticas: mantener una perspectiva normativa de liberación y hacer distinciones de grado respecto a la pertenencia de los agentes sociales al campo. En la segunda parte se introducen las condiciones teóricas de posibilidad del concepto de estrategias sociales de capitalización: a) la pertenencia múltiple de los agentes a los campos sociales, b) la relación de interpenetración entre capitales de distintos campos y c) el proceso de acumulación de capital. De ese modo, las estrategias sociales de capitalización se definen como aquellas intervenciones de un agente social dominante (y su capital) en un campo —al que pertenece en menor grado— del cual extrae el rédito suficiente para disputarse el poder simbólico dentro de este, incluso, intentar cambiar sus reglas de funcionamiento. El concepto propuesto funge como principio de explicación de las relaciones entre agentes dominantes y campos sociales, en las que el propio Bourdieu no ahondó con claridad, para comprender la dinámica de la dominación. Finalmente, se describe la articulación de las estrategias sociales de capitalización con el campo del poder, aquel espacio en el que agentes y capitales dominantes se disputan la definición general del nomos del espacio social, que instrumentaliza al Estado. En la parte final, se incluye el ejemplo de las cortes de justicia para mostrar la forma en que operan las estrategias sociales de capitalización. ; Este artigo mostra que o conceito de estratégias sociais de capitalização permite uma maior compreensão da teoria dos campos sociais elaborada por Pierre Bourdieu.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the sociological work of famous researchers — Ann Oakley, Donna Haraway, Shulamit Firestone and Judith Butler, who worked within the framework of the feminist paradigm in sociology, which interprets social phenomena and processes from a femininocentric point of view. The work of these women sociologists has become a kind of intellectual manifesto — a written statement of the scientific principles of the feminist trend in sociology, based on the belief in the constant discrimination of women in all spheres of social life.Ie author analyzes the works of a bright representative of the liberal-reformist trend in feminism, Ann Oakley, whose scientific work is divided into four areas: "sex and gender", "domestic work and family life", "childbirth and medicine" and "sociology proper". Exactly E. Oakley is considered the ancestor of the concept of "gender" in sociology. She divorced the concepts of "gender" (gender) as an unshakable biological attribute and as a cultural determinant that determines the conceptualization of "masculinity" and "femininity".The article pays enough attention to one of the founders of cyberfeminism — a trend in modern feminist thought associated with the study of cyberspace, the Internet and information technology — Donna Jean Haraway, whose greatest fame was brought by the "cyborg theory". A cyborg is a being whose borderline position at the intersection of the boundaries between nature and culture, body and mind, sex and gender, fact and fiction, serves as an argument for denying biological sex as a determinant of gender inequality in culture and society.A significant place in the article is occupied by the figure of Shulamit Firestone, one of the founders of radical feminism. Her works, based on the fusion of ideas borrowed from Marxism, feminism and psychoanalysis, carried out a subtle scientific analysis that allowed linking the structures of gender inequality and economic stratification, as well as environmental degradation and the policy of scientific knowledge. In a style that later became a hallmark of feminist works of the 1970s, Sh. Firestone showed clear and internal links between the generally accepted expression of heterosexuality, "forced femininity" and the institutionalization of gender inequality.At the end of the article, the author turns to the work of Judith Butler, a representative of poststructuralism, a specialist in the Jeld of phenomenology and theory of gender, who opposes the existentialist vision of the problems of personality and being, culture and general human physiology, the interdependence between gender and sexual relations.In general, the works of modern theorists of sociology and at the same time feminist sociologists have set new fields of sociological search, these feminist sociologists call for the construction of a new model of society, up to the establishment of a "new gender order" at the macro and micro levels of social life.

Since the last three decades of the past century, the contributions of poststructuralism, postmodernism, postcolonialism, feminism, as well as those of cultural studies and the new studies in translation, have brought into question and radically transformed such concepts as nation, culture and identity, long considered monolithic and universal, thus giving rise to multiculturalism and the affirmation of specific identities—national, sexual, ethnic, regional—based on the notions of otherness and difference. Likewise, the phenomenon of globalization, in spite of its hegemonic effects, has drastically transformed the old metropolitan/colony, center/periphery, north/south dichotomies. As a result of these transformations, the colonized, marginal or minority groups set out to construct an identity or cultural representation of their own which had been silenced or distorted by the dominant culture.

This article reviews some new international releases in the field of discourse analysis in the tradition of Michel FOUCAULT. This kind of Foucauldian discourse analysis is related to other forms in the wider interdisciplinary field of discourse analysis. Nonetheless, it can be demonstrated that the Foucauldian form of discourse analysis is the most relevant one for contemporary analysis in the social sciences. It is argued that in the German social sciences the term "discourse analysis" is primarily used for theoretical social research or is used for empirical social research, without disclosing discourse-analytic methodology. Since the 1990s, the development of empirical methodologies for social discourse analysis in Germany has intensified. From it's beginning in the late 1960s, French methodology of discourse analysis has been empirically orientated. Here, the work of Michel PÊCHEUX is the central influence in which the epistemology of discourse analysis is thoroughly discussed and theorized. In France, PÊCHEUX continued the work of Michel FOUCAULT and, since then, one can speak of a Foucauldian tradition of discourse analysis, namely "French Discourse Analysis" (FDA). This review outlines the state-of-the-art of the transformation of Foucauldian discourse theory into a discourse-analytic methodology as a new kind of qualitative social research. For this reason, the influence and the analytic tools of linguistics are critically reviewed and a comparison of FDA in France and Foucauldian discourse analysis in Germany is undertaken. The first book reviewed is a British monograph from Glyn WILLIAMS that describes the development of French discourse analysis in the context of structuralism and poststructuralism. The book contains a thorough update of French discourse analysis and is path breaking for German readers of the discourse-analytic work of Michel PÊCHEUX. The volume comes on the heels of a new German handbook of social discourse analysis (edited by KELLER; HIRSELAND, SCHNEIDER & VIEHÖVER) that continues the thread with additional articles on theory and methodology, mostly in the field of (German) Foucauldian discourse analysis. This handbook presents a collection of articles by the most influential researchers in this field and it can be regarded as representing the state-of-the-art in the German field of discourse analysis. Next, a selection of several articles related to discourse theory from an interdisciplinary conference is reviewed. The content of these papers is mainly the social theory of discourse, not discourse analytic methodology. Following this, a new and clearly written French dictionary, edited by CHARAUDEAU and MAINGUENEAU, is reviewed. It is not only the first dictionary of the French vocabulary (mainly) of FDA, but also very useful for German social research on discourse. Finally, the latest release in this field is a new and very instructive introduction to the field of social research on discourse from KELLER. This book will be very useful not only for beginners - it contains a systematic overview of the research field and discusses strategies for further discourse-analytic research.

**FINALIST, 2022 PROSE Award in Theology & Religious Studies**An innovative exploration of religion's influence on communication networksWhen Samuel Morse sent the words "what hath God wrought" from the US Supreme Court to Baltimore in mere minutes, it was the first public demonstration of words travelling faster than human beings and farther than a line of sight in the US. This strange confluence of media, religion, technology, and US nationhood lies at the foundation of global networks.The advent of a telegraph cable crossing the Atlantic Ocean was viewed much the way the internet is today, to herald a coming world-wide unification. President Buchanan declared that the Atlantic Telegraph would be "an instrument destined by divine providence to diffuse religion, civilization, liberty, and law throughout the world" through which "the nations of Christendom [would] spontaneously unite." Evangelical Protestantism embraced the new technology as indicating God's support for their work to Christianize the globe. Public figures in the US imagined this new communication technology in primarily religious terms as offering the means to unite the world and inspire peaceful relations among nations. Religious utopianists saw the telegraph as the dawn of a perfect future.Religious framing thus dominated the interpretation of the technology's possibilities, forging an imaginary of networks as connective, so much so that connection is now fundamental to the idea of networks. In reality, however, networks are marked, at core, by disconnection. With lively historical sources and an accessible engagement with critical theory, When the Medium was the Mission tells the story of how connection was made into the fundamental promise of networks, illuminating the power of public Protestantism in the first network imaginaries, which continue to resonate today in false expectations of connection
