Testing Theories of Labor Rights and Development
Authors: Meyer William H.
Published: May 2015

Recent efforts by Western economic powers to bring labor standards under the authority of the World Trade Organization (WTO) have been opposed by the global South. Prior research has produced conflicting evidence on whether curtailment of labor rights promotes or hinders rapid economic development. This article presents a summary of the relevant policy debates, especially those at the WTO. I also summarize opposing theories that posit restriction of labor rights as either promoting or hindering rapid development. After a review of prior quantitative studies, I present my own novel approach to testing theories of labor rights and development. My conclusion summarizes the implications of the test results for the policy debates and presents a model that could serve to advance the WTO social clause agenda.
From Resistance to Counterstate: The Making of Revolutionary Power in the Liberated Zones of Occupied Greece, 1943–1944
Authors: Skalidakis Yannis
Published: May 2015

By the summer of 1943, the armed resistance forces had liberated a vast area in mainland Greece from the Axis occupation. The liberated zones, known thence as Free Greece and inhabited by over a million people, were organized as a counterstate at war with the occupiers in the rest of the country. This gradual formation of a unified liberated territory needed a form of government. In this context, a de facto revolutionary power emerged in the form of the Political Committee of National Liberation (PEEA) in March 1944. This form of power was the outcome and combination of a series of precedent forms of authority in the Greek Resistance, both military and political. Until the liberation of the country in the fall of 1944, the PEEA was the real government in most of the countryside, having issued a series of laws and resolutions and having constituted an impressive administrative mechanism.
Introduction Modern Greek Studies and Public Scholarship: Intersections and Prospects
Authors: Anagnostou Yiorgos
Published: May 2015

The interest of American universities in public scholarship, expressed as collaborative work between scholars in the humanities and social sciences with nonacademic publics, creates a new context to situate the public involvement of Modern Greek Studies in the United States. A field whose history is integrally connected with community crossovers, Greek studies has nevertheless refrained from reflecting on scholarly interfaces with publics beyond the campus. This essay probes this reticence. Moreover, it points to the value of the academy’s participation in collaborative public scholarship as a context to reflect on issues that Modern Greek Studies grapples with but does not always adequately settle: from its relationship with nonacademic publics in the United States, Greece, and elsewhere to critical pedagogies in the classroom, and from its reliance on private funds to the place of transnational studies in Modern Greek programs. Finally, the discussion explores intersections of public scholarship and Modern Greek Studies in the United States, locating challenges and prospects, introducing key issues, identifying emergent developments, and posing questions to foster further conversation.
Modern Athens: Illuminating the “Shadows of the Ancestors”
Authors: Giannakopoulou Georgia
Published: May 2015

This essay introduces part of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century debate regarding the demolition of nonclassical monuments from the Acropolis and explores the interrelations between such practices of social reconstruction of the past and the nineteenth-century transformation of the contest between the ancients and the moderns. The essay suggests that the demolition of what became known as the Frankish Tower by the Propylaea of the Acropolis of Athens concealed a false contest between post-Enlightenment modernity and Greek antiquity. Focusing on celebrations and critiques of the purist approach to the past during this period, the essay ultimately highlights critical reactions to metropolitan modernity’s disdain for the old as opposed to an idealized image of the classical.
Public Scholarship and Greek America: Personal Reflections, Intellectual Vocations
Authors: Anagnostou Yiorgos
Published: May 2015

This essay explores Modern Greek Studies as public scholarship from the angle of Greek American cultural studies. The author’s intellectual biography serves as a departure point to situate Modern Greek Studies as an organic location from which to empower Greek American studies. The dimension of public engagement comes into view through the following question: What is the place of cultural critique in the context of collaborative public engagement? The discussion identifies a range of possibilities for public collaboration and reflects on their respective implications. This work aims not only to explicate prospects of public scholarship for Modern Greek Studies, but also make a case in this context for the intellectual importance of Greek America as a subject intertwined with Modern Greek Studies.
Who Gets Translated and Why?: Anthologies of Twentieth-Century Greek Poetry in Poland
Authors: Kruczkowska Joanna
Published: May 2015

The translation of Modern Greek poetry in Poland began on a regular basis at the end of the 1960s and falls into two broad categories: anthologies and the poetry of Cavafy. Cavafy’s work in Polish rendition must be seen as a separate domain: as in other countries, he has overshadowed the achievements of other Modern Greek poets. There is, however, a significant body of work by other poets available to the reader of Polish in anthologies compiled by prolific and influential translators, whose different backgrounds and motivations generate the question of who has been translated and why. This article demonstrates that the selection of poems and modes of translation are largely driven by extraliterary factors such as sociopolitical conditions, the readership, the publishing market, and so forth. The resultant Polish texts therefore provide a characteristic example of “rewriting” as defined by André Lefevere.
The Academy in Crisis and Scholarship in the Public Sphere
Authors: Emmerich Karen
Published: May 2015

Growing out of a roundtable discussion on public scholarship at the Modern Greek Studies Association Symposium in 2013, this piece proposes the field of Modern Greek Studies as a cross-disciplinary forum that, as such, has the potential to engage a broader public even within the university setting, despite often being pigeonholed as an “area studies” field. Moreover, given the recent shift away from tenure-line hiring at American universities, public scholarship is becoming increasingly crucial to the intellectual life of our communities and of individual scholars who may or may not find or keep tenure-track jobs in the academy. It thus behooves us as a field to support the crossover work of academics engaging a broader public with their work, and as individuals to imagine ways of pursuing scholarship outside the institutional framework of the college or the university, while pushing back against the corporatization of the university in every way we can.
The Nation of Saints: The National Theological Rhetoric of Archbishop Makarios III (1913–1977)
Authors: Hadjipolycarpou Maria
Published: May 2015

Recent scholarship on postcolonial leadership includes the autobiographies of the founding fathers of such countries as Ghana, India, Zambia, and South Africa, as well as an island-state such as Singapore, which describe the process of producing citizens and leading their country into modernity. The use of first-person writings as an entry point to the discourse about how individual leaders affect the formation of the nation emphasizes the continued contribution of literature to the field of postcolonial studies. This article explores the origin of Greek Cypriot national identity through the highly personalized rhetoric of Archbishop Makarios from the beginning of his leadership as a bishop and throughout the years of his presidency of the Republic of Cyprus. The article suggests that Makarios should be seen as a postcolonial leader from a Mediterranean island who embodies the political views of previous eras, Byzantine and Ottoman, as well as modern and Western concepts of national sovereignty. In that sense, Cyprus becomes a paradigmatic hybrid Mediterranean nation in its foundations, a mixture of religion and secularism, of citizenship, of martyrdom and modernity.
Myths and the Academy: Greek Studies as a Form of Humanistic Enquiry
Authors: Ruprecht Louis A.
Published: May 2015

Greek tragedy was primarily interested in radical reversals as a site for hopeful and potentially redemptive personal and cultural transformations. I wish to argue that this provides a helpful ethical and political template for thinking about (1) Greek studies as an essential form of humanities in the context of an interrogation of the virtues of public scholarship; (2) the troubled place of the humanities in times of fiscal crisis; and (3) the humanities as a central site for new interdisciplinary initiatives at many colleges and universities. The challenge is to distinguish promise from pitfall in order to elevate the former and avoid the latter to the degree possible in the face of all-too-apparent contemporary fiscal constraints.
Surgical Ethics: Surgical Virtue and More
Authors: Vercler Christian J.
Published: May 2015

The encounter between a patient and her surgeon is unique for several reasons. The surgeon inflicts pain upon a patient for the patient’s own good. An operative intervention is irreducibly personal, such that the decisions about and performance of operations are inseparable from the idiosyncrasies of the individual surgeon. Furthermore, there is a chasm of knowledge between the patient and surgeon that is difficult to cross. Hence, training in the discipline of surgery includes the inculcation of certain virtues and practices to safeguard against abuses of this relationship and to make sure that the best interests of the patient are prioritized. The stories in this issue are evidence that in contemporary practice this is not quite enough, as surgeons reflect on instances they felt were ethically challenging. Common themes include the difficulty in communicating surgical uncertainty, patient–surgeon relationships, ethical issues in surgical training, and the impact of the technological imperative on caring for dying patients.
Confidentiality, Informed Consent, and Children’s Participation in Research Involving Stored Tissue Samples: Interviews with Medical Professionals from the Middle East
Authors: Alahmad Ghiath , Al Jumah Mohammed , Dierickx Kris
Published: May 2015

Ethical issues regarding research biobanks continue to be a topic of intense debate, especially issues of confidentiality, informed consent, and child participation. Although considerable empirical literature concerning research biobank ethics exists, very little information is available regarding the opinions of medical professionals doing genetics research from the Middle East, especially Arabic speaking countries. Ethical guidelines for research biobanks are critically needed as some countries in the Middle East are starting to establish national research biobanks. Islam is the dominant religion in these countries, and it affects people’s behavior and influences their positions. Moreover, communities in these countries enjoy a set of customs, traditions and social norms, and have social and familial structures that must be taken into account when developing research policies. We interviewed 12 medical professionals from the Middle East currently working with stored tissue samples to document their opinions. We found general agreement. Participants’ primary concerns were similar to the views of researchers internationally. Since children tend to represent a high percentage of Middle Eastern populations, and because children’s bodies are not just small adult bodies, the interviewed professionals strongly believed that it is imperative to include children in biobank research. Participants generally believed that protecting confidentiality is socially very important and that informed consent/assent must be obtained from both adult and child participants. This study provides a starting point for additional studies.
Caregivers’ Role in Maternal–Fetal Conflict
Authors: Avci Ercan
Published: May 2015

The case, which occurred in a public hospital in Turkey in 2005, exhibits a striking dilemma between a mother’s and her fetus’ interests. For a number of reasons, the mother refused to cooperate with the midwives and obstetrician in the process of giving birth, and wanted to leave the hospital. The care providers evaluated the case as a matter of maternal autonomy and asked the mother to give her consent to be discharged from the hospital, which she did despite the fact that her cervix was fully open. She left the hospital and gave birth shortly thereafter. Subsequently, the baby died two days later. In light of the contemporary ethical principles, the mother’s competency could be debatable due to the physical and psychological conditions the mother confronted. Furthermore, protection of the fetus’ life should have been taken into account by the caregivers when making a decision concerning discharging of the mother.
Physician, Know Thyself: The Role of Reflection in Bioethics and Professionalism Education
Authors: Wasson Katherine , Bading Eva , Hardt John , Hatchett Lena , Kuczewski Mark G. , McCarthy Michael , Michelfelder Aaron , Parsi Kayhan
Published: May 2015

Reflection in medical education is becoming more widespread. Drawing on our Jesuit Catholic heritage, the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine incorporates reflection in its formal curriculum and co–curricular programs. The aim of this type of reflection is to help students in their formation as they learn to step back and analyze their experiences in medical education and their impact on the student. Although reflection is incorporated through all four years of our undergraduate medical curriculum, this essay will focus on three areas where bioethics faculty and medical educators have purposefully integrated reflection in the medical school, specifically within our bioethics education and professional development efforts: 1) in our three–year longitudinal clinical skills course Patient Centered Medicine (PCM), 2) in our co–curricular Bioethics and Professionalism Honors Program, and 3) in our newly created Physician’s Vocation Program (PVP).
Making Ethical Decisions: Stories from Surgeons
Authors: DuBois James M. , Ilitis Ana S.
Published: May 2015

Surgeons share their challenges and dilemmas in making ethical decisions in these twelve personal stories. The three commentary articles draw out the lessons the stories address. The commentators come from diverse backgrounds including sociology, bioethics, nursing, and surgery.
Deciphering the Surgeons’ Stories
Authors: Fox Renée C.
Published: May 2015

Twelve narratives written by surgeons on ethical decision-making are analyzed in this commentary. Several major themes in their narratives are discussed: the preponderance of end-of-life issues; the struggle to be inclusively empathetic, even under emotionally alienating circumstances; social justice; and the disagreement among colleagues about how to deal with patients in situations of medical uncertainty. The commentary not only discusses the areas of stress that the surgeons identify in their accounts. It also highlights phenomena and themes that are missing from them, and calls for more work to be done gathering stories from surgeons to explore and explain the “gaps” in this narrative collection.
Surgical Medicine: Imperfect and Extraordinary
Authors: Grady Christine
Published: May 2015

The themes that emerge from these rich narratives by surgeons are familiar ones in the experiences of diverse health care providers. Questions about and difficulties with communication and with informed consent are common and troubling. Uncertainty was also a prevalent theme in these stories, uncertainty about the right thing to do or say and about how to treat the patients and families the surgeons wrote about. Uncertainty is a reality in medicine, and it is often said that medicine is an art, not just a science. Although in medicine it is uncommon to find a situation so black and white that the course of action is obvious, this may be less true in surgery. Surgeons are prototypically confident in their recommendations. Yet, these surgeons poignantly describe uncertainty. Sometimes the uncertainty leads to careful reflection, taking a stand, or changing practice, and sometimes it lead to moral distress.
ASL Skills, Fingerspelling Ability, Home Communication Context and Early Alphabetic Knowledge of Preschool-Aged Deaf Children
Authors: Allen Thomas E.
Published: May 2015

This article reports on a correlational study of language and home factors and their role in fostering the development of alphabetic knowledge among a national sample of 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old deaf children. A structural equation model was constructed and tested in an examination of the combined impacts of student age, finger-spelling ability, and receptive American Sign Language ability on the participants’ ability to write, say, or sign letters of the English alphabet. The resulting models explained more than half of the variance in letter-writing ability and revealed significant independent effects of all three variables. Additionally, ASL skill revealed noteworthy indirect effects through its impact on fingerspelling, emphasizing the importance of the combination of signing and fingerspelling as predictors of emergent literacy in young deaf children. A follow-up analysis examined the correlations between age and letter writing, as well as those between ASL skill and letter writing, separately for subgroups (defined by parental hearing status and the use of sign in the home). This analysis revealed strong associations between ASL skill and letter writing in signing deaf and hearing families but not in nonsigning hearing families, raising a concern that deaf children in families with no early exposure to a visual language may be at greater risk for delay in their emerging reading abilities.
Mediating Native Swedish Sign Language: First Language in Gestural Modality Interactions at Storytime
Authors: Cramér-Wolrath Emelie
Published: May 2015

This qualitative, longitudinal, single-case study analyzes naturalistic interactions in Swedish Sign Language. Multiple interactions took place mainly between a mother and a deaf twin on twelve occasions. The participants’ actions and language structure are examined as the child progressed from ten to forty months of age. The results are presented in three segments: transformations (i.e., types of actions during the sessions); gaze; and structure of utterances. The first segment (when the child was between ten and thirteen months of age) includes mediating utterances that contained a few signs with steady eye contact (i.e., focus on an object with mediating, displaced signing, as from the signer’s perspective). The second segment (when the child was between fifteen and twenty-four months of age) includes flexible eye contact, multiple phrases, and narrative structure. The third segment comprises conversations that include a dynamic visual contact utilizing nonmanual structures. Mediating factors such as simultaneous tactile looking, mediating vision, and mediating triangles, which may be useful for pedagogical purposes, are emphasized.
The Making of the Shillong Sign Language Multimedia Lexicon (ShSL MML)
Authors: Wallang Melissa G.
Published: May 2015

Despite the fact that Indian Sign Language (ISL) has a significant influence on the native signers in northeastern India, no studies of ISL have yet taken into account the nature of the sign languages in use in this region. This article examines the emergence of both Shillong Sign Language and the Deaf community of Shillong and discusses the development of the Shillong Sign Language Multimedia Lexicon (ShSL MML).
Errors and Feedback in the Beginner Auslan Classroom
Authors: Willoughby Louisa , Linder Stephanie , Ellis Kirsten , Fisher Julie
Published: May 2015

Although the literature on general characteristics of effective sign language teaching is growing, relatively few studies have looked in detail at classroom practices or classroom discourse. This article draws on detailed observations of six beginner Australian Sign Language (Auslan) classes and postclass interviews with the teachers in order to explore students’ errors and teacher feedback strategies. In line with prior experimental studies it shows errors of movement and handshape to be the most frequent type of mistakes and more phonologically complex signs to be especially prone to errors. Teachers expressed varied philosophies about error correction but were observed to correct mistakes at generally equal frequencies in their classes. The article closes by reflecting on the relationship between error-correction approaches and general teaching methods and suggests areas where the curriculum may benefit from reform.
On-Demand American Sign Language Interpreting Services: Social Policy Development in the Yukon
Authors: Breen Jonathon S.
Published: May 2015

In 2012, a two-year pilot project was implemented throughout the Yukon to provide free, on-demand professional American Sign Language (ASL/English) interpretation services to all members of the Deaf community. Following extensive community consultation, this project was developed to meet a growing concern that a denial of ASL interpretation services was limiting the ability of Deaf Yukoners to exercise their rights of citizenship. After eight months, the first project evaluation indicated enhanced communications in medical services, employment, and quality-of-life activities for a majority of Deaf community members in the Yukon.
Ovid in Augustan Tomis
Authors: Hendren T. George
Published: May 2015

Ovid enacts his own poetic biography in his letters from Tomis, with implications for his ostensibly fawning position towards the princeps . Ovidian seafaring language in Tristia 1 recreates the circumstances under which carmina led to relegatio , while his resurrection of the Hero and Leander myth ( Tr . 3.10 from Heroides 18 and 19) reflects the impossibility of his pre-exilic themes being continued in Tomis. Such a focus on the intersection between poetry and reality necessitates a reconsideration of Ovid’s Augustus, and renders the poet’s encomium at P . 4.13 a condemnation of the emperor as little more than a malus interpres .
Julian the (In)consistent: A Late Imperial Portrait
Authors: Fulkerson Laurel
Published: May 2015

In the modern world, we like our elected politicians to be consistent on the major issues, because we want to believe that we can know what to expect from them. The late antique Roman Empire was, obviously, a wholly different world, and nobody expected to predict an emperor’s behavior. Yet, in spite of the complex interplay between older tradition, newer tradition, and experimentation that marks the period, we still find constancy valued and inconstancy criticized. This article focuses on Julian, the last pagan emperor, whose short but eventful rule allows for widely differing interpretations on many counts, one of them the question of his consistency of character. This article concentrates on two key issues, his relationship to Christianity, and his assumption of the throne. While Julian depicts himself as consistent almost to a fault, our pagan and Christian sources emphasize his variability, and see it as a flaw. After examining his “conversion” and “usurpation,” and showing how and why Julian might have preferred to portray himself as inconsistent in these circumstances by preference to other options, I then treat what our Julianic sources have to say about consistency in general, and about Julian’s in particular: surprisingly, they seem unconvinced by his self-portrait.
Eduard Fraenkel: An Exploration
Authors: Stray Christopher
Published: May 2015

Eduard Fraenkel was born in 1888 in Berlin and died by his own hand in Oxford in 1970. He was one of the outstanding classical scholars of the twentieth century, known for both the depth and the breadth of his scholarship. That his best-known book, a vast edition of Aeschylus’s Agamemnon , was produced during Fraenkel’s tenure of a Latin chair at Oxford indicates both the range of his scholarship and the difficulty of pinning him down. Fraenkel was many things: a German, a Jew, a classical scholar; a spoiled only son; a devoted husband who killed himself when he heard of the death of his wife, who had herself fallen out of love with him long before; an impossibly demanding father to his five children; a brilliant teacher whose mind-expanding learning brought revelations to his pupils, including young women with whose clothing he fumbled as they conversed; a difficult author whose constant corrections and revisions were the despair of his publisher; a lover of Italy who was at his most relaxed and happy when in that country. This article explores these various facets of his life and career.

Mediatized solidarity, governmental support and metacommunicational narratives: The War on Gaza in leftist Latin American media
Authors: Bacallao-Pino Lázaro M.
Published: May 2015

This article aims to analyse the media discourses about the War on Gaza, a relevant topic in the case of public media associated with self-proclaimed left governments. The study encompasses three cases of public Latin American media: (1) Granma, the official journal of the Cuban Communist Party; (2) Telesur, a pan-Latin American television network headquartered in Caracas; and (3) Andes, a news agency created by the Ecuadorian government. Three main themes were analysed: (1) the construction of the good/bad narrative tension; (2) the representations of solidarity and governmental positions; and (3) the media discourses on (other) media discourses about the war. The findings indicate that, in the case of public media linked to these kinds of left-wing governments, the narratives regarding the war are in line with the official positions, underlining its readings on the tension between good and bad sides, reporting its statements and using a metacommunicational discourse as part of their argumentative strategy.
Rhetorical use of fear in presidential speeches: The War on Terror discourse
Authors: Goussios Charalampos , Aspriadis Neofytos , Tsirimiagou Zoi , Dogani Myrsini
Published: May 2015

This article explores the rhetorical use of fear in presidential speeches and its spillover to the media in order to achieve political and public consensus during a crisis situation. Fear is the primal emotion that people face under the recognition of an actual or an imaginary threat or danger. Based on that existential aspect, fear is also recognizable and identifiable rhetorical schema, applicable in the Mass Media/ Press. Strategic Communication uses this schema in its narrations and then diffuses it over in the Mass Media. Analysing that constructed fear we can extrapolate conclusions about the strategic planning of the political actors. In our case, we attempt to come to conclusions about the interconnection of the Rhetoric of Fear and the rhetorical construction of the ‘Rally around the Flag effect’ in the US Press. The analysis focuses on presidential rhetoric in the United States in the aftermath of 9/11 and the construction of the ‘War on Terror’ discourse. Using qualitative content and discourse analysis methodology, this article reveals that the rally around the flag effect has been mobilized rhetorically through the strategic use of fear that had been employed by the media and affected public opinion. The use of fear in President Bush’s rhetoric and its repetition by the governmental political elite influenced the opposition. The consensus of the political elite spilled over to the media and dominated the news, which reproduced the frames and the constructed fear arguments, providing a specific political reality for the public.
Parental mediation of adolescents’ Internet use in Jordan
Authors: Darweesh Abd El-Reheem A. S. , Mahmoud Abd El-Basit A. H.
Published: May 2015

While most previous studies on the internet use of Arab adolescants focused on examining the uses, benefits and risks of their online activities, less is known about the effects of parental mediation of adolescent internet use in the Arab world. This study attempts to explore the effects of parental mediation strategies on adolescent internet use and the exposure of Arab adolescants to online risks, as well as examining the influence of demographic variables on these strategies. A survey was conducted of 400 Jordanian preparatory and secondary school students, from 7 to 12 grade. The study revealed that males are more vulnerable to exposure to online risks. The educational level of the mother significantly affects the instructive mediation and exposure to online risks, while the fathers’ educational level has a significant effect on co-use mediation. The study also pointed out that there was no significant effect regarding gender on restrictive and instructive mediation.
Journalists’ views on the British coverage of Turkey’s EU bid and the clash of civilizations thesis
Authors: Paksoy Alaaddin F.
Published: May 2015

Turkey’s bid to join the European Union (EU) and the surrounding discussions in European countries’ national media have been receiving increasing interest since Turkey became an official EU membership candidate in 1999. However, almost all academic work concerning the topic examines only the media coverage. In contrast, this article looks at journalists’ views on the media content about Turkey, and also discusses the clash of civilizations thesis as a frame to understand the media discourse. Twenty-one journalists who work or had worked in various British media outlets participated in semi-structured interview sessions. The data was conceptualized and categorized with the help of qualitative analysis software NVivo. Findings are presented through two main sections: Journalists’ views on the decrease in Turkey–EU relations’ popularity in the British media and the changes in the content; and the clash of civilizations thesis in the context of Turkey’s EU bid. Journalists’ views on the coverage reveal that their approach to Turkey’s EU bid is in line with the general view of the British media. In addition, the findings show that the clash of civilizations paradigm is used as a tool for British politicians and the British media to expose their support for Turkey’s EU bid.
Banal balance, selective identification and factual omissions: The New York Times coverage of the 2014 War in Gaza
Authors: Artz Lee
Published: May 2015

This article employs the lens of media framing to investigate the editorial choices by the New York Times in covering the summer 2014 bombing and invasion of Gaza. Using an extended content analysis of front-page stories published by the New York Times from 8 July when the assault began through 26 August when a semi-stable cease fire was announced, primary explanatory frames, preferred sources and selective evaluations of events are identified. The findings suggest that a ‘both sides’ narrative, selective identification, and legitimation of sources and omissions of significant contextual facts provided readers, with singular diagnoses favouring acceptance and tolerance of Israeli actions with corollary condemnations of Palestinian actions. References from the United Nations and alternative news sources indicate that other evidence and frames would hold Israel guilty of war crimes and encourage increased support for ending the occupation.

La investigación adquiere un papel preponderante en la Universidad, el cual debe fortalecerse mediante un trabajo disciplinario, interdisciplinario y transdisciplinario, dinamizado por procesos y proyectos de diversa índole. Como eje primordial de la academia, la investigación implica una decisión y un proyecto institucional que se plasma en un horizonte delimitado por sus proyectos, sus líneas y el trabajo en equipo. La suma de políticas, principios, criterios, estrategias y proyectos sólo puede hacerse realidad en la medida en que todos los implicados se comprometan a llevar a cabo lo planeado. Plantear el Proyecto Investigativo Institucional es el primer paso para generar y consolidar una cultura investigativa.
SIGNIFICACIÓN COMPLEJA DE LÍNEAS DE INVESTIGACIÓN
Authors: Cárdenas Wiliam Mantilla
Published: May 2015

El documento orienta institucionalmente sobre el sentido y la conveniencia del trabajo por líneas de investigación en las unidades académicas (departamentos y facultades). Parte de una reflexión sobre la significación compleja de líneas de investigación que supere la visión simplista como marcos conceptuales. Se plantean entonces tres elementos que constituyen las líneas de investigación, y a partir de ellos se construye el concepto de Líneas Medulares de Investigación (LMI) y el de Líneas Activas de Investigación (LAI). Comprender las líneas como un proceso significa definir unos niveles de desarrollo: exploratorio, medio, avanzado. Se definen los criterios para cada nivel y luego se reflexiona sobre las ventajas desventajas y precauciones al trabajar con líneas de investigación. Se trata de establecer la relación entre calidad de la investigación y calidad de la educación superior. Por último, se propone un conjunto de LMI para la Universidad Santo Tomás, expresadas desde la filosofía institucional y desde la relación de las disciplinas de conocimiento de los programas con dicha filosofía
POBREZA, POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS Y EQUIDAD
Authors: R Danilo Torres
Published: May 2015

Las páginas que siguen recogen los elementos centrales de los tres proyectos que conforman la línea de Investigación sobre “Pobreza, políticas públicas y equidad”. En ellas se hace referencia particular a la complementariedad de los proyectos. El eje lo constituye la exclusión social. El primer proyecto, titulado precisamente “exclusión social”, señala el escenario general de la línea de investigación representado por la no participación de numerosos grupos sociales en el circuito del ingreso, el consumo y la producción, con sus repercusiones en el ámbito social, cultural y político. El segundo, sobre dotaciones y crecimiento, parte de la diferencia en las dotaciones iniciales entre agentes económicos y ve en ellas la expresión y un factor explicativo a la vez de la exclusión social. El tercero, sobre acumulación desigual y pobreza, destaca el carácter transgeneracional de la pobreza como resultado del carácter inercial de la exclusión social agenciada por una institucionalidad socialmente ineficiente.

CONCEPCIONES DEL CUERPO EN LA FILOSOFÍA FRANCESA CONTEMPORÁNEA

Este estudio documental complementa la mirada que sobre el cuerpo se viene haciendo en las

disciplinas y profesiones que se ocupan del cuerpo, a partir de los aportes de los filósofos franceses en la época de transición entre la fenomenología y el existencialismo. Para este fin, se seleccionaron cuatro textos de Emmanuel Mounier, Maurice Merleau-Ponty y Michel Foucault, los cuales, una vez sometidos al correspondiente resumen analítico mediante fichas SQUART NOT, fueron objeto de un análisis de contenido de tipo categorial. Este análisis permitió identificar las categorías manejadas por cada autor en torno al tema del cuerpo (existencia encarnada, esquema corpóreo, sujeto y épiméleia, respectivamente), las relaciones entre ellas, los puntos de encuentro entre autores, la pregunta común que se plantean y la respuesta que dan a ella. La pregunta por la construcción del sujeto, el sí mismo o la persona, es respondida en todos los casos acudiendo a la “realidad corpórea”. A partir de estos autores, se amplía una comprensión de lo corporal más allá de su naturaleza física, hacia sus dimensiones espiritual-social, psicológico-filosófica y culturalpolítica, que se plantea como alternativa a la concepción dualista “Rex extensa-Rex cogitans” que ha prevalecido durante siglos en nuestra cultura occidental. Como consecuencia, se plantean ideas sobre el cuerpo y lo corporal que permitirán enriquecer una nueva reflexión y nuevas formas de interpretar el mundo de lo corporal en el campo de la vida cotidiana, en el mundo socio-cultural, en la reflexión académica y, en general, en la misma filosofía

Published: May 2015

Este artículo resume los avances conceptuales y metodológicos desarrollados durante el 2003 por el Proyecto Institucional de Investigación-Intervención sobre “Vínculos, redes y ecología”. A la luz de sus objetivos, se presentan las grandes líneas conceptuales que orientan este proyecto y un primer acercamiento a la comprensión específica de los vínculos: 1) Los principios paradigmáticos, relativos al pensamiento complejo y al paradigma eco-eto-antropológico; 2) La línea metodológica basada en la etología clínica como método de observación y en la modelización como método de construcción del conocimiento; 3) Las premisas que conectan vínculos, redes y ecología; 4) Una aproximación a la conexión de los vínculos familiares con el surgimiento de lo psicopatológico. Se presentan además los desarrollos y los aportes generales de los trabajos de grado de la Maestría adscritos al proyecto.
PROCESOS DE FORMACIÓN Y TERAPIA DESDE UN ENFOQUE ECOLÓGICO
Authors: Rodríguez Mónica Ivonne Polo , Charry Diana María Rodríguez , Rodríguez Leonardo Rodríguez
Published: May 2015

A partir de un enfoque sistémico constructivista complejo, se abordó la cuestión de la formación de terapeutas en el contexto latinoamericano de cara a sus dinámicas educativas y sociales. El entrenamiento de clínicos requiere ser evaluado, con el fin de dar cuenta de cómo se forman terapeutas y sus niveles de eficacia e impacto social, como modos éticos. Para ello, se diseñó una investigación cualitativa, que creó escenarios metaobservacionales y reflexivos, cuyas escenas preexistían, pues se trataba de los contextos de supervisión estructurados en la Maestría en Psicología Clínica y de Familia de la Universidad Santo Tomás, en ambiente de consulta ambulatoria y de internación psiquiátrica. Se metaobservó y conversó reflexivamente con consultantes, equipos de supervisión y familias consultantes. Los primeros resultados muestran un proceso formativo gradual, que combina lo técnico y lo experiencial, las pautas relacionales y los sentidos de las narrativas, donde se promueve el cambio desde la reflexividad y la autorreferencia, logrando novedad en los modos de conocer, vincular y significar las experiencias de vida.
ESTADO DEL ARTE DE LA INVESTIGACIÓN EN LA RELACIÓN SALUD-NIÑEZ, DESDE LA PSICOLOGÍA EN RELACIÓN CON LA MEDICINA, EN BOGOTÁ
Authors: O Ana Mercedes Abreo
Published: May 2015

Se presenta el estado del conocimiento sobre salud-niñez-componente psicológico y su relación  en medicina y psicología (psicoanálisis, humanismo, conductismo, sistémico), en Bogotá, durante la década del 90. La metodología es un estado del arte de tipo analítico, corte mixto, teniendo como estrategias el análisis estadístico y de contenido que se desarrolló en las fases de contextualización, compilación de evidencias, clasificación, análisis, discusión de resultados y socialización. La poca investigación que se encuentra en contextos universitarios es discontinua y versa sobre temáticas originadas en el interés del investigador; no hay conceptualización explícita sobre salud, niñez, psique, ni avances disciplinares al respecto. La conceptualización estuvo referida a las temáticas estudiadas centradas en la enfermedad, su evaluación y tratamiento, donde el niño es el receptor del ambiente, influido por éste y, en ocasiones, víctima del mismo. El foco de la relación entre las categorías estuvo representado por la emoción como principal componente psicológico y por la incidencia del ambiente familiar sobre el niño. Desde la medicina, la psicología y dentro de los enfoques psicológicos, se encuentran puntos de convergencia y divergencia en cuanto a la comprensión de salud, niñez y su relación.
MÁS ALLÁ DE LAS CUENTAS 1: PROCESOS Y ESTRUCTURAS ADITIVAS
Authors: Romero Teresita Bernal
Published: May 2015

Más allá de las cuentas 1 se constituye como un proyecto de investigación de la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad Santo Tomás, que pretende construir versiones sobre cómo operan los procesos de razonamiento, creatividad y metacognición en niños de segundo grado ante la resolución de problemas de estructura aditiva. En la aplicación participan 64 niños de segundo grado de cinco colegios de Bogotá. Los criterios de selección frente a los niños son habilidades comunicativas y logros en el área de matemáticas; frente a los colegios son la heterogeneidad y la disponibilidad. La investigación es de tipo cualitativo y el método PEVA (método de pensar en voz alta). Como estrategias de recolección de información se usan el protocolo de aplicación PEVA y la entrevista semi-estructurada; en el análisis de la información se usan análisis de contenido de tipo categorial. En los resultados se puede observar cómo los protagonistas priorizan el razonamiento deductivo. En cuanto a creatividad, se mantiene la estrategia de resolución de problemas enseñada por el maestro. Frente a la metacognición, se observa cómo los niños supervisan las acciones que tienen que ver con la ejecución del algoritmo de la suma.
