The relevance of the research topic. Over the past two decades, interest in the organization and construction of the training process of hurdlers of different ages and different skill levels has increased significantly, which due to the growth of results abroad. This determines the study of the features of of the content of the training process of hurdlers at the stage of preliminary basic preparation. A number of authors substantiated the ways of improvement of the educational and training process of track and field athletes, studied the rhythmic and temporal structure of the running. The most effective modern means of training athletes are fitness technologies, as indicated by recent scientific publications. Varieties of fitness are a universal training tool that can be modified and adapted to the needs of any athlete in any training period. The purpose of the research is to substantiate the ways of realization of fitness technologies in the training process of young men hurdlers. Materials and methods of the research. The study was conducted on the basis of the Children and Youth Sports School No. 1 in Vinnytsia. The study involved boys aged 13-14 years old who specialize in 110-meter hurdles. Results. During the analysis of sources of literature it was established that the structure of an annual cycle of preparation of hurdlers can change as the level of physical abilities, physical fitness of an athlete is unstable. The content and structure of training loads change in relation to periods and stages of the annual cycle. In the training of athletes of different levels, different sports the following types of fitness are mainly used: strength training, stretching, functional training, callanetics, step aerobics. Conclusions. The absence of the use of modern training means in training of hurdlers is revealed, that leads to the decrease of indicators of physical fitness of athletes. The prospect of the further researches consists in the study of indicators of fitness of juniors who are engaged in barrier running.

Relevance of the research topic. Currently, science in the field of physical culture and sports includes theoretical and empirical levels and aspects of knowledge and research that closely interact within the framework of most studies that simultaneously include the construction of theoretical models, conceptualization and operationalization of concepts and hypotheses, primary data collection and analysis. The purpose of the article is to determine the effectiveness of the author's technology for the formation of movement techniques during practical shooting of athletes with a pistol in motion. Participants of the study. The study involved 8 qualified athletes specialising in practical pistol shooting. The effectiveness of the author's technology was assessed by reducing the number of errors in the experimental and control groups during the implementation of the technology. Provided that the equivalence of the experimental and control groups is achieved at the initial stage of the experiment, the main hypothesis ‘the use of the author's technology will help to reduce the number of errors during movement among athletes specialising in practical pistol shooting in motion’ should be tested. Research methods. We conducted an experimental study in the laboratory using expert analysis. The results obtained in the course of the study were processed using the methods of mathematical statistics. Results and key conclusions. The research has a clearly expressed quasi-metric character, the evaluation of the movement technique of athletes during shooting is based on expert judgments, and not on accurate objective measurements. Athletes' errors are recorded by experts on the basis of observations, which is a classic example of using a semi-quantitative approach, where each expert assesses the presence or absence of specific errors, and the data is recorded in the form of binary scores (yes/no error). However, this approach allows subjective assessments to be structured for further analysis, even if they are not absolutely accurate. Reliability is ensured by a sufficient number of qualified experts and the consistency of their assessments of the study, namely the participation of five experts who assessed the technique of athletes before and after the experiment. The Kendall's coefficient W=0.357, at a significance level of p<0.05, indicates a moderate but statistically significant consistency of expert assessments. This means that the experts demonstrated a sufficient level of consistency in their judgements, which allows us to consider their assessments reliable for further analysis of the results of the experiment.
Technomoral Governance
Authors: Acosta Raúl , Bruun Maja Hojer , Koch Insa Lee
Published: January 2025

This special issue examines the concept of ‘technomoral governance’, a framework that describes the intertwining of moral imperatives with technocratic and technological solutions in contemporary political governance. Building on Erica Bornstein and Aradhana Sharma's (2016) notion of ‘technomoral politics’, which looked at how moral projects become intertwined with legal-technical interventions, we explore how political tactics increasingly rely on technical and technologically driven innovations to address fundamental societal challenges. Confronted with issues that range from climate change to rampant urban inequalities and humanitarian crises, actors across China, India, Ghana, Denmark, the UK and Mexico come to invoke the language of technomoral interventions to justify political decision-making. These approaches, executed under the guise of neutrality, mask existing inequalities while also offering opportunities for unexpected forms of resistance. We argue that the convergence of moral and technological strategies represents a significant development in contemporary governance, producing murky, contradictory and often highly unequal effects.

Ce dossier examine le concept de gouvernance techno-morale, un cadre pour décrire les connexions entre des impératives morales et des solutions technocratiques et technologiques dans la gouvernance politique contemporaine. Nous nous appuyons sur la notion de ‘la politique techno-morale’, qui a été élaborée par Erica Bornstein and Aradhana Sharma en 2016 pour étudier comment les projets morals deviennent entrelacés avec des interventions légal-techniques. Nous explorons comment les tactiques politiques dépendent de plus en plus sur les innovations techniques, propulsées par des technologies, afin de répondre aux défis fondamentaux de notre société. Face aux problématiques comme le changement climatique, les inégalités croissantes dans des territoires urbains, et les crises humanitaires, des acteurs en Chine, Inde, Ghana, Danemark, Royaume-Uni, et Mexique commencent à parler des interventions techno-morales afin de justifier les processus décisionnels en politique. Ces approches, qui sont mise en pratique sous une voile de neutralité, masquent des inégalités existantes. En parallèle, elles permettent des occasions pour des formes imprévues de résistance. Nous proposons que la convergence des stratégies morales et techniques représente un développement important dans la gouvernance contemporaine, qui produit des effets insoupçonnés, contradictoires, et souvent inégales.
‘What is not Counted, doesn't Count’
Authors: Acosta Raúl
Published: January 2025

Urban mobility in Mexico City is managed through a technomoral form of governance in which activists, advocates, experts and other stakeholders agree on priorities to shape government policies and projects. The process is less of a political-ideological haggling, and more of a moral struggle between right and wrong. These moral views are supported through technically implementable data or formulas. The phrase ‘what is not counted doesn't count’ was frequently used by a local government official in charge of cycling promotion, to call on activists to measure the use of bicycles in order to demand improvements in infrastructure and projects. To advance in their objectives, stakeholders reached moral agreements over bundles of information that served as building blocks for policies and projects.

La mobilité urbaine dans la ville de Mexico est gérée au travers une forme de gouvernance techno-morale dans laquelle des activistes, supporteurs, experts et d'autres personnes concernées décident ensemble les priorités pour définir la politique et les projets du gouvernement. Le processus comporte des négociations politico-idéologiques, mais il est surtout une bataille morale entre le bien et le mal. Ces perspectives morales sont soutenues par des données ou des formules qui peuvent être mise en place par des moyens techniques. La phrase ‘tout ce qui n'est pas prise en compte, ne compte pas’ a été utilisée très souvent par un fonctionnaire du gouvernement local, chargé de promouvoir le cyclisme et de faire appel aux activistes pour mesurer la pratique du vélo afin de demander des améliorations aux infrastructures et projets. Pour avancer leurs objectifs, les personnes intéressées ont trouvé des accords moraux concernant les renseignements qui ont servi comme des blocs de construction pour des politiques et projets.
Ode to the Literature Review
Authors: Raghavan Rishabh
Published: January 2025

Drawing inspiration from the workings of a literature review, this annual review article rounds up publications from major European anthropology journals in a way that allows readers to jot down, carve up and route themselves towards articles and special issues that might be of interest to them. Arranged under three large thematic subsections, the annual review article looks at articles that broadly fell under the research disciplines of environmental anthropology, anthropology of labour and the anthropology of religion, before presenting a condensed review of the notable special issues from 2023. It is laced with a few observations and reflections, spaced intermittently throughout, and ends with a brief conclusion that touches on the joys of reading anthropology – a sensation still experienced by many, but one that may be less available to those who are caught in the jostles of building an academic career.

En tirant notre inspiration des mécanismes d'une revue de la littérature, cet article de rapport annuel donne un aperçu sur les publications de journaux européens d'anthropologie. Nous voulons permettre les lecteurs et lectrices de noter, trier, et s'orienter vers des articles et des dossiers qui pourraient les intéresser. L'article de rapport annuel est structuré en trois sous-sections thématiques et présente des articles publiés dans les domaines de recherche d'anthropologie environnementale, d'anthropologie de travail, et d'anthropologie des religions. Ensuite nous présentons un compte-rendu bref des principaux dossiers de l'an 2023. Tout au long de l'article, nous insérons quelques observations et réflexions et nous terminerons par une conclusion brève qui évoque les joies de lire l'anthropologie. Cette sensation est toujours ressentie chez les chercheurs et les chercheuses, mais elle est peut-être moins à la disposition de ceux et celles qui sont en train d’établir leur carrière scientifique.

Pokdakan Karya Mandiri Jaya is a group of fish farmers located in Marta Jaya Village, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, South Sumatra Province. The main problem faced by Pokdakan Karya Mandiri Jaya is the relatively low survival rate of snakehead fish. This group is only able to produce 5000 snakehead fish larvae at a time spawning with the survival rate of the snakehead fish becoming adult snakehead fish around 70-75%. This is due to a decrease in water quality caused by the accumulation of leftover feed which is not handled regularly. Therefore, a system is needed to monitor pH, temperature and turbidity of water so that cultivators can take initial preventive measures. Service activities are carried out in three stages, the first stage was analytical situation, the second is planning and the last is implementation. The IoT device that was previously installed has already carried out the calibration process. The calibration results showed that the IoT tool can be used in the Pokdakan Karya Mandiri Jaya snakehead fish cultivation. It is hoped that from the application of IoT technology, Pokdakan Karya Mandiri Jaya can reduce the risk of death of snakehead fish and increase snakehead fish production.

Published: January 2025

Agricultural development is faced with various challenges, such as climate change which can lead to food insecurity, the conversion of agricultural cultivation land to non-agriculture, population growth followed by an increase in food demand, exploitation, and degradation of agricultural land resources which causes a decrease in soil quality, environment, and agricultural products. Organic fertilizer can be obtained from the processing of organic waste which is produced either from agricultural waste or from household organic waste. Making eco-enzymes is an innovation that can be applied at the smallest level, namely households and farmer groups to be able to produce organic fertilizer. The Community Service Activity for the Food Security Scheme which was carried out in Kamulyan Village, Manonjaya District, Tasikmalaya Regency was to provide information on the concept of environmentally friendly agriculture through the manufacture of eco-enzymes as an effort to meet the demand for organic fertilizers. Next, a method is given for applying organic fertilizer from eco-enzyme fermentation to plants. This solution is offered considering the various benefits of eco-enzymes, especially in meeting the organic fertilizer needs of partner farmers, which in turn can increase the knowledge, skills, and independence of farmers.

One of the villages in Banjarbaru has a unique handicraft product because it is made from Purun plants, a type of shrub that grows wild in swamp areas. The products made by the community around Palam Village are bags and accessories woven from Purun rat plant materials. So far, the handicraft is enough to provide additional income for housewives but has not provided optimal results because it has yet to implement a digital marketing strategy. The bag products produced are also relatively simple and have yet to be modified to gain more value in sales. This community service project aimed to train housewives in product development so they could produce Purun bag items more skillfully. Furthermore, instruction was provided on creating poster designs using the Canva software as a digital marketing tool. During the training, the artisans had the chance to try creating Purun bags by hand and creating advertising posters using their phones. The end training outcomes demonstrated that the artisans could incorporate the instruction into their creations. The assessment form revealed that the artisans were highly motivated to participate in the training and expressed hopes that conducting more of this kind of instruction in the future would be possible.

CHALLENGES OF TRANSLATING COLLOQUIAL VOCABULARY INTO GERMAN ON THE BASIS OF SERHIY ZHADAN'S NOVEL «INTERNAT»
Authors: SENYK Galyna , MULYK Antonina
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the study of the challenges that arise in the German translation of colloquial vocabulary in S. Zhadan's novel «The Orphanage». Colloquial vocabulary plays a key role in reproducing the cultural and social peculiarities of the linguistic environment of the characters in this novel. Therefore, the main challenges lie in the difficulty of adequately conveying informal expressions, phraseological units and other elements of colloquial speech, which can be difficult due to the lack of direct correspondences in German.

The study was conducted on the basis of a sample of words and phrases of colloquial vocabulary from the novel by S. Zhadan's novel «The Orphanage», which consists of 73 units from the original text and their translations into German by translators Juri Durkot and Sabine Stor. The selected sample made it possible to analyze the typical difficulties faced by translators in conveying the linguistic features and stylistic nuances of Ukrainian spoken language in German translation. Attention is drawn to the issue of accuracy of the original language flavor.

The article describes the translation problems of lexical, grammatical and lexico-grammatical categories on the basis of a sample of colloquial vocabulary of the novel. The specifics of the use of the main types of translation transformations used by the translator are analyzed and examples are given to confirm this. In particular, the author analyzes artistic examples of such transformations: lexical (differentiation, modulation, specification), grammatical (grammatical substitution, addition, deletion, grammatical rearrangement of sentence members) and lexico-grammatical (holistic transformation).

To demonstrate the quantitative ratio of translation transformations, diagrams are provided that show in detail which transformations are more common at each level. The quantitative analysis shows that the most commonly used translation transformations are at the grammatical level, which is due to significant differences in the grammatical structures and norms of these languages.

The study proves the importance of a careful approach to the translation of colloquial vocabulary, since translation decisions concerning the rendering of informal expressions, idioms, and culturally marked elements directly affect the accuracy of reproducing the atmosphere of a work and its emotional expressiveness.
THE IMPLICIT CONTENT OF KAMALA HARRIS’S AND JOE BIDEN’S POLITICAL DISCOURSES
Authors: SUNKO Nataliia , ILASH Valeriia
Published: January 2025

The speech of participants in any discourse, particularly political discourse, contains both explicit and implicit meanings. Political discourse is characterized by its ambiguity, making the correct interpretation of the messages conveyed by politicians — implicatures (“what is left unsaid”) — a challenging task. This requires the establishment of unwritten communicative rules according to which the speaker must avoid both excessive brevity and unnecessary verbosity. Still, politicians use implicatures as a strategy to influence the electorate, deliberately resorting to ambiguity in their speeches. However, this strategy does not always yield desired results, as the reactions within the discourse, particularly from the media and political circles, may distort the original meaning of what was said. This highlights the relevance of analyzing the implicit information derived from the political discourses of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris at various stages of their careers. The study examines quotations from their political speeches, addresses, and interviews, as well as the editorial content from the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, and other leading American publications from 1987 to 2024.

The theoretical foundation for the practical implementation of the research area is the theory of implicature proposed by English philosopher Herbert Paul Grice, who also formulated the principles of effective communication within the framework of the so-called Cooperative Principle. A harmonious synthesis of the maxims of the Cooperative Principle with implicit meanings is necessary for reaching mutual understanding between the speaker and the listener, which is particularly relevant for political discourse.

As a result of the study, based on Grice’s theory of implicatures, violations of the maxims of the Cooperative Principle were analyzed in the political discourses of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. It was found that such violations, identified through stylistic devices (euphemisms, metaphors, allusions, hints, etc.), generate implicit meanings that influence the audience’s perception. The study demonstrated how Grice’s theory of implicatures is applied in real political communication contexts, based on context, background knowledge, and historical background, which contributes to the development of discourse analysis, pragmatics, and political linguistics, while also potentially finding practical applications in media analysis, critical thinking. and rhetoric.
TERMINOLOGY SYSTEM OF ENGINEERING PSYCHOLOGY IN GERMAN: STRUCTURE AND SEMANTICS
Authors: KIYKO Svitlana , KIYKO Yuriy
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the description of the term system of German engineering psychology, i.e. a scientific discipline that studies the processes of informational interaction between humans and technology. The emergence of this field is due to rapid scientific and technological progress and the increasing demands on the mental and intellectual spheres of humans in the work process. The research material is a continuous sample of 4,565 terms and term combinations of German engineering psychology, of which 2,962 are classified as originally German terms.

The structural analysis of the terminology revealed the predominance of compound and abbreviations, followed by term combinations, derived words, and simple one-root terms. The ways of word formation of derived derivatives (prefixation, suffixation, prefix-suffix formation) are examined in detail. Particular attention is paid to compound terms, mostly two-component ones.

The features of polysemy and synonymy, which is a widespread phenomenon in engineering psychology terminology, are analyzed. The reasons for the emergence of numerous synonymous rows, including the influence of English-language terminology, are explained. Metaphorical and eponymic terms, which may create difficulties in decoding, are considered separately.

The presence of a diverse and extensive terminology indicates the gradual formation of engineering psychology as a scientific discipline. A comprehensive study based on a large empirical material allows to reveal the specifics of the terminological apparatus of this field of knowledge and the general patterns of its development.

Companies have increasingly sought strategies that will ensure a more
competitive position in the marketplace. Among these strategies adopted by
companies include the health and welfare of the worker, factors currently
valued by consumers, especially those of most demanding market. Thus, the
postural analysis is of great importance and interest because it is the
study of positioning related to body parts like head, torso and limbs,
capable of producing loads that may be excessive or insufficient causing
disturbances in the muscle skeletal system worker. The aim of this study was
to perform a postural analysis of the main sectors of workers (slaughter,
cutting room, special cuts, packaging and dispatch) of a typical
refrigerator pig industry in Brazil during the execution of their daily
activities as well as developing proposals to minimize and/or eliminate the
diseases and accidents. The study followed the safety norms of Brazilian
Ministry of Labor and Employment. The posture analysis used the OWAS (Ovako
Working Posture Analyzing System) methodology. The postures assumed by
workers in the sector of packaging were as the most in need of emergency and
quick action.
Case studies – ergonomics in projects
Authors: Pikaar Ruud N.
Published: January 2025

The aim of a series of sessions on Company Case Studies, is to learn
from practical experiences, to give feed back to researchers on
applicability of theories, methods and techniques, and last but not least,
to market ergonomics. In order to learn from case material, reports need to
be easy accessible and well structured. System ergonomics provides such a
structure. Usually a project is not done twice, i.e. with and without
ergonomics. Therefore, it is not possible to make comparisons and determine
the impact of ergonomics directly. A different approach is needed. It has
been suggested at the IEA2006 World Congress, to compile a database of
published case studies, each case to be reported in a fixed report format
and critically reviewed to enable generalizing the outcomes. This paper
proposes such a format. At the IEA2012 World Congress 40 case studies have
been accepted, representing applied ergonomics cases in manufacturing,
process industries, aviation and logistic systems.

The purpose of the study is to experimentally study the dependence of the physical and mechanical parameters of wheat grain on the moisture level and optical characteristics: the coefficient of friction on the perforated surface, the angle of natural slope and the coefficient of internal friction, the coefficient of absorption and reflection of light rays from the grain. The study is based on experimental data on the main physical and mechanical characteristics of wheat and its husks. The method of determining the physical and mechanical characteristics of wheat grain is presented, and the conditions of the experiments are described. The work presents a structural and functional scheme and a description of the device for determining the optical characteristics of grain materials.
According to the results of the research, the values of the studied properties of the material at different levels of humidity were obtained. The conducted analysis showed that with an increase in humidity, the investigated indicators also increase: the coefficient of friction against the surface, the angle of natural slope and the coefficient of internal friction. In the humidity range of 15-17%, the increase in the values of all indicators is almost not observed and is restored only with a further increase in humidity. The values of the spectral reflection coefficients of visible radiation from grain materials and the radiation transmission coefficients from the height of the grain material layer were obtained. In the humidity range of 15–16.5%, there is almost no increase in the value of the coefficient of friction, and with a further increase in humidity, its increase is restored. The study found that with an increase in the height of the layer of granular materials to 10–15 mm, the value of the light radiation transmission coefficient goes to zero. That is, it can be assumed that grain with a layer height of more than 10 mm and grain impurities with a layer height of more than 15–20 mm become optically opaque materials.
The obtained results can be used for the theoretical calculation of the design parameters and modes of the device for determining the optical characteristics of grain materials, as well as for determining the kinematic elements of the movement of the working surface and the processed material at different levels of moisture of the grain entering the express processing.

Published: January 2025

The present study investigated the impact of virtual reality on mathematics learning, specifically focusing on the perimeters and areas of regular geometric figures. Employing a quantitative approach, a descriptive quasi-experimental study was conducted with eighth-grade students in basic education. Pre- and post-surveys were utilized to assess students’ motivation before and after the virtual reality intervention. The results revealed a significant increase in students’ motivation after the intervention, supporting the hypothesis that virtual reality positively affects students’ motivation towards mathematics learning. Additionally, positive changes were observed in the perception of complexity, enjoyment, and willingness to continue using virtual reality in mathematics learning. These findings suggest that virtual reality could be considered a tool that offers numerous benefits for increasing student motivation and engagement in mathematics learning. Future research is recommended to be longitudinal, comparative, and focused on the development of new virtual reality applications, aiming to further expand understanding of the use of this technology in mathematics education and enhance students’ learning experiences.

Authors: Suárez María José , Garcia Jaume
Published: January 2025

The definition of physical activity in the literature on sports practice is highly heterogeneous. This article provides evidence of the extent to which the inclusion of walking, which is one of the most frequent types of physical activity, and the minimum frequency used to consider a person a practitioner affect the conclusions about the correlates of physical activity practice and frequency. To this end, we compared participation and frequency models by applying different measures of physical activity. We found that the activities included under the definition of physical activity play a relevant role in terms of the effects of the covariates in both the participation and frequency models. However, the minimum frequency used to define a person as a practitioner is not associated with significant changes in the effects of the correlates. These conclusions may have relevant policy implications in terms of designing measures to promote participation in physical activity.
Post-Career Discrimination in Professional Basketball: Evidence from the Hall of Fame
Authors: Cardazzi Alexander , Humphreys Brad , Olbrecht Alexandre
Published: January 2025

Economic research on racial discrimination frequently employs data from sports. We analyze admission decisions for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame (HOF) for evidence of discrimination against Black National Basketball Association (NBA) players from the 1950s to the 2010s. Our results suggest that, holding career performance constant, the average Black former All-Star, who is not currently in the HOF, is about five percentage points less likely to be admitted into the HOF compared to similar non-Black All-Stars. This represents about a 50% reduction in the probability of admission into the HOF. The anonymous electors to the HOF appear to act on discriminatory preferences. Like the results in the NBA salary discrimination literature, this effect disappeared in the 1980s and 1990s and reappeared in the 2000s.

Propomo-nos a realizar uma análise lexicográfica, seguindo pressupostos teóricos-metodológicos da onomástica, em busca da motivação do nome do distrito Monsenhor Horta (pertencente à Mariana, MG) e o porquê da antiga denominação – São Caetano - ter sido preterida. Para tanto, colhemos testemunhos linguísticos ou registros da memória de 10 Participantes que colaboraram para esta pesquisa, e analisamos os aspectos históricos e socioculturais que circundam o distrito sob análise. Como referencial teórico, para as concepções de memória, cultura e patrimônio baseamo-nos em Hall (2006), Geertz (2008) e Assmann (2011), quanto aos estudos do léxico, para analisarmos o topônimo em questão, apoiamo-nos em Biderman (1998), Oliveira e Isquerdo (1998) e Dick (1999), assim a pesquisa colabora para desvelar um passado desaparecido e para explicar parte da história do Português Brasileiro em Minas Gerais. Por isso afirmamos que o léxico indicia o modo como um grupo vê a realidade que o circunda e a forma como designa as coisas (cf. Dick 1990a, 1990b, 1996, 2004). Como conclusão, verificamos que a substituição dos denominativos, de São Caetano para Monsenhor Horta, teve como motivação o desejo de homenagear um pároco local, o qual até hoje, é reverenciado pelos moradores católicos.
Alcances del Manejo Forestal Comunitario en diferentes Servicios Ecosistémicos de tipo ecológico, económico y social.
Authors:   El Colegio de Michoacán, Castellanos Martínez José Manuel
Published: January 2025

Uno de los grandes retos en de estudio de los sistemas forestales es comprender la complejidad y dinámica socioecológica con la que los bosques aportan diversos servicios ecosistémicos. Este aporte no solamente es una causa y un efecto simultáneo de otros procesos naturales y ciclos ecológicos de los sistemas forestales, sino también es consecuencia de las acciones sociales, las cuales influyen de forma paralela en la provisión de SE. Este artículo muestra los impactos que tuvo el cambio del manejo forestal comunitario (MFC) sobre diversos servicios ecosistémicos en un ejido perteneciente a una porción de la Sierra de Álvarez en la zona media de San Luis Potosí donde se practicaba la deforestación descontrolada. El estudio se basa en los principios de la teoría neoinstitucional de los bienes comunes. La recolección de información se desarrolló en una etapa de trabajo de campo a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas, recorridos de campo y observación participante. Las acciones de MFC no solo detuvieron la deforestación, sino que promovieron un proceso de conciencia y educación forestal e impactaron en los beneficios económicos del ejido. El MFC aporta a la provisión de servicios ecosistémicos, pero complementado con otras dinámicas participativas, sociales y tecnológicas en la región, indudablemente propician el aumento del potencial de los SE en las dimensiones sociopolítica, económica y ecológica.
Música y placer. Una recuperación de la filosofía de la música de Guy de Chabanon.
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, García Mancilla Carlos David
Published: January 2025

El modelo de imitación de la naturaleza fue central en el arte desde los albores de la Modernidad. Un marco así parece inadecuado para comprender la música. O eso considera el músico y filósofo Guy de Chabanon desde finales del siglo XVIII. También se entendía frecuentemente la música a través de su relación con las emociones. Previo a Hanslick y con una perspectiva muy concreta y relativamente periférica a la filosofía y al mundo europeo, Chabanon busca entender la música en sí misma y no a través de la imitación o las emociones dando fuertes argumentos para rechazar intentos contrarios. Sin embargo, también propone una explicación para la fuerte inclinación a pensar la música en términos de estados de ánimo. De esta manera, el presente texto expone el contexto y argumentos que separan a la música del principio imitativo y de expresión de las emociones, a la vez que busca dar nuevas directrices sobre la filosofía de la música en los debates actuales a partir del pensamiento de Chabanon. Pues este pensador señala en la música un estado de bienestar general que, según él, acompaña siempre al fenómeno musical. Partiendo de esta característica elemental de la música, Chabanon explica que las imitaciones o expresiones de emociones en la música se deben a vagas analogías que son una posibilidad secundaria e inesencial en la audición musical. Pero ello considerando que, a la base, la música es, en su pensamiento, el lenguaje universal del placer.
Testimonios y narrativas audiovisuales desde las islas. Sobre el filme“Exilio de Malvinas”.
Authors:   Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento, Gullino Pablo Francisco
Published: January 2025

Son pocas las referencias en la filmeografía argentina sobre Malvinas donde los isleños sean el eje de los testimonios. El filmede Federico J. Palma aborda está área de vacancia a partir de los relatos de Alexander Betts, James Peck y Mike Bingham. Los dos primeros son nativos de Malvinas. Y el tercero es de nacionalidad británica y en el documental cuenta su compleja experiencia laboral en Malvinas. Los tres, por diversos motivos, fueron forzados a dejar las islas y trasladarse a la Argentina Continental. Estos tres entrevistados constituyen los tres ejes problemáticos del filme: la disputa sobre la soberanía, la forma en la cual el gobierno de facto de las islas trata a los habitantes con opiniones disidentes sobre la ocupación británica y la pesca indiscriminada que otorga a las autoridades coloniales beneficios económicos, en claro perjuicio del Mar Argentino. Así, el filmepermite pensar la construcción de identidades nacionales y las diferentes aristas del ejercicio del colonialismo.El cine activa siempre mecanismos de producción de sentido que buscan imponer un marco interpretativo sobre los sucesos históricos que son narrados. Si bien la disputa por las Islas Malvinas, Islas Sandwich, Islas Georgias y los espacios marítimos circundantes data de principios del siglo XIX, la confrontación bélica de 1982 entre Argentina y el Reino Unido marca un punto de inflexión y emerge como acontecimiento explicativo vital de los derechos sobre el archipiélago para ambas naciones.
Muchas de estas memorias audiovisuales son narraciones subalternas que buscan entrar en relación dialéctica con las imperantes narrativas colectivas de sentido. Como escribe Enzo Traverso, “la visibilidad y el reconocimiento de una memoria dependen también de la fuerza de sus portadores” (2011). En este mismo juego, surgen los argumentos de estas historias que buscan otro acercamiento a la complejidad de la Cuestión Malvinas.
