Exploring the Psychological Effects and Physical Exertion of Using Different Movement Interactions in Casual Exergames That Promote Active Microbreaks: Quasi-Experimental Study (Preprint)
Authors: Berglund Aseel , Orädd Helena
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Prolonged sedentary behavior, such as sitting or reclining, has consistently been identified as a stand-alone risk factor for heightened cardiometabolic risk and overall mortality. Conversely, interrupting sedentary periods by incorporating short, active microbreaks has been shown to mitigate the negative effects of sedentary behavior. Casual exergames, which mix elements of casual gaming with physical activity, are one prospective intervention to reduce sedentary behavior because they require physical exertion. Casual exergames have shown promise in fostering emotional and physical advantages when played in specific circumstances. However, little research exists on how different types of movement interactions impact the psychological effects as well as the physical exertion of playing casual exergames.

OBJECTIVE

The primary aim of this work was to explore the psychological effects and physical exertion of playing casual exergames lasting 2 minutes. More precisely, the investigation focused on comparing upper body and full body movement interactions. In addition, the work examined variations in body positions, considering both standing and seated positions during upper body movement interactions.

METHODS

Two casual exergames were developed and investigated through 2 quasi-experimental studies. In study 1, we investigated how players’ perceptions of control, exertion, and immersion were affected by using upper body as opposed to full body exergame controllers when playing casual exergames. In study 2, we investigated differences in positive affect, performance, enjoyment, and exertion when playing casual exergames with upper body movement interactions in seated and standing positions.

RESULTS

Study 1 showed that perceived control was significantly higher for upper body movement interactions than for full body movement interactions (P=.04), but there were no significant differences regarding perceived exertion (P=.15) or immersion (P=.66). Study 2 showed that positive affect increased significantly for both standing (P=.003) and seated (P=.001) gameplay. The participants in the standing gameplay group showed slightly higher actual exertion; however, there were no differences between the groups in terms of positive affect, perceived exertion, enjoyment, or performance.

CONCLUSIONS

Casual exergames controlled by upper body movement interactions in seated gameplay can produce similar psychological effects and physical exertion as upper body movement interactions in standing gameplay and full body movement interactions. Therefore, upper body and seated casual exergames should not be overlooked as a suitable microbreak activity.

Authors: D'Amiano Anjali , Kollings Jack , Sunshine Joel
Published: August 2024

UNSTRUCTURED

The dermatology match is a highly discussed topic, and creators online often comment about the qualifications needed to match. Social media posts can share differing advice with potential misinformation that can cause excess stress and deter students interested in dermatology. We aimed to assess the quality of online information about the match process, with sources from Reddit, Student Doctor Network (SDN), and TikTok. In March 2024, “How to match into dermatology” and “Advice for the dermatology match process” was searched on these platforms, and 34 sources were assessed for the information source and specific advice for application components such as USMLE scores, research experiences and clinical interests, clerkship grades, and away rotations. Online material was compared with the official National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) 2022 match data using student t-test’s for mean USMLE scores and research experiences. We collected information on media recommendations regarding research years, clerkship grades, medical school rankings, AOA status, broad vs focused dermatology and volunteer interests, away rotations, and dual applications. 10 Tik-Tok videos, 15 Reddit posts, and 10 SDN posts were included in the study. The NRMP and online media data differed significantly among mean Step 1 scores (248 vs 254.5, p<0.001), number of abstracts, posters, and publications (20.9 vs 23.3, p<0.01), and number of total publications (7 vs 13.2, p<0.001). The NRMP and online data did not differ significantly among mean Step 2 scores (257 vs 261.0, p=0.06). Of the 22 total articles that discussed a potential research year, 16 articles recommended taking a research year during medical school (72.7%). Fifteen total articles mentioned grades during medical school, and 10 of these articles explained the importance of attaining AOA status (66.7%), compared to the NRMP data which shared that 39.7% of matched dermatology residents attained AOA status. Six articles commented on students pursuing focused vs broad interests in dermatology, and 3 (50%) articles recommended having broad interests in dermatology, while 3 (50%) discussed having niche interests. Twenty-one articles covered the topic of away rotations, of which 19 (90.5%) recommended doing an away rotation. Eleven articles discussed a number (mean 3.9 away rotations), whereas 8 (38.0%) articles said to complete as many away rotations as possible, in contrast to the official APD letter which recommends completing no more than 2 away rotations. Media found online does not match the AAMC-verified data or current APD statements. Accredited programs should consider releasing a statement regarding match information to dispel common rumors.

Authors: Saban Karen L. , Joyce Cara , Jones-Patten Alexandria , Janusek Linda , Tell Dina , de la Pena Paula , Motley Darnell , Shawahin Lamise , Prescott Laura , Potts-Thompson Stephanie , Taylor Jacquelyn Y.
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

In recent years the prevalence of cardiometabolic disease (CMD) in women has drastically risen and the risk increases with age in comparison to men. Evidence demonstrates that stressful life events, including racism and perceived discrimination, contribute substantially to inflammatory diseases, such as CMD. Despite this evidence, few evidence-based interventions are available to assist minorities in coping with the chronic stress related to being a minority.

OBJECTIVE

Our proposed randomized controlled trial (RCT) will test a novel, race-based intervention tailored to AA women, called Resilience, Stress, and Ethnicity (RiSE)

METHODS

In this randomized controlled trial, we will randomize participants 1:1 to the 8-week, group–based Resilience, Stress, and Ethnicity (RiSE) program (intervention) or a health education program (HEP-attention control group). The primary endpoint will be stress at 6 months post-intervention, and the efficacy of RiSE will be evaluated for improving stress-related symptoms (chronic stress, racism, discrimination, and subjective social status), reducing inflammatory burden, and improving coping strategies in African American (AA) women at risk for CMD. Validated survey measures and biomarkers will be assessed at baseline, mid-intervention, completion of intervention, and 6 months post-intervention, and differences over time by intervention will be evaluated using mixed effects models.

RESULTS

Racism is a dangerous, pervasive, and unfortunately, growing problem in the U.S. It is essential to find a way to reduce the impact of racism on psychological and physical health at the individual level. RiSE reduces stress and has the potential to reduce the psychobiological consequences of racism and discrimination.

CONCLUSIONS

Despite evidence that racism and perceived discrimination heighten the inflammatory response and CMD, few evidence-based interventions are available to help minorities cope with unique stressors associated with being a minority. This study will be one of the first to examine a race-based stress reduction intervention in the AA woman population and has the potential to improve the health of minorities faced with the chronic stress associated with racism and discrimination.

Produzindo textos escritos na alfabetização inicial
Authors: Magalhães Luciane Manera , Vargas Suzana Lima
Published: August 2024

O ato de escrever na alfabetização inicial tem sido ressignificado nos últimos anos. Acreditamos que esse fato se deve às contribuições da Psicogênese, das Teorias Linguísticas e da publicação dos PCNs de Língua Portuguesa, os quais subsidiaram a construção de uma concepção de língua enquanto atividade social e um novo olhar para o conceito de texto e o ensino da produção de textos. Discutimos os direitos de aprendizagem de Língua Portuguesa postulados pelo Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa, os quais apontam para uma concepção de texto enquanto processo, por meio da análise de situações de ensino que contemplam as diferentes etapas da produção de textos (planejar, escrever, revisar, reescrever). Ainda com base nos eixos de ensino da Língua Portuguesa, demonstramos que escrever na escola significa ir muito além de se preocupar com aspectos normativos, é preciso considerar os aspectos discursivos e textuais que reafirmam a essência interativa da linguagem. Apresentamos situações didáticas propiciadoras da escrita em sala de aula, fundamentais para que a criança se sinta motivada e segura para escrever sua própria palavra, independente do nível de escrita em que se encontre.
Sobre crianças e borboletas: narrativas de aprendizagens no cotidiano da escola
Authors: Medeiros Andréa Borges
Published: August 2024

Interpretar como as crianças estabelecem noções de tempo pelo viés das narrativas sobre as suas experiências no cotidiano da escola é o propósito deste texto. Para trazer os seus olhares e os seus diferentes modos de significar o tempo, escolheu-se o gênero crônica pela sua dimensão narrativa, já que preserva, sob os mesmos critérios de valor, os grandes e pequenos acontecimentos para a escrita da história. O texto apresenta a experiência de crianças de sete anos quando do nascimento de várias borboletas na escola, como também as narrativas delas sobre a rememoração do vivido. Trata-se de um trabalho que abriu caminhos para uma pesquisa de doutorado que procurou investigar as dinâmicas da memória social das crianças. A perspectiva teórica que fundamenta as interpretações propostas tem em Walter Benjamin e Paul Ricoeur a sua maior referência no tocante a modos de ser na linguagem. Tais modos implicam em ser no tempo. Isso indica que a noção de tempo se apresenta associada à experiência narrativa. No campo pedagógico, as narrativas sobre as experiências vividas redimensionam perspectivas curriculares, uma vez que geram ações partilhadas sobre o conhecimento em construção nas relações cotidianas.

De acordo com Dewey, o autor defende que a pseudodemocracia econômica desenvolvida atualmente consiste na derrota da democracia política e social, bem como da genuína democracia econômica, e que a igualdade moral é incomensurável.
Gênese da confiança e educação para o “estar junto”
Authors: Vincent Hubert
Published: August 2024

Este artigo é uma análise de dois parágrafos da Teoria da Justiça de J. Rawls, § 70: A autoridade moral; § 71: A moral do grupo. Estes parágrafos me pareceram importantes porque há neles uma análise muito profunda e uma noção bastante heterodoxa de autoridade. Pode-se dizer que previamente não há nenhuma autoridade dada e sim uma relação em que a autoridade é construída ou não. Se esta relação depende de adultos, pode-se dizer que eles são responsáveis; no entanto, é, em um sentido muito especial, a noção de dependência. Finalmente, estes argumentos são fixados a uma certa imagem da subjetividade e uma reavaliação de passividade.

“Currículo e Cultura” ou sobre a formação de professores nos cursos de pedagogia
Authors: Abreu Geysa Spitz A. , Bazzo Jilvania Lima dos S.
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho está inserido em uma pesquisa mais ampla que vem discutindo a formação de professores da educação infantil e anos iniciais do ensino fundamental em nível superior. Considerando as contribuições conceituais e analíticas de Bourdieu (1978; 1983; 2001) relativas à formação cultural de estudantes advindos de distintas classes sociais, visa-se refletir acerca dos componentes curriculares para a formação de professores da educação básica. Valendo-se da abordagem qualitativa (MEKSENAS, 2003; CANDAU, 2000) como horizonte epistemológico, discute-se sobre a relação entre currículo, educação e cultura, compreende-se o perfil dos ingressantes dos cursos de licenciatura e busca-se entender os espaços e os tempos destinados à ampliação cultural dos graduandos. Para tanto, debate-se sobre uma experiência de formação inicial, no curso de Pedagogia de uma Universidade Pública do Estado de Santa Catarina, mediante a apreciação de algumas ações curriculares: atividades complementares, programas de curso/ensino e práticas de estágio curricular supervisionado. A partir dessa discussão, concebe-se a formação cultural dos futuros profissionais da educação como uma ação contínua e entende-se que, ao destinar tempo e espaço para a ampliação do repertório cultural dos licenciandos, os cursos de pedagogia contribuem para a promoção e o desenvolvimento da pessoa humana e, em última análise, para o fortalecimento da escola básica.

Estimation of Electrical Conductivity (EC) of Arpa River Based Soil of Bilaspur Chhattisgarh
Authors: Jain Dr. Rashmi
Published: August 2024

Abstract: This research explores the investigation and significance of electrical conductivity in the quality of agricultural soil. Soil electrical conductivity is an indirect measurement that is associated with several physical and chemical characteristics of soils. The electrical conductivity (EC) of the soil is directly correlated with the concentration of nutrients and inversely correlated with the soil depth. The soil electrical conductivity (EC) values are indicative of the salinity level in the soil. greater EC values correspond to greater salt concentrations in the soil, whereas lower EC values indicate lower salt concentrations. A total of six soil samples were collected from various points along the Arpa River and sent to the soil test laboratory for examination. All samples were analysed using conventional techniques. For this investigation, one of the crucial soil parameters that was taken into consideration is electrical conductivity (EC). The objective of this study is to assess agricultural land using electrical conductivity. The measured electrical conductivity ranges from 0.4 to 0.7 dS/m. The anticipated value is between 0 and 2 decisiemens per metre (dS/m). All soil samples exhibit a standard level of electrical conductivity. Soil electrical conductivity (EC) measurements and total dissolved solids (TDS) may be used to determine the necessary quantity of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) fertilisers
A Case Report of Vatarakta and Its Management through Ayurveda
Authors: Gaikar Dr. Aarti
Published: August 2024

Abstract: Ayurveda has mentioned various principles and treatment modalities. Also, it described various aspects and unique concepts of health in Ayurveda1 . Now a days, everyone is more predisposed to disorders which occurs due to the lifestyle choices & faulty dietary habits. Vatarakta is one of such lifestyle diseases, which typically affects Marma-asthi-sandhi (vital part of the body, bone, & joint). Due to the numerous etiological factors, there is vitiation of the vata and derangement of the rakta. The vitiated rakta produces hindrances to the pathway of the vata. Thus, this obstruction to the vata in siras (blood vessels) by rakta causes further aggravation of the vata. Which again vitiates the rakta. That leads to the onset of the disease Vatarakta. The ailment is described by a number of synonyms, including Vatarakta, Khudavata, Vatabalasa, and Adhyavata. Vatarakta vyadhi has been thoroughly described by Acharya Charaka. Acharya Sushruta has outlined Vatarakta disease under the concept of Vatavyadhi Adhyaya, which is named as ‘Vatashonita’

Authors: Gibran Rizki Nabil , Nursandi Fatimah , Zakia Aulia
Published: August 2024

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important food commodities for human nutritional needs. The amount of rice consumption per capita per week in 2017 was 1,571 (BPS, 2018). Population growth over time has resulted in increased demand for rice in Indonesia. Therefore, the demand for rice by the Indonesian people is very high. The problem is that the demand for local rice in Indonesia is still low, so one way to meet the demand for rice in Indonesia is through imports. Utilization of water and land resources is one of the common challenges faced in realizing national food security (Fita et al., 2013). Low productivity of rice plants is generally caused by biological, physical, and chemical soil problems. One of the efforts to increase the productivity of rice plants is by utilizing biological resources such as biofertilizers.The objectives of this study were to determine the appropriate dose of biofertilizer that will affect the growth of rice plants, determine the combination of biofertilizer and application interval that affects the growth of rice plants, and determine the effect of biofertilizer application on 2 varieties of rice plants (Ciherang and IR 64). The design used in this study was a factorial complete randomized block design (RKLT) to determine the interaction and effect of each factor. Then DMRT (Duncan's test) was conducted to determine the best treatment. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the interaction between biofertilizer treatment and rice varieties had significant effects on almost all observed variables except stem diameter at 70 HST, number of clumps at 42 HST, number of productive tillers, and weight of planted seeds. The combination of biofertilizer treatment and rice variety had inconsistent effects on growth parameters and rice yield.

Authors: Dani Erfan , Maftuchah  , Kurniawan Yoga Andi
Published: August 2024

The study investigates the nutritional composition of soybeans, emphasizing their richness in calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and folic acid. Soybeans are highlighted as a significant source of essential amino acids, proteins, and vegetable oils, with dried soybeans comprising 34% protein, 19% oil, 34% carbohydrates (including 17% dietary fiber), and 5% minerals. The environmental conditions crucial for soybean cultivation are discussed, underscoring the need for a balance between air temperature and humidity influenced by rainfall. Optimal conditions, characterized by high air temperatures and low humidity, are essential for quality soybean production. Despite increasing domestic demand, Indonesia imports soybeans to meet its needs. To address this issue, the study proposes a solution involving the application of rhizobacteria to enhance soybean productivity. The research aims to assess the impact of various bacterial isolates on the productivity of Dega1 and Anjasmara soybean varieties, exploring potential interactions between rhizobacterial isolates and soybean varieties. Employing a factorial RAK Split Plot experimental design with two factors (variety and treatment) and three repetitions, the study reveals that rhizobacteria-treated soybean plants exhibit increased productivity, with more leaves and greater height compared to the control. The abundance of leaves contributes to additional branches and flowers, ultimately enhancing pod development on soybean plants.

Authors: Fitroni Achmad Syakur , Iriany Aniek , Ishartati Erny
Published: August 2024

The study conducted at the Integrated Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, University of Muhammadiyah Malang, aimed to formulate granule and liquid biofertilizers for corn cultivation on dry land in Indonesia, covering 144.47 million hectares. Corn is a crucial agricultural commodity in the country, aligning with the Sustainable Food Self-Sufficiency Policy program. Fertilizers, especially biological ones with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), play a pivotal role in enhancing both the quality and quantity of corn production. The research utilized a Nested Split Plot Design, considering varying levels of drought stress (100%, 70%, and 40% of field capacity) and bacterial density (control, 10^9, 10^8, and 10^7). Results indicated no significant interaction between granular and liquid fertilizer densities across different field capacities. While the PGPR consortium in both fertilizer types showed limited effectiveness in boosting maize growth and yield, the highest average performance was observed at a density of 10^7. Additionally, certain stress levels did not contribute to increased maize growth and yield, except for the 100% field capacity treatment. It was noted that extreme temperatures, reaching up to 54°C in the plastic house, might have hindered the expected interaction. Plant growth tends to decrease drastically below 15°C or above 40°C, as these temperatures activate physical and chemical processes in plants. The study underscores the importance of considering environmental factors in optimizing biofertilizer effectiveness for sustainable corn cultivation on Indonesian dry land.

The ridge gourd plant (Luffa acutangula L.), native to India, thrives in Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia, and holds significant value in traditional medicine. This study, conducted from September to December 2022 on PT Aditya Sentana Agro's experimental land, aimed to identify superior genotypes with high yield potential for ridge gourd production. Employing a Completely Randomized Group Design with one factor (genotype) and three replications, the research focused on qualitative (e.g., stem and leaf characteristics, flower and fruit attributes) and quantitative variables (e.g., leaf width, stem dimensions, flowering and harvest age, fruit dimensions, weight, yield, and storability). Notable findings include variations in fruit skin color as a qualitative trait. In terms of quantitative traits, certain variables such as leaf width, male flowering age, harvest age, fruit diameter, fruit length, and weight per fruit did not exhibit significant differences among genotypes. To enhance ridge gourd production, the study suggests the development of varieties with high yields and early maturation. This could contribute to the plant's adaptability in both highland and lowland environments. The comprehensive evaluation of qualitative and quantitative traits provides valuable insights for selecting the best candidate varieties to improve ridge gourd cultivation and productivity.

The germination phase of sugarcane is a pivotal stage crucial for successful cultivation. Seeds derived from six to eight-month-old gardens, obtained from protrusions of sugarcane stems, are employed. These seeds exhibit characteristics of dormant buds, contributing to their suitability for germination. A single sugarcane stem typically harbors a minimum of 13 buds, and the selection of seeds with 2-8 eyes per spike is customary among farmers. However, excessive bud usage may lead to abnormal seed growth, underscoring the importance of careful selection. The study employs the rase cage test system, dividing the sugarcane stem into upper, middle, and bottom sections to determine the optimal bud quantity in each treatment. The research investigates the response of different parts of sugarcane bud chip stems to varying concentrations of coconut water growth regulator during germination. Utilizing a factorial randomized block design, the study comprises two factors: Bud chip (BA: Upper Stem, BT: Middle Stem, BB: Bottom Stem) and coconut water growth regulator concentration (Z1: 25%, Z2: 50%, Z3: 75%, Z4: 100%). Positive control involves Agrogibb at a concentration of 120 ppm, with all treatments soaked for six hours. Conducted at the Indonesian Sugar Plantation Research Center on January 10, 2023, the study reveals that the BBZ1 treatment significantly affects the observed parameter of shoot emergence, with an average of 8.1 days. Conversely, the BAZ1 treatment exhibits the fastest and most efficient shoot emergence, with an average of 5.1 days, outperforming other treatments. These findings underscore the importance of careful selection and treatment in the germination phase for optimal sugarcane productivity.
Clarice e Kafka: uma “condição sitiada” no labirinto da modernidade
Authors: Cunha Wesclei Ribeiro da
Published: August 2024

humana, destacando do confronto entre o extraordinário e o ordinário, a existência do “homem comum”, partem da simples realidade do cotidiano. Lucrécia Neves, na medida em que São Geraldo se moderniza, assemelha-se ao modelo de “homem comum”, conforme considera Hannah Arendt acerca dos heróis kafkianos, os quais “desmascaram as estruturas ocultas da sociedade, que frustra as necessidades mais banais e destrói as mais elevadas intenções do homem” (ARENDT: 2008, p. 103). Nessa perspectiva, o “homem de boa vontade” revela as falhas de uma sociedade dividida entre ordinários e extraordinários, questão fundamental que também se apresenta na poética de Clarice Lispector, conforme destacaremos tanto na relação entre Rodrigo S.M. e Macabéa, como entre G.H. e Janair. Enquanto máscara ficcional clariceana, a trajetória de Lucrécia Neves, em sua permanente busca para ir além dos “muros imaginários” que sitiam São Geraldo, apresenta o desafio do desprendimento, por meio do qual podemos inferir a experiência enfrentada pela própria família Lispector com o intuito de fugir dos pogroms. Conforme destaca Clarice Lispector (1999, p. 165), “Minha condição é muito pequena”, logo há um descompasso paradoxal nesta “condição de manca” que nos permite questionar se seria mesmo possível alcançarmos nesta vida uma “alma já formada”, questionamento que impulsionou o início desta pesquisa. Compreendendo a tessitura poética clariceana enquanto um campo prismático, enfatizamos a natureza complexa das narrativas da escritora, com o intuito de analisar este “descompasso paradoxal” entre os âmbitos da introspecção e da exterioridade, no limiar dos quais verificaremos o caráter indissociável entre os alegóricos “muros” introspectivos das personagens, construídos por convenções sociais e morais, que sitiam a condição humana.

Man Ra’ani fi al-Manam Fasayarani fi al-Yaqdhah was the popular hadits examined the blessed for those who sees the Prophet PBUH in a dream, indeed will see him while awake. It’s seems likewise a clue that each person in each generation blessed the same experience with whom saw him in his life relatively. In addition, this hadits prevalently discuss in Sufism writings and literatures. One of them is Sirr al-Asrar wa Madhhar al-Anwar a masterpiece work written by Shaikh ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Jaylany. This research exercise to find the examination of Shaikh ‘Abd al-Qadir toward the hadits from Sufis tradition approach. Chapter twenty second in Sirr al-Asrar elaborated in detail the evidence proven of dream and waking fullness. Syaikh ‘Abd Qadir al-Jaylani recorded from various hadits that the truthfull dream obviously one of indication of prophetic. He affirmed the limitations belong to the truthfull dream (ru’yat al-shalihat) experienced esotericly by each inner faculties such as al-qalb, al-nafs and al-ruh throught precious vision. Instead the experience also symbolized lower character in particular despicable visions. This kind of method applied for truthull reality restrictly.
Los testimonios de las personas lisiadas de guerra de El Salvador. Régimen local de sufrimiento, estandarización estatal y mentiras
Authors: Alas López Adriana
Published: August 2024

Este artículo reflexiona sobre los testimonios de las personas lesionadas durante la guerra civil salvadoreña (1980-1992). Estos son entendidos como un acto performativo. En la comunidad de Los Pinos se establece un régimen local de sufrimiento que otorga prestigio y estatus a la población con base en sus testimonios de lucha durante la guerra. Simultáneamente, circulan rumores de que personas exinsurgentes y certificadas como lisiadas de guerra le han mentido sobre sus cicatrices a la institución que ejecuta la Ley de Lisiados de Guerra. A partir de la propuesta teórica de John Austin y de la concepción del testimonio de Jacques Derrida, analizo las condiciones favorables en las que el testimonio es creído tanto por las personas funcionarias como por las simpatizantes del imaginario revolucionario, y las implicaciones que la mentira tendría o tiene en su credibilidad ante ambas audiencias.
Usos de la creatividad en la vida cotidiana de bailarinas madres en Buenos Aires
Authors: Verdenelli Juliana
Published: August 2024

En este trabajo busco delimitar ciertas tácticas y usos específicos de la creatividad, tal como pude evidenciarlos durante una investigación etnográfica sobre los balances entre la profesión y la maternidad de bailarinas de tango y de danza contemporánea en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina. En el trabajo de campo realizado entre 2014 y 2020 encontré que las prácticas dancísticas de estas mujeres de sectores medios urbanos estaban surcadas por otros actos creativos, como la organización y combinación de horarios dentro y fuera del hogar, el despliegue de nuevas habilidades y reflexividades vinculadas con la experiencia materna o la ocupación táctica de los espacios dancísticos. Se concluye que estos usos de la creatividad les permitían a estas mujeres ensayar otros modos de articulación entre las diferentes esferas de sus vidas cotidianas y poner en práctica un sentido procesual y relacional de la creatividad que valoraba sus aspectos corporales y vivenciales.
“¿Me entiendes?”. Impases y burocracia, la (des)protección a lxs periodistas en México
Authors: Escobedo Aguirre Virginia Marisol
Published: August 2024

El caso de Armando, un periodista perseguido que no es admitido en el Mecanismo de Protección para defensorxs de derechos humanos y periodistas en México, es la pauta para discutir cómo, en la interacción, se gesta la decisión soberana de dejar a alguien expuestx a la muerte. La causa de que el programa lo rechace, sugiero, es el impase entre Armando y lxs funcionarixs durante el proceso de evaluación. El impase puede rastrearse en la puesta en escena de dos géneros discursivos distintos, en los cuales surge el no-entendimiento del otro. Mi acercamiento etnográfico al estado a través del análisis de la performance y el lenguaje pone en evidencia, por un lado, la dificultad y la densidad de la interacción entre Armando y lxs funcionarixs y, por otro, cómo la decisión soberana de proteger o no a alguien es coconstruida a través del lenguaje y de sus momentos de desencuentro o impases.
