Fish Encounters
Authors: Braverman Irus
Published: July 2021

The extensive body of social science and humanities scholarship on zoos rarely discusses aquariums. Despite their independent historical trajectory and unique characteristics and challenges, aquariums are typically considered the younger sister to the more established terrestrial zoo institutions. This article is an initial exploration of modern public aquariums through the eyes of these institutions’ veterinarians, a small but rapidly growing, and quite influential, professional cohort. Drawing on in-depth interviews with a handful of aquarium veterinarians in various sites — including the United States, Canada, Israel, Portugal, Denmark, and Germany — the article documents some of the everyday challenges that these medical practitioners face when attempting to manage the health and wellbeing of captive marine animals. Their feet in several worlds, aquarium veterinarians must balance their medical training and animal welfare sensibilities with the specific nature of the aquatic animals under their care, and also with the understanding of their evolving responsibilities toward ocean conservation. For these professionals, the rights-welfare-conservation approaches to animal care are not abstract ideas but rather real-life situations that dictate their actual modes of practice in caring for marine animals. This can only be an initial study and thus highlights the need for additional scholarly work in the social sciences and humanities on aquariums, their wet forms of life, and the challenges— as well as the opportunities — that their management poses to the human caretakers of this space. This scholarly need is especially acute in light of the declining state of extant species and ecosystems in the world’s seas. Public aquariums and their veterinarians will arguably perform increasingly important roles in the conservation of our blue planet.
A Question of Sex
Authors: Vaught Jeannette
Published: July 2021

Quarter Horses are considered one of the earliest and most enduringly popular breeds of horse that is “native” to the United States.

The American Quarter Horse Association formed as a breed registry in 1940, and set clear rules for what horses could be called Quarter Horses in its stud book. In 1940, no reliable methods of human-assisted equine reproduction existed, so the stud book rules governing acceptable horse congress were designed to regulate physical sexual encounters between horses in order to prevent genetic fraud. However, in a more recent age of DNA identification and the proliferation of reproductive technologies, the AQHA studbook’s rules for equine mating have come under pressure. 

In fact, after several years of legal back-and-forth on whether to allow cloned horses to be eligible for AQHA registration, the AQHA denied that clones could be Quarter Horses, and rewrote its studbook parentage requirements to explicitly state that a registered horse must have two parents — one male, one female.  Echoing the rhetoric of contemporary anti-gay marriage legislation such as the 1998 Defense of Marriage Act, the AQHA objected to the inherent queerness of cloning, and retreated to conservative ideas of an offspring’s legitimacy. This essay traces the contentious debate about the place of cloning in a breed-defining studbook -- one that is historically invested in American cultural traditions tied to conservative definitions of family and kin (whether human or animal) that support heteronormative sex. The example of Quarter Horse cloning situates this technology as a key marker of the biological Anthropocene, and illuminates cultural ideas that have shaped what it means to breed and to be a breed.  Cloning cracks open the foundations — genetic and cultural — that have supported the ties between “America” and “America’s Horse,” and offers a broader examination of its redemptive potential in light of its challenge to conservative definitions of a life form’s legitimacy based on its parentage.
The Praxis of Horse Riding – An Autoethnographic Study
Authors: Zetterqvist Blokhuis Mari
Published: July 2021

In an autoethnographic approach, theories of practical knowledge were used to explore the praxis of riding and to describe, interpret, and analyze the interspecies relation between rider and horse during riding. Both rider and horse are embodied subjects taking part in an active process of “becoming with”, and as a result of the interaction, both parts change and adapt to each other resulting in a shared practical knowledge. To build a trustful relation during riding, the rider’s as well as the horse’s emotions and feelings need to be taken into account. It is suggested that there are two kinds of “equestrian feel”, one connected to the rider’s body feeling of the horse through his/her body while the other is an “inner” equestrian feel when rider and horse move as one body, like a centaur. The latter could be seen as an expression of phronesis since it is guided by what is good for the human (and hopefully the horse) in itself rather than aiming at a specific outcome.

The Domestic Chicken as Legal Fiction
Authors: Crenshaw Estée
Published: July 2021

This paper explores the legal fictions surrounding the domestic chicken and its place in animal agriculture through a comparison of law and cultural narrative. The legal fictions examined are that of chickens as already dead, chickens as things, and chickens as a collective. Through examination of these fictions, a narrative of cruelty arises that questions the current treatment of domestic chickens in animal agriculture.
What is Philosophical Ethology?
Authors: Marchesini Roberto
Published: July 2021

In this paper, Marchesini engages first of all with both traditional and contemporary accounts of nonhuman subjectivity in order to show the untenability of such explanations based either upon an anthropomorphic “projection” of the human onto the nonhuman, or else upon a reductionist modeling of the animal as a machine. Ultimately, argues Marchesini, these explanations are founded upon a flawed principle of res extensa that can no longer be maintained. In order to place the question of animal subjectivity upon firm ground, Marchesini argues that it is necessary to move away from this Cartesian “automatism-based model,” and replace it instead with an “instrument-based model” that will better allow us to understand animal subjectivity — human and nonhuman — as emerging from within a complex neurobiological system that functions through specific activations of its systemic network structure. As such, he continues, subjectivity is necessarily situated, that is to say, every “subject” is an unpredictable manifestation of a unique and systemic state and emerging into being in accordance with the unique positional-relational state of the body in and of the here-and-now. Ultimately, Marchesini argues, all living beings share an emergent subjectivity, that the animal, be it human and/or nonhuman, is a subject because it exists, and as such does so not as a machine, but as a unique individual caught up in all the desires, emotions, feelings and memories that the world has to offer.

Revising Posthumanist Aesthetics in the Ethical Treatment of Nonhuman Animals
Authors: Sherbert Michael G.
Published: July 2021

Even with the increasing awareness of the importance of nonhuman animal life there remains an entrenched multitude of humanistic biases that hinder the development of the ways we see and treat nonhuman animals.  This article examines Cary Wolfe’s posthumanist approach, which seeks to bring about a more inclusive nonhuman animal ethics by de-privileging the human species, and in doing so, identifies an impeding factor for the practical application of his proposal. Wolfe’s proposal for engaging a de-hierarchized sensorium requires the supplementation of a more relentless interrogation of human sight, specifically, the interrogation of the biases that come with human sight. In other words, this article identifies a humanist bias unaccounted for by Wolfe, the preference for the aesthetically pleasing, which impedes the possibility of realizing a more inclusive ethical framework towards nonhuman animals. The human aesthetic preference for beautiful, entertaining, and powerful animals does violence to animal species lacking these characteristics by excluding them from public purview, and in turn, from the support required to keep many of these species from extinction. In addition, a preliminary prescription is offered which argues for the paradoxical use of the humanist aesthetic bias against ourselves for ourselves, so as to open up humanity’s purview in hopes of a more inclusive ethics to come. In subjecting ourselves to such a manipulative attack we engage in a Derridean autoimmune process which opens humanity up to the nonhuman other by employing a posthumanist conception of care.
Animal Activism and the Zoo-Networked Nation
Authors: Vandersommers Daniel
Published: July 2021

The first American zoos commanded the attention of early animal activists around the turn of the twentieth century. This essay argues that all zoogoers in the first zoos took part in popularizing a discourse about both animal welfare and “animal rights.” This essay also posits that as zoos were networked together, so were their accompanying “activists.” As zoos became a centerpiece of the American city, they simultaneously established public forums for the rethinking of animals.
Sugarbag Dreaming
Authors: Fijn Natasha
Published: July 2021

Bees, with their ability to make sweet tasting honey, have been highly valued across many human cultures spanning thousands of years. In relation to western husbandry techniques, honeybees (Apidae) have been domesticated by humans to produce honey in large quantities for human consumption. The focus of this paper is not on the well-known, widespread honeybee but a close family relative of the Apidae, the smaller, stingless bee (Meliponidae). For Yolngu living on country, in the homeland communities of northeast Arnhem Land, Australia the relationship with these local, endemic bees is quite different from the large-scale beekeeping industry used to pollinate major agricultural crops. A highly anticipated activity is sugarbag season where Yolngu men, women and children undertake excursions into the bush in search of these tiny bees to extract honey. The bee is celebrated through “Sugarbag Dreaming”: in song, dance, painting and ceremony. This paper examines some of the ways that people and bees converge in Arnhem Land. Through the many layers of meaning, the paper aims to demonstrate how Yolngu philosophy recognises bees as being an integral part of an interconnected and complex ecology.
Animating the Corpse
Authors: McCown Julie
Published: July 2021

This essay argues that the physicality and materiality of the animal puppets in Ladislas Starewitch’s 1937 stop motion film The Tale of the Fox enable a nuanced, complex consideration of representations of real animal bodies that I define as “sutured hybridity.” Within The Tale of the Fox’s narrative, production, and distribution, a series of four sutures (medieval past/technologically mediated future, animal/human, alive/dead, and humanist/posthumanist discourse) arise in the animal puppets, who exist as sutured hybrid beings that occupy an intermediary zone where binaries converge. Each suture builds on the previous one, creating a multi-faceted state of sutured hybridity that reveals how human-animal interactions primarily revolve around animal subjugation and agency. I also contrast The Tale of the Fox with Wes Anderson’s 2009 stop motion film Fantastic Mr. Fox which reinforces the complexity and contradictions of The Tale of the Fox’s depiction of animal bodies and the animal puppets’ status as sutured hybrid beings that allow us to confront our moral and ethical responsibility to real animal bodies in a way not possible with previous critical interpretations of animal representation.
“The Simple Magic of Life”
Authors: Weisberg Zipporah
Published: July 2021

This paper explores the important contribution phenomenology can make to animal ethics. The underlying assumption is that animal ethics is as strong as the conception of animal ontology it takes for granted. I contend that Peter Singer’s reductive ontology of animals as suffering beings leads him astray not least because it prevents him from opposing killing animals as a matter of principle. Other leading ethicists such as Martha Nussbaum and Tom Regan offer more nuanced accounts of animal ontology and correspondingly richer theories of justice and rights, but they do not go far enough. Nussbaum even contradicts her own theory of capabilities by also refusing to refuse killing. Marc Bekoff, Jonathan Balcombe, and other ethologists, on the other hand, do a marvellous job of filling in the gaps in our understanding of the complexity of animals’ emotional, social, and moral lives. Not surprisingly, as a result of their insights into animal ontology, they categorically reject killing animals and advocate for the total transformation of their conditions of existence. Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology of embodiment, I suggest here offers another crucial inroad into a more meaningful and robust animal ethics by illuminating the complex perceptual dimensions of animal subjectivity.
“Riding up forested mountain sides, in wide open spaces, and with walls”
Authors: Davis Dona Lee , Maurstad Anita , Cowles Sarah
Published: July 2021

Multi-species ethnography calls for new ways of engaging the contact zones or areas of entanglements among humans and other species. A number of studies identify and describe the roles of embodiment and bonding in developing a sense of partnership or co-being between horse and rider that challenge hegemonic dualisms of horse-human or nature-culture. Less attention is paid to potential roles that the local physical environment or terrain where riding takes place can play in the development of particular horse-human relationships. Informed by a grounded practice theory approach, analysis of narrative data collected in sixty open-ended interviews with US Midwestern and north Norwegian horse people, who participate in different equestrian sports and ride within a variety of local settings, demonstrates complex ways in which terrains ridden effect a complex series of interwoven constructions of shared ecologies of horse-rider relations, identities, and psyches. Riding venues for this study include walled arenas, open spaces of the Great Plains, and forested mountains of Arctic Norway, wherein riders and horse enact their selves as highly schooled, deep thinkers; fearless, adrenaline junkies; self-pacing, heroic stoics, and/or as connoisseurs of nature’s versatility.
Tolvaptan in Hyponatremia – A Pharmacologic approach
Authors: Paul Anna , R Lakshmi
Published: July 2021

Tolvaptan is the first orally active vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist approved by FDA in 2009 for the treatment of clinically significant hypervolemic and euvolemic hyponatremia associated with heart failure, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, liver cirrhosis. Binding of vasopressin to V2 receptors which are located on renal collecting duct cells were competitively inhibited by Tolvaptan thus prevents vasopressin-mediated activation of these receptors and leads to an increase in the water permeability of the collecting duct causing an increase in the concentration of urine, results in an increase in free water clearance, a decrease in urine osmolality and a fall in serum sodium concentration. Tolvaptan is different from other conventional diuretics because it does not stimulate the sodium channel and increases free water excretion without affecting urinary sodium and potassium excretion. It is metabolized principally via the cytochrome P 450 (CYP 3A) isoenzymes and is eliminated by routes other than renal. Concurrent administration of tolvaptan with ketoconazole or other strong CYP 3A inhibitor decrease the total clearance of tolvaptan and increases tolvaptan concentrations. Urine sodium potassium ratio, weight loss, soluble CD14, urinary aquaporin 2 levels are known predictors of tolvaptan response. Tolvaptan is associated with decreased cost and high effectiveness.

A Study of Word-Color Association for Pakistani and American Cultures
Authors: Abdullah Ahsan
Published: July 2021

Every region has its own culture, values and traditions that are unique for that region and that vary from region to region and country to country. These cultural differences are also reflected in the choice and association of color; concept word association is one of those differences. In this paper, we study the color related cultural similarities and dissimilarities between United States of America (USA) and Pakistan (PK). The study is based on 8 questions asked from 280 respondents (184 USA and 96 PK) for three concept words i.e., high quality, reliable, cheap and color disliked and liked with reference to 10 colors using the RGB model. After external data validation subsequent analysis showed high similarity of word-color association between respondents from USA and PK for the amber colors i.e., yellow, brown and orange for like-dislike and cheap-dislike but clear disparity for black (high quality) and blue (like-reliable). This information could be useful for multinational companies for tailoring their digital marketing campaigns accordingly.

هدفت الدراسة إلى التعرف على التأثير الاجتماعي لمستخدمي تطبيق "TikTok" من الشباب السعودي وأسباب إدمانه ومخاطره وأثره، وعلاقة ذلك برأس المال الاجتماعي بأنواعه المختلفة (العابر، التواصلي، الترابطي)، بالإضافة إلى التعرف على المتغيرات الوسيطة في تحقيق رأس المال الاجتماعي. واعتمدت الدراسة على نظرية رأس المال الاجتماعي “Social Capital Theory” في تقديم تفسير الدور الذي يؤديه تطبيق "TikTok" في تعزيز العلاقات والثقة والتعاون بين الشباب السعودي، ولذلك استخدمت الدراسة أسلوب منهج مسح الجمهور من خلال استمارة الاستقصاء، وقد بلغت عينة الدراسة (345) مفردة من الشباب السعودي، وخرجت الدراسة بعدد من النتائج المهمة منها:

يستخدم الشباب السعودي تطبيق "TikTok" بمستوى متوسط، مع وجود فروق في كثافة الاستخدام تبعاً للنوع، وذلك بالزيادة لدى الإناث.

نسبة كبيرة من الشباب السعودي تستخدم أسماء مستعارة، وصوراً تعبيرية أكثر من استخدامهم صورهم الشخصية في الملف التعريفي للحساب على تطبيق "TikTok".

يعد رأس المال الاجتماعي التواصلي والعابر للشباب السعودي على تطبيق "TikTok" متوسطاً مع تفوق رأس المال الاجتماعي العابر؛ ما يعني أن الشباب يوظفون التطبيق بدرجة أعلى في التواصل مع الأشخاص الغرباء أو المختلفين عنهم.

لم يستخدم الشباب السعودي تطبيق "TikTok" كثيراً في التواصل مع الأقارب والزملاء، والأشخاص الذين يرتبطون بهم بروابط وثيقة.

وجود علاقة ارتباطية طردية قوية بين إدمان الشباب السعودي لتطبيق "TikTok" ومعدلات تحقيق رأس المال الاجتماعي (العلاقة العابرة – العلاقة التواصلية- العلاقة الترابطية).

The Electronic Press Dealt with The Issue of Poverty in Sudan
Authors: Hamza Mohammed Saleh Dr.Naheed
Published: July 2021

The increase in poverty rates from ancient times to the present day is considered one of the most complex, measured and read issues. Poverty directly affects the individual and society in all economic, psychological, educational, health, cultural and political aspects as well, and it is one of the main reasons for the eruption of major political revolutions in Sudan and other regions.  All this made the Sudanese electronic press deal with the issue of poverty extensively, as it is an extremely complex social phenomenon that exhausts nations and peoples.

This study dealt with how the Sudanese electronic press deals with the issue of poverty and its contributions to address this phenomenon that affects all aspects of human life, through two main chapters: Chapter One: Electronic Journalism and the Issue of Poverty and Social Change. This chapter discusses writing and editing poverty issues in electronic journalism.  As well as the electronic press explanations of the causes of poverty in Sudan.

 The second chapter deals with fieldwork, methodological aspects and content analysis.  Where an applied study was presented on the Sudanese newspaper Akhbar Al-Youm website, then the conclusion comes with the results and recommendations that concluded on the importance of making media and technical efforts in the Sudanese electronic press, and working on highlighting the press material that deals with poverty issues, in addition to the need to adopt programs that help in addressing these issues.

Research results: The phenomenon that occurs in the overseas Kei community in Jayapura city has experienced a degradation of its original culture, namely the Kei culture, where many of the Kei young generation, especially those who grew up in Jayapura City and who are mixed Kei people (one of their parents is not Kei), cannot speak Kei, this results in an inability to master the customary law of Larvul Ngabal, as well as the younger generation who can speak the Kei area (Veveu Evav) unable to master the contents of the law.  On the other hand, there is a strengthening of religious elements so that it erodes the existence of Larvul Ngabal customary law which without realizing that this customary law can unite various religions in the Kei community. The fundamental conflict is only related to the sanctions imposed by customary law which are still very burdensome for the Kei people, there is also an opinion that if the Kei culture is carried out in overseas areas, the use of caste in custom must be reopened.

Authors: BAYTİMUR Tuğba , ÇAKI Caner
Published: July 2021

İkinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında ABD’deki Yahudi diasporası, Avrupa’da baskıcı politikalara maruz kalan Yahudilere yönelik ABD kamuoyunun dikkatini çekmeye çalışmıştır. Bu amaçla ABD’deki Yahudi diasporası tarafından 1943 yılında kurulan Avrupa Yahudi Halkını Kurtarmaya Yönelik Acil Durum Komitesi (The Emergency Committee to Save the Jewish People of Europe) Avrupa’daki Yahudilere yönelik farkındalık oluşturulması amacıyla propaganda pulları hazırlamıştır. Çalışmada komite bağlamında İkinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında ABD’deki Yahudi diasporasının, Avrupa’daki Yahudi diasporasına yönelik söylemlerinin ortaya konulmasına çalışmıştır. Bu amaçla komite tarafından hazırlanan propaganda pulları, göstergebilim yöntemi üzerinden analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgularda pullar üzerinden Nazi Almanya’sının işgali altında Yahudi diasporasının baskıya maruz kaldığına vurgu yapılarak, kamuoyunda hüzün duygusu oluşturulmaya çalışıldığı ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Komitenin gerçekleştirdiği propaganda sonucunda Müttefik Devletleri’nin askerlerinin Alman ordusuna karşı savaşma isteğinin arttırılmaya çalışıldığı ileri sürülebilmektedir.
Warfield, Infallibility, and the Westminster Confession
Authors: Hood Jared
Published: July 2021

To what degree is A. A. Hodge’s and especially B. B. Warfield’s understanding of inerrancy consistent with the Westminster Confession? Does their emphasising of truthfulness as a dominating quality of Scripture correlate with the Confession’s perspective? Is their concept of the unerring ancient texts present in the Confession? Did they retreat from what the Confession says about the purity of the extant original-language copies of Scripture? It is argued that the answer to all three questions is broadly in the affirmative, with appropriate qualifications.
Sub-National policy readiness as regards the planet’s carrying capacity and environmental sustainability in Kenya
Authors: Muthama Nzioka John
Published: July 2021

The achievement of global sustainable development goals subject to planetary boundaries will mostly be determined at national  and at sub-national level as regards contribution to cultures, economies, material use, and waste generation. This paper seeks to investigate planetary and Kenya’s county boundaries as development targets from a county development plan perspective.  The methodology provides an important tool for counties to play a more fulsome and active role in global sustainable development. Content analysis of the  nine limits, namely: climate change, novel entities, ozone depletion, aerosol loading, ocean acidification, biogeochemical flows, freshwater use, land-system change, and biosphere integrity, was performed in the context of  the  respective County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs) 2018-2023. A total of 22 CIDPs for 22 counties are analysed to capture the content entailing issues pertaining to the above nine limits. Correlation analysis of the counts of the limits were generated and discussed. It was observed that the CIDPs cover between 30 to 60% of the expected content of the limits. This is a pointer to the extent to which the counties, and hence Kenya as a country, are ready as regards addressing planetary boundaries at local level. Further, correlation analysis on the counts on planetary boundaries versus peace issues revealed positive correlation between biodiversity and peace, with a correlation coefficient of 0.575. It is interesting to observe that the counties having strategies on biodiversity have associate peace initiatives. This is a pointer that promotion of biodiversity conservation is closely relate to peaceful outcomes.
La justicia en la narración: el caso de Antígonas Tribunal de Mujeres
Authors: López Plazas Nelsy Cristina
Published: July 2021

Antígonas Tribunal de Mujeres (2013) es una obra de teatro que emerge del trabajo colectivo entre artistas y mujeres víctimas del Estado colombiano. En este artículo planteo que Antígonas Tribunal es una representación que se pregunta a sí misma por el significado de la noción de justicia y reflexiona sobre su posibilidad de transformación y materialización a través del uso de la narración. Primero, se analizará cómo la noción de justicia se distancia de los términos retributivos y punitivos hegelianos. Luego, se examinará el punto de vista de las narradoras y el empleo de objetos para ensamblar las historias individuales que componen la obra, con el fin de establecer una relación entre estos elementos narrativos con el proceso de construcción de memoria y la noción de justicia propuesta en Antígonas Tribunal.
Músicas locales, construcción de paz y post-conflicto: el caso de Libertad (Sucre)
Authors: Rojas Juan Sebastián
Published: July 2021

Libertad, un pueblo costero afrocolombiano del Caribe, fue víctima de una ocupación paramilitar entre 1996 y 2004. Cuando se diseñó el plan de reparación colectiva de esta comunidad en 2007, éste incluyó iniciativas para rehabilitar las músicas locales (como el bullerengue) y otras expresiones tradicionales, con la convicción de que eran herramientas históricas para fortalecer la cohesión social. Debilitadas como consecuencia de la guerra, estas prácticas son hoy fuertes, pues los músicos locales las han rescatado y también transformado estratégicamente para crear nuevas expresiones que resuenan con estéticas populares urbanas contemporáneas, ejemplificando mecanismos locales que abordan creativamente situaciones de postconflicto, generando conexión y empatía.
Justicia transicional y pueblos indígenas en Colombia: breve genealogía de una intersección
Authors: Rivera Rodríguez Ginna Marcela
Published: July 2021

Este artículo da cuenta de un proceso de análisis sobre los pueblos indígenas, basado en el estudio documental y en el trabajo de campo etnográfico, que se interesa por las interacciones e intersecciones de las políticas e instituciones transicionales en Colombia durante los últimos quince años.  En el desarrollo de la agenda investigativa de los estudios críticos de las transiciones, se considera la perspectiva teórica que hace relevante la localización y problematización de la justicia transicional a partir del diálogo con las experiencias y los sentidos de la violencia, tal y como es vivida por comunidades locales como los Arhuacos de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
Las paradojas del tránsito: la experiencia de la verdad y el relato en los excombatientes de las Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia (AUC)
Authors: Restrepo Suesca Mauricio Andrés
Published: July 2021

Entre 2003 y 2006 se desmovilizaron las Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia (AUC) fruto de un proceso de paz con el gobierno de Álvaro Uribe Vélez. El cumplimiento de medidas de verdad, justicia y reparación convoca a un pequeño número de personas considerados máximos responsables de los delitos cometidos por los grupos paramilitares. Sin embargo, años después, los avatares jurídicos obligan a miles de exintegrantes de las AUC a cumplir tardíamente con estas medidas. Este articulo, desde una perspectiva etnográfica, aborda la experiencia de estas personas, en particular, su tránsito dentro los mecanismos establecidos para exigir su aporte a la verdad.

Desire and Curiosity in En Diciembre llegaban las brisas
Authors: Parga Linares Santiago
Published: July 2021

Marvel Moreno’s En diciembre llegaban las brisas is one of Colombia’s least studied masterpieces. Critical attention on her work has focused on the fraught interaction between female sexuality and patriarchal forces in society. However, while female sexual desire plays a key role in the novel, it is not the most important type of desire in the text. This article analyzes the various types of desire in En diciembre llegaban las brisas. It finds that curiosity (desire for knowledge) plays an essential role in the narrator’s emotional and artistic apprenticeship and is the novel’s structural principle. This understanding of curiosity in terms of desire sheds new light on Moreno’s work and could prove useful in the study of other similarly autobiographical texts.
La vorágine: Impunity, Memory and Human Rights
Authors: Duplat Alfredo , Molina Ochoa Andrés
Published: July 2021

Facing state institutions that neglected the prosecution of crimes against humanity, narrative fiction in Colombia is a privileged source to acknowledge those crimes. A notable example of this connection between impunity and narrative fiction is Rivera’s La vorágine (1924). The novel is not just a master narrative to denounce crimes against humanity but a fictional archive to fight against impunity. La vorágine fulfills a social function that echoes the human rights legal framework known as the right to the truth. This article bridges this type of narrative, which we call fictions of distrust and the right to the truth.
Anne Swing: procesos de construcción de identidad entre Palenque y el Gran Caribe
Authors: Gualdrón Andrés
Published: July 2021

Este texto aborda los procesos de construcción de identidad en la música afrocolombiana tomando como caso de estudio el álbum debut de la agrupación Anne Swing –fundada por el músico de San Basilio de Palenque Viviano Torres y lanzado en 1988. El texto desarrolla una discusión teórica en torno al concepto de identidad; posteriormente desglosa la historia y contenido del álbum; finalmente, analiza sus vínculos con la cultura palenquera, caribeña y con los imaginarios africanos de la champeta, mostrando cómo están condicionados por contextos como el de la etnodiversidad y pueden ser entendidos bajo la idea del “esencialismo estratégico”.
La inclusión laboral. Un compromiso pendiente hacia la comunidad LGBT+
Authors: Vázquez Parra José Carlos , Arredondo Trapero Florina
Published: July 2021

A pesar de los   avances en las políticas de inclusión en las empresas socialmente responsables, aún está pendiente analizar la manera en que se abordarán las limitantes en el desarrollo de ciertos grupos vulnerables. Se hizo una reflexión, a partir de una metodología de análisis de contenido de informes de responsabilidad social, respecto a las prácticas corporativas que han promovido la inclusión de colaboradores de la comunidad LGBT+. Se ha concluido que, aunque las empresas lleven a cabo actividades o planteen políticas internas, estas no necesariamente son percibidas como herramientas efectivas para difuminar las barreras que han limitado el desarrollo de los colaboradores de este colectivo.
