Simulando el saber: La saturación en los mundos de ficción ludonarrativos
Authors: Navarrete Cardero Luis , Vargas-Iglesias Juan José
Published: March 2019

Este artículo se propone emplear la teoría de mundos ficcionales para entender la condición estructural de los mundos revelados y no revelados en el videojuego. Para ello se acudirá a los índices de saturación intensional, o grados de conocimiento y comprensión del universo representado alcanzable por un jugador ideal, que pueden observarse en seis títulos delimitados como objetos de análisis. Estos índices, basados en los tipos de textura que ofrece cada ejemplo, determinan las formas en que las distintas combinaciones articulan el alcance heurístico del jugador en las modalidades epistémica y deóntica. Con ello este artículo pretende encontrar una perspectiva estructural de la naturaleza narrativa de las simulaciones de mundos interactivos, estableciendo así bases a partir de las cuales formular apreciaciones de las intensidades particulares.
Ser todo, ser nada
Authors: Navarro-Remesal Víctor
Published: March 2019

La identificación entre el jugador y el avatar está en el centro de numerosas reflexiones académicas, especialmente la función de este último como encarnación del primero (Klevjer, 2006). Entre otros, Alfonso Cuadrado (2008) analiza los sujetos de la serie Los Sims (Maxis, The Sims studio, 2000-2018) como juguetes virtuales, Daniel Vella (2015) ha teorizado sobre la diferencia entre «sujeto lúdico» y «yo lúdico» y Fernández-Vara (2008) estudia el juego como una performance basada en la restauración de comportamiento. Este artículo problematiza esta relación a partir de estas aproximaciones analíticas, añadiendo la teoría de la avataridad (Navarro-Remesal, 2016) y de la existencia de un jugador implícito en el diseño de todo juego (Aarseth, 2007), y se centra en casos límite que difuminan la concepción tradicional de avatar.

Una primera aproximación a producciones comerciales muestra que las avataridades límite no son excepcionales. Podemos encontrar juegos en los que el jugador controla a fantasmas sin cuerpo, como Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (Capcom, 2010), otros en los que cada vida se asocia a un individuo dentro de un colectivo, como Aliens: Infestation (WayForward, 2011), Reigns: Her Majesty (Nerial, 2017) o ZombiU (Ubisoft Montpellier, 2012) o en los que el avatar pierde su identidad, como Inside (Playdead, 2016). Recientemente, dos ejemplos han llevado esta avataridad expandida a versiones extremas: mientras que en Everything (David O’Reilly, 2017), el jugador puede tomar el control de todos los componentes del mundo y acceder a sus pensamientos, en Super Mario Odyssey (Nintendo EPD, 2017) el jugador puede usar una habilidad nueva de su protagonista para poseer a diferentes sujetos.

La ruptura de la equiparación entre jugador y personaje, ya sea mediante sustracción o adición, crea modelos de encarnación alternativa que nos hacen cuestionar los límites del avatar y contemplar una avataridad que abarca más elementos del mundo y el sistema. Hablamos así de estrategias de uno en muchos (un jugador controla a múltiples personajes), uno en nada (el jugador controla a seres incorpóreos o directamente a ausencias) y uno en todo (el jugador asume el control de elementos del mundo más allá de un avatar concreto), e incluso de giros conceptuales todavía más complejos como el muchos en uno o el nada en todo de los zero-player games. Así, la avataridad se difumina y reparte en todo el mundo videolúdico, haciendo que el jugador se identifique (como operador, espectador, actor y cómplice) con elementos que están más allá del avatar, y que éste no se limite a un único objeto y se revele como una serie de procesos conectados.

En total se presentan en este artículo 20 tipos de estrategias de avataridad expandida, aunque no pretende ser una tipología cerrada de categorías abstractas y normativas sino un repaso a usos prácticos en ejemplos concretos, atendiendo a su aportación a la construcción de significado implícita en el diseño del juego.

De cómo en el fragor de la batalla el entrometido dijo “hablemos” y por qué rara razón los contendientes, brazo en alto, detuvieron el gesto y el arma para escucharle/ No es cine para Hombres
Authors: Fernández Porta Eloy
Published: March 2019

El presente texto se sumerge en diversas obras cinematográficas, de ficción y documentales, principalmente, pero también musicales, sociológicas, fotográficas, filosóficas, teatrales, mediáticas..., para poner de manifiesto la subjetividad –masculina– que habita en ellas.  El decir del hombre hoy; el decirse y actuar como hombre hoy es diferente al decirse hombre y actuar como tal hace dos, tres o más décadas. El resultado, dice el texto, dice su autor, es un mundo vaciado de sustancia masculina.
América, el otro de Montaigne y Cervantes
Authors: Marinas Jose-Miguel
Published: March 2019

El presente texto reflexiona sobre la mirada que ve las Indias, que ve América. No tanto los detalles de su contenido nuevo, sino la construcción de una nueva manera de apreciar y reparar en el mundo que se produce por el radical acontecimiento del descubrimiento, conquista, colonización y explotación de las Indias Occidentales. Mirar la mirada, por tanto, es la tarea, y no tanto lo visto. Este ejercicio se centra en dos ejemplos cercanos y a la vez descomunales que son Michel de Montaigne y Miguel de Cervantes. Para ello, se darán tres pasos: (a) ligar la mirada americana y la modernidad del sur, (b) presentar algunos indicios y estructura del discurso americano en Montaigne (c) comparar con los indicios y estructura del discurso americano de Cervantes.
La subjetividad hecha norma: relatos y sistemas en los newsgames o videojuegos informativos
Authors: Peribáñez Faguas Santiago
Published: March 2019

El relato periodístico se construye sobre un fino encaje entre la buscada objetividad y la subjetividad del sujeto creador. Los grados de relación entre ambas partes han establecido unos géneros periodísticos que han ayudado a productores y consumidores a identificar cada pieza y las características de su mensaje. Tal taxonomía no resulta completamente operativa en un nuevo entorno donde proliferan formatos tales como los newsgames o videojuegos informativos; los distintos niveles del relato videolúdico asumen y muestran de formas muy diferentes las subjetividades del proceso creativo. El presente artículo desglosa en primer lugar los recursos del videojuego informativo que pueden impregnarse de esta subjetividad y cómo es mostrada al lector final. Como apoyo a esta explicación, la segunda parte del texto recoge el análisis de uno de los newsgames más complejos desarrollados en España: Montelab, obra del Lab RTVE.

Authors: Kundzer A. V.
Published: March 2019

Spondyloarthritis is a group of diseases characterized by a primarily chronic, progressive inﬂammatory process with the affection of the axial skeleton (spine and sacroiliac joints) and peripheral joints having some common etiopathogenetic and clinical signs. The modern concept of spondyloarthritis involves the isolation of predominantly axial and predominantly peripheral variants of the disease. The problem of spondyloarthritis is in the center of attention of the medical community. Studies of the leading rheumatological centers are devoted to the aspects of the onset and development of the disease, therapy and prevention of disease progression. Signifcant progress has been made in the treatment of spondyloarthritis. The article contains the current recommendations on the management of patients with axial spondylitis.

Introduction.Coal dust and coal fi ring products contain large amounts of carcinogenic chemicals (specifically benz[a]pyrene) that are different in influence on workers of coal mines and thermal power plants. Specific immune reactions to benz[a]pyrene therefore in these categories of workers can have specific features.Objective.To reveal features of antibodies specifi c to benz[a]pyrene formation in workers of coal mines and thermal power plants.Materials and methods.The study covered A and G class antibodies against benz[a]pyrene (IgA-Bp and IgG-Bp) in serum of 705 males: 213 donors of Kemerovo blood transfusion center (group 1, reference); 293 miners(group 2) and 199 thermal power plant workers (group 3). Benz[a]pyrene conjugate with bovine serum albumin as an adsorbed antigen was subjected to immune-enzyme assay.Results.IgA-Bp levels in the miners (Me = 2.7) did not differ from those in the reference group (Me = 2.9), but in the thermal power plant workers (Me = 3.7) were reliably higher than those in healthy men and in the miners (p<0.0001). Levels of IgG-Bp in the miners (Me = 5.0) appeared to be lower than those in the reference group (Me = 6.4; (p = 0.05). IgG-Bb level in the thermal power plantworkers (Me = 7.4) exceeded the parameters in the healthy donors and the miners (p<0.0001). Non-industrial factors (age and smoking) appeared tohave no influence on specific immune reactions against benz[a]pyrene in the miners and the thermal power plant workers.Conclusions.Specific immune reactions against benz[a]pyrene in the miners and the thermal power plant workers are characterized by peculiarities: the miners demonstrate lower levels of class A serum antibodies to benz[a]pyrene; the thermal power plant workers present increased serum levels of class G antibodies to benz[a]pyrene. These peculiarities result from only the occupational features, but do not depend on such factors as age, smoking and length of service at hazardous production. It is expedient to study specific immune reactions to benz[a]pyrene in workers of coal mines and thermal power plants, to evaluate individual oncologic risk and if malignancies occur.

Вплив передпосівного обробляння насіння нуту на польову схожість та густоту стояння рослин
Authors: Гончар Л. М. , Щербакова О. М.
Published: March 2019

Дослідженнями, проведеними у стаціонарному досліді ВП «Агрономічна дослідна станція» протягом 2012–2014 рр. на чорноземі типовому малоґумусному грубопилувато-суглинковому, встановлено, що обробляння насіння бульбочковими бактеріями та розчином молібдену є ефективним прийомом щодо підвищення схожості насіння нуту шляхом активації окисно-відновних процесів у насінні. Визначено, що виживання рослин нуту під час веґетації суттєво залежить від погодних умов вирощування та передпосівного обробляння насіння. Інокуляція насіння та його обробка колоїдним розчином молібдену сприяє підвищенню стійкості рослин до стресів та виживаності рослин у період веґетації культури на 6,5–10,5 %, застосування інокуляції без колоїдного розчину молібдену – лише на 1,9–2,5 %.

Studies in stationary experiment EP «Agronomic Research Station» during 2012–2014 years in typical black soil found that treating seeds by nodule bacteria and molybdenum solution is an effective reception for improving chickpea seed germination by redox processes in the seeds. We established that survival chickpea plants during the growing season considerably depend on weather conditions of growing and preplant processing of seeds. Inoculation of seed and its processing by molybdenum colloidal solution improves plant resistance to stress and survival of plants during the growing season culture in 6,5–10,5 %, inoculation without the use of colloidal solution of molybdenum – by only 1,9–2,5 %.
Дискримінантний аналіз агроекологічного впливу способів механічного обробітку ґрунту
Authors: Цьова Ю. А.
Published: March 2019

У статті представлено результати дискримінантного аналізу за едафічними показниками станів ґрунтової системи, які формуються внаслідок різних способів механічного обробітку. Показано, що для дискримінації чизелювання, безполицевого та мінімального обробітку, а також «нульового обробітку» достатньо дві канонічні дискримінантні осі. Канонічна функція 1 дискримінує способи механічного обробітку з високою глибиною оранки та способи з малою глибиною та нульовим обробітком. Канонічна функція 2 дискримінує кожну з перших груп на підгрупи з меншою глибиною оранки у парі. Більш глибокі варіанти оранки відрізняються більшими рівнями поживних речовин (азот, фосфор, калій). Значення канонічних змінних розглядаються як маркери осей простору, в межах якого відбивається мінливість едафічних показників.

The article presents the results of discriminant analysis on the state of soil on edaphic parameters of the system, which are formed as a result of different methods of machining. Two initial discriminant axes is enough for discrimination of results of chisel cultivation, subsurface cultivation, minimum tillage, and also «no till». Canonical axes 1 discriminates ways of machining with high depth of ploughing and ways with small depth or zero processing. Canonical axes 2 discriminates each of the first groups on subgroups with smaller depth of ploughing in each pair. Deeper variants of a ploughed land differ by the big levels of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) in soil. Values of canonical variables are considered as markers of axes of space in which limits variability of edaphic indicators is reflected.

Bukan berarti Deposito Mudharabah Muqayyadah tidak ada peminatnya, tetapi lebih sedikit peminatnya dibandingkan Deposito Mudharabah Mutlaqah, karena pada Deposito ini nasabah dibebankan mencari pengelolah dana sendiri dan bank hanya bertindak sebagai perantara, dengan pembagian hasil usahanya hanya melibatkan pemilik dana dengan pengelola dana, jadi bank menerima imbalan berupa fee atas kegiatannya.
EQUATIONS THAT DESCRIBE THE GEOMETRY OF SUPERADOBE DOMED STRUCTURES
Authors: Gomez Marco Aurelio Lopez
Published: March 2019

"Superadobe" is a method for the construction of self-built shelters that has three main advantages: It’s economical, it’s easy to execute by common people, and produces buildings with good structural behavior against natural events such as earthquakes, floods, fire and high winds [1]. It consists in filling polypropylene sacks with a moist mixture of clay, sand, gravel and lime/cement; placing and compacting one on top of another in the form of concentric rings of decreasing radii and describing a double curvature monolith. (Similar to a paraboloid).The construction of these domed monoliths follow a simple geometrical pattern based on the use of compasses, hence the form, and other building characteristics can be parametric. This is, a system of equations for these building’s physical dimensions can be derived, based on initial parameters.These equation’s variables can be divided into independent ('constructive') and dependent ('observable'), and by defining the values of the independent parameters (sack dimensions, radius of base (internal compass), radius of roof (external compass), radius of skylight, dimensions of openings, mean material specific weight, mean material elastic modulus, mean friction coefficient between rows, etc.), resulting dimensions and mechanical behaviors, such as building height, interior habitable area, proportion of rows that rest upon the previous, or total building weight, maximum shear force amongst all rows, axial stresses, etc. can be determined.This article deals with the resulting geometrical dimensions of the building, given corresponding initial parameters. If we were to set some dependent variables as fixed values, we could solve the system of equations for the missing independent parameters. This would allow for example, to set design values for building weight and height, and to determine the unknown values for the corresponding radiuses and necessary sack dimensions which will produce a building that meets this pre requisites.This paper briefly explains a geometrical model of Superadobe domed structures.

Racial Microaggression, Overt Discrimination, and Distress: (In)Direct Associations with Psychological Adjustment
Authors: Lui P. Priscilla
Published: March 2019

Separate literatures have examined the associations between psychological adjustment and microaggression, and overt discrimination; whether microaggression is related to adjustment outcomes above and beyond overt discrimination and neuroticism remains unclear. I examined the extent to which racial microaggression explained unique variances of negative affect, alcohol consumption, and drinking problems while controlling for overt discrimination and neuroticism among Asian, Black, and Hispanic American college students (N = 713, 50.9% women, Mage = 22.72 years). Intervening roles of psychological distress linking microaggression and overt discrimination to adjustment outcomes were also tested. Among Blacks, microaggression and overt discrimination did not consistently predict psychological adjustment. Among Asians and Hispanics, microaggression and overt discrimination predicted negative affect via psychological distress. Microaggression also explained the variances of alcohol use outcomes among Asians. Findings are discussed in the context of an acute racism reactions model and underscore the importance of considering overt discrimination and microaggression simultaneously as determinants of psychological adjustment.
Ground response of the Kathmandu Sedimentary Basin with reference to 30 August 2013 South-Tibet Earthquake

Published: March 2019

Ground acceleration of the 30 August 2013 (M4.9), South Tibet Earthquake has been recorded by five accelerometers deployed in the Kathmandu Valley. Analysis of the ground acceleration record reveals that that the EW component was dominant across the valley, and with the exception of one, all stations on sediments recorded PGA much higher than the station on rock. The site response functions, evaluated as the Fourier spectral ratios of the horizontal components on soil relative to the corresponding component on rock, are remarkably similar in the low frequency range (<0.8 Hz) and reveal strong amplification that likely corresponds to basin effects. By contrast, the high frequency site response shows strong variability across the soil sites, likely attributed to the underlying stratigraphy of the shallow soil layers of the valley. The most pronounced differences manifest in the frequency range >2Hz, which is consistent with the variability in PGA across the valley. Because of the small intensity of this event, the empirical site response recorded can be, approximately, considered linear. As such, this study establishes a reference for future studies on nonlinear site response, which is likely to be triggered during future stronger earthquakes.

Published: March 2019

Considering Oman’s engagement in educational reforms that are aimed at improving the educational system to fit the needs and challenges of globalization and the current emphasis on the application of Interactive Teaching Methods (ITMs), this study sought to explore the experiences of Living Skills teachers in engaging in AR to improve Interactive Teaching Strategies (ITSs). It explores the experience of an Omani Life Skills teacher’s involvement in the participatory process of guided Action Research (AR) to improve her Interactive Teaching Strategies (ITSs). Focus is on how this involvement helped her improve her teaching as well as her views and understandings of Interactive Teaching Methods (ITMs). The findings indicate that the teacher was able to accomplish a good transformation of her understanding in some of Interactive Teaching principles and better application in her teaching while highlighting the barriers to the implementation of AR, such as lack of support, poor resources, and time constraints. These findings are hoped to contribute to efforts for developing better and focused teacher training methods for IT and AR support and implementation in Oman.

Significance of Social Vision in the Process of Reshaping Islamic Education
Authors: Rahath Yousef
Published: March 2019

The purpose of this paper is to emphasise the importance of social vision of Islam in formulating Islamic education. It has been assumed that due to the negligence of social dimension of Islam, most of the contemporary Islamic educational institutions are incapable of enabling the younger generation to look at the historical context of their lived reality more critically. Consequently, majority of the Muslims are not bothered about several concrete human social problems such as inequality, economic exploitation and fragmentation of the community into different classes and groups. To solve this issue, the article suggests incorporation of social dimension of Islam in the educational curricula. Since the Quran portrays human being as a social being by highlighting his various responsibilities in this world, one of the guiding principles of Islamic education should be to make Muslims capable of understanding the world for making it more just and better. Only then would Muslims be able to make a link between knowledge and action.

Kertas kerja ini bertujuan untuk membincangkan kepentingan wawasan sosial Islam dalam membentuk pendidikan Islam. Kita mengandaikan bahawa kebanyakan institusi pendidikan Islam kontemporari tidak berupaya untuk membolehkan golongan muda melihat konteks sejarah realiti kehidupan mereka dengan lebih kritikal kerana pengabaian dimensi sosial Islam. Kesannya, kebanyakan umat Islam tidak peduli tentang beberapa masalah sosial yang konkrit yang dihadapi oleh manusia seperti ketidakseimbangan, eksploitasi ekonomi dan perpecahan masyarakat ke dalam pelbagai kelas dan kumpulan. Untuk menyelesaikan isu ini, artikel ini mencadangkan penubuhan dimensi sosial Islam dalam kurikulum pendidikan. Oleh kerana Al-Quran menggambarkan manusia sebagai satu kewujudan sosial dengan menyerlahkan kepadanya pelbagai tanggungjawab di dunia ini, salah satu daripada prinsip-prinsip pendidikan Islam adalah untuk menjadikan umat Islam mampu memahami dunia supaya menjadikan ia lebih adil dan lebih baik.  Hanya selepas itu barulah umat Islam boleh membuat kaitan antara ilmu pengetahuan dan tindakan.
The Challenges of Islamization of Knowledge in Nigerian Islamic Universities
Authors: Adebayo Rafiu Ibrahim
Published: March 2019

A sort of revolution seems to have occurred in the education sector of the Muslim world consequent upon the First World Conference on Muslim Education held at Makkah in 1977, followed by others in different parts of the Muslim world. Part of the successes of these conferences was the establishment of international Islamic universities in some countries, as well as proliferation of intellectual institutions and organizations championing the course of Islamization of knowledge programme. In Nigeria, since 1999 at least four private Islamic universities have received licences of operation. Muslim owned universities tend to pursue the Islamization of knowledge programme rigorously. Nevertheless, certain stumbling blocks seem to have made this a mirage. This paper therefore intends to expose some of the stumbling blocks against the implementation of the Islamization of knowledge programme in Nigerian Islamic universities. To do justice to this, visitations were paid to the concerned institutions in Nigeria while libraries were consulted to have insight into the programme at international levels. Among the challenges encountered are: lack of a universally accepted model of Islamization; shortage of staff who are capable of doing Islamization; problems with funding the Islamization programme; many students not being interested in Islamization; and challenges related to the language of instruction. Based on our findings, some suggestions were made to facilitate effective implementation of the programme in the institutions that are believed to be fertile land for the development and execution of the Islamization of knowledge programme.

Authors: Muhammad Aliyu Dahiru , Abdullahi Muhammad Ibrahim
Published: March 2019

The persistent deterioration of trust among managers of the economy in one hand and the declining confidence level of the public on economic and financial institutions in the country calls for the need to assess the type of economic graduates Universities in Nigeria produce. In other words, does our Universities produce economists that are skillful in the industry but lacks ethical as well as moral values? To answer these questions there is need to examine the University curriculum so as to know the existence or otherwise of courses that enhance skills and those that enhance values. The objective of this study therefore is to assess the need for Islamic economics curriculum that contains sufficient courses for not only building graduate economic and analytical skills but also the courses that are relevant for ethical development of a graduate. Bayero University Kano, though not an Islamic University per se but is well rooted in the values of Islam historically and in the programmes the University offers to students from various field of Islamic revealed knowledge. The paper being exploratory in nature gathers data from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data was gathered from survey of the respondents that include both academic staff and students of the Department of Economics, B.U.K. The secondary data will be sourced from books, contemporary articles, conference proceedings, reports and curriculum of the department as well as Islamic economics curriculum from relevant Universities in the Muslim world. Based on logistic Regressions, the findings from this study show that there is need for Islamic economics curriculum to improve the ethical and moral stand of the students, especially after graduation. The result paves way for updating economics curriculum for the Bachelor of Science Economics and sheds some lights to other Universities that share the same characteristics with Bayero University Kano.                                                                                                                                                                            ,

To show the significance of motivation in this paper the author uses Gardner’s socio-educational model of SLA. It centers on government initiatives, parents’ inspiration, classroom atmosphere, and teachers’ inspirations at elementary and tertiary levels in English language learning. Here a questionnaire has been used to collect data. The attitudinal scale is used with close-ended questions on a four points Likert scale. In the survey it has been revealed that English should be taught from grade one at elementary level and qualified English teachers are required there. In terms of motivation it has been recognized that family awareness plays a crucial role. It is also found that parents should care about the language efficiency of their children rather than grades in examinations.

Authors: Almanie Abdullah
Published: March 2019

The study aims to determine the quality of the Educational Planning training course for the planning supervisors in the Ministry of Education. This course is provided by the Leadership Training Center in the College of Education at King Saud University. The study also aims to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the Educational Planning course, and the trainees’ views and suggestions for the course’s development. The study identifies the impact of the trainees’ characteristics (academic level, previous experience in planning, age) in their evaluation of the Educational Planning course. The community (and sample) of the study consists of 75 trainees, of which 50 trainees responded to the study questionnaire. A questionnaire was developed to explore the trainees' point of views on their experience of the training course in terms of its objectives, content, scheduling, the training environment, trainers and course management. The study used the “SEVQUAL” approach to measure the gap between what the trainees’ expectations of the institution and their perceptions of the institution’s actual performance. The differences between the trainees’ perceptions and expectations can be described mathematically as follows:Quality of training (Q) = actual performance (P) - expected performance (E). The study’s results show negative gaps in all dimensions and phases with an average gap of -2.67, indicating that the trainees were not satisfied with the training course they experienced. The maximum negative gap is in the “training materials” dimension (an average of -2.8), followed by “assessment of trainers” (a negative gap of -2.6).  Next, the dimension of “training activities” has a negative gap (-2.53), and finally the “course schedule” and “training environment” dimensions which have less negative gaps (-2 and -1.3 respectively). The trainees listed many pros and cons of the training course and a set of suggestions for the development of the training course.

The Mahalle as Margin of the State
Authors: Woźniak Urszula
Published: March 2019

The neighbourhood-based battles over norms and values in the
ethnically diverse as well as sexual and gendered urban landscapes of the Istanbul
neighbourhood (mahalle) spaces of Tophane and Kurtuluş reflect the complexity
of the current political transformations that have been shaping Turkey as a whole
and Istanbul in particular before and after the 15 July 2016 coup attempt. The
analysis of the mahalle as the state’s margin reflects on how public moral talk,
including the notion of ‘sensitivity’ (hassasiyet), reverberates in the making of
public morality in both neighbourhood spaces. This article specifically focuses on
the role of rumours in mediating ideas on behaviour deemed as in/appropriate in
the mahalle as ‘moral territory’ and the mundane practices of self-appointed old
and new ‘guards’ of the mahalle.
Navigating through contradictory rationalities
Authors: Larsson Martin J.
Published: March 2019

English Abstract:

This article discusses the idea of policy coherence for development,
and its relation to the experience of development along the Grĳalva
River in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. Through an analysis of different
understandings of the garbage in the river, and of the attempts to deal
with the garbage, I highlight tensions between different generations of
policies, between different levels of government, and between implementing
the goals of governmental representatives and a meaningful
participation by citizens. To understand these tensions, the article draws
attention to the coexistence of experience-based rationalities, which are
important to take into account when formulating policies, and when
moving from policies to concrete projects.

Spanish Abstract:

Este artículo discute la idea de la coherencia en las políticas
públicas para el desarrollo, y su relación con la experiencia de desarrollo
sobre el Río Grĳalva, en el estado de Chiapas, México. A través de un
análisis de diversos entendimientos de la basura en el Río, subrayo las
tensiones entre diferentes generaciones de políticas públicas; entre diferentes
niveles de gobierno; y las tensiones entre la implementación de
metas de los representantes gubernamentales y una participación significativa por parte de los ciudadanos. Para entender estas tensiones, el artículo
enfatiza la co-existencia de racionalidades basadas en la experiencia
práctica, que son importantes considerar al formular políticas públicas, y
al moverse de las políticas públicas a proyectos concretos.

French Abstract:

Cet article examine l’idée de cohérence dans les stratégies politiques
pour le développement et sa relation avec l’expérience du développement
autour du fleuve Grĳalva, dans l’état du Chiapas, au Mexique. À
travers l’analyse des multiples significations des déchets dans le fleuve,
je souligne les tensions entre différentes générations de politiques publiques,
entre différents niveaux de gouvernement, et entre la mise en
oeuvre des objectifs par les représentants gouvernementaux et la participation
significative des citoyens. Pour comprendre ces tensions, l’article
insiste sur la coexistence de rationalités fondées sur l’expérience pratique,
qu’il est important de prendre en compte dans l’élaboration des
politiques publiques, et lors du passage de ces politiques publiques aux
projets concrets.
