EXPLORING VIDEO-GAME PRODUCTION’S CONTINGENCY ON LIVE-STREAMING
PLATFORMS: THE CASE OF TWITCH
Authors: Papaevangelou Charilaos , Roinioti Elina
Published: September 2021

This article studies the cultural contingency of video-game
production on Amazon’s live-streaming platform, Twitch. It looks at this phenomenon from a
political-economic perspective to unearth Twitch’s platformisation strategy to better
understand what it means for the video-game industry. Platformisation signifies the
infrastructural embeddedness of platforms, supported by a business strategy of expanding
beyond their services’ boundaries to standardise appropriation, processing and exploitation
of data, resulting in a dependency of content creators on digital platforms. Subsequently,
we wish to grasp what dependencies are created and how it is made possible. We argue that
Twitch is transforming into an integral part of the video-game production cycle by expanding
its services to every stage of a game’s life cycle. Consequently, game developers are
incentivised to apply these features in their game design, thus creating an economic
feedback loop that a) aspires to increase user acquisition, retention and revenue, b)
locks-in game developers and viewers alike, and c) “platformises” the gaming
experience.
DOUYIN AND TIKTOK: A CROSS-LANGUAGE SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF ACADEMIC
SCHOLARSHIP ON SISTER APPS
Authors: Poh Yu Ting , Abidin Crystal
Published: September 2021

Following the meteoric rise of TikTok in the global market and the
dominance of Douyin in the Chinese market, this article maps academic scholarship focusing
on Douyin and TikTok. Examining Chinese and English journal articles studying Douyin and
TikTok, we address three research questions: Firstly, what are the disciplinary approaches
and methodologies employed by researchers in studying Douyin and TikTok? Secondly, what are
the foci of research questions put forth by researchers? Thirdly, how is the academic
scholarship on these platforms developing independently? In terms of disciplinary leanings,
Douyin publications tended to be published by scholars in the humanities and social sciences
while TikTok and comparative publications demonstrated a broader scope of disciplinary
leanings. Regarding methodology, Douyin publications tended to employ qualitative ones.
Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed approaches for TikTok publications were more balanced.
Qualitative and quantitative approaches were observed in comparative publications. Data
collection methods across publications included digital fieldwork, surveys, interviews,
experiments, media texts, and ethnography; while data analyses included content, thematic,
statistical, network, critical discourse, and descriptive forms of analyses. Regarding
research questions, articles on Douyin tended to engage with e-commerce, the development of
short form videos, and practices, cultures and communities. Articles on TikTok tended to
engage with platform logics and governance concerns, fame, virality and influencers, and
representation of events or information. Comparative publications tended to engage with
platformization, expression of cultural differences, fan engagement strategies and factors
underlying app usage. Finally, academic scholarship on Douyin and TikTok are largely based
in independent geographic regions.
IMAGINING ALTERNATIVE MEDIATED FUTURES? REFLECTIONS ON EXPERIMENTAL
WORKSHOPS WITH YOUNG PEOPLE
Authors: Vigren Minna , Ridell Seija
Published: September 2021

Imagining alternatives to the thoroughly networked contemporary
everyday is not easy. In our research project, we tackled this problem by developing an
‘imagining workshop’ method and applying it in an experimental study with young people. In
this paper, we present methodological reflections based on these imagining experiments. Our
paper contributes to nascent research that explores and experiments with so-called
speculative methods in the field of critical media and infrastructure studies. We are
interested in whether the dynamic of hegemony that actualizes in mediated daily practices
can be questioned, and alternatives imagined to ‘how things are’. We seek to do this by
bringing together perspectives from speculative fiction and critical media infrastructure
studies. Our key methodological question is: “how could we as researchers create
interventionist methods to spark imagination and inspire (self-)reflective thinking in
people about their mediated everyday?” In the paper, we highlight two major observations
from the workshops. First, while projecting alternatives to future mediated everyday proved
challenging for the participants, it sparked vibrant discussions on the contemporary
networked society’s bleak sides. A challenge we observed is that the act of imagining does
not necessarily mean that what is co-produced in playful workshop settings are
counter-hegemonic narratives of the future. Second, our study highlights that young people
have concerns about their mediated everyday life, and these concerns emphasize the need to
actively seek alternatives to ‘how things are’. The concerns were related to privacy and
dataveillance, and lack of safe online spaces, fairly manufactured devices, and
possibilities to disconnect.
NEGOTIATING PROFESSIONAL BELONGINGS: FINNISH ACTORS’ AFFECTIVE
ENGAGEMENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS
Authors: Soronen Anne , Koivunen Anu
Published: September 2021

This study addresses how creative workers’ social media presence
affects their understandings of professional agency. Focusing on Finnish professional
actors, we ask how social media practices inform and shape actors’ occupational
self-conceptions and professional belongings. In the theoretical framework, we employ Baym’s
notion of relational labour and read it through Berlant’s (1998) conceptualisation of
intimacy as mobile attachments. The data is collected from 15 Finnish actors, eight
freelancers and seven theatre employees, from June 2020 to March 2021 by using the
diary-interview method. The analysis is based on a close reading of the interview material
and diary entries in which participants describe their experiences and feelings concerning
their presence, work-related connections, and promotion on Facebook and Instagram. The study
indicates that for both theatre actors and freelancers their social media activities are
entwined in their sense of professionalism and belongings to occupational communities of
peers. They negotiate and speculate about their social media presence in relation to peer
assessments in a way that involves continuous movements between visibility and invisibility
and between independence and interdependence. Our study suggests that to understand the
ambivalences involved in creative workers’ presence on social media platforms, it is
important to broaden the investigation from strategic self-promotion and audience engagement
to questions of professional identities and communities.
THE DISINFECTANT DIVERSION: FRAMING STRATEGIES OF PARTISAN MEDIA IN
INTERPRETING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Trifiro Briana , Wells Chris , Rochefort Alexander
Published: September 2021

Following the rise of Donald Trump leading up to the 2016 US
presidential election, political communication scholars have turned a critical eye towards
the role of conservative media outlets in the construction of an overarching meta-narrative,
largely referred to in the existing literature as the “deep story” (Hochschild, 2016). The
aim of the present study to extend this seminal work to analyze how mainstream,
conservative, and liberal outlets rely on meta-narratives to construct meaning in their
coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Employing qualitative methods, we analyze the coverage
that six American news outlets afforded the April 23rd 2020 Coronavirus Task Force news
briefing, where President Trump insinuated injections of disinfectant could be a useful way
to fight COVID-19. Our analysis includes 115 news articles, 41 Facebook posts and 87
television clips from these outlets. Our results reveal that both the left and right wing
media systems employed overarching narratives in their coverage. The left-wing media heavily
emphasized the tendency to deny or argue scientific fact among conservatives. In contrast,
we observed that the right-wing media constantly used similar framing strategies in an
attempt to vilify the left-wing media and liberals. Considering the existing literature
(Kreiss, 2018: Poletta & Callahan, 2019), we observed many instances where right-wing
pundits and journalists relied on previously established heuristics, cuing audiences to
perceive the left-wing media as elitist out to discredit Trump. Our findings provide an
in-depth analysis of how partisan media relies on meta-narratives to convey meaning to their
audiences.
FROM MONOPOLIZING MEMORY TO CO-CREATING IT: OPENNESS AND EQUITY IN THE
DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM
Authors: Tzouganatou Angeliki , Krueckeberg Jennifer
Published: September 2021

With the growing proliferation of digital media into the memory
practices of cultural institutions and ordinary people, questions about a growing dependence
on monopolistic technology companies on the creation, access and preservation of collective
memory have emerged. For cultural institutions that rely on social media to boost their
audience engagement, this also means that they lose part of their role as public educators,
while ordinary people fear the loss of ownership over their personal memories. This paper
proposes equitable approaches to the current digital ecosystem, that is built on the
extraction and profit-making of personal data, that can be developed by looking beyond the
current market, envisioning possibilities for related policies that could enable the
re-design of the current memory ecosystem towards social inclusion. The argument is based on
a combination of ethnographic research into initiatives that foster the openness of
knowledge by enabling fair practices to be realized in the competitive sphere of the digital
economy. Building upon work such as the MyData and the DECODE project, as well as enquiries
into personal memory practices of youth living in Germany and the UK.
FROM WATCHED AT WORK TO WATCHED AT HOME: WORKPLACE SURVEILLANCE DURING A
PANDEMIC
Authors: Vitak Jessica , Zimmer Michael
Published: September 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has created new opportunities and new tensions
related to workplace surveillance. Monitoring workers via digital tools to analyze
everything from keystrokes to email and social media to the websites they visit is
increasingly common, and the shift to remote work in the early days of the pandemic led many
employers to consider new ways to monitor their employees while working from home. In this
paper, we consider how the pandemic has affected office workers’ experience of surveillance,
focusing on the types of monitoring they currently experience and their concerns related to
future forms of surveillance. In particular, we unpack the sociotechnical implications of
shifting work surveillance practices due to COVID-19, focusing on how evolving and emergent
workplace surveillance practices may impact workers. Using factorial vignettes, survey
respondents (N=645) read and responded to 35 scenarios about future workplace surveillance
practices. Each scenario randomly varied four factors about workplace monitoring: the type
of data being collected, the purpose for data collection, the actors who can access the
data, and the transmission principle guiding data collection. For each scenario, respondents
assessed both the appropriateness of each scenario and how concerning they found it. We
evaluate this data, as well as data about respondents’ work environment before and during
the pandemic, using Nissenbaum’s framework of privacy as contextual integrity. We also
consider the potential harms associated with different types of monitoring.

Published: September 2021

Palm wine has long been the traditional wine of choice for most people during festive periods and social activities. This research work was done to determine the effect of ingested fresh palm wine on pupil diameter and amplitude of accommodation in young adults. Fifty (50) young adults aged between 18-35 years with a mean age of 23.46(±2.54) and weight ranging from 45-80kg with mean weight of 61.18(±8.00) volunteered for this work. The volunteers had normal body mass index (BMI) of between 18.5 and 25kg/m2. Pupil diameter in millimeters (mm) and Amplitude of Accommodation (AA) in diopters (D) were measured before and after 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes intake of 330ml of fresh palm wine containing 5.1% alcohol at the time it was consumed. Physicochemical analysis of the palm wine showed the presence of Solids, Sugar, Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) while microbiological analysis showed the presence of yeasts. Its pH at the time was 6.20. Statistical analysis with SPSS version 21 showed that the mean pupil diameter before intake of fresh palm wine was 3.80(±0.72) and mean value 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes after intake of fresh palm wine were 3.30(±0.61), 3.48(±0.75) and 4.20(±0.64) respectively. The mean Amplitude of accommodation before intake of fresh palm wine was 12.16(±3.66) and mean value 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes after intake of fresh palm wine were 13.86(±3.31), 10.19(±2.47) and 9.16(±2.12) respectively. The result obtained was statistically significant using one way ANOVA at 95% confidence interval and 0.05 level of significance; P(0.00) ˂0.05. The mean difference was significant at the 0.05 level. This study showed that fresh palm wine interfered with visual functions as increased pupil size and changes in AA were observed.

Authors: . Priyanka , Ravneet Kaur , . Sakshi
Published: September 2021

Background: Work-related are more prone to get musculoskeletal problems due to excessive use of skeletal muscles while moving, lifting and transferring patients and heavy objects from one ward to different wards and thus, a result of a work related event and they are casually linked to physical load resulting from occupational activities such as high intensity forces, highly repetitive exertion, strong or long lasting muscular strains as well as environmental and psychological factors. There is lack of evidence of knowledge and practices of body mechanics in literature as compared to other health care workers.
Objectives: The study was planned to assess knowledge and use of body mechanics among hospital attendants and their association with the musculoskeletal problems among hospital attendants.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted among hospital attendants working in tertiary care centre after taking permission from institute ethics committee and sanitation officer. Sample size of 174 was collected by convenience sampling technique from selected wards. Data was collected using Knowledge questionnaire, Interview schedule and Observation checklist and statistical analysis of the collected data was done by using SPSS version 22.0
Result: Study results depicted that 78.7% study subjects show poor knowledge score. 23.0% subjects follow good practices, 52.9% average practices and 24.1% poor practices. There was no statistically significant association was found among musculoskeletal problems and body mechanic practices of the subjects.
Conclusion: the study found that there is lack of knowledge and poor practices of body mechanics in majority of health attendants. However there is no statistically significant association is found between body mechanics practices and musculoskeletal problems among them. It will be helpful to develop and implement educational programme regarding body mechanics for hospital attendants to increase their efficiency and have healthy workforce.

Influence of Body Composition on Dynamic Balance in Older Adults
Authors: Roshan Padmanabhan Suresh Babu , Samuel Sanjay Eapen , Saru Dhan Maya
Published: September 2021

Objective: Aging causes major changes in body composition which is related with lower muscular strength and endurance, as well as mobility and walking. Increase in accumulation of adipose tissue and increase in body fat can cause a reduction in body balance, which is a key contributing factor to falls. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find the influence of skin fold thickness on dynamic balance in older adults.
Methods: A total of 49 community dwelling older adults aged 65 years and older were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Skin fold calliper and time up and go (TUG) test was used to measure the skin fold thickness and dynamic balance respectively. The Karl Pearson’s coefficient was used to estimate the relationship between the variables.
Results: The Karl Pearson correlation co-efficient showed moderate positive correlation between skin fold thickness and TUG (r=0.395), which was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Our finding suggests that balance is significantly related to the skin fold thickness measurement. Thus, body composition assessment can be considered for prevention and management of fall risk among the older adults.

Keywords: Body composition, Dynamic balance, Elderly.

Authors: Deolekar Minal , Shende Trupti
Published: September 2021

On account of the increasing demand for valuable herbal products, an attempt was made to produce a functional fermented Ethanol from Amla. This study investigates the potential of ethanol production from Amla (Emblica officinalis Gaertn). In the present study, Amla juice was extracted, filtered, fermented and it shows a suitable medium for the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on yeast peptone dextrose medium for the production of ethanol. Ethanol was separated by fractional distillation and then estimated at 4, 6, 8 and 10 days of the fermentation process by iodometric method for 30oC. The ethanol percentage estimated by the iodometric titration method was high on the 10th day, and it was found to be 1.63 gm% compared to all days. So, the outcome of this study reveals that amla fruit can be used as a crucial constituent for the yield of ethanol with a higher commercial value.

Background: Hypertension is a chronic condition, and the cost of filling prescriptions has a potential of putting a financial strain on patients, hence the need for lower priced but bioequivalent generics. The Nigerian drug market is awash with generics of Amlodipine besylate, a first line drug in the treatment of hypertension, therefore, any prescribed alternative must be bioequivalent to the originator. Objectives: This study assessed the physicochemical properties of some brands in order to predict pharmaceutical and bioequivalence and invariably, the interchangeability with the innovator brand. Methods: Compendial parameters of average weight, friability, disintegration, drug content and dissolution profile of ten generic brands were evaluated using the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) as well as the non-official hardness test. Results: Two brands failed the test for hardness, while still keeping to the stipulated friability limit. All the brands met the required disintegration time, irrespective of the discordance of some brands in the breaking force and friability values. All brands were found to contain between 92.00 and 103.57% (w/w) of Amlodipine besylate. Two brands failed to achieve ≥75% dissolution expected at 30 minutes and this was reflected in the low f2 values of 35.06% and 28.73%. The dissolution curves displayed a similarity for two brands, which was also corroborated by the high percentage dissolution efficiency (DE) of 92.00%, as well as the f1 and f2 values, compared to the innovator brand. Conclusion: Although the parameters used may predict therapeutic equivalence, interchangeability with the comparator brand is subject to relevant bioequivalence studies.
Speaking of Rivers: Spirituals, Poetry, and Relationality
Authors: Granger Charissa
Published: September 2021

Rivers and other bodies of water evoke freedom. In Black music the theme of the river continuously returns: from Nile by Beyoncé and Kendrick, which connects the river to liberation, to Sam Cooke's proclamation “I was born by the river.” Gospel tunes such as “Jordan River” and “Down by the Riverside,” together with Negro spirituals such as “Deep River,” “Roll Jordan Roll,” “Wade in the Water,” and “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” all make clear that the journey of freedom is through the river. “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” by Langston Hughes riffs on Negro spirituals in terms of subject matter and mood, enabling a sensuous way of knowing freedom and liberation. Repetition and variations on key phrases are used to transform the mood throughout the poem, bringing the past, present, and future into conversation. Drawing on the spirituals, Hughes constructs mood, scene, and feeling that recognize the historical importance of the river while transcending the catastrophe of that history of enslavement, redefining the river and rendering a foretelling of liberation. Arguing for the relational and futuristic character of this poem, this article analyses how music allows Hughes to transgress and reexist beyond coloniality and to express a continuous reach for liberation.

المساعي السياسية والإصلاحية للإمام أبي الوليد الباجي
Authors: Habib Sebbane , Boukhri Omar
Published: September 2021

After the fall of the Umayyad Caliphate, the Andalusian Islamic state witnessed a political rupture as a result of chaos, rivalries and sectarian conflicts throughout the fifth century AH corresponding to the eleventh century AD. These dangerous security breakdowns led to the disintegration and division of the Islamic Caliphate in Andalusia into a group of independent kingdoms and small emirates which ultimately found themselves on one hand in permanent wars between them, and on the other in skirmishes with the neighbouring Christian forces. This fact contributed to lack of stability and peace of these lands and the establishment of weak governing systems for a long time. This political situation stressed the worsening of their social conditions and their scientific life. Nevertheless, this situation generated a motivating nostalgia and rage in some scholars and jurists such as Imam Abū al-Walīd al-Bājī who is considered one of the key-figures and scholars of Andalusia. He had a prominent role in pushing forward and reviving scientific life by setting various new foundations in order to reform some fields. His writings were directed for educational purposes. Besides, he included the reform of Islamic jurisprudence, which was aimed primarily for jurists and rulers. Furthermore, some of his writings were sermons and ethical moral instructions for commoners. His endeavours led him to enter the political life as he assumed the judicial profession of a judge, that enabled him to be in more touch with the various kings of sects giving him the chance to advise and guide them. His efforts in that end resulted in seeking to reunite the kings of the sects and their princes under the banner of Islam and unite their forces for the defence of Muslim presence in Andalusia against the Christian threat.

DETERMINANT INFLATION ON MURABAHAH FINANCING IN SHARIA BANKS IN INDONESIA 2015-2019
Authors: Erick S Yahya  , Supandi Rahman
Published: September 2021

This study aims to know the effect of inflation on Murabahah (sale-purchase agrrement between the bank and the customer with known profit) financing in Sharia banks in Indonesia. The data in this study are secondary data from the official website of each Sharia bank and then analyzed by using simple regression analysis. The finding shows that the inflation rate has a positive and significant effect on Murabahah financing in Sharia banks in Indonesia. The positive coefficient indicates that an increase in inflation will make people greatly desire to apply for Murabahah financing because they are worried about a greater increase in inflation in the following year. This aldo occurs because the increase in inflation makes people save a lot in Sharia banks, so that banks must optimally use these funds in the form of financing operations of what is called Murabaha financing. The coefficient of determination is 0.9871, meaning that 98.71% of Murabahah financing in Sharia banks in Indonesia is explained by the inflation rate. Meanwhile, 1.29% is the variability of other variables on Murabahah financing, such as banking profit variables, CAR ratios, NPF ratios, and third party funds.

La paz como un esfuerzo social permanente desde la ciudadanía
Authors: Márquez Torres Daniela , Lamprea Amórtegui María Paula , Molano Peña Elizabeth
Published: September 2021

La construcción de paz requiere de un compromiso y esfuerzo social constantes desde el ejercicio de la ciudadanía para superar las violencias estructurales y la cultura punitiva que las sostiene. En esta reflexión, discutimos sobre las cuestiones centrales que reproducen y normalizan la violencia en las relaciones cotidianas y hacemos una propuesta pedagógica a partir de las prácticas restaurativas, la ética del cuidado y la construcción de memoria, con el objetivo de que promuevan cambios en las formas en que nos relacionamos y asumimos nuestra corresponsabilidad desde el ejercicio de la ciudadanía.

In this reflection, we discuss about the central issues that reproduce and normalize the violence on our daily relationships and we propose a pedagogical approach based on restorative practices, ethics of care and memory construction that promote structural changes in the way we interact and assume our co-responsibility, from the exercise of citizenship.

La Responsabilidad Social Empresarial como herramienta para la gestión de conflictos con comunidades rurales
Authors: Ramiro Muñoz Manuel , Daniela Díaz Lozano  , Quintero Falla María Alejandra
Published: September 2021

Las empresas están llamadas a reflexionar en torno al alcance de sus acciones en el marco de la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE), más aún, en contextos como Colombia, donde la ruralidad es el escenario de conflictos que involucran a las comunidades indígenas, afrodescendientes y campesinas, lo que supone un reto en la formulación de estrategias de relacionamiento encaminadas a impactar positivamente en la gestión de conflictos que, de no ser tenidos en cuenta por las empresas, pueden ir en detrimento de sus objetivos. Este artículo ofrece una reflexión crítica sobre el concepto de RSE asumida como una herramienta de gestión de conflictos, suponiendo que su alcance debería ir más allá del cumplimiento de las obligaciones legales de la empresa, que debe, entonces, actuar siendo consciente de la asimetría de derechos de las comunidades rurales y de sus consecuencias.

Abstract: Companies are called to reflect on the scope of their actions in the framework of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), even more in contexts such as Colombia, where rurality is the scenario of conflicts involving indigenous, Afro-descendent and peasants communities, this represents a challenge to the formulation of relationship strategies aimed at positively impacting the management of conflicts that, if they are not taken into account by companies, may be detrimental to their objectives. This article offers a critical reflection on the concept of CSR understood as a conflict management tool, assuming that its scope should go beyond the fulfillment of the legal obligations of the company, which must act with awareness of the asymmetry of rights of the rural communities and their consequences.

Keywords: Corporate Social Responsibility, companies, rural communities, conflict management, intercultural dialogue.
Diversidad sexual y movimientos sociales
Authors: Caro Felipe
Published: September 2021

La revista Controversia ha decidido dedicar el número 215 a reflexionar sobre el movimiento por la diversidad sexual. Los artículos que encontrarán a continuación reflejan el estado no solo de las agendas investigativas en torno a dicha diversidad; también es posible evidenciar las discusiones que se están dando dentro de las organizaciones. Por lo tanto, lo que estas investigaciones permiten constatar es que lejos de ser un movimiento homogéneo y estático, constituye un abanico de posturas y debates en torno a diferentes aspectos de la lucha contra la heteronorma característicos de un momento particular.
El ‘baculazo a la gobernadora’: Mujeres, género y política en Colombia en la década del setenta del siglo xx
Authors: Pantoja García Juan Camilo , Sandoval Acosta Girlandrey
Published: September 2021

En febrero de 1975, el presidente Alfonso López Michelsen nombró gobernadora del departamento de Risaralda a Dora Luz Campo. Los obispos de Pereira, capital de Risaralda, vetaron esa decisión aduciendo razones morales, ya que ella, luego de estar casada por lo católico, se divorció y volvió a casar por lo civil con otra persona. En este artículo se analizan las representaciones de género que circularon en la prensa en torno a este episodio, con el objetivo de mostrar cómo el orden de género se produce, refuerza y transforma en contextos específicos. Este episodio dejó ver que la concepción de la jerarquía católica sobre las reglas formales e implícitas a las que, en su concepto, debían ajustarse las mujeres que entraban a ocupar cargos públicos habían perdido influencia y eran desafiadas por otra, presentada como más moderna, pero con sus límites: la de un orden de género que reproducía y reforzaba los ideales de maternidad y fragilidad femenina.

The ‘baculazo a la gobernadora’: Women, Gender, and Politics in Colombia during the 1970s

Abstract: In February 1975, the president of Colombia, Alfonso López Michelsen (liberal) appointed Dora Luz Campo de Botero as governor of the department of Risaralda. The bishops of Pereira (capital of Risaralda) veto that decision adducing moral reasons because after being married by the Catholic Church she separated and then had another civil marriage. This article analyzes the gender representations that circulated in the press around this episode in order to show how the gender order is produced, reinforced and transformed in particular contexts. This episode made visible that the conception of the colombian catholic hierarchy about the gender order to which women that were seeking to occupy high ranking public posts were expected to adjust was loosing authority, and was being challenged by another conception, presented as modern, but that had its own limits, because those women were expected to adjust to a gender order that reproduced and reinforced the ideals of maternity and femininity.

Keywords: politics, women, gender order, gender roles, gender stereotypes.
Editorial

Escribimos esta editorial ad portas de una tercera oleada mundial de la pandemia. Hace ya más de un año, cuando comenzaron los primeros brotes identificados en Wuhan, nadie alcanzaba a prever el alcance de este fenómeno biosocial. A pesar de un esfuerzo científico sin precedentes para desarrollar vacunas capaces de gestionar la pandemia, nuestra arquitectura política mundial no ha estado a la misma altura. Las brechas de desigualdad y la polarización política parecen estar pasando factura, y como resultado vivimos un presente cercano a la distopía. Una vez más, la profética tesis del historiador Marc Ferro tiende a confirmarse en la medida que nuestra realidad ha iniciado una peligrosa carrera para alcanzar el futuro imaginado por el cine: ¿Nos acercamos con inusitada rapidez a un mundo como el que describiera Terry Gilliam en su película 12 Monos?

Bajo el anterior contexto, lanzamos la convocatoria de la presente edición de Controversia buscando responder —quizás aún en borrador dada la actualidad del fenómeno— a la siguiente pregunta: ¿Cómo la desigualdad social ha incidido en el despliegue de la pandemia en nuestro contexto latinoamericano, qué respuestas oficiales ha suscitado y qué resistencias sociales ha generado?
