Father-God Language and Old Testament Allusions in James
Authors: Ng Esther Yue L.
Published: December 2021

This article examines three passages in James where God is referred to as πατήρ (Father) (1:17; 1:27; 3:9). In all three cases, it is found that the word is neither a dead metaphor nor a mere title. To the contrary, each use of the word is relevant to what is predicated of God and his works in the immediate context when the OT allusions are identified. In addition, the predominant connotation of the fatherhood of God in James is his creatorship: of the heavenly lights, of orphans and widows, and of human beings in general. However, the fatherhood of God is also used in connection with the redemption of believers in Jesus Christ and has an eschatological dimension. Finally Father-God language in James is used to promote care for the underprivileged and respect for all—the very opposite of overbearing patriarchy.
Daño Psíquico y su Valoración Médico Legal en Costa Rica
Authors: Sierra Baca Emilson Alfredo
Published: December 2021

Es relevante poseer conocimiento sobre la valoración médico-legal del daño psíquico, hacer un abordaje de forma general refrescando el concepto de salud mental y sus propias afectaciones. Igualmente conocer agrosomodo: ¿Cómo se clasifica la violencia?, y si ¿Estos diferentes tipos de violencia puede provocar en la psique de una persona un traumatismo o daño psíquico?. Consecuentemente todo daño psíquico tiene sus propios secuelas por ejemplo: las secuelas producidas producto a un entorno violento. De igual modo es trascendental analizar el daño psíquico desde su concepción general y su valoración jurídica, simultáneamente es significativo valorar el concepto de daño moral y sus diferencias con el daño psíquico. Al mismo tiempo es importante conocer la valoración de la Sala Tercera de la Corte sobre lesiones psíquicas de igual modo conocer de forma sucinta el marco legal costarricense con su respectiva valoración médica del daño psíquico. De igual manera es imprescindible apreciar la valoración psicológica del daño psíquico creando conciencia de los efectos producidos por la victimización criminal. Habría que decir el proceso de valoración pericial psicológica. Por última instancia y no menos importante conocer los posibles factores y los efectos psíquicos posteriores a una situación victimizante.
La representación mediática de la violencia escolar: El caso de Avellaneda (Argentina)
Authors: Amaranto Barreras Luis Héctor , Gómez Ayelén Suyay , Hidalgo Milena , Szulz Camila
Published: December 2021

El presente trabajo forma parte del Proyecto de Investigación UNDAVCYT: “La representación mediática de la Violencia Escolar: Lo audiovisual como herramienta de intervención.”, subsidiado en su convocatoria 2017 y ejecutado en el transcurso de los últimos años, el cual se desarrolló desde el Departamento de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad Nacional de Avellaneda.

El eje central es el de promover espacios de aprendizaje en el sistema educativo, mediante la producción de materiales audiovisuales, que brinden las herramientas necesarias para reflexionar acerca de las causas y las nociones de la violencia escolar. En esa línea, debemos preguntarnos, ¿qué se señala como violencia en las escuelas?, ¿qué universo construyen los medios de comunicación sobre la violencia y las causas de ella? ¿Qué visión tienen los jóvenes sobre el tema? entre otras. La importancia de este proyecto radica en promover la intervención en el sistema educativo, a través de la herramienta audiovisual como lugar de ruptura y creación donde más jóvenes puedan intervenir en los procesos de producción de conocimiento sobre la denominada “violencia escolar”.

En definitiva, la propuesta promueve un diálogo articulado entre los análisis de las representaciones mediáticas, las nociones centrales de este debate y la voz de los/as estudiantes para desarrollar productos audiovisuales que contengan la mirada de los jóvenes sobre la problemática de la violencia en ámbitos educativos en la localidad de Avellaneda (Argentina).
Estereotipos y miradas de los Adultos Mayores en los medios de comunicación
Authors: Fernandez Alfredo Oscar , Puca Molina Santiago
Published: December 2021

Todos los días nos comunicamos de distintas maneras y con diferentes personas. Intercambiamos información a cada momento, a cada instante. Esto lo hacemos en sus diversas modalidades, a saber, interpersonal masiva, directa e indirecta, inmediata y mediada por medios tradicionales, o tecnología de punta. La comunicación implica también el intercambio de imágenes, de información, de conocimientos, de gestos, de palabras… en todo caso de significados, incluyendo estereotipos, prejuicios y múltiples formas de discriminación. Enviamos mensajes o audios de WhatsApp, fotos y videos por Instagram, y compartimos artículos que nos interesan a través de Facebook. Pero, cuando tenemos que hacerlo con un adulto mayor, generalmente lo hacemos cara a cara. A veces suponemos que ellos no tienen celular, o que no saben usar las redes sociales. Respecto a la metodología, se realizó un análisis sobre los lenguajes que circulan en los medios de comunicación de Argentina, sobre todo en los audiovisuales y específicamente en las notas policiales de los informativos.

También se realizó un abordaje teórico sobre diferentes conceptualizaciones y autores que abordan sobre la temática. Como resultado y conclusiones, podemos mencionar a los siguientes interrogantes ¿cambiamos nuestro lenguaje o nuestras expresiones para con los Adultos Mayores? Y cuando estamos en un medio de comunicación, ¿cómo nos referimos a ellos? ¿Utilizamos algún estereotipo como “abuelos o viejitos”, aprovechando el uso del diminutivo como si fuese más condescendiente? Con este trabajo nos proponemos reflexionar sobre el uso del lenguaje en los medios de comunicación cuando nos referimos a un colectivo que –muchas veces- está invisibilizado o solo es sujeto de noticia frente a hechos policiales.
Paz positiva: propuestas para un paradigma integrador
Authors: Marej Katarina
Published: December 2021

La Agenda 2030 tiene por meta construir sociedades pacíficas y justas pero, ¿cómo conseguirlo? Cada vez hay más cuestiones sociopolíticas dirigidas al mundo académico, lo que da una oportunidad para que la investigación para la paz contribuya y genere impacto. Especialmente, el concepto de paz positiva es un tema de creciente interés debido a la necesidad de encontrar nuevas formas de convivencia en sociedades cada vez más diversas. Sin embargo, no existe un paradigma articulado de paz positiva que pueda servir como punto de referencia para la investigación y comunicación interdisciplinaria, así como para la comunicación entre el mundo académico, político y la sociedad. Para contribuir a un desarrollo integrador de la paz positiva, se examinan las posiciones paradigmáticas existentes. Como en su mayoría éstas se ocupan de aspectos ontológicos y axiológicos, se sugiere el paradigma transformador y el paradigma narrativo como complementos adecuados respecto a la metodología y la epistemología. Además, se dan indicaciones sobre lo que debe considerar un investigador como marcos de investigación interdisciplinarios y normativos para cumplir así con la responsabilidad social.

"The completion of this volume of Ekistics makes the guest-editor, Professor Calogero Muscarà, and myself really proud and happy. We are also relieved for having fulfilled, albeit partially and belatedly, a longstanding commitment, and are deeply grateful to all those who have joined us in this tribute to Jean Gottmann who has marked our lives since we first came across some of his thoughts. I remember Calogero Muscarà telling me what a struggle he had to go through for many years obliged to work in universities and other research institutions, without real interest, in physical geography, when his main interests were history and social and political sciences which were "more appealing for the explanation of life." It was only in the mid-1950s when he discovered Gottmann's book La politique des États et leur géographie, that he began to understand how effectively geography could be connected to his real interests. The long period of close collaboration, both nationally and internationally, between Gottmann and Muscarà, which started 20 years later in 1977, only ended with Gottmann's death in 1994 but Muscarà's keen interest and personal involvement in promoting Gottmann's thought never ceased. I myself, an architect-planner, already fully engaged in ekistics, and a close collaborator of Constantinos A. Doxiadis, will never forget the day I first met Gottmann in the early 1960s and how avidly I absorbed the relevance of his remarks on the complexities involved when trying to apply the interdisciplinary approach needed in assessing conditions for planning action. And this continued during all the years and on all the occassions I had the good fortune to be with him."
