La televisión colombiana y la formación ciudadana en salud de mujeres televidentes

Reproducción de lógicas individualistas y de consumo

Alejandro Agudelo Calle

Resumen

Este artículo se pregunta por el aporte que hace la televisión a la formación ciudadana en términos de educación para la salud y para la acción política en Colombia. Utilizando el análisis textual y la etnografía de audiencias, el estudio cualitativo propone elementos empíricos descriptivos e interpretativos que permiten comprender el proceso comunicativo televisivo y su incidencia en la formación ciudadana en salud. Se realizaron 40 entrevistas a profundidad: 30 a televidentes y 10 a productores televisivos, y se analizaron más de 100 horas de contenido audiovisual de cuatro programas. Se concluye que la televisión tiene potencial para formar ciudadanos en salud, pero, en el caso colombiano, la televisión aporta mínimamente a este propósito por dos razones: aborda una dimensión individualista de la salud, excluyendo la dimensión política, y privilegia nociones cosméticas y biomédicas de la salud, por un lado, superficiales y, por el otro, enfocadas en la enfermedad y en su prevención.

Les études de genre et les mouvements ethnico-raciaux en Colombie

Entre méfiances et défis

Mara Viveros Vigoya

Résumé

Dans cet article, il s’agira d’exposer les dilemmes auxquels sont confrontées les études féministes colombiennes et celles portant sur le genre dans le contexte socio-politique contemporain caractérisé par la reconnaissance de la multiculturalité des sociétés latino-américaines. Pour ce faire, nous évoquerons d’abord les évolutions que le féminisme colombien a connues depuis les années 1970, en développant ses paradigmes d’action et de réflexion qui sont devenus de plus en plus diversifiés. Nous examinerons ensuite la position actuellement adoptée par les mouvements de femmes autochtones et afrodescendantes dans les débats féministes colombiens à propos des dilemmes et des nouvelles perspectives que la mondialisation a imposés aux mouvements sociaux.

Migrantes y vida pública en Cuba

Estrategias transnacionales de ciudadanos cubanos residentes en Ecuador

Liudmila Morales Alfonso and Liosday Landaburo Sánchez

Resumen

El artículo analiza cómo se reconfigura la participación de los migrantes en la vida pública cubana, a partir del proceso de actualización del modelo económico, político y social que inició en 2008. Este grupo, que había sido excluido de la vida pública nacional por una conjunción entre políticas y discursos oficiales—que sustentó el imaginario de una migración sin retorno, por causas políticas, y de una oposición nosotros/ellos—se beneficia de una Cuba más abierta al mundo y consecuente con la migración transnacional. Aunque el camino hacia una ciudadanía plena continúe lleno de obstáculos, existen nuevas oportunidades de participación en la vida pública, que el artículo mide desde la inserción de cubanos residentes en Ecuador en la economía, formal e informal; el mantenimiento de un status migratorio en Cuba y el flujo de información y comunicación con su país natal.

Beyond the American culture wars

A call for environmental leadership and strengthening networks

Kate A. Berry

Abstract

This article focuses on the United States (US), looking at the American culture war specifically as it relates to environmental issues. Looking at the US today is a reminder that the culture wars are as overtly political as they are culturally motivated, and they diminish social cohesion. The term “culture wars” is defined as increases in volatility, expansion of polarization, and obvious conflicts in various parts of the world between, on the one hand, those who are passionate about religiously motivated politics, traditional morality, and anti-intellectualism, and, on the other hand, those who embrace progressive politics, cultural openness, and scientific and modernist orientations. The article examines this ideological war in contemporary environmental management debates. It identifies characteristics of environmental leadership and discusses how networks can act as environmental leaders.

Impactos socioculturales del emprendedor en el polo de desarrollo turístico del estado de Quintana Roo, desde un enfoque territorial

María del Pilar Jiménez Márquez and Lucila Zárraga Cano

Resumen

El objetivo del presente trabajo es estudiar los impactos socioculturales del emprendedor en el polo de desarrollo turístico del estado de Quintana Roo, que se ha conformado por flujos migratorios a lo largo de sus 47 años de existencia. Se trata de una zona atractiva por distintos motivos en particular para personas que buscan mejorar su calidad de vida, y que al desarrollar sus actividades productivas generan diferentes ventajas competitivas. Esta investigación se plantea desde un enfoque territorial que abarca una perspectiva heurística considerando al territorio como el escenario construido. Utiliza herramientas de tipo cualitativo y desarrolla un análisis de los comercializadores de artesanías además de incorporar estudios realizados por Centros de Investigación del estado de Quintana Roo. Identifica los impactos socioculturales del emprendedor, la generación de redes y la manera en que se conforma el territorio en un destino turístico.

On the evolutions of the Arab Spring

Gilberto Conde

Abstract

This article looks back at the 2011 Arab Spring where the movements that brought hope to the region and beyond seem to have gone astray. The military has taken over in Egypt, while Libya, Syria and Yemen have descended into civil strife with tremendous human costs. Bahrain has witnessed repression that has overwhelmed the opposition, and while Tunisia, the country where Arab Spring began, has avoided the violence characterizing the aforementioned states, change has remained rather limited. As for other countries that rode on the same wave of mobilizations, hopes for democratic transformation have been subdued in some-what less violent contexts but with varying degrees of pressure from the state. This article examines what has happened to the Arab Spring countries, why and what is required to democratically transform the region.

Policy coherence for development and migration

Analyzing US and EU policies through the lens of normative transformation

Harlan Koff

Abstract

The European Union’s (EU) 2015–2016 “migration/asylum crisis” gave discussions over the relationships between migration, security and development renewed prominence in global affairs. In response to record migratory flows, the EU, like the United States (US), has implemented security responses to migration aimed at protecting territorial integrity. This article addresses the migration–security–development nexus through the lens of policy coherence for development (PCD). It compares EU and US migration policies within the framework of the “transformative development” associated with the Sustainable Development Goals. It contends that these donors have undermined transformative development through the regionalization of development aid, which has contributed to the securitization of both development and migration policies. Thus, the article contends that new mechanisms for change need to be identified. It introduces the notion of “normative coherence” and proposes a potential role for regional human rights courts in fostering migration-related PCD.

Regional and sub-regional effects on development policies

The Benelux and the Nordic countries compared

Lauri Siitonen

Abstract

This is a comparative study of development policy behavior, testing the Europeanization hypothesis and the idea of sub-regional identification. It examines development policies of three Benelux countries and four Nordic countries. The comparison was partly quantitative, drawing from OECD data, and partly qualitative, based on policy analysis of similarities and differences in development policies of the countries under examination. The examination provides some evidence in support of the Europeanization hypothesis as far as the EU goals towards growth in member states’ aid volume and commitment to policy coherence for development were concerned. The alternative explanation was found to be stronger in helping understand performance in multilateral aid and allocation of bilateral aid. Common to the countries under examination is that they approximate a corporatist type of political economy, which helps in understanding identification and norm diffusion within sub-regional schemes. Neither explanation proposed here succeeded in explaining commitment to donor coordination.
