Enfoques disciplinarios de la seguridad alimentaria en México: aportes y limitaciones para construir una perspectiva integral

Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600

Abstract

The replacement of traditional diets with industrial foods in Mexico, as well as the limited food availability and access, increased obesity, and other public health concerns, have led this research to combine a variety of disciplinary perspectives regarding food security (FS). We present a multidisciplinary explanatory model of food security that integrates three perspectives: a) Public and Nutritional Health (PNH), b) Family Income (FI), and c) Symbolic and Cultural (SC). We propose that in the context of FS, people and communities have different abilities with respect to food selection and consumption based on their food-related beliefs, knowledge, and practices, as well as their social network, which determine their ability to satisfy their physiological, social, and symbolic needs and thereby maximize their quality of life. We hope that this interdisciplinary approach will contribute to a better comprehension of food security into the sociocultural complexity and significance, to contribute to the development of improved social policy in Mexico.

The energy of food. Polyphony and food ambivalences in communities of Oaxaca

Laura Montesi, José Alejandro Meza-Palmeros — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600

In an epidemiological context marked by increasing rates of metabolic disorders and dietary concerns, a “discursive polyphony” related to dietary prescriptions, reproduced by different subjects, has emerged. This multiplicity of often contradictory discourses contributes to generate resignifications in the population on the proposed prescriptions that translate into refractory food practices. The concept of “energy”—managed in food labeling, biomedical discourses on metabolism, and the population's lay understandings of strength and health—constitutes a key piece in this discursive polyphony. Drawing on ethnographic examples from Oaxaca, southern Mexico, we analyze the different connotations that the concept of “energy” has in relation to food and health, taking as an example the case of maize and dietary restrictions in indigenous people with diabetes. We show how calories, energy and strength generate discrepancies and assonances in the various discursive subjects, and how all this is accompanied by emotional concerns and ambivalences.

La feminización de la pobreza energética. Análisis de necesidades y satisfactores de cocción de alimentos con mujeres indígenas de Oaxaca

Julio Ulises Morales López — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600

In the document, the concept of feminization of energy poverty is disclosed, which takes up the analytical contributions of two concepts: the feminization of poverty and energy poverty, which emphasize the repercussions that capitalism and patriarchy have resulted in indigenous women.

Through an ethnographic investigation of a committee of women who contribute community work in a soup kitchen, the findings show that the concept of feminization of energy poverty can contribute to a better understanding of the social processes of women in contexts of poverty, the analysis of energy needs and satisfiers account for multiple processes of vulnerability and damage to health caused by the inappropriate use of energy or associated technologies and practices, as well as gaps in the operation of public policies regarding canteens community. In the final reflections, they suggest four elements to consider about the concept of feminization of energy poverty, these elements seek to contribute knowledge to this analytical subfield that every day has greater relevance and social relevance.

El El desarrollo de habilidades interdisciplinarias a través del aprendizaje basado en problemas. Análisis de un caso en la licenciatura de humanidades y narrativas multimedia de la Universidad Rosario Castellanos de la CDMX

Josefina Pantoja Meléndez — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600

Problem-based learning is an effective strategy to develop interdisciplinary competencies in university students. This case study was carried out in the Bachelor of Humanities and Multimedia Narratives, belonging to Universidad Rosario Castellanos in Mexico City, using a mixed methodology that combined qualitative and quantitative approaches. Qualitative data was collected through questionnaires, observation logs and document analysis, and subsequently quantified to compare the students' work at the beginning of their career with those carried out two years later. The results showed significant improvements in the development of interdisciplinary skills in students, which underlines the significant contribution of this methodology to comprehensive academic training. This training is essential to successfully address the problems faced by both society and the world, unavoidable priorities in the field of higher education.

Challenges between images: methodological work with/alongside visualities

Verónica Capasso, Ornela Barone Zallocco — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600

This issue of INTER DISCIPLINA brings together different approaches to the study of visualities, prioritizing views trans/in/end disciplined. The five articles that make up the dossier share a concern for methodological work with/alongside visualities and their compilation aims to share both approaches and objects of varied studies and to encourage thinking about potentialities, limitations and uncertainties. In this sense, one of the objectives sought is to socialize different works with/alongside visualities. This means not limiting oneself to a superficial or literal understanding of images, but rather focusing on their complex semantic structure, the visual logics and practices associated with them: their materiality, production, appropriation, reproduction, modification, resignification; what they allow us to open, think, feel and link.

Artistic agencies: rethinking the agency of artistic works from an interdisciplinary perspective

Raíza Ribeiro Cavalcanti — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600

In this article, I aim to conduct a review of my doctoral thesis on the agency of artistic works, nearly ten years later, updating this sociological premise to add complexity. Building upon this, I will seek to elaborate on how, through new research involving the vis- ual, I perceived other powers at play in the agency of artistic works that refer not only to the discursive, but also to the imaginary, interagency dimension, and even reflections on the post-human. These new issues raised by artistic works lead me to seek an understanding of their agencies not only at the level of their circulation in institutional spaces but also to observe how they produce imagetic powers in a contest for future imaginaries. The conclusion of this reflection is to ponder on the sociology of art that I am interested in pursuing today: one that requires both intense and broad interdisciplinary debate and a methodology that considers not only the discursive/semiotic, like the image itself, but also understands the visual as an entity/being capable of social action/transformation from its own materialities.

An approach to the historiophoty and countervisuality of Afro-American visual representations

Mauricio Sánchez Menchero — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600

The article highlights the importance of considering, from a parahistoriographic perspective and with different devices of still and moving images —painting, photography, and film—, the management of the visual to construct a historiographic narrative or historiophoty of the visual representation of African Americans. This is achieved through the analysis of a visual device through three types of plastic, photographic, and filmic products created throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. In this way, with the category of historiophoty, some cases were identified where expressions of power were manifested through visual imposition and their resistance through counter-visuality, as has been the case with the Afro-American community.

Amazon in pictures: about visual education through National Geographic Magazine

Ana Paula Nunes Chaves, Maria Flavia Barbosa Xavier — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600

Images are resources historically used to represent multiple themes, and in geographic education it is no different. Images collaborate in the construction of geographic imaginaries and educate us about spaces, people and cultures. Based on Nicholas Mirzoeff’s contributions to visual culture and Michel Foucault’s notion of archive, we explore the visual narratives of one of the most important biomes, the Amazon Rainforest. To do so we investigated the National Geographic collection in 24 reports, published between 1889 and 2021, with explicit mention of the forest. In the 20th century, there was a progressive incorporation of images into reports, emphasizing a picturesque biome, primitive people and traditional customs, in addition to fauna and flora. In the 21st century, the main themes are environmental problems and regional conflicts over land use. Indigenous peoples have been silenced in reporting, although their images are abundant. Therefore, there is an invisibility of more plural and complex narratives related to the national reality of the Amazon in National Geographic. The magazine collaborates in the creation of visual narratives capable of teaching us about people and forests, as its images make up a fundamental element in the construction of identity, culture and even Brazilian geographic space.

From theatrical performance to photography: methodological challenges of an investigation into Michoacan theatre in Mexico

Yuri Constanza Páez Triviño — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600

This article analyzes to what extent ethnography and photography can contribute to the reconstruction of theatrical experiences in the field of public pedagogies. Photography enables a creative power from a bet of performative writing of the theatrical scene. This is based on a scene from the play Mujeres de arena presented in the city of Morelia, Michoacán. Some conceptual reflections on photography, ethnography, writing as a performative exercise and the relationship with public pedagogies are raised. Finally, it is pointed out that the reconstruction of theatrical scenes in the midst of a context of violence can draw more clearly the public pedagogies of theater in Michoacán and with it, recognize the potential of this artistic manifestation in the transmission of knowledge, in the provocation of questions about the world, in the possibility of challenging established conceptions, in the awakening of conscience and, above all, in promoting critical reflection.

Researching with/alongside visualities: uncertainties and potentialities

Verónica Capasso, Ornela Barone Zallocco — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600

This paper proposes to share positionings, becomings, uncertainties and potentialities of research with/along with visualities and also consider the views that (are) produced, as well as invisibilities and counter-visualities. The aim is to share possible heuristics of working with visualities, which are not limited to a superficial, decorative or merely literary understanding of the image. Visualities are understood from the complex semantic narratives that construct and structure them, also keeping in mind the sensitivities and material conditions through which they circulate, appropriate and reproduce. It is highlighted that the study and deepening with/along with visualities requires a transdisciplinary methodology as well as an in/end disciplinary one. This makes it possible to understand visualities from various epistemological, (aesthetic) and ontological angles, considering their materiality and the social relations that they produce, promote or limit, as well as the views that they create. In this context, methodologies, reflections and questions from the authors’ ongoing research are developed and shared, in order to continue investigating the potential of researching with/together with images.

Elke Köppen — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600

El libro no es un simple inventario, es una selección de ejemplos los cuales se ofrecen en una cartografía relacional. Desde una perspectiva predominantemente filosófica, orienta en la gran diversidad de enfoques en el panorama del tratamiento científico de la imagen y ofrece así bases más sólidas de cooperación interdisciplinaria.

Otros saberes, otros mundos: miradas interdisciplinarias y decoloniales a la construcción sociohistórica de las espiritualidades, de Andrea Meza Torres y Guadalupe Valencia García (coords.)

Reyna Carretero Rangel — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600

Este libro nos conecta, desde sus primeros párrafos, con la vida, el corazón y los otros saberes posibles. En su brillante introducción realizada por las coordinadoras Andrea Meza Torres y Guadalupe Valencia García se expresan algunas de las interrogantes de la obra: ¿si de acuerdo con el “mito eurocéntrico”, las condiciones de posibilidad de la ciencia son la secularización y la razón, cómo se explica el esplendor y fuente de conocimiento como la desarrollada en la Edad de Oro de Bagdad, de la cual esa misma Europa ha abrevado como base de su “renacimiento”?, ¿por qué en las civilizaciones como la musulmana y la mesoamericana la experiencia espiritual es indisoluble de la experiencia científica? La pléyade de pensadores integrantes del texto realiza una importante contribución para dar respuesta, aportando así a la ardua labor de pensar nuestro tiempo y el tiempo por venir de otro modo posible.

La ola que viene: tecnología, poder y el gran dilema del siglo XXI, de Mustafa Suleyman y Michael Bhaskar

Alejandro Labrador Sánchez — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600

Traducido a nuestra lengua por Claudia Fernández, el ensayo resulta erudito, ameno y elocuente, más allá de términos muy “especializados”, mismos que requieren una formación experta. No obstante, los autores cuidaron una exposición límpida y accesible a una amplitud de públicos. Otra ventaja es la forma en la cual está emplazado el libro: inicia con un glosario de términos (clave), un prólogo el cual facilita al lector la apertura de los contenidos esenciales, y un índice dividido en cuatro partes: 1. Homo tecnologicus; 2. La próxima ola; 3. Estados del fracaso, y, 4. A través de la ola; seguido por los agradecimientos, y por último las notas abarcando las páginas 227 a 391.
