VIRTUE epistemology , *ARGUMENT , *VIRTUES , *VIRTUE , *EXPLANATION - Abstract
The aim of this paper is to offer an explanation of the legitimacy of certain ad hominem arguments by appealing to virtue epistemology. The main thesis is that there are ad hominem arguments that are acceptable if they are conceived as inductive arguments, whose soundness is given by a fair appeal to the interlocutor's epistemic vices. It is argued that some abusive ad hominem arguments are acceptable if they rest on a fair pointing out of the interlocutor's lack of agential intellectual virtues. Likewise, some circumstantial ad hominem arguments would be acceptable if they rest on a fair pointing out of the interlocutor's lack of non-agential intellectual virtues. The paper exposes some problems of other attempts to vindicate ad hominem arguments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The memories of boys and girls who migrate contain past and present experiences of countries of origin and destination, as well as experiences of movement. This paper presents the results of research that aims to identify how migrant children's memories are constructed around experiences of violence and practices of agency. From the perspective of the new social studies of childhood and based on a field study in the city of Barcelona, it shows that in various spaces violence is conditioned by a web of power relations and vectors of differentiation (ethnicity, gender, nationality, age). It concludes that these memories strain the conception of violence against children as an individual, domestic/private problem, and generate meanings that facilitate agency for such childhoods in the present, going beyond vulnerability and subordination.

In recent years, forced marriage as a manifestation of violence against women has entered the public agenda in European Union countries. This is partly due to higher numbers of migrants from regions where it is a regular practice. This paper aims to show the different ways violence manifests itself in forced marriage, both symbolically and practically - in terms of experiences - based on a qualitative sample of women with a range of migration backgrounds residing in Catalonia. The intersectional gender approach of the analysis enables the interaction to be considered of various factors when it comes to understanding contexts of risk and violence, as well as exit strategies from forced marriage.

This paper shows an ethnography of human sciences practices. In an autoanthropology experience, the author aims to follow the trajectory of construction of statistical data in the case of Pesquisa de Emprego e Desemprego da Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre (PED-RMPA). Therefore, the used methodology comprehends the observant participation (because the researcher is both ethnographer and member of the researched group), whose notes were registered in a field diary, interviews with workmates and analyses of PED's documents, especially the manuals. These materials suggest statistical data is a collective that can carry a universe. This paper also reflects on the ability of agency of things that make up this universe. And about the viability of an autoanthropology experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to suggest an analysis model of the multiple voices in literary translation that integrates conceptual tools rooted in the sociology of translation with the linguistic analysis of the linguistic-discursive elements that reinstantiate such voices in the translated text. Section 1 explains the motivations behind this proposal and section 2 describes the main linguistic-discursive and sociological tools selected. Section 3 deals with the methodological details. Section 4 is a case study. It describes the translation process of the novel El maestro de esgrima, by Arturo Pérez-Reverte (1988), into German (Ein Stich ins Herz [Der Fechtmeister]), resorting to the sociological concepts of multiple translatorship, agency, and voice; to that end, the contextual voices in the German translation are reconstructed by looking at three interviews held with the executive translators and with the editor of the series where the German translation appeared. Then, the reinstantiations of such voices in the German translation are analysed, as well as the effects that such reinstantiations have on the individuation of the textual voices and of the implicit reader. This study claims that supplementing the sociological approach with a linguistic-discursive analysis of the translation product opens up new avenues to explore concepts of the sociology of translation in a systematic way, and permits us to understand the phenomenon of equivalence in translation.

This paper analyzes the case of DOCUPERU, an organization that creates audiovisual contents intended to reect on the use of the collaborative documentary, which aims to promote an inclusive culture of active citizens. It is determined that the products designed by José Balado and his team result from collective actions that allow the marginal communities to gain access to some ways of self-representation, rebuilding their memory and speaking of their quotidianness. Firstly this paper presents an overview of the cultural agency. fien, it explains how these forms of amateur production have led to a new boost for the collaborative documentary. Finally, an interview to Balado is transcribed herein; this way he explains the fundamentals making possible to create such collective life experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes how Central American migrant girls and boys construct the translocal in their reality, making use of imagination and memory, in a transnational and contingent context such as the one they experience in their mobility process. An argument is outlined that privileges the voice of childhoods, their memories and projections, and examines the communication media, social and family networks, through which their imaginations are configured. Finally, an analytical approach is made that sees these subjective-objective constructions as a form of resistance to the conditions of vulnerability and violence they face in transit.

The purpose of this article is to analyze different forms of agency assumed by children and young people with respect to child protection policies, specifically, in terms of adoption or foster care processes. To this end, I apply an ethnographic approach to describe and analyze the institutional logic behind the operation of certain residential homes, the guidelines and sanctions that regulate the behavior of the children and young people housed there, and how they, in turn, make sense of and heighten the monitoring and control of these institutions. Secondly, I examine the ways in which children and young people develop their capacity for agency by engaging in dialogue or confronting the officials of the entities that promote and protect their rights; how they attribute meaning to the official's decisions, and how they seek to avoid them or propose alternatives. This paper supports the production of knowledge on how children and young people contribute to shaping social life and, at the same time, is intended to deepen the government's analysis of this sector of the population. I maintain that far from considering state intervention on children and young people as homogeneous and totalizing, the cases reveal the different nuances assumed by child government and how this variability creates the conditions to enable them to carry out their projects. The materials I present and analyze here are the result of field work, carried out over ten years, between 2009 and 2019, in households and entities that promote and protect rights, in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

FEMINISM , *GENEALOGY , *GEOGRAPHY , *CAPITALISM , *GENDER identity - Abstract
The term "post-feminism" has had multiple, contradictory uses in the academic circuit and the Anglo-American media. Although the phenomenon it denotes has expanded beyond the borders of the social, cultural, economic, political and geographical context in which it originates, papers dealing with this issue in the Spanish-speaking world are virtually nonexistent. This article seeks to fill this gap. I present the contours of post-feminism as an analytical concept and attempt to show that the theoretical potential of the term "post-feminism" is only revealed if it is understood as a regime of female subjectivity with global influence intrinsically linked to capitalism and the neoliberal ethos, which incorporates spectacular femininity and hypersexualization, puts "the coloniality of gender" into action and reinforces patriarchy rather than destabilizing it.

11. MODELOS SOCIOLINGÜÍSTICOS DE VARIACIÓN ESTILÍSTICA.

Cutillas Espinosa, Juan Antonio and Hernández Campoy, Juan M.
- Abstract
The study of style within the variationist tradition of Sociolinguistics has been ancillary until very recently despite this centrality in sociolinguistic variation: it has been merely used as an independent variable (extralinguistic parameter) in the correlation of linguistic and extralinguistic variables, rather than as a sociolinguistic resource where to investigate speakers' style management, its effective use, and how style reflects and transmits social meaning -which is both social and linguistic. The variability present within a given speech community is not just a matter of socio-demographic differences among speakers as reflected on their speech (inter-speaker variation), but also -and crucially-different speech styles based on situational contexts, audienceship and/or the image intended to project. The aim of this paper is to provide a critical overview of the main different theoretical approaches developed of stylistic variation in Sociolinguistics: Audio-monitorisation, Audience Design, Script Design, Functional Register and Speaker Design models.

This paper aims to explore the agency trajectories in 16 babies (58% girls; M= 11 months, SD=2) during their interactions with teachers and objects, while they are engaged in pedagogical events. This research was conducted in two public preschools in Cali, Colombia. We used a mixed methods approach to analyze filmic records videotaped for five mornings, capturing preschools' routines. Afterwards, we qualitatively coded interaction sequences for each participating child, using the video annotation coding system ANVIL 5.0. We defined an interaction sequence as a process initiating with a searching behavior, the access to the object, its exploration and abandonment, closing each sequence. Finally, we estimated agency trajectories using STATA 12.O. Our results suggest four agency trajectories, only one of them having favorable results for children agency development. We discuss the role of educational practices in institutional contexts during early development and its implications on children's agency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

JARAMILLO ARANGO, ANTONIO
- Abstract
Within the academic archaeology of the twentieth century, objects were only considered as sources for understanding human action. Based on recent theoretic anthropological proposals, this paper proposes a recursive archaeology, that is, to include the Classic Maya concepts as part of our analysis in order to understand objects as real protagonists in social relationships. In the Maya area, objects have different ways of being in the world which have been identified by the archeology of the Classic period: person-objects, parts of a dividual body and machines. These three ways are explored here through archaeologic contexts and epigraphic texts with the aim of approaching the construction of reality of the Classic Maya. With a multidisciplinary analysis that includes archaeology, epigraphy, history, linguistics and anthropology, a high number of examples coming from different regions in the Maya area is examined. Thus, an overall view of this phenomenon is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to share some similarities about what children and young people obtain from work and school. The main protagonists in the research are children and young people who try to cope with two activities: school learning and work. The objective of this paper is two-fold: on the one hand, to make visible child and adolescent work in our region, since there is not a symbolic or social recognition of it, neither from the school sector nor from people in general and, on the other hand, to show that the school/work relation is a complex one: working children have to deal with different situations in order to keep up schooling: absences, late arrivals, tiredness, temporary desertion, promotion failure, lack of time to study and do homework. These students do not get special attention from their families, the state or the school system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines one aspect of the problem of the relationship between nature and freedom. The expression "surrogate concept of freedom" is usually employed to refer to any notion which, whether accepting or rejecting the concept of freedom, explains both human being and human agency as a natural mechanism. After testing the viability of this view, this paper will reject it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Drawing from an empirical study undertaken by the author at two National Museums in Mexico, this paper examines the interactions of the museums' visitors, as agents that use their capacity and resources to interact with one another as well as with the knowledges and narratives displayed at the museums. Grounded in contemporary debates in the social sciences, the analysis aims at elucidating the dynamics and the experience of power relations as social processes; it presents the different forms in which history and other knowledge, as well skills and abilities, interplay in such processes. The study reveals the social nature of the construction of historical knowledge and its usage —or lack thereof — in the teaching of history and in the formation of national and cultural identities in state institutions such as museums.

- Abstract
The economical practices articulated at exploitation of "arrau" turtle (Podocnemis expansa) in the Middle Orinoco allow us to raise some issues about the historical process in the Colonial and Republican periods. In this paper, we discuss, using a theoretical framework from the archaeology of culture contact, two major issues: the social control on the turtle beaches established by the Jesuit missions and later by the Creoles; and, above all, the agency of indigenous groups exerted before that contexts. The production techniques, social relations in temporary settlements, consumption and material culture were spheres in which existed an native preponderance, demonstrating that the effects of colonialism are always mediated and constituted by the native cultural logics.

This paper proposes to cinsider the migrant struggles as a new field in sociology that ponders over the collective action. This work is an exercise that focuses on struggles led by migrants with or without legal documents. Thus, this emerging social movement can be deciphered. Also, the main actors, practices and normative or political projects of these struggles, as well as the exact role they play on the map of current dissent, are analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The district of Sacsamarca, located in the province of Huanca Sancos in the region of Ayacucho in Peru, was one of the most affected districts by the Internal Armed Conflict during the eighties (CAI, in Spanish). Violence, as an exogenous variable, transformed the political, economic, and social landscape within this community, and left tremendous losses that still have not been overcome. This paper analyzes the loss of agency among Sacsamarca's inhabitants, within a framework of social resilience. For this purpose, we examine three crucial factors that were altered by the CAI: economic, political and demographic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes processes of interaction, tension, conflict and economic interests in one of the major border areas between Mexico and Guatemala. Informal transborder trade involves several actors who have been building these processes pursuant to agency initiatives. From a conceptual perspective, supported by the dialectical relationship between the notions of a border the behavior of transborder actors, it is concluded that in the study area, an informal border-trade integration process has developed and its actors transcend the border, rendering that border permissive.

This paper explores how processes of social mobilization and property parceling framed in the Agrarian Reform National Plan --involving an ample sector of tenant farm laborers in an Andean Nariño large estate between 1958 and 1963-- appear, nearly five decades later, as objects of moral interpretation and appraisal. It analyzes the significance assigned in accounts to the agency of actors involved (peasants, landlords and state); variations in such assigning are connected to the moral frameworks they call on to interpret their past; and their origin is traced back on the various subalternization experiences they faced. I suggest that, when turning out to different sources of moral appraisal, the existence of manifold subjectivation forms makes itself evident depending on their relations to different forms of authority (landlords, church, state), and that they come with various alternative standings face to their past.

In this paper, I review recent contributions to the philosophical reflection on technology. I take as starting point discussions on the ontological nature of artifacts and then discuss questions regarding how we get to know about them and the normative dimensions involved in the making and use of artifacts. Firstly, I introduce the debate between realists and antirealists about the nature of artificial kinds and how the issue is respectively addressed by functional and intentional-historical conceptions. Secondly, I raise some questions about the specificity of functional knowledge as a kind of know-how and discuss about the epistemic privilege of the makers-knowledge. The last section takes up again the traditional debate on artifacts as value bearers and the normative dimensions of technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

"Communities of Meaning as Collective Capabilities. A Communitarian Revision of Amartya Sen's Theory". Sen's Capability Approach it is distinguished in the field of the distributive justice, because It has tried to set evaluatives terms that exceed the atomism of the Utilitarian theories. But some critical thinkers have pointed out that the Approach still keep an individualistic style that restrict its impact at the moment of implementing public policies. For these critics, Sen's basic concepts must be complemented with the idea of collective capability, irreducible to indivudual terms, that allows to account to the intersubjective process of agency and the personal identity constitution. This paper will attempt to present a plausible candidate to the collective capability, that respects the live core of the communitarian comments and that keeps the capability and agency concepts, which are fundamental in Sen's theory.
