By means of this paper, we will try to give an account of the specificity of Therapeutic Accompaniment in the community, understanding this as a mean that offers tools for prevention and promotion of mental health. To do so, we will delimit and describe the work carried out in the N.G.O. Psicologías Sin fronteras, in the device called "Carpas de Salud Mental" (Mental Health Tents), which aims at accompanying the communities in the transition through the mental health demands that may exist, generating a transformation in their realities and fostering autonomous decisions in relation to the health/illness/attention. We will take, as a reference, the participatory understood investigation from the community, as a democratic model of knowledge production, which involves the active participation of its members, encouraging community autonomy, understanding the latter as a fundamental pillar in terms of human rights.

In this paper we analyze the break down in the political agencement of a theater workshop, carried out during 2019 and early 2020 in the neighborhood "Pozo de Cañada", a rural settlement on the outskirts of a city in the interior of the Province of Córdoba, within the framework of a political-social organization of the Confederation of Workers of the Popular Economy (CTEP). For this purpose, we use the systematization of experience in conjunction with ethnography, from a slow description. The political agencement of this organization was composed of a socialist and anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, anti-colonialist and antipatriarchal ideology, and daily practices, in which we participated as workshop participants. We identified in the territorial work the predominance of a top-down interventionist logic, instead of a bottom-up community action, characteristic of Latin American community psychology, as well as contradictions between what we said and what we did, between the political ideology and the daily micro-politics. We can think of these tensions in the counterpoint between a classic militant ethos and a new militant ethos, between neoliberal capitalism and popular economy, between a still structural reticularity of patriarchy and feminisms. Situated in the midst of these tensions, as the days went by, amidst gossip, vacuums, silences and hurtful oversights, something broke down, opening ethical-political and affective differences that dissolved the theater workshop. We believe it is valuable to recognize the ruptures left by territorial experiences in order to continue cultivating strategies and tactics as fertile casuistry to fertilize the seeds of life.

The present paper wants to share the project called "Participative Community methodologists in ludoteca felt and thought from education". It stared in 2022. The idea is part of a process in the subject Community and Institutional Psychology, that belongs to the career of University technicality in Social Education of the Faculty of Education of the National University of Cuyo. This process began 5 year ago and aims deepening and building bridges of knowledge and meanings between Social Education and Community Psychology. Furthermore, this experience is part of the Educational Social Practices Program (PSE) belonging to the Secretariat of Extension and Linkage of the UNCuyo. This project sought to ensure that students who were studying the university subjectof Community and Institutional Psychology, of the FED - UNCuyo, applied participatory community methodologies. They recived the tutoring of advanced students and graduates of the carrear and teachers. The project was carried out in a place called "ludoteca" in the "Nucleus of Innovation and Development of Opportunities" (NIDO). In addition, the specific objectives were: 1- Carry out methodologies that promote understanding of the socio-historical context; 2- Analyze current problems and needs that afflict the child population; 3- Understand the population dynamics involved and 4- Maintain, through play, a healthy space that favors the construction of strategies to address the problems of daily life. The starting point was theoretical references that put in a constant dialogue between community psychology and social education knowledges in latin America. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Situated between the social studies of art and community psychology, in this paper we investigate the reception experience of the contemporary dance work "Otoño" by the independent group Cantorodado. We conducted a socio-semiotic analysis of the reception of different audiences from popular and marginal sectors of the Paravachasca Valley (Córdoba, Argentina), in the framework of a collaborative ethnographic research initiated in 2018. To do so, we analyzed the play "Otoño" and then, the experiences of reception. We identified that the play "Otoño" addresses different daily violence from polysemic scenic compositions, using a realistic and open code. We recognize different reception experiences that focus on the situations of aggression in the play "Otoño", configuring emotions such as "sadness", "anxiety" and "fear", and interpretations such as "domestic violence", "exorcism" and "horror movie". Thus, we observe a relationship between the aesthetic and political proposal of the play "Otoño" and the experiences of the participating audiences. Recognizing that contemporary dance functions as a field of restricted production in the region under study and is named as elite dance, the results found lead us to think, in the first place, of an articulation between popular and elite cultures. Secondly, recognizing an area of vacancy of this type of studies in the field of community psychology, we echo Martín Barbero's words regarding the need to investigate the cultural consumption of popular groups without saturating them with meanings.

This paper focuses on the participation decisions considered in the construction process of the documentary "Las desafiantes. Mujeres de pie que pudieron salir adelante". This is about the realization of an audiovisual support in the social documentary genre, from the perspective of community, alternative and popular communication. It was carried out together with the neighborhood organization Mujeres de Pie of the city of San Luis, from 2019 to July 2020. In this paper we will address the characteristics of participation that took place in the process of construction of the documentary and how these processes were woven, specifically analyzing the feedback spaces. From them we can see the nodal axes that we understand were put into play in the production of the social documentary and made possible its realization from the voices and desires of women.

The main objective of this paper is to study some questions that we consider fundamental about the methodological position of Jerome Bruner in relation to research, production and communication of knowledge in the field of Psychology and its interrelations with other social sciences, based on the consideration of human phenomena as inherently psychological, social, cultural and historical. For this purpose, we resorted to an analytical-comparative hermeneutic method taking as a documentary basis articles and books written by the author in the period between 1960 - 2015. In these texts we believe we find his most important critical elaborations on positivism and his methodological proposal of overcoming it, which here, we only attempt a first approximation. It is an interpretation, a recapitulation and a rewriting of some of the knowledge bequeathed by Bruner on how to approach "the proper study of man" (Bruner, 1991) in order to continue along the path taken under the challenge that he himself proposed to us: to go beyond the information received.

The purpose of the following paper is to expose how certain figures of Argentine thought thought thought the university in its transforming dimension. Thus, we will appeal to recover some voices of that thought -from Deodoro Roca, through Arturo Jauretche to Eduardo Rinesi-. But these thoughts were produced in a specific historical context -the years of the Reform of '18, the years of Peronism and Kirchnerism- in which populist governments that expanded political and social rights were emerging. Therefore, we recover these voices within the historical experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is a summarized version of the final research paper (TIF) presented by one of the authors for the application for the Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the National University of San Luis. The aforementioned work arises from the demand presented by a group of residents of general and family medicine from the J. locality, who propose a space for psychosocial accompaniment in the face of the requirements of daily medical practice. Based on the above, and using the participatory action research methodology, this psychosocial intervention work had objectives: 1. Develop a self-management experience of group work by resident doctors of General Medicine of the public health system of the Province of San Luis, to address labor and psychosocial discomforts produced in the performance of their tasks and, 2. Propose a mutual aid group work device (GAM) that implies a self-managed space for critical reflection and collective learning regarding a healthy role performance. As a result, the resident physicians achieved: 1. Learn to recognize and resignify as a group the labor and psychosocial discomforts that the profession entails; 2. Build group skills to handle situations that generate psychosocial discomfort and/or conflicts in the work environment. Conclusions: The proposed objectives were met, in addition to building a group work device called the Mutual Aid Group, applicable to different populations or related work groups.

The role of scientific and technological developments in the well-being of current societies is fundamental at a political, economic and social level (Albornoz, 2012). However, not all governments perceive science and technology policies as a priority. Indeed, many neoliberal governments, mainly in developing Latin American countries, tend not to recognize this role, developing public policies that undermine the desirable development of scientific and technological research and its application. Such is the case of government management for the 2015-2019 period, which, as will be seen in the next few pages, defunded and dismantled the National Science and Technology System (Filmus, 2019). This paper will reflect on the public policies of said management regarding satellite technological development, in contrast to the policies promoted by the previous government. In the first place, the social value of scientific and technological development and public science and technology policies will be made explicit. Then, an overview will be given of the way in which these policies have been developed in the period 2003-2019. Finally, the ARSAT case will be analyzed and contextualized in said panorama, by virtue of accounting for the importance of the implementation of state public policies linked to technological development, in this particular case to the construction of geostationary satellites for telecommunications.

The objective of this paper is to share, from an action research perspective, the political and organizing process of the collective "Return Home Morelos" in its demand for information, truth, and justice as human rights in the context of disappearances. The group's political experience began in June 2021 in the state of Morelos, where there is a waitlist of five years to identify bodies during the burial process, creating a prime testing ground for the authorities to slow down the administration of justice. Collectives of women in the state of Morelos participated in the identification of bodies of disappeared people during this burial process. The experiences of these collectives created theoretical, reflective, and emotional lessons in their training process. the Mexican government first denies the use of forced disappearances as a strategy to inflict terror, and second, denies the victims it has disappeared. The reality is that Mexico has more than 100,000 missing persons. This setting disrupts human rights in Mexico, truth and justice are simulated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we briefly describe the presentations given at the workshop entitled "Political Psychology and the tension between generalization and particularity: replicability, ecological validity, sampling." After a brief reference to the discussions proposed at the meeting, we introduce an analytical reflection about the meaning of replication for social science in general and Political Psychology in particular. We reflect on the relevance but also the imperatives of replication in our discipline. Based on the presentations, we propose to advance towards more sophisticated research designs and studies within natural environments and with general populations to achieve more robust evidence. We question the "required" direction of the replication (North to South), and invite deepening the dialogue and readings between scholars from the country and the region as a possible path to begin to establish theories on our own. We also suggest the need to rethink our biases, particularly ideological and political ones, in contexts of increasing social polarization. But above all, we insist on the relevance of theoretical constructs and the defense of particularism (cultural and contextual factors) to guide the replications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ideas addressed in this paper are based on reflections regarding the recent promulgation of Law 27.610 "Access To Voluntary Interruption Of Pregnancy" and the importance of the different agents involved in the dinamics of (non) reproductive policies. The importance of the feminist social movements along with the creation, on behalf of LGBTIQ+, of an identitary recognition through politicization of subjective and corporal performance, materialized in fragmented public policy along with the subsequent exclusion/inclusion of identities. This political-philosophical lecture is outlined by the denial of (non) reproductive rights, and situates the State as a necropolitic agent who obstrutcs the application of previous and present laws in colaboration with health agents. The main considerations regard the implementation of necropolitics based on biologized subjectivity, corporal autonomy training and the resistance of collective movements that pursue identitary recognition.

The present paper makes a theoretical and analytical journey on the notions of identity and subjectivities, to then make a proper definition that could be also be employed when working with digital discourses. The notions of cyberdiscourse, digital identities and subjectivities are intertwined here to offer a perspective that includes not only the discursive materialities of the users but also other dimensions such as the inclusion of the body and its expression and the political dimension, without which the subjectivities are unthinkable.

The university in its constant dynamics of changes and transformations, enables and inhabits processes of construction and deconstruction of subjectivities. Being with the other permanently challenges us as professionals and human beings. The following paper proposes to think about possibilities based on two experiences of university situations. The relevance of the reflection in the own teaching practices stands out, to think in key of construction; the daily challenges of professional work. The production of senses and knowledge in the university context is an occasion for the construction and permanent reconstruction of subjectivities. Multiplicity of ways of being, thinking and feeling of people framed in collective projects. It is about becoming aware and sensitizing ourselves, from an empathic attitude, to the situations and people around us with the constant predisposition to learn from each other, in a permanent process of construction of practices and discourses.

This paper addresses the relationship between Local Government (LG) and the exercise of political participation; from an approximation to justifications about the relevance of this level. Two perspectives are developed according to how the participation of citizens is positioned in these justifications. The first refers to the intrinsic values attributed to the GL, and the second refers to the socializing process in political-institutional terms. From this approach it is possible to question the existence of a participatory pattern -both electoral and nonelectoral- that differentiates GL from the provincial and national levels. Approaches to this question are approximated from empirical evidence provided by two types of sources. On the one hand, studies that analyze the political involvement in the city of Córdoba considering electoral and non-electoral dimensions, including the involvement in institutions designed under a participatory conception of democracy. And on the other, official and journalistic data on electoral participation in the three levels of government. This strategy makes it possible, in turn, to assess the strength of Local Government to carry out democratic principles and to develop an active citizenship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The sociopolitical complexity is a representative and discursive instance around which the state demonstrates a power over civil society that the latter will respond with social entrepreneurship. In both cases, to governmental and civil influence are areas which this paper discusses to specify a model of observable variables. For this purpose, we carried out a selection of sources in databases indexed during the period from 2010 to 2014. Subsequently, the data was analyzed in its content using matrices then be specified in indicators of a construct. Specified model anticipate scenarios of uncertainty, risk, exclusion or insecurity that may modify the asymmetrical relations between political and civic spheres. From the literature review, the model specification was discussed to establish its scope and limits. Therefore, the contribution of this work to the state of knowledge lay in the model specification and the possibilities of analysis and empirical test. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the concept of "repression" in the Freudian sense and the practice of state repression in the political sense; from the reflections of Marx and Freud. It also risks an interpretation in which both reflections appear linked to think different political situations of our time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper work constitutes an attempt to make complex the analysis matrix about the implications of the extractive industry in Latin America; worning about differents extralegal mechanisms on wich is based the model itself. To achieve such content we appeal to some concepts and analysis axes made out by a french thinker, Michel Foucault, such as: governmentality, biopolitics, power networks, subject, and subjectivity. For the written preparation they were taking into account other literature sources, especially those books and scientific publications made by latinamerican intellectuals critical to the extractive model as they are among other the works of: Alberto Acosta, Maristella Svampa, Eduardo Gudynas, Edgardo Lander, Luis Tapia y Raúl Zibechi.

The main purpose of this research paper is to compare sociodemographic variables, 'cognitive mobilization', sense of -internal and external- 'political efficacy', 'political trust', voting behavior and voting intentions among 16 and 17-year old students of a private and state school in the city of Córdoba between their first and second ballot experience (primary and legislative elections). 'Political ideology' and attitude towards the so-called Youth Vote Act are analyzed through two case studies. The results of the research mark the beginnings of the youth suffrage studies in the city of Córdoba, thus establishing a sense of political efficacy and civic duty and programmatic political knowledge of the secondary students. At the same time, it shows that both groups have similar dynamics, such as the case of the relatives with the greatest impact on the choice of candidates and the level of 'political sophistication' and cognitive mobilization of conservatives and leftists.

In the past decade in Latinamerica, governments with similar characteristics regarding to the impugnment of the neoliberal models of the ninentys had emerged. The argentinian case was not the exception and this was reflected in the recuperation of a national and popular political matrix as an interpretation and legitimation frame for the movilization process of the kirchnerists governments since 2003. Facing this scenario, the proposite of the present paper is to characterize the militancy of members of differents heteronomous kirchnerist organizations. Our main hypothesis is that is possible to identify a new generation of militants in the last few years that started to participate since 2010 and that their experience is different compared with militants that had been formerly involved in politics. For this subject, we will consider a cuantitive database developed from surveys that interview militants in two rallies that took place in Buenos Aires (March 24th and April 27th 2012) as a source. They were conducted in the context of "La movilización en el kirchnerismo (2003-2011)" investigation, devolped by "Colectivo de Estudios sobre Sociología Política" investigation group, in which we take part of, which is directed by Dra. Natalucci and is located in the "Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
