In this paper we analyze the reasons for voseo's vitality in Medellín (Colombia). Based on the data obtained through surveys and interviews, it can be affirmed that the vitality of the paisa voseo will continue to exist because the people of Medellin, although they consider the voseo a provincial term, do not stop using it, since they do not mind being evaluated as provincials due to their humble and proud character. Thus, the voseo will continue to be the identity symbol of the paisa group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the present article of scientific investigation lies on the deep study of the concept "socioformative teaching" due to the absence of a conceptual. Materials and methods; it is used conceptual cartography as a method, following de eight sides of the analysis proposed, taking as a base primary sources. Results and conclusions: the clarification of the concept is presented along with its methodological. New studies are suggested about methodology and its impact on the complete formation of students.

This article explores some aspects of the scheme of representation that the black communities of the department of Chocó created on marine/ coastal ecosystems, floodplain and Andean foothills that they have inhabited for more than three centuries. The entrance road to this aspect of intangible heritage is oral tradition, which makes visible that this territorial experience has been structured not only from the practical making and thinking, but from symbolic components which have provided reference points (imaginary axiological models, standards of conduct, ways of encoding reality, etc..) that have helped generate a significant portion of this ethnicity's cultural experience in northwestern Colombia.

The history of cartography has undergone a revolution in terms of disciplinary expectations and academic production. One of the principal figures behind this shift, Brian Harley, explored she relationship between cartography, knowledge, and power, stimulating the analysis of the role of maps and cartographic rationality in culture, social, and political terms. This article summarizes his contributions and provides an overview on the state of the history of cartography internationally and in Colombia and Latin America. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the legacy of Bernhardus Varenius, one of the greatest geographers of all times. He was the responsible for the secularization of geography, by separating it from the theological field and adopting mathematical and empirical methods from natural sciences. In addition to his work, the author presents an overview of the biography of Varenius, including his education, family and personal anecdotes. An analysis of his research is conducted with particular emphasis on his numerical representations which are considered an invaluable legacy for the history and education on geography.

Modernity's scientific disciplines have squared the richness and variety of modalities through which encounters give shape to the world, and to our experience of it, in an ensemble of a-priori, fixed and isolated categories, rigidly structured in theories, models and paradigms. The challenge for the Complexity approaches is to be able to produce meanings, create concepts and perception modalities that allow us to think without reducing our experience nor turn it into a stereotype. The time for theoreticians, for apathetic observers is coming to an end and it becomes unavoidable to create approaches and practices able to shelter the multidimensionality and diversity of our experience. Among them, emphasis is made on the dynamic networks approach that allows to gene rate non-dualistic multidimensional and fluent cartographies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Positivist cartography objectively assumed a reality representation, looking for techniques and designs to reach perfection in the mapping process. It is argued in this paper that the new theoretical approach of the so called emergent cartography generates contingent conditions, relational processes and context-dependent maps. Within that transitory conception, network cartography and flow maps better explain the geographic change in the Americas, influenced by the dynamic of the global economy. Some examples demonstrate the new cartographic vision which is considered more efficient in the informal geographic education of the community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is the result of the papers presented in the conference "Communication in Europe, seeking relationships among research and society", which did not pretend to establish a whole overview about communication research in France but, from different kind of indicators, try to organize a first instance cartography about that subject. Thus, a first exploration outline is presented: conditions of this discipline in France; an analysis of the situation of public organizations related to the subject, as well as of the reviews and new concepts about that topic; it finishes with a discussion lists analysis on those research and communication practices which had been carry out in the Internet.

This work represents a study of the geologic and environmental processes that produce different types of geologic and environmental dangers and risk in a sector of the coastal area of the city of Moa. The authors have developed a system of geographical information (GIS) of the sector that allows the cartography of the natural and human environment. It has been good to show the geologic and environmental characteristics of the territory, providing a global image of their potentialities, degree of deterioration and vulnerability in front of exogenous an endogenous natural processes conditioned by an interactive analysis of the geo-indicators more related with these processes. The implementation of this GIS have allowed to obtain the combination of different types of maps to be able the determination of the degree of geologic menaces for inundation and movement of masses, earthquakes and others. These maps were made taken as bases the most important geo-environmental indicators. It was possible to separate the areas with different intensity of occurrence of the different dangers and geologic and environmental risks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
