The text titled "The Moment of Rupture: Historical Consciousness in Interwar German Thought" presents a dialogue between authors Adriana Alfaro Altamirano and Humberto Beck. Beck's book explores the transformation of religious experience in modernity through the Weimar triad, composed of Ernst Jünter, Ernst Bloch, and Walter Benjamin. The author analyzes the fascinating intellectual history of "the instant" as a way of experiencing time, and how this constitutes a reflection on human beings and their life in common. This theology of time is also compared to Henri Bergson's vision, highlighting the opposition to the linear and sequential conception of time. Additionally, the difference in the appreciation of photography between the Weimar triad and Bergson is mentioned. The text analyzes Bergson's ambivalence towards cinema and its relationship with time. The question of how to explain the contrasts and what is at stake in the debate about time is raised. It is mentioned that Bergson's duration arises from the encounter with science, while instantaneism is born from the experience in the trenches. It is emphasized that Bergson's durée is a critique of science and an invitation to fully inhabit our temporal dimension, while instantaneism is a response to the inhumane experience of war. The text concludes that thinking about time is reflecting on human agency and the possibilities of interpreting and reconstructing the world. [Extracted from the article]

Within the field of studies on digital intermediaries in the domestic and care work sector, some research suggests that these intermediaries exacerbate and perpetuate the inherent labor precariousness of the sector and the social inequalities that sustain it, while others highlight the ambivalence of their effects. Focusing on the organizational structures assumed by digital platforms, the purpose of this article is to shed lights on the differential effects of the various modes of intervention that develop in each context according to their specificity. Through the study of the digital platform Zolvers in Argentina, we analyze its adaptation to a sector characterized by two opposing trends: the formalization of labor relations and the increase in hourly work. This gives rise to three hiring modalities: regular hires managed by the digital platform, regular hires managed by household employers, and occasional hires. Although workers use these hiring modalities interchangeably and even accumulate jobs that correspond to all of them, the effects on working conditions vary significantly. In the first modality, the platform's intervention automates certain rights; in the second, working conditions are more heterogeneous as the legal framework is challenged by employers; in the third, working conditions are extremely precarious due to the sporadic and short-term nature of the work. This study highlights that the effects of digital platforms on working conditions depend on the type of intermediation. The research used a quantitative-qualitative methodology, including a survey of 300 workers, 20 semi-structured interviews with workers, two focus groups with workers, and four with employers who use Zolvers.

The article discusses the ambivalence towards technology as an ethical-political demand. It mentions the positions of authors such as Walter Benjamin and Henri Bergson, who explored both the negative effects and the emancipatory possibilities of technology in their time. The importance of adopting an ambivalent stance towards current technological challenges, such as climate change and artificial intelligence, is highlighted, avoiding both techno-optimism and techno-pessimism. The need to not surrender our agency to extreme ideologies and to find our own position regarding the dangers and opportunities presented by technological tools is emphasized.

This article addresses the issue of ecclesiastical elitism and the ambivalent theology of the Church's temporal goods. It argues that ecclesiastical elitism is reinforced and sustained through the Church's financial resources, properties, and economic connections. Furthermore, it maintains that the ambivalence in the theology of the Church's temporal goods is necessary to analyze the current crisis of ecclesiastical elitism. The article also mentions the relationship between ecclesiastical elitism and clerical sexual abuses, highlighting the importance of addressing the problem of hierarchy in the Church.

The article presents the results of a literature review whose objective was to produce a summary and analysis on diversity in the gerontological field in Latin America and the Caribbean. Studies carried out between 2010 and 2021 on the aging experiences of older people with disabilities, members of the LGBT community, migrants, and Indigenous peoples were reviewed. The literature review was guided by the SALSA (Search, AppraisaL, Synthesis and Analysis) method. The results were analyzed by group, showing central themes for each one: for the disability group, limitations in old age as generators of deterioration and decline, making social participation impossible; for the LGBT group, the weight of social norms that restrict the expression of dissident sexual and gender identities; for the migration group, the intersection with the theme of care and the ambivalences linked to a binational life course; and for the Indigenous group, the tensions between the worldview of First Nations people and the cultural changes impacting their social role. Transversal discursive axes were identified in the corpus, highlighting the unequal and exclusionary old age that many people experience at the same time as the capacity for agency, reinvention, and resistance that these elderly people manifest in their daily practices.

The book "Baudelaire, the Indomitable" by Antoine Compagnon analyzes the work of Charles Baudelaire and his relationship with modern art, especially photography. It highlights Baudelaire's ambivalence towards modernity and his rejection of photography as a substitute for painting. The book also explores Baudelaire's pessimistic and conservative view of the "city" and questions the relationship between beauty and barbarism. It mentions the importance of comedy as a subversive critique of politics and the influence of Joseph de Maistre on Baudelaire's work. Additionally, it raises the idea that living in an eternal present without expectations can lead to the justification of evil. [Extracted from the article]

We will structure this work in four fundamental moments. A first moment, where we will expose different narratives of the Anthropocene. All of them start from different epistemological assumptions and approach different political proposals to think about the alternatives. We will also propose how we understand the Anthropocene and what potential it holds for thinking about transitions. In a second moment, we will talk about the ambivalence of the Anthropocene, that new condition that gives the human being the ability to be a geological force which implies an unprecedented power, but ambivalent, to the extent that it may imply its own destruction. The conscious understanding of the status of this ambivalence is a condition for the possibility of beginning to think about responsibilities in a different way. In a third moment, we will propose the figure of the decentered anthropos as a symbolic expression to perceive, both the importance of the human being to think about other ways of living and transiting, as well as to apprehend the radical vulnerability that characterizes us, a necessary condition to think about any form of responsibility. We will lay special emphasis on "biocentric paradigm", as a place from which to enunciate the criticism of "anthropocentric paradigm", its demands and proposals. Finally, and in a more proactive way, we will try to formulate the normative foundations of the responsibility(es) in the Anthropocene, starting from the moral universe that the ecosystemic fracture with which we live shows us.

This article examines the relationship between trauma and racism, focusing on the experiences of Latinx women in the United States. It utilizes theologian Shelly Rambo's assertion that trauma is an open wound and the concept of the US-Mexico border as an open wound by Chicana theorist Gloria Anzaldúa. The article questions what concepts of healing can be derived from living in a state of perpetual otherness and what they could offer to Christian theologies attempting to respond to the traumas of racism. It explores Anzaldúa's complex concept of healing, which is based on ambivalence and radical hope expressed through spiritual and political practices of resistance and solidarity. The article also highlights the racist construction of "illegality" and the separation of immigrant families at the border, as well as other examples of horrors perpetuated in the name of border protection. It raises the question of what concepts of healing can arise from living in a state of perpetual otherness and what spiritual practices can contribute to a sense of resilience. It suggests that spiritual activism is crucial on the path of knowledge and healing. [Extracted from the article]

This paper interprets a short passage by Heidegger on the difference between literature and poetry and, especially, on the "unfathomable essential power" of literature. We will argue what the phenomenological features of this "power" of literature that distinguishes it from poetry, showing the internal problematicity of such a distinction. In order to foreground the meaning of this "unfathomable essential power" of literature, a brief reading of Don Quixote's El curioso impertinente will be made. The conclusion is that the "unfathomable" power of literature lies in its ambivalence to be a means of homologation and resistance to that same homologation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes the visual representations on the armed conflict that privileged the newspapers El Tiempo and El Espectador during the period 2008-2016, as well as the relationships of these with the configuration of certain regimes of the gaze in the deployment of memories of the recent past in Colombia. For this purpose, a visual analysis methodology was employed that addressed the pre-iconographic, preiconographic and iconological levels of the selected corpus of photographs, in their relations with the alphabetical texts that accompany them. In the end, once the extrajudicial executions and forced disappearances were identified as predominant topics of the period, three types of representations were evidenced: the ambivalence between the shock and the routinization of horror; the adaptation of the gaze towards suffering as an anamnestic strategy of the establishment; and an iconographic turn towards the indexical and metonymic that contributes to the distribution of the sensitive, which contrasts with positions of apparent neutrality on the part of the examined newspapers.

This article shows the connections between Anglophone anthropology and the political philosophy of interculturality, to which little attention has been given in Latin America. Specifically, the contributions of the so-called 'ontological turn' are detailed in order to develop a theory of interculturality that addresses the differences between Indigenous peoples and Western societies. It is argued that the concept of "culture" constitutes an "ambivalence", and that from this turn and its critics one can understand better interculturality as a positive proposal from Indigenous intellectuals. The debates on the representation of difference that followed the ontological turn point toward the importance of intracultural diversity; therefore, it is crucial to develop nuanced representations of Indigenous and Western cultures, considering different characteristics that distinguish the communities and individuals of each group. This argument is developed based on intercultural health through the case study of health practices and preferences in the shuar population of the Ecuadorian province of Zamora-Chinchipe. It is concluded that an interculturality is required that does not mean the ethnicization of public policies, but rather their localization and adaptation to the preferences of people in every distinct zone within national territories.

This article presents an analytical reading of part of the empirical material produced in the context of a research process which problematic field was structured around the interest in knowing the prototypical ways in which the teaching position is assumed in professional initiation and its articulation with the subjective configuration processes of the future teachers. In this framework, and from a psychosocial point of view, the article shows the results corresponding to the tracing of three future teacher students, starting from the interpretation of observation and interview records, in order to identify those aspects of pre-professional practices that challenge the subjectivity of teacher trainees and their pedagogical work. The proposed analysis demonstrates that socialization is predominantly lived as an adaptation to the school status quo, with the ambivalence caused by having to abandon ideal models and assuming ways of doing opposite to those intended to be implemented. The article aims to contribute heuristic elements to the theoretical-methodological discussions and reflections in the field of initial teacher training, particularly in the field of teacher training in practice.

In this interview, Professor Olga Restrepo Forero talks about the origins, development, particularities, and perspectives of Science and Technology Studies (STS) in Colombia. According to her, STS in this country has been characterized by a cosmopolitan orientation; and, in that sense, its history has been characterized by ambivalence towards tradition. Professor Restrepo explains that the origins and institutionalization of the field in the country did not necessarily imply breaks from or continuities with preceding schools of thought. She discusses key milestones in its development, highlighting the importance of editorial projects, which have served both to make the field known in other academic spaces and to attract scholars whose sensibilities are close to STS. Reflecting on the future of the field in this country, Professor Restrepo observes that, to a large extent, the new generation of students not only seeks to understand the phenomena associated with the development of science and technology but also has the vocation to change the state of affairs in the world.

decision-making is essential for SENA Human Talent Management technologists since they oversee selecting the personnel in the companies and monitoring the work of the employees. However, the practices carried out by the apprentices showed that they were not objective when making decisions. Although there are certain theoretical foundations and institutional guidelines that help guide the process, students do not use them for that purpose. Their decisions are motivated by personal, unethical interests, in which emotions and ambivalence prevail. In this research, a didactic intervention based on argumentation was proposed as a tool to improve decision-making. The selected methodology was research action, focused on the discussion of problematic situations that arise in the world of work. The results showed that argumentation affects semi-structured decision-making, since it leads students to have clear, reasoned, and reasonable criteria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the affective, emotional, and ideological questions raised by the practice of evidentiary torture (basanos) as necessity (anangkê). It proposes that competing ideas about its truth-value in Athenian forensic oratory reflect a degree of ambivalence sufficient to indicate that the Athenians (can) recognize the inherent unreliability of the slave's tormented body and mind to reveal the truth. In Prometheus Bound, the torture of Prometheus is dramatized as brutal coercion by Zeus' authoritarian state and set against the 'coercion' exercised by the bonds of kinship and emotional attachment. As such it engenders unbending anger on both sides and fails to coerce Prometheus to speak. The juxtaposition of the two genres establishes the unreliability of torture for extracting information along with a recognition that the criteria of exclusion for rendering bodies torturable are arbitrary, as are the rights they help maintain in the interest of Athenian exceptionalism. Fully embracing these recognitions would necessitate a new politics of care and fundamental reorganization of the civic community to expand 'kinship' and the bonds that compel mutual recognition and political inclusion. The paper closes by turning to the use of torture by the CIA in the context of the American war on terror to elucidate the persistence of discourses of necessity in contemporary politics of righteous anger and brings forth similar misrecognitions in the interest of American exceptionalism.

The preface of the special issue of the Operational Research journal highlights the application of neutrosophics in Latin America. Neutrosophics is a powerful and transformative perspective that addresses ambiguity and conflict in the academic and professional field. The special issue presents research on various topics, such as the interpretation of attitudes towards virtual technology, environmental sustainability, indigenous justice, and gender identity in educational contexts. These studies demonstrate how neutrosophics can quantify and analyze ambivalence and indeterminacy to reveal patterns and trends in human perceptions. Additionally, neutrosophics is applied in the evaluation of policies and practices in areas such as environmental sustainability, education, health, and legal rights. This special issue celebrates the advances achieved through neutrosophics and highlights the importance of future research in this field. [Extracted from the article]

J. Butler has dealt with politics and the problem of social transformation since her early works. Her interest in these topics has been linked to the phenomenology of field (the field of language, of the body, or the political field itself), but her work has also been linked to psychoanalysis, with which she has had a fruitful dialogue (especially with Freud and Lacan). In this paper, I show, firstly, that a field is marked and receives its necessary mobility from the constitutive outside. Secondly, I show that Butler makes a "à la Freud" reading of the psyche which she interprets as a field traversed by the economy of melancholy. Melancholy is not a psychic phenomenon but a structure and a fundamental event of the psyche and its formation. This event inaugurates a field marked by the ambivalence between the loss of the Other and the interpellation open to the Other, and marked by vulnerability as well, since the activity of agency and the passivity of receptivity cannot be distinguished. This indistinguishability or ambivalence is thought by Butler to be the starting point for a different way of doing politics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Evolutionary functional theories about morality assume that morality has been evolutionarily selected because it produces a cooperative and pro-social effect (selected effect functional theory, SE). This assumption wrongly implies that the trait which produces the selected effect is fully known. Furthermore, a SE theory does not seem to explain the peculiarities of moral thought, which are mostly synthesized in the features of moral judgment: its authoritative and inescapable character (practical clout). This paper provides an alternative SE explanation and argues that a causal role functional explanation (CR) is also necessary because this kind of explanation establishes the way the selected effect interacts with basic human evaluative propensities, which not only makes it possible to give an account of the practical clout of moral judgment, but of the phenomenon of moral ambivalence as well. However, the connection between reason and emotion and their influence on morality remains unexplained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article seeks to show and gather various criteria that are concerned with understanding beauty from a multifaceted perspective, spanning the traditional to what can be understood as creative, abrupt, and controversial. On one hand, ugliness can arise from clear aesthetic enjoyment, like a scream that shocks the standards of beauty. On the other hand, beauty becomes an ambiguous and nihilistic entity, oscillating between opposite poles, which triggers different reactions in the viewer, and it is mainly how different art trends elaborate their content. Dali does not escape this phenomenon and his art reflects this aesthetic ambivalence; which will be analyzed in several of his works. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This text responds to the reflection needed about the absence of the dimension of gender justice in the postulates of the plurinational state in Ecuador and in the exercise of self-government for Amazonian indigenous peoples. First, an approach is made to the women defenders of the Amazon group and its demands for indigenous self-determination, its axes of dispute and repertoires of collective mobilization around the approaches of the scales of justice and internal colonialism. Then the relationship between the dimensions of social, ecological, and cultural justice with the experiences of Amazonian indigenous women in the exercise of self-government is addressed. Finally, the challenges and ambivalences of indigenous self-determination and the opportunities for the exercise of autonomy for women are presented as final reflections. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Spain is the first European country and the second of the world with the highest number of UNESCO Global Geoparks (UGGps). By the Cultural Park of Maestrazgo, Spain is one of the pioneers of the European Geopark label. However, research related to this UNESCO label from other fields of study rather than the Earth Sciences, are very few in the country. This text proposes a multidisciplinary analysis of the heritagization processes in the 11 Spanish UGGps and the two aspiring territories between 2015 and 2017, gathering contributions from museological and geographical research studies. The results expose several ambivalences in the Spanish framework, regarding the differences between the UNESCO guidelines and the interest, representations, and intentions in the management structures of each UGGp. The results demonstrate the presence of epistemological conflicts and antinomies logics constraining the possibilities to co-construct a territorial narrative and to keep the holistic approach. In this way the mangement structures focus, in general, on only one or two of the three goals that define the UGGp concept (education, conservation and development). The results finally incite to rethink the evaluation and revalidation system of the UGGps. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In contemporary thought, the story of Babel has raised theological arguments against the titanic projects of modern rationalism and poetic exegesis in defense of idiomatic dissemination. The two essays by Michael Oakeshott entitled "The Tower of Babel" allow to recognize the main intellectual concerns of the author and the different theoretical dilemmas in the understanding of the modern European State. They not only illustrate the ruinous aspect of moral rationalism and political utopianism, but also the risks of the politics of faith, of collectivism, and of the reduction of human associations to instrumental transactions or enterprise corporations. In the exegesis of Oakeshott, Babel emerges as a modern political myth, showing a marked ambivalence through the convergence of ethical, religious, political, and even poetic motives.

Through a journey across the main modern translations into Italian of El Alguacil endemoniado (Gasparetti, 1959 = ga; Rapisarda, 1988 = ra; Bajini, 1990 = ba) by Francisco de Quevedo, the study reflects on the ways of translating specific segments involving the presence of rhetorical elements (especially semantic ambivalences and hyper-connoted terms), references to lost historical traditions (e.g. the fashion of «bucarofagia»), and the unquestionable satirical voice. All these aspects make translation a delicate and complex --sometimes almost impossible-- task. The aim of the study is to show how translation can be considered a relevant critical contribution to the interpretation of El Alguacil endemoniado. It also highlights the need to suggest translation strategies --sometimes alternative to pre-existing works-- in order to better convey the sharp humour, the burlesque charge and the iconographic focus of this Quevedian work. We will therefore try to show that the process of translating literary texts is not a simple transfer from one language to another but a work of deep interaction between lemmas and of mediation between the source and the target cultures, considering also the four-century interval between prototext and metatexts.

The present article is an approach to the condition of ambivalence as an experiential facet in those who migrate, in the sense in which the migrant thinks inside/otside both the site of origin and the site where they arrive. It is discuss out that in the mobility process there is a differentiation fron the categories of tourist and vagabonds. This obeys to an apprehension of the teorical approach of the sociologist Zigmunt Bauman. The exercise is developed from three particular experiences -throug interviews-: the cases of Maria, Sandra, and Jorge (pseudonyms); who have not only moved to cities in the United States but, at the same time, are not originally fron Ciudad Juarez, where they left for the United States at the time. Therefhore, their experiences are mentioned from their two moments of mobility: internal, which is from Mexican cities to Ciudad Juarez, and external, form Ciudad Juarez to cities in the United States.
