The dialogic turn, characteristic of today's complex society, is changing the way how we work in the socio-educational field with people at risk of social exclusion. This change has extended to its research. Latin American immigrant population in Europe, especially women and children, is part of this group. From this principle, the study analyzes the communicative processes of Latin American families in educational areas, reaching six categories of analysis and distinguishing whether these interactions generate exclusionary or transformative dynamics. Thirty people from six countries in Latin America participated. It begins from a qualitative-critical communicative methodology, as a way of optimizing options to overcome the inequalities produced by the western neoliberal thought about decolonialism [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article studies the impact of poverty during the process of transition to adult life in Spain within the context of the current crisis. It conceptualises young people by means of social criteria, through a multidimensional analysis of vulnerability and a methodological triangulation that combines quantitative analysis (European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions, EU-SILC, 2011) with qualitative analysis, through biographical interviews. It localizes the existence of socially differentiated juvenile social groups within the contemporary social structure of Spain. It also shows how each social position is affected by specific forms of vulnerability. Finally, it evaluates the process of integration of this social position in the subjectivity and practices of Spanish youths in terms of reaction strategies in the face of poverty, degradation of identity, and social isolation: everything from the alternative search (often alegai, illegal and/or stigmatized) for material resources, to subjective mechanisms for relief from or relativization of their living conditions.

The urban sprawl of the Barcelona Metropolitan Region (BMR) in recent decades has been linked to its pattern of functional specialisation and its low density. This urban model has been closely associated with the use of the private automobile, which contradicts public policy's stated aim of ensuring sustainable mobility patterns by focusing on modes of transport that are more socially- and environmentally-friendly. This article analyses the impact of the traditional mobility patterns, which are largely based on the use of private cars, upon the increasingly suburban areas of the BMR, and highlights the various instruments that can be used to meet the new challenges posed by the need for sustainable mobility.
