Investigar en educación sexual. No vayas a decir las cosas que te dijimos (Uruguay, 2009 - 2010)
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Darré, Silvana
As part of the educational policies that were carried out by the progressive government of Uruguay, the National Program of Sexual Education was implemented at the elementary, high, technical and teacher training levels throughout the country since 2007. By means of a slow process of institutionalization, it seems that the incorporation of this issue to the public education system in the different levels of formal education is becoming effective. As part of the process during 2009, three research projects with national scope were carried out in order to provide information about different features of the problem. One of them that I was able to design and run is named “Care of boys and girls, children and adolescents. Discourses and daily practices on sex and rights in the national educative system”. This communication has two purposes: the first consists of the presentation of the research context and its design; the second shows some conflicts that were brought into play during the process among the research team, the hiring institution and the children and adolescent´s demands. Through this paper where the conflicts stand out, we wish to contribute to the reflection of the social research processes that take place in Latin America.
César Dávila Andrade: el resplandor del abismo
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Vintimilla, María Augusta
This essay is a reading of the poetry of César Dávila Andrade, proposing some interpretative keys to approach to the intensely, strange and powerful poetic work of one of the greatest poets of Latin America, and yet very little known. Reading addresses this singular poetic adventure as a bold attempt to reach absolute knowledge, full enlightenment, which eventually destroy the possibility of meaning and precipitate into the abyss of silence and nothingness. However, the paper shows the deep rooting of this poetry in the material world, body and language.
Apuestas fundacionales en el campo de los estudios literarios hispanoamericanos
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Parra Triana, Clara María
When the Spanish American literary field was able to define an autonomous space within the aesthetics of the modernism, new problems were posed in the Spanish American intellectual space in the beginning of the XX century: How could the literary phenomenon be studied without breaking its aesthetic elaboration and its historical – cultural position? This question was the basis for the search that was started by the literary studies in Spanish America in order to define their own space by generating their own discourse; moreover, a space where their contribution to the humanities and to the intellectual Spanish American autonomy could be recognized. Thinkers as Pedro Henríquez Ureña, Alfonso Reyes and José Carlos Mariátegui contributed significantly to open this space, by integrating, in turn, historical and cultural problems as interpretative criteria to the literary phenomenon. In this paper, I propose to observe the critical, historical and cultural thinking which operated as a bet, so that the literary studies function as a specific field, open to the integration of current knowledge and debates.
La Geometría como herramienta para las Ciencias Sociales y su relación con el número y la palabra
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Barriga, Omar A.; Henríquez, Guillermo
This paper presents an even critic to the present debate of methodological paradigms. We propose to use Geometry as a tool which can be attractive to quantitativists due to its mathematical background as well as to qualitativists due to the graphic representations. We intend to demonstrate the way geometric approximations allow us to perceive the paradigmatic debates with a common and comparable foundation; moreover, as an extension, they allow us to close the gap among methodological paradigms.
Líneas de investigación y dialogismo en los procesos investigativos
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Rodríguez, Martha
The research activity is inserted in the dynamics of the intellectual University field in each country. This is a requirement that is usually pointed out in the evaluation and accreditation reports of these institutions. In the context of the varied nature of arguments that take place on campus, the work with research topics and the composition of research groups are elements that contribute to the democratization of this activity and to a dialogical attitude among the several actors. They will also contribute in the promotion of the growth of the Universities and the development of a liberating thought.
Epistemología y ciencias sociales
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Guyot, Violeta
The research on the practices of knowledge is in full development within the different fields of knowledge in local and regional contexts in our country. A collaborative work with the different individuals that carry it out has allowed us to collect evidence regarding several hypotheses. The heuristic potential of the complex model permits to display a set of research strategies in the area of the social sciences, in the production of projects in the field of teaching, research and professional work that will transform the specific practices in agreement with the demands that were set out for specific problems by individuals or groups.
Aproximación a las políticas de planificación y desarrollo en Ecuador y sus fundamentos sociales desde Azuay (1930-1960)
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Regalado, Juan Fernando
Planning and development policies are the means to understand the connections that are established among more specific processes of continuance and social changes, faced to deeper historical conditions. Some institutional frameworks, such as the Planning in the first half of the XX century, included deep social and cultural dimensions that require clarification. An approach to the developmental planning allows an understanding of the kind of realizations that the state reached, and the ways that the state sphere was produced from the interrelations of specific spaces in the country.
Revolución y transformación de la cultura política en la época de la Independencia en los territorios de Perú y Nueva Granada 1809-1812
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Borrero Vega, Ana Luz
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the political ideology and the transformation of the political culture during the period of the independence and its local variations in the territories of Lima and Santa Fe. We will also discuss the conformation of a creole Andean vision and the importance of the political representation of the first constitutions and the impacts of the Courts of Cádiz in the studied territories, as well as the first attempts to make effective the new liberal monarchic “ideology”. Among the categories of analysis that we will take into account in this short research paper are people´s sovereignty, representation, citizenship, homeland, liberalism and republicanism. We also emphasize the local processes of each of the viceroyalties, with examples from Quito and Cuenca by the use of primary sources. Additionally, we analyze the indigenous incorporation process of representation, elections and citizenship with the starting point constituting the application of the guidelines of Cadiz in the territory.
Rebelión simbólica, historia y enunciación en las crónicas de Alberto Ghiraldo
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Olalla, Marcos
The critical component of the Spanish American modernism has been characterized in terms of a symbolic rebellion. In the chronicles of the anarchical Argentinean writer, Alberto Ghiraldo (1875-1946) that were produced in the first quarter of the XX century, we analyze some topics where the author attempts to give a militant dimension to his aesthetic discourse. We find certain specificity in his notion of history that tends to dilute in a modality of enunciation which is borrowed from the modern aspirations of reconstituting the authority of the literary discourse.
Las fracturas del tiempo
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Rojas Reyes, Carlos
This paper analyzes the limits of the capitalist society and mainly focuses on the composition of its temporalities. In the ruptures of the dominant order, we study the emergence of other times that correspond to the constitution of alternative worlds. Finally, we illustrate the way alternative politics is formed by discussing the constitution of the non-politics.
Georges Canguilhem y las prácticas del conocimiento
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Becerra, Marcela
In this paper, we propose a re-reading of Canguilhem´s work that focuses on: 1) What he has recovered from Bachelard´s epistemology in order to postulate an “epistemological history”; 2) The dissents between Bachelar and Canguilhem about the relations between science and Philosophy, as well as our own evaluation of both legacies; 3)The ways in which Canguilhem´s Philosophy may evolve the practices of knowledge in the sciences and disciplines of life, health and subject, as well as possible articulations between Canguilhem´s philosophy of life, his epistemological history, with the present theoretical debates and the practical challenges in these sciences and disciplines.
De Toussaint Louverture a Joseph-Anténor Firmin. Dos expresiones de la lucha por la libertad y la igualdad en Haiti
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Arpini, Adriana
The perspective of the philosophical ideas of history allows us to analyze two events in the struggle for liberty and equality in Haiti. The first focuses on the image of Toussaint Louverture and is based on two key documents that helps to understand his thoughts: the first known as the Constitution that he commissioned in 1801 to bring order to the life and economic output of Sain Domingue; the second was Toussaint Louverture´s Memories written by Louverture himself and first published in 1853 by M. Saint Remi. The second event focuses on both Joseph-Anténor Firmin as a central image and his work About the equality of human races, which refutes Count de Gobineau´s racist thesis.
Reflexiones alrededor de un posible diálogo filosófico intercultural
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) León Pesántez, Catalina Soledad
The essay has the following objectives: To state some premises to enable a philosophical intercultural dialogue; one of these is the criticism to the Eurocentric vision of the modern European and Latin American reason. Objective is to consider other constituents, such as the practical sense that is inherent to the "color of reason." I twill be developed through conceptual images which are exposed by some Latin American and Caribbean philosophers in order to interculturalize the reason as a theoretical historical bet that facilitates the dialogue.
La cuestión del sujeto y la teoría del reconocimiento desde la perspectiva crítica de la filosofía latinoamericana
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Ramaglia, Dante
The reflection focused on the subject constitutes a relevant topic in contemporary Philosophy. When considering the implications that are art of the problem of the subject that is assumed by the critical Latin to the systemic and exclusive trends that entail the effects of the present globalization. At the same time, it implies the confrontation with theoretical paradigms that question the category of the subject from different positions. One of the features that is stressed in order to reformulate the topic of the subject refers to one's projections in connection to the recognition theory that concentrates an increasing attention from the perspective of different current approaches. These have effects in the social, political and ethical field.

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Horacio, Cerutti
After presenting the generation of how knowledge of historie processes where human beings are always involved, it is possible to reflect upon the subjeets people within collectives -who are able to confront their leading role in a responsible way. A suitable epistemological effort permits one to face the transformation of reality more favorably and to construct desirable options when alternatives do not seem possible. Our America has been contributing to this topic for several decades.
