Moral aspects of filial concern for a parent living with dementia: Social imaginaries in contemporary narratives.

Many adults face the difficulties of a parent living with dementia. Although not always caregiving for a parent living with dementia, they care about and are concerned for the vulnerability of their parent. This concern is invaluable but often an experience with a far-reaching impact. Qualitative research on filial concerns and experiences of caregiving has resulted in a vast body of knowledge about the experience of family carers. Far less research, however, has examined the moral concern of children. The aim of this study is to gain insight into the normative aspects of their concern. An international collection of 24 books written by adult children about their involvement with an ageing parent was analysed using the Dialogical Narrative Analysis method. Our study shows that the stories deal with children's moral questions about independence, identity, and suffering. These questions can be related to social imaginaries of individualism and progress. The two social imaginaries may have both positive and negative impacts on children's ability to cope with their concern for a parent living with dementia. The moral questions that arise from children's concern seem to originate from both the appeal of the vulnerable parent and from the social imaginaries. These moral sources may compete, resulting in moral friction. Children with a parent living with dementia deliberate upon the personal and societal held beliefs and need moral space to embody their concern.

Antihéroes que sufren trauma por estrés postraumático y villanos con trastorno de personalidad narcisista: el cisma de los problemas de salud mental en el cine / Antiheroes suffering from post-traumatic stress trauma and villains with narcissistic personality disorder: the schism of mental health problems in cinema

Actualmente existe una tendencia hacia la introducción de problemas de salud mental en los protagonistas de películas, particularmente en los antihéroes. Este hecho contrasta con la tradicional asociación de estas enfermedades con los villanos. Este manuscrito tiene el objetivo de detectar los problemas de salud mental que poseen los villanos y los antihéroes en el cine para averiguar si reciben el mismo tratamiento y si existen enfermedades estigmatizadas y vinculadas a unos y a otros. A partir del análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de los resultados, se han identificado patrones, tendencias y se han establecido contrastes entre las narrativas de la salud mental entre villanos y antihéroes. Los hallazgos demuestran que el trastorno de estrés postraumático es el más frecuente en antihéroes, mientras que en villanos es el trastorno de personalidad narcisista, lo que evidencia los estigmas existentes en el imaginario cinematográfico.(AU)

Currently there is a trend towards the introduction of mental health problems in the protagonists of films, particularly in antiheroes. This fact contrasts with the traditional association of these diseases with villains. This manuscript has the objective of detecting the mental health problems that villains and antiheroes have in the cinema to find out if they receive the same treatment and if there are stigmatized diseases linked to each other. From the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the results, patterns, trends and contrasts have been identified between the narratives of mental health between villains and antiheroes. The findings show that post-traumatic stress disorder is the most frequent in antiheroes, while in villains it is narcissistic personality disorder, which shows the existing stigmas in the cinematographic imaginary.(AU)

Una Historia Social de la corporeidad: del cuerpo físico al cuerpo vivido / Uma História Social da corporeidade: do corpo físico ao corpo vivido / A Social History of corporeity: from the physical body to the living body

In this work, a review of the different perceptions of the body that different societies have had throughout history is carried out. It will be seen how, in some moments, positive meanings predominated in the social representation of the body, while at other times the body was perceived from a negative point of view. For the realization of this article qualitative research was carried out based on the review of documents of the history of thought and social theory on the construction of social representations of the body. For this, the theoretical framework of systemic constructivism has been used -in particular, the theory of social imaginaries of Juan Luis Pintos- and the notion of epistemological rupture of Gaston Bachelard. Special attention is also paid to the gender perspective when carrying out the study. It can be concluded that the social representations of the body have been affected by a process of secularization and medicalization, affecting in different ways the perception of the female body, than that of the male. Building throughout the time a representation of the body as something changing and that assumes an identity role for people.(AU)

En este trabajo se realiza una revisión de las distintas percepciones del cuerpo que han tenido diferentes sociedades a lo largo de la historia. Se verá cómo, en algunos momentos, predominaron en la representación social del cuerpo significados de tipo positivo, mientras que en otros momentos se percibió desde un punto de vista negativo. Para la realización de este artículo se llevó a cabo una investigación cualitativa basada en la revisión de documentos de la his toria del pensamiento y de lateoría social sobre la construcción de las representaciones sociales del cuerpo. Para ello se ha utilizado el marco teórico del constructivismo de carácter sistémico -en concreto, la teoría de los imaginarios sociales de Juan Luis Pintos- y la noción de ruptura epistemológica de Gaston Bachelard. Se presta, además, una especial atención a la perspectiva de género a la hora de la realización del estudio. Se puede concluir que las representaciones sociales del cuerpo se han visto afectadas por un proceso de secularización y medicalización; afectando de modos distintos a la percepción del cuerpo femenino, que a la del masculino. Construyéndose a lo largo del tiempo una representación del cuerpo como algo cambiante y que asume un papel identitario para las personas.(AU)

Neste trabalho, é realizada uma revisão das diferentes perceções do corpo que as diferentes sociedades tiveram ao longo da história. Verseá como, em alguns momentos, os significados positivos predominavam na representação social do corpo, enquanto noutras alturas o corpo era percebido de um ponto de vista negativo. Para a realização deste artigo foi realizada uma investigação qualitativa com base na revisão de documentos da história do pensamento e da teoria social sobre a construção de representações sociais do corpo. Para isso, o quadro teórico do construtivismo sistémico tem sido usado -em particular, a teoria dos imaginários sociais de Juan Luis Pintos -e a noção de rutura epistemológica de Gaston Bachelard. É também dada especial atenção à perspetiva de género na realização do estudo. Pode concluir-se que as representações sociais do organismo foram afetadas por um processo de secularização e medicina; afetando de diferentes maneiras a perceção do corpo feminino, do que a do macho. Construindo ao longo do tempo uma representação do corpo como algo que muda e que assume um papel de identidade para as pessoas.(AU)

Creative arts workers during the Covid-19 pandemic: Social imaginaries in lockdown.

The arts and creative industries are among those most affected by government measures to contain the Covid-19 pandemic. This article discusses a qualitative survey study, open between August and October 2020, with creative arts workers living in Victoria, Australia. The study explored experiences of disruptions to work and broader impacts on daily lives during the pandemic. In this article, we examine how participants discuss their work and circulate pre-existing and create new intensified social imaginaries of a devalued and ignored arts sector in Australia. Our analysis points to how people understand their lives, work and communities amidst a global pandemic in relation to and entangled with particular social imaginaries of the creative arts.

Imaginarios sociales de las adicciones en las series: representaciones de la hipermodernidad / Social imaginaries of addictions in series: representations of hypermodernity

En este artículo se introduce brevemente una historización del consumo de drogas, desde los rituales de la Antigüedad hasta llegar a la hipermodernidad como una época caracterizada por el hiper-individualismo y la caída de los ideales, donde el consumo de drogas aparece relacionado con una experiencia individual y alienada. Frente al aumento exponencial del consumo de drogas en las últimas décadas, nos preguntamos por sus características y cuáles son los imaginarios sociales sobre esta problemática, es decir, cómo la sociedad entiende este consumo. Una de las formas privilegiadas de acceder a estos imaginarios sociales es a través de productos culturales como la literatura, el cine o las series. Teniendo en cuenta que las series reemplazan paulatinamente a la televisión como formas de consumo privilegiadas por miles de espectadores diarios a través de plataformas en línea, nos interesa estudiar la representación del consumo de drogas que se hace en las series actuales. El panorama de análisis incluye la representación de las drogas “duras” en la caracterización de personajes antiheroicos y en personajes jóvenes de narrativas del género coming-of-age, así como también en series icónicas que mostraron el mundo de las drogas como The Wire. Se incluyetambién el análisis del consumo problemático de alcohol en personajes docentes universitarios y la adicción a fármacos como los opioides. Este complejo caleidoscopio nos permite entender las coordenadas de consumo actuales, que no siempre implican una adicción, pero que en todos los casos implican grados variables de padecimiento.

This article briefly introduces a historicization of drug use, from the rituals of Antiquity to hypermodernity, a time characterized by hyper-individualism and the fall of ideals, where drug use appears related to an individual experience and alienation. Faced with the exponential increase in drug use in recent decades, we wonder about the characteristics of substance consumption and what are the social imaginaries about this problem, that is, how society understands this use. One of the privileged ways to access these social imaginaries is through cultural products such as literature, cinema or series. Considering that series are gradually replacing television as privileged forms of consumption by thousands of daily viewers through online platforms, we are interested in studying the representation of drug use that is made in current series. The analysis panorama includes the representation of “hard” drugs in the characterization of anti-heroic characters and in young characters from narratives of the coming-of-age genre, as well as in iconic series that showed the world of drugs such as The Wire. Also included is the analysis of problematic alcohol consumption in university professors and addiction to other drugs such as opioids. This complex kaleidoscope allows us to understand the coordinates of current consumption, which do not always imply an addiction, but which in all cases imply different degrees of suffering. (AU)

Diferentes perspectivas ante las adicciones en la narrativa antiheroica de los personajes de Peaky Blinders / Different perspectives on addictions in the antiheroic narrative of the characters in Peaky Blinders

Introducción: La presente investigación analiza la narrativa y la construcción de los personajes en la serie Peaky Blinders (Knight, BBC, 2013-2022), inspirada en los acontecimientos reales que protagonizó la banda criminal de homónimo nombre a principios del siglo XX en Birmingham. El estudio tiene como objetivo determinar las diferentes perspectivas de sus protagonistas ante las adicciones y el consumo de drogas en el contexto de su época. Método: Mediante un diseño metodológico basado en la integración conceptual (Ruíz de Mendoza, 2009) de las teorías sobre narrativa audiovisual (Canet y Prósper, 2009), la crítica cinematográfica (Orellana, Almacellas y Watt, 2019), la estructura mítica y creación de personajes (Vogler, 2020) y el análisis fílmico y documental (Brisset, 2011), se analizan los personajes de Peaky Blinders, sus tramas, arcos narrativos y su papel en las diferentes temporadas de la serie con el propósito de estudiar el tratamiento de este tipo de adicciones en la ficción y reflexionar acerca de los imaginarios sociales que representan como reflejo del éxito y la decadencia de su tiempo. Resultados y discusión: El resultado de este análisis arroja una interesante reflexión sobre la representación de diferentes tipologías de drogas en la serie. Mientras el opio es tratado como parte de la construcción antiheroica del personaje principal, la cocaína sirve como activador de la violencia y la brutalidad de uno de los personajes secundarios.

Introduction: This research analyzes the narrative and the construction of the characters in the Peaky Blinders series (Knight, BBC, 2013-2022), inspired by the real events that the criminal gang of the same name starred in at the beginning of the 20th century in Birmingham. The study aims to determine the different perspectives of its protagonists regarding addictions and drug abuse in the context of their time. Method: Through a methodological design based on the conceptual integration (Ruíz de Mendoza, 2009) of the theories on audiovisual narrative (Canet and Prósper, 2009), film criticism (Orellana, Almacellas and Watt, 2019), the mythical structure and creation of characters (Vogler, 2020) and the film and documentary analysis (Brisset, 2011), we analyze the characters of Peaky Blinders, their plots, narrative arcs and their role in the different seasons of the series. This study’s purpose is to examine how drugs are represented in fiction and how they reflect the social imaginaries and the success and fall of characters and their time. Results and discussion: This analysis provides an interesting discussion on the representation of different types of drugs in the series. While opium is treated as part of the anti-heroic construction of the main character, cocaine serves as an activator for the violence and brutality of one of the secondary characters. (AU)

Consumo problemático de alcohol en docentes: análisis de los imaginarios sociales en las series Merlí Sapere Aude y The Chair / Problematic alcohol consumption in teachers: analysis of social imaginaries in the series Merlí Sapere Aude and The Chair

Introducción: El uso nocivo de alcohol tiene efectos perjudiciales tanto para el bebedor como para la sociedad en general. Las instituciones educativas realizan acciones preventivas y de reducción de daños que están orientadas hacia estudiantes. Sin embargo, muy pocas investigaciones indagan sobre los hábitos de consumo de los docentes, y las consecuencias que tienen sobre su rol. En este escrito proponemos analizar los imaginarios sociales de dos series contemporáneas en torno al consumo problemático de alcohol en docentes. Metodología: Realizamos un análisis de contenido cualitativo de las series Merlí Sapere Aude (España, 2019-2021) y The Chair (Estados Unidos, 2021) con el fin de explorar, desde una perspectiva relacional, los distintos factores que inciden en el consumo de alcohol de dos personajes con esta problemática. Resultados: Los resultados reflejan la representación de diversos factores sociales e individuales en el consumo de estos personajes, poniendo el foco especialmente en sus circunstancias socio-familiares. Las instituciones educativas de estas series responden al consumo problemático de alcohol de sus docentes sancionándolos y apartándolos de sus cargos. Discusión y conclusiones: Los imaginarios que circulan en estas series refuerzan creencias que niegan que el consumo problemático de alcohol es una problemática de salud y depositan la responsabilidad por el consumo únicamente en el individuo. Esto pone de relieve la necesidad de promover que las instituciones educativas también consideren a la población docente como destinataria de las acciones de reducción de daños y prevención de los consumos problemáticos.

Introduction: The harmful use of alcohol has negative effects both for the drinker and for society in general. Educational institutions carry out preventive and harm reduction actions that are oriented towards students and mainly in charge of teachers. However, very few investigations address the consumption habits of these professionals and the consequences it has on their role. In this paper we aim to analyze the social imaginaries that circulate in two contemporary series regarding the problematic consumption of alcohol in teachers. Methodology: We carried out a qualitative content analysis of the series Merlí Sapere Aude (Spain, 2019-2021) and The Chair (United States, 2021) in order to explore, from a relational perspective, the different factors that affect the consumption of alcohol of two characters with this problem. Results: The results reflect the representation of various social and individual factors in the consumption of these characters, focusing especially on their socio-family circumstances. The educational institutions in these series respond to their teachers’ problematic use of alcohol by sanctioning them and removing them from their posts.Discussion and conclusions: The imaginaries represented in these series reinforce beliefs that deny that problematic alcohol consumption is a health problem and place the responsibility for consumption solely on the individual. This highlights the need to encourage educational institutions to also consider the teaching population as care recipients of actions to reduce harm and prevent problematic consumption. (AU)

Imaginaries of the Pandemic in Chile: A Conceptual-Empirical Discussion.

This article aims to reconstruct the social imaginaries of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Chile. We seek to understand how families interpret their experience confronting the pandemic by identifying four main aspects: (a) the COVID-19 pandemic, (b) working and learning, (c) health and (d) family life. Following Habermas' distinction between lifeworld and social systems, we consider these issues as constituting the social imaginary of lifeworld, different but related to the imaginaries of social systems. The qualitative empirical data was gathered through a sample of 38 families interviewed online between September 2020 and January 2021 in four Chilean cities: Iquique, Valparaíso, Santiago and Concepción. Other complementary sources of information are multimodal ethnography (digital diaries), press articles and state reports.

Collective memory and social imaginaries of the epidemic situation in COVID-19-based on the qualitative research of college students in Wuhan, China.

This study conducted in-depth interviews with 20 students from a university in Wuhan so as to obtain data regarding their collective memory at the early stage of the COVID-19 outbreak and their social imaginaries in the longitudinal dimension of time. Compared with those in other regions, interviewees from Wuhan show more fear and dissatisfaction and think that others find it difficult to empathize with their first-hand experiences. Interviewees from Wuhan are more dependent on the media. However, media use can cause problems related to redundant information and emotional impact. While one is confined to home, he/she is forced to participate in communication with family members and the topic of the body is discussed again from a new angle. Trauma leads to self-reconciliation, as facilitated by the re-examination of and reflection on one' nomination of and reflection on n family members and the months in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. However, having received a collectivist education since childhood and having been guided by the discourse system created by the state media, they have since been able to shape their sense of identity and strengthen their sense of national honor.

Imaginarios sociales, violencia física y medios de comunicación audiovisual / Social Imaginaries, Physical Violence, and Audiovisual Mass Media

Resumen Las noticias son el género de realidad más visto en Colombia y la televisión tiene una penetración del 99% en el país. Esta realidad hace necesaria la investigación sobre estos contenidos y su papel en la comprensión de la realidad que tienen los televidentes. En este artículo se presentarán tres categorías que permitirán comprender los imaginarios sociales sobre violencia física en los televidentes. Se considera que este tipo de violencia es uno de los fenómenos más presentes en las emisiones de noticias y que reviste una especial importancia en el contexto colombiano.

Abstract News is the most watched reality genre in Colombia and television has a 99% penetration in the country. This reality makes it necessary to investigate these contents and their role in the viewers' understanding of reality. This article will present three categories, which will allow us to understand the social imaginaries of physical violence in television viewers. It is considered that this type of violence is one of the most present phenomena in news broadcasts and which is of special importance in the Colombian context.

Regulating patient access to therapeutics in Denmark: a rhetorical analysis of welfare imaginaries in public controversy.

In this article, I argue that the social imaginaries that inform biomedical regulation circulate not only in technical spheres populated by experts but that they are equally articulated (and vehemently contested) in national public spheres in more popular forms of communication. I examine the relation between a national healthcare imaginary and the regulation of therapeutics through a public controversy about access to an innovative therapeutic indicated for spinal muscular atrophy. The establishment of the Danish Medicines Council, a new health technology assessment institution, and its decision to restrict access to an innovative therapeutic sparked controversy in 2017 involving political proponents, adversaries, and patients, among others. In a variety of ways, they rhetorically mobilized or contested the Danish universalist welfare imaginary which contains promises and prospects of solidarity, security, and absence of market forces in universal healthcare, including access to therapeutics. I use a combination of media content analysis and rhetorical close reading methods to analyze how the imaginary was drawn upon in arguments for and against the new regulatory institution.

Imaginarios sociales sobre las violencias de género de los habitantes de una comunidad rural del departamento del Huila (Colombia) / Social Imaginaries about Gender-Based Violence of Inhabitants of a Rural Community in the State of Huila, Colombia

Resumen El uso de lenguajes sexistas y discriminatorios hacia la mujer, sobre todo en los roles desempeñados por el hombre y la mujer en el hogar, hacen parte de los imaginarios que en la comunidad de la Vereda Belén del municipio de Isnos (Huila) se evidencian sobre las violencias de género; además, se observó la emergencia de ciertos imagina rios radicales construidos desde la familia, a partir de experiencias y vivencias perso nales con sus padres como modelos de crianza.

Abstract: The use of sexist language, which is discriminatory towards women, especially in the roles played by men and women, at home, are part of the imaginaries that in the com munity of Belén Village, in the Municipality Isnos, Huila, about gender-based violence is made evident. Besides, the emergence of certain radical imaginaries built from the family, based on personal experiences, and experiences with their parents, as parenting models, was observed.

Queering the Social Imaginaries of the Dead.

I offer a philosophical examination and feminist queering of the social imaginaries of the dead - with specific reference to recent public disclosures about death in Ireland's Mother and Baby Homes - by looking at the issue of spectrality through the work of Jacques Derrida and others. What does it mean to respond to the dead, who, though temporarily forgotten, return to haunt us not as remembered human beings but as remnants or remainders? The normative distinctions between past and present; past, present and future; between living and non-living; absence and presence; and self and other are all made indistinct when displaced by a non-linear temporality. What differential is in play with respect to those who are grievable (in Judith Butler's terms) and the others who constitute what Giorgio Agamben calls bare life? The strategy of memorialising the re/discovered dead seems inadequate, and I outline an alternative hauntological ethics, as suggested by Derrida, and ask if there are queer social imaginaries that allow us to live well with the dead not because we give respect, but because death itself has been rethought. I close with some speculations arising from Deleuzian vitalism and Rosi Braidotti's optimistic claim that 'death frees us into life'.

Identidad étnica mapuche e imaginarios sociales del bienestar en la región del biobío, chile / Identidade étnica mapuche e imaginários sociais de bem-estar na região do biobío, chile / Mapuche ethnic identity and social imaginaries of well-being in biobío region, chile

Resumen Analizamos los imaginarios sociales del bienestar subjetivo en personas que se auto identifican como mapuche en el Gran Concepción, Biobío, Chile. El bienestar subjetivo otorga importancia a aquellos factores que los sujetos consideran como un aporte positivo en su vida personal, familiar o comunitaria, que generan percepciones de satisfacción y felicidad. Esto también forma parte de lo que se considera como parte constitutiva del buen vivir de los pueblos originarios. Se trabajó con un enfoque cualitativo, a través de entrevistas semi-estructuradas. Los resultados indican que los imaginarios sociales del bienestar subjetivo son diversos y variados dependiendo de los niveles en los cuales la identidad es vivida: individual, colectivo o estructural. Todavía, los resultados indican que esos imaginarios se construyen en torno a la resignificación de la identidad individual y colectiva, como parte de un proceso de relación entre sujetos, entorno y/o naturaleza, donde confluyen percepciones, representaciones, valoraciones y emociones asociadas no solo a la felicidad, la seguridad y el respeto, sino también a la trascendencia como pueblo portador de una identidad Mapuche diferenciada.

Resumo Analisamos os imaginários sociais do bem-estar subjetivo em pessoas que se identificam como mapuche, no Gran Concepción, Biobío, Chile. O bem-estar subjetivo outorga importância a aqueles fatores que o sujeito considera um aporte positivo em sua vida pessoal, família ou comunitária, e que geram percepções de satisfação e felicidade. Este também é parte constitutiva do bom viver dos povos originários. Se trabalhou com um enfoque qualitativo, através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Os resultados indicam que os imaginários sociais do bem estar subjetivo são diversos e variados dependendo dos níveis os quais a identidade é vivida: individual, coletivo ou estrutural. Ainda, que são construídos em torno da ressignificação da identidade individual e coletiva, como parte de um processo de relacionamento entre sujeitos, ambiente e/ou natureza, onde convergem percepções, representações, apreciações e emoções associadas não só à felicidade, à segurança e ao respeito, mas também à transcendência como um povo portador de uma identidade diferenciada mapuche.

Abstract We analyze the social imaginaries of the subjective well-being in people who identify as Mapuche in Greater Concepción, Chile. Subjective well-being gives importance to those factors that the subject considers to be a positive contribution to their personal, family or community life, and that generate perceptions of satisfaction and happiness. This also constitutes part of what is perceived as a good life for native people. The work considered a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews. Results indicate that the social imaginaries of subjective well-being are diverse and varied, depending on the levels at which the identity is lived: individual, collective or structural. Furthermore, the results indicate that the social imaginaries of the subjective welfare are built around the resignification of individual and collective identity, as part of a process of relationship between subjects, environment and/or nature, in which they converge perceptions, representations, values and emotions associated not only to happiness, security and respect, but also to transcendence as a people carrying a differentiated Mapuche identity.

Imaginarios sociales sobre lo juvenil en el Chile contemporáneo / Social imaginaries of youth in contemporary Chile / Imaginários sociais sobre o juvenil no Chile contemporâneo

En este artículo, se presentan los resultados de una investigación cuyo objetivo fue identificar imaginarios sociales emergentes sobre lo juvenil en el Chile contemporáneo. Es un estudio cualitativo basado en el análisis de trece grupos de discusión realizados en cinco regiones del país. La selección de los participantes en el estudio consideró a estudiantes que cursan su último año de educación secundaria en Chile. Entre los resultados más relevantes se encuentra la identificación de un imaginario social sobre lo juvenil como un desafío de escolarización, que se estructura conflictivamente con énfasis en varias dimensiones y procesos claves en la configuración de la condición social de las juventudes chilenas contemporáneas.

Imaginarios, biomedicina y normatividad: una respuesta a los procesos de estigmatización y discriminación por VIH / Imaginaries, biomedicine and normativity: an answer to the processes of HIV stigma and discrimination / Imaginários, biomedicina e normatividade: uma resposta aos processos de estigma e discriminação do HIV

El tratamiento del VIH/sida, como problemática que ocupa a la salud colectiva, requiere nuevas perspectivas teóricas para su análisis. Objetivo: reconstruir algunas matrices imaginarias, configuradoras de la infección de VIH, vinculadas con prácticas normativas y con la formación del saber clínico, visibilizar consecuencias de estos procesos y articular estas matrices con las problemáticas de discriminación y estigmatización que pesan sobre el diagnóstico. Materiales y métodos: se efectuaron entrevistas en profundidad a jóvenes entre 18 y 35 años y a profesionales de la salud dedicados al tratamiento del VIH/sida de hospitales públicos de las ciudades de Santa Fe y Paraná (Argentina). Resultados: el discurso biomédico -nodal en tanto exigencia de la norma y garante del ejercicio de normalización de los individuos y de las poblaciones a partir del binomio normal/patológico- incide en la apropiación de la diagnosis y la convivencia con la infección. Conclusión: a partir de los resultados, es posible comprender los procesos de estigmatización y discriminación como mecanismos privilegiados de estas instancias normativas que median la configuración discursiva del VIH. A su vez, se advierte que el rechazo prevalente en jóvenes a realizarse las pruebas diagnósticas, como las dificultades de acceso a los servicios de salud, es consecuencia de los procesos indicados.

Conclusion: from the results, it is possible to understand stigmatization and discrimination processes, like privileged mechanisms that mediate in the configuration of HIV normativity discursive. Moreover, it is clear that the prevalent rejection in young people to undergo diagnostic test, and the difficulties in accessing health services, is a consequence of the indicated processes.

O tratamento de HIV/AIDS, contribuinte da saúde coletiva, exige novas perspectivas teóricas para sua análise. Objetivo: reconstruir algumas matrizes imaginárias, formadoras da infecção de HIV, ligadas aos processos de normalização e a formação do conhecimento clínico; apresentar consequências; articular essas matrizes com as questões de estigma e de discriminação que afetam o diagnóstico. Metodologia: foram entrevistados jovens entre 18 e 35 anos e profissionais da saúde dedicados ao tratamento de HIV/AIDS em hospitais públicos das cidades de Santa Fe e Paraná (Argentina). Resultados: o discurso biomédico enquanto requisito da norma e mantenedor do exercício de normalização dos indivíduos e das populações a partir da demarcação do binômio normal/patológico influencia na apropriação do diagnóstico e na convivência dos indivíduos que vivem com a infecção. Conclusão: a partir dos resultados é possível compreender os processos de estigmatização e de discriminação como mecanismos privilegiados dessas instancias normativas que mediam as configurações discursivas do HIV. Por sua vez, vemos que a rejeição prevalente em jovens para realização das provas diagnósticas como as dificuldades de acesso aos serviços de saúde, é consequência dos processos indicados.

Relacionan cómo el mal desempeño de los docentes afecta el desempeño de los estudiantes, ocasionando, algunas veces, la deserción estudiantil. Reconocen la función investigativa del docente, quien enriquece sus conocimientos, y valoran sus aportes al desarrollo y la transformación social. Consideran necesario plantear políticas que garanticen su eficiencia en las actividades académico-administrativas. La necesidad de una enseñanza verdaderamente formativa en el campo psicológico demanda de la revisión de las competencias del docente en esta disciplina, que se articulen a las características de la población estudiantil y a las exigencias de la sociedad actual.
