The problematization of bodily experience in the social model of disability: the legacy of English second-wave disability feminists

2025-04-03T13:20:31+00:00

The aim of this paper is to reconstruct debates raised within the social model of disability by English feminists in the 1990s, which have received little attention in the field of regional disability, and which are shaping a second wave of claims. Specifically, we will focus on the contributions of academics and activists Jenny Morris, Liz Crow and Lois Keith. These contributions draw attention to the importance of reintroducing the body and the deficit, the experiential, the private and the interactional into disabled people's struggles from a critical and embodied perspective. critical and embodied perspective. They also show that disability oppression is not homogeneous but intersectional with gender and other variables that singularise it (such as social class, the type of 'impairment' possessed, age, ethnicity, nationality, gender and other variables). Through this theoretical problematisation, we intend to make visible the very broad contributions that this debate can bring to the political struggles of people with disabilities in Latin America. the political struggles of people with disabilities in Latin America and the power of contemplating these reformulations of the social model in order to demand the rights associated with family life, health, care, sexuality and motherhood, among others. sexuality and motherhood, among others.

A culturalist and situated approach to study young people fear

2024-10-03T03:55:57+00:00

This theoretical article problematizes the emotion of fear, reflecting on the macro- and microsocial context that serves as a breeding ground for this emotion. The text begins by indicating, through the notion of generalized fear (delocalized, omnipresent, globalized), one of its current characteristics, and then points out some historical references for thinking about fear, such as the biological approach and the notion of guilt. It starts from a culturalist perspective and situated research, incorporating a critical vision to problematize power relations; it also includes the dimension of the body based on the proposals of the affective turn. It problematizes both the so-called sociabilities of fear from the trust/distrust binomial, as well as the logics of happiness and heroism; it then discusses fear as a political emotion and one of social control (fear as a tool, condition, end, and result). A typology is also proposed that articulates fear according to their relational dimension or their relationship with the context. It includes what we call sources of fear, whether these are natural, economic, or health-related, among others, and considers the objects of fear directly related to each of these sources.

The changes in Warao women's bodies as they migrate from Venezuela to Manaus/Brazil

2024-10-12T14:17:23+00:00

This article presents a discussion about the body of women from the Warao Venezuelan ethnic group, who live in Manaus, the capital of Amazonas (AM), in the north of Brazil. In the last decade, this ethnic group has undergone a migration process that has required extreme adaptations in their way of life, their emotions, their perceptions and their bodies. The aim is to portray some of the changes that have taken place in this woman's body, comparing her bodily traditions, in terms of social, economic and cultural practices in her former community, with the current forms of bodily (over)experiences. Therefore, the work starts from the Warao woman of the Orinoco delta to the Warao woman who lives in Manaus as an immigrant, intruder and/or beggar. The work uses bibliographical elements on migration and the Warao woman's body, as well as a qualitative descriptive approach to the daily situations of this population. It was observed that even with the difficulties encountered during the migration process from Venezuela to Brazil (Manaus-AM), Warao women try to adapt to their new life routine and body expression, trying to keep their original history and culture alive.

Design of a scale of linguistic behavior of emotional expression

2025-05-21T17:45:40+00:00

Emotional expression directly influences psychological well-being, especially during adolescence, a stage marked by intense emotional changes. This study aimed to design and validate a scale that measures emotional expression through linguistic behaviors: speech, writing, thought, inner speech, drawing, and body gestures. It evaluated the expression of emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. Content validity was assessed by expert judges, and an exploratory factor analysis identified three key factors: internal expression (thought or inner speech), oral/body expression, and written/drawn expression. Criterion validity was also evaluated, showing that participants with greater knowledge and use of emotional synonyms demonstrated a higher capacity to express emotions. The results indicated that the scale explains 55.9% of the variance and has a reliability coefficient of 0.88. In addition, a KMO of 0.744, an SRMR of 0.0664, and Kelley’s criterion of 0.0685 were obtained. These indicators support the validity and reliability of the scale for measuring emotional expression in upper secondary school adolescents. The findings suggest that a broader emotional vocabulary is associated with better emotional expression, and that linguistic behaviors serve as effective channels for expressing emotions.

The feeling of self in La hija única de Guadalupe Nettel

2025-06-11T18:02:56+00:00

This essay project the figure of the female body as the main motif in La hija única, the most recent novel by Guadalupe Nettel. The body has been the motif that continues and has been present in all the plots of his narrative from different angles and circumstances. Nettel postulates the iconic and sensitive sense of the body figure as the aesthetic and cultural resource that generates and defines the importance of its image in the creative act. What is new in La hija única is to consider from the beginning the vicissitudes of one's own body, its discovery, and enigmas since its gestation and what would be the responsibilities acquired from being a mother. The only daughter redefines the female figure in its intimacy and estrangement, as well as offering us the opportunity to read and look at Guadalupe Nettel in the introspection of being a writer and mother.

Bodily expresions of power in the erotic life of same-sex couples in Mexico City

2025-01-15T06:29:51+00:00

This article sought to expose the bodily manifestations of power in the erotism of same-sex couples in Mexico City. Six same-sex couples with more than two years of relationship cohabiting in Mexico City, men and women, were interviewed in depth. Through Van Manen's phenomoenology it was found that power manifested itself bodily as 1. embodied agency, 2. exposed intimacy in movement and 3. body-to-body regulation. All this made possible to understand power as an experience that is embodied in people's lives and is socially constructed, beyond being only an expression of hierarchy and domination.

Términos emocionales emergentes en tiempos difíciles

2025-06-25T13:58:00+00:00

Este artículo pretende mostrar, desde la perspectiva de la antropología, las condiciones bajo las cuales surgen las formas de nombrar las emociones en tiempos difíciles, a partir de dos ejemplos contemporáneos. Este enfoque se centra en el discurso de los actores que producen significado sobre las emociones en relación con las crisis contemporáneas. La antropología nos permite comprender cómo se forman las emociones al prestar atención a las condiciones de existencia y a los significados que surgen a su alrededor. Es interesante observar cómo, en un contexto de crisis, las emociones pueden repensarse en relación con las condiciones sociales de existencia. Los dos ejemplos contemporáneos que se presentan aquí son el denominado languidecimiento, popularizado por el psicólogo Adam Grant durante la COVID-19, y el otro se centra en las emociones de la tierra, una serie de términos acuñados por el filósofo ambiental Glenn Albrecht para responder afectivamente a la crisis ambiental. Estos ejemplos muestran que el significado que se otorga a las emociones no se da de una vez por todas, sino que se ubica en condiciones sociohistóricas, geográficas y culturales particulares y es construido por actores sociales.
