• Three notes on the anticapitalist polymorphic subject

  S. Tischler

  Collection of Acta Sociológica (2017).

  
  

  Abstract

  With the purpose of thinking revolutionary change, we expose certain notions oriented towards accounting for the crisis of the classical subject of the revolution and the emergence of a new way of thinking class struggle. Thus, the author begins with some concepts developed by Benjamin in his thesis on the concept of history, particularly those which allow us to see the concept of class struggle with an anti-progressive lens and to think the revolutionary subject not as part of the historical continuum, but as part of its fracture. Furthermore, he draws on Adorno’s Negative Dialectics, according to which the “system” is the negation of human liberty, hence the impossibility of thinking a society emancipated from domination when there are categories within her which are identified with the system. The developed concepts are finally articulated with the idea introduced by the Zapatista movement of an anti-capitalist subject of polymorphic and plural character, constituted by multiple struggles and subjects, for which collective dialogue is a method which allows him to establish horizontal agreements.

• Reflexivity of the technological forms of life in Scott Lash

  E. Ledesma

  Collection of Acta Sociológica (2017).

  
  

  Abstract

  The present article has as objective to establish an analysis of the problem of the reflexivity of the technological forms of life exposed by Scott Lash, through the identification of its central approaches with respect to the concept of reflection exposed in his theory of the doubles of reflective modernity. This is locate the main theses of the author on the diagnosis of the modern society in the terms of the reflexivity as one of its constituent elements, in order to characterize some of the “new forms of life” developed in the global culture of information that, among other things, are constituted by the deployment of the technological systems of computing base. This is intended to provide a typology enlarged about the technological forms of life that Lash presents only in descriptive terms, with the idea of contributing to a major sociological comprehension of certain dynamics of contemporary interaction, taking as a guiding axis two concepts linked to the work of the author: reflexivity and information structures. We review some points in common in discussions between Anthony Giddens, Ulrich Beck and Lash itself on the theory of reflexive modernization, in order to identify the starting point of the author in the description of the concept of technological lifestyles and an extension of the proposed word.

• Experts on “police violence”. Knowledge production in Argentina between civil society organizations and public administration

  G. Seghezzo

  Collection of Acta Sociológica (2017).

  
  

  Abstract

  The practices of the security forces, and more specifically, the deep violent matrix that crosses, have become a privileged object in the field of knowledge production in postdictatorship Argentina. This article analyzes an edge of these modes of construction of “police violence” as an object of knowledge in the social sciences. From a theoretical and methodological coordinates that use the contributions of Michel Foucault, the article studies what is the subject-game function that unfolds in academic statements that are organized around the “police violence”, showing that while it is possible to notice enunciative dispersions, however, it is possible to find a regularity –at the same time– linked to the fact that in all of them emerge one and the same subject position: the expert on “police violence”. Finally, the article deals with potential reviews and inherent risks of a form of knowledge production that has in its core the expert figure.

• From networks to public places: Web 2.0 and the new cycle of protests in the world

  G. Sancho

  Collection of Acta Sociológica (2017).

  
  

  Abstract

  For the last two decades, the expansion of Internet access as well as the new developments of the Information Technologies (it ), have transformed the forms of management, transmission and impact of protests and political activism. The appropriation of the technical instruments by extensive publics has contributed to the appearance of horizontal networks in which frameworks of shared meanings, actions and reflections for social protests are webbed. In this article the activist network is characterized as a new type of collective actor who does not fit in the traditional definitions of social movement and who has a marked communicative dimension. Furthermore, we present a genealogy of the appropriation of the it for social causes, from the beginnings of the Internet until we reach the web 2.0 and the global action cycle which bursts in 2011 with the Arab spring, the Indignants in Spain and Occupy Wall Street in the United States, amongst others.

• Violence against women in the news in Mexico: uncritical and dissimilar treatment of a serious social problem

  M. Rajs

  Collection of Acta Sociológica (2017).

  
  

  Abstract

  As part of a comprehensive study about violence against women (VaW) and media, we used a method of content analysis of newspapers, television and radio news in Mexico in two time periods in 2011 to determine the treatment of VaW in the news. 8, 610 press news sources, 4, 719 TV news sources and 3, 855 radio news sources were classified and analyzed from a national coverage media selection. The results show that visibility in the news does not contribute to present VaW as a social problem of public interest, related to the inequality between women and men. Instead, information about individual cases prevails, without mention or analysis of the social or structural problem. Also, different treatment and degrees of importance and visibility have been identified for each media. Television is the media that least mentions the responsibilities of the State and society in the fight for eliminating violence against women.
