Resumen El crecimiento demográfico del municipio de Soacha (Colombia) genera un impacto urbano y ecológico que propicia la disminución del sentido de pertenencia y de arraigo entre sus habitantes; por ello, se busca reconocer cuáles son las experiencias que los diferentes actores involucrados tienen sobre el municipio. La presente investigación tiene un enfoque cualitativo, donde se analizan los Planes Nacionales de Desarrollo (PND) entre 1970 y 2012, a la luz del crecimiento urbano, las características históricas y las políticas de gobierno. Se aplicaron encuestas y ejercicios de cartografía social, con lo que se evidenciaron los contrastes entre las percepciones del municipio por parte de sus habitantes, caracterizadas por la indiferencia hacia lo público y la agresividad hacia el medio ambiente. Se trabajó con un grupo focal a través de una estrategia de reconocimiento del territorio. El resultado permitió analizar cómo la construcción del territorio depende de la interacción de los grupos sociales con el entorno físico; de esta manera, se construyen relaciones de apropiación que realzan rasgos identitarios, y ello es fundamental para fomentar un cambio en la percepción de dichos grupos sobre el municipio y suscitar interés en continuar reconociendo el territorio. Palabras clave: Crecimiento urbano; desarrollo urbano; imaginarios urbanos; percepción urbana; políticas públicas; segregación urbana.   Abstract The demographic growth of the municipality of Soacha (Colombia) generates an urban and ecological impact that leads to a decrease in the sense of belonging and roots among its inhabitants. Therefore, it was sought to identify the perceptions that the different actors involved had about the municipality. This research had a qualitative approach, where the National Development Plans (PND, for its Spanish acronym) between 1970 and 2012 were analyzed, in the light of urban growth, historical characteristics and government policies. Surveys and social mapping exercises were applied, which evidenced the contrasts between the perceptions of the inhabitants about the municipality, characterized by indifference towards the public sphere and aggressiveness towards the environment. The project worked with a focus group through a territory recognition strategy. The result allowed to analyze how the construction of the territory depends on the interaction of social groups with the physical environment. In this way, appropriation relationships that enhance identity traits are built, and this is essential to foster a change in the perception of those groups about the municipality and arouse interest in continuing to recognize the territory. Keywords: Urban growth, urban development, urban imaginary, urban perception, public politics, urban segregation.   Recibido: marzo 6 / 2019  Evaluado: mayo 7 / 2019  Aceptado: agosto 15 / 2019   Publicado en línea: septiembre de 2019                              Actualizado: octubre de 2019

Rules Of The Game

Fifty years ago Milton Friedman famously argued that the social responsibility of business is to increase its profits, which today are at record highs. And, as public institutions falter, business is now offering to step into the void. We must resist this (further) intrusion of business into the public sphere, as it will further depreciate civic institutions. The business of business is business, and so it should be. Business’ track record in public politics has been to engineer the rules of the game to its own advantage.

AbstractUnlike in other countries with debt-saddled populations, the issue of consumer debt has been weakly politicized in Azerbaijan. There have been no social movements of the kind that occurred around the financial crises in the United States, the European periphery, or even in Ukraine's post-revolution attempt at a “financial Maidan.” The lack of a public politics of debt left banks to act as predators, using a weak court system to intimidate people and obtain repayment of debts. Yet the constraints to the public sphere within which a contentious politics might unfold does not mean no such politicization exists. Using the example of Antikollektor, a successful anti-debt-collection agency in Baku, this article demonstrates the usefulness of building an understanding of civil society outside of the reductivist frames that shape recent debates over the authoritarian backlash against foreign-funded organized civil society in the former Eastern Bloc.

The Human Condition

<p>A juicio de Tocqueville, la igualdad implica dos tendencias en la democracia; una impulsa directamente a los hombres a la independencia y otra los conduce a la servidumbre, a una igualación que cabe denominar homogeneidad. El artículo tiene por objeto avanzar –desde el pensamiento arendtiano– en el estudio de la homogenización denunciada por Tocqueville. El argumento se divide en dos partes. En la primera, sostiene que la igualdad propiamente política ha colapsado bajo las dinámicas de la homogenización desatada tras el auge de lo social y la consecuente destrucción de la esfera pública denunciados por Arendt. Estamos, en el marco de su teoría, ante la igualdad de los modernos, la cual implica la destrucción de la condición humana de la pluralidad. Luego, en la segunda parte, se explica el vínculo entre la pluralidad, cuya realización está dada por la igualdad, en el primer sentido que le da Tocqueville, y la esfera pública. La tesis plantea que este vínculo es elaborado por Arendt en La condición humana, donde sostiene que la pluralidad es una conditio per qam de la vida política, un rasgo exclusivo del actor político u hombre de acción, la más elevada de las tres condiciones que componen la vita activa.</p><p>Palabras clave: igualdad, libertad, servidumbre, espacio público, Tocqueville, Arendt.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><em>THE HUMAN PLURALITY AS A CONDITIO PER QUAM OF POLITICAL LIFE</em></p><p><em>According to Tocqueville, equality involves two trends in democracy; one drives men directly to independence and the other leads to servitude, to an equalization that may be called homogeneity. The aim of the article is to advance the study of Tocqueville’s homogenization through Hanna Arendt’s thinking. The argument is divided into two parts. In the first part it argues that actual political equality has collapsed under the homogenisation unleashed after the rise of the social and the consequent destruction of the public sphere denounced by Arendt. In the context of her theory, we are facing “modern equality”, which involves the destruction of the human condition of plurality. Then in the second part, the link between plurality, whose realization is given by ‘equality’ in the first sense that Tocqueville describes, and the public sphere, is explained. The thesis argues that this link is worked by Arendt in her book The Human Condition, which states that plurality is conditio per quam from political life, an exclusive feature of the political actor or man of action, the highest of the three conditions that make the vita activa.</em></p><p><em>Keywords: equality, freedom, servitude, public space, Tocqueville, Arendt.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p> </p>

ABSTRACTAcademia has a triple mission: research, education, and extension. This paper deals with ‘public communication’ as a matter for education and extension. The idea is that there is no citizenship or democracy without the training on ‘public communication’ abilities. Only citizens who are able to speak and act at the public sphere can participate on the social life. Such abilities are twofold: parliamentary (how to speak) and executive (how to act). The paper shows how is possible to effectively communicate through silent acts, as well as how ‘public communication’ can have a “dark side of the force”. Finally, it states that all ‘public communication’ should lead to peaceful living and social cohesion. KEYWORDS: public communication; education; extension; training; civic skills.  RESUMOA Academia tem uma tripla missão: pesquisa, educação e extensão.

La mujer romana como modelo familiar en el Siglo XXI Resumen.-Con la realización del presente trabajo pretendemos investigar sobre cuál ha venido siendo el papel de la mujer desde los esponsales hasta el matrimonio, a lo largo de la Historia. Reparando, muy especialmente, en la madre de familia romana como modelo a seguir para la mujer del siglo XXI, dada su progresiva adquisición de derechos tanto en la vida privada como en la pública. Así, el título de mater familias fue evolucionando positivamente y la injuria contra las matronas pasó a ser un delito según el Edicto de adtemptata pudicitia; no sólo por constituir desde una perspectiva de género un atentado contra su honor, como en nuestros días, sino porque dicha conducta punible iba contra las buenas costumbres. Palabras clave.-matrimonio, esponsales, derechos, buenas costumbres, matrona. The Roman Woman as a Family Model in the 21st Century Abstract.-With the accomplishment of the writing that follow we pretend to investigate what was the role of women from betrothal to marriage, throughout the History. Repairing, especially, in the roman family mother as a model for the modern woman of the twenty-first century, motivated by their gradual acquisition of rights both in private life and in the public sphere. As well, mater familias title evolved positively and slander against the matrons became an offense under the Edict of adtemptata pudicitia; not only because from a gender perspective was an attack on her honor, as today, but because this punishable conduct was against morality. Keywords.-marriage, betrothal, rigths, morality, matron.

Resumen: La información, como mecanismo de sensibilización, despierta nuestro interés hacia algo que hasta el momento ha podido pasar desapercibido. Tomamos conciencia y queremos saber más sobre ello. A su vez, un mayor nivel de conocimiento promueve un cambio de opinión y puede que también un cambio de actitud y de comportamiento. Pero no es fácil “hacer llegar” la información. Seleccionar bien los mensajes, adecuarlos a las características de cada target, y utilizar canales “a la medida” del público diana son factores clave para el desarrollo eficiente de las acciones de comunicación. Hemos aplicado los mecanismos que utilizan las empresas e instituciones no sanitarias para posicionar sus productos en el mercado. No inventamos nada, simplemente demostramos que el “producto salud” se puede “vender” utilizando los mismo recursos de comunicación del producto de consumo más convencional. Describimos el plan de comunicación utilizado para la Campaña de sensibilización ciudadana en Seguridad del Paciente, una experiencia de comunicación en salud extrapolable a cualquier área de conocimiento. Proponemos un Modelo de Plan de Comunicación válido para su aplicación en cualquier ámbito de la esfera pública: educativo, cívico, socio-sanitario, etc. Palabras clave: Comunicación en salud; Educación sanitaria; Publicidad; Estrategias; Impacto; Medios de comunicación; Participación de la comunidad; Salud Pública.Abstract : The information, as a mechanism of awareness, awakens our interest towards something that until now could have gone unnoticed. We become aware and we want to know more about it. In turn, a higher level of knowledge promotes a change of opinion and may also a change in attitude and behavior. But it is not easy to "get the information". Selecting the properly messages, adapting them to the characteristics of each target, and using channels "tailored" to the target audience are key factors for the efficient development of communication actions. We have applied the mechanisms used by companies and non-health institutions to position their products in the market. We do not invent anything, we simply show that the "health product" can be "sold" using the same communication resources of the most conventional consumer product. We describe the communication plan used for the Citizen Awareness Campaign on Patient Safety, a communication experience in health that can be extrapolated to any area of knowledge. We propose a valid Communication Plan Model for its application in any area of the public sphere: educational, civic, socio-sanitary, etc.Keywords: Health communication; Health education; Advertising; Strategies; Impact; Communications media; Community participation; Public Health.
