RESUMEN: El meme en Internet puede ser entendido como un texto digital que implica no solo complejos sistemas de referencias, sino también extensas posibilidades expresivas. Se trata de un recurso de enunciación que recientemente ha adquirido mayor relevancia social, en buena medida, a partir de las características sociotécnicas de las plataformas sociodigitales en las que circulan ampliamente, entre las que destacan Facebook, Twitter, entre otras. A pesar de que se trata de unidades de sentido dadas por distintos tipos de signos (pueden ser tanto cadenas de caracteres como imágenes en movimiento o estáticas), haremos énfasis en estas últimas, en función del corpus de análisis recopilado. A partir de una observación de tipo cualitativo, durante el proceso electoral para la elección presidencial en México (que tuvo lugar entre diciembre de 2017 y julio de 2018), se registraron 900 memes a través de los cuales es posible identificar diversos tipos de expresiones, algunas de las cuales pueden ser ubicadas en cercanía a prácticas políticas. El objetivo central del trabajo que se propone es reflexionar sobre la naturaleza del meme como texto, así como las posibilidades que brinda para observar las dinámicas que uso y reinterpretación de estos signos de naturaleza digital, a partir de un contexto electoral en el que los usuarios participaron generando, compartiendo y modificando este tipo de unidades culturales. PALABRAS CLAVE: memes en Internet; texto; usos sociales de la tecnología; elecciones.   ABSTRACT:Internet memes can be understood as digital texts that involve not only complex systems of references, but also extensive expressive possibilities. It is an enunciation resource that has recently acquired greater social relevance, largely from the sociotechnical characteristics of the social network sites in which they circulate widely, among which Facebook, Twitter and others stand out. Although these are units of meaning given by different types of signs (they can be both strings of characters as moving or static images), we will emphasize the last ones, depending on the corpus of analysis collected. From a qualitative observation, during the electoral process for the presidential election in Mexico (which took place between December 2017 and July 2018), 900 memes were registered through which it is possible to identify various types of expressions, some of which can be located in close proximity to political practices. The main objective of the proposed work is to reflect on the nature of the meme as a text, as well as the possibilities it offers to observe the dynamics of use and reinterpretation of these signs of a digital nature, from an electoral context in which users participated generating, sharing and modifying this type of cultural units. KEYWORDS: internet memes; text; social uses of technology; elections.

This paper examines interest-oriented vs. relationship-oriented social network sites in China and their different implications for collective action. By utilizing a structural analysis of the design features and a survey of members of the social networks, this paper shows that the way a social network site is designed strongly suggests the formation and maintenance of different types of social ties. The social networks formed among strangers who share common interests imply different types of collective action, compared to the social networks that aim at the replication and strengthening of off-line relationships.

En este texto se reflexiona sobre: los usos sociales de la fotografía en la construcción social del pasado de Villa Guillermina, comunidad de origen foresto-industrial. Se aborda el tema considerando: antecedentes históricos involucrados, contexto de emergencia de dichas memorias, y público receptor. Se analiza la tensión, que generan las memorias contrapuestas, sobre un pasado comunitario. Y se observan las estrategias utilizadas por los actores sociales para resolver, en la práctica, el dilema de las memorias disidentes. En este sentido se observa, en el Museo, cómo se expresa este conflicto con las fotografías, presentes y ausentes, las cuales orientan el relato sobre ese pasado comunitario. Palabras clave: Museo. Fotografías. Memorias. Conflicto. Turismo.   Images and Memory: The social use of photographs in the re-elaboration of a common past   Abstract   In this text we reflect on the social uses of photography in the social construction of the past at Villa Guillermina, a community of forest-industrial origin. We address the topic considering the historical background, the context for the emergency of such memories, and the recipient public. We analyze the tension created by opposed memories in the re-elaboration of the past. And we observe the strategies used by social actors to solve, in practice, the dilemma of dissenting memories. In this sense, we observe how the conflict appears in the photographic exhibition presented at the Museum. Keywords: Museum. Photographs. Memories. Conflict. Tourism.

Research into the norm of internality ( Beauvois & Dubois, 1988 ) has shown that the expression of internal causal explanations is socially valued in social judgment. However, the value attributed to different types of internal explanations (e.g., efforts vs. traits) is far from homogeneous. This study used the Weiner (1979 ) tridimensional model to clarify the factors explaining the social utility attached to internal versus external explanations. Three dimensions were manipulated: locus of causality, controllability, and stability. Participants (N = 180 students) read the explanations expressed by appliants during a job interview. They then described the applicants on the French version of the revised causal dimension scale and rated their future professional success. Results indicated that internal-controllable explanations were the most valued. In addition, perceived internal and external control of explanations were significant predictors of judgments.

This chapter examines the social functions of speaker-oriented attitude datives in Levantine Arabic. It analyzes these datives as perspectivizers used by a speaker to instruct her hearer to view her as a form of authority in relation to him, to the content of her utterance, and to the activity they are both involved in. The nature of this authority depends on the sociocultural, situational, and co-textual context, including the speaker’s and hearer’s shared values and beliefs, their respective identities, and the social acts employed in interaction. The chapter analyzes specific instances of speaker-oriented attitude datives as used in different types of social acts (e.g., commands, complaints) and in different types of settings (e.g., family talk, gossip). It also examines how these datives interact with facework, politeness, and rapport management.

Today, worldview, spiritual and moral problems that have always been reflected in education and upbringing come to the fore in society. In this situation, there is a demand for philosophical categories. One of the priority goals of education in modern conditions is the formation of a reasonable, reflexive person who is able to analyze their actions and the actions of other people. Modern science is characterized by an understanding of the absolute value and significance of childhood in the development of the individual, which implies the need for its multilateral study. In the conditions of democratization of all spheres of life, the child ceases to be a passive object of education and training, and becomes an active carrier of their own meanings of being and the subject of world creation. One of the realities of childhood is philosophizing, so it is extremely timely to address the identification of its place and role in the world of childhood. Children's philosophizing is extremely poorly studied, although the need for its analysis is becoming more obvious. Children's philosophizing is one of the forms of philosophical reflection, which has its own qualitative specificity, on the one hand, and commonality with all other forms of philosophizing, on the other. The social relevance of the proposed research lies in the fact that children's philosophizing can be considered as an intellectual indicator of a child's socialization, since the process of reflection involves the adoption and development of culture. Modern society, in contrast to the traditional one, is ready to "accept" a philosophizing child, which means that it is necessary to determine the main characteristics and conditions of children's philosophizing.

  RESUMEN El presente artículo es una reflexión sobre la práctica del trabajo social en el rol de perito social forense dentro del sistema de administración de justicia, donde su labor se funda en mediar entre la realidad del periciado –sujeto del que se debe dar cuenta en una investigación judicial– y quien requiere de los antecedentes necesarios para que el “Juez” dicte sentencia, lo que habitualmente genera un “conflicto de interpretaciones”. En tal sentido, es relevante discutir las dificultades que deben enfrentar las y los trabajadores sociales, en cuanto a la comprensión de una realidad cada vez más compleja, y al conflicto que se genera entre las interpretaciones de los mundos de vida de las personas y los requerimientos del sistema judicial chileno. Palabras clave: Pericia judicial social forense - Trabajo Social Pericial - Conflicto de interpretaciones. A compreensão dos conflitos de interpretação na prática do perito social forense RESUMO O presente artigo é uma reflexão sobe a prática do trabalho social no rol de perito social forense dentro do sistema de administração de justiça; onde seu labor funda-se em mediar entre a realidade do periciado – pessoa de quem se deve dar conta numa investigação judicial – e quem precisa dos antecedentes necessários para que o “Juiz” determine sentencia o que habitualmente, gera um “conflito de interpretações”. Neste sentido, é relevante discutir as dificuldades que devem enfrentar as e os trabalhadores sociais, em quanto á compreensão de uma realidade cada vez mais complexa, e ao conflito que se gera entre as interpretações dos mundos de vida das pessoas e aos requerimentos do sistema judicial chileno. Palavras chave: Pericia judicial social forense - Trabalho Socia Pericial - Conflito das interpretações. Understanding the conflicts of interpretation in the social forensic expert practice ABSTRACT This article is a reflection on social work practice in the social role forensic expert plays in the legal system, where their job is based on mediating between ‘periciado’ – individual who is being charged during a trial at the court and requires the necessary case background for the ‘Judge’ to deliver judgment, which usually generates a “conflict of interpretations”. In this view, it is relevant to discuss the difficulties faced by social workers, in terms of understanding an increasingly complex reality, and the conflict that emerges among the interpretations of the life of people and Chilean legal system requirements. Keywords: Forensic Social Legal Expertise - Forensic Social Work – Conflict of interpretations

Resumen: Los procesos de formación de profesores han estado fuertemente influenciados por una lógica aplicacionista y una visión fragmentada y prescriptiva de la naturaleza del conocimiento. Se puede observar una enseñanza basada en la oralidad, en un bajo trabajo práctico y una escasa vinculación con la realidad educativa y los requerimientos del contexto. Se hace necesario que en dichos procesos se reconozca a los futuros profesores como sujetos de conocimiento con quienes se debiese generar una estructura curricular práctica activa y reflexiva.El reconocer la complejidad de los procesos que se llevan a cabo en el contexto educacional, hace necesario transitar desde una lógica instrumental/mecanicista, proceso-producto a una perspectiva epistemológica donde se rescate el dinamismo del ámbito educacional y la complejidad del sistema social en que éste se encuentra inserto. Palabras clave: Formación Inicial Docente - Construcción de Conocimiento Profesional – Prácticas – Reflexión Profesional Abstract Teacher education processes have been heavily  influenced by application logic, as well as, to a fragmented and prescriptive vision of the nature of knowledge, instead of the construction of it. A teaching process based on the predominance of oral discourse, low practical work, and a limited relation with educational reality and context needs, has been  observed. It seems necessary to recognize student - teachers as knowledge subjects with whom there should be an active/reflective curricular activity, and also recognize the complexity of the processes that take place in the educational context. In other words, it is necessary to move from an instrumental, process/ product perspective towards an epistemological perspective able to recognize the dynamism in the educational system and the complexity of the social system in which it is immersed. Key Words: Initial Teacher Formation- Professional Knowledge Construction- Practicum- Professional Reflection

Studying trust within human-robot interaction is of great importance given the social relevance of robotic agents in a variety of contexts. We investigated the acquisition, loss and restoration of trust when preschool and school-age children played with either a human or a humanoid robot in-vivo. The relationship between trust and the quality of attachment relationships, Theory of Mind, and executive function skills was also investigated. No differences were found in children’s trust in the play-partner as a function of agency (human or robot). Nevertheless, 3-years-olds showed a trend toward trusting the human more than the robot, while 7-years-olds displayed the reverse behavioral pattern, thus highlighting the developing interplay between affective and cognitive correlates of trust.
