Estudio De Caso

El presente artículo trata de una inmersión en la realidad social de la comunidad del entorno del Parque Estatal de las Fuentes de Ipiranga, una unidad de conservación urbana de la ciudad de Sno Paulo, el tercer remanente más importante de la Mata Atlántica del municipio. El estudio de caso aquí presentado describe el proceso de gestión participativa que incluyó a los grupos interesados en la acción: el poder público del municipio (prefectura de la ciudad de Diadema), el poder estatal (Instituto de Botánica) y la comunidad local. En el campo de la investigación y la acción se utilizaron técnicas de grupo focal para detectar los principales conflictos ambientales del área; se realizaron entrevistas con los moradores para entender su percepción sobre los problemas ambientales, y se hicieron reuniones periódicas para planear las acciones a seguir. Los resultados nos proporcionaron elementos para afirmar que hubo un proceso de capacitación de los ciudadanos en relación con la organización de las acciones colectivas; éstas arrojaron resultados significativos que mejoraron la calidad social y ambiental del área. AbstractThis article describes an immersion in the social reality of the community of the State Park of Fuentes de Ipiranga, an urban conservation unit in the city of São Paulo, the third largest remnant of the Atlantic Forest in the municipality. The case study presented here describes the participatory management process that included the groups interested in the action: the municipal authorities (prefecture of the city of Diadema), the state authorities (Institute of Botany) and the local community. In the field of research and action, focus group techniques were used to identify the main environmental conflicts in the area; interviews were conducted with residents to understand their perception of environmental issues, and regular meetings were held to plan the actions to be taken. The results indicate that there was a process of training citizens with regard to the organization of collective action, which yielded significant results that improved the social and environmental quality of the area.

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.
