Introducción: El presente artículo describe los resultados de un estudio sobre migración con interés educativo; propone como objeto de reflexión a las remesas, no precisamente económicas, sino las socioculturales. Discute algunos de sus mecanismos de viaje para contribuir a la explicación del problema de la educación de los niños y niñas migrantes del campo agrícola mexicano y también para contribuir a la comprensión del sujeto educativo en circunstancia de migración.Método: El enfoque metodológico fue cualitativo-narrativo. En ese sentido, la composición de cartas, la escritura de diarios compartidos, y el registro de observación participante, fueron utilizados como recursos de investigación. En la muestra participaron 22 sujetos, integrando una comunidad de práctica para el aprendizaje de la profesión docente. 16 de ellos eran prácticos/as de la educación de migrantes que al mismo tiempo recibían su formación inicial como licenciados en educación primaria, y los otros seis eran acompañantes con estudios de posgrado en educación.Resultados: Los resultados confirman que algunas remesas socioculturales, pueden ser propagadas cubriendo exitosamente el tejido social de los pueblos y otras, no; lo que depende de la relación no arbitraria establecida entre el esquema interpretativo de los individuos o pueblos destinatarios y los contenidos socioculturales de la remesa que expresan los migrantes.Discusión y Conclusión: Con base en los resultados, se han propuesto los conceptos de resonancia sociocultural regenerativa y resonancia sociocultural disipativa para designar esa realidad como primer acercamiento a la comprensión de los mecanismos de viaje de las remesas socioculturales Introduction: This paper describes the results of a study about the educational context in the migration phenomenon. The study proposes as subject of reflection the remittances, not precisely the economic ones, but the socio-culturals. It discusses some of the spread mechanisms to contribute to the explanation of the educational problem of the migrant children in the Mexican agricultural fields and also, it contributes to the comprehension of the educative subject living the migration phenomenon.Method: The methodological approach of this study was qualitative-narrative. Letter composition, the writing of shared diaries and the participant observation records were used as investigation resources. A community of practice for the learning of the docent profession composed by 22 individuals was the sample of this study. 16 were in charge of the education of migrants and were receiving their initial formation as primary education teachers at the same time. The other six were doing post graduate studies.Results: The results confirm that some socio-cultural remittances are spread and successfully integrated in the social lifestyle of the population and some other cannot do so. This process depends on the non arbitrary relation between the interpretative scheme of the person or the destination population and the socio-cultural contents of the remittance expressed by the migrant population.Discussion and Conclusion: Based on the results, the regenerative and dissipative socio-cultural resonances are proposed concepts to designate this reality, representing the first approach to the comprehension of mechanisms of the socio-cultural remittances spread.

Abstract:ANXIETY SELF-PERCEPTION IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION TEACHERS OF BADAJOZ AND CASTELO BRANCOThis study makes part of another broader one whose aim is analyzing the influence of the emotional competence on the social environment of a class and on the pupils’ academic performance. In particular, this part of the study intends to know the degree of Anxiety Self-Perception in Elementary Education teachers of educational centers of Castelo Branco (Portugal) and Primary Education teachers in the town of Badajoz (Spain), as an aspect which makes a condition of the teaching quality. To do so they designed an investigation, in which the results of an Anxiety Self-Percetion Test were contrasted in situations of the educational context carried out by Portuguese and Spanish teachers. As a general conclusion, the anxiety and stress self-perception in Spanish teachers is higher than in Portuguese ones, especially regarding the motor appearances, where we can find significant differences.Keywords: anxiety, teachers, school.Resumen:Este estudio forma parte de otro más amplio cuya finalidad es analizar la influencia de la competencia emocional en el clima social de un aula y en el rendimiento académico de los alumnos. Concretamente, esta parte del estudio pretende conocer el grado de Autopercepción de la Ansiedad en Maestros de Enseñanza Básica de centros educativos de la ciudad de Castelo Branco (Portugal)  y en Maestros de Educación Primaria de la ciudad de Badajoz (España), como aspecto que condiciona la calidad de la enseñanza. Para ello se diseñó una investigación, en la que se compararon los resultados de un Test de Autopercepción de Ansiedad en situaciones del contexto educativo cumplimentado por profesores portugueses y españoles. Como conclusión general, la autopercepción de la ansiedad y el estrés de los docentes españoles es superior al de los portugueses, sobre todo en lo que concierne a las manifestaciones motoras, en las que existen diferencias significativas.Palabras clave: ansiedad, docentes, escuela.

Document Review

Se identificó el nivel de desempeño de las mujeres en las Unidades Productivas Familiares (UPF) y la relación existente entre las familias de la comunidad El Zopilote, municipio de Rosita, Región Autónoma Atlántico Norte. El estudio es cualitativo, se han descrito situaciones, personas, interacciones, actitudes y comportamientos observables. Los fundamentos teórico-metodológicos tienen como enfoque el interaccionismo simbólico porque se reflexiona sobre los significados sociales que las personas asignan al mundo que les rodea para valorar o visibilizar la participación de las mujeres en el trabajo y en la toma de decisiones en las UPF. Las técnicas fueron entrevistas, observación participante, grupos focales, mapeo de las unidades productivas seleccionadas y revisión documental. Se encontró que las mujeres de la comunidad El Zopilote están involucradas en diferentes actividades dentro de las Unidades Productivas Familiares. Tienen un alto nivel de participación en todo el ciclo productivo, evidenciándose así que tienen parte en algunas decisiones y que es menor sobre los rubros de mayor valor para la comercialización de los productos. El estudio aporta la facilitación de nuevas estrategias a todas las ONG e instituciones del Estado que desean trabajar en la comunidad con temas relacionados al estudiado. SUMMARY We identified the level of performance of women in the Family Production Units (FPU) and the relationship between the families of the community El Zopilote, municipality of Rosita, North Atlantic Autonomous Region. The study is qualitative and it describes situations, people, interactions, attitudes and observable behaviors. The theoretical and methodological approach are focus on a symbolic interactionism because it examines the social meanings that people put on the world that surrounds them to assess and highlight women participation in the work and decision-making in the FPU. The techniques that were applied are: interviews, participant observation, focus groups, mapping of the selected production units and document review. Among the results we found that the women of the community El Zopilote are involved in different activities within the family production units. They have a high level of participation in the entire production cycle, and this is evident that they are taken into consideration in some decisions which are less on the items of greater value for the marketing of products. The study provides new strategies to the NGO’s and state institutions who are interested to work in the community on issues related to this study.

This presentation examines the social media campaign #SupportIslandWomen that was undertaken by reproductive rights activists in Prince Edward Island (PEI). The initiative gained popularity in 2016 due to both the off- and online circulation of posters throughout PEI landmarks depicting the Green Gables-like image of a young girl (“rogue Anne”) wearing red braids and a bandana. These posters showcased specific hashtags that encouraged debates on various online platforms. For this study, we underline how human actors invoked the symbolic ‘figure’ of rogue Anne to give weight to their own arguments by speaking or acting in her name. By ‘figure’, we mean any symbolic entity that is materialized through interaction and that possesses agency, or the ability to make a significant difference in interaction. Hence, our study examines the processes through which rogue Anne was made present in interaction, the role of digital (online) and physical (offline) affordances in the materialization of this figure, and the differentiated effects that these invocations generated. To do so, we build our dataset by performing non-participant observation on social media platforms and by exploring Canadian blogs and newspapers. Drawing from organizational discourse theory, our results show that invoking the figure of rogue Anne allowed for pro-choice collectives to assert their authority in abortion debates by labelling the fictional character as a modern feminist icon. They also underline the importance of studying the intervention of symbolic figures, their effects, and their materialization within political initiatives that incorporate and go beyond the practice of ‘hashtagging’.

Pocos estudios se han realizado dentro de la fábrica, desde el "el piso de la fábrica" y el estudio de la agroindustria de limón ofreció una excelente oportunidad para hacerlo. Las características de la etnografía y la observación-participante dentro y fuera de las fábricas, una de capital mexicano y otra de capital danés, son útiles para dar cuenta de los procesos de reconstrucción de la historia de la región a partir de contextos socioeconómicos específicos, y para dar cuenta de las articulaciones prácticas entre los planes macro y micro de las relaciones socioeconómicas y políticas. La observación-participante directa en diversas actividades relacionadas con la producción del limón fue una herramienta esencial para un acercamiento a los grupos sociales que conforman la región del Valle de Tecomán. Palabras clave: Antropología del trabajo. Agroindustria del limón. Sistema económico mundial. Observación participante.   Lemon agro-industry in the Valley of Tecoman, Mexico: An Anthropological Approach.   Abstract Few studies have been performed inside the factory, from the "factory shop floor" and the study of agro-industry lemon offered an excellent opportunity to do so. The resources of ethnography and the participant observation, inside and outside of factories of mexican capital and other capital of Danish, are useful to give an account of reconstruction processes of regional history from contexts socio-economic specific, and to understand the joints practices between the macro and micro relations socio-economic and political. The direct participant observation  in the various activities related to the production of lemon was a fundamental tool for an approximation to the social groups that define the region of the Valley of Tecoman, Colima, Mexico.

Considering the social and ecological obsolescence of the conventional agricultural model and the crisis faced by rural areas, innovative models based on collective initiatives and agroecological practices are emerging. Here, we present the use of a participatory farming lab as a space to reactivate the agrarian sector in rural and periurban areas of Madrid. The specific objectives of this study are: (1) to describe the project; (2) to identify participants’ profiles and motivations and (3) to identify the most socially valued ecosystem services and the actions collectively taken to enhance them. To do so, we have used the living lab conceptual approach and the ecosystem service lens. Data gathering included a combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques, including participant observation, informal and formal meetings, interviews, workshops and surveys. We found a diversity of motivations for enrolling in the program and 20 ecosystem services were selected as socially important. We also describe how the project has contributed to adopting agroecological practices to sustain those ecosystem services. Finally, we discuss the contribution of the project towards new and integrated rural development strategies, including its potential to promote cooperative solutions that enhance farming activity by also providing ecosystem services.

Living in the Merry Ghetto reframes how people use music to build resistance. To do so, Hagen addresses the social context of illegal music-making in Czechoslovakia during state socialism, asking “How Do Aesthetics Nurture Political Consciousness?”. He tells the story of a group of rock ’n’ rollers who went underground after 1968, building a parallel world from where they could flourish: the Merry Ghetto. The book examines the case of the Czech Underground, the politics of their music and their way of life, paying close attention to the development of the ensemble the Plastic People of the Universe. Taking in multiple political transitions from the 1940s to the 2000s, the story focuses on non-official cultural practices such as listening to foreign radio broadcasts, seeking out copied cassette tapes, listening to banned LPs, growing long hair, attending clandestine concerts, smuggling albums via diplomats, recording in home-studios, and being thrown in prison for any of these activities. Drawing on ethnographic interviews with Undergrounders, archival research, and participant observation, Hagen shows how these practices shaped consciousness, informed bodies, and promoted collective action, all of which contributed to an Underground way of life.

In this article, the author reflects on how complementing an interview-based methodological approach with participation may be conducive to creating nuanced knowledges about processes of identification, belonging and marginalization. The thoughts he elaborates on emerge from two experiences of fieldwork conducted with gender and sexual minority migrants in the UK and France. He dwells on the uses that social researchers make of some well-established methods when doing research fieldwork: participant observation, researcher’s distance, and positionality. In so doing, the author activates the queer signifier to help us think through how the words researchers use, and where they are situated, influence their sensibilities as investigators of the social.

The article examines the contribution of the representatives of the Samarin family to the development of the Parish issue in the Russian Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The issue of expanding the rights of the laity in the sphere of parish self-government was one of the most debated problems of Church life in that period. The public discussion was initiated by D.F. Samarin (1827-1901). He formulated the “social concept” of the parish and parish reform, based on Slavophile views on society and the Church. In the beginning of the twentieth century his eldest son F.D. Samarin who was a member of the Special Council on the development the Orthodox parish project in 1907, and as such developed the Slavophile concept of the parish. In 1915, A.D. Samarin, who took up the position of the Chief Procurator of the Most Holy Synod, tried to make his contribution to the cause of the parish reforms, but he failed to do so due to his resignation.

Scholarship negotiating African folktales and the entire folkloric tradition in Africa has always been constituted as harbouring fundamental lacks. One of these lacks is the supposed incapacity of oral cultures to produce high literature. However, it is true that folktales and other oral forms in Africa can participate actively in the social, political and cultural process. In this paper, we engage folktales told by the Tiv of central Nigeria and situate them within the dynamic of history, culture, modernity and national construction in Nigeria. The paper adopts a historicist and culturalist perspective in its interpretation of the folktales which were collected in particular Tiv communities. This methodological approach helps to crystallize the historical and cultural lineaments embedded in the people’s experiences, values and worldviews. It also constitutes a contextual background for the understanding of the folktales as they offer informed commentaries on social currents and political contingencies in Nigeria. It argues that though folktales belong to a pre-scientific and pre-industrial dispensation, they are part of the people’s intangible cultural heritage and are capable of distilling powerful statements which negotiate Nigerian modernity and postcolonial condition. The paper underscores the dynamism and functionality of folktales even in an increasingly globalised ethos.
