In this paper I show that a novel ontic reading of explanation, intending to capture the de re essential features of individuals, can support the qualitative view of individual essences. It is argued further that the putative harmful consequences of the Leibniz Principle (PII) and its converse for the qualitative view can be avoided, provided that individual essences are not construed in the style of the naïve bundle theory with set-theoretical identity- conditions. Adopting either the more sophisticated two-tier BT or, alternatively, the neo-Aristotelian position of taking essences as natures in the Aristotelian sense, can help to evade these main charges against the qualitative view. The functional parallels with the alternative haecceitistic view of individuation and individual essence will also be considered.

Georgius Agricola in 1556 in his classical book, “De Re Metallica”, mentioned a strange water drawn from a mine shaft near Schmölnitz in Hungary that eroded iron and turned it into copper. This precipitation (or cementation) of copper on iron was employed as a commercial technique for producing copper at the Rio Tinto Mines in Spain in the 16th Century, and it continues today to account for as much as 15 percent of the copper produced by several U.S. copper companies.In addition to the Cu/Fe system, many other similar heterogeneous, electrochemical reactions can occur where ions from solution are reduced to metal on a more electropositive metal surface. In the case of copper precipitation from solution, aluminum is also an interesting system because of economic, environmental (ecological) and energy considerations. In studies of copper cementation on aluminum as an alternative to the historical Cu/Fe system, it was noticed that the two systems (Cu/Fe and Cu/Al) were kinetically very different, and that this difference was due in large part to differences in the structure of the residual, cement-copper deposit.

En faisant taire l’histoire familiale, le traumatisme porte atteinte à ce qui fait la spécificité de chaque famille : sa capacité à transmettre. La transmission ne se déroule plus dans ce mouvement incessant entre le récit et son questionnement mais devient un système purement répétitif au sein duquel les croyances évolutives se transforment en dogmes disant le « tout » de l’individu. Dans ce contexte, l’auteure propose une lecture de différents symptômes au regard du traumatisme familial. Elle décrit, au travers d’une élaboration conceptuelle illustrée par des cas cliniques, son chemin thérapeutique qui est un remaillage collectif de l’histoire familiale. Il s’agit de (re)construire l’espace potentiel de la transmission comme un lieu comprenant suffisamment d’indétermination que pour faire surgir, à chaque génération, de l’inédit et de l’inattendu. Le nouveau cadre proposé délimite un espace thérapeutique regroupant plusieurs générations. Grâce à la rencontre dans l’espace partagé et au travail des mémoires individuelles, les générations différentes font l’expérience commune de l’histoire qui les a précédées. La conversation familiale prend forme, rendant possible la construction du récit commun.

El texto presenta una breve reflexión en torno a la relación entre lo comunitario y lo clínico. El autor se detiene en ambas expresiones para argumentar inicialmente que lo comunitario en tanto actividad representacional no posee nunca fundamentos, y que en esa falta de fundamento surge la necesidad de re-inventar sus sentidos. El dispositivo clínico por su parte, comporta una creación una vez que el paciente pone en relato una cierta realidad, relato en el cual eventualmente pueden surgir nuevos sentidos. Sin embargo ese decir sometido a la acción pictural y ficcional también carece de fundamentos. La constante re- invención que reclama la comunidad y el dispositivo clínico hacen surgir la idea de lo político como un cruce que da cuenta de su relación.

<div><p>Este artigo problematiza a resistência indígena em tempo de retrocessos de direitos, dando ênfase à realidade das mulheres. A carência de dados sobre as condições de vida de mulheres indígenas dificulta o conhecimento dos reais problemas enfrentados. Os dados estatísticos apresentados têm como fontes a Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU), a Comissão Econômica para a América e o Caribe (CEPAL) e o Conselho Indigenista Missionario (CIMI). O estudo está fundamentado na ideia da colonialidade do poder e na necessidade de (re)pensar os direitos humanos de forma descolonial. O texto propõe: 1. Um breve estado da arte sobre a mulher indígena e os efeitos da colonialidade; 2. Uma problematização entre identidade e memória no contexto de luta de resistência indígena; e 3. Caminhos contra hegemônicos para vencer os retrocessos.<strong> </strong></p></div><p class="Corpo"> </p>
