scholarly journals Contrasting Two Ideas of the Human Person, Social Constructionism and Realism, by Their Similarities in Idolatry and Iconography

This essay will seek to contrast two ideas of human person, social constructionism and realism, through assessing similarities found in their aesthetic notions of idolatry and iconography, respectively. The essay will explore Michel Foucault’s social constructionism and Aristotle’s realism; in particular, how their ontological conclusion stems from their epistemological framework. The essay will consider what is meant by iconography and idolatry, relying on Jean-Luc Marion’s God Without Being[1] to show how idolatry mirrors social constructionism and how iconography mirrors realism, evincing the contrast between them

 El siguiente texto describe los orígenes de la psicología discursiva, corriente alternativa a la hegemonía del paradigma cognitivista en psicología. El contexto epistemológico desarrollado se origina en el giro lingüístico, continúa con el construccionismo social y la psicología social construccionista y finaliza con el análisis del discurso. Dicho marco explica las características distintivas de la psicología discursiva en relación a las otras corrientes y escuelas de psicología. Asimismo, los conceptos psicológicos y en particular el concepto de identidad, abordados desde la psicología discursiva, experimentan un giro no solo en su abordaje metodológico sino también en su ontología, adquiriendo una esencia discursiva. Finalmente, se propone un ensamblaje de la psicología discursiva con la antropología postmoderna para generar un nuevo concepto de identidad cultural y para esbozar un posible desarrollo de la psicología discursiva hacia una nueva psicología cultural postmoderna. This paper describes the origins of discursive psychology, alternative to the hegemony of cognitive psychology paradigm in current psychology. The epistemological framework developed originates in the linguistic turn, continues with the social constructionism and social constructionist psychology and ends with discourse analysis. This framework explains the hallmarks of discursive psychology in relation to other schools and schools of psychology. The psychological concepts and in particular the concept of identity seen from discursive psychology experienced a shift not only in its methodological approach but also in its ontology, acquiring a discursive essence. Finally, an assembly of discursive psychology and postmodern anthropology aims to generate a new concept of cultural identity and to outline the possible development of discursive psychology into a new postmodern cultural psychology.

This work examines how June Jordan's poetry dedicated to solidarity is a pedagogical and epistemological framework in SOLHOTLex and in engaging Black girls around the interconnectedness of the occupation of Palestine and the genocide of Syrians under the Bashar Al Assad regime. It begins to answer the questions of how frameworks like womanism and postcolonial feminist theory inform engagement around solidarity in SOLHOTLex and organizing Black girls while examining what critical engagement and organizing looks like when the voices of Black girls are in symphony with the rest of the world's resistance struggles.

The proliferation of studies declaring that there is a genetic basis to health disparities and behavioral differences across the so-called races has encouraged the opponents of social constructionism to assert a victory for scientific progress over political correctness. I am not concerned in this essay with providing a response to critics who believe races are expressions of innate genetic or biological differences. Instead, I am interested in how genetic research on human differences has divided social constructionists over whether the race concept in science can be used for social justice and redressing embodied forms of discrimination. On one side, there is the position that race is an inherently flawed concept and that its continued use by scientists, medical professionals, and even social activists keeps alive the notion that it has a biological basis. On the other side of this debate are those who maintain a social constructionist position yet argue that not all instances of race in science stem from discriminatory politics or the desire to prove that humans belong to discrete biological units that can then be classified as superior or inferior. I would like to shift this debate away from the question of whether race is real and move instead toward thinking about the intellectual commitments necessary for science to expose past legacies of discrimination.

Undoubtedly is a technological revolution that has certainly focused on the interest of software development companies, companies of IT, hardware design, networks and artificial intelligence. A technological revolution that started a few years ago and has evolved rapidly, thanks to the technological evolution of IT and networks. It is a combination of many communication protocols, sensors and other intelligent technologies, the correlation between smart technologies, networks and services that all together complete processes in order to achieve the result for which they were installed. In advanced technology countries, both simple users and industry use IoT where sensors are simplified and automated at home and in industry, there is continuous monitoring, control and prediction of product failure for the benefit of efficient production of high quality products and control production at each stage of product processing / production. Someone could well think and say that all this is fantastic and that we have solved the problem of organization, easy life without further thoughts and worries since everything is done automatically.An IoT in an intelligent house could literally regulate everything, using sensors and appropriate software could talk with a human person, as well as someone could appropriately entice all that security and literally take full control of the premises of a home with consequences from minimal to catastrophic including the complete destruction of a home.
