The notion of trials and supports, inscribed in the sociology of the individual, allows us to link complex situations of historical and structural character that affect the lives of individuals (trials) with the responses they deploy to face them (supports). Through a qualitative and exploratory study with Chileans and migrants residing in Santiago, Chile, we sought to identify, from the perception of those affected, the main problems produced and/or reinforced by the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020 and 2021. Also, the impact of these problems on their lives and how they responded to them. The results indicate that the pandemic impacted family structure and roles, the conception of work, the modes and mechanisms of interpersonal relationships, and the view of the future. These aspects vary depending on life cycle, gender, national or migrant status, employment status, and intersections between these dimensions. The main supports that emerged are the strength of character, family, and social ties, as well as the development of creativity and individual talents. In the case of the migrant population, the personal migratory project emerges as the primary support.

In May 2018, a feminist tsunami occurred in Chilean universities. Massive and extensive mobilizations arose in response to violence in higher education institutions, promoting a paradigmatic change in the country’s educational and scientific system. We investigated by mixing participation-observer, as a feminist methodological tool, with a documentary review based on publications on this particular topic. Its main results deal with the sociopolitical and turning point plot of feminist struggles in universities and the possibility of building a feminist education that strengthens democratic coexistence. Finally, in the post-pandemic context, it is urgent to consolidate proposals and actions that allow the construction of other forms of relationships in horizontal, collective, and affective scenarios, as opposed to male violence in institutions.

The public agenda, which reflects the main themes and topics of discussion between the government and the public, has shifted toward debating the pandemic’s impact on public opinion and government initiatives without considering the findings reported in the literature as indicators of the phenomenon. The objective of the present work was to establish the networks inferred from the relationships between findings reported in the literature from 2019 to 2022 regarding political and social actors in the field of social risk communication. The results warn of the prevalence of collateral axes to mobility as a restrictive effect of confinement policies and distancing of people. The analysis of health policies is recommended to anticipate conflict scenarios between the parties involved.

Jobs with low wages, low social protection, unstable employment contracts, long hours, and flexible labor are characteristics that we can find in many positions in Chile in recent decades. Municipal labor intermediation is essential since it can reduce the unemployment rate. However, what types of jobs this institution offers still needs to be determined, as their quality and user impact. This article analyzed user perceptions at the Municipal Offices of Labor Intermediation (OMIL). It involved six communes within the Metropolitan Region of urban and rural character (Cerro Navia, Providencia, Independencia, Tiltil, San Pedro y Padre Hurtado) and their relationship with the concept of Decent Work.

The present work consists of a study about the obstacles faced by migrant women in a homeless situation living in Barcelona to change their reality. We designed qualitative research to know the participants’ experiences, in which five individual narratives and one group narrative were co-built. All the work is framed in an intersectional gender perspective since it is essential to understand how the different axes of oppression intertwine with each other and affect the participants. The resulting narratives have accounted for the need to redefine the intervention for migrant homeless women and the challenge this collective has to face when trying to fit into Spanish society. This study pretends to make the participants’ experiences visible and contribute to the generation of more literature about the topic addressed, with a gender perspective.

We propose a reflexive exercise from Social Work to think about the forms that some of the power relations assume in the framework of the most challenging universalized experience of the 21st century, the COVID-19 pandemic. These analyzes are part of collective research processes around the Social Interventions of the State in various fields of action. Social Work, in its double existence as discipline and profession, recognizes the inherent tension between disciplining processes and impulses of transformation (Muñoz Arce, 2020; Danel & Velurtas, 2021). We are interested in developing this analysis linked to the relational notion of power and the modes that resistance assumes by Social Work professionals and subjects with whom it meets and connects in the intervention processes from a set of readings carried out under the supervision of Marcelo Raffin that allow us to delve into certain debates developed in the Foucauldian perspectiveRESUMOPropomos

The main objective of the article was to achieve a contribution to the current discussions on the delimitation of child labour. From a case study in the northeast of Argentina, the following axes of discussion were developed: 1) the main current perspectives of approaching the subject, 2) the delimitation of the problem by the public administration and community references and 3) the repercussions of the practical application of the delimitation of the problem in prevention actions. The study is part of a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive investigation, carried out in the province of Misiones, during the yearse 2020-2022. The main results of the study suggest a characterization of child labour linked to the construction of a typology of family at risk and the need to broaden the perspectives of approach for a better understanding of the studied problem.

The interactional problems derived from emigration involve fundamental linguistic and cultural phenomena that are likely to favor or hinder communication between emigrants and natives. Thus, based on the experience of some Ivorians in Spain, our study aims to settle on empirical data. We seek to point out some socio-linguistic and intercultural phenomena, analyzed following qualitative method, to put in evidence typical cultural shocks and other setbacks that could find a solution through a conscientious education.

The study focuses on investigating the teaching practices implemented in virtuality as a consequence of the health emergency. In particular, the modifications made to planning and to working with written texts are explored. The research framed in a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological approach and considered an individual semi-structured interview with thirteen teachers who teach in primary (5th to 8th) and secondary education courses in public, subsidized and private educational institutions of the regions of Valparaíso, Maule and Araucanía. Three dimensions emerged from the analysis: the results of modifications in the planning of the teaching process and the mediations provided, the facilitators and barriers linked to the process, and the strategies used to promote text comprehension. Thus, the difficulty in achieving key learning, the active participation of teachers and the value of collaborative and interdisciplinary work are highlighted.  

This article proposes Racimo and Le viste la cara a Dios, these brothel fictions works as quotes from our contemporary culture (Cánovas), that shows how the ruthless consumption of the women bodies is a parallel of the increase of neoliberal domination asociated with the masculines mandates (Segato). The sexual work in the recent literature is represented according to new neoliberal explotation conditions, based in the precarizaiton (Lorey), beside different practices which strenghten the extraction of value from women bodies till their exhaustion which results in their disposability (Wrigth) and wasteness (Valenzuela). Brothel becomes new allegories of sexual work, the economy and relations between genders.
