    A critical-embodied phenomenology of Mestizo identity: Corporeality in the ecology of Mexican Muralism
    In this article, we consider Mexican Muralism, specifically the works of Diego Rivera, as a prominent manifestation of artistic media ecologies that provide affordances for conversations and interactions which amplify social beliefs and turn subjective judgements into intersubjective reality. We analyse this reality from the perspectives of embodied cognition and critical phenomenology. We use this conceptual apparatus to examine the genesis of mestizo identity in the specific medium of Mexican Muralism. We aim to clarify the particular lived experience of the mestizo subaltern condition and its relation to the origins of mestizo subjectivity. This article argues that Rivera’s murals, understood through a framework of critical phenomenology and media ecology, offer embodied, spatial strategies that disrupt colonized forms of perception and imagination, thereby contributing to a reconfiguration of subjectivity. Moreover, we examine how visible markers of social identity – such as gender, race and class – are mediated by murals and thus inform the personal awareness and experience of inequality.

    The paper aims to provide a broad construct for understanding skills, what they are, and the ways in which they are situated, i.e., dependent on the conditions for their exercise. Adding to Hinchliffe's approach, we made skills’ transferability not only a key aspect of their conceptualization but also a way of exploring their deeply embodied nature and their intricate relation with complex situations. While there is a growing body of research regarding concrete aspects of embodied cognition in learning environments, little attention is given to skilful performances while transferring them into different (mediatized and non-mediatized) learning environments. Our theoretical and empirical investigation offers a preliminary picture of how skills are reconfigured and redeployed in transitioning from one learning environment to another. Regarding the structure of skill, we enlarged Hinchliffe’s approach, integrating the perspective of conversational analysis. The structure of skills can be made explicit if we follow their build-up from simple abilities and their integration into larger structures. According to our view, being skilful means that one can cope with scripted and unscripted interactions and move easily between them Ā©The authors Ā©Meta Ā©Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi.

    Conceptual problems with disembodied cognition in learning environment(s) and the alternative of embodied creativity
    (Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, 2024) ;
    The article is motivated by today’s practical realities and theoretical transformations that have affected education on a major scale. The shift from in-person to online classrooms at the beginning of the pandemic brought forward a series of issues related to embodied conditioning for creative strategies in the learning process. After presenting the shortcomings of the disembodied approach to education, we emphasize the role of the embodied (somatic, motoric, affective) aspects of education and discuss the embodied skills of creativity in a variety of learning environments. While so called embodied creativity became a fast-developing field due to mostly quantitative experiments in teaching-learning environments, it still lacks some conceptual clarification, especially in relation to its genesis in the paradigm of embodied cognition. Hence the main goal of this conceptual article is to extend, through the method of theory adaptation, the existing body of research on embodied cognition in academic environments to show how the embodied teaching and learning paradigm presents embodied creativity methods as an alternative to the disembodied approach to education and how technological environments provide an opportunity for such purposes.

    Imaginative communication and community: the phenomenological-enactive approach to the co-constitution of public phenomena
    An ever-evolving phenomenological-enactive perspective can expand our reflection on the entanglement between enactive subjects and their living ecologies. This article applies certain classical phenomenological projects and their enactive extension to public phenomena (objects, spaces, events, etc.). As an instance of the embodied cognition discourse, this research also aims to thematize the enactive, affective, and intersubjective aspects of the relation to the (urban) Lebenswelt. This may help in understanding both the potential of the phenomenological-enactive methodology and the processes of an embodied intersubjective co-constitution of a public ethos. Theoretical ideas presented in the article are illustrated with reflections on some concrete public phenomena.

    Embodied Cognition and Empathic Experiences in War Communication
    (Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, 2024) ;
    Using the perspective of phenomenological-enactive embodied cognition, this paper examines the role of the body in constituting specific social interactions via specific media ecologies (war imagery) during the times of (refugee) crisis. Such media ecologies give affordances that can amplify social beliefs and turn subjective judgments into an intersubjective action. We consider the human body in relation to war media as playing an important role in sustaining social experiences and relations. To that end, the article explores the fundamental experience of empathy, combining the theoretical perspectives of phenomenology and enactivism with the examples from war imagery and refugee embodiment. It is shown that the classical phenomenological tradition offers different yet useful conceptualisations of empathy. We also argue that war images and/or messages should be viewed as means/tools for, rather than representations of, the enaction of certain important experiences. Hence, the article connects the analysis of the affection by war imagery with the subsequent social interactions in the context of refugee crisis. ©Lithuanian Academy of Sciences

    Es siempre con una gran ilusión con la que le damos la bienvenida a un número mÔs de la Revista Panamericana de Comunicación, ilusión que se potencia con la perspectiva de que esta nueva entrega enmarca los primeros cinco años de operaciones de esta publicación. Toda revista académica se origina como un proyecto que nace de la generosidad y del compromiso con la vida universitaria, ya que busca contribuir a difundir los conocimientos novedosos que las y los colegas van generando en nuestra Ôrea de cono-cimiento. Esa ilusión con la que empezó esta andadura hace ya cinco años tuvo como uno de sus principales protagonistas al queridísimo Dr. José López Yepes, a quien queremos dedicar este número y rendir homenaje, insuficiente y merecidísimo, con esta presentación

    Enactive approach to social interactions in religious media ecologies
    In this article we examine the role of the body in constituting specific social interactions via religious media ecologies from the perspective of the enactive embodied cognition. Religious media ecologies give affordances for conversation and interaction which amplify not only religious but also social beliefs and turn subjective judgements into an intersubjective reality. Hence, despite the traditional emphasis on rational, verbal forms of social interaction, we consider the human body to be something of a cognitive pattern or map, representing important social senses and relations. Thematizing the proximity between embodied cognition and religious media ecologies can bring together philosophy and sociology, while addressing a range of prominent thinkers in an original way.
