    A critical-embodied phenomenology of Mestizo identity: Corporeality in the ecology of Mexican Muralism
    (Intellect, 2025-09-01)
    ;
    <jats:p>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.</jats:p>

    Situating Skills: Emergent Dynamic Reconfigurations of Activities in the Transition from a Learning Environment to Another

    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 ©The authors ©Meta ©Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi.

    The Enaction of Embodied Metaphors in Dante’s Phenomenology of Evil
    (Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, 2025)
    ;
    Recent developments in metaphor theory stress its embodied character. This article brings together these transformational insights and considers them through the lenses of Dante’s approach, which we may call proto-phenomenological, to the phenomenon of evil. Despite the substantial work on different aspects of Dante’s oeuvre, concerning philosophy, theology and poetry, there has been little reflection on his specific phenomenological hermeneutics of the body and its importance for the whole poetic project. The article responds to this neglect with an analysis of the logic of embodied metaphor in relation to a specific, pre-modern context. Hence, the conceptual apparatus of embodied cognition and enactive phenomenology is used here as a method to support the thesis that the language of embodied metaphors grounds a new approach to ontological, epistemological and ethical aspects regarding the phenomenon of evil, which are already apparent in Dante’s work. Therefore, another important outcome of this research is the validation of the primacy of poetry on the grounds of this new (embodied) epistemology. ©The authors © Filosofija.

    Early surveys in Latin America and transnational communication research, 1941–1945 : Cantril's discontinued legacy in the Americas
    (2019)
    ;
    Ortiz Garza, José Luis
    This article examines the history of survey and communication research in Latin America. Aiming to contribute to a more robust transnational history of communication research in the American continent we examine the works of Nelson Rockefeller's OIAA (Office of Inter-American Affairs) and Hadley Cantril in several Latin American countries. We argue that, despite the importance of these early studies, they are not considered in the official history of communication because they failed to leave institutional traces in Latin America and also due to the fact that transnational archival work has only seldom been considered an important source in Latin American history of communication. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

    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. ©Los autores ©Creativity Studies ©Vilnius Gediminas Technical University.

    Imaginative communication and community: the phenomenological-enactive approach to the co-constitution of public phenomena
    (2021-12-05)
    ;
    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.

    Nosotros los vencidos (We the defeated people)
    (Oxford University Press, 2024)
    In 1959, Mexican anthropologist and historian Miguel Leon-Portilla first published The Broken Spears: An Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico, a work featuring several unpublished Aztec sources from the Conquest of the Mexican territory and its aftermath (Leon-Portilla, 1962). Two of the many fascinating things in that book stand out; the first is the first-hand account of how the Mexica experienced the crumbling of the only world they knew. But the second is riveting and intricate and refers to the fact that it took more than 400 years to add the voice of the defeated to the accounts of those historical events.1 Adding to the shock, let's not forget that such 400 years of overlooking the Aztec's version was done precisely by a cultural milieu that, in many ways, prided itself on being their inheritors. Broken Spears’ original title in Spanish is “La vision de los vencidos,” that is, “The vision of the defeated,” and in the face of an event that accomplished the obliteration of a political entity, it is not hard to perceive on which side the defeated stood. ©The author ©Oxford University Press.
