In this article, we will outline the co-design process of the Future Story Chasers storytelling game methodology. Future Story Chasers is a research project aimed at fostering the collective creation of stories based on a common fictional premise. A first experience was carried out in late 2017 in three primary and secondary schools in Barcelona, with approximately 200 participants from three different age groups and diverse social backgrounds. Previously, a co-design process was carried out to establish the grounds for the narrative and game experience, with a twofolded aim: to nurture adaptive storytelling strategies through a broadly defined fictional universe set in a near future; and to stimulate reflection around social issues, meaningful for the participants, through fiction and creativity. We will focus on the design process of the board game that served as the starting point for the experience and the challenges for the overall research methodology.
En este artículo se analiza el papel de la Fuerza Armada en la Revolución Bolivariana y la política de defensa que ha primado en Venezuela desde 1999 hasta 2012. Si por algo se ha caracterizado el proceso revolucionario bolivariano es por encontrase vinculado a la Fuerza Armada Nacional, un cuerpo que ha sufrido toda una transformación durante estos años, al igual que la política de defensa. Y es precisamente en este punto donde se centra esta investigación, fijar y evaluar los cambios que se han producido en ambas esferas para conocer su verdadero impacto en la revolución bolivariana. Para ello se analizarán la Constitución de 1999, la Ley Orgánica de Seguridad de la Nación (2002), la Ley Orgánica de la Fuerza Armada Nacional (2005), la Ley de Orgánica de Consejos Comunales, principalmente, además de la bibliografía existente sobre la materia. La Fuerza Armada se encuentra presente en todos los ámbitos, convirtiéndose, junto al pueblo, en el protagonista del proceso.
The local sphere is the participatory space par excellence. However, there are few academic studies on citizen participation in urban polities, and even less on the quality of participatory mechanisms. This article analyses two participatory processes of urban reorganisation led by the City of Madrid, based on the development of an analytical framework designed to evaluate its quality, with the objective of knowing which initiative enjoys the higher quality, and of proposing a series of recommendations that would contribute to ensuring the successful development of these processes.
