“…In order to describe alternative forms of coexistence between the most diverse living (and even non-living) beings, Descola uses a concept taken from Bruno Latour's sociology of knowledge, namely the "collective", which for him is always already more than a purely human assembly (Descola 2003: 610). The subordination of animals under human control by domestication is for Descola a manifestation of the socalled "naturalism" (Descola 2005: 302-350), to which he opposes other ontologies like "animism" (Descola 2005: 229-253), as practised in Amazonian indigenous communities 12 where humans and animals like dogs share certain spiritual qualities instead of a common bodily substrate, like in Western naturalism. 13 Ontologies such as animism thus question the hierarchy between human and other forms of animal life that the naturalistic ontology in the Western world traditionally establishes.…”

The main subject of this paper are two recent Latin American films (La mujer de los perros by Laura Citarella and Verónica Llinás, 2015, and Los Reyes by Bettina Perut and Iván Osnovikoff, 2018) that centre on street dogs in marginal urban zones of Buenos Aires and Santiago de Chile. It will be argued that in both films exemplary forms of encounter between humans and dogs outside domestic environments can be examined, exploring the alternative ways of conviviality against the backdrop of the multiple layers of shared history between two companion species. In addition to the detailed analysis of exemplary scenes in both films, the concept of the interspecific “contact scene” (as a variation of the “contact zone”, a concept coined by Mary Louise Pratt) is proposed as a possible tool for the analysis of convivial constellations in Latin America.

La reacción conservadora latinoamericana pretende cambiar y reformar la educación siguiendo preceptos neoliberales y neoconservadores fuertemente apoyados por poderosos grupos sociales. Para los gobiernos conservadores la educación es una de las herramientas más importantes para producir consenso y conformidad social. A través de la transmisión de conocimientos, valores e ideas construyen relaciones específicas de hegemonía y convivencia. Como parte de los objetivos del grupo de investigación temática de Mecila “Los proyectos educativos conservadores y sus configuraciones de convivencia-desigualdad en Argentina y Chile: los gobiernos de Macri y Piñera (2010-2020)”, este working paper examina el proyecto educativo del gobierno de Macri y los vínculos con actores privados, como empresas, fundaciones, y Organizaciones No Gubernamentales (ONGs). A partir de un trabajo empírico, intentamos realizar aportes teóricos para la comprensión de cómo el gobierno de Macri reguló formas de conviavilidad a través de sus políticas educativas y las interacciones cotidianas que estas buscan producir y reproducir en el sistema educativo, en un contexto caracterizado por profundas desigualdades de clase, de género y étnicas.

Unequal and Divided The Middle Classes in Contemporary Brazil

The middle class, or rather middle classes, to do justice to their heterogeneity, have been and continue to be at the centre of the long political and economic crisis that has been ravaging Brazil since 2014. Available interpretations that try to explain the positions taken by different political authors are biased by structural, ideological, or cultural determinism. To escape these determinisms, I draw on Stuart Hall’s political sociology in order to understand the link between the class situation of the middle classes and their constitution as political subjects of various shades as contingent intersectional articulations. The emphasis on contingency obviously does not imply a belief that political developments are fortuitous and detached from social structures. Nor does it ignore the existence of groups with deeply held ideological or cultural convictions who consistently adopt, over long periods of time, political attitudes compatible with these beliefs. However, taken as a whole, the middle classes have shown a very heterogeneous and changing political trajectory over time. They adhere to discourses - both right-wing or more egalitarian ones - and make political choices based on the power of these narratives to capture, in given circumstances, their anxieties, expectations, claims and aspirations.
