Summary New forms of work, technological change, demographic and epidemiological conditions, poverty and inequality, pose challenges and require social security, keep pace with change, diversify and adapt for the benefit of the whole population. In this context, international solutions have emerged that focus on new ways to complement or strengthen social security systems to react to current and future job transformations, and consider technology as a social product to be controlled through the social agenda, to achieve a just transition, underpinned by solidarity, the principles of social justice, social inclusion and human well-being. Thus, by considering a package of minimum benefits to all people, the social protection floor makes clear the role of the government and the private sector in the provision, financing and regulation of the system. Universal basic income is a response to uncertainty about the number of jobs available in an increasingly digital economy and the idea of democratising wealth, promoting social inclusion and the autonomy of people with fewer resources. Both solutions, with a social dimension, aim to harmonise the adaptation process in a changing world, to tackle the commercialisation of work, the protection of those who are not part of an employment relationship, and to cover the different stages of people's lifecycle. ; Resumen Las nuevas formas de trabajo, el cambio tecnológico, las condiciones demográficas y epidemiológicas, la pobreza y la desigualdad, plantean desafíos y exigen a la seguridad social, seguir el ritmo del cambio, diversificarse y adaptarse en beneficio de toda la población. En este contexto, han aparecido soluciones internacionales que se centran en nuevas formas para complementar o fortalecer los sistemas de seguridad social para reaccionar a las actuales y futuras transformaciones del empleo, y consideran a la tecnología como un producto social a ser controlado mediante la agenda social, para lograr una transición justa, sustentada en la solidaridad, en los ...

This is a study of what it is to write up a piece of research. That is, a study of the power of writing. Postmodernism has had its sway over social psychology as such as over the other social sciences. It has set a query against established forms of scientific writing, and what they imply. Social studies of science and technology have debunked the fiction of scientific method, especially in the allegedly 'hard' sciences. Equally, in the so-called 'soft' sciences, New, experimental forms of ethnography, done by postmodern anthropologists, have doubted the very idea of the ethnographer's authority. Whether qualitative or quantitative, all methods are now in question. This article reviews new literary forms which might offer a way to both challenge the ever-present issues of power, while at the same time keeping true to the social scientist's fundamental aim - to promote society's reflection on itself. To do so, one will have to break fee from such limiting, but unconscious, binaries as the divide between object and subject, reality and fiction, and between form and content. Auto-ethnography, as Creative Analytical Practice presents itself as one such promising literary form.

Using the comparative historical method, the purpose of this article was to detect the new political forms of intercultural dialogue at the time of the classical music festival. The international festival "Music without limits" has not been the subject of scientific research since the moment of its foundation twelve years ago, festival which has an annual presentation at the Dnipropetrovsk academy named after M. Glinka. The authors of this paper have discovered the series of new forms relating to intercultural dialogue in time, one of the most famous classical music festivals in the central region of Ukraine, in particular discrete (separate) form in connection with the celebration of holiday music, denotes a different presentation in time, concerts of general thematic or compositional-artistic features; repertoire-region form of festive movement, which concentrates the predominance of musical compositions of a certain region or country; permanent form of performance in terms of the presentation of masterpieces of the cycle of academic musical art, which is stipulated by the performance at a single concert of all compositions of the musical cycle. It is concluded that music, under certain political conditions, can represent a space for intercultural dialogue.

El objetivo de este trabajo es comprender el aspecto político del neoliberalismo en tanto que no se trata de un mero sistema económico sino de una nueva forma de control y dominación social. A tal fin nos proponemos aproximar una definición de neoliberalismo democrático que de cuenta del poder político estructural que tienen los mercados y los grandes capitales en las democracias actuales, particularmente en su capacidad para influir en la formación de políticas públicas frente al ciudadano común. ; This paper aims at understanding the political aspect of neo-liberalism, that is, to approach it not just as a mere economic system but rather as a new form of control and social domination.

Este artículo parte de la vinculación quese genera entre la urgencia universitaria de mayoresrecursos presupuestarios públicos y el esquema de'anarquía organizada', la cual favorece la emergenciade los múltiples problemas comunes que enfrentan lasorganizaciones de educación superior. Esto auspiciala exploración de los alcances y particularidades delos denominados "nuevos esquemas de gobernaciónuniversitarios", que en diversos países se han desarrollado para la superación de tales ambigüedades.Son varias las razones que certifican la dificultad detransferir modelos de gerencialismo que han nacidoen distintas partes del mundo para potenciar mejoresgobiernos universitarios: hay un complejo de ejercicios políticos, económicos y administrativos particulares; las dificultades inherentes al modelo 'principalagent' en la Universidad; la especial articulación deintereses que se tejen en las autarquías, y los contextostan diferenciados con que las universidades responden a sus sociedades.Sin embargo, es imprescindible discutir y aventurarseen la creación de alternativas que auspicien mejorasen los entes universitarios sobre todo cuando la asfixia presupuestal se transforma en un eterno dilema ; This article is the linkgenerated between the urgency of major universitypublic budgetary and schedule'organized anarchy', which favors the emergenceof the many common problems faced byhigher education organizations. this sponsorexploration of the scope and characteristics ofso-called "new governance schemesuniversity ", which in many countries have been developed to overcome these ambiguities.There are several reasons that certify the difficulty ofmanagerialism transfer models that are bornin different parts of the world to promote bestuniversity governments: there is a complex exercise political, economic and administrative individuals, difficulties inherent in the model 'principalagent' at the University, the joint specialinterests woven in government agencies, and the contextsdifferentiated so that universities respond to their societies.However, it is essential to discuss and venturein creating alternatives to sponsor improvementsin university bodies especially when asphyxia budget becomes an eternal dilemma

Framed in Communitarian Social Psychology, this study examines the Argentine experience of worker takeovers. Such takeovers had their origin in the crisis that the country faced in the late 90s. We analyze what the takeover meant to the workers in terms of their subjective identity. Their collective action presents an alternative to the usual triad of rights: to exist, to work, & to receive support. It displays new forms of agency & resistance to unemployment & its negative social labelling. Focussing on two workers' cooperatives, we examine the main changes in individuals' identity, in their organization among themselves, as they try to survive in the market. Finally, we examine points of contact & difference between these workers' struggles & new social movements in their relation to community & State.

En la última década ha surgido un concepto en el mundo de la comunicación: la convergencia de medios. Un fenómeno que ha tenido un origen tecnológico en el surgimiento de los lenguajes digitales y la digitalización de los medios, que ha transformado por completo el devenir de los medios masivos, de los consumos culturales, de los usuarios y en general de todo el panorama mediático. Sin embargo, la convergencia no es un fenómeno tecnológico como tienden a creer muchas personas, sino más bien un fenómeno cultural, social, simbólico, semiótico, político, económico y antropológico, de base tecnológica. Apenas hemos visto sus primeras manifestaciones, pues es un fenómeno de muy reciente aparición que se configura como un interesante campo de investigación para comunicadores, sociólogos, antropólogos e ingenieros de sistemas y diseñadores de diversas áreas. Entenderlo será necesario ya que contiene las claves del futuro de industrias como la informática, los medios de comunicación y la producción cultural. ; Over the last decade, "media convergence" has emerged as a novel phenomenon in the realm of communication. Initially conceived and/or interpreted as a technological breakthrough, "media convergence" may have had a technological origin in the appearance of digital languages and media digitization, but it has managed to transform the future of mass media, Consumer Culture, users's lives, and, in general, media landscape as a whole. Media convergence is not only technological artifact as the majority tends to believe. Rather, it embodies a cultural, social, symbolic, semiotic, political, economic and anthropological phenomenon anchored on a technological base. We have just begun to perceive its primary manifestations but it certainly configures an interesting field of research for social communicators, journalists, sociologists, anthropologists and systems engineers and designers from different areas. Understanding "media convergence" has thus become a necessity as it may play key roles on the future of industries such as mass media, information technology, and cultural production.
