The balance between the right to privacy and the right to freedom of information is altered when scientific research comes into play, because of its inherent needs and societal function. This paper argues that, for research purposes, microdata should be characterised as a public good. The evolution of the rules and practices in the European Union (EU) for protecting confidentiality while allowing access to microdata for research purposes is reviewed. Two key directions are identified for further improvement: remote access to confidential data and the enlargement of the notion of 'European statistics' to include microdata produced for evaluating interventions (co)financed by the EU.

Desde el triunfo de la revolución, el gobierno cubano se han esforzado para despolitizar la sociedad, "achicando" el lenguaje utilizado para hablar de política. La intuición nos viene de la novela de Orwell 1984, en la que la " neolengua " se explica como un proyecto a largo plazo de reducción del lenguaje y de disminución del alcance del pensamiento . El artículo examina una fuente estratégica de la producción del lenguaje , el ámbito académico, y analisa un ejemplo evidente de "reducción": la terminación de la ciencia política como disciplina en Cuba bajo el régimen de Castro. Como sustituto a la ciencia política, lo que encontramos en Cuba son blandas ciencias sociales y humanidades que hablan de política y de administración pública, pero no de poder. Este artículo examina con detenimiento el trabajo del cientista social Rafael Hernández y de la revista Temas (1995- ), de la que es director.Palabras clave: Cuba, intelectuales, universidades, ciencias sociales, dictadura.

L'articolo guarda indietro quattro decenni di carriera da antropologo, iniziati con un orientamento fortemente sbilanciato verso le scienze naturali, per concludersi con un progetto che cerca di integrare l'antropologia con le pratiche artistiche, l'architettura e il design. È stato anche un periodo in cui la scienza è venuta perdendo sempre più il suo orientamento ecologico, mentre le arti lo hanno invece ulteriormente guadagnato. Nel tracciare il mio percorso di insegnamento e ricerca, mostro come sono mutati i punti di riferimento letterari, a partire da alcuni testi fondativi dell'ecologia umana e animale, ora per lo più dimenticati, attraverso tentativi di coniugare il sociale e l'ecologico ispirati al revival marxiano, fino alle scritture contemporanee sul post-umanesimo e la condizione dell'Antropocene. Era questa una scienza fondata sulla tacita meraviglia per la splendida bellezza del mondo naturale e in silenziosa gratitudine per ciò che ad esso dobbiamo per la nostra esistenza. La scienza odierna, tuttavia, ha mercificato la meraviglia e la gratitudine. Esse non guidano più le sue pratiche di ricerca, ma sono piuttosto invocate per pubblicizzarne i risultati. Finalità della scienza sono ormai la modellizzazione, la predizione e il controllo. Non è per questo motivo che ci volgiamo sempre più all'arte per riscoprire l'umiltà che la scienza ha perduto?

This paper analyses relationships that Antarctic glaciologists (including field scientists, modellers, and those working with remote satellite data) have formed with the Antarctic glacial environment. These relationships contribute to understandings about the tactile and experiential nature of scientific expertise, even when the experts claim to know little scientifically. Expert extrapolations about nature in the absence of data hint at the intimacy of field scientists with the environment with which they work, and of modellers with the virtual worlds with which they interact. However, my research on sensory engagement among scientists also makes apparent the ways in which the embodied and sensorial are not primitive, elemental, basic, or instinctual, but bound up in the complexities of nationalism, scientific translations of scale, and boundary skirmishes over what counts as expertise from within scientific disciplines. Expertise is formed in the spaces between intimate encounters in relationship with the weight of cultural learning that teaches experts‐in‐the‐making how to encounter, analyse, compare, and interpret.

(Entre la ciencia ficción y la bitácora de viaje: Tierra de nadie de Albalucía Ángel)Resumen: Este artículo explora la estructura dualde Tierra de nadie,última novela de Albalucía Angel,como tanto una bitácora de viaje como una obra deciencia ficción. El primer hilo tiene que ver con lo que laautora ha llamado mujeres galácticas, un grupo demujeres extraterrestres que descienden a la Tierra yviajan por diversas regiones y circunstancias en buscade desatar la 'bondad', y que corresponde a lascaracterísticas de una narrativa de ciencia ficción. Elsegundo de estos hilos narra las experiencias de unamujer protagonista, claramente colombiana de origen,y narra sus viajes alrededor del globo, experimentandodiferentes culturas, desde la europea a la australiana yla india. Estas experiencias reflejan de modo libre las dela autora en sus viajes en estos países, y por lo tantopodría clasificarse como escritura de viajes. De este modoel texto combina y entrelaza las localidades geográficascon la narrativa, cambiando de viajes galácticos a relatosde viajes cotidianos. La conclusión, donde se unen losdos hilos, se interpreta en términos de la posición teóricade Luce Irigaray sobre el proceso de «convertirse endivinidades mujeres».Palabras clave: Novela, mujeres escritoras, género,ciencia ficción, bitácora de viaje.Abstract: This article explores the dual structure ofTierra de nadie, Albalucía Angel's latest novel, as both atravelogue and a work of science fiction. The first stranddeals with what the author has termed mujeres galácticas,a group of extraterrestrial women who descend to Earthand travel through various regions and circumstancesin their quest to unleash 'bondad', and it corresponds tothe characteristics of a science fiction (SF) narrative.The second of these strands narrates the experiences of afemale protagonist, clearly Colombian in origin, andnarrates her travels around the globe, experiencingdifferent cultures, from European to Australian andIndian cultures. These experiences loosely mirror theauthor's own in her travels around these countries, andcould therefore be classified as travel writing. Thus thetext combines and intertwines geographical locations,with the narrative, switching from galactic journeys toeveryday travel accounts. The conclusion, where the twostrands are united, is interpreted in terms of LuceIrigaray's theoretical position regarding the process of'becoming divine women'.Key words: Novel, women writers, gender, sciencefiction, travelogue.
