Definitions are narratives in action, implying a need to track down the ontology of what is defined. Inthis case, we explore the mutual tension and/or symbiosis (with consonant and dissonant spaces)arising from the definition of depression. We approach the term 'depression' as a controversialsubject, mapping a comparison between lay and expert narratives on the malaise, and makinguse of digital ethnography as the methodology. A self-administered online open questionnaire wascompleted with the definitions of 29 lay respondents. In addition, expert narratives were gatheredwith the definitions of 9 health institutions' web sites, and public mediation forums. Definitionsechoed from both spaces, with splits between biological materiality and psychological-socialimmateriality, with a reiteration of the division between exogeneity and endogeneity, respectively.Here, the emotiveness of the subject can be seen as stemming from the sum of reductionismsand cumulative factors as to what depression is. Finally, we consider other possible ontologiesof depression that either: (1) take socio-material assemblies into account or (2) follow thepragmatical turn, defining depression in action. This research opens new approaches towardsidentifying external materialities, shifting the blame from the diagnosis of the individual towardsthe mechanisms that spawn harmful relationships.

Las definiciones son narrativas en acción que buscan ejercer un movimiento de cierre con respecto a la ontología de lo definido. En este caso exploramos definiciones en tensión y/o simbiosis mutua, que muestran espacios consonantes o disonantes, con respecto a qué es la depresión. El propio término es cartografiado en su controversia mediante una comparativa entre definiciones legas y expertas haciendo uso de la etnografía digital como metodología. Un cuestionario abierto autoadministrado en línea recoge las definiciones legas de depresión por parte de 29 participantes. Por otro lado, las narrativas expertas quedan recogidas a partir de las definiciones inscritas en las páginas web de 9 instituciones especializadas en salud, entendidas como espacios de mediación hacia el público general. Las definiciones resuenan desde ambos espacios como escisiones entre lo biológico y lo psicológico-social, reiterando una división entre la exogeneidad y endogeneidad de la depresión. Una emocionalidad que es caracterizada a partir de un sumatorio de reduccionismos, factores acumulativos en una ecuación de lo que es depresión. Las soluciones ofrecidas, la depresión como transformación en acción, sitúan al dispositivo de salud mental como punto de paso obligado para sanar los cuerpos ya enfermos. Sin embargo, la narrativa lega ofrece formas de cuidado en común apoyadas en la comunicación más democratizadoras. Finalmente concluimos planteando otras posibles ontologías de la depresión que tengan en cuenta los ensamblajes entre lo material y lo social, ontologías que sigan el giro pragmático y planteen la depresión en acción.

"United Nations has declared 2011 the International Year of Chemistry, to celebrate the achievements of chemistry and its contributions to the well-being of humankind. In this book, prominent scientists highlight the major advances in the fight against the largest problems faced by humanity from the point of view of chemistry, showing how science is essential to ensuring our long-term survival. Following the UN Millennium Development Goals, the authors examine the nine most critical areas, including energy, climate, food, water, poverty, education and health. All of them are opinion leaders in their fields, or high-ranking decision makers in national and international institutions. This book provides an intellectual basis for the future development of chemistry, it is aimed at a wide readership including students, professionals, engineers, scientists, environmentalists and anyone interested in a more sustainable future"--P.
