Michel Foucault was one of the twentieth century's most influential and provocative thinkers. His work on freedom, subjectivity, and power is now central to thinking across an extraordinarily wide range of disciplines, including philosophy, history, education, psychology, politics, anthropology, sociology, and criminology. ""Michel Foucault: Key Concepts"" explores Foucault's central ideas, such as disciplinary power, biopower, bodies, spirituality, and practices of the self. Each essay focuses on a specific concept, analyzing its meaning and uses across Foucault's work, highlighting its conne

La exclamación "¡Presente!" puede entenderse como un grito de guerra, un acto solidario o testimonial, una manera de estar en el mundo, de pasar lista, una muestra, un despliegue o una declaración de presencia. ¡Presente! anuncia una manera distinta de estar física y políticamente, de asumir un compromiso manifiesto con los demás, y es también un conocimiento situado que nos lleva más allá de las formas disciplinarias y restrictivas de conocer de nuestras tradiciones eurocéntricas. Se busca proponer prácticas epistémicas alternativas, fuera del ámbito académico: en el arte, en el performace y en otras maneras de construir el mundo. ¡Presente! concibe el conocimiento no como algo que se cosecha y se comercializa, sino como una manera comprometida de saber, un proceso de estar con, de caminar y hablar con los demás, con todos los problemas, complicaciones y contradicciones que eso conlleva. ¿Puede una política de la presencia ayudarnos a reimaginar nuestras prácticas disciplinarias, de participar colectivamente en la descolonización de la producción de conocimiento? Este trabajo nos invita a pensar juntos.Palabras clave: performance, animativo, Francis Alÿs, Ayotzinapa, Tlatelolco, Popol Vuh, México. Abstract¡Presente! The Politics of Presence¡Presente! can be understood as a war cry, an act of solidarity and/or witnessing, a way of being in the world, compliance to roll call, a showing, display, or declaration of presence. ¡Presente! announces a different way of being present, physically and politically, an act of embodied form of engagement with others and "situated knowledge" (Haroway) that takes us beyond the disciplined and restrictive ways of knowing that our Eurocentric traditions offer us. In this talk, I join fellow travelers fleeing from disciplines, the academy, to search for alternative epistemic practices elsewhere—in art, performance, and other forms of world-making. ¡Presente! envisions knowledge not as something to be harvested and commercialized but, rather, as an engaged knowing, as a process of being with, walking and talking with others with all the pitfalls, complications and contradictions that entails. Can presence help us re-imagine our disciplinary practices so that we collectively participate in the decolonialization of knowledge production? The talk invites us to think together.Keywords: performance, animativo, Francis Alÿs, Ayotzinapa, 43, Tlatelolco, Popol Vuh, Mexico

In this report, a variety of suggestions about child support will be presented. These suggestions are either issues which were not considered in the new legislation or they are problems which could result from the new legislation if the implementation procedures are not properly monitored. The first chapter examines the nature of child support and how it relates to the CSA, and examines this from both societal and individual perspectives. In this section, the following recommendations were made: • Societal misconceptions, including a cultural bias against non-resident parents should be studied, understood, and considered in making child support arrangements. • The best interests of the child should be considered on an individual basis and it should be recognized that the parents' interests influence the children's interests. • The role of emotions should be considered in child support arrangements and those employees of the system who would have personal contact with clients should be trained in this area in order to better help their customers. • An improved way to deal with allegations of child abuse and domestic violence should be implemented so that the federal system is uniform and properly-organized. This may even take the form of a new agency. In the second chapter of this report, the structure of the Child Support Agency and its impact on child support negotiations is argued. It is concluded that: • The structure of the CSA should continue to be examined to make sure that the system is accessible, consistent, and efficient. • A system by which the CSA can be monitored should be investigated in order to ensure that they are working most effectively. The third chapter discusses the Family Courts and Family Relationship Centres and suggests: • Relationship mediation should be examined and training of employees should be strictly implemented in order to ensure that it is properly utilized as an aspect of the child support system. • Research should be performed on the Family Court and in due time the Family Relationship Centres in order to make them as efficient as possible. Chapter four discusses how to enforce custodial and economic child care arrangements and finds: • A system of enforcement needs to be established so that child care agreements, both custodial and economic, are followed by all parties involved. The final chapter of this report looks at problems which may arise from the implementation of the newly passed legislation. The recommendations made were: • The goals of the legislation need to be clearly put forth to all agencies involved as well as to the public in order to ensure an efficient implementation of these laws. • All agencies which would be involved in the child support agency must be organized and a clear all-inclusive system needs to be established so that agencies can work together. • The legislation needs to be properly monitored in order to ensure it is being effective.
