Evaluación cualitativa del sistema de recogida de sangre en Cataluña

La donacion de sangre es indispensable para el mantenimiento de una prestacion sanitaria de calidad. El estancamiento del numero de donaciones en Cataluna hizo pertinente poner en marcha una evaluacion externa del sistema de recogida de sangre que pudiera orientar las politicas futuras. Se diseno una evaluacion del sistema de hemocaptacion en Cataluna adoptando una metodologia cualitativa, que incluyo el uso de una variedad de tecnicas como la observacion participante, las entrevistas individuales, las entrevistas grupales y las tecnicas documentales. El trabajo de campo se llevo a cabo en la totalidad de los sectores hemopaticos de Cataluna del 23 de noviembre al 4 de diciembre de 1998. El analisis de la informacion siguio parcialmente las prescripciones de la Grounded Theory y de algunas modalidades de analisis de contenido tematico usando la herramienta informatica para el analisis cualitativo de datos textuales Atlas/ti. Los resultados muestran las caracteristicas basicas y las carencias del proceso de hemocaptacion, describen los puntos fuertes y debiles del proceso de hemocaptacion y de su organizacion, detallan los argumentos sobre la donacion de sangre que utilizan los agentes implicados en el proceso, y dan cuenta de las caracteristicas atribuidas a los donantes.

Los locutorios como espacios de integración

La acelerada y masiva implementacion de las TIC en las sociedades contemporaneas pone de manifiesto el papel cada vez mas relevante que estas estan tomando, no solo como medio de acceso a la informacion, sino especialmente como forma de integracion y participacion ciudadana en un mundo de caracter glocal. De ahi que los espacios de acceso publico a las TIC (cibercafes, bibliotecas, telecentros o locutorios) aparezcan como enclaves esenciales en los que indagar el impacto social que producen las nuevas tecnologias en sujetos y colectivos, asi como para analizar las apropiaciones que sus usuarios/as hacen de las TIC, especialmente aquellas dirigidas a generar y consolidar redes sociales. En este articulo, tras revisar la literatura cientifico-social de los principales lugares de acceso publico a TIC, nos acercaremos concretamente a los espacios denominados locutorios, tratando sus caracteristicas y las formas especificas de vinculacion y relacion que sus usuarios/as mas frecuentes, la poblacion migrante, establece en ellos. De esta forma, el locutorio es tratado como un lugar-metafora de los procesos migratorios en un mundo globalizado. En la discusion defenderemos el concepto de estacion de asociaciones como util antropologico para caracterizarlos.

¿Bajo las riendas del teléfono móvil? Control social, normalización y resistencia

Mobile phones are an inclusive technology immersed in social network, whose associated practices participate forming the common subject. Nowadays, they are part of social control, normalization and resistance. these mechanisms have not been studied enough, and explaining them is the aim of this paper. Using concepts like power, tactics, strategies, and performativity, we will explain social control and then account for our aim. For gathering data, discussion groups were used and the analytical approach was thick description. Results indicate that mobile phones act as mediators, in a Bruno latour sense. It means that in contacting someone those devices allow to happen, or not, different things, for instance, they modify their original intended functions by redefining relationships, and, in turn, favoring normalization, social control, and resistance. these processes produce a mutual reaction: the operation of power feeds resistance, and vice versa.Mobile phones are an inclusive technology immersed in social network, whose associated practices participate forming the common subject.

George Herbert Mead y la psicología social de los objetos

From several social sciences disciplines, for more than ten years, we are claiming about the necessity of a material semiology. Reality is eminently symbolic, but that feature is not only exclusive of textual and discursive realms. It has to do with objects and things, as well. How can we interpret objects and things? How can we manage those? What is actually their meaning? What is the relationship that links that meaning with the social? The answers will come along from the material culture proposals. But the elaboration of this one demands the revision of the G.H.Meads proposals. Four topics from George Herbert Meads broad and varied treatment of the physical object have been selected for examination: the function of objects in the definition of the bodily self and its environment; the phenomena of resistance and interiorization in the selfs contact with physical objects; the selfs identification with the world of physical object and the perceptual and manipulatory phases of the act. This paper reviews all these questions. And we will conclude that they constitute the first steps to outline a Social Psychology of the objects.Hace mas de una decada que diversas disciplinas de las ciencias sociales vindican la necesidad de una semiologia de lo material. Sin duda, la realidad social es eminentemente simbolica, pero tal simbolismo no se cine exclusivamente a lo textual, discursivo o linguistico. Existen practicas mas alla de esta dimension que producen sentido y significado. Los objetos y las cosas estan implicados en ellas. ?Que elementos definen semejante semiologia? ?Como hay que interpretar esas practicas? ?Como se relacionan con la produccion de lo social? Las respuestas vienen de la mano de la formulacion de una cultura material. Mas la elaboracion de esta exige la revision de las propuestas que al respecto realizo G.H.Mead. Efectivamente, en su obra es posible encontrar una explicacion para el papel que los objetos juegan en la constitucion y mantenimiento de identidades sociales, entender como confieren al self un ambiente estable y familiar, examinar como los actos de tocar y comprender, en tanto que relacion basica con lo material, detentan un papel clave en la construccion y mantenimiento de la realidad, y, en definitiva, observar como la relacion del self con el mundo fisico se configura como relacion social. En el presente trabajo revisaremos todas estas cuestiones. Y concluiremos que constituyen los primeros pasos para esbozar una Psicologia Social de los objetos
