La música como lugar de un tiempo psicológico constituido por la técnica
(2024) Carvallo Pinto, Antonio Alejandro
La propuesta de Gilles Deleuze para la música de Hacer audibles fuerzas que en sí mismas no lo son, encuentra como fuerza privilegiada al tiempo mismo; un tiempo ya definido por Bergson cómo heterogeneidad y que se dispone no sólo para nuestra conciencia, sino también para nuestros sentidos. Es así como, en cuanto la música se despliega para la sensibilidad en el tiempo de la conciencia, la experiencia musical se alza como territorio privilegiado para conocer cómo se produce la configuración del tiempo psicológico. Intentando develar los aspectos de la música que modelan el tiempo de la conciencia se abordará la relación establecida por Heidegger entre tiempo y técnica, dos modos de sacar de lo oculto.

Management and flare-ups: How conceptual metaphors shape fibromyalgia narratives in digital communities
(2026) Allende Zabala, Antonio; Nuñez Torres, Fredy Rodrigo; Pascual, Mariana; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de Letras
This study evaluates the conceptual representations implied by the conceptual metaphors usedwhen individuals refer to pain in an online support group for fibromyalgia. Grounded inConceptual Metaphor Theory and informed by a discourse-analytic approach to healthcommunication, this research elucidates the most prevalent conceptual representations aroundpain-talk in the Reddit community r/fibromyalgia. A corpus comprised of 182,819 tokens wascompiled from publicly available posts and comments. The corpus was uploaded to Sketch Engineand a concordance search that targeted the most frequent pain related terms in the corpus wasconducted, after which random samples of 100 instances per term were extracted. Potentialmetaphor-related words were identified using an adapted version of the Metaphor IdentificationProcedure Vrije Universiteit (MIPVU) and an inductive coding protocol was used to determineand establish the most prevalent conceptual metaphors found in the corpus. Findings show that theusers relied on conceptual metaphors to articulate experiences of pain, cognitive disruption, anddisease management. Some conceptual metaphors, such as PAIN IS FIRE, FIBROMYALGIA IS ANEXTERNAL AGENT and PAIN IS AN ENTITY THAT CAN BE MANAGED revealed perceived loss of agencyby patients of fibromyalgia, highlight the complexities of expressing pain, and help describeabstract symptoms of the disease. The study concluded that the conceptual representations putforward by the conceptual metaphors found in the corpus construe the disease and its symptomsas complex and rapidly changing experiences. Overall, the use of metaphorical expressions provedto be a tool for understanding that facilitates empathy and patient empowerment.

Diversified human dietary strategies and settlement patterns in the core of the Atacama Desert during the late Pleistocene-Holocene transition (~12.8 – 11.2 ka)
(2026) Labarca Encina, Rafael Osvaldo
Hunter-gatherers that spread after the Last Glacial Maximum, developed a wide range of strategies to cope with environments subject to major socio-ecological transformations. The Pampa del Tamarugal (PdT), in the hy-perarid core of the Atacama Desert, was tied to episodic regional positive hydroclimate anomalies (Central Andean Pluvial Events, CAPE), which enhanced bioproductivity and marked diversity of resources that trans-formed the basin into an ecological refuge, well suited for hunting small and medium-sized fauna, gathering plants and firewood, and procuring types of lithic raw materials for tool production. Two distinct settlement systems were developed along Quebrada Maní wetlands and Pampa Ramaditas floodplains in the PdT basin, where excavations have yielded well-dated zooarchaeological and archaeological assemblages. Quebrada Maní (ca. 12.8–11.2 ka) functioned a seasonal residential camp under the protection and fertility of wetland andwoodland. There, people captured, processed, and consumed a wide range of small and middle size fauna including rodents, birds, and guanacos. In contrast, at the slightly younger (ca. 12.4–11.3 ka) Pampa Ramaditas open riverine landscapes, people stablished short-term non-residential camps, consuming small game. We conclude that Pampa del Tamarugal played a key role in the early history of human dispersal and settlement in South America.

Excesses, Resisting Interpretation, and the Negative in Three Latin American Imaginaries
(Taylor and Francis, 2024) Santo D.E.
© The Author(s).This article will explore three ethnographies—of Brazilian Umbanda, Cuban espiritismo, and Chilean ufology—whose cosmoses are variably self-referential, paradoxical, and absurd. I follow their anti-logics and argue that they exhibit, firstly, an excess, and secondly, a resistance to interpretation. Taking my concept of excess from Marisol de la Cadena, and of resisting interpretation from Susan Sontag, I argue that a radical version of resisting interpretation must go beyond experience and describe ontological evacuation itself—a ‘nothingness’ that holds all possibilities simultaneously; or an excess that contradicts either-or logics. I suggest we look at both the horror narrative and apophatic mysticism, which resist thought itself, as well as language, for a heuristic that is able to deal with ethnographies that defy logics of meaning or common sense.
