Convocatoria para el envío de artículos: Emocionalización de la educación. Discursos, políticas y prácticas

Marta Venceslao Pueyo, Universitat de Barcelona (mvenceslao@ub.edu).

2. Descripción:
Desde finales del siglo pasado, pero con más fuerza a partir de las últimas dos décadas, el lenguaje de las
emociones ha ido ganando terreno dentro del campo educativo. Podemos hablar, en este sentido, de una
progresiva emocionalización de la educación, que privilegia el registro emocional por encima de otros, y
que traslada el sentido de la tarea docente cada vez más hacia el acompañamiento y cuidado de las emociones de sus estudiantes, e incluso hacia la prevención, el diagnóstico y la intervención terapéutica sobre problemáticas interpretadas en términos emocionales. Aun siendo transversal, este fenómeno adopta un sentido y un rostro particular en contextos con población empobrecida y vulnerabilizada.
Este proceso de emocionalización, asociado también a la expansión de un ethos terapéutico, puede pensarse en relación a la reestructuración de las relaciones sociales, como una nueva retórica del capitalismo neoliberal financiarizado. Lo emocional se erige, en este marco, como principio moral y explicativo que da legitimidad al pensamiento y la acción, en un proceso que avanza hacia la hiperindividualización y despolitización de la experiencia social.
La educación emocional se ha erigido como uno de los principales impulsores de la pedagogización de las
emociones en la escuela. No obstante, la preeminencia de este discurso puede rastrearse en múltiples políticas y prácticas educativas, incluso dentro del arco de la investigación e intervención reconocido como “crítico”.
Así, será necesario revisar los vasos comunicantes de la emocionalización con otros discursos: la coeducación, los feminismos, las pedagogías del cuidado, el paradigma de los derechos, entre otros. ¿De qué manera estos discursos posicionados explícitamente contra el neoliberalismo no estarían también atravesados por este proceso de emocionalización de los sentidos de lo educativo? ¿Cuáles son las formas que toman estas articulaciones y cómo operan en relación con el avance de la lógica neoliberal en el campo educativo?
Proponemos, en este monográfico, un espacio para reflexionar críticamente sobre este proceso, indagando
sobre los discursos y prácticas a través de las cuales se materializa, y prestando especial atención a los
entrecruzamientos del lenguaje emocionalizado con otras lógicas instituidas en la escuela y en el campo de la investigación educativa.

MONOGRÁFICO N.º 21: AGENDA SUPRANACIONAL Y CURRÍCULOS NACIONALES: IMPLICACIONES EN LOS PAÍSES DE LENGUA PORTUGUESA

En un mundo globalizado, los contextos nacionales están cada vez más influenciados por la agenda supranacional, ya sea en el ámbito económico, cultural, político o social. La educación forma parte de este conjunto de segmentos esenciales a los que se les ha atribuido el papel de formar individuos basados en una “cultura global común”, sustentada en valores universales de solidaridad y paz, y, sobre todo, en el desarrollo de habilidades para una sociedad de la información y del conocimiento, cuya cultura de resultados es constantemente evaluada mediante indicadores de eficacia y medidas de desempeño.

La regulación supranacional se manifiesta de diferentes maneras, en diferentes momentos históricos y según las relaciones de fuerzas que se establecen en el campo político y económico, a veces de manera más imperativa, condicionada a préstamos financieros, otras como una política blanda, a través de documentos rectores, que expresan un poder implícito (Valle, 2015). Si bien, en general, los lineamientos de los organismos internacionales apuntan a la autonomía de los países y a la descentralización de las acciones hacia los niveles locales, dos elementos han estado marcados por determinaciones más rígidas y centralizadoras, a saber: la estandarización de los currículos y la evaluación a gran escala.

Este monográfico tiene como objetivo reunir textos que analicen las implicaciones de la agenda supranacional para el currículum de los países de lengua portuguesa. La Comunidad de Países de Lengua Portuguesa (CPLP) está formada por nueve países, ubicados en cuatro continentes. En el continente africano se ubican: Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea Ecuatorial, Mozambique y Santo Tomé y Príncipe, en el continente europeo Portugal es el único país de lengua portuguesa, al igual que Brasil en Sudamérica y Timor-Este, en Asia.

Cabe señalar que, con excepción de Portugal, la mayoría de los países de la lusofonia se caracterizan por ser emergentes o subdesarrollados, ubicados geográficamente en el hemisferio sur, muchos de ellos con gran dependencia del financiamiento externo para el desarrollo de políticas sociales, especialmente en el campo de la educación. Esperamos que las cuestiones que plantea el tema aquí propuesto susciten promover efusivos debates.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Issue 58 / The study of International Relations from queer and trans-feminist perspectives

Publication: February 2025

Cynthia Weber wrote a book in 1999 called Faking It: U.S. Hegemony in a “Post-Phallic” Era, within which humour and different queer, psychoanalytic and poststructural theories were used to study the foreign policy of the United States in the Caribbean region. That book was a watershed moment for reimagining International Relations (IR) from the study of sex, sexualities and genders. Its impact was such that its opening words became a reference to understand how creative and fun the study of the international could be from queer/cuir and trans/feminist perspectives: “This is the United States as I see it today —a white headless body of indecipherable sex and gender cloaked in the flag and daggered with a queer dildo harnessed to its midsection” (Weber 1999, 1). With the passing of time and despite attempts to dismiss them, queer/cuir and trans/feminist perspectives became a constant in the discipline of IR and started the development of ideas that were translated into national and international (public) policies. This special issue of Relaciones Internacionales takes as its objective the reimagining of what are and what could be queer/cuir and trans/feminist perspectives in Spanish, and explore what are and what could be its contributions to the study and practice of international relations. Thus, in this special issue we shall deliberately avoid giving a reduced definition of what queer/cuir and trans/feminist perspectives could be to open the way to a multiplicity of voices, interpretations, translations and methodologies that have been constructed or which can be constructed under these terms.

As in the case of Faking It, some of the contributions of queer/cuir and trans/feminist studies is their capacity to surprise us, to amuse or depress us upon revealing the amount of capitalist, cis-heterosexist, colonial and imperial power that is used to maintain the socio-economic structures of IR, and which we are usually taught in other schools of thought to be unquestionable, inevitable and universal. More still, the queer/cuir and trans-feminist analyses commonly go beyond the criticism of the normative to show places, objects, subjects, topics of study and unexpected temporalities that widen the notions of what is, or what could be, the international. This disruption of the normative not only refers to how the sexes, sexualities, gender identities and gender expressions create international politics, but also the understandings of the central topics of IR per se. These topics include questions like what is the State (whether it is cis-hetero-patriarchal, or friendly to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, travesti, transgender, intersexual, asexual and non-binary rights, LGBTTTIANB+), and what are their logics of action (contradictory, rational or plural with respect to these topics); how global political economies function (that usually discriminate and exclude people on the LGBTTTIANB+ spectrum, which sometimes they use to extract or exploit such populations, and that occasionally are used or constructed in dissident and more equitable ways); or where and how wars and armed conflicts start or end (where actors on the LGBTTTIANB+ spectrum participate in different roles).

How might authors surprise us in this special issue? What could we learn about the international and its relations? How might the ways in which we act, study and teach international relations change after reading the articles in this special issue? Some of the themes that contributions of this special issue could tackle are: 

• Affects and international politics. International politics produces and is the result of affects of love, hate, disgust, pain, excitement and pleasure, which is what some queer/cuir and trans/feminist studies teach us. In this line of research, it is explored how affects mediate decision-making in international politics with contradictory, homophobic, irrational, racist, biased, sexist or transphobic results in topics like the support for international development, humanitarian aid, military intervention or processes of truth and justice. When carrying out analysis through these lenses, it is possible to understand the relations between affects and the culture that is produced or result from them, the heterogeneous distribution of the affects towards non normative bodies, the relationship between intangible affects and materialist ones, and the power of affects to form or transform international institutions.
• Alternatives to homophobic and transphobic international structures. Given the prevalence of homophobia and transphobia in the daily lives of people with sexualities and gender identities outside of the cis-hetero-norm, it is often difficult to imagine realities where the conditions of life are less violent and fairer, where love is possible and not only hate. It is facing this complication that some of the internationalists study life alternatives constructed from, with and for communities with sexualities and gender identities that cannot be read within the spectrum of heterosexuality and of cisgenderism. They have shown how mutual aid networks, care webs among friends, community economies, diverse support families, radical interdependence and transnational solidarity are generated in a way that disrupt humanitarian aid and support frameworks, capitalism, charity, dependence on the State or the market, the interdependence among sovereign entities, the cis-hetero-patriarchal white family or militarized or martial responses.
• Im/possible inclusion/exclusion. A school of queer/cuir and trans/feminist studies has been dedicated to ask empirical and methodological questions on the impossibility and possibility of excluding or including populations that live outside the cis-hetero-norm. Despite efforts to exclude these populations from formal or informal institutional arrangements, studies have revealed, nonetheless, the queer/cuir or trans/feminist character of the institutions or the populations that want to exclude them. It has also been explored how attempts to include non-heterosexual or non-cisgender people to institutional arrangements without changing the (cis-hetero-sexist, white, colonial or imperial) conditions that generated the exclusion in the first place produce regimes of violence and exclusion. In both cases, the potential for creating and studying global markets, international institutions, and regimes of (in)security that maintain uncertainty and tension between inclusion and exclusion and between possibility and impossibility are shown.
• Global South sexualities and gender identities. Queer/cuir and trans/feminist studies have also shown how in many parts of the world different international actors have used ideas of sodomy or binary understandings of the experiences of people (men/women) as weapons of conquest, exploitation, genocide and appropriation of land. Therefore, they study the plurality of what today we would call sexualities and gender identities that are present in the experiences of populations that participate in the construction and transformation of international institutions, negotiations, policies and systems. These experiences are usually hidden by the Eurocentric academy, which considers that no theory of international reach can emerge from the Global South. While, on many occasions, queer/cuir and trans/feminist perspectives concentrate on how these experiences allow us to think of less violent horizons of meaning, some of these studies choose to represent contexts that do not assume innocence nor peace. These last studies show how it is possible that in the Global South social and political identities are formed which are as violent as their white colonial and imperial counterparts, which are more violent or which exist in liminal spaces of both more and less violence. Another important line of analysis has been the study of the onto-epistemological difference between the representations and the experiences of populations with sexualities and gender identities outside the cis-hetero-norm. This is relevant because such tension has political implications once these populations enter into an internationalist discourse or participate in different international institutions.
• State and international market responses to sexualities and gender identities outside the cis-hetero-norm. With this, we refer to the diverse responses that states and the international markets have made to understand, govern, or value the sexualities and gender identities that cannot be read within the heterosexual and cisgender spectrum. In some cases, these responses were openly homophobic and transphobic, creating laws, markets and social practices of discrimination, persecution, torture and political assassination. In the past decades, more and more cases of tolerance, acceptance, or celebration of these sexualities and gender identities have been seen. The coexistence of both types of response has generated contradictory decisions, tactics and policies at the local, national and international levels on the governance and the de/regulation of the new and existing markets which tend to attend to, benefit from and establish rules for the lives of people with sexualities and gender identities outside of the cis-hetero-norm. At the same time, strategic and unexpected uses of the state and global market responses have been generated, which had served to guarantee the life, security or pleasure of these people. 
• Gender and sexual identities in transnational mobility. The research on migration, diasporas and transnationalism harshly criticizes the closed and static categories of nation, ethnicity, community, place and state which are abundant in the social sciences. In this sense, some studies maintain that queer migrants constitute in many ways “impossible subjects,” with non-representable histories that exceed existing categories. As a result, researchers question the regimes of power and knowledge that generate structures of impossibility in relation to certain political identities, as well as examine how people negotiate political and subjective im/possibilities in a creative way. Other research on queer migrations evidences how the dominion of sexuality and gender of migratory flows is going to contribute to or undo normative definitions of the nation, national citizenship and family. Both in the studies on queer and trans migration and in LGBT activism, what is at stake is the mandate of challenging and transforming power relations that operate through migratory regimes to generate multiple-scale inequalities of life and death. From this theme, we encourage a continuation of exploring queer epistemologies and policies on the area of migration, as well as propel studies on the somewhat neglected dimension of the migratory flows of trans-people. 

The issue will include an introduction by the editors. At least four types of contributions are expected. One is research articles. Another possibility is book reviews, and essays based on book reviews called Diálogos. In addition, this special issue will contain two types of content that will comprise a special section called Ventana social. This section will have its own introduction. One of these possibilities is creative interventions like story-telling, sculptures, photographs, illustrations, narratives, theatre plays, and poems, among other things, which will enable the engendering of other queer/cuir and trans/feminist views on International Relations. One final option is the communal register of dialogues and transnational political activities with queer/cuir and transfeminist collectives, organisations and activists.

Issue 58 of Relaciones Internacionales will be published in February 2025. The Editorial Team of the journal and the Coordination of the issue have established the following time-frames:

DUE DATE

SUBMISSION OF ARTICLES

The full text of the article should be sent by the authors to the coordinators up until 31st August, 2024. The article must be adjusted rigorously to the Style Manual of the journal. You can obtain our template for authors by clicking here (in Spanish).

https://revistas.uam.es/relacionesinternacionales

EVALUATION process

Once the article is submitted correctly through the website the double-blind evaluation process begins. The decision process will take between three and six months, depending on the case: this may include the return of the text to its author(s) for the revision or correction of changes and suggestions made by the anonymous reviewers. During the evaluation process, the reviewers will be responsible for certifying the quality of the work of the authors, as well as the appropriateness of the final texts for the topics proposed in the call for papers.

• PLEASE NOTE: suggestions by the authors of possible reviewers for the evaluation of their texts are permitted. With the text of your proposal, you can send us by email the names of academics with extensive knowledge of the aspects dealt with in your work so that- if the coordination considers it appropriate- these people can be contacted as blind reviewers.

DEFINITIVE ACCEPTANCE

Throughout the evaluation process (between September, 2024 - December, 2024), those authors whose text receives the complete approval of the assigned reviewers will be notified of the definitive acceptance of their article, at which time they can have the absolute certainty that the paper will be published in the journal. That the article is published in Issue 58 as planned – and not in a later issue – is subject to the complete conformity of the text to the instructions indicated in the Style Manual of the journal, or other contingencies that will be duly communicated to the authors.

EDITING process

During the month of January, 2025, the journal will proceed to the definitive editing of the text before its publication in February. It is emphasized again to the authors that it is obligatory to fulfil scrupulously the Style Manual of the journal in order to avoid delays that could hold back the publication of the text to a later issue.

PUBLICATION OF THE VOLUME

Throughout the month of February, 2025, Issue 58 of the journal Relaciones Internacionales, which has the title “The study of International Relations from queer and trans-feminist perspectives”, will be published digitally, online, open-access and free. All of the articles that have satisfactorily fulfilled the requirements of the stages indicated above will be included.

Proposals in Spanish, English, and Portuguese will be accepted. Nonetheless, the articles will be translated to Spanish for publication in the journal. It will be the authors themselves who send the translated articles in Spanish.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Issue 57 / Is there an Indo-Pacific space? Reflections from International Relations

Publication: October 2024

The academic journal Relaciones Internacionales is pleased to announce a call for Issue 57, dedicated to reflection on the space of the ‘Indo-Pacific’ and from theories of International Relations. The objective of the issue is to go beyond the traditional geopolitical debate and showcase the diversity of theoretical positions, especially from critical perspectives, which reflect on how (or not) the Indo-Pacific has been defined as a unique regional space, whose normative, institutional, discursive, ideological and identity dynamics are framing the relations between states and societies which conform to that space.

The Indo-Pacific region spans the Asia-Pacific to the Middle East and Africa, across the Indian Ocean. It is a space of enormous dynamism and profound changes, including in the area of international relations, which is attracting more and more academic and political attention. Frequently, the prevailing analyses on the region, particularly from conventional perspectives, have focussed on the existing geopolitical and economic dynamics of this space. That is, those which encompass the agendas of and relations between some of the greatest powers situated in the region.

Nonetheless, many other dynamics have remained hidden. These dynamics traverse and form the Indo-Pacific in an interconnected and situated way, along with its political, institutional, normative, cultural, identity, gender or environmental dimensions. As well as being partial and distorted, these analyses run the risk of perpetuating the orientalist vision of this geographical space, together with the dynamics and societies which shape it. In effect, they end up inscribing it as a homogenous, static and peripheral space, or with little capacity for agency at the global level. In this issue of the journal, on the contrary, the aim is to listen to and make visible those studies and voices that help us to critically understand the complexity of the phenomena, processes, dynamics and actors that shape the Indo-Pacific.

Therefore, we invite contributions both from within International Relations- especially from critical perspectives- and also from adjacent disciplines that are rethinking the best theoretical, analytical and normative tools to analyse this regional space. In addition, we are also interested in those papers that are reflecting, for example, on the limitations that traditional approaches to the study of the Indo-Pacific suffer. Or for instance reflections that tackle questions such as: Are Eurocentric categories and concepts reproduced in dominant narratives about the region? Is it necessary to decolonize these interpretations and incorporate new definitions and tools? What are the roles of the non-state actors or processes of state construction in the configuration of this regional space, of the relations that make up its core, or with the rest of the world? What are the implications of these other concepts for rethinking the Indo-Pacific and the societies that form it, beyond evaluating them from models of state organization and/or development constructed by and for the ‘West’? What alternative notions of power and security are suggested by the heterogeneous conglomerate of actors who act in that regional space? Are they similar to hegemonic notions found globally? What role do the cultural, identity and religious dynamics and processes play in the configuration of the space and the relations that comprise its core? What resistance and social movements act in that regional space? Which of those do so in a transnational way? And, what marginalization or discrimination dynamics are present in this space and its societies, or in its relations with the rest of the world? What other notions (for example, civilization or law) have been developed from or on the Indo-Pacific that can be, in turn, useful to rethink the international?

In short, through this call for papers, we encourage authors to explore challenging topics that broaden our understanding of what is understood by the ‘Indo-Pacific,’ and thus promote critical theoretical discussions that make visible the multiple interpretations and readings of this space.

The general objective of the issue is to offer a better understanding of the Indo-Pacific region, as well as rethink the role of the region in a world undergoing profound transformation. It may well be the case that this region assumes an even greater prominence in the coming years and decades. In particular, the issue would like to include perspectives and contributions from the region, as well as other regions of the Global South: e.g. Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.

Although the list is not exhaustive, in what follows we shall propose a series of thematic groups that will be of special interest for the current issue: 

• Definitions of the Indo-Pacific region: Valued positively shall be those contributions which propose the critical exploration of the ontological and epistemological limits of concepts that traditionally define the region. Some alternatives could be: theoretical debates on the geographical reach of the term ‘Indo-Pacific’ and the political and socio-economic implications of such definitions; discussion on the notion of centrality in the political imagination of the different actors in the region; epistemic colonialism in opposition to the proposals of academic communities in the production-transmission of knowledge from a decolonial perspective of theory.
• Reflections on the models of governance and development in the Indo-Pacific region: encouraged are contributions on the notion of centrality in the political imagination of different actors in the region, as well as reflections on the concept ‘civilization standard’ as an orientating principle of the international relations of the region. In this sense, a call is also made for contributions related to the historical and cultural context of the region. Similarly, on South-South and North-South relations, especially in the transformation of agendas and perspectives of the Indo-Pacific.
• Human mobility: those proposals which tackle, from a critical perspective, questions related to human mobility, on those relations with and at the border, on resistance in migrations in the region, will be given special consideration.
• Spaces of insecurity and/or from the Indo-Pacific region: contributions on critical and alternative visions of security and the construction of peace, hybrid regimes and different phenomena included in the agendas shall be valued.
• Intersectional questions: new proposals are welcome on urbanism and the international role of the megalopolis; multiple ontologies (religious, syncretism and plurality, philosophy, languages, ethnicity and society), among others. 

Although these lines of research are prioritized, the acceptance of contributions will not be limited to the previously set out areas.

EVALUATION process

Once the article is submitted correctly through the website the double-blind evaluation process begins. The decision process will take between three and six months, depending on the case: this may include the return of the text to its author(s) for the revision or correction of changes and suggestions made by the anonymous reviewers. During the evaluation process, the reviewers will be responsible for certifying the quality of the work of the authors, as well as the appropriateness of the final texts for the topics proposed in the call for papers.

• PLEASE NOTE: suggestions by the authors of possible reviewers for the evaluation of their texts are permitted. With the text of your proposal, you can send us by email the names of academics with extensive knowledge of the aspects dealt with in your work so that- if the coordination considers it appropriate- these people can be contacted as blind reviewers.

DEFINITIVE ACCEPTANCE

Throughout the evaluation process (between May, 2024 - August, 2024), those authors whose text receives the complete approval of the assigned reviewers will be notified of the definitive acceptance of their article, at which time they can have the absolute certainty that the paper will be published in the journal. That the article is published in Issue 57 as planned – and not in a later issue – is subject to the complete conformity of the text to the instructions indicated in the Style Manual of the journal, or other contingencies that will be duly communicated to the authors.

EDITING process
