This academic essay addresses the challenge of generating learning processes in school Religious Education, understanding the learning process as the generation, verification and feedback of learning effectively intended in formal education processes. To this end, it addresses the challenge of clarifying the perspectives from which the subject of Religion can be implemented in school contexts, showing that the high diversity of education administrators in Chile contributes to the high dispersion of considerations on the meaning and purpose of the subject in the school curriculum. As a second element, the diversity of pedagogical perspectives that are traditionally adopted within educational communities is addressed, which has repercussions on the elements that can be learned, and therefore evaluated, in a formal education process in the subject of Religion. Finally, from the intersection of both perspectives, the consideration of the subject of Religion in the formal education system and the understanding of learning adopted by each establishment is analysed in order to exemplify, around a Learning Objective, all the perspectives of assessable elements that are generated from this documented pedagogical curricular analysis, an analysis that is ultimately at the basis of any learning process.

This article intends to show some theoretical and pedagogical elements of political formation in biblical-narrative catechesis. Why should the catechesis of Christian initiation take on this task? The central hypothesis of this work is the affirmation according to which the biblical narrative is the expression of an experience of faith in which God reveals himself in history. Therefore, the biblical God does not appear detached from the political problems experienced by the People of Israel or the primitive Christian community. Now, conceived as an electoral struggle or as a commitment to the construction of social friendship, politics is also expressed -although not only- in stories. That is why a central aspect of political formation in biblical-narrative catechesis stands out: the discernment of current political stories in the light of biblical stories and stories of holiness from the rich history of the Christian community. By putting these stories in dialogue with the biblical stories, a decisive capacity in Christian life is developed in catechized persons, namely, that of critically reading current political events in the light of the Word of God and of ecclesial tradition.

In this time of synodality, the Church is called to review not only its ecclesial form, but also its entire content: that which gives the foundations for the reason for its existence. In this sense, we need to examine the process of faith that we Christians have been carrying out, both those who have been part of the Church for many years, as well as the process that we propose to those we invite to be part of it. Catechesis, as that first time of faith formation, continues to reveal to us the difficulties we still have in transmitting something that is not only a content: it is a foundational experience that marks the life of the person and that is decisive for the subsequent time of the journey of faith. For this reason, the central questions of this work could be: how are we living our faith experience today, what are the obstacles we are having so that our catechesis can be a true kerygmatic and mystagogical itinerary, and what are the obstacles we are having so that our catechesis can be a true kerygmatic and mystagogical itinerary? With these questions as a guide, we will seek to analyze some aspects of the life of Christian faith, which condition any catechetical itinerary. After reviewing some aspects, in the conclusion we will try to give some clues as proposals, so that our catechesis can be a more seductive invitation.

The aim of this article is to contribute with the thought and educational challenge of the process of catechism. The main question that moves the investigation is the following one: ¿Do the listening comprehend only a period before the kerygmatic announcement or is included in the faith process and follow of risen Lord? The methodology chosen is a bibliographic revision. Firstly, it describes the cultural and ecclesial context where the catechism is developed, alongside with its challenges and importance. Secondly, it developed the comprehension of catechesis as a craftwork of a process that implies heard, the kerygmatic announcement and the mystic. It is a concluded that an intrinsic relation exists between these three dimensions, that despite their identity they cannot be separated in a path of integral faith. Catechesis and the following of risen Lord in the continuous formation still is a sacred space and of resistance of the present life.

Postsecular societies have sought to answer in a varied manner the question about the role that religious confessions are allowed to play in the public affair. In educational matters this question focuses particularly on whether it is appropriate to teach religion in state schools. In Latin America a heterogeneous picture can be observed regarding how this question is answered. This article seeks to investigate from the analysis of the normative corpus of the countries of the region in terms of education, the different ways of carrying out school religious education. As a product of the conceptions, traditions and decisions of each of the states can be found a range of models in relation to this practice in public education ranging from Catholic religious teaching as an exclusive offer to the prohibition of this discipline, with varying degrees between these two extremes.

A recent study confirmed the existence of more than 200 music documentaries produced in Chile between 1990 and 2019. Of this body of films, only a small number have women as main characters. Combining theoretical references from Musicology and Film Studies, this article offers an in-depth analysis of music documentaries focused on Chilean female musicians from a gender perspective to understand how these productions portray women. In terms of methodology, we selected five documentaries focused on artists such as Nicole, Mon Laferte and Violeta Parra. The film analysis seeks to understand the discourses about gender issues and reveal what narratives, topics, audiovisual strategies, and gender stereotypes these films promote. Music documentaries are not simply products that document music practices but discourses about music that outline how we understand it. In this light, this article reveals how music documentaries portray Chilean female musicians and the gender constructions that shape these portraits

This work discusses Lucia Puenzo’s XXY and The Fish Child, and Marialy Rivas’ Young and Wild as a correlate of gender outlaws on-screen that incorporates queer narratives in Argentinean and Chilean societies. Amy Kaminsky formulated the Spanish verb encuirar as a translation of the English term queer. Encuirar implies to discover the reality beyond the heteronormativity. Puenzo and Rivas fully execute the action of encuirar through these cinematic creations.

In recent years, the emerging manifestation of artistic exercises that seek to have an impact on social problems and their cultural systems has been observed. However, there is no theoretical basis to support and guide these practices. At the international level, the need has been announced, but not fully addressed. Based on a case study on the problem of housing for migrants in the central area of ​​Santiago de Chile, carried out between 2015 and 2019, an art theory and practice is proposed that focuses on people rather than on the generation of objects and the representation. A multi-method qualitative investigation of an exploratory nature and a complex methodology was designed to obtain a survey of data on migrant housing and living, and inputs for the articulation of demands, at first, and an evaluation of the achievement of incidence that allows the proposed theoretical system, in a second stage. It is concluded that artistic practice increases the possibilities of public incidence to the extent that it distances itself from the object-centric theory and advances towards the generation of significant content that constitutes a contribution to the demands and needs of migrants regarding their living. Revisiting the theoretical bases of art and its practice becomes imperative in the face of the continuous problems that emerge today in society.

The objective of this work is to carry out a comparative analysis of the trajectories of two different generations of female circus artists, mother and daughter, from the southern suburbs of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Their embodied life stories will be used to understand what vital experiences were enabled and constrained in the different situations in which their youth lived as circus artists and mothers -in the context of the 90's marked by neoliberalism and in the effervescence of Ni One Less since 2015- and how gender and corporality are mutually constituted in feminized circus subjectivities in both epochal conditions and what subjective transformations emerged from the encounter of feminist activism and the circus. Finally, this article aims to contribute to the strengthening of the circus as a relevant art as well as to make visible the experiences of the artists from a feminist anthropology.
