The indigenous peoples in Chile went from not being present in the Constitution to having a Mapuche woman, Elisa Loncon, as the first president of the Constitutional Convention, an organ that has created a new Magna Carta, if the proposal is approved in the plebiscite which will take place on September 4, 2022. The presence of four Mapuche women in this institutional space has generated various negative reactions among part of the political class and citizens, at the level of social networks and the media, many of them the result of structural racism and a colonial vision. For this reason, the objective of this work is to analyze, through critical discourse studies (CDS) and cultural studies, the media impact and racial construction that the bodies of Mapuche women have suffered in a space of power in Chile.

This paper seeks to systematically analyze the debate on the Constitutional Convention regarding police functions, discussing the existing literature on police constitutionalization in a context where police reform is part of the public agenda. The main objective is to highlight and compare the Initiatives of Constitutional Norms in the matter and analyze them by comparing Latin American countries with those that belong to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The results of the comparative review show different tendencies in police constitutionalization. Constitutional norm proposals of the groups of right and center propose models of regulation more similar to the OECD countries. In contrast, the Initiatives right and center groups share more similarities with Latin American countries. In the conclusions, we discuss and compare the main trends in police constitutionalization and define how Chile’s constitutional debate replicates experience patterns.

The Chilean Constitution of 1980 gave the family a place of utmost importance. This article seeks to examine some of the political and normative reasons that shaped this recognition. Based on the observation that the projects that shaped the political conflict in Chile mobilized family rhetoric in different directions, it explores the family’s place in the critique of the opposition sectors to the Unidad Popular. Within the framework of this dispute over family values, it then examines –mainly based on the debates of the Study Commission of the New Constitution– the problem of the family in the political-moral horizon of the 1980 Charter. We suggest that the family was approached here mainly from two points of view: as a source of moral virtues necessary for the proper functioning of the social order and as an agent with economic responsibilities in the market.

“Foundational-collective violences” occupy a central social construction space throughout solid and liquid modernity. In the last two hundred and twenty years, this violence has been hidden by its centrality and social dynamics that may cause, if made visible, a potentially destructive tension within the society itself. Along with this denial, violence has only been conceivable as “criminality” and “war” (in solid modernity) or as “criminality,” “war,” and “symbolic-structural violence” (in liquid modernity). After the awareness of the centrality of the “Foundational-collective violence”, a feasible way out of this challenging issue could lie in developing an open and inclusive cosmopolitan consciousness based on an inclusive and unfinished concept, such as that of a “quasi-us / quasi-them”.  

This article calls for reflection on the importance of water as a natural resource increasingly necessary and scarce in the environment, where rainwater harvesting will have to become an important part of our lives if we are to enjoy a sustainable future. The objective of this work was to develop a historical and bibliographical review to defne the ancestral techniques and methods of rainwater harvesting and storage that can be used and applicable in the PeruvianAndes. It was carried out based on an approach to the history of the management of rainwater resources through different civilizations, continents and epochs. It can be concluded that the return and revaluation of these ancestraltechniques and methods is urgent for the populations, which supported by conventional engineering and rainwater harvesting systems can be transformed into a real initiative that allows extending the availability of the resource in periods and seasons of difficulty and water scarcity, especially in those sectors of the Peruvian Andes that show a serious deficiency in the service of access to water. Therefore, these adaptation measures implemented by our predecessors can be re-evaluated and applied today in a new scientifc and technological context, in order to improve the quality of life in society and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Objective. Establish the factors that determine the demand for tourism resources in the province of Huánuco, Huánuco region, Peru for the year 2019. Methods. The research was of an applied type, adopting a descriptive-correlational level and a non-experimental design. A structured survey questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 360 households in the province of Huánuco. The units of analysis were individuals between 18 and 64 years of age who reside in the houses. Likewise, statistical associations (Spearman's rho) were estimated to determine the relationship between the variables under study. Results. They are divided into two parts: (i) through descriptive statistical analysis, it was found that the factors that determine the demand for tourism resources are: economic factors, people's tastes and preferences, and the promotion of said tourism resources; (ii) based on the inferential statistical analysis, it was found that these determining factors and tourist demand present a positive statistical association of 0.68. Conclusions. The findings indicate that if the level of income allocated to tourist activities, the tastes and preferences for visiting tourist resources, and the promotion of tourist resources in the province of Huánuco increase, the tourist demand in that area will also increase.

During the health emergency generated by the coronavirus (COVID-19), the education sector had the need to adapt to remote to adapt to remote education in order to continue with the teaching-learning process in terms of pedagogical practices, teaching strategies, etc.teaching-learning process in pedagogical practices, didactic strategies, etc. In this context, the scientific production of universities and much less the research training of students, and the search for new alternatives in their learning should be promoted. the search for new alternatives in their learning (Ocampo-Eyzaguirre et al., 2021). In this regard, this the results of a study on the didactic strategies and research skills in students of the diploma course in and research skills in students of the diploma course in research teaching carried out through modules in the Microsoft Teams Microsoft Teams platform in a Peruvian public university.
