This article presents the results of the relationship between territorial identity and urban development in the city of Tipitapa. It has a mixed approach which allowed the integration of quantitative and qualitative methods, used in a case study. Techniques, such as documentary review, semi-structured interview, focus group and survey, allowed data collection. Instruments validated by experts were designed. The sample was 156 inhabitants from two neighborhoods of this city, next to Managua, by applying the simple random sampling procedure. Data reduction matrices, semantic analysis and statistical analysis were used. The results showed that territorial identity is based on memory, sense of belonging, neighborhood interaction and urban landscape. There is a strong relationship between memory, sense of belonging and local urban development. This last component conditions or infl uences the social perception of the inhabitants in relation to their own identity linked to their local territory, as a key element which contributes to urban governance.

This paper refl ects on the possible strategies that can articulate training and research in the classroom, academic departments (schools) or majors in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in Latin America. This link is one of the weaknesses that most of our universities have. Based on a literature review related to the topic of university research, the problem of how to articulate training and research in the classroom is raised. In this sense, the student is key in this process which seeks to improve the quality of teaching, to provide teachers with greater training resources (scientifi c) so that professionals and/or technicians who graduate from HEIs in our country have the necessary skills to create new knowledge and contribute to the development of each of the societies of our countries. However, in order to achieve this goal, there are a series of challenges in terms of human resources training that HEIs have to overcome, among them: stagnant work habits, lack of resources and institutional weaknesses in terms of policies which encourage educational research from an integral perspective, incorporating teachers and students from a constructivist and horizontal pedagogical relationship.

This article contrasts the expectations around the changes in the Mexican policy towards migrants made by President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador shortly before his inauguration in 2018, and the reality that migrants have experienced since then. It also challenges the idea that people who migrate do so in search of the “American dream”, an expression which is very common in the mass media discourse and even in academic studies. It argues that aspirations of having a job that allows maintenance of the family is a dream and a right of every human being. The text is based on a hemerographic review and on conversations held with migrants in transit through Mexico City.

It also analyzes the contents published in the digital media regarding the myths about the prevention and treatment of the disease and identifies the different consequences of digital disinfodemy on the Nicaraguan population.  

El present article revisita un aspecte central en moltes de les recerques sobre Orlando (1928), la novel·la de Virgínia Woolf (1882-1941): l’anàlisi del joc vestimentari en el qual participa el seu protagonista al llarg de més de tres segles i la singularitat identitària adquirida per les seves constants mutacions de gènere, els seus canvis de roba i les seves circumstàncies particulars. Partint de la idea que els vestits influeixen en la materialitat del subjecte, en la seva psicologia i en l’adquisició d’una determinada idiosincràsia, aquest estudi proporciona una relectura del polièdric recurs de la roba en la novel·la de Woolf amb la finalitat de ressaltar la modernitat de la proposta literària de l’escriptora i descriure el procés constructiu d’una personalitat híbrida que es va llaurant històrica i espacialment. Més enllà de l’aparent transsexualitat i dels travestismes del personatge, a Orlando preval l’opció de la androginia com a utopia d’una existència que lluita per eludir la tradicional dicotomia sexogenèrica i que és senyal distintiu de tot escriptor i d’un sector important de la moda de la nostra època.
