Abstract

FIGURAS REVISTA ACADÉMICA DE INVESTIGACIÓN sets and builds up –through an act of writing- the act of transforming, tracing or representing in each publication the findings that authors lay on each of the three sections covered in this publication.

In this issue, the Perspectives section publishes three articles that demonstrate the multidisciplinary development of FIGURAS REVISTA ACADÉMICA DE INVESTIGACIÓN. “Political Management and the Potential for Self-government: Collective Action for Development” takes up some theoretical references that detail certain economic, social and political conditions, that will allow an ex-ante evaluation of the potential success of self-government; “The Gestation of the Concept of Humanism in the First Decade of the 20th Century in Mexico” explores the conditions under which emergence took place, starting from understanding what was there, in 1900, in the place of humanism, was it a void? Was it something designated with another name and then called like that? Finally, “Reconstructing INAH’s “Proyecto Teotihuacán”, 1962-1964 (Season IV and V)” is an extensive research that exposes the unpublished information of the “Proyecto Teotihuacán” that was consigned in the technical reports kept at INAH, as well as in the scarce texts that were published to bring to light the documentary sources that provide direct information from the protagonists of the project. 

In the section Scenarios, essays are grouped on a current and little-recognized topic, outside the medical and health fields: menstruation. Four young female writers rehearse their writing in an autobiographical and reflective exercise; from their intimacy, they break the silence, point out the violence that is exercised on the body by ignoring its processes, and show a way to change the conception of the menstrual cycle. That’s how we can read “The Tale of Menstruation”, “A Rabid Animal”, “A Bad Night” and “Menarche, Anarchy”

The Resonances section includes a critical review of the book El pluriverso de Derechos Humanos. The diversity of struggles for dignity in which their contributions to the deconstructive discussion on the effectiveness of human rights are explained. Two critiques dealing with research projects: “Multidisciplinary Dialogue of Knowledge, Season 2: the Challenge of the Blank Page in a Research Project” that presents the challenges to overcome in academic writing; the second (“Linking Didactic Experiences with the Work Environment Through Creative Thinking in the Graphic Design Degree Program”) reviews the processes followed by a group of students to create an advertising campaign. Finally, “Empowering Words for Girls in the 21st Century Poetry” shows how, with the establishment of a literary prize, the publication of poetry for children begins and how the poetry voice is focused on girls.
