Necrofraternity: A Utopia of Mourning Community for an Epoch of Cadavers
This article proposes the concept of necrofraternity as a philosophical-forensic category for analyzing extreme violence and the mass proliferation of cadavers in contemporary times. Its central aim is to critically examine the communal bonds between the living and the dead from a necrohumanist perspective, one that emphasizes the agency of desecrated cadavers as active (f)actors in socio-spatial transformation. The methodology is theoretical and critical, grounded in interdisciplinary analysis that brings together philosophy, social theory, violence and death studies. The findings underscore that cadavers, against the grain of tradition, are not inert remnants; rather, they intervene decisively in shaping the affective and material configurations of the shared world. In conclusion, it is argued that necrofraternity redefines the traditional notion of fraternity by including the dead within an afflicted community, thereby opening possibilities for imagining new forms of justice, collective responsibility, and critical memory in contexts marked by extreme violence, enforced disappearance, and radical dispossession.

Paradoxes of cognitive capitalism: approach to academic knowledge in public universities in Colombia
Capitalism as a social, cultural, and economic model or system has established that the market is the guiding principle of contemporary societies' decisions. This has had devastating effects on sectors such as education, where paradoxes have arisen, primarily related to the ways in which knowledge generated in universities is produced and circulated. With this in mind, the purpose of this article was to analyze how academic knowledge at public universities in Colombia is a result of cognitive capitalism. To this end, a mixed-method study was developed, with qualitative prevalence and support from documentary sources, statistics, and national regulations. A review of international databases (EBSCO, JSTOR, Scopus, among others) was combined with an analysis of institutional reports and calls from the Ministry of Science (MINC) (2020–2022), which made it possible to contrast the global discourses of cognitive capitalism with local practices of scientific production in Colombia. Among the main conclusions, it was found that the laws of scientometrics that are fulfilled in the production, dissemination, and use of knowledge in the country have determined the annual growth rates of scientific production in Colombia, but also the criticisms of the models for assigning salary points, as well as the measurement models from the institutional framework and the impoverishing roles for some professors and researchers.

From aesthetic thoughts to pedagogical practices: Notes about a teaching experience
This article contains compilations derived from the author's teaching practice during the last decade. The analysis is presented from a sensitive perspective to gather, analyze, and rethink concepts from an aesthetic approach, given that this field is not widely explored in pedagogical studies in Colombia. Initially, the text will compile and redefine concepts to later construct the idea of the teacher as an intermediary and the relevance of artistic practices in educational processes. Then, experiences are collected through open-ended surveys that give voice to students present during various moments of the author’s training-practice process. Finally, by applying theoretical ideas to various findings about this teaching practice, the results are analyzed with the hypothesis of a potential impact of teaching on society through a sensitive relationship with students.

Memory and legacy of classical metrics in Brazilian poetry
In this article, we aim to show that the memory and legacy of the classical concepts of meter, verse, and rhythm in Brazilian poetry underwent a resignification—that is, a dynamic and dialogical process derived from the adaptation of classical versification techniques to the reality of modern languages. To this end, we briefly outline some considerations on the reception of classical metric terms in Portuguese versification treatises and present two case studies, analyzing the poems A tempestade by Antônio Gonçalves Dias (1823–1864) and A minha resolução by Laurindo José da Silva Rabello (1826–1864), exploring the rhythmic composition techniques of their verses.

Women and Community Reintegration: Practical Experiences Building Peace in Hector Ramirez Village
The particularities of the community reintegration model adopted by the FARC-EP, together with the adoption of the gender approach in the 2016 peace agreement, make it relevant to recover the experiences of women signatories. This article aims to analyze the process of reincorporation of Farian women from the Hector Ramirez Village, Municipality of Montañita-Caquetá. The qualitative research was conducted through interviews, life stories and field trips in the village. The results highlight the expansion of the idea of reincorporation including dimensions that transcend the individual process, highlighting the community leaders of these women and their reflections on gender and feminism. The text concludes by highlighting the reincorporation not only as a state commitment but as a political commitment of these women for reparation and peace building in their territories, aimed at bridging the gaps of inequality and poverty in the Colombian countryside, which involves sharing the benefits of reintegration with the other inhabitants and residents of the area.

An archeology of self-concern. Hesiod and the background by lifestyle. Wisdom, practice, and subjective transformation
The following work will address the characteristics of ethical concern in Works and Days. We will break down the topic from an ethical anthropological dimension, searching for vestiges of it in the work of the thinker from Ascra. Let us remember that Works and Days represents a work of an ethical-anthropological nature that addresses the problems present in Theogony from another level or, rather, without fracturing the unity that, in our opinion, unites Hesiod's work. Consequently, we want to investigate to what extent the first Hesiodic babblings can constitute an antecedent of the “constitution of the wise man”, the constitution of the prudent man, passed through the sophrosyne, following the proposal formulated by Pierre Hadot, in which the way of life and the question of wisdom, oriented towards the realization of a certain type of bios, is directly related to the notion of askesis. The concept of life is associated with a continuum and not with a disjointed succession of isolated moments. The work will move in the aforementioned dimension, investigating the relationships between poetic thought and philosophy, since we are located in a line of reflection in which Hesiod represents the philosophical or pre-philosophical interlocutor who constitutes the magma with which he nourishes himself the subsequent philosophy.

Names and Meaning: Jokes from Descriptivism, Referentialism, and Speech Acts Perspectives
Jokes, whether oral or written, are part of the linguistic context of most individuals within a community, although they have not been considered a significant topic in philosophical discussions in recent years. However, reflecting on jokes can be useful for understanding various issues in the philosophy of language, particularly those related to names and meaningfulness. One of the main proposals of this article is to use a common linguistic practice to conduct a panoramic review of the problem of meaning through the analytical method. For this purpose, we will analyze a specific written joke: the phrase hoy no fío, mañana sí ("today I don't give credit, tomorrow I will"), which appears in various neighborhood shops across Latin America. This phrase will serve as an example to address the theses of referentialism, as proposed by Bertrand Russell and Saul Kripke; descriptivism, as developed by G. Frege, J. Searle, and P. Strawson; and contextualism, as formulated by L. Wittgenstein and J. Austin. These three frameworks will allow for an explanatory and comprehensive approach to the problematic components involved. This article aims to promote the social appropriation of specific knowledge regarding a shared linguistic everydayness and to demonstrate the application of these paradigms to ordinary circumstances through normative contextualism, without trivializing the context in which we live, while recognizing the practical consequences that may arise from employing the language game inherent to jokes.

The social, political, economic, and environmental dynamics of Latin America have led to common problems and shared challenges. Among the issues of greatest interest to academia and regional governments are inequality and poverty, democratic consolidation, social movements, gender-based violence, the environmental crisis, migration, and access to fundamental rights such as education and healthcare. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated many of these issues, impacting the economy, employment, and increasing poverty and inequality. According to CEPAL, gender gaps also widened, with an increase in domestic workloads and violence against women.

Clinical Sociology and Ethical Alternative Mediation of Solutions (MAÉS)
The objective of this essay is to analyze the conflict resolution approaches implemented in a private university-level educational institution located in an urban area of Pachuca, Hidalgo-México, identify their main problems, and propose an alternative solution. The proposed solution, known as Ethical Alternative Mediation of Solutions (MAÉS), was tested throughout 2024 and showed results by the end of the year. The methodology employed combines the clinical method and applied sociology, along with a critical and creative use of theoretical frameworks. The hypothesis suggests that current solutions are based on an institutional selectivity process, primarily focused on sanctions, which itself becomes an additional source of conflict. While MAÉS does not claim to be a definitive solution, it is presented as a dynamic process requiring ongoing evaluations to address its own challenges. The ultimate goal is twofold: to study conflict resolution methods in a university-level school context and to propose a different sociological approach that transcends theoretical erudition toward transformative practice.
