    Estudiar las infancias en América Latina: ideas y debates para un campo emergente
    (South Florida Publishing LLC, 2022-01-19)
    El estudio de las infancias se ha consolidado en los últimos años en América Latina como un campo de estudios autónomo y emergente. Como apertura al dossier temático Infancias en América: diversidades en tensiónqueremos delinear el panorama de los estudios que, desde la historia, la antropología y la educación, han contribuido a este renovado interés sobre las infancias en la región. En el artículo reconstruimos las líneas emergentes y concluimos con propuestas para una agenda investigativa para/sobre/con las infancias en y desde América Latina.

    Exploring Organisational Controversies as Actor-Networks: Ethnographic Insights from a Brazilian State School
    (2025-03-20)
    We adopt an ethnographic approach grounded in Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to examine the controversies surrounding student performance in a Brazilian State School recovering from a post-disaster scenario. By tracing the networks of actors – school staff, students, educational regulations, and community concerns – we illustrate how translation processes shape and stabilise organisational actions. The analysis reveals that controversies over project-based versus traditional learning approaches prompted continuous renegotiation of roles, interests, and goals. These renegotiations drew on output-based regulations, prior award-winning educational projects, and local socio-environmental issues to enact a provisional future that the school should achieve. Our findings suggest that contradictory interests in highly regulated public institutions do not necessarily mean a lack of success in achieving collective objectives but instead create opportunities for their creative redefinition. We demonstrate how past experiences and imagined futures influence public managers' and employees' decisions in negotiating these controversies, temporarily stabilising organisational practices.

    BAYESIAN PHYLOGENETICS FOR LANGUAGE PREHISTORY-AND ARCHAEOLOGY
    (Oxford University Press, 2025-07-22)
    Among various approaches to correlating archaeology and language(s), Bayesian language phylogenetics is highly promising in principle—yet controversial in practice. It can provide a framework of a language family's divergence phases, and aspires to estimate their chronology, to help identify which processes in the archaeological record best correspond. Results have been dogged by inconsistency and artefacts, however, so some cautionary tales here first identify past failings, and new solutions. We review the whole pipeline from raw language data through encoding to Bayesian phylogenetic analysis and results. We then focus on how to interpret those results specifically against archaeology. We assess what splits in the trees actually mean; the pros and cons of ancient and proto-languages; and signal on deep prehistory. Throughout, we frankly assess the state of the art, and explore how Bayesian phylogenetic models might be more closely tailored to how descent with modification applies specifically to language families.
