  • Societal transformation
    Vol. 14 No. 2 (2024)

    La presente edición de Tsafiqui - Revista Científica en Ciencias Sociales está dedicada a la idea de transformación social, entendida como aquellos procesos que parten de la sociedad con la premisa de mejorar o potenciar el contexto actual y futuro, con la vista puesta en el planeta que dejaremos a nuestros descendientes. El abordaje se plantea desde diferentes ámbitos, incluyendo la tolerancia y el respeto interétnico, la igualdad de género, la interseccionalidad, la justicia social, las relaciones interpersonales, la convivencia intergeneracional, así como el cuidado de la naturaleza desde una perspectiva necesariamente global.

    Invitamos a la lectura atenta del volumen completo con la finalidad de favorecer el debate público en torno a la necesidad de la transformación social en Ecuador y América Latina. La revista explora problemáticas urgentes y complejas, reconociendo las interconexiones profundas que definen nuestras sociedades contemporáneas. Este conjunto de reflexiones desafía a imaginar y construir un futuro más justo, equitativo y consciente de las complejidades de nuestra era global, especialmente desde un contexto ecuatoriano de aumento de la desigualdad, inseguridad creciente, aumento de la pobreza y pobreza extrema, limitación de derechos humanos, dificultad de acceso a servicios básicos y una ineficacia estatal e institucional para dar respuesta a dichos desafíos. En este momento, la academia y las Ciencias Sociales deben participar del debate político en el análisis exhaustivo de las causas para la propuesta de cambios sociales, políticos y económicos que posibiliten la necesaria transformación social en el país y la región.

  • Educomunicación: otras formas de enseñar y aprender
    Vol. 14 No. 1 (2024)

     

    Educommunication had its peak between the 60s and 70s as a form of transformation and
    contrast to the dominant models, where a vision of indoctrination of subjects based
    on responding to the production system and the need for labor prevailed. This is how
    this proposal promotes a comprehensive approach that emphasizes the need for interaction
    dialogue and sharing as a basis for learning and critical thinking, taking into account
    that education is the cornerstone for social transformation. For this reason, communication is seen more than as an instrument to transmit information
    as a process that allows generating links between actors and therefore taking into account
    experiences and interests through the integration of various media tools as a complement
    to the spaces of teaching-learning, becoming a valuable means to promote analysis,
    reflection and participation in society.

  • Hyperconnected society
    Vol. 13 No. 2 (2023)

    In the vertiginous development that the Internet has experienced, it has changed the way in which we relate, learn, work and in general communicate, all the content that is generated has triggered a huge range of connections that a person can have in their life, going through the family, the educational, social, academic, investigative, technological system, even the workplace. All this has also generated an immense capacity to store and process data, these become increasingly important. The hyperconnected society represents a world in which people remain in a state of permanent connection. This panorama requires discussion on the ways in which society faces this phenomenon in all areas of human activity.  

  • communication and society
    Vol. 13 No. 1 (2023)

    El desarrollo de las tecnologías digitales, la expansión de Internet y el crecimiento de las redes de telefonía móvil han generado profundos cambios en la sociedad a nivel global. Las arquitecturas abiertas, libres y de producción colaborativa —entre pares— han permitido que, como nunca antes en la historia de la humanidad, millones y millones de personas (usuarios finales, ciudadanos) puedan informarse, comunicarse, expresar sus preferencias, gestionar parte de sus derechos ciudadanos y colaborar para producir, disponer y compartir todo tipo de bienes y obras intelectuales. Estas tecnologías están cambiando la manera de hacer política: desde las campañas y sus diferentes formas de financiamiento, hasta las mismas bases de la participación política ciudadana.

  • Communication and society
    Vol. 12 No. 3 (2022)

    The development of digital technologies, the expansion of the Internet and the growth of mobile telephone networks have generated profound changes in society at a global level. Open, free and collaborative production architectures —among peers— have allowed, like never before in the history of humanity, millions and millions of people (end users, citizens) to be informed, communicate, express their preferences, manage part of their civil rights and collaborate to produce, dispose of and share all kinds of goods and intellectual works. These technologies are changing the way of doing politics: from campaigns and their different forms of financing, to the very bases of citizen political participation.

  • Digital transformation in the post-pandemic era
    Vol. 12 No. 2 (2022)

    The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid 19) pandemic has caused significant changes on a personal and social level regarding our principles, values ​​and priorities; changes in the way we meet our needs, work, and interact.

  • New Forms of Communication
    Vol. 12 No. 1 (2021)

    This dossier aims to analyze the communication model in which the interlocutors are not physically present, in the same place and / or time, which makes the communication process change substantially. We cannot ignore the advantages that these new ways of communicating offer us, however we must safeguard humanity from this act. Technological advances in the area of ​​communications have accelerated the development of new media and the migration from traditional ones to the internet. These give rise to cybermedia that constitute a communicative situation different from that of traditional systems by incorporating interactivity. The expansion of social networks and mobile technology in which users reach all the prominence of both producers and consumers, generates dialogues and exchanges within civil society outside of large media companies. These cybermedia generate new professional profiles that have raised the alert in the field of legislation and taxation, but they have also widened social gaps, especially in less developed countries. Finally, it is expected that this academic space can collect, recognize, and disseminate the best investigative, analytical and reflective works of researchers on communication at the local, regional and international levels.
