Txt.críticos: una plataforma de crítica arquitectónica
(Universidad de Palermo, 2026) Bamba Vicente, Juan Carlos; Ludeña Zerda, Jorge; Aceves Álvarez, Oscar; Vanegas Bravo, Sebastián A; Berrú Rodríguez, Pierre Paolo
La plataforma txt.críticos nace como una iniciativa que pretende complementar la escena de la crítica arquitectónica contemporánea desde Ecuador y Latinoamérica a partir del despliegue de una serie de instrumentos operativos: las “crónicas de proyectos” que constituyen un campo de reflexión sobre las prácticas latinoamericanas contemporáneas; las “conversaciones críticas” que son un espacio para el diálogo sobre la investigación y experimentación proyectual; las “reflexiones teóricas” que abordan diferentes temas sobre la arquitectura y la ciudad desde una mirada crítica. Una apuesta por el análisis crítico de la relación entre hechos, procesos y narrativas de las prácticas arquitectónicas emergentes.
Entre lo precario, lo mineral y lo polifacético: Cinco relatos sobre la Casa Poli
(Universidad de Chile, 2026-06-10) Oscar Aceves Álvarez; Nieto-Fernández, Enrique
Este artículo examina la arquitectura contemporánea como práctica discursiva, partiendo de la hipótesis de que su dimensión narrativa puede analizarse mediante herramientas provenientes de la filosofía del lenguaje. Se propone que los textos que acompañan a una obra no operan únicamente como dispositivos descriptivos, sino también como instancias pragmáticas que participan en la producción y estabilización del significado disciplinar. Para explorar esta hipótesis, se aplica la ‘teoría de los actos de habla’ a cinco reseñas tempranas sobre la Casa Poli, mediante la identificación de ‘actos ilocucionarios’ y la clasificación de ‘modos verbales’. El análisis revela un régimen de enunciación que presenta la Casa Poli ante las audiencias tanto como hecho constatable como condición potencial de la arquitectura. El estudio sugiere que comprender cómo operan los discursos en arquitectura permite reconocer que la crítica no solo interpreta las obras, sino que también participa activamente en la construcción de sus regímenes de sentido y legitimidad.
School violence and convivencia escolar in Chilean public policy in the post-pandemic context
(Springer Nature, 2026) Carrasco-Aguilar, Claudia; Castro-Carrasco, Pablo J.; Rodríguez-Pastene Vicencio, Fabiana; Caamaño-Vega, Vladimir; Gubbins-Foxley, Verónica; Zelaya, Martina
The return to in-person schooling after the pandemic heightened public concern about school violence and convivencia escolar in Chile. This study examines how the Chilean Ministry of Education constructs these phenomena. Using critical discourse analysis, we analyzed 34 official documents published between 2022 and 2024. The analysis involved coding excerpts referring to violence, convivencia escolar, and mental health, examining recurring discursive strategies, and grouping the excerpts into interpretive repertoires according to shared semantic and pragmatic patterns: (a) From conflict to violence: an institutional reading; (b) School violence and convivencia as objects of institutional regulation and control; and (c) Convivencia escolar as formative learning. The findings are discussed in relation to tensions among punitive, regulatory, and formative approaches, as well as school management. Limitations include the exclusive use of Ministry documents and the inability to generalize the results.
National Parent Associations’ Subjective Theories of Post-Pandemic School Violence in Chile: A Qualitative Exploratory Study
(MPDI, 2026) Gubbins, Verónica; Flores, Paula; Carrasco-Aguilar, Claudia; Castro-Carrasco, Pablo J.; Caamaño-Vega, Vladimir; Rodríguez-Pastene Vicencio, Fabiana
The aim of this study was to reconstruct the subjective theories of national parent associations in Chile regarding school violence in the post-pandemic period. We performed a collective case study, employing a qualitative, interpretative, and exploratory approach. Information was produced through semi-structured interviews with leaders of four national associations. The information was examined using inductive thematic analysis. In general, parent association representatives largely described school violence as a loss of parental and pedagogical authority, weakening of the family–school bond, centralized school administration, and social vulnerability factors, intensified by the psychosocial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. The interviewees emphasized preventive and community-based approaches, including strengthening family involvement, incorporating school climate specialists, and implementing educational and recreational activities. Overall, the interviews show that parent association representatives tended to regard violence as a multisystemic phenomenon that, according to their accounts, requires joint efforts involving families, schools, the state, and communities rather than punitive or individualized approaches.
Activity and Outcomes of a Multidisciplinary Sepsis Unit: Fifty Thousand Consultations over Thirteen Years
(MDPI, 2026-07-30) Borges-Sa, Marcio
Resumen: Background. Sepsis is a leading, time-dependent cause of in-hospital death, and guidelines now prioritize organized care such as code-sepsis protocols. Yet little is known about the long-term activity, organization and outcomes of permanent, hospital-scale programs. We characterized the activity of a hospital-wide multidisciplinary sepsis unit (MSU) over thirteen years and evaluated mortality trends. Methods. Retrospective cohort study using the registry of a hospital-wide MSU (2011-2023). The analysis unit was the sepsis event. Activity, referral pathways, interventions, follow-up and mortality were analyzed; temporal trends used multivariable logistic regression and standardized mortality ratios (SMR). Results. The unit attended 10,874 patients across 15,723 events and 50,925 consultations (median age 67; 59.3% men), referred mainly through the sepsis code (45.0%) and, increasingly, proactive early-warning detection (15.2%). An antibiotic change was recommended in 57.2% of events, and 89.8% of all suggested changes were implemented. Follow-up was sustained (median 3 visits; 61.8%). In-hospital mortality was 7.6%, and 11.8% in protocol-confirmed sepsis. Crude mortality did not fall, but severity rose (organ dysfunctions 1.67 to 2.72; septic shock 8 to 13%; both p < 0.001) with stable age; after adjustment the calendar-year effect disappeared (adjusted OR 1.00/year p = 0.70) and the SMR stayed near 1.0, including pandemic years. Age, ICU admission (OR 2.65) and organ-dysfunction count (OR 1.37) independently predicted death. Conclusions. Over thirteen years, this hospital-wide MSU delivered large-scale, multi-channel, longitudinal care to an increasingly severe population while maintaining stable risk-adjusted mortality, supporting the long-term feasibility of a model integrating early detection, multidisciplinary decision-making, antimicrobial stewardship and follow-up.
