Reconfigurations in sustainability transitions : a systematic and critical review
2021
Two streams of literature have become especially prominent in understanding social change toward sustainability within the past decades: the research on socio-technical transitions and applications of social practice theory. The aim of this article is to contribute to efforts to create dialogue between these two approaches. We do this by focusing on the concept of reconfiguration, which has become a much-used, but poorly defined notion in the discussion on sustainability transitions. To understand what is defined as reconfiguration in systems and practices, and how the understanding of reconfiguration in regimes could benefit from insights about reconfiguration in practices, we conducted a …
Le recours au dialogue avec les parties prenantes dans l'exercice de la responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE) : proposition d'une typologie
2021
Since Freeman's work (1984), dialogue with stakeholders has become a central theme in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) (Bonnafous-Boucher & Pesqueux 2006; Brown & Dillard 2015; Brown et al. 2020).This dialogue is strongly encouraged by international standards (ISO 26000, GRI, IIRC, AA1000SES, OCDE Principles), which describe it as a tool to inform the decisions of organizations and to allow stakeholders to make their views heard.While the concept of dialogue is omnipresent in the literature, the use of dialogue as a management device is little questioned and documented in scientific studies. How is the dialogue organized by companies? What are the roles of stakeholders? In…

La construcción de la instersubjetividad desde la hermenéutica trascendental
2017
En este artículo se busca reflexionar sobre cómo el diálogo es una poderosa herramienta para utilizar en aquellos programas educativos que deseen contribuir con la transformación de la sociedad. Es por ello, que se hace necesario vincular la hermenéutica a la praxis de las ciencias sociales. La hermenéutica puede brindar a las ciencias sociales una metodología de encuentro de perspectivas a través de la intersubjetividad. La intersubjetividad, establecida a través del diálogo, puede posibilitar espacios de acercamiento a la hora de construir un conocimiento colectivo en el ámbito educativo. La ética, también como disciplina filosófica, puede servir para fundamentar la praxis educativa orien…

Humanization is the key educational strategy in a democratic society.

Scholars agree that the humanization of education is a necessary precondition in order to educate an…
The judicial guarantee of the right to health: between the indirect protection and the specific justiciability
2019
El objetivo principal de este trabajo es el estudio de los mecanismos de garantía judicial del derecho a la salud. Se estudian, de un lado, aquellos que protegen este derecho a través de la vía de la interrelación con otros derechos, como es el caso del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos o del sistema interamericano. De otro lado, se tratan los sistemas que reconocen una justiciabilidad autónoma al derecho a la salud, destacando la litigación en países como Brasil o Colombia, y las críticas que ello ha recibido. Ante estas reservas, como las inequidades encontradas en el acceso a los tribunales y la excesiva intervención judicial, como objetivo último se plantean algunas respuestas, entre…
