Resumen El presente trabajo aborda la problemática socioambiental vinculada a la producción de bioetanol que se desarrolla en la ciudad de Córdoba (Argentina) desde el año 2012. Nos focalizamos en los modos en que los principales actores sociales involucrados (la empresa productora, vecinas afectadas y actores estatales) han configurado esta problemática, en diálogo con diferentes actores del ámbito técnico-científico. La metodología utilizada implicó trabajo de campo etnográfico (entrevistas, observaciones y participación en eventos relacionados con la problemática) y el análisis de diversos tipos de documentos (principalmente, resoluciones legales, informes técnicos y artículos de investigación). Encontramos que las políticas públicas implementadas en relación con este conflicto (específicamente las desarrolladas en el ámbito judicial) privilegian un tipo de saber profesional experto particular. Señalamos algunas implicancias de este privilegio y planteamos interrogantes para continuar reflexionando acerca del rol de los profesionales científico-técnicos en las luchas socioambientales de nuestros territorios.

Resumo Este artigo aborda a problemática socioambiental vinculada à produção de bioetanol na cidade de Córdoba (Argentina) desde o ano 2012. Nos enfocamos nas formas como os principais atores sociais envolvidos (a empresa produtora, vizinhos afectados, e os atores estatais) têm configurado esse problema, em diálogo com diferentes atores do âmbito técnico-científico. A metodologia utilizada envolveu trabalho de campo etnográfico (entrevistas, observações e participação em eventos relacionados ao problema) e análise de vários tipos de documentos (principalmente resoluções judiciais, relatórios técnicos e artigos de pesquisa). Encontramos que as políticas públicas implementadas em relação a este conflito (especificamente no campo judicial) privilegiam um tipo particular de conhecimento profissional especializado. Apontamos algumas implicações desse privilégio e propomos preguntas para continuar refletindo sobre o papel dos profissionais técnico-científicos nas lutas socioambientais de nossos territórios.

Abstract This article addresses the socioenvironmental problem linked to the production of bioethanol in Córdoba city (Argentina) since 2012. We focus on the ways in which the main social actors involved (the bioethanol-producing company, affected neighbors and state actors) have configured this problem, in dialogue with different actors from the technical-scientific field. The methodology involved ethnographic fieldwork (interviews, observations and participation in some events related to the problem) and the analysis of various types of documents (mainly, judicial resolutions, technical reports and research articles). We found that the public policies implemented in relation to this conflict (specifically those developed in the judicial field) privileged a particular type of expert professional knowledge. We note some implications of this privilege and rise questions to continue to reflect on the role of scientific-technical professionals in the socioenvironmental struggles of our territories.

Abstrac Argentina suffered during 2020 the worst outbreak of dengue registered until now. In America, it seems that this disease cannot be prevented or controlled. Consequently, our general aim is to find and examine the meanings about the dengue problem that circulate among health agents in a locality in the province of Buenos Aires. Our particular aim is to understand what types of knowledge and forms of collective security configure the interventions against dengue in the locality.

Résumé En 2020 en Argentine, la pire épidémie de dengue enregistrée à ce jour s'est développée. En général, en Amérique, cette maladie ne peut être prévenue ou contrôlée. Compte tenu de cela, nous cherchons à examiner les sens de la dengue qui circulent parmi les agents de santé dans une municipalité de Buenos Aires (Argentine). L'objectif est de comprendre quels types de savoirs et formes de sécurité collective composent les interventions contre la dengue dans la commune.

Ante esto, buscamos examinar los sentidos acerca del dengue que circulan entre agentes de salud en un municipio de Buenos Aires (Argentina). El objetivo es comprender qué tipos de saberes y formas de seguridad colectiva configuran las intervenciones contra el dengue en el municipio.

ABSTRACT Although the issue of temporality has mainly been studied from Physics, this topic also exhibits diverse interesting aspects that could be addressed from a biological perspective. One possible way of approaching this subject is to examine the kinds of temporalities involved in biological processes. In that vein, the aim of this article is to analyze developmental and evolutionary processes' temporality in different biological fields of study, including a novel area (Evolutionary Developmental Biology) which attempts to integrate the research of those processes. To that end, we propose a taxonomy for the analysis of the temporal characteristics of biological processes. Making use of that taxonomy, we conclude that biological processes' temporality is extremely complex since not only different fields of study present differing temporal characteristics, but also each kind of biological process shows diverse temporalities. These observations point out the pertinence of biological insights and the relevance of Philosophy of Biology's contributions to the study of the extensive and multifaceted issues of time and temporality.
