TL;DR: Burke as discussed by the authors argued that the logologer can be further studied not directly as knowledge, but as anecdotes that help reveal for us the quandaries of human governance, and he proposed that we begin our study of human motives with complex theories of transcendence, rather than with terminologies developed in the use of simplified laboratory equipment.
Abstract: "But the point of Burke's work, and the significance of his achievement, is not that he points out that religion and language affect each other, for this has been said before, but that he proceeds to demonstrate how this is so by reference to a specific symbolic context. After a discussion 'On Words and The Word,' he analysess verbal action in St. Augustine's Confessions. He then discusses the first three chapters of Genesis, and ends with a brilliant and profound 'Prologue in Heaven,' an imaginary dialogue between the Lord and Satan in which he proposes that we begin our study of human motives with complex theories of transcendence,' rather than with terminologies developed in the use of simplified laboratory equipment...Burke now feels, after some forty years of search, that he has created a model of the symbolic act which breaks through the rigidities of the 'sacred-secular' dichotomy, and at the same time shows us how we get from secular and sacred realms of action over the bridge of language...Religious systems are systems of action based on communication in society. They are great social dramas which are played out on earth before an ultimate audience, God. But where theology confronts the developed cosmological drama in the 'grand style,' that is, as a fully developed cosmological drama for its religious content, the 'logologer' can be further studied not directly as knowledge but as anecdotes that help reveal for us the quandaries of human governance."

TL;DR: Some relationships (differences) are established between images produced by the cultural imaginary in films, in comics and other visual manifestations, during modernity as well as in the postmodern era.
Abstract: The contemporary, postmodern visual manifestations we observe in the media, are in continuous transformation, for they are an important part of the myths of both the cultural and the social imaginary. Thus, in this article we try to establish some relationships (differences) between images produced by the cultural imaginary in films, in comics and other visual manifestations, during modernity as well as in the postmodern era.

TL;DR: This text is aimed at reflecting on the transition of modernity to post-modernity, whereby the urge for the search of a new esthetic concept is the reality in contemporary.
Abstract: This text is aimed at reflecting on the transition of modernity to post-modernity, whereby the urge for the search of a new esthetic concept is the reality in contemporary. The post modern a esthetic conception and it perception aimed the liberty and visual creations and do not obey rules as we can see in most modernists tendences but walk into others directions with an hybridation between reality and imaginary that we can see new transformations and others traductions of a esthetics concepts in another imagistics possibilities.

TL;DR: In this article, the trajectories of Mexican teachers during the porfiriato, the revolution and the post-revolutionary period between 1920 and 1940 from the perspective of the history of mentalities and discourse analysis are presented, in order to establish a contrast between the imaginary of the Mexican teacher and their everyday reality.
Abstract: This paper presents the trajectories of Mexican teachers during the porfiriato, the revolution and the post-revolutionary period between 1920 and 1940 from the perspective of the history of mentalities and discourse analysis, in order to establish a contrast between the imaginary of the Mexican teacher and their everyday reality. The evolution of this imaginary through political, economic and social contexts will be presented, and then contrasted with oral history from interviews with teachers. This approach transcends a narrow vision of history, not only in temporary terms but also in terms of depth and understanding of the current situation of Mexican teachers.
