This article explores the creation of a national index of sexist violence in Argentina in 2016 as an example of data activism in the Global South. Drawing upon a qualitative content analysis of press coverage and activist posts on social media, as well as interviews with activists, it describes the context of the #NiUnaMenos feminist mobilization and the collection “from below” of data on gender violence. This study illustrates how activists in the Global South can appropriate technology and promote new uses that not only respond to their local and immediate needs but also contribute to the production of alternative imaginaries on big data in the longer term. Moreover, the article positions women’s movements as an essential component of current social movements in Latin America.

Por ello, definir el neoliberalismo como una forma de racionalidad política resulta útil para entender sus variadas manifestaciones y efectos, así como los distintos tipos de resistencia que se construyen en su contra. Este artículo hace una propuesta conceptual desde un marco neogramsciano en relaciones internacionales, que permite entender las resistencias contra el neoliberalismo como prácticas locales y globales diversas que retan el orden establecido y cuestionan su carácter hegemónico. Todo esto en un proceso de cambio social que abarca tanto experiencias individuales como globales, que confluyen en el denominado "movimiento alterglobalización". Para tales fines, en primer lugar, se caracteriza el neoliberalismo como una forma de racionalidad política, mostrando sus efectos más allá de las dimensiones socioeconómicas; en segundo lugar, se conceptualizan las resistencias en su contra como se ha descrito anteriormente; en tercer lugar, se presenta un análisis del movimiento alterglobalización, entendiendo que no es un actor unificado sino un proceso de cambio social apuntalado por la diversidad; y, finalmente, se presentan una serie de conclusiones que resaltan la importancia académica y política de esta perspectiva.

Assessing the International Relations (IR) discipline in Colombia requires deep description of key aspects related to its genealogy, the nature of its scholars and research, and its community structure. IR in Colombia grew out of practical concerns about the creation of adequate human and institutional resources needed to analyze world affairs and Colombian foreign policy. As the field expanded and consolidated, the IR professoriate became more robust and diverse in terms of thematic and geographical trends in research and increased levels of integration at the national and international levels. Several factors have figured prominently in shaping the discipline in Colombia, including the academic training and professional focus of IR scholars, foreign policy interests of the Colombian state, internationalization processes in academia, financial and institutional constraints on research, and patterns of interaction between scholars and policy makers. IR studies in Colombia have not been thoroughly explored, and broad description both allows for a preliminary explanation of their general character and highlights the need for greater reflection about the field’s evolution, shape, and challenges.
