Off‐Label Prescribing as Therapeutic Governance
Off‐label prescribing is a recurrent feature of contemporary therapeutic practice, especially in fields such as pediatrics, oncology, and rare diseases, where authorized options may be limited, delayed, or poorly adapted to clinical need. Biomedical research has examined its prevalence, risks, and potential benefits, but its broader sociological implications have received less sustained attention. This paper develops a sociological analysis of of…
Affective Alignment and Youth Participation
This paper examines the relationship between movement‐directed affective orientations and youth participation in Spain's 15M Movement. Drawing on the sociology of emotions and social movement research, the study approaches 15M as a case in which protest participation was associated with a distinctive configuration of positive affective alignment toward the movement. Using microdata from the Spanish Centre for Sociological Research (CIS Study 2,91…
The social phenomenon of rare diseases
This paper explores the social phenomenon of rare diseases through a logical-modal analysis. Although rare diseases originate within a biomedical framework and are increasingly recognised by institutional and empirical literature as issues of equity, inclusion, care and participation, this recognition has not usually been formalised in Durkheimian terms. The study applies modal logic, based on possible-worlds semantics and Kripke models, to clari…
Rare diseases as a systemic stress test for inclusive education in Spain
Inclusive education is widely established as a normative principle across European education systems. However, its effective implementation remains uneven when schools encounter forms of diversity that fall outside stabilised diagnostic categories. Drawing on qualitative analysis of narratives from 224 families of students aged 3–18 with rare diseases in Spain, this study examines how low prevalence and high heterogeneity function as a systemic s…
Why Luhmann? Social systems theory for a sociology of suicide in the platform age
Suicide becomes a sociological object through the communications that make it observable, recordable, reportable, and governable. This Perspective draws on Luhmann’s social systems theory to analyse how suicide-related meanings are selected and stabilised across functionally differentiated subsystems. The argument treats suicide as a limit-case perturbation that is processed differently by health care, law, education, media, and platform governan…
A biosocial theoretical framework for the evolution of the human social system
This article examines the evolution of the human social system from a biosocial and systemic perspective. The study integrates gene–culture coevolution, niche construction, and ethodiversity with Niklas Luhmann’s theory of social systems. The analysis considers the social system as a communicative domain that reproduces itself through autopoietic operations rather than through individual behavior. Gene–culture coevolution and niche construction p…
Is There a Sociology of Suicide
A sociology of suicide plainly exists in a historical sense. Since Durkheim, sociologists have ssshown that suicide varies with integration, regulation, inequality, relational embeddedness, institutional arrangements, and cultural repertoires of meaning. The stronger question concerns the conditions under which this work coheres as a field. This essay argues that a specifically sociological explanation of suicide locates suicidal trajectories wit…
Modelling Suicide‐Related Communication Dynamics
Suicide‐related phenomena (SPS) are often approached through individual‐level risk factors or moral framings, yet their population‐level dynamics depend critically on how ‘suicide’ becomes observable, circulates and is governed across functionally differentiated systems. We develop a testable socio‐cybernetic framework that models SPS as a cross‐system communicative perturbation whose effects are shaped by selection conditions in media, platforms…
Socio-historical understanding of the institutionalization of rare diseases—analysis of Spanish policies in the European context
The analysis of scientific policies on rare diseases provides insights into the evolving dynamics in health systems. This study aims to understand the growing importance of societal influence in the development of policy standards, particularly those related to rare diseases. Adopting a socio-historical approach, the research will examine the various processes of institutionalization in rare disease research. The objective is to gain an in-depth …
Historia cultural de los psicodélicos
Los psicodélicos son un símbolo de la posmodernidad. El mayor interés por ellos en diferentes etapas de la historia de las sociedades modernas refleja valores antagónicos a los que llevaron a su prohibición. Mediante una revisión teórica, se establece una relación entre la construcción de los discursos sociales centrados en las potencialidades positivas de los psicodélicos y unos valores posmaterialistas vinculados al individualismo expresivo, en…

Urban Transformations for Universal Accessibility
This paper offers a systematic review of the papers in the present century that have addressed the intersection between urbanism, universal accessibility, and the socio-educational sphere. The paper explores, describes, and interprets the published literature found in academic sources included in Scopus and Web of Science (WOS) from the year 2000 to the present about the intersection of these three topics. We start from the dialogue between the s…
Transhumanism, Society and Education
We propose a semiotic framework to underpin a posthumanist philosophy of education, as contrasted to technological determinism. A recent approach to educational processes as semiotic phenomena lends itself as a philosophy to understand the current interplay between education and technology. This view is aligned with the transhumanist movement to defend techno-scientific progress as fundamental to human development. Particularly, we adopt a semiot…
Sociodemographic Analysis of Disability in a Highly Depopulated Rural Region
European regions with a lower population density have greater structural difficulties in ensuring that the daily life of their inhabitants matches that of more populated regions. This problem persists in groups of people who present some type of disability. Soria (Spain) is one of such regions. It is considered the most depopulated region of Southern Europe. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the reality of people with disabilities i…
Analyzing the meaning of social images during pandemic lockdown
Our paper focuses on the semiotic analysis of images as shot by photojournalists. The photographs we analyze were taken in two different cities in Spain during a period of strict enclosure. For the analysis, we asked photojournalists to select several images. Once we received a selection, we analyzed the content of the images and categorized them. We processed the resulting information through statistical methods. The results show the importance …
Socio-historical analysis of the social importance of pharmacovigilance
Pharmacovigilance is a scientific discipline that has changed a lot in recent years and is of great social importance. The case of the so-called sulfonamide elixir showed society the importance of this discipline. Since then, pharmacovigilance has evolved into a scientific discipline with a strong social character. In this paper, a historical review is made of several paradigmatic examples of this discipline to reflect on what pharmacovigilance c…

The aim of this article is to analyze the possible existence of overprotection, its social impact, and its effects on the quality of life of people with Wolfram syndrome. The research method is mix: quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative study is based on a correlational-descriptive observational design. The sample consisted of 31 patients aged between 15 and 46 years, diagnosed with Wolfram syndrome in Spain. The quality of life of the p…
Investigación cualitativa sobre el impacto del confinamiento estricto en las entidades del tercer sector españolas relacionadas con las enfermedades raras
A raíz de la pandemia producida por el impacto del nuevo coronavirus, se adoptaron medidas de confinamiento estricto en España desde el 15 de marzo de 2020. Las medidas afectaron, entre otros sistemas, a la actividad y gestión de las entidades del tercer sector dedicadas a la atención a las personas con enfermedades raras. En este estudio se trató de conocer este impacto, mediante el uso de metodología cualitativa y el software MAXQDA a partir de…
Condicionantes biosociales de las enfermedades no diagnosticadas
En este trabajo de investigación nos aproximamos al conocimiento de las enfermedades no diagnosticadas. Dichas enfermedades se enmarcan dentro de las llamadas enfermedades raras, debido a que no son frecuentes. Generan una serie de condicionantes en la vida de las personas afectadas y en sus relaciones sociales. Ello es fruto de la ruptura semiótica entre el código biológico y el social. Esta situación puede obligar a las personas con estas enfer…

El Síndrome de Wolfram (SW) es una enfermedad “rara”, neurodegenerativa y progresiva. El trabajo evalúa la calidad de vida de las personas con SW y de sus cuidadores. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 27 afectados y 31 cuidadores. Los resultados mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos estudiados. Las personas afectadas por el SW tienen una mejor calidad de vida en relación a la ausencia de sobrecarga laboral y de tiem…
Análisis teórico de un posible futuro en la sociedad ciborg
Robotics has generated, over time, an enormous number of social imaginaries presents in plentiful cultural expressions. In the present work a preliminary analysis of these one is done to better understand the new social reality to which we can be subjected. Through a theoretical social analysis, we seek to investigate credible elements that we can find in a relatively close future. Specifically, we will focus on data offered by epigenetics and an…
Technoscience, Hermeneutic and Society Oriented to the Person
This article becomes the first step towards technoscience as an opened and inter-penetrated enabler. For this the authors develop a theoretical and hermeneutical analysis of the techno-scientific system. A brief history of the modern occidental science is presented. Later, this article offers the first approach to a trans-subjective or trans-personal theory within the Latin American context. The authors show different reactions to the so-called ‘…
Entre el Ciborg y el Barroco
El presente texto pretende analizar la sociedad actual. En ella la tecnociencia tiene una presencia importante y ésta, a su vez, no es muy diferente con respecto a las demandas intelectuales, culturales y sociales del Barroco. Es decir, en la sociedad actual podríamos decir que sucede lo mismo, interesa más obtener resultados, que se nos asombre, más que comprender el cómo funciona o se realizan. Si bien, como aconteció en el Barroco, sectores de…
Metáforas tecnocientíficas en el discurso mediático
A lo largo de la historia de la lengua española, se ha hecho patente la preocupación por los usos lingüisticos y por su interpretación. Son muchos los numerosos estudios semánticos de los que disponemos, enfocados desde distintas lenguas. Partiendo del estudio de Lakoff y Johnson Metáforas de la vida cotidiana, podemos observar que las interpretaciones de algunas metáforas que se utilizan frecuentemente en lengua inglesa pueden ser interpretadas …
Epistemología y hermenéutica de la ciencia
La intención de este trabajo es mostrar cómo es posible desarrollar una hermenéutica de la ciencia. Para esto se utilizarán los desarrollos epistemológicos de Kuhn y se desarrollará un análisis teórico de los mismos. Finalmente se exponen los elementos que condicionan la actividad tecnocientífica. Este trabajo busca, como conclusión, exponer los elementos que deberían estar presentes en una hermenéutica de la ciencia

A social constructed human beeing
As a social construction, (bio)technologyi should not be studied out of the social field. From a Social Imaginaries approach, (bio)technology can be considered as a contemporary social magma formed by biological, technical, psychological, sociological and axiological factors. Orbiting around the the cyborg metaphor, in this article we intend to build a multidisciplinary approach of this polycontexture
