Influence from the margins
Shortly after Super Bowl LX, in which Bad Bunny headlined the most‐watched halftime show in Super Bowl history, the editors of American Ethnologist sat down to interview anthropologists Crystal Abidin (author of books including TikTok and Youth Cultures and Child Influencers: How Children Become Entangled with Social Media Fame ) and Vanessa Díaz (author of the books Manufacturing Celebrity and P FKN R: How Bad Bunny Became the Global Voice of Pu…
Principios para gobernar la Inteligencia General Artificial (AGI)
El rápido desarrollo de modelos fundacionales y su creciente autonomía demandan una gobernanza capaz de anticipar y mitigar los riesgos de una posible Inteligencia Artificial General (AGI). Este estudio propone un marco de principios e indicadores de gobernanza para alinear el desarrollo de sistemas avanzados con valores sociales y marcos internacionales. La metodología combina tres enfoques: (i) revisión sistemática de literatura para identifica…

We woke up, on October 20, 2023, to a flutter of emails from students and colleagues: "Did you see Jimmy Fallon?" "OMG Bad Bunny wants to take our class!"While we were sleeping, international superstar Bad Bunny (Benito Martnez Ocasio) had discussed our classes on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.Between talking about Bad Bunny's new album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Maana and his hosting gig on SNL, Fallon asked, "There's actually college cou…
Minds in action
Reports suggest that the development of a child's understanding of the mind (ToM) is enhanced in bilingual children. This is usually ascribed to different features of executive functioning (EF), though there is not a lot of empirical support for that position. Instead, published studies suggest an association between linguistic processes such as sociolinguistic sensitivity, metalinguistic awareness, language proficiency, and bilinguals’ ToM devel…
Renacimiento o Barroco
Renacimiento" y "Barroco" nombran, antes que épocas o estilos de la historia del arte, modos a veces antagónicos de concebir el "origen" de nuestra época. Cuando hoy se sigue desplegando la conexión Aby Warburg-Walter Benjamin (ejemplarmente, Georges Didi-Huberman) para definir un umbral de transformación de la historia y la crítica del arte, se hace convivir a dos filósofos del arte que, sin embargo, se valieron para elaborar su torsión metodoló…
Is There an Association between Executive Function and Receptive Vocabulary in Bilingual Children? A Longitudinal Examination
Dual language management has been proposed as the reason for bilingual children's sometimes enhanced executive functioning (EF). We sought to identify the directionality of the relation between language proficiency and EF, using measures of receptive vocabulary, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility. Data were collected twice, a year apart, on 35- to 66.8-month-old bilingual ( n = 41, M = 49.19 months) and monolingual preschool children (…

La creatividad del diseño
En un marco donde la creatividad se vincula con el progreso, este ensayo propone un acercamiento sociocultural al estudio de los procesos creativos de los diseñadores. En diseño, la originalidad ha acaparado las definiciones sobre la creatividad y aún hoy funge como referente central para definir a los sujetos y sus prácticas. En este sentido, resulta pertinente asumir una postura multidisciplinar que retome los avances del enfoque sociocultural …
Are Scientists Smart? Kindergarteners’ Gendered Understanding and Use of Descriptors About Science and Intelligence
Do kindergarten-aged children associate scientists with intelligence? Do they hold gender stereotypes about these topics? What is related to these stereotypes? Do they affect children’s choice of activity? This study asked 48 kindergarteners to choose “the smart one” or “the scientist” out of gender-balanced arrays. Both genders showed positive in-group biases, but girls did not relate the two concepts. Girls were also more willing to engage in a…

Raciontologies
This article presents a theory of raciontologies-the fundamentally racialized grounding of various states of being-that sheds light on complex forms of institutional racism and white supremacy. We are interested in exploring not only how institutional contexts and processes function as sites or vehicles for the reproduction of white supremacy but more specifically how institutions become endowed with the capacity to act in their own right. This a…
Do bilingual and monolingual preschoolers acquire false belief understanding similarly? The role of executive functioning and language
Bilingual children often show advanced executive functioning (EF) and false belief (FB) understanding compared to monolinguals. The latter has been attributed to their enhanced inhibitory control EF, although this has only been examined in a single study which did not confirm this hypothesis. The current study examined the relation of EF and language proficiency on FB reasoning in bilingual and monolingual preschoolers to answer two questions: (1…
