Psicodrama y Teatro Espontáneo: Experiencias innovadoras para el ámbito comunitario en Cuba / Psychodrama and Spontaneous Theatre: Innovative experiences for the community sphere in Cuba / Psicodrama e Teatro Espontâneo: Experiências inovadoras para a esfera comunitária em Cuba

Este trabajo relata experiencias innovadoras de implementación del psicodrama y el teatro espontáneo para el ámbito comunitario en Cuba. Las tres experiencias se desarrollaron en “El Canal”, espacio alternativo para la promoción del Psicodrama y el Teatro Espontáneo/Playback. Las modalidades implementadas fueron: el psicodrama público como dispositivo para potenciar la participación ciudadana; el psicodrama para la construcción y reconstrucción de la memoria histórica; y el teatro espontáneo comunitario para propiciar un encuentro intergeneracional, contando con la dirección de Julia Motta; Úrsula Hauser; Ana Ara y Bea Huber, respectivamente. Se fundamentan y describen las modalidades utilizadas, destacándose sus potencialidades para ser empleadas en función de diferentes propósitos dentro de algunas de las tareas esenciales que demanda el trabajo en ámbitos comunitarios.

This work tells innovative experiences of implementation of psychodrama and spontaneous theatre for the community environment in Cuba. The three experiences were developed in “El Canal”, an alternative space for the promotion of Psychodrama and Spontaneous Theatre/Playback. The modalities implemented were: public psychodrama as a device to enhance citizen participation; psychodrama for the construction and reconstruction of historical memory; and the spontaneous community theatre to promote an intergenerational meeting, with the direction of Julia Motta; Úrsula Hauser; Ana Ara and Bea Huber, respectively. The modalities used are based and described, highlighting their potential to be used for different purposes within some of the essential tasks that work in community settings demands.

Pathological variations in mummified feet between two near-distance/long-time populations in Ancient Egypt.

BACKGROUND: In ancient populations, a significant quantity of foot pathology was related either to the type of footwear they used or the underlying terrain they walked on. Our study was carried out to analyze these parameters with the foot pathologies the mummies presented. METHODS: Between 2006 and 2012, more than 650 individuals were recovered from the Sharuna and Qarara necropolis (Middle Egypt) dating from the VIth Dynasty of the first Ptolemaic Period to the second Coptic Period. From among them, a total of 73 mummified feet (41 from Sharuna and 32 from Qarara) were studied. We took into account the differences existing between both sites in location (15 km apart) and in time (2500 years apart). RESULTS: Almost all feet from Sharuna were wrapped and impregnated with a preservative substance (anthropological mummification), while the mummification process in Qarara was quite natural. Pathologies were found in 36 of the 73 ft (20 from Sharuna and 16 from Qarara). The differences in foot pathologies between the two sites were analysed. CONCLUSIONS: The foot pathologies we found in both necropolises have led us to hypothesise that the majority of the diachronic differences could be related more to progressive changes in the type of the terrain brought out through droughts, than the changes in footwear habits.
