EXAMINING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA IN ADULTS AND CONTRASTING IT WITH TRAUMA IN SHAKESPEARE'S HAMLET CHARACTER, PRINCE HAMLET

Bita Iraji — 2024-09-11

Since unfortunate events can happen to anyone at any time, it is important for everyone to understand the concept of psychological trauma and be able to identify its symptoms to prevent or treat it before it becomes too late. The character of Hamlet is traumatized from the very beginning of the play, and as the story develops, so does his trauma. Shakespeare's Hamlet is a well-known and widely performed play, making it a good option to illustrate trauma and its detrimental consequences on both the individual and others around them in real life. The study, which was founded on the constructivist paradigm, demonstrated adult psychological trauma, its symptoms, and its effects by using a phenomenological approach. Twelve people, six men and six women, over the age of eighteen (from 19 to 60), participated in this study. After an analysis of the experiences and feedback provided by the participants, it became clear that if psychological trauma is not identified and treated in a timely manner, it can negatively impact not only the victim's own life but also the lives of those close to them and even society as a whole.

CRITICAL INTERCULTURALITY AS AN EDUCATIONAL PROCESS EXPERIENCES IN AN INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY IN NORTHWEST MEXICO

Emilia Cristina González-Machado — 2024-09-18

This article is the result of a pedagogical project in the community of Santa Catarina, in northwestern Mexico. First, we analyze the theoretical implications of interculturality, in particular the concept of critical interculturality. In Latin America, critical interculturality has contributed to decolonial studies, creating a framework for understanding social relations within the framework of Modernity. We epistemically assume that critical interculturality emerges and is nourished by social movements. Critical interculturality is thus defined as an ongoing political project. Secondly, we present the Pa Ipai community of Santa Catarina, describing its historical and social conditions. We assume that as socio-educational researchers we must permanently question our methodology to avoid academic colonialism. Unfortunately, however, this is often reproduced when we consider community members as mere informants. Finally, we outline an overview of the objectives and procedures of the critical intercultural pedagogical project, followed by some reflections on the difficulties and results of said project. This proposal aims to understand interculturality as a process, a work in progress, where other forms of knowledge come into play. By creating a space away from traditional school environments, the backbone of the learning process is to involve students with a plurality of cultural manifestations that bring them closer to an ontological understanding of the other.
