Call for Contributions – The European Sociologist Issue #55 “Artificial Intelligence and Sociology: Challenges of Professional Transformation”
deadline: 10.06.2026
category: Publication
keywords: artificial intelligence, sociology profession, epistemic transformation
The European Sociologist


This special section of European Sociologist explores how Artificial Intelligence is transforming both contemporary societies and the practice of sociology itself. It invites empirical, theoretical, methodological, and reflexive contributions on how AI reshapes sociological work—from data analysis, theorizing, and publishing to teaching and public engagement—while also reproducing or challenging inequalities, biases, and the commodification of higher education. By examining AI as both an object and a tool of sociological inquiry, the issue asks whether AI marks an epochal change for the discipline and whether it will enable a revitalisation of sociological imagination or contribute to its erosion.

Sección 7 – Perspectivas decoloniales en la enseñanza de dinámicas culturales hispanoamericanas: cruzando umbrales hacia la pluralidad y la post-digitalidad
deadline: 30.06.2026
category: Event (26.02.2026 - 28.02.2026)
keywords: poscolonial, español, postdigital, imaginarios, currículo
Ana Troncoso , Yolanda López García


Sección 7 – Perspectivas decoloniales en la enseñanza de dinámicas culturales hispanoamericanas: cruzando umbrales hacia la pluralidad y la post-digitalidad. Formatos para las presentaciones (una propuesta por persona): 1: Ponencia interactiva de unos 45min (30min con 10min de discusión) 2: Taller práctico (90min) Lengua: español o alemán Es crucial que en las escuelas como lugares de socialización y formación, la enseñanza crítica y decolonial sea parte del currículo. No solo en los materiales que se utilizan sino también en la práctica docente. Es notable que haya estudiantes que llegan a su formación universitaria sin haber reflexionado sobre continuidades poscoloniales. Este hecho puede ser un indicador de la ausencia en la sociedad en general de perspectivas críticas sobre estas continuidades, o de un inadecuado tratamiento de éstas en el sistema escolar en particular. El presente panel propone crear un espacio de reflexión sobre cómo incorporar e implementar perspectivas críticas de lo poscolonial en la enseñanza de dinámicas culturales en Hispanoamérica y España, en consideración de todos los ámbitos involucrados en este proceso. Esto es considerar, junto a la enseñanza del idioma español, las transformaciones sociales de los contextos de sus hablantes y cómo éstas son abordadas y/o representadas por miembros de las respectivas comunidades. También significa considerar el contexto de aprendizaje, vale decir la escuela o centros de formación adulta, puesto que las condiciones de la poscolonialidad generan realidades también en el interior de las instituciones educacionales y se manifiestan, entre otras cosas, en los programas de enseñanza. Esta propuesta se enmarca entonces en la necesidad de cruzar umbrales epistemológicos y metodológicos para fomentar una comprensión crítica, diversa y plural que cuestione los imaginarios dominantes (Castoriadis, 2005) y dé voz a narrativas subalternas, propiciando así polifonías decoloniales. Considerando las experiencias de personas que trabajan en los distintos contextos de enseñanza, el panel busca discutir sobre perspectivas y herramientas de implementación para el fomento de una educación crítica y representativa de la pluralidad de los contextos en los que se habla la lengua. De esta manera se busca también contribuir a la necesaria transformación de currículos e inclusión de nuevas metodologías y prácticas. Se propone un abordaje interdisciplinario, que combine los aportes de la teoría poscolonial (Coronil, 2000 / Hall 2013) e interseccional (Lugones, 2008 / Mignolo, 2005 / Spivak, 2017), con un enfoque que reconoce la “mediatización profunda” (Hepp, 2020) y la continuidad entre los mundos “en línea” y “fuera de línea”, es decir, post-digitales (Knox, 2019). En este contexto es que las nuevas tecnologías y los medios pueden servir para explorar nuevas formas de enseñanza con materiales innovadores para los estudios del español, las dinámicas culturales de sus hablantes y la representación y mediatización de éstas. La interdisciplinariedad puede manifestarse también en los acercamientos metodológicos. Se invita a reflexionar sobre cómo las herramientas digitales y las plataformas de redes sociales pueden ser utilizadas para crear espacios de diálogo intercultural (López García, 2024) y de construcción colectiva de conocimiento. Se destaca la utilización del cine y otros medios audiovisuales (Troncoso Salazar, 2021) como vehículos para explorar imaginarios sobre el sur global, la diversidad de voces subalternas y su mediatización. El análisis crítico de producciones cinematográficas y series televisivas pueden reflejar realidades sociales y procesos culturales, entregando imágenes de mayor resolución, vale decir, más complejas, de las comunidades de la lengua estudiada. El panel busca entonces explorar experiencias pedagógicas que reflexionen sobre los siguientes posibles tópicos, sin limitarse a ellos: 1) Metodologías en la enseñanza del español y de estudios culturales sobre Hispanoamérica y España que incorporen una perspectiva crítica poscolonial. 2) Utilización de medios audiovisuales y digitales para explorar imaginarios emergentes subalternos. 3) Análisis crítico de sitios de redes sociales y plataformas digitales como espacios de producción cultural. 4) Desafíos y oportunidades de la post-digitalidad en la enseñanza de lenguas y culturas.
