The Body and Affectivity as Objects of Study in Latin America: Thematic Interests and the Recent Process of Institutionalization
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article does a first mapping of the current state of interest in the body and affectivity in Latin America from the point of view of the social sciences in general and sociology in particular. The allusion to Latin America is not as a geographical entity, but rather an analysis of a regional institutional channel for sociology: the Latin American Sociology Association. The article underlines how, at the same time that internationally shared horizons for interpretation that have taken a turn toward these topics prevail, specific regional characteristics can be discerned, related to social problems, focuses on specific historic experiences, particular theoretical frameworks, and precedents of the institutionalization of themes that are precursors in these areas.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
