Self-directed learning requires, in spite of everything, other people around the student. This collaboration, therefore, is not opposed but complementary with respect to the learning process and the application of the acquired knowledge. The article suggests some guidelines to strengthen self-directed learning through the transformation of the curriculum, instruction, and evaluation in the current information society.

This article seeks to inform about the process carried out with the project Characterization of the Role of the Psychologist in the Department of Meta: Challenges and Qualification Needs in the Face of a Conflict and postconflict scenario carried out by the Universidad Santo Tomas, Villavicencio, during the year 2016. Participants included 83 psychology professionals from the Piedemonte, Centro Capital, and Ariari regions of the department of Meta, Colombia, as well as institutions and related leaders in the care processes. From a mixed research approach, semi-structured interviews were applied to professionals from the three subregions, as well as a discussion group with experts from institutions associated with the psychological care process to address the challenges in a post-conflict setting. The objective was to characterize the role of the psychologist in the department of Meta in order to identify the disciplinary and professional profile within the processes for human and regional development, in conflict and postconflict scenarios with the support of the university as a social institution Responsible for reading a competency approach.

This article presents the current situation and the social perspective of the social actors who inherit the armed conflict in the department of Meta. This research aims to develop constructs that promote the active role of social actors in the construction and development of peace agreements. For this, interviews and focus groups were conducted in order to demonstrate the necessity for active participation so that compliance with the agreement is ensured and, in turn, citizen supervision and control strategies are proposed under the terms of the agreement with regard to the victims.

Álvaro de Campos is the most well-known and widely disseminated heteronym of the writer Fernando Pessoa, his irreverent and revolutionary work is not a product of chance, but has at its base a theoretical, ideological and political support that plays an important role for the "Drama em gente". Apart from the fact that at the current moment it has repercussions that surprise the exegete, it is perhaps the most ambitious project of Pessoa. The present article is then an analysis of the poem "Tabacaria" from Campos, in the light of the Pessoan concept of "Drama em gente". The heteronymy and the aesthetic problem on the poetry of Campos, made it necessary to divide the text in three parts which are: introduction and presentation of the Portuguese poet, the definition of the project "Drama em gente" and the role of Álvaro de Campos within this universe, and a sensationist interpretation of "Tabacaria".

This article seeks to propose a popular reading of the work of Pedro Lemebel (1952-2015), Chilean writer and artist. Addressing the notion of popular art and literature in its aesthetic sense, a global reading of the author's artistic production is proposed. Focus will be made on some of his chronicles, art actions and his poem “Manifesto, I speak for my difference” in order to understand the specific aspects of his production that account for an eminently popular project and the way in which Lemebel does not only from his writing, but also from his position and figure has become the heritage of the Chilean oppressed class. 

In the following text I will analyze a Colombian magazine of literary nature, Chanchito: Illustrated Magazine for Children (1933-1934) with the purpose of demonstrating that it formulated an enlightened national project addressed to Colombian children, whose values were inherited from the Spanish and academic tradition characteristic of the nineteenth century and the Regeneration period. Thus, this study suggests the importance of newspapers and magazines as relevant objects of study when understanding Colombian historiography, as well as the relevance of the archive and its practices for certain recent research and analysis of literary studies. 

Analyze to what extent the Ibero-American Short Storytelling currently possesses, like the novel, the tendency towards “Black Literature”. Also, explore how the novel of the hard-boiled genre, and some of its authors, have influenced the proliferation of contemporary Ibero-American storytelling. Bearing in mind, that in the 20th century, several famous writers of Spanish and Portuguese languages emerged, who write about this topic.

The object of this research is to analyze the discursive strategies of lexicalization and metaphorization in the news referring to the feminicides of the Q'hubo newspaper of the year 2015; and its relationship with the concepts of ideology and discourse, in the light of authors such as Teun Van Dijk and Norman Fairclough.  For this, the proposed method was the critical discourse analysis, from the socio-cognitive school. The importance of this work lies in elucidating how the media, through the use of these discursive strategies achieve to perform a relevant ideological task, by inducing polarization processes that legitimize social practices that are maintained and that in turn establish a certain social order. In Colombia, the phenomenon of femicide has been the object of study by several disciplines due to its hideous recurrence. Therefore, it is essential to approach it from the linguistic component and its influence on the processes of cognitive structuring, to understand the survival of a patriarchal culture that takes the body of women as a territory of violence.
