François Dépelteau is a major figure in the contemporary rise of relational scholarship. His untimely passing casts a shadow over the relational research community, particularly those with close ties to the Canadian sociological association research cluster. This paper seeks to honour the contribution and legacy of François through a relational analysis of a relational research community. Mobilising Eacott’s relational approach, this paper turns relational scholarship upon itself to argue that the relational research community is organised around two fundamental questions – the explanatory and the empirical. François was not only embedded in, but embodied, this relationality. His approach to scholarship serves as an invitation, an invitation to think with, through and where necessary against relations in the pursuit of offering generative insights. François generated the conditions for many previously disparate researchers to come together and the challenge has now shifted to us – the relational research community – to honour him and continue this research agenda.

Between 1450 and 1620, the African and European coasts of the Mediterranean Sea showed a world in constant movement, in which Christian and Muslim inheritances crossed and strained, creating a complex network of cultural, economic, social and political relations. The sources of the time bear witness to this frontier world, underlining the value of the captive as an emblematic character, since his figure transforms the life experience into a social and community testimony. Hence, it is possible to approach these stories on the basis of the relationship between "testimonial-trauma story", within an ideological context and religious beliefs characterized by the so-called "effectiveness of discourse", which I analyze from the "sensory turn" that historical research has taken in recent years, which allowed the recognition of new phenomena and objects of study, including the senses and, in my particular case, in the definition and identification of sensory marks, which embody the suffering of Christian captives in the hands of Muslims: sound, visual, olfactory, gustatory, tactile and affective marks allow me to reconstruct, from an intersensory approach, the analyzed sources, both unpublished (Los Milagros de Guadalupe, preserved in the Archive of the Royal Monastery of Guadalupe ) and published (Tratado de la redencion de cautivos and Peregrinacion de Anastasio, written by Jeronimo Gracian Dantisco), hat configure the sensory model of an era.

1450年至1620年间，地中海的非洲和欧洲海岸展现了一个不断运动的世界，在这个世界中，基督教和穆斯林的遗产相互交叉和紧张，形成了一个复杂的文化、经济、社会和政治关系网络。时间的来源见证了这个前沿世界，强调了俘虏作为一个象征性人物的价值，因为他的形象将生活经历转化为社会和社区的见证。因此，有可能在意识形态背景下，基于“证明创伤故事”与以所谓“话语有效性”为特征的宗教信仰之间的关系来处理这些故事，包括感官，在我的特殊情况下，在感官标记的定义和识别中，这些标记体现了穆斯林手中基督徒俘虏的痛苦：声音、视觉、嗅觉、味觉、触觉和情感标记使我能够从感官间的方法重建分析的来源，未出版的（Los Milagros de Guadalupe，保存在瓜达卢佩皇家修道院档案馆）和出版的（Tratado de la redencion de cautivos and Peregrinacion de Anastasio，Jeronimo Gracian Dantisco著），构成了一个时代的感官模型。文章视频摘要：https://youtu.be/gJiVHODjeo8

Social suffering has become in the past decades a key topic in various disciplines of the humanities, leading to a number of debates on its (still contested) status within social analysis and normative philosophy. Problems of this sort are especially relevant in view of the fact that experiences of suffering have become a central figure of political life in many parts of the globe. This introduction provides an overview of these discussions and presents the articles included in this special issue.

Cultural Studies and Game Studies analyses of video games often pay attention to the rules that articulate these media texts, the computer code used to write these games, and the visual and aural components utilised to represent game worlds and, sometimes, tell stories. All of these elements have a definite impact on the ways ideology is produced and reproduced by video games and, yet, the tactile interactions required to play games are often forgotten. This article highlights the importance of tactility when analysing identity discourses present in video games and expands forms of understanding representation beyond visual and sound-based components.

The work done by the Kellys, or apartment waitresses/cleaners, is characterised by it lying in what could be called “care work”, despite being completely undertaken in the production field and forming a vital part of the tourism sector. Their case is a clear example of the intersection between precarious work and the invisibility of some tasks that have been historically and culturally appointed to women and condemned to social scorn. In today’s context, it is worth considering the social conditions underlying this group of workers and the implications that stem from their situation of invisibility in such a precarious sector as the tourism one in the Spanish State, and the role played by the Kellys, as an association, to claim these female workers’ employment rights. We will analyse their particular case as a clear example of the socio-political movement that struggles to make their care work visible and contributes to the repoliticisation of their work in the public domain.

The introduction to the special issue taps into discussions about the inseparability of science and fiction. Commencing from the idea that scientific statements are distinguished from fiction only a posteriori, not a priori, the piece asks, how fiction could be used as a theoretical resource in social scientific thinking. Could it inform, enrich, extend, intensify, and challenge the sociological imagination? Besides rejecting any clear-cut separation of social science and fictional and artistic forms, the text seeks to unsettle our certainty as to what counts as “fact” and what as “fiction” in the first place. It also suggests that examining the relationship of sociology and fictional and artistic forms helps us unsettle the institutionalized disciplinary ways of ordering knowledge and thought and that there may be a poetics or fiction to be uncovered in sociological scholarship, as sociology is also a form of storytelling.

The article examines the six-volume autobiographical novel cycle My Struggle by the contemporary Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgaard as a case of parrh?sia, that is, telling the truth about oneself. The novel poses writing as a problem, in terms of truth. By exploring through My Struggle the preconditions, consequences, and difficulty of speaking the truth and how the practice may contravene social norms, the paper tries to get at the role that secrecy and truthfulness play in and for social relationships. In exposing his innermost thoughts, feelings, and desires and revealing family secrets for everyone to see and read about them, Knausgaard exceeded rules that govern sociality and felt obliged to be inconsiderate to others, on whom the parrhesiast practice nevertheless always depends. Ultimately, the novel is a freedom experiment that fails, transcending the boundary between art and life, literature and the social.

El presente escrito tiene por objetivo analizar los sentidos vinculados al uso del dinero de los destinatarios de los Programas de Transferencias Condicionadas de Ingresos (PTCI) en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires desde la mirada de los técnicos que participaron en el diseño e implementación de tales programas. Para llevar a cabo nuestro propósito, se trabajará con entrevistas en profundidad a técnicos de los dos PTCI de mayor envergadura de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (Ciudadanía Porteña y Asignación Universal por Hijo). En esta línea se analizarán los sentidos positivos atribuidos a la bancarización, el temor por el uso correcto/incorrecto de las transferencias, así como la concepción del dinero como forma homogénea de resolver diversas problemáticas del mundo social. Se concluye considerando no solo el carácter compensatorio de las intervenciones, sino también los modos en que el temor y la desconfianza convierten lo “personal” en blanco predilecto de la política social.

En los tiempos actuales de la globalización, el Capital presenta transformaciones profundas en su naturaleza, acumulación y circulación, entre las cuales la digitalización se cuenta entre las más decisivas. Al mismo tiempo, sobre esa tela de fondo de las nuevas formas del Capital y, entretejida con ellas, tiene lugar una metamorfosis de enorme calado sobre la concepción del espacio público. Al respecto, pretendemos analizar la noción de “ágora virtual” (Mitchell) para explorar cómo la política se transforma en el tiempo del nuevo Capital desmaterializado. Desde esta perspectiva, estudiaremos algunas modelizaciones que adquiere la esfera pública de la política en el mundo de las plataformas digitales tomando como hilo conductor dos casos paradigmáticos: el nuevo ágora como espacio de lo político virtualizado y el ciudadano como actante en los medios cibernéticos. Estas mutaciones serán tomadas en consideración según un trasfondo filosófico-político preciso: por un lado, bajo la inspiración de los análisis de Walter Benjamin acerca del capitalismo como fenómeno teológico-político y, por otro, a partir de la noción de “dispositivo” propuesta por el filósofo italiano Giorgio Agamben en su arqueología de la oikonomia como gestión de la vida en las sociedades contemporáneas.
