A fundamental distinction between authoritarianism and democracy lies in the fact that the former arranges its norms and institutions to inhibit and prevent conflict, or to repress and conceal it if prevention is not possible. Democracy, on the other hand, not only recognizes conflict but embraces it, creating instruments that allow for its effective resolution, based on the establishment of its causes and the interests involved, seeking ways through which such interests, whose opposition generates conflict, can lead to situations that, even if temporarily, achieve compatibility and functionality. There is no doubt that the democratic alternative is more difficult and arduous than the authoritarian perspective, but in return, it is the only one that can aspire to effective and integrating solutions, meaning that the diversity and contradiction of interests in increasingly complex societies allow us to continue living together in peace.

Researchers from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico study the inseparable link between materialities, emotions, and conflicts, allowing for a novel reading of the historical, political, and social processes that have shaped the destiny of our countries.

For over twenty years, the Alberto Hurtado University Excellence in Journalism Award has selected distinguished journalists, editors, professors, and communication thinkers to choose – as pre-jurors and final jurors – those journalistic works that go above and beyond: those that uncover causes, consequences, and trends, that reveal what is happening and that show the seeds of what is to come. This book is a prime example of this: the texts contained herein, winners and finalists in the Written Journalism categories of Investigation, Reportage, Chronicle, and Interview, bring the hidden to light and apply the flashlight and magnifying glass so that we can clearly see what is being hidden from us, or what we could not or did not want to see.

Through the biographies of seven female researchers: Lorena Lobos (Biochemist), Brigitte Van Zundert (Molecular Biologist), Francisca Blanco (Plant Pathologist), Paula Celis (Marine Biologist), Jocelyn Dunstan (Physicist), Natalia Inostroza (Astrochemist), and Teresa Paneque (Astronomer), they review their paths, school experiences, academic training, hobbies and life projects, glimpsing where their scientific vocation and research interests are born, but also how, despite difficulties, they have faced challenges to become outstanding experts in their fields of knowledge, thus questioning traditional gender roles. Furthermore, for science educators interested in incorporating a gender perspective, a detailed analysis of the school curriculum is included.
