Argentina's publicly-funded "science" [EXPLAINED]

Post by Skeptic5001 »

Highlighted excerpts say
"Communitary theatrical practices and memory"
For the nerds: The word "memory" in the context of social sciences in Argentina refers to the idea of remembering the "30,000 missing people™ " of the 1970's dictatorship; a number as reliable and unquestionable as that of the holocaust. Funny how they want you to remember the fact that they got a free helicopter ride but not the bombs these innocent folks planted in public places as part of a socialist revolution.
"Cyber-and-hack-tivisms. Assortment of subjectivities, trajectories and lore in cyber-resistances"
"GENDER IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ECO-TECHNOLOGIES"
(It was in uppercase)

And my personal favourite:
"Is it full of faggots, trannies, sissies, indians and niggers?" Processes and practices of politization of dissident sexualities in the province of Jujuy, Argentina.

Social representations in child film [sic]: Nationality, race, culture and class in “The Lion King”

Now, you may be wondering why some of the titles don't appear to make much sense. Is it a mistake on my end? Couldn't I have paraphrased it in a more palatable way for an anglophone audience? Perhaps. But I chose to leave it that way to show you the level of buzzwording that accompanies the social "sciences" in our country. In all fairness, we can't blame them; it's a common Argentinian practice to use buzzwords in order to impress others or get a higher grade on a test.

As you can imagine, this is what the people who run these projects look like:
