SPECIAL ISSUE - ABUSE & POWER IN ECCLESIASTICAL ENVIRONMENTS
Vol. 18 (2023)Abuse in the Church is as old as the institution itself. Still, it was not until the 21st century that it became public with scandals such as the Boston scandal or the Legion of Christ scandal, a case covered up by the highest representatives of the Catholic Church for decades. The scandals and the public testimony of some victims opened a space for many others to remember, to name the abuse, to denounce it, and in some cases, to access some form of reparation.
Towards the end of the 2000s, in European countries, the United States and Australia, different investigative bodies linked to the churches or the State were created, such as restorative justice mechanisms that seek to address this severe problem by emphasizing the restitution of the truth, the recognition of the victims and reparation. At the same time, many cases that had not found a response or that had been directly obstructed in internal investigations of churches and religious communities are being prosecuted, even though the statute of limitations makes it impossible to punish the perpetrators.
In this social, moral, and political context, research in the social and human sciences on what is now called ecclesiastical abuse began to be produced. Although academic production is growing in different parts of the world, in Latin America, there are few publications on this subject, Chile being a hotbed of contributions in the region.
This special issue aims to contribute to this emerging field of study with articles that report, from a disciplinary or interdisciplinary perspective, different dimensions, aspects, and levels of ecclesiastical abuse. The emphasis is placed on systemic elements of abuse, such as power asymmetries, cultures of abuse, gender and generational relations, ambiguities of bonds of affection and dependence, as well as the institutional hierarchies under whose wing these abuses occurred and were often silenced.

SPECIAL ISSUE - COGNITION AND TECHNOLOGY: A 4E PERSPECTIVE
At the beginning of the 21st century we witnessed an exponential technological development that included applications in the fields of education, security, employability, health, personal autonomy, and social relations, among others. All these applications incorporate, implicitly or explicitly, a theory of cognition, that is, a theory of how the mind works and how humans can interact with these technologies. Following this development, new questions regarding technology and its relation to cognition are being posed in the Cognitive Sciences, broadening fields of study and opening new research lines. In particular, the rise of the 4E approach to cognition (embodied, embedded, enactive, and extended) can be noticed in the design of technologies like augmented reality or serious games. At the same time, studies in sensory substitution or social robotics offer innovative insights and theoretical discussions on the nature of cognition. With this special issue, we want to promote the discussion of the connections between technology and cognition from a 4E perspective.
