Este artículo analiza el auge de tráfico marítimo en el Pacífico mexicano durante la fiebre de oro. Durante la parte tardía de la década de 1840 y a principios de la de 1850, la cantidad de barcos que fondeaban en el litoral del oeste mexicano se incrementó como consecuencia de la masiva migración que se dio hacia el norte de California. Lo anterior trajo consigo un crecimiento comercial en puertos como Mazatlán, San Blas y Acapulco. El artículo argumenta, no obstante, que dicho auge distó de traer una bonanza permanente para esa zona de México. El empuje de las compañías comerciales de México y Estados Unidos y el rápido posicionamiento de San Francisco como eje comercial pronto inhibieron el incipiente crecimiento en la venta de bienes y las exportaciones.

El artículo estudia las transformaciones que experimentó la figura de los jueces de paz en Rosario (Santa Fe, Argentina) entre 1852 y 1872. Se mostrará que estos cambios no respondieron a decisiones reglamentarias y judiciales, sino que deben ser pensados en el contexto de cómo se fue modificando la forma en que se gobernaba la ciudad. El objetivo que persigue esta investigación es examinar las redefiniciones de las funciones de estos jueces a partir de una reconstrucción del entramado de relaciones —políticas, judiciales, policiales, administrativas, etc.— en las cuales se hallaban insertos.

: This study aims to introduce Santayana to present-day North American Hispanists, from whose perspective it analyzes the hybrid or two-pronged nature of his work and life. Santayana offers a paradigmatic mode of being Hispanic and being American, which could be of significant interest: his life and work do not contain nostalgia and alienation but, rather, liberation and release. This study also examines the bilingualism that can be found in all of the translations of his work into Spanish (in both Latin America and Spain), and in his secondary bibliography (works cited as well as the list of publications included as an appendix.) [A]s a thinker I was born at the wrong time and bred in the wrong way. I like to hope that someone may later revive parts of my philosophy in more favorable circumstances.

The construction of dwellings of varied quality and permanence in close association with specialized ceremonial spaces at both large huaca centers and expansive hillside settlements in the Jequetepeque Valley points to alternate and diverse conceptions of sacred and everyday space in the Moche world. In particular, residential constructions varied according to their degree of permanence and the temporality of domestic occupation. The Jequetepeque data demonstrate that archaeologists must consider the cultural embeddedness of residential practices as well as indigenous conceptions of domestic space. In the end, the domestic realm exhibited formidable diversity among the Moche (and in Andean prehistory in general), both in regards to its cultural construction and in relationship to the social and religious status of its inhabitants.

I create murals that look like azulejos, depicting caravels and many decorative features seen in traditional azulejos, but my murals are made entirely of sugar. I make the sugar tiles and hand paint them with edible inks. I am interested in the azulejo, specifically with imagery of ships, as a symbol of colonial power and of national pride (the Nation of Portugal), but only for the means to subvert this pride. I developed this work in Brazil, addressing the country’s history of colonization and the slave trade that supported Portugal’s sugar empire. I continue to use the blue tile reference, even outside the context of Brazil, because I want to reference the general construct of colonization and slavery, showing how oppression has found new forms. I install my ephemeral murals on city walls, where they wash away, fade, crumble and decay, animating a more realistic version of history.

Observando o contexto argentino durante o governo ditatorial de Juan Manuel Rosas (1793-1877), buscaremos primeiramente compreender as motivações que levaram alguns opositores políticos a fugirem para outros países. Dentre estes fugitivos, daremos destaque à figura de Joanna Paula Manso de Noronha (1819-1875) e seu exílio no Brasil. Ao escrever o romance histórico argentino Mistérios do Prata (1846) e fundar O Jornal das Senhoras (1852-1855), Manso não só divulgou as suas leitoras o contexto argentino, mas também publicou seu ponto de vista sobre o papel da mulher na sociedade carioca, permitindo, em um segundo momento, identificarmos a circularidade e a importância de seus ideais e ideias através da imprensa em meados do Oitocentos.

The article documents the origin and evolution of the “Student Approach to Learning” (SAL). This trend in research began with the Gothenburg School then spread to Edinburgh and Australia. The ground-breaking authors and their studies are highlighted, and emphasis is given to the pioneering research that was done in Spain, in the Spanish language. This study provides a solid background that should serve as a basis for researchers in Colombia and Latin America who want to emulate what was done in SAL, as well as the pioneering research that was produced in Spain.

Se analiza el proceso de incorporación de los territorios del desierto de Atacama al Estado chileno, discutiendo la implementación del sistema educacional en el Departamento de El Loa durante las primeras mitad del s. XX. Se propone desde la documentación histórica que tanto el municipio de Calama, los agentes locales y la población atacameña articularon la institución escolar chilena, activando una serie de proyectos e iniciativas educativas locales como la edificación de recintos escolares sin el apoyo gubernamental, contradiciendo los discursos de eficiencia que argumentaba el Estado desde la metrópolis.   We analyze the process of incorporation of the territories of the Atacama Desert in Chile, by considering the implementation of the educational system in the Departamento de El Loa during the first half of Twenty Century. Based on historical documentation we propose that was the Municipality of Calama, local agents and the atacamenians who articulated the Chilean school at regional level, becoming relevant actors, which contradicts the discourse of efficiency and effectiveness of the State from the metropolis.

Esta contribución tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre el status de la historia social en la primera década del siglo XXI, después del fuerte impacto de las corrientes revisionistas de las últimas décadas del siglo XX en la construcción del conocimiento histórico, que produjeron una devaluación de la importancia y alcance del adjetivo “social” desde el punto de vista teórico, empírico e inclusive político. Estas reflexiones se enmarcan en un contexto caracterizado por las profundas transformaciones que han experimentado las sociedades contemporáneas y a las que la disciplina histórica ha respondido con nuevos enfoques, renovados presupuestos metodológicos y dudas epistemológicas. Esta empresa implica una redefinición y revitalización del concepto de lo social, reconfiguración disciplinar que involucró, entre otros, los siguientes aspectos: un renovado deslizamiento hacia lo social como categoría analítica central, la tendencia hacia aproximaciones transnacionales y la politización de los procesos sociales.

Regarding the pain of others challenges our knowledge, challenges what is held as true. We appreciate this attitude condensed in the verb “to defy”. We analyze how Sontag develops her hypothesis and, from that point onward, which is the idea of criticism that emerges from the writing of Regarding the pain of others. Our analysis focuses on three of its topics: the reviewing of the ideas about the war that Virginia Woolf establishes on Three Guineas, the discussion of her own text On photography, and the criticism about Sebastião Salgado’s photography.
