Objetivo: visibilizar, historizar y proponer claves analíticas sobre el trabajo realizado por las misioneras en la Araucanía poscolonial. Este artículo presenta avances de una investigación en curso sobre los discursos y prácticas de misioneras católicas y anglicanas que gestionaron escuelas e internados en la Araucanía entre 1890 y 1950. Metodología: proponemos tanto la problematización de claves de lectura teóricas como la sistematización de un corpus de archivos históricos que serán analizados desde un enfoque epistemológico en los estudios de género. En el primer apartado, expondremos antecedentes históricos y contextuales; luego, presentaremos un corpus de archivos (cartas y revistas) que muestra el trabajo de estas misioneras en un contexto (pos)colonial en el cual la crianza y la educación de los niños/as mapuche se vuelve una cuestión política fundamental; en un tercer apartado, propondremos la figura de “la familia nacional” como clave analítica de las relaciones género-raza involucradas en la construcción de las estrategias paradójicas de estas misioneras. Originalidad: el trabajo pone en evidencia la casi nula atención que ha recibido por parte de las investigaciones especializadas el trabajo y discursos de estas mujeres como creadoras de “ciudadanos morales” para la nación. Conclusiones: concluiremos sugiriendo la noción de “estrategias fronterizas” para problematizar los usos de misioneras católicas y anglicanas de las retóricas del sacrificio, la movilidad y la maternidad.

The commemoration of the 50 years since the coup d’état in Chile was accompanied by a debate over the necessity of better understanding the distinct facets of the government of Salvador Allende (1970-1973). For decades, inevitable political considerations blocked a multidimensional comprehension of the Unidad Popular (UP), feeding binary narratives and mythological accounts. Traditional historiography has adopted an institutional perspective, focused on the system of political parties and the role of the most visible protagonists. In the international sphere, a key dimension of UP foreign policy, closer to third worldism than to adherence to the Socialist block, has been overshadowed. Fortunately, over the past decade access to new sources (including oral history) has opened up new interpretations that have complicated the portrayal of the "Chilean route". This essay centers on two new tendencies: the “revolution from below”, that has allowed us to recover the roll of actors and structures neglected by institutional histories. Through relatively autonomous actions, such as industrial cordons, indigenous communities and peasant organizations, among others, were able to deploy a mobilization parallel to official actions, radicalizing the program of the “Chilean revolution”. The second paradigm is the “inter-American” dimension of the international insertion of the UP, an approach that invites us to rethink the model of the Cold War and demystify functional narratives accounts that seek to ascribe each political experience to one of the two powers in dispute.

Identifying regions of the human genome that have been targets of natural selection will provide important insights into human evolutionary history and may facilitate the identification of complex disease genes. Although the signature that natural selection imparts on DNA sequence variation is difficult to disentangle from the effects of neutral processes such as population demographic history, selective and demographic forces can be distinguished by analyzing multiple loci dispersed throughout the genome. We studied the molecular evolution of 132 genes by comprehensively resequencing them in 24 African-Americans and 23 European-Americans. We developed a rigorous computational approach for taking into account multiple hypothesis tests and demographic history and found that while many apparent selective events can instead be explained by demography, there is also strong evidence for positive or balancing selection at eight genes in the European-American population, but none in the African-American population. Our results suggest that the migration of modern humans out of Africa into new environments was accompanied by genetic adaptations to emergent selective forces. In addition, a region containing four contiguous genes on Chromosome 7 showed striking evidence of a recent selective sweep in European-Americans. More generally, our results have important implications for mapping genes underlying complex human diseases.

Based on the “Portraits of reading in Brazil” by the Institute Pró-Livro, the relations between orality, scripturality and visuality in Brazilian culture are discussed. We approach the issue of digital reading in the light of initial researches presented by Wolf (2019) and make an assumption of a post-literary culture in formation in Brazil that needs protection for the preservation and development of reading and imagination skills.
