The Dyad School Success/Failure in the Academic Development of the Working Class Women from Mendoza

The notion of academic performance renders account of the results achieved by the students during their school education.  Internally, there are two opposed phenomena:  school success and school failure.  Sociology of education has contributed to the discussion of both notions revealing their social nature closely related to the institutional and socio-cultural contexts in which education is developed.  This paper is the result of a research project conducted for our doctoral thesis.  Its purpose is to contribute to enlighten the scopes of this discussion, by analyzing the school development of a group of working class women from Mendoza. We were interested, in the first place, in knowing the reasons why they quit school when they were young girls or adolescents.  Subsequently, we have approached the opportunities they had to access the system again during their adulthood, the obstacles they had to face and the resources to be able to complete the medium level.

Los intelectuales apristas y la cultura popular. Un acercamiento a las reflexiones de Luis Alberto Sánchez y Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre

En el período de entreguerras, la ruptura con el positivismo por parte de numerosos pensadores produjo la emergencia de discursos relegitimadores de los sectores populares en todo el Continente. Este artículo aborda, desde una perspectiva de análisis del discurso, el pensamiento sobre el problema del indigenismo de dos intelectuales identificados con el aprismo: Luis Alberto Sánchez y Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre. En este sentido, se intenta señalar continuidades y rupturas con otras corrientes indigenistas y analizar las estrategias discursivas presentes en los escritos apristas, cuyas particularidades están dadas por los intentos de construcción un partido político nacional/ continental.
