Sacrificio y ejemplaridad. Comprendiendo los fenómenos de Leonel Messi y Diego A Maradona

Leo Messi y Diego Maradona, son dos grandes deportistas que han alcanzado fama mundial. En parte, si bien esa fama les da a los argentinos cierta posición de privilegio respecto al futbol, no menos cierto es que se los estima de diversas maneras. El arquetipo del padre de la fe y del héroe trágico acuñados por Kierkegaard da una ruta conceptual clara y pertinente al estudio de los ídolos contemporáneos como así también esboza una crítica al deporte moderno como revitalizador ideológico de las fallas o frustraciones que se ha multiplicado por acción del capitalismo.

The management of bone tools from the Bronze Age site of El Portalón of Cueva Mayor, Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos

In this paper we analyze the set of Bronze Age bone tools recovered at the archaeological site of El Portalón of Cueva Mayor in the Sierra de Atapuerca (Burgos). The Bronze Age cultural period is the best represented in the cavity and its study has forced us to unify the different excavation and stratigraphical criteria undertaken from the earliest archaeological excavations developed by J.M. Apellániz during the 70s until the excavations of the current research team (EIA) since 2000. We propose here for the first time a relationship between the initial system of “beds” used by Apellániz and our recent sedimentary sequence that recognizes eleven stratigraphic levels radiometrically dated from the late Upper Pleistocene to the Middle Age. Within the bone industry assemblage we recognize a large variety of utensils and ornamental elements, with native and allochthonous features, that make evident a regional as well as long distance relationships of these populations of the interior of the Iberian Peninsula during the recent Prehistory.
