El papel de India frente a la persecución etnico-religiosa en Tíbet durante 1960-1966

La persecución que se desarrolla en Tíbet desde la llegada del régimen comunista, ha generado un desacuerdo de la sociedad occidental frente a las políticas hostiles en contra de la etnia tibetana. Sin embargo, la violencia sistemática y lo que es considerado por muchos como genocidio, es utilizado como instrumento estratégico en política exterior. En este caso, la presente monografía busca analizar cómo el tema de los refugiados tibetanos en India, su lucha y denuncia a nivel internacional es la oportunidad a principios de la década del 60, para generar presión internacional en contra de la República Popular China, en la búsqueda del mantenimiento de la seguridad nacional (caso indio), además de un mayor status y prestigio.

Innovative practices in Psychiatry. Argentina, 1960-1970

The paper analyzes innovative psychiatric practices that took place in Argentina during the sixties and seventies at the Hospital Jose Esteves in the province of Buenos Aires. Objective: To present the coexistence of different paradigms related to mental health in the same institution and to analyze the complexities generated by this scenario. Methodology: This study uses primary sources in the form of medical records of patients admitted to the hospital between 1960 and 1979. The medical records were cross-referenced with publications of newspapers and magazines of the time. Results: The analysis shows that the political environment during the era of militarydictatorship —characterized by ideological persecution and the inhibition of political expression— influenced the development of innovative psychiatric practices. At the same time, instances ofanti-Semitism and ideological persecution among health workers affected therapeutic approaches. Conclusions: While the introduction of innovative practices in mental health led to someresistance among the more orthodox psychiatrists, the presence of different paradigms shows a plan, both political and professional, to transform psychiatry and admission policy in Argentina.

About the Triple A. Argentina 1973 - 1976

On May 25, 1973, Peronism returned to govern Argentina after about two decades of prohibition and political persecution. After its establishment, certain crimes began to be signed with “AAA”. The Triple A adopted the particularity of disappearing with the coup on March 24 1976. Why could this organization only exist in a democracy erected in the middle of two military dictatorships? Why did it exist during the very wished Peronist government? The article offers an approach to the Triple A, that is, from the perspectives of history, sociology and politics. It seeks to unravel the socio-historical conditions of the Triple A by analyzing the international, ideological, utilitarian and strategic factors. Our hypothesis is that this illegal group failed in trying a strategy of non-state conducted repression, which ended up legitimizing the coup option crowned on March 24, 1976.
