Atentique´s environmental and economic development shrinkage in globlalization era

This paper focuses on the effects the transfer of ownership from a state‐owned Paper Mill Company to a corporate private ownership has had on environmental and economic shrinkage in Atenquique. This transfer was the result of the ongoing economic process of globalization, after the industrial boom of the paper mills during the second half of the last century. The paper also focuses on how the employees of this Paper Mill Company live and how they have been affected by globalization and how they feel about their paper mill’s new corporate owners. The methodology used was descriptive and exploratory. A sample of ten workers at the company who lived in Atenquique was chosen for an interview. After being inhabited the town of Atenquique developed in terms of population, society and economy. On the other hand the Industrial Company of Atenquique grew during the period when it was a property of the Mexican State. After the company’s privatization, the town started to decline and shrink in three above‐mentioned variables. The impact on the environmental and economic development has initiated the shrinking and declining of Atenquique and the surrounding cities and towns.

Boedo y Florida en las páginas de Los Pensadores

En la Argentina tuvo lugar entre 1924 y 1930 una polémica literario–política centrada en las revistas Martín Fierro, por un lado y Los Pensadores y Claridad por el otro, referente al objetivo de la literatura y su papel en la sociedad, aspectos que ejemplifican posiciones diferentes frente a lo real, la literatura como tarea y la obra como comunicación y portadora de significado. Los dos grupos intentaron legitimar sus objetivos frente a lo canónico: Florida atacó los modelos modernista, realista y los residuos románticos, y Boedo trató de ampliar la noción de público literario. Sin embargo, la disputa motivó más leyendas que vanguardias. En esta oportunidad nos interesa analizar, desde la perspectiva de la historia de la ideas y centrados en Los Pensadores, la mencionada polémica como expresión propia de la época.
