Exilio y autotraducción en la narrativa testimonial concentracionaria argentina : El caso de The Little School. Tales of Disappearance and Survival in Argentina, de Alicia Partnoy (1986)

Algunos escritores exiliados a partir de la última dictadura militar argentina (1976-1983) tradujeron ellos mismos sus textos para publicarlos en el país de exilio. Un ejemplo es el de Alicia Partnoy, autora de The Little School. Tales of Disappearance & Survival in Argentina, quien habiendo escrito un testimonio en español sobre su paso por el campo de concentración La Escuelita, ubicado en Bahía Blanca, se dedicó a traducirlo al inglés para su publicación en Estados Unidos en 1986. Sus numerosas ediciones, primero en el extranjero y más tarde en Argentina, lo ubican entre una de las obras más importantes de la narrativa testimonial concentracionaria argentina. Una forma de abordarlo reside en el análisis sobre el proceso y el resultado de la autotraducción, lo cual permite aportar elementos de reflexión acerca de la necesidad de los supervivientes exiliados de dar a conocer su experiencia en el exilio, algo que sobrepasa, incluso, las barreras lingüísticas

Analysis and visualization of the dynamics of research groups in terms of projects and co-authored publications : A case study of library and information science in Argentina

Objective: The present study offers a novel methodological contribution to the study of the configuration and dynamics of research groups, through a comparative perspective of the projects funded (inputs) and publication co-authorships (output). Method: A combination of bibliometric techniques and social network analysis was applied to a case study: the Departmento de Bibliotecología (DHUBI), Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina, for the period 2000-2009. The results were interpreted statistically and staff members of the department, were interviewed. Results: The method makes it possible to distinguish groups, identify their members and reflect group make-up through an analytical strategy that involves the categorization of actors and the interdisciplinary and national or international projection of the networks that they configure. The integration of these two aspects (input and output) at different points in time over the analyzed period leads to inferences about group profiles and the roles of actors. Conclusions: The methodology presented is conducive to micro-level interpretations in a given area of study, regarding individual researchers or research groups. Because the comparative input-output analysis broadens the base of information and makes it possible to follow up, over time, individual and group trends, it may prove very useful for the management, promotion and evaluation of science

History of professional guidance in Argentina

Professional guidance has developed in Argentina since 1940, influenced by the guidance which in that time came from Spain, France, Belgium and Switzerland. The paper analyzes the first experiences in professional guidance, developed both in the great industrial cities as Buenos Aires and Rosario, and little urban centres as Tucumán or San Luis. The institutional and political context of such experiences is also analyzed, as well as the State's full support of them.
