Ecos de Europa: la representación parlamentaria en el Chile liberal del siglo XIX

This paper explores the significant influences of European liberalism, and in particular French liberalism, in the Chilean thought and political culture/praxis during the construction of the State in the mid-19th century. It reveals and discusses the significant circulation of ideas that an array of Chilean travelers and exiles in several European countries generated and promoted in Chile in the middle of the 19th century. Among the intellectuals and politicians treated by this article are Andrés Bello, Manuel Antonio Tocornal, Santiago Arcos, Francisco Bilbao, Manuel Antonio Matta and Ángel Custodio Gallo.

Sites of Chemistry in the Nineteenth Century

The three articles in this special issue of Ambix were among the twenty-one papers presented at the conference “Sites of Chemistry in the Nineteenth Century,” held in Valencia at the Institute for the History of Medicine and Science ‘López Piñero’ in July 2012. This meeting was the second of the series of conferences organised as part of the project Sites of Chemistry, 1600–2000, the aim of which was to investigate the wide and diverse range of physical spaces and places where chemistry has been practised from the early modern period to the twentieth century.

Commonplace book of Hector Orr, 1789-1804

Hector Orr began recording entries in this commonplace book during his first year as a student at Harvard and continued writing in the volume sporadically until 1804. The entries written while he was a student, from 1789 to 1792, include themes written on the following topics: Time, Discontent, Patriotism, Virtue, Conscience, Patience, Avarice, Compassion, Mortality, Self-knowledge, Benevolence, Morning, Anger, Profanity, Bribery, Autumn and Winter, Hermitage, Conscience and Anticipation. He also wrote detailed entries about the forensic disputations in which he and his classmates participated, explaining both the affirmative and negative positions. One of these disputations involved discussion of the Stamp Act, which was then quite recent history. Orr's entries about the disputations list the names of students involved and specify their position in the argument.

La historia escolar a inicios del siglo XXI : cambios, pérdidas y conquistas

Este trabajo explora la historia escolar a inicios del siglo XXI analizando sus actuales propósitos, contenidos y prácticas con el fin de señalar sus cambios, conquistas y pérdidas respecto al siglo XX. Focaliza el nivel secundario de la provincia de Buenos Aires a través del análisis de fuentes áulicas, normativas y pedagógicas. El artículo indica que la historia escolar manifiesta el quiebre del código disciplinar configurado a fines del siglo XIX y desarrollado durante gran parte del siglo XX (caracterizado como civilizatorio, patriótico, elitista, fáctico, libresco, memorístico) y presenta cambios que muestran uno nuevo donde cobra relevancia lo contemporáneo y reciente, lo crítico y plural, y lo subjetivo. También señala que la historia escolar evidencia, por un lado, importantes conquistas -en relación con la perspectiva latinoamericana y la historia reciente-, y, por otro, ciertas pérdidas -en relación con la formación de una identidad colectiva y el carácter narrativo.
