Juventud en áreas rurales de Argentina : impacto de los cambios ocurridos en la década del noventa

Los objetivos de los programas y políticas de desarrollo rural pueden plantearse como la búsqueda de mayor 'bienestar' y diminución de la población en condiciones de pobreza. La situación de los jóvenes es al mismo tiempo parte de estos objetivos e indicador de las consecuencias de las políticas aplicadas. Durante la década de los noventa, se produjeron importantes cambios políticos, económicos y sociales, junto con transformaciones importantes en la agricultura. Esos cambios tuvieron impactos analizados para ámbitos urbanos, pero poco discutidos sobre los jovenes rurales. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el impacto de las transformaciones mencionadas sobre la situación de los jóvenes rurales, buscando discutir las derivaciones para el diseño de políticas y proyectos de desarrollo rural. Los resultados permiten concluir que la situación de desventaja de los jóvenes rurales se funda en determinaciones estructurales por la menor presencia del Estado que se mantuvo durante los noventa. El tipo de crecimiento agrícola no resultó transferido al conjunto de los jóvenes rurales, persistió la pobreza y se agravaron las condiciones de empleo. Los procesos migratorios hacia Buenos Aires no necesariamente se tradujeron en la incorporación a un mercado de trabajo diferente. Los proyectos de desarrollo en su actual adscripción al enfoque territorial debieran realizar esfuerzos para integrar a los jóvenes rurales a las políticas universales, de manera de asegurar los derechos básicos incluyendo el acceso a la tierra. La provisión de empleos dignos y posibilidades de estudio en los lugares de origen son las únicas garantías de que las migraciones sean opciones libres y voluntarias. Sin embargo, las migraciones de jóvenes rurales hacia las urbes pueden ser inevitables y es necesario capitalizarlos antes de su partida. Las derivaciones para la política pública deben considerarse como generales y rediscutidas a la luz de heterogeneidades de diverso tipo que nuevas investigaciones pueden retomar

Press, politic, and social order in Buenos Aires during the 1850s

The paper examines some reflections and discussions about the role and nature of the press that took place in Buenos Aires during the 1850s, referring to the difficulties involved in congenial freedom and order. This was caused by the fact that the press was considered a pillar of republican and civilized societies, but also an agent capable of corroding the social and political order.

Breaking New Ground: The First Generation of Women to Work as Professional Authors in English Canada (1880-1920)

In the later decades of the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth, large numbers of Canadian women were stepping out of the shadows of private life and into the public world of work and political action. Among them, both a cause and an effect of these sweeping social changes, was the first generation of Canadian women to work as professional authors. Although these women were not unified by ideology, genre, or date of birth, they are studied here as a generation defined by their time and place in history, by their material circumstances, and by their collective accomplishment. Chapters which focus on E. Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake), the Eaton sisters (Sui Sin Far and Onoto Watanna), Joanna E. Wood, and Sara Jeannette Duncan explore some of the many commonalities and interrelationships among the members of this generation as a whole. This project combines archival research with analytical bibliography in order to clarify and extend our knowledge of Johnson’s and Duncan’s professional lives and publishing histories, and to recover some of Wood’s “lost” stories. This research offers a preliminary sketch of the long tradition of the platform performance (both Native and non-Native) with which Johnson and others engaged. It explores the uniquely innovative ethnographic writings of Johnson, Duncan, and the Eaton sisters, among others, and it explores thematic concerns which relate directly to the experiences of working women. Whether or not I convince other scholars to treat these authors as a generation, with more in common than has previously been supposed, the strong parallels revealed in these pages will help to clarify and contextualize some of their most interesting work.

Las Comisiones del Mapa de España en la década de 1850

La necesidad de contar con un mapa de base científica que cubriera todo el territorio español llevó al Estado a crear en paralelo varias Comisiones con cometidos geodésicos, topográficos y cartográficos durante la década de 1850. La labor simultánea de estas Comisiones se prolongó hasta 1859, cuando se aprobó la Ley de Medición del Territorio, que las fusionó en un único organismo. Este artículo analiza aspectos técnicos de los trabajos que realizaron estas Comisiones a partir de la información contenida en algunos documentos que custodia el Archivo Topográfico del IGN. Las conclusiones que se extraen son que estas Comisiones acometieron operaciones geodésicas que resultaron cruciales en el establecimiento ulterior de la red de triangulación peninsular, realizaron mediciones topográficas que fueron reutilizadas veinte años después en el levantamiento del Mapa Topográfico Nacional, e idearon las características catastrales que fueron adoptadas durante todo el siglo posterior para el Catastro de España.

The soundscape as time capsule: A creative project based on the sounds of the first train station of Cuenca

This article reflects on the changing environment through the passage of time and how certain technologies for a creative proposal allow the preservation and transmission of a significant part of that ephemeral heritage for future generations. The general purpose of this particular project is aimed to achieve the sound synthesis of a specific and representative cityscape as the old train station in Cuenca –located in the heart of the city– that could be preserved and reproduced as an unique document of a present time, ascertainable in the future: a memory that interpret sound as a time capsule. This soundscape was made to mark the arrival of the high speed train in 2010 to a brand new station in the outskirts of the city. Therefore, the goal of this research was focused on achieving a synthetic document that provided a sound memory capable of reflecting the significant social, cultural and logistical features, of what was until then the only railway communication symbol in the city of Cuenca from 1883 to the first decade of the 21st century.
