Lenguaje y política en Esteban Echeverría, Juan Bautista Alberdi y Francisco Bilbao

Echeverría, Alberdi y Bilbao pueden ser considerados tres de los pensadores más representativos de las lecturas que el siglo XIX hiciera sobre la Revolución independentista en América. Sus construcciones teóricas fueron elaboradas a la luz de las consecuencias políticas de la Revolución, pero también a partir de la lectura de una serie de teóricos políticos franceses que, de manera contemporánea, pensaban el proceso revolucionario francés. Situar a estos autores en el contexto de los debates intelectuales del momento es un modo de ampliar la lectura y de descubrir las principales particularidades de un pensamiento que se define ante las nuevas condiciones de la política moderna.

Francisco Bilbao y la experiencia libertaria de América : la propuesta de una filosofía americana

Las páginas de esta investigación tienen por objeto de estudio la polémica figura de Francisco Bilbao, chileno por nacimiento y americano por vocación y son un esfuerzo por analizar y dar sistematicidad a sus ideas filosófico-políticas. Constituyeron ellas la objetivación de un plexo de valores de un sector social que pujaba por un proyecto nacional, cuyo derrotero atraviesa el siglo XIX, con éxitos y fracasos.

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.

Control social y familia en el siglo XIX colombiano : una aproximación a distintas prácticas de regulación estatal

This article explores a number of social control strategies on individuals and families actioned by the newly created state-national project during the first decades of Colombian XIX century. With special attention on the discourse of urbanity, also named 'civility or good manners', this paper analyses literary sources produced in the time for molding citizens behaviors in order to incorporate the society into the new paradigm of Modernity.

Beyond Bilbao : rethinking flagship cultural development and planning in three California cities

Since the widely publicized revitalization success story of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, local governments have been scrambling to create their own flagship cultural projects. Because of the broad public sponsorship of such projects, urban planners need a full understanding of the associated potentials and problems. However, little research specifically examines the localized complexities of the flagship cultural strategy. Examining projects in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Jose, California, the article illustrates that much more than impressive architecture influences their catalytic ability. Flagship cultural projects are highly dependent on a variety of contextual factors and, therefore, should be positioned to build on existing arts and related commercial activity rather than gamble that they will generate new development from scratch.

Electrical switching and thermal studies on Ge22Te78-xIx chalcohalide glasses: The effect of iodine on network-topology

Investigations on the electrical switching behavior and thermal studies using Alternating Differential Scanning Calorimetry have been undertaken on bulk, melt-quenched Ge22Te78-,Is (3 <= x <= 10) chalcohalide glasses. All the glasses studied have been found to exhibit memory-type electrical switching. The threshold voltages of Ge22Te78-I-x(x) glasses have been found to increase with the addition of iodine and the composition dependence of threshold voltages of Ge22Te78-xIx glasses exhibits a cusp at 5 at.% of iodine. Also, the variation with composition of the glass transition temperature (Tg) of Ge22Te78-I-x(x) glasses, exhibits a broad hump around this composition. Based on the present results, the composition x = 5 has been identified as the inverse rigidity percolation threshold at which Ge22Te78-I-x(x) glassy system exhibits a change from a stressed rigid amorphous solid to a flexible polymeric glass. Further, a sharp minimum is seen in the composition dependence of non-reversing enthalpy (Delta H-nr) of Ge22Te78-I-x(x) glasses at x = 5, which is suggestive of a thermally reversing window at this composition.

Studies in sesquiterpenes-XIX. Action of perbenzoic acid on longifolene

Oxidation of longifolene, a mono-olefinic sesquiterpene, with a chloroform solution of perbenzoic acid proceeded to almost two mole consumption of the peracid to furnish a number of products, important ones being an α-ketol, a norketone (longicamphenilone) and the corresponding C14-alcohols. Under certain conditions it has been possible to arrest the reaction at one mole consumption and to isolate longifolene-α-epoxide, which is the major product; some amounts of epimeric longifolaldehydes and longicamphenilone were also formed. Further action of perbenzoic acid on longifolene oxide and longifolaldehydes has been investigated and the results used to interpret the mechanism of abnormal peracid oxidation of longifolene.
