Economía, Política y Sociedad Colonial. Elites y sociedades indígenas y campesinas en Córdoba y la Gobernación del Tucumán. Colonial Economy, Politics and Society. Elites and Indigenous-Peasant Societies in Cordoba and "Gobernación del Tucumán"

El PROBLEMA OBJETO de estudio es la economía, la política y la sociedad colonial en Córdoba y en la Gobernación del Tucumán, durante el período colonial e incluso el de su crisis, con especial atención sobre las transformaciones de las sociedades campesinas e indígenas y sus relaciones con el estado colonial, la iglesia y el sector privado. El ESPACIO a analizar será del de la Gobernación del Tucumán entendido como espacio jurisdiccional que incluía varias regiones con alto grado de relacionamiento, profundizándose sobre la situación de la región de Córdoba, teniendo en cuenta las características de las sociedades originarias, el sistema de dominación colonial, el sistema judicial, el sistema económico de explotación y el proceso de evangelización, así como las formas de resistencia y adaptación de las sociedades indígenas que devendrán en sectores campesinos. Entendemos que es importante tomar como UNIDAD DE ANALISIS al espacio que durante la colonia ocupaba la Gobernación del Tucumán en tanto permite realizar un análisis de largaduración sobre las transformaciones de las sociedades indígenas y campesinas, ya que el mismo casi coincide con el del antiguo Tawantinsuyu y con el del "interior argentino" del siglo XIX. LOS OBJETIVOS ESPECIFICOS consistirán en analizar a) el sistema de dominación colonial en sus especificidades normativas, en el Tucumán en general y en Cordoba en particular, comparandolo con el implementado en las zonas centrales del virreinato peruano para comprender las causas que pudieron haber incidido en las dinámicas específicas que en estas tierras asumieron los procesos de reproducción, transformación, adaptación y etnogénesis de las sociedades indígenas que persistieron, y el paulatino tránsito de una parte de ellas hacia la conformación de sociedades campesinas. b) dichos procesos de transformación de las sociedades indígenas y campesinas y explorando sus formas de resistencia y adaptación. c) las características del sistema de dominación colonial, particularmente las múltiples y cambiantes relaciones entre estado, iglesia y poder privado así como entre las diversas instancias de poder político (local y regional). d) las políticas desplegadas en el sistema judicial y sus consecuencias en términos del acceso a la justicia de los sectores subalternos. HIPÓTESIS. a) Si bien luego de la conquista y durante el período colonial las sociedades indígenas sufrieron una fuerte desestructuración, investigaciones recientes nos han permitido conocer que varias de ellas lograron persistir como "pueblos de indios" y como economías étnicas transformadas, todo lo cual explicamos por el grado de complejidad social preexistente, la capacidad de adaptación de dichas sociedades a las imposiciones del sistema de dominación y explotación colonial y con las acciones de resistencia desplegadas. b) Dentro del universo de las sociedades desestructuradas, se irán conformando unidades domésticas campesinas con características socio-culturales y con lógicas específicas de reproducción bien particulares en lo referido a sus formas de acceso a los recursos, el uso de la energía disponible y a las formas de producción y participación mercantil. METODOS Y FUENTES. Se recuperan metodologías y perspectivas de la historia económica social y de la etnohistoria; y en los proyectos específicos se incorporan también las provenientes de la demografía, historia eclesiástica, historia política y análisis de redes. Al tratarse de una investigación histórica, el análisis crítico de las fuentes provendrá de la reconstrucción de su contexto de producción, de su entrecruzamiento y confrontación. La documentación inédita a consultar será completa y variada y proveniente de distintos repositorios: AGI, ABNB, AGN, AHPBA, AHPC, AAC. En general se ESPERA profundizar nuestros proyectos en curso (que están orientados al análisis de los grupos subalternos de la Gobernación del Tucumán) mientras se continúa con la formación de recursos humanos.

A comparative analysis of sustainable tourism, planning and development between Sligo and Donegal County Councils

Sustainable Development requires appropriate and continuous planning and management of economic, socio cultural and environmental resources. Tourism planning calls for continuous collaboration among tourism agencies, local authorities and local communities for success of the industry. While evidence suggests that tourism planning has been extensively documented, it is apparent that Donegal and Sligo County Councils have, in some cases failed to adequately address the significance of planning of the tourism industry for the North West of Ireland. This was investigated through interviews with chief planners of Donegal and Sligo county councils and was conducted in conjunction with the analysis of county development plans; which were formulated by both organisations involved in this study. Evidence suggests that although tourism is extensively documented by Donegal and Sligo county councils, neither of the two local authorities have developed implementation strategies to facilitate the promotion of sustainable tourism development. This research compares and analyses Donegal and Sligo county councils and how they plan for sustainable tourism development. It outlines the role of the county councils in relation to tourism planning and how Donegal and Sligo compare in how they plan for such a significant industry in the North West o f Ireland. It highlights the importance of implementation tools and methods and offers future directions that can assist in the development of sustainable tourism.

Tourism education in Ireland : an analysis of the provision of third level tourism education in Ireland focusing on the needs of the public, private and voluntary sectors

Tourism education in Ireland has witnessed a transformation within the last four decades since CERT introduced the first fundamentals of training in the 1960’s. An analysis of the provision of tourism education in Ireland, focusing on the needs of the public, private and voluntary sectors was the main focus of this study and concentrates mainly on third level provision of tourism education within the island of Ireland. The study examines the role of tourism education in Ireland, establishing any current or emerging trends in third level tourism provision. It identifies and analyses the main stakeholders in the public, private and voluntary sectors and investigates if any requirements exist in the provision of third level education. The multi-faceted nature of the tourism industry has resulted in the provision of a diverse range of educational courses. As a result of this diversity, a question hangs over the status of tourism as a professional discipline within itself. Other issues identified through this study are the over provision of tourism courses and the current and future disparity within tourism education. The qualitative nature of the research involved questioning of major stakeholders and educators who influence tourism education provision and developing an overview of the current status of tourism education provision in Ireland identifying the present needs of each sector. Finally several strategies are suggested which may enhance third level tourism education in the future.

Population dynamics of 0-group flounder (Platichthys flesus L.) in Galway Bay, West of Ireland and the value of flounder from shore angling tourism in Ireland

The economic value of flounder from shore angling around Ireland was assessed. Flounder catches from shore angling tournaments around Ireland were related to domestic and overseas shore angling expenditure in order to determine an economic value for the species. Temporal trends in flounder angling catches, and specimen (trophy) flounder reports were also investigated. Flounder was found to be the most caught shore angling species in competitions around Ireland constituting roughly one third of the shore angling competition catch although this did vary by area. The total value of flounder from shore angling tourism was estimated to be of the order of €8.4 million. No significant temporal trends in flounder angling catches and specimen reports were found. Thus there is no evidence from the current study for any decline in flounder stocks. The population dynamics of 0-group flounder during the early benthic stage was investigated at estuarine sites in Galway Bay, west of Ireland. Information was analysed from the March to June sampling period over five years (2002 to 2006). Spatial and temporal variations in settlement and population length structure were analysed between beach and river habitats and sites. Settlement of flounder began from late March to early May of each year, most commonly in April. Peak settlement was usually in April or early May. Settlement was recorded earlier than elsewhere, although most commonly was similar to the southern part of the UK and northern France. Settlement was generally later in tidal rivers than on sandy beaches. Abundance of 0-group flounder in Galway Bay did not exhibit significant inter -annual variability. 0-group flounder were observed in dense aggregations of up to 105 m'2, which were patchy in distribution. Highest densities of 0-group flounder were recorded in limnetic and oligohaline areas as compared with the lower densities in polyhaline and to a lesser extent mesohaline areas. Measurements to of salinity allowed the classification of beaches, and tidal river sections near the mouth, into a salinity based scheme for length comparisons. Beaches were classified as polyhaline,the lower section of rivers as mesohaline, and the middle and upper sections as oligohaline. Over the March to June sampling period 0-group flounder utilised different sections at different length ranges and were significantly larger in more upstream sections. During initial settlement in April, 0-group flounder of 8-10 mm (standard length, SL) were present in abundance on polyhaline sandy beaches. By about 10mm (SL), flounder were present in all polyhaline, mesohaline and (oligohaline) sections. 0-group flounder became absent or in insignificant numbers in polyhaline and mesohaline sections in a matter of weeks after first appearance. From April to June, 0-group flounder of 12-30mm (SL) were found in more upstream locations in the oligohaline sections. About one month (May or June) after initial settlement, 0-group flounder became absent from the oligohaline sections. Concurrently, flounder start to reappear in mesohaline and polyhaline areas at approximately 30mm (SL) in June. The results indicate 0-group flounder in the early benthic stage are associated with low salinity areas, but as they grow, this association diminishes. Results strongly suggest that migration of 0-group flounder between habitats takes place during the early benthic phase.
