Welland Canal/St. Lawrence Seaway Authority fonds, 1826-1880, 1905-1951

The Welland Canal Company was formed in 1824 by William Hamilton Merritt. Construction of the first Welland Canal began in 1829 and was completed in 1834. The canal ran south from Port Dalhousie along Twelve Mile Creek to St. Catharines. An extension was built in 1833 to Gravelly Bay, now Port Colborne. As ships became larger and the wooden locks deteriorated, the need for a new canal became apparent. In 1839, the government purchased the Welland Canal Company’s assets and began making plans for the construction of a second canal. Construction began in 1841 and was completed by 1845. In 1887, a third Welland Canal was completed, which operated until 1932, when a fourth canal was completed. This canal remains in operation today.

Problemas y consecuencias del resurgir del pragmatismo norteamericano: 1952-1976

Revisión crítica de la ‘versión heredada’ sobre el resurgir del pragmatismo norteamericano. Aquí sostengo que ésta es una narrativa sobre la historia de la filosofía que puede ser usada para “reivindicar” la continuidad o para “añorar” la pérdida de esa tradición. Presento tres argumentos a favor de mi tesis sobre la versión heredada: i) es insuficiente para explicar el surgimiento del pragmatismo; ii) es un tipo de narrativa que hace plausible una imagen de la filosofía; iii) impide apreciar que la formación del canon obedece a los propósitos de los seguidores del movimiento.

Caricatura económica en Colombia 1880-2008: la economía con algo de humor

La idea central de este libro gira en torno al uso de la caricatura como una fuente histórica para el análisis económico, además es el legado gráfico de los eventos económicos que a lo largo de más de cien años han sido objeto de atención de caricaturistas y lectores de prensa. Dos motivaciones inspiraron este trabajo: de un lado, el estupendo resultado de utilizar la caricatura económica como fuente de análisis e indagación para el curso de Historia Económica de Colombia en la Universidad del Rosario; y de otro lado, la confirmación de que muchos momentos de la historia económica han sido plasmados por los caricaturistas. Ambos motivos son convincentes respecto a la validez de la caricatura como fuente para el análisis de temas económicos, tanto desde una perspectiva histórica como desde una perspectiva netamente económica.
