Argentina 1998-2006 : ¿Recuperación económica con convergencia o reproducción de la heterogeneidad estructural con mayores tasas de empleo?

En este trabajo se discute en torno al comportamiento que ha presentado la estructura social del trabajo entre 1998 y 2006, buscando contribuir al debate sobre el cambio del régimen de empleo operado en la etapa posdevaluación. Con este objetivo, el documento examina la desigual performance que registraron los diferentes segmentos del mercado laboral, así como la invariabilidad que mostró tener la composición sectorial de la fuerza de trabajo. En este marco, se realiza una evaluación comparativa del impacto generado sobre las brechas de ingresos laborales por la heterogeneidad estructural en el mercado de trabajo. Para tal efecto, se ajustan diferentes modelos teóricos de regresión sobre el logaritmo de las remuneraciones horarias de cada año. El estudio analiza cuatro momentos clave del proceso económico argentino: 1998, 2001, 2003 y 2006

Modelling calving front dynamics using a level-set method: application to Jakobshavn Isbræ, West Greenland, links model results in MATLAB format

Calving is a major mechanism of ice discharge of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, and a change in calving front position affects the entire stress regime of marine terminating glaciers. The representation of calving front dynamics in a 2-D or 3-D ice sheet model remains non-trivial. Here, we present the theoretical and technical framework for a level-set method, an implicit boundary tracking scheme, which we implement into the Ice Sheet System Model (ISSM). This scheme allows us to study the dynamic response of a drainage basin to user-defined calving rates. We apply the method to Jakobshavn Isbræ, a major marine terminating outlet glacier of the West Greenland Ice Sheet. The model robustly reproduces the high sensitivity of the glacier to calving, and we find that enhanced calving triggers significant acceleration of the ice stream. Upstream acceleration is sustained through a combination of mechanisms. However, both lateral stress and ice influx stabilize the ice stream. This study provides new insights into the ongoing changes occurring at Jakobshavn Isbræ and emphasizes that the incorporation of moving boundaries and dynamic lateral effects, not captured in flow-line models, is key for realistic model projections of sea level rise on centennial timescales.

(Table 1) Horizontal and vertical ice flow velocities for seven markers around Vostok Station

Combined geodetic, geophysical and glaciological in situ measurements are interpreted regarding surface height changes over subglacial Lake Vostok and the local mass balance of the ice sheet at Vostok station. Repeated GPS observations spanning 5 years and long-term surface accumulation data show that the height of the lake surface has not changed over the observation period. The application of the mass conservation equation to purely observational data yields an ice mass balance for Vostok station close to equilibrium.

Lead in bottom sediments, nodules, and sulfides from the Black Sea

A study of lead distribution in recent, ancient Black Sea and Neweuxinian bottom sediment shows similar vertical distributions of the element in the oxygen and hydrogen sulfide zones of the sea; i.e. hydrogen sulfide contamination does not affect lead contents in bottom sediments of the sea. Lead distribution in sediment mass of the Black Sea reflects dependence of accumulation of the element on the hydrodynamic regime of the sea and forms of its migration. It is noted that absence of lead accumulation in Black Sea nodules results from specific nodule formation and from geochemical activity of the element. A large role of diagenetic sulfide formation in lead geochemistry is shown. Degree of lead accumulation in iron sulfides depends on conditions of sedimentation and on physical and chemical parameters in the sea.

Average compositions and analyses range for clinopyroxene, olivines, orthopyroxene, and spinel from the MARK area at DSDP Site 45-395A, and ODP Site 153-920

Mineral compositions of residual peridotites collected at various locations in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge south of the Kane transform (MARK area) are consistent with generally smaller degrees of melting in the mantle near the large offset Kane transform than near the other, small offset, axial discontinuities in the area. We propose that this transform fault effect is due to along-axis variations in the final depth of melting in the subaxial mantle, reflecting the colder thermal regime of the ridge near the Kane transform. Calculations made with a passive mantle flow regime suggest that these along-axis variations in the final depth of melting would not produce the full range of crustal thickness variations observed in the MARK area seismic record. It is therefore likely that the transform fault effect in the MARK area is combined with other mechanisms capable of producing crustal thickness variations, such as along-axis melt migration, the trapping of part of the magma in a cold mantle root beneath the ridge, or active mantle upwelling.

Surface temperature measurements near Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, Norway in 2008 with links to data files

The ground surface temperature is one of the key parameters that determine the thermal regime of permafrost soils in arctic regions. Due to remoteness of most permafrost areas, monitoring of the land surface temperature (LST) through remote sensing is desirable. However, suitable satellite platforms such as MODIS provide spatial resolutions, that cannot resolve the considerable small-scale heterogeneity of the surface conditions characteristic for many permafrost areas. This study investigates the spatial variability of summer surface temperatures of high-arctic tundra on Svalbard, Norway. A thermal imaging system mounted on a mast facilitates continuous monitoring of approximately 100 x 100 m of tundra with a wide variability of different surface covers and soil moisture conditions over the entire summer season from the snow melt until fall. The net radiation is found to be a control parameter for the differences in surface temperature between wet and dry areas. Under clear-sky conditions in July, the differences in surface temperature between wet and dry areas reach up to 10K. The spatial differences reduce strongly in weekly averages of the surface temperature, which are relevant for the soil temperature evolution of deeper layers. Nevertheless, a considerable variability remains, with maximum differences between wet and dry areas of 3 to 4K. Furthermore, the pattern of snow patches and snow-free areas during snow melt in July causes even greater differences of more than 10K in the weekly averages. Towards the end of the summer season, the differences in surface temperature gradually diminish. Due to the pronounced spatial variability in July, the accumulated degree-day totals of the snow-free period can differ by more than 60% throughout the study area. The terrestrial observations from the thermal imaging system are compared to measurements of the land surface temperature from the MODIS sensor. During periods with frequent clear-sky conditions and thus a high density of satellite data, weekly averages calculated from the thermal imaging system and from MODIS LST agree within less than 2K. Larger deviations occur when prolonged cloudy periods prevent satellite measurements. Futhermore, the employed MODIS L2 LST data set contains a number of strongly biased measurements, which suggest an admixing of cloud top temperatures. We conclude that a reliable gap filling procedure to moderate the impact of prolonged cloudy periods would be of high value for a future LST-based permafrost monitoring scheme. The occurrence of sustained subpixel variability of the summer surface temperature is a complicating factor, whose impact needs to be assessed further in conjunction with other spatially variable parameters such as the snow cover and soil properties.

エジプトにおける軍の経済活動 -- スィースィー体制での役割

Since the second transition period started July 2013, the Egyptian armed forces have once again played a critical role in building a new political system. Although the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) had not come to the front this time, it controlled the transition process and succeeded in keeping the privileges of the military in both political and economic fields. This paper focuses on the economic role of the military under the regime of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Large scale economic activity of the military started in the mid-1970s. The military expanded its grip on the domestic economy and became one of the largest producers in Egyptian civil industry. In addition to controlling a huge business empire, the military under the Sisi administration is an entity supportive of national development goals. As the backer of the current regime, the armed forces have taken on a new responsibility as a central role player in economic development.

Investigación técnica y económica sobre desinfección de aguas residuales por sistemas de oxidación

Un incremento de la demanda del agua, junto con el aumento de la contaminación, ha provocado que hoy en día la reutilización de las aguas depuradas sea necesaria, pero la reutilización de aguas debe garantizar y minimizar los posibles riesgos sanitarios y medioambientales que su práctica pueda provocar. En España estos parámetros se encuentran regulados por el RD 1620/2007 relativo al régimen jurídico de la reutilización de las aguas depuradas. Las aguas regeneradas son aguas que ya han sido sometidas a un tratamiento de depuración, y a las cuales se aplica un posterior tratamiento adicional o complementario que permita adecuar su calidad al uso al que vaya a destinarse. Siendo requeridos para los distintos reúsos procesos de desinfección, uno de los principales sistemas utilizados es el cloro, debido a su sencilla aplicación y costos bajos, sin tomar en cuenta la posible formación de compuestos organohalogenados potencialmente cancerígenos. Es por esto que surge la necesidad de aplicar distintos sistemas de oxidación objeto de estudio en esta tesis, como el dióxido de cloro estabilizado, ozono y los procesos avanzados de oxidación (Advanced Oxidation Processes, AOP), ozono/peróxido y uv/peróxido. En esta tesis se investiga los rendimientos que pueden alcanzar estos sistemas en la eliminación de los ácidos húmicos y los fenoles, siendo las principales sustancias formadoras de subproductos de la desinfección, así mismo, se considera necesario garantizar la desinfección del agua a través del estudio de tres grupos de microrganismos, los coliformes totales, e. coli y enterococos, siendo un punto importante el posible recrecimiento microbiológico debido a una desinfección escasa, por la permanencia en el agua de los compuestos antes mencionados, o por alguna fuente de alimento que pudieran encontrar en el sistema de distribución. Lo más importante será la calidad que se pueda alcanzar con estos desinfectantes, con el fin de obtener agua para los distintos reúsos que existen en la actualidad. Y así no limitar los alcances que puede tener la reutilización de las aguas residuales. Basándose en lo antes mencionado se procedió a realizar la caracterización del agua del rio Manzanares, con el fin de determinar la cantidad de ácidos húmicos disueltos y fenoles, obteniendo valores bajos, se decidió incorporar a las muestras de rio 5 mg/L de estos compuestos, con el fin de observar de que manera podrían interferir en la desinfección de esta agua. De esta forma se logran obtener resultados óptimos de los sistemas de desinfección estudiados, siendo el Ozono un oxidante eficiente en la desinfección de los microrganismos y en la eliminación de ácidos húmicos y fenoles con tiempos de contacto cortos, mostrando deficiencias al permitir el recrecimiento de los coliformes totales. Del sistema de oxidación avanzada UV/Peróxido se determino como un eficiente desinfectante para garantizar la inexistencia de rebrotes, al paso del tiempo. Así mismo se concluye que tiene buenos rendimientos en la eliminación del ácido húmico y los fenoles. An increase in water demand, coupled with increasing pollution, has caused today reuse of treated water is necessary, but must ensure water reuse and minimize potential health and environmental risks that their practice is cause. In Spain these parameters are regulated by Royal Decree 1620/2007 on the legal regime of the reuse of treated water. The reclaimed water is water that has already been subjected to a depuration treatment, which is applied as a subsequent further treatment that will bring quality to the use to which is to be delivered. As required for various reuses disinfection processes, one of the main systems used is chlorine, due to its simple implementation and low costs, without taking into account the possible formation of potentially carcinogenic halogenated organic compounds. That is why there is a need to apply different oxidation systems studied in this thesis, as stabilized chlorine dioxide, ozone and advanced oxidation processes (AOP), ozone/peroxide and UV/peroxide. This thesis investigates the rates can reach these systems in removing humic acids and phenols, the main substances forming disinfection byproducts, likewise, it is considered necessary to ensure water disinfection through the study of three groups of microorganisms, total coliform, e. coli and enterococci, the important point being a possible regrowth due to microbiological disinfection scarce, the water remaining on the aforementioned compounds, or a food source which may be found in the distribution system. The most important quality is that achievable with these disinfectants, with the water to obtain various reuses that exist today. And thus not limit the scope that can be reuse of wastewater. Based on the above we proceeded to perform characterization Manzanares river water, in order to determine the quantity of dissolved humic acids and phenols, obtaining low values, it was decided to incorporate river samples 5 mg / L of these compounds, in order to observe how they might interfere with the disinfection of the water. Thus optimum results are achieved for disinfection systems studied, being efficient ozone oxidant in the disinfection of microorganisms and the removal of humic acids and phenols with short contact times, showing gaps to allow regrowth total coliforms. Advanced oxidation system UV / peroxide were determined as an efficient disinfectant to ensure the absence of volunteers, the passage of time. Also it is concluded that has good yields in removing humic acid and phenols.

Perspectiva jurídica de la gestión y conservación de los recursos pesqueros en España. La pesca-turismo como opción de futuro

El objetivo de la presente Tesis está dirigido a analizar diversas opciones de diversificación que la pesca marítima profesional puede tener, poniendo el acento en el respeto al medio ambiente. En concreto la Pesca-turismo aparece como una de las alternativas más viables tanto por su respeto al medio ambiente como por su relativamente sencilla posibilidad de implantación en España. A fin de poder desarrollar la misma se proponen los cambios legislativos necesarios para su implantación en nuestro país procediéndose, para ello, al estudio de la situación actual de la actividad pesquera en nuestro país desde un punto de vista jurídico, con una especial consideración de la gestión y conservación de los recursos pesqueros. El estudio de su posible implantación en España, comienza analizando cuáles son las diferentes administraciones que influyen en dicha actividad y en qué medida lo hacen, tanto en el ámbito nacional como en el supranacional, con una especial referencia a la Unión Europea, así como la organización de las mismas. Acto seguido se procede al examen, tanto de la normativa sobre la materia, como de la jurisprudencia y la doctrina aplicables a la actividad de pesca marítima en España para, una vez llevado a cabo dicho estudio, comenzar con el examen de los requisitos exigidos, ya sean éstos de índole material o humana, a aquéllos que quieran llevarla a cabo. A continuación, se estudia el régimen de infracciones y sanciones, entrando, por último, en el terreno más propiamente de conservación de los recursos, donde se examinan las medidas que, a tal fin, se encuentran en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico. Más adelante se analiza, siquiera sea brevemente, la pesca deportiva, que, aunque con una incidencia muy inferior, no deja de ser otra forma de actividad extractiva. La existencia de otras experiencias parecidas a la propuesta de pesca-turismo en el ámbito internacional es objeto de estudio a fin de determinar cuál es la situación en otros países donde se hayan implantado con anterioridad. Para ello se lleva a cabo un análisis de las distintas soluciones que a este mismo problema se han dado en otros países también con amplia tradición en este campo procediendo, a tal fin, a un estudio de la legislación sobre la pesca-turismo, fundamentalmente en Italia, pero también en Francia y Portugal. A la vista de cuanto antecede es posible concluir que al día de hoy no es factible la realización de las actividades de Pesca-turismo con los instrumentos jurídicos de los que se dispone en España, dado que existen puntos sustanciales en los mismos que o bien impiden o bien no permiten su desarrollo. Por tanto el planteamiento de tales actividades necesariamente conlleva una serie de modificaciones normativas. El siguiente paso y en relación con las modificaciones normativas a efectuar, se ofrece un texto alternativo al texto legal a modificar (Ley 3/2001 de Pesca Marítima del Estado) y al Real Decreto 1027/1989, mientras que se dejan efectuados los apuntes precisos de cual debería de ser el marco reglamentario que, en desarrollo de las modificaciones anteriores, posibilitasen el ejercicio de la Pesca-turismo en España. Por último se ha optado por efectuar un análisis de la opinión del sector, tendente a verificar si los datos obtenidos empíricamente quedaban asimismo reflejados en las actitudes de los destinatarios finales de tales normas, que no serían otros que los pescadores profesionales. A tal fin se ha procedido a recoger las opiniones de diversos colectivos del sector, a través tanto de las cofradías de pescadores como de las Federaciones, acerca de las actividades de pesca-turismo, buscando la representación de todas las zonas geográficas. Fruto de tal investigación se ha llegado a la conclusión de que el desarrollo de las actividades propuesta de pescaturismo cuenta con una opinión favorable dentro del sector que, con una mayoría aplastante se manifestó a favor de desarrollar la posibilidad de ejercicio de la mismas. SUMMARY The objective of this thesis is aimed to analyze various options of diversification that commercial maritime fishing can have, with an emphasis on respect for the environment. Specifically, fishing-tourism appears as one of the most viable alternatives because of its environmental friendliness as well by its relatively simple possibility of implementation in Spain In order to develop it, it is proposed the necessary changes legislative for implementation in our country proceeding to study of the current situation of fisheries in our country from a legal perspective, with special consideration of the management and conservation of fisheries resources. The study of their possible implementation in Spain, begins by analyzing which are the different administrations that influence in that activity and to what extent they do, both at the national field as well at the supranational field, with special reference to the European Union and organization of thereof. Then proceeds to an examination, both of the relevant legislation as well as of the jurisprudence and doctrine applicable to maritime fishing in Spain for, once conducted this study, to begin with the consideration of the requirements, be they human or material, to those who want to carry out. Then studies the regime of offences and penalties, entering, finally, in the field conservation of resources, where discusses measures which, to this end, are in our legal system Later analyzes, even briefly, sport fishing, which, although with a much lower incidence, it is another form of extractive activity. The existence of other similar experiences to the proposal of fishing-tourism in the international arena is object of study in order to determine which is the situation in other countries where it has been implemented previously. For that it is carried out an analysis of the different solutions that to this same problem have been given in other countries with long tradition in this field, to proceed to study about legislation on fishing-tourism, fundamentally in Italy, but also in France and Portugal In view of the above it can be concluded that today is not feasible to implement the fishing-tourism activities with the legal instruments that are available in Spain, as there are substantial points which prevent them or not allows its development. Therefore the approach to such activities necessarily entails a series of normatives changes. The next step and in relation to normatives changes to do, it is offered an alternative text to the legal text to modify (Law 3/2001 of the State Marine Fisheries) and to the Royal Decree No. 1027 / 1989, while we leave made accurate notes about which ought be the reglamentary framework that, in developing of the above modifications, can be enable exercise of fishing-tourism in Spain. Finally, it is been opted to carry out an analysis of the opinion of the sector, aimed at verifying if data obtained empirically were also reflected in the attitudes of the final recipients of such standards, who would not be other than the professional fishermen. For this purpose it has been collected the opinions of various groups of the sector, through of fishermen's associations and federations, about of the activities of tourism-fishing, looking for the representation of all geographical areas. The result of such an investigation has concluded that the development of this proposed activities fishing-tourism has a positive opinion within the sector because an overwhelming majority was in favor of developing the possibility of exercise of the same.

Estudio de viabilidad para instalar una planta de cogeneración

En el presente proyecto se estudia la viabilidad, tanto técnica como económica, de la instalación de una planta de cogeneración, en una industria alimentaria en Aldaya (Valencia). El diseño de la central de cogeneración se basa en la demanda energética de la fábrica, atendiendo a los requisitos necesarios para acogerse al Régimen Especial de producción de energía eléctrica establecidos en el Real Decreto 661/2007, de 25 de mayo. En cuanto a la viabilidad económica, se ha elegido la alternativa de venta de electricidad a la red a tarifa, (a un precio fijo y regulado) con el fin de asegurar los ingresos en el estudio económico y reducir la sensibilidad del proyecto a las variables del mercado. Como resultado se obtienen la reducción de los costes de energía de la fábrica, mejora de la fiabilidad de suministro, reducción de emisiones globales de CO2, y una elevada rentabilidad del proyecto. ABSTRACT The aim of this project is to study the technical and economic feasibility of a cogeneration plant in a food industry in Aldaya (Valencia). The design of the cogeneration plant is based on the energetic demand of the factory, attending to the requirements specified in the Special Regime of production of electric power established in the R.D. 661/2007. The studied alternative in terms of economic viability is selling electricity to the net by tariff, which is a fixed and regulated price in order to assure the revenue in the economic study and to reduce the project sensitivity to the market variation. The results obtained are: reduction in energy costs of the fabric, improvement of reliability in the electrical supply, reduction of global CO2 emission, and high profitability of the project.

On a mathematical model arising in MHD perturbed equilibrium for Stellarator devices. A numerical approach.

Abstract?We consider a mathematical model related to the stationary regime of a plasma of fusion nuclear, magnetically confined in a Stellarator device. Using the geometric properties of the fusion device, a suitable system of coordinates and averaging methods, the mathematical problem may be reduced to a two dimensional free boundary problem of nonlocal type, where the corresponding differential equation is of the Grad?Shafranov type. The current balance within each flux magnetic gives us the possibility to define the third covariant magnetic field component with respect to the averaged poloidal flux function. We present here some numerical experiences and we give some numerical approach for the averaged poloidal flux and for the third covariant magnetic field component.

New results on bare-tether current

Recent results on the validity of the orbital-motion-limited (OML) regime of cylindrical Langmuir probes, which are essential for bare-tether applications, are extended to show how the current lags behind the OML value beyond the OML regime, and the possible effects of motion of the probe relative to the plasma.

On the free-boundary for an elliptic inverse nonlocal problem arising in the nuclear fusion. A numerical approach

We consider a mathematical model related to the stationary regime of a plasma magnetically confined in a Stellarator device in the nuclear fusion. The mathematical problem may be reduced to an nonlinear elliptic inverse nonlocal two dimensional free{boundary problem. The nonlinear terms involving the unknown functions of the problem and its rearrangement. Our main goal is to determinate the existence and the estimate on the location and size of region where the solution is nonnegative almost everywhere (corresponding to the plasma region in the physical model)

Efectos de la aplicación de fertilizantes de nueva generación en la dehesa toledana: producción, diversidad y composición florística de pastos herbáceos

Fertilization can be an interesting treatment to improve the different productions of the dehesa and to improve tree vigor. In order to evaluate the effect of different fertilizers of new generation on herbaceous pasture diversity and species composition, in this work we analyzed the effect of three treatments: control (natural pastures), fertization with 36 UF of P2O5 of a complex NPK and low content of N, and natural phosphates. Fertilization was applied in autumn of 2009, 2010 and 2011 and we analized herbaceous pastures composition and yield in springs of 2010, 2011 and 2012 (one control per year). The best results of production were obtained with the NPK application; also, pasture specific richness and diversity improved with the fertilization in years of average regime of precipitation.

El imaginario en la génesis del proyecto arquitectónico: La construcción de la realidad a través del mito, la utopía y la cibercultura

El término imaginario, nombra el principio y el tema central de una investigación del mundo arquitectónico, necesaria para entender las condiciones alrededor de un proceso proyectual íntimo, cargado de significaciones ideológicas y simbólicas. En diferentes interpretaciones, el inconsciente colectivo y personal, científico o social, aparece en el origen de cada pensamiento y comportamiento humano, constituyendo un universo cerrado y caótico, donde todas las ideas están en constante tensión y contradicción. Por esta razón existen nociones y construcciones lógicas y coherentes que estructuran el marco de la verisimilitud y por tanto el régimen de la realidad, mediante la verdad y la verificación. Para el proyecto arquitectónico estas configuraciones se expresan en la situación del espacio, el tiempo y el cuerpo, como elementos básicos de jerarquización de la habitabilidad y de la cohabitabilidad humana. Esta tesis pretende acotar y definir un ámbito de procesos verosímiles instalados dentro del imaginario mediante el patrimonio intangible del pensamiento mítico o utópico, donde no solamente se crean envolventes del pensamiento, de iconografía o de sociedades, sino de donde también se derivan modelos rígidos y excluyentes, desde teorías basadas en la heteronormatividad y la segregación según el sexo, el género, la clase y la capacidad dentro de la diversidad funcional. La experiencia del espacio arquitectónico ha sido tradicionalmente descrita mediante palabras e imágenes: el lógos y el símbolo han sido los grandes intermediadores entre los sujetos y el habitar. Los ámbitos cotidiano y urbano se han regido por modelos y normas absolutas aplicadas universalmente y el mundo arquitectónico se ha visto estancado en la polaridad dual, entre lo público y lo privado, el dentro y el fuera, el movimiento y el reposo, el hombre y la mujer. Si el espacio-tiempo, el cuerpo y sus interpretaciones son la base para los modelos absolutistas, universalistas y perfeccionistas que han dominado el pensamiento occidental y elaborado la noción de lo “normal” en su totalidad, restando complejidad y diversidad, en la era hipermoderna ya no tiene sentido hablar en términos que no contemplen la superposición y la contradicción de la multiplicidad caótica en igualdad y en equilibrio instable. La realidad se ha visto reinventada a través de situaciones intermedias, los lugares inbetween en los espacios, tiempos, identidades y nociones presupuestas, donde se ha tergiversado el orden establecido, afectando al imaginario. La cotidianidad ha superado la arquitectura y el tiempo ha aniquilado el espacio. La conectividad, las redes y el libre acceso a la información – allá donde los haya – componen el marco que ha permitido a los sujetos subalternos emerger y empezar a consolidarse en el discurso teórico y práctico. Nuevos referentes están apareciendo en el hiper-espacio/tiempo aumentado, infringiendo todas aquellas leyes e interpretaciones impuestas para controlar los hábitos, las conductas y las personas. La casa, la ciudad y la metrópolis al vaciarse de contenidos, han dejado de cumplir funciones morales y simbólicas. Los no-lugares, los no-space, los no-time (Amann, 2011) son las condiciones radicalmente fenoménicas que reemplazan la realidad de lo vivido y activan de forma directa a los sentidos; son lugares que excitan el cuerpo como termótopos (Sloterdijk, 2002), que impulsan el crecimiento de la economía y en gran medida la multinormatividad. Sin duda alguna, aquí y ahora se requiere un nuevo modo de emplear la palabra, la imagen y la tecnología, dentro de una temporalidad efímera y eterna simultáneamente. ABSTRACT The term imaginary marks the beginning and the main topic of this research into the architectural world, presented as the necessary condition to understand the design process in its intimate layers, loaded with ideological and symbolic meanings. Through different interpretations, the unconscious, personal and collective, scientific or social, is found in the origin of every human thought and behaviour, constituting a closed chaotic universe, where all ideas are in constant tension and contradiction. This is why there are logical and coherent notions or discursive constructions which organise the context of verisimilitude and therefore the regime of reality through truth and its verification. For the architectural project, these specific configurations are associated with space, time and body as basic elements of management and hierarchization of human habitability and co-habitability. This thesis aims to demarcate and define a field of verisimilar processes installed in the imaginary, through the intangible heritage of mythical or utopian thinking, where not only enclosures of thought, iconography or utopian ideals are created, but from where rigid and exclusive models are derived as well, from theories based on heteronormativity and segregation by sex, gender, class and functional diversity. The experience of the architectural space has been described traditionally through words and images: the language and the symbol have been intermediating between the user and his habitat. Everyday life and urban interactions have been governed by absolute, universally applied, models or standards, therefore the architectural world has been stalled in a constant dual polarity between the public and the private, the inside and the outside, the movement and the repose, the man and the woman. Certainly, if the space-time notion, along with the theorization of the body, are the basis for absolutist, universalist and perfectionist models that have dominated western thought and developed the concept of “normal” in its totality, deducting all complexity and diversity, in the hypermodern era it makes no longer sense to speak in terms that ignore the overlap and contradiction of the chaotic multiplicity that characterises equality and unstable balance. Reality has been reinvented through intermediate situations, the in-between spaces, time, identities, or other presupposed notions. The order of truth has been distorted, affecting and transforming the contemporary imaginary. Everyday practices have surpassed the architectural design and time has annihilated space. Connectivity, networks, free access to information -wherever it exists-, compose the framework that has allowed subaltern subjectivity to emerge and begin to consolidate into main theoretical and practical discourses. New models are appearing in the augmented hyper-space/ time, transgressing any rule and interpretation imposed to control habits, behaviours and people. The house, the city and the metropolis are empty of content; they no longer fulfil moral and symbolic functions. The non-places, non-space, non-time (Amann, 2011) are radically phenomenal conditions that replace the reality of the lived experience and activate the senses as places that excite the body, thermotopos (Sloterdijk, 2002), which boost economic growth and to a considerable extent the multinormativity. Undoubtedly, what is required here and now is a new way of employing the word, the image and the technology within an ephemeral yet eternal temporality.
