Voces de mujeres de la plebe en el Hospicio de Quito, 1785-1816

Este estudio se propone recuperar las voces de algunas mujeres presas en el Hospicio Jesús, María y José, fundado en Quito en 1786, en el marco de las políticas sociales borbónicas de control de la población marginal de la ciudad. El Hospicio, creado para recluir a sujetos considerados improductivos –fundamentalmente, pobres-mendigos, ociosos y lazarinos–, también castigó con el encierro a mujeres imputadas de transgresiones sociales, con la intensión de redimirlas a partir del trabajo en la producción textil. Bajo la perspectiva de los nuevos enfoques respecto al concepto de control social, se pueden identificar algunos mecanismos que activaron las mujeres presas para elevar reclamos cuando percibían injusticias o para demandar su libertad. Esta perspectiva permite abordar el tema del control social bajo una doble visión: la forma como se proyecta el control desde «arriba», articulando diversas instancias de autoridad, y las respuestas de los sectores subalternos «desde abajo», activando no solo mecanismos de resistencia, sino también de agencia.

Fecundity of crab Hepatus-pudibundas (herbst, 1785) (crustacea, decapoda, calappidae) in Ubatuba (SP), Brazil

The egg number and the rate in which they are produced constitute important informations for the comprehension of the reproductive process. The egg number carried by a female crab is related to a body dimension (carapace width or length). These data are adjusted to a linear regression. The specimens of Ii. pudibundus were collected in Ubatuba region, Brazil during the period from January 1991 to July 1993. In this paper 30 females with eggs in the initial embryonic phase were used to estimate ther egg number. The mean fecundity obtained was 75,615 +/- 30,120 eggs/female/spawn. Although the H. pudibundus fecundity was not high, it can be inferred that the larval survival in nature should be large, because it is one of the most abundant crabs in the studied area.

Weight width carapace relationship in the crab hepatus-pudibundus (herbst, 1785) (crustacea, decapoda, calappidae) of the Ubatuba region, SP, Brazil

In populational studies, the weight/width carapace relationship analysis, can furnish indications about the individual physiological variations as a function of the environment, and it can indicate sexual dimorphism. The goal of this research is to find the mathematical expressions of weight/width carapace relationship in the crab Hepatus pudibundus. This study was accomplished by analysing the crabs that were sampled monthly with a shrimp fishing boat equipped with 2 otter-trawl nets, during the period from november/1988 to october/1989. A total of 624 specimens were obtained composed of 244 males and 380 females. In each group the sex, the weight (PE) and the carapace width (LC) were determined. The obtained values agree with the studied range, showing variations during male and female development, represented by the potential function of the equation Y = aX(b). Such variations are probably related to reproductive strategies.

Appraisal of the chelipeds size on Hepatus-pudibundus (Herbst, 1785) (Crustacea, Calappidae) in function of sex and maturation

This paper appraises the influence of chelipeds on sexual and maturation phasis of the crab Hepatus pudibundus (Herbst, 1785), collected in Ubatuba (SP) region. The allometric constants obtained from the regression (carapace width X cheliped weight) adjusted to a power function (Y=aX(b)) were analysed. It was verified that males show larger chelipeds than females. The mean percentage of the chelipeds weight differs in sex and maturation.
