El mercado de tierras en la campaña bonaerense : Chascomús, 1800-1880

El presente trabajo se basa en una serie documental constituida por los duplicados de mensura y los protocolos de escribanos para el periodo 1800-1880, el uso combinado de estas fuentes permitirá demostrar que la oferta de tierras públicas en las nuevas fronteras del sur y el oeste, ya sea en usufructo en propiedad plena, no impidieron la conformación de un mercado de tierras en manos privadas al norte del río Salado.

Recorriendo las Tolderías de Valentín Sayhueque : Reminiscencias de Francisco Moreno 1870-1880

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo mostrar y analizar las relaciones fronterizas entre indígenas, cronistas, viajeros y agentes del gobierno de Buenos Aires en el período de 1870 a 1880. Se prestará especial atención a las vinculaciones entre estos "mundos" a partir de los viajes que realizó Moreno a los toldos del cacique Valentín Sayhueque y su comunidad en las regiones aledañas al Lago Nahuel Huapi. No se descarta la influencia de otros cronistas de época (Cox y Musters) como tampoco la impronta de personajes centrales en el contexto (Zeballos y Roca). Los viajeros que recorrieron la Patagonia dejaron testimonios claves para comprender el proceso que se dio entre las sociedades indígenas y el Estado nacional argentino a fines del siglo XIX. Su análisis a través de una mirada crítica da la pauta de cómo las sociedades nativas fueron observadas y estudiadas desde el gobierno de Buenos Aires y países extranjeros. La actual Patagonia fue un punto de atracción (y lo sigue siendo), para muchos individuos que no conocen el lugar. Su naturaleza, paisaje, vegetación eran únicos y muy atractivos. Sus tierras eran habitadas por sujetos que no tenían las mismas formas de vida que el resto de las regiones del momento. Habían desarrollado costumbres, formas de comunicación, comercio e intercambio, relaciones sociales, festividades. Cronistas como Francisco Moreno son nodales para adentrarnos al mundo nativo desde otro ángulo, ya que nos muestra las relaciones en el espacio de frontera y los propósitos del gobierno de Buenos Aires en el momento de las campañas militares. Desde el punto de vista metodológico se ha recurrido a la Etnohistoria para abordar nuestro problema desde una óptica diferente y alimentando la investigación en curso

Encierro y punición en las mujeres. El caso del Hospital de Mujeres Dementes de Buenos Aires (1854-1880)

Históricamente, los juristas han tenido en cuenta la condición de fragilitas de las mujeres como una condición indispensable para adquirir derechos y contraer obligaciones. En función de ello, el derecho precodificado ha definido la condición civil de las mujeres en función de la capiti deminutio, es decir la privación de la plena capacidad civil. El derecho codificado, luego de la sanción de los Código Civil y Penal, de 1869 y 1886 respectivamente, mantuvo el uso jurídico de la capiti deminutio a través del concepto de "incapacidad relativa" de las mujeres. Se realizó así una clara distinción entre la posesión del derecho y su ejercicio: las mujeres fueron incapaces de ejercerlo. De allí la sujeción a la autoridad del marido, del padre, del hermano, de los hijos. Se las descalificó como sujetos autónomos y titulares de derechos, y fueron objeto de protección y corrección. Equiparadas a los niños, a los sordos, a los tullidos, las mujeres fueron consideradas por las distintas normativas con diferentes grados de minusvalía dentro del grupo familiar. En la sociedad decimonónica de Buenos Aires existían ámbitos reconocibles de "corrección" y punición que no incumbían al aparato estatal que reconocemos como moderno. La jurisdicción de la Iglesia, las sanciones privativas de los patrones y los amos; la capacidad para castigar de ciertas instituciones; y las decisiones sobre los bienes que recayó por siglos en los jefes de familia, representaban los mecanismo predilectos que articulaban las relaciones sociales. En este particular contexto, la Sociedad de Beneficencia fue una institución civil con carácter "público", que entre otras cuestiones, se ofrecía como medio adecuado para resolver las problemáticas del "bello sexo". A lo largo del siglo XIX, se trató de modificar un viejo orden sociopolítico, económico y cultural, para que se colocasen los fundamentos de un nuevo conjunto de relaciones sociales. El paulatino proceso de consolidación de un Estado moderno llevó detrás de sí modificaciones en instituciones tales como la familia tradicional de raigambre colonial y la Sociedad de Beneficencia. Sin embargo las normas que se refieran a las mujeres, sancionadas en el Código Civil y Penal, no introdujeron inmediatamente un quiebre en el orden institucional. Siendo así nos proponemos estudiar el carácter que tuvieron las instituciones encargadas de brindar protección y/o corrección a mujeres, en este caso el Hospital de Mujeres Dementes de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, lo cual posibilitaría una mejor comprensión de las características que definieron a las instituciones estatales modernas en torno a la problemática de las mujeres

The open secret: Hiding and revealing sexuality in the roman de moeurs (1880-1905)

Beginning with the sole literary text that does figure at any length in the first volume of Foucault's history--Diderot's Les Bijoux indiscrets, which dates from 1748--Cryle examines some semiotic routines involved in that telling of secrets, and to understand more about scientia sexualis through its literary development. He tries to show that narratives of the time tended to gather the mysterious, the unknown, and the generally inscrutable in the same functional place, holding them close to a thematics of the sexual. And returns to eighteenth-century texts from time to time in order to mark this as a fundamental shift in the literary constitution of sexual knowledge.

Catholic literature and secularisation in France and England, 1880-1914

This book is the first comparative study of its kind to explore at length the French and English Catholic literary revivals of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It compares individual and societal secularisation in France and England and examines how French and English Catholic writers understood and contested secular mores, ideologies and praxis, in the individual, societal and religious domains. It also addresses the extent to which some Catholic writers succumbed to the seduction of secular instincts, even paradoxically in themes which are considered to be emblematic of Catholic literature. The breadth of this book will make it a useful guide for students wishing to become familiar with a wide range of such writings in France and England during this period. It will also appeal to researchers interested in Catholic literary and intellectual history in France and England, theologians, philosophers and students of the sociology of religion.

A comparative analysis of corporate finance in the United States and Japan from 1880 to 1930

This study explained the diversity of corporate financial practices in two nations. Existing studies have emphasized the reliance on equity finance in U.S. firms and bank loans in Japanese firms. In fact, patterns of corporate finance were much more complex. Financial institutions, which were created by national economic policy and regulation, affected corporate financial practices, but corporate financial practices often differed from what policymakers expected. Differences in corporate financial practices between nations also reflected differences in the mixture of industries in each nation. Many factors such as the amount of fixed capital, the process of production, the level of risk, the degree of innovation, and the importance of the industry in the national economy affected corporate financial practices. In addition, corporate financial practices within each nation differed from firm to firm due to managers’ considerations about stock ownership, which would affect their control power; corporate finance was closely related to control over management through ownership. To explain these complexities of corporate financial practices, the study linked corporate finance with the development of financial institutions in the United States and in Japan. While financial institutions affected corporate financial practices, the response of the firms to financial institutions and opportunities were diverse. The study also attempted to grasp variations in corporate financial practices by dealing with companies in three sectors: railroads, public utilities, and manufacturing. Finally, the study examined the structure of firm ownership. Contradictory to the widely held belief that U.S. firms distributed securities more widely to the public than did Japanese firms, many large American firms remained closely held, while some Japanese counterparts built publicly-held corporations.

Colônia agrícola Sinimbú: entre a regularidade do espaço projetado e os violentos confrontos do espaço vivido (Rio Grande do Norte, 1850-1880)

In 1878, at the province of Rio Grande do Norte, between Ceará-Mirim and Extremoz, was founded the Agricultural Colony of Sinimbú. On this location, about 6,600 freed men and women had gathered. They were not only fleeing from the terrible 1877 drought but also encouraged by the promise of accessing basic necessities, i.e. housing and medical assistance, upon work, as required by local and central representatives of power. However, the migrants faced otherwise reality, since conditions within the agricultural facility were of shortage and violence, as denounced on the presidential reports of that time. This work aims at analyzing the conflicts that took place at the Sinimbú Colony, while it seeks to emphasize how the tensions and interests of both local elite and central government representatives relate to the opening and closure of this space, on a context where the debate on the control over freed poor workers was on the rise. Thus, we intend to demonstrate that on the one hand, institutionalized places provided the native freed a sense of work guided by the discipline of the body, control of time and arrangement of space. On the other hand, unlike forms of resistance enacted by freed working men and women undergoing the rearranging process of labor world cannot be disregarded.
