"Empezar es haber andado la mitad" : Organización social y condiciones laborales en la Sociedad Vitícola Uruguaya

La Sociedad Vitícola Uruguaya (SVU) se fundó en marzo de 1887 fue parte del proyecto modernizador y diversificador del agro uruguayo impulsado por la Asociación Rural del Uruguay (ARU), entidad corporativa similar a la Sociedad Rural Argentina. Este trabajo analiza los orígenes de la SVU, única entidad de este tipo en Sudamérica, en el marco del desarrollo agrario uruguayo de finales del siglo XIX. También se estudian las condiciones de la mano de obra asalariada, la división de las tareas y la estructura organizacional en los orígenes del establecimiento. El objetivo es analizar cómo un sector de la élite uruguaya, reunida en la ARU, impulsó la creación de la SVU como parte de un modelo de producción capitalista diversificada y basada en una sociedad por acciones en el agro a finales del siglo XIX. La hipótesis que guía este trabajo es que dicho proyecto no sólo tenía como objetivo el desarrollo de la vitivinicultura, sino también, el de servir de modelo sociocultural con el fin de motorizar relaciones sociales capitalistas en el agro y de afincar al "gaucho" en el entorno rural

Southeast Asia and China: The role of history and culture in shaping future relations

Despite the position of the United States as de facto global hegemon, China is a rising power in the world. As Chinese power grows, the projection of Chinese influence will be felt most acutely in Southeast Asia. Whether to accommodate, contain or resist China will depend on future developments that none can foresee, including Chinese ambitions, the policies of other international players (the U.S., Japan), and the cohesion or fragility of the Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN). This paper argues that in deciding how best to deal with China, two factors that will influence the countries of Southeast Asia are their own long histories of bilateral relations with China and their own differing conceptions of how foreign relations should be conducted. This is to argue that history and culture are central to any understanding of the likely future shape of China-Southeast Asia relations. Only by taking history and culture into account will analysts be in a position to predict how the mainland and maritime states of Southeast Asia are likely to respond to a more powerful, confident and assertive China.

South Africa and the global game:football, apartheid and beyond

Firmly situating South African teams, players, and associations in the international framework in which they have to compete, South Africa and the Global Game: Football, Apartheid, and Beyond presents an interdisciplinary analysis of how and why South Africa underwent a remarkable transformation from a pariah in world sport to the first African host of a World Cup in 2010. Written by an eminent team of scholars, this special issue and book aims to examine the importance of football in South African society, revealing how the black oppression transformed a colonial game into a force for political, cultural and social liberation. It explores how the hosting of the 2010 World Cup aims to enhance the prestige of the post-apartheid nation, to generate economic growth and stimulate Pan-African pride. Among the themes dealt with are race and racism, class and gender dynamics, social identities, mass media and culture, and globalization. This collection of original and insightful essays will appeal to specialists in African Studies, Cultural Studies, and Sport Studies, as well as to non-specialist readers seeking to inform themselves ahead of the 2010 World Cup.
