Ensayo, viaje y memoria : lectura de El destino de un continente (1923) de Manuel Ugarte

Dentro del corpus ensayístico de Manuel Ugarte figura una obra titulada El destino de un continente (1923) que da cuenta de su gira por el continente americano. El propósito de este largo viaje que emprende Ugarte es de carácter propagandístico, pues sostiene públicamente —a través de conferencias, mítines— la tesis de la unidad continental como estrategia defensiva contra la política intervencionista norteamericana. Pareciera, inicialmente, que el texto en cuestión merecería un abordaje desde los estudios de la literatura de viaje, lo que es en sí mismo correcto aunque, a nuestro entender, insuficiente. De manera que tenemos un problema de orden genérico que bien vale la pena plantear a fin de ajustar nuestra lectura. Es cierto que se trata de un viaje, pero no de un viaje cualquiera, en términos de un sujeto que se traslada de un sitio a otro con propósitos meramente turísticos, sino que la motivación central del desplazamiento ugarteano se sitúa en una acción catequística, si se quiere, de prédica que pretende mover a la acción.

Horizontal profiles of longwave and shortwave radiation components over sea ice near Barrow, Alaska during the 2011 melt

An integrated instrument package for measuring and understanding the surface radiation budget of sea ice is presented, along with results from its first deployment. The setup simultaneously measures broadband fluxes of upwelling and downwelling terrestrial and solar radiation (four components separately), spectral fluxes of incident and reflected solar radiation, and supporting data such as air temperature and humidity, surface temperature, and location (GPS), in addition to photographing the sky and observed surface during each measurement. The instruments are mounted on a small sled, allowing measurements of the radiation budget to be made at many locations in the study area to see the effect of small-scale surface processes on the large-scale radiation budget. Such observations have many applications, from calibration and validation of remote sensing products to improving our understanding of surface processes that affect atmosphere-snow-ice interactions and drive feedbacks, ultimately leading to the potential to improve climate modelling of ice-covered regions of the ocean. The photographs, spectral data, and other observations allow for improved analysis of the broadband data. An example of this is shown by using the observations made during a partly cloudy day, which show erratic variations due to passing clouds, and creating a careful estimate of what the radiation budget along the observed line would have been under uniform sky conditions, clear or overcast. Other data from the setup's first deployment, in June 2011 on fast ice near Point Barrow, Alaska, are also shown; these illustrate the rapid changes of the radiation budget during a cold period that led to refreezing and new snow well into the melt season.
