En defensa de la multipolaridad: de la multipolaridad evidente de Klemens von Metternich a la multipolaridad difusa de Henry Kissinger

En el marco del debate sobre qué configuración del Sistema Internacional favorece más la estabilidad, si uno bipolar o uno multipolar; qué evidencia permite afirmar que incluso en un escenario formalmente bipolar –como el de la Guerra Fría- las políticas exteriores que más favorecieron la estabilidad, fueron las de un Sistema Internacional multipolar.

Henry Walter Bates: um viajante naturalista na Amazônia e o processo de transferência da informação

A partir do século XVII iniciou-se na Amazônia toda uma movimentação de viajantes/naturalistas atraídos pela biossociodiversidade dessa região dominada por uma floresta tropical. Henry Bates (1825-1892), estudioso de história natural, foi um deles, tendo, porém, se deslocado para o Norte do Brasil entre os anos de 1848 e 1859. Nesse contexto, o presente paper tem como objetivo analisar o processo de transferência das informações produzidas por esse viajante naturalista após 11 anos de trabalho de campo. A partir do material bibliográfico reunido para esse fim, verificou-se que tal processo foi bem-sucedido, como evidencia a ampla circulação das obras publicadas por Bates. Transcorridos 156 anos dessa expedição, a produção científica de Bates continua a participar do circuito acadêmico de produção de conhecimento sobre a Amazônia na contemporaneidade, qual seja no campo da biologia, da zoologia, da sociologia, da história ou da antropologia.

La presencia de Darwin en William Henry Hudson

W. H. Hudson tuvo un contacto muy temprano con El origen de las especies; probablemente haya leído el libro el mismo año de su aparición (1859). Esta lectura lo acercó a una filosofía naturalista que, a la vez, lo alejó de la formación materna en cuestión religiosa, y lo condujo a asumir una posición evolucionista crítica. De hecho, contradijo observaciones de Darwin que éste revisó, además de mencionarlo en la segunda edición de El origen de las especies (1888). Asimismo, son numerosas las citas que Hudson hace de Darwin en sus textos. Aunque pueden marcarse diferencias, ciertos tópicos generales del evolucionismo, son fácilmente reconocibles a lo largo de su producción. El trabajo pretende avanzar sobre estos aspectos para identificar cuán profundamente caló en su concepción del mundo la perspectiva evolucionista.
