Cogiendo su pedazo. Dinámicas migratorias y construcción de identidades afrocolombianas en Cali

El aumento de la presencia de pobladores afrodescendientes en las principales ciudades de Colombia y demás países latinoamericanos, fenómeno que presenta una tendencia a generalizarse, resultado de las desventajas estructurales vividas en sus zonas de poblamiento histórico, producto de los cambios en los ritmos económicos, la entrada en desuso de formas económicas autónomas y la proliferación de focos de violencia en sus territorios, motivan a prestar atención a estas situaciones que se extienden por tierras de nuestro continente, abarcando gran parte del siglo inmediatamente anterior y lo que va recorrido de este. Observar este fenómeno con la intención de comprender dichos movimientos poblacionales, de los que subyacen diversas dinámicas, entre las que podemos destacar las de tipo cultural e identitario, atravesadas por el componente racial, se convierten en una invitación constante para preguntarnos acerca de los procesos mediante los cuales las ciudades importantes de nuestros países reciben cada vez mayor cantidad de pobladores afrodescendientes, quienes en condición de “migrantes”, desterrados, desarraigados o desplazados, realizan intentos por reconstruir sus trayectorias de vida. Prestar atención a los ritmos adaptativos, la conformación de circuitos socio-laborales, la espacialización de sus existencias y la puesta en marcha de sus re-existencias cotidianas, en contextos en que la fuerza de la discriminación, el racismo y los intentos por confinación socio-espacial no se hacen esperar, enmarcan el clima de estas realidades sociales, que encuentran en los espacios habitables del suelo urbano su expresión más vívida.

England under the heel of the Jew : a tale of 2 books

arranged by the author of "The Call of the sword" [d.i. John Henry Clarke]

Decálogo para la formación de un gentleman -sermones ensayísticos del cardenal Newman-

En el marco de una investigación denominada "Critica literaria inglesa del siglo diecinueve: del artista critico al critico como artista (1790-1832;1867-1901)", llevada a cabo por un grupo de docentes de la materia literatura del siglo XIX' (UBA), el presente artículo se propone esbozar algunas tensiones ideológicas en el pensamiento del teólogo británico John Henry Newman (1801-1890), quien ejerció una influencia decisiva en la producción del critico Mathew Arnold, figura central en el campo intelectual inglés durante la segunda mitad del siglo pasado. En líneas generales, este trabajo expone la reacción conservadora de un escritor liberal que teme a la fragmentariedad del saber contemporáneo j que encuentra en la educación universitaria un eficaz instrumento de control social.

Predominance of the α1D subunit in L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels of hair cells in the chicken’s cochlea

The voltage-gated Ca2+ channels that effect tonic release of neurotransmitter from hair cells have unusual pharmacological properties: unlike most presynaptic Ca2+ channels, they are sensitive to dihydropyridines and therefore are L-type. To characterize these Ca2+ channels, we investigated the expression of L-type α1 subunits in hair cells of the chicken’s cochlea. In PCRs with five different pairs of degenerate primers, we always obtained α1D products, but only once an α1C product and never an α1S product. A full-length α1D mRNA sequence was assembled from overlapping PCR products; the predicted amino acid sequence of the α1D subunit was about 90% identical to those of the mammalian α1D subunits. In situ hybridization confirmed that the α1D mRNA is present in hair cells. By using a quantitative PCR assay, we determined that the α1D mRNA is 100–500 times more abundant than the α1C mRNA. We conclude that most, if not all, voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in hair cells contain an α1D subunit. Furthermore, we propose that the α1D subunit plays a hitherto undocumented role at tonic synapses.

B. Copies of three letters to Moody Noyes, 1800

It is unknown who made these manuscript copies of three letters from John Henry Tudor to Moody Noyes; they are not in Tudor's hand. The letters were written on September 23, 1800; November 7, 1800; and February 20, 1801. Noyes and Tudor were classmates at Harvard College, where both graduated in the class of 1800. The letters were written after they had graduated from Harvard, and in them Tudor recounts travels with his family around New England, including a stay in Saratoga and Ballston Springs, New York; his interest, shared by Moody, in entering into a store or other form of business, although he found "merchants in general [to be] a contemptible set of beings"; the maxims of the Duke de la Rochefoucauld; his hurt feelings at Moody's failure to answer his letters; and his imminent travels to Cuba with his brother, Frederic, made in hopes of restoring his health.

III. Diary, 1799

This diary, which John Henry Tudor titled A Registry of College Adventures, documents his life as a student at Harvard College. The entries describe his daily activities and notable events, including trips to the theater, hunting outings to "shoot Robbins," adventures with other students in local taverns, visits with his family in Boston and at the family estate, Rockwood, and the illumination of Cambridge in honor of George Washington's birthday. Tudor created and recorded a humorous classology, describing his peers at Harvard in a sometimes scathing manner, and also recorded information about those obliged to leave the College, usually following pranks or other unacceptable behavior. He also recounts his own involvement in pranks and other antics, which he believed to be the only antidote to the dullness of college life, and in one entry he describes an evening when he and several friends "disguised [them]selves like Negroes" and wandered into scholars' rooms without detection. Tudor was a member of the Hasty Pudding Club and the Porcellian Club ("the Pig club") while at Harvard and describes club meetings in several entries. There are also more reflective and personal entries, describing Tudor's feelings about his aging grandmother, his brother William's departure for Holland, and his desire for a "wife who shall make [him] happy[,] an affectionate dog [and] a farm & garden."

Letter to Moody Noyes from unknown author, ca. 1802

This letter is a memoir about John Henry Tudor, written after his death in 1802. It is addressed to Moody Noyes, who asked the author to record his sentiments and memories of Tudor. The author graduated from Harvard in the class behind Tudor, in 1801, and writes of him with great affection.

Letter from Charles Lowell to Delia Tudor, May 8, 1801

In this letter to John Henry Tudor's mother, Delia Tudor, Charles Lowell (Tudor's classmate in the Harvard College class of 1800) writes of his friendship and compassion for her son, and his hope that his health concerns will be resolved.
