AbstractThis article analyzes in depth the history of Petrona, an enslaved woman sold in Santa Fe (Argentina), sent to Buenos Aires and later possibly to Montevideo (Uruguay). By reconstructing her case, the article demonstrates how the legal status of enslaved persons was affected by the redefinitions of jurisdictions and by the forced or voluntary crossings between political units. This study also shows the circulation and uses of the Free Womb law in Argentina and Uruguay and traces legal experts’ debates over its meaning. At the same time, it reflects on the knowledge enslaved people had of those abolitionist norms and how they used them to resist forced relocations, attempt favorable migrations, or achieve full freedom. The article crosses analytical dimensions and historiographies—legal, social, and political— and articulates them by reflecting more broadly on these factors: the impact of the revolution of independence on enslaved persons’ lives, the scarce circulation of abolitionist public discourse in Río de la Plata, the gendered bias of the process, and the central yet untold uses of antislavery rhetoric in the national narratives.

The Maison Curutchet is the only house by Le Corbusier in America. The project was developed between 1948 to 1949 and built between 1949 to 1955 as a single-family dwelling and as a professional medical office to the well-known Dr. Pedro Domingo Curutchet in La Plata, Buenos Aires. In 2013–2014, Colegio de Arquitectos de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (CAPBA) which head office is settled there, decided to carry out a full maintenance, done with the strict criteria of minimizing the impact on the house and using as reference the original documentation. The process was coordinated by CAPBA's Enhancement Research Institute, led by the architect Pablo Mastropasqua, and directed by the architect Julio Santana.

Between November 1879 and January 1880, the argentine author Eduardo Gutierrez published a serialized narrative of the life of Juan Moreira in the Buenos Aires newspaper La Patria Argentina. Titled simply Juan Moreira, the heroic tale of the real-life outlaw went like this: Moreira was a good gaucho gone bad, who fought to preserve his honor against the backdrop of modernizing forces that were transforming life in this part of South America. His string of crimes and ultimate downfall resulted from his unjust persecution by corrupt state officials. The success of the serial surpassed all expectations. The paper's sales skyrocketed, and the melodramatic narrative soon appeared in book form. Enterprising printers produced tens of thousands of authorized and pirated editions to sell in the Rio de la Plata (Argentina and Uruguay), making Juan Moreira a leading example of everyday reading for the region's rapidly growing literate population and one of Latin America's pre-twentieth-century bestsellers (Acree, Everyday Reading; Gutiérrez, The Gaucho Juan Moreira).

This chapter describes a turning point in the history of Polish Socialism and its attitude towards the Jewish Question. In dealing with the concept of the Jewish Question, the intention is not, as is often the case, to dwell solely upon the legal status of Jews (emancipation) but to view the problems of Jewish existence in their diversity. According to one view, the dependence upon non Jewish society represents an integral element or, even a determinant, in these problems. In the context of Polish–Jewish relations from the historical perspective of the last hundred years, one may discern six aspects of the subject. These include the development of Socialist thought in its different versions as regards the Jews; the influence of the gradual growth and development of the emerging working class in Polish society; the influence of the relatively large involvement of Jews within the Socialist Labour Movement; the impact of the new processes which matured in the last quarter of the 19th century on the life of Eastern European Jewry in general, and on the Polish–Jewish area in particular; the growth alongside each other, but also in conflict, of two political and ideological movements — Polish Socialism and Jewish labour Socialism; and the tension between the Socialist and the national elements which was common to both yet different in its concrete content.

RésumésÀ la fin du xviiie siècle, la monarchie hispanique imagina de nouvelles solutions pour gouverner ses territoires compris entre le Sud de l’Amazonie, le détroit de Magellan et la cordillère andine. Peuplées de cultivateurs et d’éleveurs, ces immenses régions rurales restaient mal connues des autorités. Pourtant, parmi les réformes conduites en Amérique par Charles III – notamment l’adoption du système de l’intendance –, aucune n’abordait de front l’administration des campagnes, une question importante pour deux raisons. Premièrement, la majeure partie des habitants du Río de la Plata vivait à la campagne. Deuxièmement, les longues distances séparant ces territoires des villes où étaient fixées les représentants du pouvoir monarchique (Santa Fe, Buenos Aires ou Madrid) constituaient un défi de taille pour les autorités chargées de gouverner ces populations. L’abandon d’une analyse surplombante au profit d’une approche au ras du sol, attentive aux dynamiques locales, permet d’éclairer le fonctionnement de ces espaces éloignés des centres politiques de la monarchie. À travers une analyse microhistorique d’une série de transformations institutionnelles survenues dans la province du Río de la Plata, cet article montre comment des individus gouvernés réussirent à prendre part au gouvernement de leur territoire. La mobilisation de leurs réseaux leur permit de créer des institutions et une communauté politique locale.

"The history of Crystallography in Argentina is very rich, probably starting with the pioneer work of Prof. Ernesto Galloni in the decade of the `40s. Thanks to Prof. Galloni, the National Committee of Crystallography was founded in 1958 and recognized by the IUCr in 1960. This committee organized several scientific meetings and was in good contact with the Ibero American Crystallography Group during about 35 years. After some crisis in the late `90s, some young crystallographers decided to reorganize the activities and form the Argentinian Association of Crystallography (AACr), which was finally founded on October 30th, 2004, on the occasion of the ""National Workshop on Crystallography"" held in Villa Giardino, Province of Córdoba. Therefore, in the International Year of Crystallography, the AACr is also celebrating its tenth anniversary. The regular annual events of the AACr are a scientific meeting, a school on Crystallography and a workshop. This year, they will be held in Mar del Plata (Province of Buenos Aires) in the period of October 27th-Novembre 7th. In addition, many other academic activities such workshops or postgraduate courses are being organized in the whole country. It is worth to remark the School on Fundamental Crystallography to be held in La Plata, followed by an Agilent-UNESCO-IUCr OpenLab in La Plata and Buenos Aires, in April-May. Moreover, taking into account that Crystallography is a field that needs more promotion in our country, the AACr decided to propitiate several educational and dissemination activities. They include a national crystal growing contest, promotion of Crystallography in high and primary schools through the National Fairs of Science of the Ministry of Education, dissemination talks for different audiences, exhibitions, etc. Acknowledgements: The AACr thanks all the crystallographers that are working hard in these activities: G.

La finalización de la guerra de Sucesión y la firma del tratado de Utrecht significó para los territorios del Río de la Plata un cambio en la posición geoestratégica en la disputa territorial. Este artículo intenta analizar la reorganización en sus equipamientos políticos tomando como mirador una jurisdicción subordinada de la gobernación de Buenos Aires, la ciudad de Santa Fe. A partir de los perfiles de los tenientes de gobernador se pretende observar la articulación entre dinámica local y reformas borbónicas de este proceso de reorganización de los dispositivos político-militares.

La presente investigación se propone recuperar la densidad ideológica y material del movimiento político-cultural que se gestó en la ciudad de Buenos Aires en el marco de la Reforma Universitaria (1914-1930), y se ocupa de precisar las conexiones que ese movimiento tramó con las expresiones registradas en las ciudades de Córdoba, La Plata, Montevideo, Rosario y Santa Fe. Para ello son colocados en el centro del análisis los grupos estudiantiles y sus publicaciones periódicas. A su vez, la investigación se propone iluminar el itinerario intelectual de varios líderes estudiantiles y reconstruye la recepción de las tres figuras extranjeras que llegaron a la Argentina convocadas por los reformistas, a saber, el filósofo catalán Eugenio d'Ors, el fisiólogo judeoalemán Georg Nicolai y el economista, también judeoalemán, Alfons Goldschmidt. Si bien la investigación se apoya en los estudios previos sobre la Reforma Universitaria, la mayoría de los grupos, revistas y visitas aquí analizados permanecían muy poco explorados. Así, es fundamentalmente a través de un exhaustivo rastreo y análisis de las revistas, de los archivos personales y de la correspondencia de los protagonistas del movimiento estudiantil que la tesis busca iluminar todo un conjunto de prácticas, ideas y redes que terminaron conformando al estudiante como un nuevo actor de la sociedad moderna y a la Reforma Universitaria como un movimiento político-cultural de duradera proyección continental. Los distintos capítulos de la tesis exploran las iniciativas de los estudiantes universitarios porteños desde la fundación, durante la primera década del siglo XX, de centros de estudiantes y revistas que expresaron reclamos estudiantiles de carácter gremial hasta la aparición de grupos y publicaciones estudiantiles que construyeron una identidad socialista o nacionalista de la juventud universitaria, pasando por agrupaciones de carácter fundamentalmente cultural. Si bien el foco está puesto en la construcción del movimiento político-cultural de la Reforma, también es analizado el debate en torno del positivismo que atraviesa el proceso de configuración reformista. La primera parte de la tesis se concentra en la reconstrucción y el análisis de la sociabilidad e intervención propuestas por los tres grupos porteños que, en los años anteriores al estallido de la Reforma, más se empeñaron en la construcción de una identidad estudiantil que excediera los reclamos gremiales. Esos grupos son: el Centro Ariel y su revista <i>Ariel</i>; el Ateneo de Estudiantes Universitarios y su revista <i>Ideas</i>; y el Colegio Novecentista y sus <i>Cuadernos</i>. La segunda parte de la tesis se detiene en las estrategias culturales que desplegaron los grupos estudiantiles una vez que, hacia mediados de 1918, la Reforma y la coyuntura nacional e internacional instalaron entre los estudiantes una fuerte preocupación política. Si bien hacia 1928 quedó configurado un movimiento político-cultural reformista que, durante décadas, ligó al estudiante a una identidad latinoamericanista y antiimperialista, esta parte de la investigación muestra que en los diez años anteriores tuvieron lugar diversas empresas reformistas que propusieron asociar la figura del estudiante a identidades políticas tan diversas como el nacionalismo de resonancias católicas o el socialismo bolchevique. Entre esas olvidadas empresas, la presente tesis se detiene en la reconstrucción de la Federación de Asociación Culturales, de la Unión Reformista y de la Federación de Estudiantes Revolucionarios, así como de las revistas <i>Clarín</i>, <i>Revista Nacional</i>, <i>Bases</i>, <i>Insurrexit</i> y <i>Hoy</i>.

ABSTRACTThis article explores the impact of Asian goods in the Rio de la Plata area through the navigation course of two frigates of the Royal Company of Phillipines, forced by the maritime conflict between the Spanish and British Empires, dock in the Southern estuary. Examining the value and traits of the shipment and the details of the ‘comercio de pacotilla’, this study analyzes the distribution of the goods from China, Philippines and in particular, India, in the port basin, the hinterland of the Viceroyalty, and its connections to the Alto Peruvian space, the trans-Andean region, and the Littoral way to Paraguay. This episode enables an understanding of the distribution of goods, as well as a more detailed recognition of the actors of this traffic and a renewed evaluation of the role of the company in the global market of Asian goods.

How does one write the history of psychoanalysis? Although the question seems too broad it is still pertinent. In countries like Argentina, where psychoanalysis has become a Weltanschauung, traditional approaches from the history of science, the history of ideas or institutional history are insufficient to give a full account of its cultural implantation. There is a level of cultural reception that is unaccounted for by those approximations but which is, nevertheless, a constitutive component of the history of the discipline. Although some authors have identified a common “latin pattern” in the reception of psychoanalysis, national differences sometimes overcome similarities. Whereas psychoanalysis, for instance, started to be discussed in Argentine medical circles as early as in the 1910s, it did not have the influence in avant-garde literature that it had in France or Brazil. However, since the early 1920s psychoanalysis had an impact in popular magazines and publications in Buenos Aires. Only a multilayered analysis can provide a good understanding of the different patterns of reception of psychoanalysis. Elsewhere I dealt with the impact of psychoanalysis in the medical profession and in the teaching of psychology in Buenos Aires. My goal here is to analyze another area of diffusion of psychoanalysis: popular periodical publications. Although the massive diffusion of psychoanalysis in Argentina began in the 1960s, since the late 1920s popular magazines and publications introduced discussions on psychoanalysis and its creator, thus defining a space through which the discipline inserted itself in the culture of the city of Buenos Aires. It seems clear that in Argentina publications aimed at an expanded lower-middle class public, outside and beyond the restricted circle of the “republic of letters,” constituted an earlier path of reception for psychoanalysis than what is usually considered high literature.
