This book is a comparative study of the political emergence of Perón in Argentina and Vargas in Brazil. it seeks to describe and explain how and why peronism and Varguism were two different political projects. Using the tools of political discourse theory, this book scrutinises the implications Perón and Vargas had for the formation of the political identities of the socio-political actors in both countries. the book shows to what extent the differential character of the process of formation of political identities had to do both with the structural context in which Vargas and Perón developed their strategy as well as with the specific ways in which both leaders intervened in the political formation. In this sense, the research stresses the specific discursive and institutional modes of intervention that characterised these two leaders’ projects and their role in the political imaginary they inaugurated. It does so by tracing the responses to Perón and Vargas by different socio-political actors and the polemic context in which those responses took place.

Carlos Casares é autor dun único texto dramático publicado, no que propón un novo modelo de creación dramática nun momento en que o campo literario galego estaba plenamente mediatizado pola loita contra a ditadura, polas liberdades e polo recoñecemento do carácter diferencial da nación galega. Neste artigo propoñemos unha lectura do texto nese contexto sociocultural e político, pero tamén á luz de diferentes teorías que permite considerar ata que punto no texto de Casares se estaban asentando os principios básicos do que se ten definido como literatura nacional, unha praxe artística que supera a instrumentalización e promove a autonomía discursiva.Carlos Casares is the author of a single published dramatic text, where he proposes a new model of dramatic enactment at a time when the literary field was fully mediated by the struggle against dictatorship, for freedom and for the recognition of the differential character of the Galician nation. In this paper we propose a reading of the text in that sociocultural and political context, but also to the light of different theories which allow us to consider to what extent this text by Casares was settling the basic principles of what has been defined as national literature, an artistic praxis with a strong discursive autonomy and devoid of instrumentalism.

This paper describes the morphology and anatomy of a structure which appears in the floral racemes of Genista florida L. subsp. polygaliphylla (Brot.) Couthino. In this subspecies the floral racemes have a small number of flowers. This structure develops quite frequently in this taxon, which is found in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, but never in Genista florida subsp. florida. Its morphology is simple: bottle-shaped, wide at the base and elongated to a narrow peak at the upper extreme. Anatomical examination shows that these structures have a close similarity to flowers. Since they develop by the oviposition of one insect of the Cecidomyiidae family in the floral buds, they can be considered galls. This fact is of great interest in the taxonomy of the group because the number of flowers is a differential character between the two subspecies of G. florida.

Student movements in United States during the 1960s enjoyed massive student support and participation, and resulted in significant changes within US universities. In part, it is the legacy of these victories that has been at stake, whether acknowledged as such or not, in the University of California student and faculty movements over the past two years. This essay considers the character of recent student and faculty opposition, both in relation to the earlier movement and to the differential character of oppositional politics in the two periods.

By morphological examination and with current cultural methods a clear differentiation cannot always be made between pneumococci and streptococci. The chief differential character usually depended upon is the capsule of the pneumococcus. Well-marked capsules, however, may occur on organisms which have with reason been classified as streptococci. On the other hand, capsules may not he demonstrable on pneumococci by the usual methods, especially when growing on artificial culture media. The usual cultural characters and reactions are at best not diagnostic, and are subject to variations which may render them useless as evidence of specific difference. The experiments recorded in this paper, however, afford some evidence that there are well-marked differences between the metabolic activities of pneumococci and streptococci, which may prove useful in the differentiation of these organisms. These differences in metabolism become apparent when the pneumococci and streptococci are cultivated in an alkaline serum medium, or in a serum medium to which the carbohydrate, inulin, has been added. Pneumococci slowly produce acid in the alkaline serum.

Difficulty is 'sometimes experienced in distinguishing between O. graminis and sterile fungi which form "Ophiobolus-like" runner hyphae on cereal roots. However, it is possible that nuclear distribution in mycelium may prove a differential character as different distributions have already been reported for O. graminis (Chambers and Flentje 1967) and a cereal root-attacking strain of Rhizoctonia solani (Flentje, Stretton, and Hawn 1963). This paper, therefore, describes comparisons of nuclear distribution in O. graminis and several other cereal root pathogens including a sterile fungus which formed Ophiobolus-like runner hyphae.
