El presente proyecto de investigación analiza la relación entre sociedad y política en la Argentina entre 1955 y 1976. Se trata de un período signado por una aguda crisis socio-política, una profunda pérdida de legitimidad de las instituciones y el Estado y en que la acelerada modernización socio-cultural posterior a 1955 se combinó rápidamente con una tendencia a la radicalización política. Uno de los primeros efectos de este proceso fue la recomposición de la izquierda. Del seno de sus partidos "tradicionales" (el Partido Comunista y Socialista) surgieron diversas formaciones de la "nueva izquierda", mientras que rupturas y transformaciones similares se verificaban en sectores nacionalistas, peronistas y cristianos. Estos nuevos actores sociales y políticos solieron orientarse hacia objetivos que proclamaron la "liberación nacional" y el "socialismo" y hacia estrategias revolucionarias. Nuestro trabajo se interesa centralmente en reconstruir los orígenes de las nuevas prácticas y organizaciones surgidas por entonces así como las formas de articulación entre demandas sociales y propuestas políticas, y entre elencos dirigentes y sectores populares. A su vez, examina una multiplicidad de "casos" que formaron parte de este social y políticamente variado campo, sin subsumirlo exclusivamente al accionar de las organizaciones armadas. ; This research project analyzes the relationship between society and politics in Argentina between 1955 and 1976. This is a period marked by an acute socio-political crisis, a profound loss of legitimacy of the institutions and the state and that the accelerated socio-cultural modernization after 1955 was quickly combined with a tendency to political radicalization. One of the first effects of this process was the restructuring of the left. From their "traditional" parties (the Communist Party and Socialist) emerged various formations of the "new left", while ruptures and similar transformations were verified in "peronistas", nationalist, and christians sectors. These new social and political actors tended to move towards objectives that proclaimed "national liberation" and "socialism" and to revolutionary strategies. Our work is centrally interested in reconstructing the origins of the new practices and organizations emerged and forms of articulation between social demands and policy proposals, and between leadership groupsand and popular sectors. In turn, examines a multiplicity of "cases" that were part of this process, without subsuming exclusively to the actions of the armed organizations. ; Fil: Volontè, Fernanda.

SummaryA Study of New Farmers in IsraelThis paper presents the background and the theoretical framework of a study carried out in Israel in new immigrants' smallholders' cooperative villages (the Moshavim). The aim of the study has been to analyse processes of mutual social change and acculturation resulting from the confrontation of the Moshav with various population types. For this purpose, the economic, social, ideological and organizational norms and conditions of the Moshav are first examined in detail, and then related to relevant characteristics of the different settler groups. These characteristics are spelled out in three broad factors. A. The basic socio‐cultural predispositions of the settlers, embedded in the nature of the family, the economy, the society, the polity, and the values of the country of origin. In order to classify the settlers in respect to these characteristics, and to predict their adjustment to the Moshav, a modified concept of the traditional‐modern continuum is employed. B. Socio‐dynamic predispositions, cutting across this continuum and determining the ability to change. Here attention is paid to such factors as stability of primary groups, security of status, and structure of leadership elite in the communities of origin. C. Cultural‐dynamic predispositions – chiefly the power of analytical thinking, generalisation and abstraction – affecting learning ability and the capacity for understanding new social situations. Finally, the settlement process itself is considered, as regards such factors as selection of settlers, communication, rate of development, etc.RésuméÉtude Sur Les Nouveaux Agriculteurs En IsraëlCet article fournit les bases et le cadre théorique d'une étude menée en Israel sur les villages coopératifs de petits exploitants récemment immigrés (Moshavim). Le but de l'étude a été l'analyse du processus de changement social réciproque et de l'acculturation résultant de la réaction vis à vis du Moshav des divers types de population. Dans cet objectif, les normes économiques sociales, idéologiques et organisationnelles et autres caractéristiques de Moshav sont d'abord examinées en détail et ensuite rapportées aux caractères pertinents des divers groupes de colons.Ces caractéristiques sont exprimées en fonction de trois facteurs: A. Les prédispositions fondamentales des colons au point de vue socio‐culturel contenu dans la nature familiale, l'économie, la société, la politique et les valeurs du pays d'origine. De manière à classer les colons en regard de ces caractéristiques et à prévoir leur ajustement au Moshav, un concept modifié du continuum »traditionnel‐moderne« est employé. B. Les prédispositions socio‐dynamiques intervenant dans le continuum et déterminant l'aptitude au changement. Ici l'attention est attirée sur des facteurs tels que la stabilité des groupes primaires, sécurité des statuts et structure de l'élite dirigeante dans les communautés d'origine. C. Prédispositions dans le domaine culturel, principalement la capacité d'analyse, de généralisation et d'abstraction influençant l'aptitude à apprendre et la compréhension des situations sociales nouvelles. Enfin le processus de colonisation en lui‐même est envisagé en fonction des facteurs tels que sélection des colons, communication, taux de croissance, etc.ZusammenfassungEine Untersuchung Über Neue Landwirte in IsraelDer vorliegende Beitrag befaßt sich mit dem Hintergrund und dem theoretischen Rahmen einer Untersuchung, die in Israel in kleinbäuerlichen Genossenschaftsdörfern mit Neueinwanderern(Moshavim) durchgeführt wurde. Das Ziel der Studie war, den Prozeß des wechselseitigen sozialen Wandels und der Akkulturation als Ergebnis der Gegen‐überstellung des Moshav mit verschiedenen Bevölkerungstypen zu analysieren. Zu diesem Zweck werden zunächst die ökonomischen, sozialen, ideologischen und institutionellen Normen und Verhaältnisse des Moshav im einzelnen untersucht und dann zu relevanten Merkmalen verschiedener Siedlergruppen in Beziehung gesetzet. Diese Merkmale gliedern sich in drei große Faktorengruppen: A. Die sozio‐kulturellen Grundanschauungen der Siedler, die sich aus dem Wesen von Familie, Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft, Verfassung und den Wertvorstellungen im Ursprungsland ergeben. Um die Siedler im Hinblick auf diese Merkmale einzuordnen und ihre Anpassungsfähigkeit an das Moshav zu beurteilen, wird ein modinziertes Konzept des Kontinuums "traditional‐modern" verwendet. B. Die sozio‐dynamischcn Anlagen, die über dieses Kontinuum hinweg die Fähigkeit zum Wandel bestimmen. Dabei werden Faktoren, wie Stabilität von Primärgruppen, Sicherheit des Status und Struktur der Elite in den Herkunftsgemeinden beräcksichtigt. C. Kulturell‐dynamische Eigenschaften – besonders die Fähigkeit, zum analytischen Denken, zur Verallgemeinerung und Abstraktion –, die die Fähigkeit zum Lernen und zum Verstehen neuer sozialer Situationen beeinflussen. Schließlich wird der Siedlungs‐prozeß selbst beobachtet, soweit es Faktoren wie Auswahl der Siedler, Kommunikation, Entwicklungsgrad usw, betrifft.

Globalization has resulted in the increased internationalization of higher education with most universities hosting international students and sending domestic students on international learning experiences. As part of this trend, many undergraduate nursing programs offer study abroad clinical placements to promote cultural sensitivity and global citizenship. While there is an abundance of research evaluating student perceptions of specific international study abroad experiences soon upon their return, there is little research exploring longer-term perspectives of participants across a range of diverse international placement sites. To provide guidance for their study abroad program, a nursing school in western Canada gathered the perspectives of participants from the previous one to eight years. These currently practicing registered nurses had clinical placements in one of six countries across four continents between 2008 and 2015 as part of their undergraduate nursing education. In total 35 participants completed an online survey with 13 agreeing to an individual, semi-structured follow-up interview to elicit more detailed responses. The study was guided by Thorne's interpretive description qualitative approach. The key beneficial features of their experience identified by the participants included cross-cultural learning, relationship building, and exposure to diverse health contexts. Narratives also captured challenges including cultural adjustment, financial burden, meeting placement and academic expectations, and issues of social injustice/inequality. The participants provided advice for the planning and delivery of international nursing clinical placements and recommended close curricular alignment between the course and placement site, faculty presence, and thorough student pre-departure preparation as essential components of study abroad nursing programs. The narratives highlighted the importance of faculty guidance to help participants move toward critical global citizenship by assessing their own beliefs and assumptions while considering the historical, sociocultural, economic, and political factors as well as other perspectives evident in the host placement context. Such transformational learning should be reinforced by the integration of social responsibility and global citizenship within undergraduate nursing curricula to ensure all nursing graduates are exposed to these critical worldviews. The findings provide guidance for the delivery of future international placements at this school of nursing and may help inform the design and implementation of similar programs. These registered nurses reinforced the value of study abroad as rich experiential learning opportunities that facilitate long-term cultural competence and a critical global nursing perspective. Résumé La mondialisation a entraîné une internationalisation accrue de l'enseignement supérieur, la plupart des universités accueillant des étudiants internationaux et soutenant la mobilité de ses propres étudiants pour une partie de leur formation à l'international. Suivant cette tendance, de nombreux programmes de premier cycle en sciences infirmières offrent des stages cliniques à l'international pour soutenir le développement de leur sensibilité culturelle et citoyenneté mondiale. Bien que plusieurs recherches portent sur les perceptions d'étudiantes peu après leur retour d'expériences spécifiques d'études à l'international, peu de recherches ont examiné la perspective à plus long terme des participantes à des stages dans divers contextes internationaux. Afin d'orienter son programme de stages à l'international, une école de sciences infirmières de l'Ouest canadien a recueilli le point de vue de participantes des dernières huit années. Celles-ci, désormais infirmières en exercice, avaient fait un stage clinique dans un de six pays répartis sur quatre continents, au cours de leurs études de premier cycle en sciences infirmières, entre 2008 et 2015. Au total, 35 participantes ont répondu à un sondage en ligne et 13 d'entre elles ont accepté de prendre part à un entretien individuel subséquent semi-dirigé afin d'approfondir leurs réponses. La recherche était guidée par l'approche qualitative de description interprétative proposée par Thorne. Parmi les plus grands avantages de l'expérience, identifiés par les participantes, notons l'apprentissage interculturel, la création de relations et l'exposition à divers contextes de santé. Les récits décrivaient aussi certains défis, dont l'adaptation culturelle, le fardeau financier, le respect des exigences à la fois du milieu de stage et du milieu de formation, ainsi que les questions d'injustice/ inégalité sociale. Les participantes ont formulé des recommandations pour la planification et la réalisation de stages cliniques internationaux en sciences infirmières, et ont jugé essentiels ces éléments pour tout programme de mobilité : un lien pédagogique étroit entre le cours et le milieu de stage, la présence d'un membre du corps professoral et la préparation minutieuse des étudiantes avant leur départ. Les récits soulignaient l'importance de l'encadrement professoral pour soutenir le développement des participantes vers une citoyenneté mondiale critique en analysant leurs propres croyances et idées préconçues, tout en tenant compte des facteurs historiques, socioculturels, économiques et politiques, ainsi que d'autres perspectives observées dans le milieu d'accueil du stage. Une telle expérience d'apprentissage transformationnelle devrait être consolidée par l'intégration des notions de responsabilité sociale et de citoyenneté mondiale dans le programme d'études de premier cycle en sciences infirmières, de sorte que toutes les diplômées soient exposées à ces visions du monde essentielles. Les résultats ont servi à orienter le format des prochains stages internationaux dans cette école de sciences infirmières et pourraient contribuer à la conception et à la mise en œuvre de programmes similaires. Ces infirmières en exercice ont réaffirmé l'importance des études à l'international comme étant de riches occasions d'apprentissage expérientiel, qui favorisent une intégration durable de la compétence culturelle et une perspective globale critique en sciences infirmières.

Nei quasi tre decenni dalla nascita della cosiddetta "letteratura della migrazione" gli studi critici sulle scritture in lingua italiana ad opera di autori stranieri si sono consolidati – osservando da vicino le innovazioni stilistiche o le contaminazioni lessicali e semantiche – e ampliati – adottando metodi e teorie filosofiche, etiche e politiche derivanti dagli studi postcoloniali. Nonostante ciò ben poca attenzione è stata dedicata al posto che i testi occupano nella società e nel mercato italiani. Un'analisi complessa delle scritture migranti italiane non può tuttavia prescindere dalla considerazione del testo come oggetto culturale, indagato cioè in quanto creazione individuale e collettiva, prodotto del mercato letterario e del sistema culturale italiano, bene di consumo ad uso di uno specifico pubblico e rappresentazione intesa come produzione di un significato. Sullo sfondo degli studi critici attuali e attraverso lo studio di specifiche opere – si prenderanno in considerazione soprattutto le opere di maggior successo degli ultimi trent'anni – e con l'aiuto di un esame particolareggiato degli elementi paratestuali, si intende dunque interrogare i testi sulle scelte narrative, le influenze socio-culturali e la dimensione valoriale in cui si collocano nella contemporaneità. Accanto alle forme di resistenza e decostruzione si colloca infatti la strumentalizzazione della condizione di marginalità, ottenuta mediante il reimpiego strategico di elementi stereotipati ed esotici come la drammatizzazione della differenza etnica e sessuale: un processo che è bene studiare a fondo, respingendo facili considerazioni di auto-subordinazione, ma misurandone le potenzialità sovversive nei confronti delle strutture di potere dominanti, e intendendolo come forma di agency contemporanea. In breve, l'oggetto – o meglio il soggetto – di questo studio sarà il ruolo assunto dalla produzione letteraria migrante e postcoloniale nel mercato editoriale italiano, al fine di esplorarne le modalità ed evidenziarne il grado di adesione ai paradigmi neocoloniali o le potenzialità di resistenza. ; In almost three decades since the birth "Italian Migration Literature", critical studies on Italian writings by foreign authors consolidated – closely observing stylistic innovations or lexical and semantic contamination – and expanded – by adopting philosophical, ethical and political methods and theories deriving from postcolonial studies. Despite this, little attention has been paid to the place that texts occupy in Italian society and market. However, an exhaustive analysis of migrant writings cannot ignore the consideration of the text as a cultural object, examined as both individual and collective creation, product of the literary marketplace and of the Italian cultural system, consumer good for a specific audience and representation as a production of meaning. Against the background of recent critical studies and through the study of specific works - the most successful works of the last thirty years will be taken into consideration - and with the help of a detailed examination of the paratextual elements, we therefore intend to interrogate the texts on narrative choices, socio-cultural influences and the value dimension in which they are placed today. Alongside the forms of resistance and deconstruction there is in fact the exploitation of the condition of marginality, obtained through the strategic reuse of stereotyped and exotic elements such as the dramatization of ethnic and sexual difference: a process that requires a thorough investigation, rejecting easy considerations of subordination, but by measuring its subversive potentialities against the dominant power structures, and understanding it as a form of contemporary agency. In short, the object - or rather the subject - of this study will be the role assumed by migrant and postcolonial literary production in Italian publishing market, in order to explore its methods and highlight their degree of adhesion to the neo-colonial paradigms or their potential of resistance.

Se estudiaron 12 fincas campesinas agroecológicas en los municipios de Guasca (Cundinamarca), Paipa y Duitama (Boyacá), con el objetivo de: 1. identificar posibles impactos de la variabilidad climática sobre la producción, incidencia de plagas y enfermedades, e ingresos; 2. analizar las capacidades, potencialidades y limitantes de cada agroecosistema para mitigar, afrontar y adaptarse a la variabilidad y el cambio climático (resiliencia). Se evaluaron y calificaron 58 variables de orden biofísico y cultural agrupadas en 11 componentes: condiciones físicas; calidad del suelo; manejo del suelo, agua y cultivos; estructura agroecológica principal (EAP); y aspectos sociales, económicos, institucionales, políticos y tecnológicos. La metodología abarcó revisión de fuentes secundarias y visitas de campo, en las que se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas, observación participante y cartografía social, junto con una descripción biofísica de las fincas, sus suelos, prácticas agrícolas y dinámicas productivas. Los resultados muestran que todos los agricultores han sufrido impactos negativos asociados a fenómenos de variabilidad climática, siendo la escasez de agua la causa más frecuente, seguida de las heladas y las lluvias intensas e inundaciones, con diferencias marcadas entre localidades. La calificación global de la resiliencia ubicó a todas las fincas en niveles similares (entre 3,74 y 2,83), siendo estos en general ligeramente superiores en la localidad Guasca (media 3,47) respecto a Paipa-Duitama (media 3,11). El manejo agroecológico de suelos y cultivos, el aporte de materia orgánica al suelo, la cosecha de agua lluvia, la construcción de reservorios, los sistemas de riego e invernaderos de pequeña escala, sumados a las dinámicas de organización social y asociatividad productiva, mostraron ser las estrategias más importantes para incrementar la resiliencia de los agroecosistemas, en tanto que las principales barreras para su adopción y escalamiento fueron el limitado acceso a capital, mercados, financiamiento y asistencia técnica. ; Abstract. There were studied 12 agroecological smallholder farms in the municipalities of Guasca (Cundinamarca), Paipa and Duitama (Boyacá), in order to: 1. identify potential impacts of climate variability on production, incidence of pests and diseases, and income; 2: analyze the capabilities, potentialities and limitations of each agroecosystem to mitigate, cope and adapt to climate change and variability (resilience). There were evaluated and scored 58 biophysical and cultural variables, grouped into 11 components: physical conditions; soil quality; soil, water and crop management; main agroecological structure (MAS); and social, economic, institutional, political, and technological aspects. The methodology included the review of secondary sources and field visits, in which semi-structured interviews, participant observation and social mapping were conducted, along with a description of biophysical, soil and agricultural characteristics of each farm. The results show that all farmers have faced negative impacts associated to climate variability, being water scarcity the most common cause, followed by frost and heavy rains and flooding, with marked differences between locations. The overall resilience level rated all farms at similar levels (between 3.74 and 2.83), being slightly higher in the Guasca locality (average 3.47) compared with Paipa-Duitama (average 3.11). Agroecological management of soils and crops, addition of organic matter to the soil, rain-water harvesting, construction of reservoirs, small-scale irrigation systems and greenhouses, coupled with social organization and productive association, proved to be the most important strategies to increase the resilience of agroecosystems, while the main barriers to their adoption and scaling up were the limited access to capital, markets, financing and technical assistance. ; Maestría

Looted art, art theft, colonial collections of cultural objects – not only since the controversy over the Nigerian Benin bronzes at the Humboldt Forum in the German capital Berlin and other European museums a dispute over how to deal with exhibits from colonial contexts erupted. The debate, which has been ongoing among experts for some time, gained new political momentum in 2018 when France's President Macron announced that objects of colonial provenance in French museums would be returned to their societies of origin, and initiated concrete steps. The demand for restitution of art treasures of colonial provenance raises fundamental and extremely complex questions about the presence of the past in ethical, scientific, political, legal and aesthetic dimensions. They concern art historians and museum professionals, cultural historians, historians of science, lawyers and history teachers as well as visitors to museums with colonial collections, who are made aware of the provenance of objects there. This volume, published in Germany in 2021, was a first attempt at illuminating the historio-cultural dimensions of the debate and bringing them to the attention of a broader public. German and international authors contributed essays making clear, how important it is to take a differentiated look at a central part of the current social debate on the legacy of colonialism. This volume was well received. As colonialism is by definition an international phenomenon, the current debate in Germany is presented here in an English language version now.

The "happiness agenda" is a worldwide movement that claims that happiness is the highest good, happiness can be measured, and public policy should promote happiness. Against Happiness is a thorough and powerful critique of this program, revealing the flaws of its concept of happiness and advocating a renewed focus on equality and justice.Written by an interdisciplinary team of authors, this book provides both theoretical and empirical analysis of the limitations of the happiness agenda. The authors emphasize that this movement draws on a parochial, Western-centric philosophical basis and demographic sample. They show that happiness defined as subjective satisfaction or a surplus of positive emotions bears little resemblance to the richer and more nuanced concepts of the good life found in many world traditions. Cross-cultural philosophy, comparative theology, and social and cultural psychology all teach that cultures and subcultures vary in how much value they place on life satisfaction or feeling happy. Furthermore, the ideas promoted by the happiness agenda can compete with rights, justice, sustainability, and equality—and even conceal racial and gender injustice.Against Happiness argues that a better way forward requires integration of cross-cultural philosophical, ethical, and political thought with critical social science. Ultimately, the authors contend, happiness should be a secondary goal—worth pursuing only if it is contingent on the demands of justice

The year 2018 marks the twentieth anniversary of the signing of the Belfast Agreement that initiated an uneasy peace in Northern Ireland after the forty years of the Troubles. The last twenty years, however, has still not been sufficient time to satisfactorily resolve the issue of how to deal with the events of the conflict and the dissonant heritages that both gave rise to it and were, in turn, fuelled by it. With contributions from across the UK and Europe, Heritage after Conflict brings together a range of expertise to examine the work to which heritage is currently being put within Northern Ireland.Questions about the contemporary application of remembering infiltrate every aspect of heritage studies, including built heritages, urban regeneration and planning, tourism, museum provision and intangible cultural heritages. These represent challenges for heritage professionals, who must carefully consider how they might curate and conserve dissonant heritages without exacerbating political tensions that might spark violence. Through a lens of critical heritage studies, contributors to this book locate their work within the wider contexts of post-conflict societies, divided cities and dissonant heritages.Heritage after Conflict should be essential reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate students engaged in the study of the social sciences, history, peace studies, economics, cultural geography, museum heritage and cultural policy, and the creative arts. It should also be of great interest to heritage professionals.

"The "New Negro" consciousness with its roots in the generation born in the last and opening decades of the 19th and 20th centuries replenished and nurtured by migration, resulted in the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s then reemerged transformed in the 1930s as the Black Chicago Renaissance. The authors in this volume argue that beginning in the 1930s and lasting into the 1950s, Black Chicago experienced a cultural renaissance that rivaled the cultural outpouring in Harlem. The Black Chicago Renaissance, however, has not received its full due. This book addresses that neglect. Like Harlem, Chicago had become a major destination for black southern migrants. Unlike Harlem, it was also an urban industrial center that gave a unique working class and internationalist perspective to the cultural work that took place here. The contributors to Black Chicago Renaissance analyze a prolific period of African American creativity in music, performance art, social science scholarship, and visual and literary artistic expression. Each author discusses forces that distinguished and link the Black Chicago Renaissance to the Harlem Renaissance as well as placing the development of black culture in a national and international context by probing the histories of multiple (sequential and overlapping--Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles, Memphis) black renaissances. Among the topics discussed in this volume are Chicago writers Gwendolyn Brooks and Richard Wright, The Chicago Defender and Tivoli Theater, African American music and visual arts, as well as the American Negro Exposition of 1940"--

In the early nineteenth century, German intellectuals such as Novalis, Schelling, and Friedrich Schlegel, convinced that Germany's cultural origins lay in ancient India, attempted to reconcile these origins with their imagined destiny as saviors of a degenerate Europe, then shifted from 'Indomania' to Indophobia when the attempt foundered. The philosophers Hegel, Schopenhauer, and, later, Nietzsche provided alternate views of the role of India in world history that would be disastrously misappropriated in the twentieth century. Reconstructing Hellenistic and humanist views of the ancient Brahmins and Goths, French-Enlightenment debates over the postdiluvian origins of the arts and sciences, and the Indophilia and protonationalism of Herder, Robert Cowan focuses on turning points in the development of an 'Indo-German' ideal, an ideal less focused on intellectual imperialism than many studies of the 'Aryan Myth' and Orientalism would have us believe. Cowan argues that the study of this ideal continues to offer lessons about cultural difference in the 'post-national' twenty-first century. Of great interest to historians, philosophers, and literary scholars, this cross-cultural study offers a new understanding of the Indo-German story by showing that attempts to establish identity necessarily involve a reconciliation of origins and destinies, of self and other, of individual and collective.
