Book review: Manfredo Tafuri, Fernando Aliata, Anahi Ballent, Alejandro Crispiani, Mercedes Daguerre, Adrián Gorelik, Jorge Francisco Liernur, Graciela Silvestri, Tafuri en Argentina. Ediciones ARQ, Santiago de Chile, 2019, 276 págs. ISBN: 9789569571701. Tafuri in Argentina synthesises the intense relationship, over the last forty years, of an outstanding segment of the historiography of architecture in that country with the exceptional figure of Manfredo Tafuri (Rome, 4 November 1935 - Venice, 23 February 1994). This review, written from Seville, allows us to reiterate the particular Spanish-Argentine link that exists around his figure, within an intense process of internationalisation. With a singular analogy that should be highlighted. His first activities in Spain (Barcelona, 1971; Seville, 1974) were still under the dictatorship of General Franco; and his stay in Argentina (1981) in the final phase of his military dictatorship. In both cases, a vital, intellectual and political curiosity prevailed, responding to the demand of young colleagues of progressive left-wing thought, attracted by his novel contributions in the field of the theory and history of architecture. ; Recensión del libro: Manfredo Tafuri, Fernando Aliata, Anahi Ballent, Alejandro Crispiani, Mercedes Daguerre, Adrián Gorelik, Jorge Francisco Liernur, Graciela Silvestri, Tafuri en Argentina.

Ediciones ARQ, Santiago de Chile, 2019, 276 págs. ISBN: 9789569571701. Tafuri na Argentina sintetiza a intensa relação, nos últimos quarenta anos, de um segmento notável da historiografia da arquitetura daquele país com a figura excepcional de Manfredo Tafuri (Roma, 4 de novembro de 1935 - Veneza, 23 de fevereiro de 1994).

Almost twenty years after appearing on the science and technology policy agenda, nanosciences and nanotechnologies have managed to establish a name of their own. They have programs, projects and institutes and undergraduate and postgraduate courses that have allowed them to constitute an "ecosystem" and have managed to transcend different administrations. In this work, its evolution, the financing mechanisms with which this field was promoted and the impact that the different policies implemented in the last 10 years had on its development are analyzed. As a result, a certain inconsistency is observed between the explicit policies represented by the discourse and the relevance given to the field at the political level, within the framework of the Argentine STI complex and the implicit policies, expressed in the financing and scope of the implemented projects. It is proposed that this type of analysis on the dynamics of a field of knowledge considered strategic at the state level should be taken into account in terms of learning for the design of science and technology policies that are implemented in the country. ; A casi veinte años de la aparición en la agenda de políticas de ciencia y tecnología, las nanociencias y nanotecnologías han logrado constituir un nombre propio. Poseen programas, proyectos e institutos y carreras de grado y posgrados que le han permitido constituir un "ecosistema" y han logrado trascender diferentes gestiones. En este trabajo, se analiza su devenir, los mecanismos de financiamiento con los que se impulsó este campo y el impacto que tuvieron en su desarrollo las distintas políticas implementadas en los últimos 10 años. Como resultado se observa una cierta inconsistencia entre las políticas explícitas, representadas por el discurso y la relevancia otorgada al campo a nivel político, en el marco del complejo de CTI argentino y las políticas implícitas, expresadas en el financiamiento y alcance de los proyectos implementados. Se propone que este tipo de análisis sobre las dinámicas de un campo de conocimiento considerado estratégico a nivel estatal, debería tenerse en cuenta en términos de aprendizaje para el diseño de las políticas de Ciencia y tecnología que se implementan en el país. ; Quase vinte anos depois de aparecer na agenda da política de ciência e tecnologia, as nanociências e nanotecnologias conseguiram estabelecer um nome próprio.

Argentina does not have a general class action statute, but a 1994 constitutional reform allowed actions that defend collective interests and other third generation rights (e.g., the right to a healthy environment), granting standing to associations and to the Ombudsman. The Supreme Court restricted these actions to the protection of truly collective interests, thus rejecting them when they were brought to defend multiple homogeneous interests (e.g., small damages for many consumers). A recent amendment of the Consumer Protection Law allows the Ombudsman, as well as associations, to sue for damages caused to consumers and grants erga omnes effect to the judgment. Similar rules are included in federal and provincial laws that protect the environment.

Los flujos migratorios en el mundo actual son muy intensos y responden a múltiples causas. En torno a la combinación de ellas se desarrollan varias tipologías que hacen a la complejidad del fenómeno migratorio. En el contexto de las migraciones intrarregionales en América cobra visibilidad, en los últimos cinco años, la migración forzada que impulsan miles de venezolanos, producto de la crisis política por la que atraviesa actualmente este país sudamericano, siendo a su vez, una migración de tipo calificada. El objetivo del trabajo es analizar las características del flujo migratorio reciente de venezolanos hacia Bahía Blanca y las especificidades del espacio migratorio en construcción. Se aplica una metodología de tipo mixta, cuanti–cualitativa a partir de la información producida por diferentes fuentes, incluyendo también la vivencia personal desde una perspectiva situada. Se recurrió a un estudio de caso como referente local de las tendencias globales en torno a los movimientos migratorios recientes. Los venezolanos en el área de estudio conforman una comunidad que vislumbra características transnacionales, lo cual se puede corroborar a través de las diversas prácticas, actividades, experiencias de vida y sentidos subjetivos de estos grupos. ; Os fluxos migratórios no mundo atual são muito intensos e respondem a múltiplas causas.

Around the combination of them, several typologies are developed that make up the complexity of the migratory phenomenon. In the context of intra-regional migrations in America, in the last five years, forced migration promoted by thousands of Venezuelans has gained visibility, as a result of the political crisis that this South American country is currently going through, being, in turn, a migration of the type qualified. The objective of the work is to analyze the characteristics of the recent migratory flow of Venezuelans to Bahía Blanca and the specificities of the migratory space under construction. A mixed, quantitative - qualitative methodology is applied based on the information produced by different sources, also including personal experience from a situated perspective. A case study was used as a local benchmark for global trends around recent migratory movements. Venezuelans in the study area make up a community that glimpses transnational characteristics, which can be corroborated through the various practices, activities, life experiences and subjective senses of these groups.
