In this paper we explore the contribution of Kirmen Uribe, a Basque writer, artist and cultural activist, to the process of political reconciliation in the Basque country, a socially transforming compromise brought about by the dissolution of the Basque terrorist organization ETA in October 20th, 2011. Uribe achieved literary recognition and public notoriety within the Iberian cultural landscape with the publication of his novel Bilbao-New York-Bilbao in 2008, for which he received the Spanish National Literature Prize for Narrative in the following year. However, we argue that it is with his earlier collection of poems Bistatean Heldu Eskutik 'Meanwhile Take my Hand,' originally published in Euskara—the Basque language—in 2001, that Uribe initiates a strong, symbolic act towards reconciliation in Basque social relations. Using a methodological framework built on the juxtaposition of transnational and affect studies, we analyze the transformational thrust of an affective, reconciliatory language in Uribe's poems. Building on Deleuze and Guattari's notion of a minor literature, we first consider how this affective language overflows and deterritorializes the traditional geographical and discursive boundaries of Basque cultural nationalism; then, we analyze the production of Uribe's poetic expression within a specific temporality, in which Basque society demanded the end of violence in the Basque country; and, finally, we argue that this poet's self-conscious poetics of affect provides a cultural model for the democratization of the Basque social body reterritorialized in the transnational realm.

Abstract
The present work analyses the new Mexican Federal Law for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Indigenous and Afro-Mexican Peoples and Communities (Mexican sui generis law) against the benchmarks provided by the literature specialized in traditional knowledge (TK), traditional cultural expressions (TCEs) and genetic resources (GE). Having identified the elements that should be taken into consideration by any sui generis law, the work examines the consistency between them and the newly approved Mexican statute.

En el presente ensayo se discute el trabajo intitulado "Clave y cónclave. La codificación ética del desempeño antropológico" de José Sánchez Jiménez, quie analiza de manera comparativa la estructura normativa de dos códigos de ética del quehacer antropológico y se propone una forma de codificación que incorpora la relación entre axiología, responsabilidad en el obrar y el continuum antropológico. El propósito de mi trabajo consiste en presentar las dificultades de dicha propuesta y defender una ética simétrica ante contextos y situaciones morales específicas.

The article analyzes the laws related to communication and gender of nine Latin American countries in order to identify, by analyzing content, the ways in which the right to communication with gender perspective is mainstreamed. We present a brief summary of each national context, analyze how gender and the right to communication in each country is understood, create three types of cases to rank the countries –from the most advanced to the most laggards in the mainstreaming– of the right to communicate with a gender perspective, and finally, we identified international instruments and affirmative actions for the gender mainstreaming in communication key. ; En el artículo se analizan las legislaciones relacionadas con la comunicación y el género de nueve países de América Latina, con el fin de identificar, mediante el análisis de contenidos, los modos en que las leyes transversalizan el derecho a la comunicación y la perspectiva de género. Como resultado, se presenta un breve resumen de cada uno de los contextos nacionales, se analiza cómo se entiende el género y el derecho a la comunicación en cada país, se crean tres casos para clasificar los países estudiados –desde los más avanzados a los más rezagados en la transversalización– y, finalmente, se identifican los instrumentos internacionales y las acciones afirmativas para transversalizar el género en clave de comunicación.

Abstract In this work we present the growth and characterization of GaAs self-assembled quantum wires (SAQWRs), and InAs self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs) by molecular beam epitaxy on (631)-oriented GaAs substrates. Adatoms on the (631) crystal plane present a strong surface diffusion anisotropy which we use to induce preferential growth along one direction to produce SAQWRs. On the other hand, InAs SAQDs were obtained on GaAs(631) with SAQWRs by the Stransky–Krastanov (S-K) growth method. SAQDs grown directly on (631) substrates presented considerable fluctuations in size. We study the effects of growing a stressor layer before the SAQDs formation to reduce these fluctuations.Keywords : Quantum wires, quantum dots; selfassembly; molecular beam epitaxy.
