La demarcación historiográfica tradicional otorgó. a la historia rural rioplatense, colonial y de inicios del siglo XIX, un campo de análisis disociado de la historia urbana, que llevó. a explicar los procesos rurales a partir de la dualidad ciudad-campaña. Se reconstruye el recorrido historiográfico que permitió deconstruir esta mirada, a partir del estudio del área rural periurbana (un espacio productivo mercantil definido por sus múltiples relaciones con la ciudad), prestando atención a los actores vinculados con el abasto porteño. El marco cronológico elegido, caracterizado por la persistencia del crecimiento demográfico y económico en general, pero también por grandes mudanzas de índole política, institucional y mercantil, nos permite reflexionar sobre las continuidades y rupturas en la transición de la colonia al nuevo orden independiente. ; The traditional historiographical demarcation established a field of analysis for the rural history of the River Plate area during the Colonial period and the beginning of the 19th century that was dissociated from urban history. This led to the analysis of rural processes from the perspective of the dichotomy between city and countryside. The article reconstructs the historiographical path that led to the deconstruction of that approach, on the basis of the study of the peri-urban rural area (a commercial productive space defined by its multiple relations with the city), paying special attention to the actors involved in the food supply to Buenos Aires. The selected chronological framework, characterized by a steady demographic and overall economic growth, but also by great political, institutional, and commercial changes makes it possible to carry out a reflection on the continuities and discontinuities in the transition from the Colonial period to the new independent order.

Desde distintos enfoques, varias investigaciones recientes convergen en reflexionar sobre las transformaciones que afectaron al conjunto de la economía rioplatense en la transición de la colonia a la independencia. En esa dirección se orienta nuestro trabajo analizando la producción y la circulación mercantil periurbana orientada al abasto citadino porteño entre fines del siglo XVIII y la primera mitad del siglo XIX. En este trabajo focalizaremos nuestra atención en los cambios que el crecimiento urbano de Buenos Aires genera en la estructura productiva de su inmediata campaña y en cómo estas transformaciones impactan en el comercio minorista rural/urbano y entre sus agentes. Para ello recurriremos al análisis de diferentes fuentes documentales, entre las que se destacan los censos de población, las sucesiones patrimoniales y otros registros fiscales e impositivos. El marco cronológico elegido, caracterizado por la persistencia del crecimiento demográfico y económico en general pero, también, marcado por grandes mudanzas de índole política, institucional y mercantil, nos permitirá revisar las continuidades y rupturas que, para otros ámbitos, las investigaciones tienden a señalar. ; From different approaches and issues, several recent researches converge to reflect on the changes that affected the Río de la Plata economy in the transition from colony to independence. In this direction focuses our work trying to analyze the peri‑urban production and the supply of the Buenos Aires market between late‑eighteenth century and early‑nineteenth century. In this paper, we will focus our attention on the changes that urban growth generated in the productive structure of the Buenos Aires immediate hinterland and how these changes have an impact on rural/urban retail trade and among its agents. The analysis of different documentary sources, including population censuses, the patrimonial estates and other fiscal and tax records will allow us to follow to show these changes. The selected chronological framework, characterized by a persistent demographic and economic growth in addition to remarkable political ‑ intitutional and mercantil changes, will allow us to check the continuities and ruptures that, for other areas, the researches tends to point out. ; Fil: Ciliberto, Maria Valeria.

Worldwide, active aging policy calls for greater participation of senior citizens in the social, economic, and political realms. Despite emerging evidence of initiatives engaging senior citizens in social activities, little is known about the use of participatory approaches in the design and/or implementation of policies that matter to older citizens. This article identifies initiatives facilitating the civic participation of older people in policy-making in European Union member and associate states, drawing on a review of the literature, consultation of national policy experts, and exemplary case studies. Four main patterns of senior civic participation are identified: adopting consultative or co-decisional participatory approaches in policy design or policy implementation. The four are represented to varying degrees at different geographical levels (national, regional, local), with different actor configurations (appointed, elected/nominated, corporate representation), and with varying degree of institutionalization (temporary/permanent). Case studies illustrate approaches taken to enhance the quality and effectiveness of public services for senior citizens. Future research should strengthen this line of enquiry to cast further light on conditions facilitating the civic participation of senior citizens. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

El artículo revisa los relatos de Francisco de Amigorena y de Alexander Gillespie, un funcionario y un militar, escritos a fines del siglo XVIII e inicios del XIX, que han sido la base de la historiografía tradicional argentina sobre el mundo rural de Buenos Aires. Desde la perspectiva de la nueva historiografía económica argentina y de la historia del paisaje, replantea la imagen de la conformación de las clases dominantes rurales de la época y el papel económico del interior de la pampa de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Específicamente, el artículo cuestiona la idea de un espacio desierto, tal como la pintó la historiografía romántica, y propone el perfil de un hinterland heterogéneo, dedicado a distintas actividades. ; This article reviews the accounts of Francisco de Amigorena and Alexander Gillespie, a functionary and soldier, written at the end of the 18th Century and beginning of the 19th Century. These accounts formed the basis of the traditional Argentinian historiography of the rural areas of Buenos Aires. From the perspective of the new economic historiography in Argentina and of rural history, the article rethinks the image of the structure of the dominant rural classes of the age and the economic role of the interior of the pampa of the province of Buenos Aires. Specifically, the article questions the idea of the countryside as a deserted space such as it had been depicted in the romantic historiography, and the article proposes the outline of a heterogeneous hinterland dedicated to several activities.

Depuis une dizaine d'années, un nombre croissant d'Italiens embauche, à titre privé, des travailleurs migrants, pour des services d'aide à domicile. Ces aidants sont souvent hébergés chez l'employeur et s'occupent des personnes âgées fragiles. Ce phénomène a pris une ampleur considérable, avec une sorte d'«ethnicisation» du secteur des soins aux seniors. En effet, les ménages italiens sont de moins en moins en mesure de procurer une aide informelle, comme le voulait la tradition. Ce changement s'explique par la progression de l'emploi féminin, ainsi que par les différents mécanismes d'allocations versées pour pourvoir aux soins, susceptibles d'être cumulées (et qui sont préférées à la fourniture directe de soins), et par la vision culturelle encore «familialiste» qui explique l'aversion pour le placement en institut spécialisé. Cet article propose un aperçu des grandes tendances qui gouvernent actuellement l'offre et la demande d'aide et de soins aux personnes âgées en Italie, sous l'angle de la démographie, du marché du travail et de l'aide sociale, esquissant notamment les motivations qui poussent les familles italiennes à embaucher des aidants migrants à domicile, ainsi que les difficultés auxquelles ceux-ci sont confrontés, et conclut sur une analyse du rôle de médiation que pourrait jouer l'Union européenne pour traiter ce phénomène qui progresse à l'échelle internationale.

Active ageing is defined as the process of optimizing opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance quality of life as people age. The design of active ageing policies intersects with different overarching societal challenges, especially ageing populations, social rights and sustainability. However, there are no previous attempts to review active ageing policies in the light of these challenges and the international policy objectives and targets that are guiding the international community. The aim of this study is to systematically identify, review and analyse all national and regional policies on active ageing adopted in Italy, by applying a conceptual framework derived from main international policy initiatives in the three areas. The research was conducted in two stages. First, a case study analysis was carried out per each relevant national institution and regional government. Standardised interviews were combined with policy document search, selection and analysis. Second, we performed a policy analysis in the light of a conceptual framework adopted. This latter was composed by nine policy domains, selected and integrated from principles and objectives of three overarching international frameworks on ageing—i.e., the Regional Implementation Strategy (RIS) commitments of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (MIPAA), social rights—i.e., the European Pillar of Social Rights and sustainability—i.e., the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. Results pointed out that out of the identified nine policy fields, the major intervention areas by Italian policy makers concerned labour market participation, life-long learning, social and economic inequalities, health and well-being. Less attention had been given to issues such as gender and equal opportunities and sustainable cities. This systematic policy review is a milestone for understanding how active ageing policies contribute to address major societal challenges and what ...

Although the active ageing concept generally has positive connotations, with expected benefits at the micro, meso and macro levels, the application of this concept in terms of policy making presents challenges and risks to be avoided (for instance, a predominantly productivist interpretation and a top-down imposition with limited possibilities for bottom-up exchanges; or a disregard for the risk of excluding older people with more disadvantaged backgrounds). Two crucial strategies to minimise risks are the implementation of policies by considering and respecting territorial diversity, and the involvement of all the relevant stakeholders in a participatory consultative and co-decisional approach. This paper entwines both strategies together by focusing on Italian in-country differences in terms of active ageing, and employing the Active Ageing Index for policy-making purposes. This activity is part of a governmental national pilot project aimed at promoting multilevel co-managed co-ordination of active ageing policies across Italy. The analysis identified five groups of regions that differ from the classical, geographic and socio-economic division between the North, Centre and South. Additional in-group analyses were conducted to investigate within-cluster differences. This study will inform a large multilevel stakeholder network for evidence-based policies and their monitoring at both the national and regional levels, in line with the perspective of mainstreaming ageing.
