El objetivo del artículo es analizar de qué manera la legislación agraria, la tensión entre el ejecutivo estatal y los diputados locales, junto con el reclamo de exclusividad sobre la tierra baldía por parte del gobierno nacional, suscitaron incertidumbre sobre los derechos de propiedad en la primera mitad del siglo xix. Al enfocarse en las garantías sobre la tierra o las dificultad para acceder a ella, este artículo revela una vía de análisis que permitirá relacionar un escenario en el que ni el gobierno nacional ni el estatal lograban asegurar los derechos de propiedad, con la resistencia de los propietarios y poseedores de terrenos a pagar impuestos por sus predios rústicos.

This article analyzes Venezuelan Chavismo as an unstable formation gnawed by the unsolvable contradiction between, on the one hand, the politico-theological ambition to totalize sociality as a visible 'people' collected around the invisible 'Spirit' of Venezuela's 'Founding Father' Simón Bolívar and, on the other, the non-totalizable theopolitical energies of a social field suffused with myriad globalized 'spirits' that admits no clear-cut demarcation between 'visible' and 'invisible' or 'material' and 'spiritual'. Incapable of totalizing sociality as a discrete 'society', the political logic informing Chavismo, as with other recent populisms, shifts from hegemony to 'dominance without hegemony', a situation where, à la Humpty Dumpy, the 'people' is whatever is 'lovingly' decreed as such from above, always in tension with a host of deconstructive, often theopolitically imbued agencies and spirits.

En el año 2007 se realizó una reforma a la división político-administrativa de Chile, la cual permitió la creación de dos nuevas regiones. Los argumentos esgrimidos por el Ejecutivo para impulsar dicha instauración, se encontraron en las continuas demandas realizadas por la comunidad durante más de 30 años y por las condiciones de homología cultural, social y natural de esos territorios. Sin embargo, si se observan detenidamente algunos de los elementos estructurantes de esas nuevas regiones, resaltan algunos desequilibrios y diferencias territoriales. El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer el funcionamiento de las nuevas regiones, utilizando un modelo gráfico simple, basado en la técnica de la coremática. ; In 2007, there was a reform of the political-administrative division of Chile, which allowed the creation of two new regions. The competent authorities argued that there is a continuous regionalism demand made by the local community since a long time ago (more than 30 years), but it also exists homology of cultural, social and natural background of those territories. However, carefully observing some of the structural characteristics of these new regions, some imbalances and territorial differences can be seen. The aim of this research is to know the functioning of the new regions, by using a simple graphic model, based on the corematics skills. ; 87-107 ; rafael.sanchez-acuna@uibk.ac.at ; semestral

"Offers a new approach to the relationship between warfare and state construction. Historians looking at how war funding impinged on state development, and how state growth made wars more significant, have tended to downplay the role of military-provisioning entrepreneurs. This volume shows that the state-entrepreneur relationship was much more fluid and constant than previously thought. The author furnishes new insights into the role of military entrepreneurs in debates about warfare and state construction."--
