Marriage, in all human societies, usually occurs between individuals belonging to socially endogomous groups. But there are always important exceptions to this dicta. A society's reactions to these exceptions helps to explain its attitude toward social mobility and social change. This study looks at marriage oppositions in late eighteenth century Rio de la Plata in an attempt to understand better marriage, colonial society and the role of women.

En este artículo se muestran algunos argumentos presentes en los debates actuales sobre democracia paritaria. Asimismo, se analizan determinadas políticas y estrategias feministas con el objeto de señalar aquellas que resulten más viables políticamente para la ampliación de los derechos de las mujeres. En esta dirección, se señala que las políticas de la igualdad y de la paridad son las más plausibles y que su éxito depende de que las mujeres se constituyan en un sujeto político colectivo. En la última parte de este texto se argumenta sobre la necesidad de construir una identidad política para el feminismo, desde el supuesto de que esta identidad debe ser contingente y antiesencialista. ; This paper reviews some of the arguments which feature in current debates on sexual equality in democracy.

Changes in US policy pre- & post-September 11 (2001) & their implications for Latin America are reviewed. Prior to the September 11 terrorist attack, President George W. Bush supported a defined inter-American policy, but thereafter, at least in the cases of Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico, & Chile, the causes of free trade & democratization of the hemisphere suffered setbacks. Bush's government has done little to alleviate the governability crisis in Latin America. It appears as though the US is pursuing a unipolar policy & even has imperial designs. Since Latin America has embraced US values such as democracy & the free market, it must insist on a dialogue with the US to rectify US policies toward Latin America & the US rejection of multilateral nationalism.

The serious economic and governance crisis that is beginning to affect Latin America, and especially South America, raises the issue of the policy that the United States has applied towards the region during the administration of President George W. Bush. This article highlights the shift between "before" and "after" the 9/11 attacks. While at the beginning the Bush administration gave all kinds of indications of being committed to an inter-American policy that would advance toward the goals set at the various summits of the Americas, after 9/11 the opposite has happened. The policy followed towards several Latin American countries indicates a serious setback in commitments to the causes of free trade and democracy in the hemisphere. ; La seria crisis económica y de gobernabilidad que está comenzando a afectar a América Latina, y especialmente a Sudamérica, pone sobre el tapete el tema de la política que ha aplicado Estados Unidos hacia la región durante el gobierno del presidente George W. Bush. Este artículo subraya el cambio que se da entre el "antes" y el "después" de los ataques del 11/9. Mientras que al comienzo el gobierno del presidente Bush dio todo tipo de indicaciones de estar comprometido con una política interamericana que avanzara hacia las metas fijadas en las distintas cumbres de las Américas, después del 11-9 ha ocurrido todo lo contrario. La política seguida hacia varios países de América Latina indica un serio retroceso en los compromisos con las causas del libre comercio y la democracia en el hemisferio.

The left and right are changing and become entangled in ideological redefinitions. The thesis of machismo is not far behind, some attribute it to the established patriarchal system, others argue that it is only a disguise used by women to hide their refusal to take risks and responsibilities.Environment brings together three prominent women in the political and social field to discuss the issue, and offers readers extracts of their coincidences, differences and conclusions.The election of the interviewees was difficult, but it guaranteed the diversity of opinions: Gloria Salguero Gross, former president of the Legislative Assembly and of ARENA, party associated with conservative ideas; Morena Herrera, leader of Las Dignas, a feminist movement considered one of the most radical in the country; and Sandra de Barraza, of moderate thinking, coordinator of the National Development Commission. ; La izquierda y derecha están cambiando y se enmarañan en redefiniciones ideológicas. La tesis del machismo no se queda atrás, algunos la atribuyen al sistema patriarcal establecido, otros argumentan que es sólo un disfraz utilizado por las mujeres para ocultar su negativa a asumir riesgos y responsabilidades.Entorno reúne a tres mujeres destacadas en el ámbito político y social para debatir sobre el tema, y les ofrece a los lectores extractos de sus coincidencias, diferencias y conclusiones.La elección de las entrevistadas fue difícil, pero garantizó la diversidad de opiniones: Gloria Salguero Gross, ex presidenta de la Asamblea Legislativa y de ARENA, partido asociado con ideas conservadoras; Morena Herrera, líder de Las Dignas, movimiento feminista considerado de los más radicales en el país; y Sandra de Barraza, de pensamiento moderado, coordinadora de la Comisión Nacional de Desarrollo.

El artículo parte de la constatación de la quasi-ausencia de un objeto "diferencia de los sexos" en los debates de la tradición filosófica occidental y se propone como tarea partir de su presencia misma de la cuestión de los sexos en el texto filosófico, de sus modos de aparición; como si se tratase de un fenómeno, sometido a condiciones lógicas de emergencia y desaparición. Trabajar sobre estos modos de aparición permitirá diseñar un campo de reflexión más amplio, quizá, de lo que se imagina. ; The paper starts from the fact of the quasi-absence of an object, "difference of sexes", in the discussions of occidental philosophical tradition. And suggests to work on the ways of apparition of the sexual question in the philosophical text, as it were a phenomenon subjected to logical conditions of emergence and disappearing. To pay attention to these apparition modes will allow us to design a reflection field wider than what is usually imagined.

This text takes social-psychological perspective to examine Butler's theory on the performativity of gender. In contemporary feminist thinking 'sex' is usually associated with 'nature,' & 'gender' with 'culture' & social dimensions o sex categories; so sex & gender are presented like opposite concepts. Judith Butler proposes in her writings a deconstruction of this dichotomy: she explains that sex is also a social construction &, in consequence, sex would have been gender all the time. This text also studies possible contributions from the theory on performativity to a theory on the subjectivity in Social Psychology; in this sense it's fundamental her defense of the 'paradoxical' possibility of social transformation starting from the social categories that constitute us &, at the same time, subordinate us too.

The paper describes Aragon as being representative of those regional territories that enjoy a water surplus.The options born of this as highlighted in the working document for the National Hydrological Plan are said to have given rise to heated argument as to its use that have found their ultimate expression in a resolution taken by the Regional Parliament. The paper sets out the major aspects of the Aragon Water Pact, a document that gives shape to the region's thinking and intentions as to its development strategy and hydraulic infrastructure needs. A detailed description is likewise given in the channelling works considered in the Pact and the final destination of the water in this way assured is clearly indicated. The present state of the works mentioned in the Pact's various projects and the progress in the same that this represents are also gone into. The paper is rounded of by a series of considerations as to the Pact in itself and hydrological planning in general. ; Aragón es un significativo representante entre los territorios que registran excedentes hídricos. Las expectativas generadas en este territorio a raiz de las alternativas contenidas en el borrador del Plan Hidrológico Nacional han dado lugar a acalorados debates en torno al agua, cristalizando finalmente en una resolución del Parlamento Autonómico. El artículo pretende describir los principales aspectos del Pacto del Agua en Aragón, documento que recoge la visión y aspiraciones de dicha Comunidad Autónoma en lo que se refiere a sus estrategias de desarrollo y necesidades de infraestructuras hidráulicas. Se describe con detalle las obras de regulación contenidas en el pacto, concretando el destino de las aguas que quedaran garantizadas por las mismas. Se señala. asimismo, la situación y los avances producidos en los distintos proyectos contenidos en el Pacto. Finalmente se exponen diversas consideraciones relativas al Pacto del Agua y la planificación hidrológica.

Canada, a "rich & weak" country, is extremely dependent on its relation with the US both for its defense & for its economic well-being. When circumstances strike the very heart of the US national interest, like the events of September 11, 2001, the possibilities for an autonomous Canadian foreign policy are very limited: saying "No" simply is not an option. The author analyzes five areas where tensions & shifts in the Canada-US security relation arose after the terrorist attacks. When bilateral issues pose a challenge for Canada's sense of policy autonomy & self-identity (ie, its commitment to multilateralism), they provide ample opportunities for Canada to assert its autonomy as happened with US preemptive intervention in Iraq.
