- The Hemingway Narrative in the Spanish Civil War and Its Historical and Political Implications from Edward Said’s Theorypor Rodrigo Octavio Tirado de Salazar el febrero 19, 2024 a las 6:00 am
This article consists in an historical analysis of three works by Ernest Hemingway that are set in the Spanish Civil War. The analysis is complemented by Edward Said’s theory called Orientalism to extract the narrative that the author proposes to be contrasted with the historical events to see how it is that the narrative that sought to unite the United States with the USSR to go together against fascism contributed to the illusion in which republican and democratic Spain of has being seen as a satellite state of the Soviet Union and, therefore, an enemy of the United States in the framework of the recently begun Cold War.
- Evolution of Coffee Policies in Mexico. XIX-XXI Centuriespor Claudia Oviedo-Rodríguez el enero 1, 2024 a las 6:00 am
This paper characterizes the evolution of Mexican coffee policies, addressing how the state’s interest and its mechanisms for supporting coffee production have changed significantly over time. Three major phases of coffee policies were identified. First, during the late XIX and early XX centuries, the state was focused on expanding the number of hectares for coffee and facilitating land acquisition by large-scale farmers. Second, from 1958 to 1989, the state was interested in expanding coffee plantations and increasing productivity with higher-yield varieties and fertilizer. The state played a strong regulatory role in overseeing coffee prices and collecting farmers’ harvests; during this phase, small-scale farmers were the main target of support. Third, from 1989 to 2018, the state continued to promote increased productivity, but it also began to focus on improving quality. While small-scale farmers continued to be the principal target of support, the state significantly reduced its intervention in the coffee sector and primarily aided small-scale farmers through programs supplying plants and fertilizer.
- The Campeche Race (1717-1818): Mobile Demographics, Vernacular Devotions and Provincial Roadspor Francisco Rodolfo González Galeotti el enero 1, 2024 a las 6:00 am
This article studies how the Carrera de Campeche, a series of fluvial and land traffic and mobility routes, connected the city port of Campeche and the gulf of Mexico with the Carrera de Guatemala, the commercial circuit that linked the audiencias/kingdoms of New Spain and Guatemala. For this, a review of the regional, economic historiography and anthropological studies was made; also archival documents and cartography collected in Mexico, Guatemala, the United States and Spain to support the hypothesis of the existence of the routes. As a result, it was possible to corroborate the existence of a dynamic demography and in continuous movement, fortified by regional devotions that strengthened the religious-cultural integration and that allowed to sustain the road projects of magistrates and elites in the Carrera de Campeche, at the end of the Spanish colonial period.
- Approach to Associationism in Sinaloa, México: 1875 a 1929por Gilberto López Alfaro el enero 1, 2024 a las 6:00 am
This work aims to demonstrate the existence of groups that gave way to the formation of civil society in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. Through the critical-analytical method with a qualitative approach, we proceeded to review the bibliography, journalistic sources, and archives; with which it was possible to obtain the classification, division and segmentation in the fields: social, political and labor of these groups between the years of 1875 to 1939. These organizations were evidence of the transition from pre-modern society to a liberal, modern and revolutionary post in Sinaloa. The listed societies give us reference of the presence and the beginning of the political, charitable and social participation of women, as well as the creation of organizations in favor of the defense of labor rights. They also indicate the formalization of the political clubs that became the antecedents of the political parties.
- Between Recogimientos, Vaccinations and Printing Presses: The Government of Toribio Montes and the Ways of Exercising Power in a Post-Revolutionary Context (Quito, 1812-1817)por Heidi Yazmín Naranjo Robles el enero 1, 2024 a las 6:00 am
This article constitutes an initial approach to the government of Torivio Montes as president of the Audiencia of Quito. What is considered here are certain ways in which Montes exercised power in the aftermath of an insurgent process (the Quito Revolution from 1809 to 1812). Like other royal officials, Montes participated in a certain ideal which had developed in the Spanish Monarchy during the 18th century: that governing meant above all guaranteeing order (the proper arrangement of things) in the kingdom. To examine the ways in which Montes tried to put that ideal into practice, two things are carried out: on the one hand, a rereading of research on this royal official and the independence process of Quito; on the other hand, a review of documentation produced by him and certain collaborators of his.
