- 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.
- 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.
- Press and Police. The Montevideo Headquarters in the pages of La Tribuna Popular (1911-1923)por Daniel Fessler el julio 1, 2023 a las 6:00 am
In this article I intend to study the relationship between a sector of the Montevideo Press and the Capital’s Police Headquarters during the 1910s and the early 1920s of the twentieth century, from a quantitative approach, through the analysis of news related to the crime. A moment that stood out because of the tension between newspapers and authorities of the time. For this, I focused on La Tribuna Popular, an organ that closely followed the police chronicles and reports , supporting the idea of the growth in the crime rate in the city. Traditionally , its argument was based on questioning criminal law, the administration of justice and especially the functioning of the Montevideo Police force itself. My proposal aims to analyze the relationship of the evening newspaper with two of the most censored chiefs of the period (Juan Antonio Pintos and Virgilio Sampognaro) until the change of course which was produced by the assumption of Gómez Folle in the year 1923. The present work confirms the impact that the permanent preaching through editorials and articles dedicated to tracking and monitoring criminal information had. That impact eroded the prestige of an institution systematically presented under the qualifier label of madness or insanity.
- Some Reflections on the Identification of the Concept of Childhood among the Ancient Nahuas based on Colonial Documentspor Alejandro Díaz Barriga Cuevas el julio 1, 2023 a las 6:00 am
This paper focuses on the main aspects to consider in the historical research on pre-Hispanic Childhood based on colonial documents. I analyze the mentality of the chroniclers, the different ideologies they had, the life cycles, and the models they followed to write their works, in which they described the Indigenous childhood using their own parameters. Also, I include some examples that show how Indigenous people incorporated Western models in the descriptions of their own past. Finally, I analyze the words that the Europeans used to define children, some of which have different meanings nowadays.
