Espejos y espectrógrafos entre Chile y California. Reflejos de la circulación astronómica a comienzos del siglo XX

En 1903, despues de un largo viaje por el Oceano Pacifico, una expedicion del Observatorio Lick se instalo en Santiago de Chile, y construyo un observatorio gemelo al que tenian en California. A traves de la moderna tecnica de la espectrografia, el objetivo era medir las velocidades radiales de las estrellas australes y asi intentar comprender la estructura del universo. Uno de los objetos mas preciados de la expedicion era el conjunto de espejos del equipo astronomico, que se situan como instrumentos cientificos pero tambien como metaforas que orientan el analisis de la produccion de conocimiento, del rol de las identidades colectivas y de las similitudes geograficas. En este articulo se busca reconstruir parte de la historia de esta expedicion a partir de sus espejos, y asi comprender como se generaba parte de la circulacion cientifica a comienzos del siglo XX, a traves de los reflejos entre dos lugares espacial y culturalmente distantes.

Procesos de aculturación, identidad étnica y menores migrantes

Resumen Este artículo interroga la compleja interacción del proceso de aculturación y la construcción de la identidad étnica en menores con antecedentes migratorios. Después de describir la centralidad del concepto de "etnicidad", se presenta una tipología de cuatro identidades "posibles", a partir del modelo cuádruple de estrategias de aculturación de John Berry. Características, tendencias y riesgos se describen para la posible identidad identificada.

Currículo, género y sexualidad. Lo “normal”, lo “diferente” y lo “excéntrico”

En la contemporaneidad, "nuevas" identidades culturales obligan a reconocer que la cultura, lejos de ser homogénea y monolítica, es compleja, múltiple, inarmónica, discontinua. Un nuevo movimiento político y teórico se puso en acción en las últimas décadas, y en él, las nociones de centro, margen y frontera pasaron a ser cuestionadas. El presente artículo asume esta perspectiva para analizar la constitución de diferencias e identidades de género y sexuales y, más específicamente, las formas en las queese proceso viene expresándose en el campo del currículo. El artículo destaca las estrategias públicas y privadas que se ponen en acción, cotidianamente, para garantizar la estabilidad de la identidad "normal" y de todas las formas culturales a ella asociadas; así como las estrategias que son desplegadaspara marcar las identidades "diferentes" y, aún, aquellas que buscan superar el miedo y la atracción provocados por las identidades "excéntricas".

Fostering Ethical Professional Identity in Tax: Using the Traditional Tax Classroom

Will a tax lawyer in private practice help taxpayers comply or help taxpayers cheat? Will a government tax lawyer respect or abuse taxpayer rights? Answers to these questions turn, at least in large part, on the lawyer’s ethical professional identity — the lawyer’s philosophy of lawyering, which reflects her values, her sense of responsibility to others, and her self-concept of who she is (and wants to be) as a member of the legal profession. According to recent reports on legal education reform, commentators, and the ABA, law schools must do more to help students develop their ethical professional identities. This is particularly important in tax law, where lawyers’ ethical professional identities can affect compliance and revenue collection, tax morale and taxpayer rights, and the reputation of the tax profession. However, there is a dearth of resources for faculty members who want to leverage their traditional tax classrooms to help future tax lawyers develop their professional identities and learn to exercise professional judgment within the boundaries of the applicable ethical rules. So how can doctrinal faculty members help aspiring tax lawyers develop and implement their professional identities? This article describes exercises for the traditional tax classroom that are intended to (a) enable each student to identify and justify her developing lawyering philosophy, and (b) empower each student to implement her lawyering philosophy in her career. By empowering professors to help their students become more thoughtful, principled tax advisers, this article advances the goal of building a community of ethical tax professionals, both taxpayer-side and government-side, that serves taxpayers well.

FÚTBOL, PRENSA E IDENTIDADES NACIONALES EN ESPAÑA, 1975-2017

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar o papel desempenhado pelo futebol como meio para a construção, configuração e fortalecimento das identidades nacionais na Espanha entre 1975 e 2017. No âmbito metodológico, revisaram-se a bibliografia e as principais revistas e jornais espanhóis, tanto de esportes quanto de informação geral desse período. Os principais resultados obtidos nos mostram como a imprensa reescreveu as várias narrativas sobre a identidade nacional espanhola desde os últimos anos, tornando-se a ferramenta ideal para associar certos estereótipos e mitos à seleção espanhola e aos principais clubes de futebol. Do mesmo modo, a relação entre o futebol e a imprensa também desempenhou um papel fundamental na criação e transformação dos discursos identitários na Catalunha e no País Basco durante as últimas décadas.

El videoensayo como recurso pedagógico en la búsqueda y construcción de identidades en enseñanza secundaria desde la educación artística.

INTRODUCCIO: Aquesta recerca preten demostrar el valor i la capacitat pedagogica d’actituds artistiques audiovisuals contemporanies dins del paradigma de l’educacio artistica. Dins del nostre estudi, utilitzem el videoassaig com a vehicle per a la construccio i cerca d’identitats en el periode de l’ensenyament secundari. METODE: En aquesta indagacio s’utilitza una combinacio de la metodologia qualitativa i la metodologia artistica basada en l’observacio i la interpretacio de les experiencies artistiques acompanyades per les narratives desenvolupades per l’alumnat implicat. Encara que s’han seleccionat tres experiencies, la participacio ha estat de vint-i-dos estudiants. RESULTATS: Les experiencies artistiques generades a partir del videoassaig ens permeten noves produccions audiovisuals on l’alumnat indaga sobre la seva identitat personal de la mateixa manera que vincula art contemporani i mitja audiovisual. L’alumnat aconsegueix realitzar discursos audiovisuals a traves del video i la seva propia reflexio personal. DISCUSSIO: El videoassaig es confirma com a recurs pedagogic amb gran capacitat expressiva i reflexiva en la cerca i construccio d’identitats en l’etapa adolescent.

New World geometrid moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae): Molecular phylogeny, biogeography, taxonomic updates and description of 11 new tribes

We analysed a molecular dataset of 1206 Geometroidea terminal taxa. In this paper we focus on New World taxa, with 102 Nearctic terminal taxa (97 of which have not previously been subject to molecular phylogenetic analysis) and 398 Neotropical terminal taxa (375 not previously analysed). Up to eleven molecular markers per specimen were included: one mitochondrial (COI) and ten proteincoding nuclear gene regions (Wingless, ArgK, MDH, RpS5, GAPDH, IDH, Ca-ATPase, Nex9, EF-1alpha, CAD). The data were analysed using maximum likelihood approach as implemented in IQ-TREE and RAxML. Photographs of almost all voucher specimens are provided together with relevant type material in illustrated electronic catalogues in order to make identities and taxonomic changes transparent. Our analysis concentrates on the level of tribes and genera, many of which are shown to be para-or polyphyletic. In an effort towards a natural system of monophyletic taxa, we propose taxonomic changes: We establish 11 new tribe names (Larentiinae, authors Brehm, Murillo-Ramos & Ounap): Brabirodini new tribe, Chrismopterygini new tribe, Psaliodini new tribe, Pterocyphini new tribe, Rhinurini new tribe, Ennadini new tribe, Cophocerotini new tribe, Erebochlorini new tribe; (Ennominae, authors Brehm, Murillo-Ramos & Sihvonen): Euangeronini new tribe, Oenoptilini new tribe, Pyriniini new tribe. We assign 27 genera for the first time to a tribe, propose 29 new tribe assignments and 26 new generic combinations, we synonymize one tribe and seven genera, revive one tribe, and propose to exclude 119 species from non-monophyletic genera (incertae sedis). Our study provides the data and foundation for numerous future taxonomic revisions of New World geometrid moths. We also examine broad-scale biogeographic patterns of New World Geometridae: While Nearctic species are often nested within the predominantly Neotropical clades, the austral South American fauna forms distinct clades, hinting at a long isolation from the remaining New World fauna.

Phinehas' Priestly Zeal and the Violence of Contested Identities

Dal “diritto alla città” al “diritto alla mobilità”. Spunti per una critica socio-spaziale della definizione di “turista”

In this paper, we discuss the “right to mobility”. On one side, we look at the evolution of the debate within the so-called mobility studies, on the other we look at the so-called “right to the city” invoked by Henri Lefebvre (1968). With these references, we propose a critique to the common definition of “tourist” used in statistics. This definition is constructed in opposition to the one of “other travellers”. Our hypothesis is that statistical, normative and fiscal definitions, produce discourses that performatively act on places; in so doing, they contribute in limiting the access to the urban space to migrants, seasonal workers, students and a variety of other mobile identities. We then look at the archetypical city for overtourism: Venice. We juxtapose the construction of “mobility others” in tourism statistics with the so called “landing fee” approved, but not applied yet, by Venice City Council in 2018. Consequently, we show how the debate that has followed the proposal for the fee constitutes an impasse towards a “right to the city” intersecting a “right to mobility”. In the end, we pinpoint for a couple of experiences of inclusive urban hospitality that are inclusive of diverse mobilities despite their difference.
