This article analyses public policy programs for dropout prevention in the vocational upper secondary school in Argentina between 2003 and 2015. The study grounds on documents (reports, laws, and regulations) as well as interviews with officials of the Institute of Technological Education of the Ministry of Education from Argentina and in three technical schools maintained by the State in the City of Buenos Aires. Through a qualitative approach, the documents and the participants' discourse and narratives were analyzed under the categories: understanding the diagnosis of school dropout; thinking the solutions for school retention; defining the public educational policies. The research results show that the public policies were successful in democratizing access to the vocational secondary education, although presenting structural limits for carrying on effective dropout prevention in Argentina.

Traditional ideas about citizenship in their liberal conception emphasize the role played by the individual as the holder of rights and duties. These ideas have been strongly questioned by various currents of thought and from some fields of studies, such as urban studies. In this paper we seek to contribute to these debates by analyzing the urban practices of a popular assembly in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA-Argentina). These practices are enmeshed in disputes between the old and the new, the public and the private, and the visible and invisible, configuring citizenships that promote ways of understanding and building more participatory and democratic cities. We analyze the activities of “making visible” and activism in relation to the homelessness problem as well as the Assembly’s intention of building an urban habitat anchored in the decommodification of the city and in collective projects. We conclude that this case testifies to the construction of citizen experiences that have great potential to displace the individualistic corset with which citizens’ rights are usually defined and defended.

Deep Crisis

This chapter explores the public opinion strategies adopted by Buenos Aires police in the context of a deep crisis of consensus in the 1920s and 1930s regarding their right to use force. In so doing, it tackles a question transcending this case: how can police forces act as the guardians of a social order they themselves might perceive as unjust, and still earn the respect of those who suffer from its injustice? The answer lies within the process of the symbolic construction of an idealized police officer, one able to remain connected with those he claims to protect. In this case, the connection between the police and the people was woven using fiction, mass media, and other key elements of popular culture.

Desde la perspectiva de la Antropología Social y con base en un trabajo etnográfico desarrollado en la ciudad de Tandil (provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina) en el que se abordó el conflicto socioambiental existente en torno al uso, gestión y ocupación del sistema serrano de Tandilia, el presente artículo busca reflejar las dificultades que se presentaron en el trabajo de campo respecto a la toma de fotografías durante la intensificación del conflicto socioambiental en Septiembre de 2011. En el marco del conflicto local, la fotografía se visualizó como una técnica complementaria de investigación, colaborando en la comprensión de las prácticas y discursos de los actores sociales. Empero, el uso de la dimensión visual en el trabajo etnográfico fue debatido por los protagonistas de la protesta, posibilitando reflexionar respecto a la demarcación entre lo público y lo privado en los contextos de registro, y poner en cuestión hasta donde vale el "consentimiento informado" cuando la investigación se realiza en espacios públicos. Palabras claves: Conflicto socioambiental. Minería. Espacio Público. Fotografía.   "For a place in the city". The use of images in a socio-environmental conflict   Abstract   From a socio-anthropological perspective, and based in an ethnographic research in the city of Tandil (Buenos Aires, Argentina), in which the socio-environmental conflict related to the use, management and occupation of the mountain system of Tandilia was investigated, this article shows the difficulties that emerged in the process of taking photographs during the climax of the conflict, on September 2011. In this context, the photography was understood as a complementary technique of research, helping in the comprehension of the actors' practices and speeches. Nevertheless, the visual dimension was discussed by the protagonists of the protest, making possible the reflection about the distinction between the public and the private in the registration context, and the debate liked to the "informed consent" when the investigation is done in public spaces. Keyswords: Socio-environmental conflict. Mining. Public space. Photography.

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.
