ResumoCom base na refuncionalização territorial de Goiás, este artigo busca analisar a inserção desse estado na lógica da expansão capitalista na América Latina e no Brasil, enfatizando como a vida sertaneja local é transformada pela ação do capital, responsável pela passagem de Goiás do sertão para Goiás do cerrado. É nessa perspectiva que está pautado este estudo, ou seja, no entendimento da interação dos elementos políticos, econômicos e culturais que se processam na inserção de Goiás na lógica da expansão capitalista e como essa situação ressoa na vida do sertanejo goiano. Para isso, realizou-se uma análise bibliográfica sobre a leitura geográfica do cerrado, acompanhada de entrevistas com pesquisadores do assunto. Tais ferramentas nos possibilitaram entender a incorporação do cerrado na dinâmica do capitalismo mundial e sua reverberação na (re)existência do sertanejo goiano.Palavras-chave: Expansão Capitalista; Cerrado Brasileiro; Território Goiano; (Re)Existência Sertaneja. AbstractBy introducing a debate grounded on the territorial refunctionalization of Goiás state, this article addresses the inclusion of Goiás within the logic of capitalist expansion in Brazil and in Latin America. Moreover, it stresses the way the sertanejo way of life is transformed by the role of capital, which is responsible for the transition from hinterland to savannah in Goiás. The present research stems from understanding the interaction between political, economic, and cultural elements processed in the inclusion of Goiás within the logic of capitalist expansion in Brazil, as well as the way this scenario resonates in the life of the state’s hinterland. To achieve that, this paper brings forth a bibliographical survey of geographical research on the state’s savannah, as well as interviews with researchers. These tools made it possible to understand the savannah’s incorporation into the dynamics of global capitalism and its reverberation in Goiás’ hinterland (re)existence.Keywords: Capitalist Expansion; Brazilian Savannah; Goiás’ Territory; Hinterland (Re)Existence. ResumenCon base en la refuncionalización territorial de Goiás, este artículo analiza la inserción de este estado em la lógica de la expansión del capitalismo en América Latina y en Brasil, enfatizando como la vida sertaneja local es transformada por la acción del capital, responsable po el paso de Goiás del sertão a Goiás del Cerrado.

Theorists of neoliberalism have placed dispossession and displacement at the centre of their analyses of the workings of contemporary global capitalism. Disability, however, has not figured centrally into these analyses. This essay attends to what might be comprehended as the crip echoes generated by dispossession, displacement, and a global austerity politics. Centring on British-Mexican relations during a moment of austerity in the UK and gentrification in Mexico City, the essay identifies both the voices of disability that are recognized by and made useful for neoliberalism as well as those shut down or displaced by this dominant economic and cultural system. The spatial politics of austerity in the UK have generated a range of punishing, anti-disabled policies such as the so-called ‘Bedroom Tax.’ The essay critiques such policies (and spatial politics) by particularly focusing on two events from 2013: a British embassy good will event exporting British access to Mexico City and an installation of photographs by Livia Radwanski. Radwanski's photos of the redevelopment of a Mexico City neighbourhood (and the displacement of poor people living in the neighbourhood) are examined in order to attend to the ways in which disability might productively haunt an age of austerity, dispossession, and displacement.

Una start-up es definida como una empresa destinada solucionar problemas de maneras no obvias, donde el éxito no está garantizado de antemano y, solo en los casos de éxito efectivo, se adquiere un crecimiento rápido y significativo (Robehmed, 2013). Ejemplos clásicos de start-ups serían Facebook, Uber o AirBnB que, con comienzos modestos, pero con ideas innovadoras, se convirtieron con el paso del tiempo en empresas de ingresos millonarios. Una de las tantas preguntas al respecto sería la siguiente: ¿cómo lograr una start-up de éxito a sabiendas que el éxito no está garantizado a priori y, aún más, que la gran mayoría de estas fracasan?

Subject. The article discusses financial and economic momenta. Objectives. I determine financial and economic momenta as the interest rate changes in Russia. Methods. The study is based on a systems approach and the method of statistical analysis. Results. The Russian economy was found to strongly depend on prices for crude oil and natural gas, thus throwing Russia to the outskirts of the global capitalism, though keeping the status of an energy superpower, which ensures a sustainable growth in the global economy by increasing the external consumption and decreasing the domestic one. The devaluation of the national currency, a drop in tax revenue, etc. result from the decreased interest rate. They all require to increase M2 and the devalued retail loan in RUB, thus rising the GDP deflator. As for positive effects, the Central Bank operates sustainably, replenishes gold reserves and keeps the trade balance (positive balance), thus strengthening its resilience during a global drop in crude oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic. The positive effects were discovered to result from a decreased in the interest rate, rather than keeping it low all the time. Conclusions and Relevance. As the interest rate may be, the financial and economic momentum in Russia depends on the volatility of the price for crude oil and natural gas. Lowering the interest rate and devaluing the national currency, the Central Bank preserves the resource structure of the Russian economy, strengthens its positions within the global capitalism and keeps its status of an energy superpower, thus reinforcing its resilience against a global drop in oil prices.

Los libros son objetos preciados que, desde su aparición, se han atesorado y cuidado de las inclemencias del tiempo, de los daños de roedores e insectos, pero sobre todo de la rapiña. En Nueva España las obras acompañaban las labores doctrinales, intelectuales, sociales y jurídicas de sus habitantes, y pronto, existieron bibliotecas que, con el paso del tiempo, incrementaron sus acervos y su consulta. Esto obligó emplear exlibris y sellos que, de forma inmediata, identificaban al poseedor o dueño del libro; sin embargo, dichos recursos no detuvieron la pérdida de los volúmenes. Fue así que en México se crearon las marcas de fuego, distintivo que frenó el constante extravío de las obras. El presente artículo da una visión sobre los diversos métodos de marcas de propiedad que se usaron en Nueva España, en especial aquellos que se distinguen por sus tintes de originalidad, como son los exlibris numéricos y las marcas de fuego.
