This paper reflects on the precautions to be taken into account when addressing the study, from the point of view of the social sciences, of cultures and communities. This is done through ethnographic research in a neighbourhood (barrio) of migrants from an indigenous community in the province of Chaco, in northern Argentina, who have migrated to the city of La Plata (in Buenos Aires province) and have settled on its periphery. The article starts from the idea that ethnicity comes into play, situationally, as a resource rather than as a distinct and immutable feature. Even when it is necessary to describe how notions like culture and ethnicity act in practice and what meaning they have for the actors, social researchers should not  historicize them in the specific contexts in which they are brought into play.Keywords: culture, ethnicity, indigenous community, ethnography, ArgentinaRésumé: Cet article met en évidence les précautions et les enjeux à prendre en considération en sciences sociales lorsque l’on aborde les questions culturelles dans les communautés. Cet article met en évidence un travail de terrain de type ethnographique dans un quartier (barrio) de La Plata (province de Buenor Aires) où se trouve une forte concentration de population migrante d’autochtones en provenance de la province de Chaco, dans le nord de l’Argentine. Plutôt que d’approcher l’ethnicité dans une perspective essentialiste et d’en faire une caractéristique immuable de l’identité, cet article s’inspire d’une approche relationnelle. Plutôt que de tenter de figer le sens de notions telles « ethnicité » ou «culture », cet article met en evidence l’importance de reconstruire le sens de ces notions à partir des données contextuelles et du sens qu’elles revêtent pour les acteurs.Mots clé: culture, ethnicité, communauté indigene, ethnographie, Argentine

Argentine History

William A. Harris ably served the United States as chargé d'affaires at Buenos Aires from June, 1846, until October, 1851, during one of the most critical periods in Argentine history. When he went to his post of duty, Argentina was suffering both from external and internal strife. France and England had intervened in affairs in the Río de la Plata, and had blockaded the coast. Relations between Argentina and two of her neighbors, Paraguay and Brazil, were strained. The government of Buenos Aires was fomenting civil war in Uruguay. There was mounting tension between Buenos Aires and the back country provinces. Public discontent prevailed within Buenos Aires Province. Foreign nationals residing there became increasingly apprehensive about the future of their business enterprises. The heavy hand of the violent caudillo, Juan Manuel de Rosas, Governor of Buenos Aires Province, was felt throughout the entire area of the Río de la Plata. His position was so strong that in most respects he controlled affairs of the whole Argentine Confederation, comprising fourteen provinces.

ABSTRACTThe research describes the advance of two research projects: PIP 2013-2015 “Innovation and cities in Information Society: processes, stakeholders and outcomes in three cities of Buenos Aires Province” and the PICT 2015-2018 “Local Development and Productive Innovation in Information Society”, both coordinated by Dr. Finquelievich. Their main objective is to analyse the relationship between cities and ICT-based socio-technical innovation processes. Medium-sized cities have become important agents in national innovation systems due to their potential to generate knowledge networks among key players. We have chosen three cities in Buenos  Aires Province: Bahía Blanca, Tandil and     La Plata. A qualitative methodology has been used, utilizing in-depth interviews to key  informants.RESUMENEl trabajo describe los avances de los proyectos PIP 2013-2015 “Innovación y ciudades en la Sociedad de la Información: procesos, actores y resultados en tres ciudades de la provincia de Buenos Aires” y el PICT 2015-2018 “Desarrollo local e innovación productiva en la Sociedad de la información”, dirigidos por la Dra. Finquelievich, en los que se analizan las relaciones entre las ciudades y los procesos de innovación socio-tecnológica centrados en las TIC.Las ciudades intermedias están cobrando importancia en los sistemas nacionales de innovación por sus potencialidades para generar redes de conocimiento entre los actores clave. Se seleccionaron los casos de Bahía Blanca, La Plata y Tandil, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina.Se empleó una metodología cualitativa, mediante el uso de entrevistas en profundidad a informantes clave que permitieron caracterizar la estructura de redes de innovación multiactorales en las ciudades estudiadas y su relación con los procesos de innovación socio-tecnológica.

Independence Era

Though Argentina has long been synonymous with trackless pampas and teeming livestock herds, this common image requires some qualification. Before the late nineteenth century, when refrigerated transport made possible a large international market for Argentine beef, cattle played a less important role in the economy of the Río de la Plata than is usually assumed. Except for Buenos Aires province, where stockraising was predominant even in the colonial period, ranchers often had to struggle hard and insistently to find their niche in the overall commerce of the region. Grazing conditions were excellent in many areas of the Río de la Plata, but because the port of Buenos Aires always enjoyed a near-exclusive control over external trade, theporteñoseffectively blunted the development of any stockraising that threatened to compete with their own exports. In the northeastern provinces, this resulted in a cattle industry marked by technological backwardness and erratic growth. The chaotic politics of the post-independence era reinforced these conditions, though reform-minded ranchers and government officials consistently tried to improve provincial standards of stockraising.

Este artículo tiene por objeto reflexionar acerca de las lecturas que juristas argentinos realizaron sobre la emergencia de instituciones políticas en algunos europeos en el contexto de entreguerras. El cuerpo de profesores y académicos aquí trabajados alternaron sus clases en la universidad con intervenciones intelectuales más amplias, mediante artículos y libros académicos de circulación especializada.Mediante un corpus de fuentes poco exploradas, como las revistas de la Facultad de Derecho y Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires y de la Universidad de La Plata, y del Boletín de la Biblioteca del Congreso, el artículo pretende primero demarcar cierta agenda de producción académica que estos juristas desarrollaron en el período 1920-1940, y luego, dilucidar cómo estas intervenciones sobre el contexto europeo fueron clave para desarrollar nuevos vocabularios y modelar conceptos nuevos. En la ponderación de un enfoque jurídico-científico, estos profesores y juristas complejizaron los lenguajes jurídico-políticos sobre los fenómenos que estaban percibiendo.AbstractThis article aims to reflect on readings that Argentine lawyers made about the emergence of political institutions in some Interwar Europeans countries. The body of professors and scholars analyzed in this article delivered classes in the Law School of the University of Buenos Aires, in the National University of La Plata and in the National University of Córdoba. Through an unexplored corpus of sources, such as the Journal of the University of Buenos Aires’ School of Law, the Annals of the University of La Plata’ School of Legal and Social Sciences and the Bulletin of the Library of Congress, the article intends to describe the existence of an academic agenda that these scholars developed during 1920 and 1940, and then, to elucidate how these intellectual interventions on the European context sought to be read with a local perspective. In the formation and translation of a scientific and legal approach, these professors assessed the necessity to adapt these new European mechanisms to the local reality and to form more complex vocabularies and concepts about the phenomena they were perceiving.

The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is distributed among most oceans and seas of the globe (except Mediterranean Sea). These whales migrate from feeding regions in the Antarctic waters to breeding areas in tropical and subtropical seas. Here we report the stranding of a female young humpback whale, which was founded dead in the vicinity of the Talavera Island, in the Paraná River Delta, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. From the analysis of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene sequences, two novel haplotypes were found, totalizing four haplotypes described for the species. In the La Plata River Basin this species was found only twice at the end of the XIX century. Thus, the new finding constitutes an important addition to the list of cetaceans that occurs in Uruguay, Paraná and La Plata Rivers.
