El sitio arqueológico Monte Hermoso 1 (Buenos Aires, Argentina) presenta un registro abundante de pisadas humanas, datadas ~7000 AP, que fueron impresas en el sedimento de una marisma mixohalina. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar estimaciones de edad y velocidad de locomoción correspondientes a 15 rastros de individuos, en base a datos originales de Bayón y Politis (1996). Las estimaciones de edad se realizaron en función de curvas de crecimiento. Las edades estimadas, correspondientes a niños y adolescentes entre 2,5 y 14,5 años, y posiblemente a un individuo juvenil-adulto joven, concuerdan con interpretaciones previas. La velocidad de locomoción fue estimada a partir de la relación empírica entre la velocidad adimensional (número de Froude) y la longitud del paso adimensional. Las velocidades obtenidas son heterogéneas, en el rango entre 3-12 km/h, y se clasifican en: 1) velocidades compatibles con la de caza recolección en niños de edad similar (≤ 3 km/h), 2) velocidades compatibles con la caminata de confort, en el rango entre 3,8 y 4,6 km/h, asociadas a un menor costo energético, quizás de exploración, por parte de niños y adolescentes, del territorio circundante, y 3) velocidades > 5 km/h compatibles con juego, persecución de una pequeña presa o huida. La metodología utilizada en este estudio para la estimación de la velocidad puso en evidencia una diversidad de patrones locomotores en los individuos que dejaron sus rastros en el sitio Monte Hermoso 1, lo cual podría mejorar las inferencias sobre los comportamientos asociados.

Conti: One of the main conclusions of the Wolf-Rayet symposium in Buenos Aires was that Wolf-Rayet stars are evolutionary products of massive objects. Some questions:–Do hot helium-rich stars, that are not Wolf-Rayet stars, exist?–What about the stability of helium rich stars of large mass? We know a helium rich star of ∼40 MO. Has the stability something to do with the wind?–Ring nebulae and bubbles : this seems to be a much more common phenomenon than we thought of some years age.–What is the origin of the subtypes? This is important to find a possible matching of scenarios to subtypes.

History Of

This paper interrogates the history of same-sex dancing among women in Buenos Aires' tango scene, focusing on its increasing visibility since 2005. Two overlapping communities of women are invoked. Queer tangueras are queer-identified female tango dancers and their allies who dance tango in a way that attempts to de-link tango's two roles from gender. Rebellious wallflowers are women who practice, teach, perform, and dance with other women in predominantly straight environments. It is argued that the growing acceptance of same-sex dancing in Argentina is due to the confluence of four developments: 1) the rise of tango commerce, 2) innovations of tango nuevo, 3) changing laws and social norms around lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights, and 4) synergy between queer tango dancers and heterosexual women who are frustrated by the limits of tango's gender matrix. The author advocates for increased alliances between rebellious wallflowers and queer tangueras, who are often segregated from each other in Buenos Aires' commercial tango industry.

Pablo Neruda's Transnational Modernist Networks: Colombo-Madrid-London-Buenos Aires (1927–1933)

Standing Question

This article positions Pablo Neruda's poetry collection Residence on Earth I (written between 1925–1931 and published in 1933) as a ‘text in transit’ that allows us to trace the development of transnational modernist networks through the text's protracted physical journey from British colonial Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to Madrid, and from José Ortega y Gasset's Revista de Occidente (The Western Review) to T. S. Eliot's The Criterion. By mapping the text's diasporic movement, I seek to reinterpret its complex composition process as part of an anti-imperialist commitment that proposes a form of aesthetic solidarity with artistic modernism in Ceylon, on the one hand, and as a vehicle through which to interrogate the reception and categorisation of Latin American writers and their cultural institutions in a British periodical such as The Criterion, on the other. I conclude with an examination of Neruda's idiosyncratic Spanish translation of Joyce's Chamber Music, which was published in the Buenos Aires little magazine Poesía in 1933, positing that this translation exercise takes to further lengths his decolonising views by giving new momentum to the long-standing question of Hiberno-Latin American relations.

From the Tower of London to the Thomas More Society of Buenos Aires: “Give me thy grace, good Lord, to set the world at nought”

Almost All

The Thomas More Society of Buenos Aires begins or ends almost all its events by reciting in both English and Spanish a prayer written by More in the margins of his Book of Hours probably while he was a prisoner in the Tower of London. After a short history of what is called Thomas More’s Prayer Book, the author studies the prayer as a poem written in the form of a psalm according to the structure of Hebrew poetry, and looks at the poem’s content as a psalm of lament.
