ResumenEl antropólogo Paul Radin publicó en 1956 el libro Primitive man as philosopher, por la editorial Dover Publication Inc., Nueva York. Para el presente análisis tomaremos la edición de 1968, publicada por la Editorial Universitaria de Buenos Aires-Rivadavia 1571/1/73 Sociedad de Economía Mixta, impresa en Argentina. Paul Radin, después de haber realizado investigaciones decampo, tras largos años de investigación vivencial, sostuvo que el hombre primitivo ya se había comportado como filósofo; apreciación que fue muy elogiada por muchos antropólogos y algunos filósofos y recibida con cierta duda por otros filósofos. Como se anuncia por el título de la presente ponencia, nuestra apreciación discrepa con la del autor, toda vez que la filosofía no es un discurso mítico-religioso. Palabras clave: Filosofía, filosofía indígena, filosofía, primitiva, cosmovisión. AbstractIn 1956, the anthropologist Paul Radin published the book Primitive man as philosopher, by the publishing house Dover Publication Inc., New York. For this analysis, we will take the edition from 1968 published by the University Press of Buenos Aires - Rivadavia 1571/1/73 Mixed Economy Society. Printed in Argentina After having conducted field research and after long years of experiential research, Paul Radin claims that the primitive man had already behaved like a philosopher. This perception was highly praised by many anthropologists and some philosophers,as well as received with some doubt by other philosophers. Being already announced in the title of this paper, our assessment disagrees with the one from the author, since philosophy is not amythical-religious discourse.Keywords: Philosophy, indigenous philosophy, primitive, philosophy, worldview.

Desde la crisis financiera de 1929, las relaciones económicas entre países vivieron un período de acomodación que afianzó y a la vez generó vínculos bilaterales en la oferta y demanda de mercancías. Simultáneamente al estallido de la crisis, un puerto de ultramar de la región central de la provincia de Buenos Aires en Argentina comenzó a operar como exportador de granos. La pregunta que intentamos responder es cómo interactuaron ambos procesos tanto en la región adyacente al puerto (hinterland) como en el alcance mundial que alcanzaron las exportaciones salidas por él (foreland). Nuestro objetivo es medir y evaluar la adaptación de un puerto y su hinterland a este doble contexto de crisis y apertura internacional. Para alcanzarlo hemos confeccionado una base de datos con los registros del tráfico naviero llevado por la policía portuaria local (la Prefectura Nacional Marítima) y la Aduana de Puerto Quequén, a la que hemos cruzado con otras estadísticas oficiales acerca de la producción en el área y el volumen y tipo de exportaciones extraídas por el puerto. Los resultados obtenidos muestran por un lado una correlación positiva entre la apertura portuaria y el volumen de la producción del hinterland y por otro la conformación de un foreland alternativo al previo a la crisis para la economía del país, el cual implicó un mayor acercamiento a los países de la región. Un foreland segmentado al que remitían con casi exclusividad forrajes (avena y cebada) para los puertos ubicados en Europa y trigo para diversos puertos americanos. La crisis, al menos mirada desde Puerto Quequén, fue oportunidad de redefinición de la producción, de experimentación de circuitos económicos, de integración con la región continental y de reducción de parte de la dependencia tradicional de la demanda europea. Palabras clave: historia, puerto, exportaciones agrícolas,  Gran Depresión, Puerto Quequén.Between the Crisis and a New Port: The Agricultural Exports of the Region of Puerto Quequén during the Great Depression (1929-1939)AbstractFrom the financial crisis of 1929, the economic relations between countries lived a period of accommodation that guaranteed and simultaneously it generated bilateral links in the offer and demand of goods. Simultaneously to the start of the crisis, a port of overseas in the central region of the Buenos Aires province in Argentina began to operate as exporter of grains. The question that we try to answer is how both processes interacted in the adjacent region to the port (hinterland) as well as the world scope of the exports (foreland). Our aim is to measure and to evaluate the adjustment of a port and his hinterland to this double context of crisis and international opening. To reach it we have made a database with the records of the shipping traffic taken by the port local police (the National Maritime Prefecture) and the Customs of Port Quequén, to which we have crossed with other official statistics brings over of the production in the area and the volume and type of exports extracted by the port. The obtained results show on the one hand a positive correlation between the port opening and the volume of the production in the hinterland and for other one the conformation of an alternative foreland to the before one the crisis for the economy of the country, which implied a major approximation to the countries of the region. A segmented foreland, from which it was sent almost in exclusivity, forage (oats and barley) for the ports located in Europe and wheat for diverse American ports. The crises −at least looked from Port Quequén- was an opportunity of redefinition of the production, of experimentation of economic circuits, of integration with the continental region and of reduction on behalf of the traditional dependence of the European demand. Keywords: history, port, agricultural exports, Great Depression, Port Quequén.

Pignat, Caroline. Unspeakable. Toronto: Razorbill, 2014. Print. Ellie Ryan is an eighteen-year-old girl who has suffered an insurmountable number of personal tragedies that have taught her the importance of perseverance. After her mother’s death, she finds herself unwanted by her father and is forced to move in with her aunt Geraldine. Due to Ellie’s inability to cope with her circumstances, her aunt sends her aboard the Empress of Ireland where she learns to embrace her new position as a stewardess with the help of her most trusted friend, Meg.On the second crossing of the Empress, Ellie meets Jim, a lonely fire stoker who has experienced his share of grief and tragedy, something Ellie is all too familiar with. After many chance encounters late at night along the ship's rail, she finds Jim writing in a journal. He is a quiet and secretive young man who doesn’t share much of his life, which intrigues and compels her to discover more about him. When the ship docks at Quebec City, they explore the city together, a memorable experience for her. However, tragedy strikes on their next voyage when the ship collides into another ship. Ellie appears to be the one of the few remaining crew members to survive the disaster and has no word of Jim’s whereabouts; it seems unlikely that Jim would have survived the frigid ocean. Wyatt Steele, a journalist with The New York Times, later asks Ellie for her story. She refuses at first, but unwittingly gives into him when he appears one day with Jim’s journal. Wyatt represents the last remaining hope she has to learn more about the man she had fallen in love with and to possibly discover what happened to him. In exchange for her story, he agrees to provide Jim’s journal as payment, one page at a time.               This young adult novel follows Ellie’s journey aboard the Empress of Ireland in 1914 and offers a realistic context for Canada’s worst maritime disaster. It explores themes of depression from the loss of family and friends, survivor’s guilt, and redemption. The story weaves an intricate plot that alternates the timeline before and after the ship’s sinking, in order for the reader to actively live through Ellie’s recollections in the present. Overall, the author intricately writes a romantic story in the backdrop of a historical Canadian event that is well suited to young adult audiences.Recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Janice KungJanice Kung is an Academic Library Intern at the University of Alberta’s John W.

On June 26, 1933, the University of Wisconsin offered Aldo Leopold a position teaching the nation’s first graduate program in game management. The New York Times hailed it as the “one and only ‘wild-game chair.’” This was the chance he’d been waiting for. Despite the small salary, Leopold accepted. Letters of congratulation filled the mailbox at 2222 Van Hise. Among them was one from none other than the preservationist crusader W. T. Hornaday: …My Dear Ally, I salute the University of Wisconsin, for its foresight and enterprise in establishing the first Collegiate Professorship of Game Management created in the United States… . I congratulate the Wisconsin Alumni Foundation on its correct initiative in the choice of the Best Man for the new foundation… . It is all a helpful gesture in the struggle to save American game and sport from finally going over the precipice, A.D. 1940. …Leopold set up shop in “two small, rather dark rooms” in the basement of the university’s Soils Building. As an outsider to the academic establishment, he was expected to be more of a free-floating conservation resource for the state than a departmental teacher. He outlined some of his duties for the Milwaukee Journal: ...To conduct research in the life history of Wisconsin birds and mammals; develop cropping methods suitable for their preservation and increase; train men to devise and apply such methods; impart to other students a general understanding of the wild life conservation problem; assist farmers and other landowners in selecting and applying cropping methods; integrate game with other uses of land; and advise conservation officers on questions of wild life management and policy. …He was charged with giving radio talks and public addresses, overseeing soil erosion and game-cropping projects, and helping plan a university arboretum and wildlife refuge—all before the official teaching would begin. Since conservation was “a way of living on land” for Leopold, he wanted to involve as many people as possible.

This year marks the centennial of Samuel Beckett's birth, and the celebrations around the world have been a wonder to behold. From Buenos Aires to Tokyo, from Rio de Janeiro to Sofia, from South Africa (where Beckett did not permit his plays to be performed until apartheid was ended) to New Zealand, from Florida State University, in Tallahassee, to the University of Reading, from the Barbican Theatre, in London, to the Pompidou Center, in Paris, from Hamburg and Kassel and Zurich to Aix-en-Provence and Lille, from Saint Petersburg to Madrid to Tel Aviv, and of course most notably in Dublin, 2006 has been Beckett's year. Most of the festivals have included not only performances of the plays but also lectures, symposia, readings, art exhibitions, and manuscript displays. Paris Beckett 2006, for example, cosponsored by the French government and New York University's Center for French Civilization and Culture, has featured productions of Beckett's entire dramatic oeuvre, mounted in theaters large and small all over Paris, and lectures by such major figures as the novelist-theorists Philippe Sollers and Hélène Cixous, the playwrights Fernando Arrabal and Israel Horovitz, and the philosopher Alain Badiou. To round things out, in 2007 the Pompidou Center will host a major exhibition of and on Beckett's work.

The title of Benjamin Lloyd's article reflects the apparent dissociation between, on the one hand, a spiritual religion distinguished by its lack of dogmatism and by non-liturgical forms of worship and, on the other, a mode of entertainment long divorced from the ritual religious forms in which it may well have had its roots, yet which continues to depend on preserving authenticity despite the rote of repeated performance. The author suggests that a communal seeking after inward enlightenment occurs no less in the approach of some of the most influential of modern theatre teachers – notably Stanislavsky and Grotowski – than at a meeting of the Society of Friends; and that the nature of Quaker worship may not, after all, be far removed from a striving for theatrical truth. In the series of ‘meetings together’ here described and analyzed, Benjamin Lloyd brought together friends and practitioners to investigate the nature and possible value of the relationship. The author has acted and directed in New York, Edinburgh, and Prague, and taught at Villanova and Princeton Universities. He presently teaches acting at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and his book, The Actor's Way: a Journey of Self-Discovery in Letters, was published by Allworth Press in 2006. He is a member of Haverford Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends.

Cass, Kiera. The One. New York: Harper Teen/Harper Collins Publisher, 2014. Print.Book Three in The Selection seriesThe One is the third instalment of Kiera Cass’ Selection series.  The first book, The Selection, begins with thirty-five girls who are chosen across the country to vie for the prince’s heart to become the next queen of Illéa.  For most girls, this would be a dream come true.  For America Singer, one of the selected, she could not care less.  She does not want to leave her family or her childhood sweetheart behind.  Soon swept into a world so different from her own, she begins to see not everything is perfect at the castle or as simple as it seems.The Elite, book two, picks up right after one of the eliminations and begins with the final six girls (the elite).  There is more turmoil as America battles with her feelings for her childhood sweetheart, Aspen, who is a guard at the palace, and Maxon, the prince, who has more aspects to him than she originally thought.  Tension rises when the rebels attack the castle and the girls are under siege.  While America struggles with her feelings, she decides that she does, in fact, want to be there and will now try for Maxon’s heart, if she still has a chance.The One, book three, begins with the castle under attack.  We have learned secrets about the king at the end of book two and are beginning to understand the rebels’ motives. Competition is also fierce as it is now down to the top four girls and each girl is desperately trying to win Maxon’s heart.  America feels strongly for the prince, but how can she know if she loves him when he still has three other girls that he is dating?  Does he love her or one of the other girls more?  Can she really turn away from Aspen, her first true love? Full of action, suspense and heartache, you will want to know how this book ends. The story is a mix between The Hunger Games, The Bachelor and Cinderella. This series is sure to thrill teenage audiences looking for adventure and romance.Highly Recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewed by: Shawna ManchakowskyShawna Manchakowsky recently completed her MLIS at the University of Alberta.  When she is not working at Rutherford Library as a Public Service Assistant, she can be found with her husband parenting her two young girls; avoiding any kind of cooking; and reading for her two book clubs.
