From the global spread of the infectious disease COVID-19, in Argentina as in other states worldwide, health measures, social emergency, economic and public order measures were taken. One of the main and earliest measures of social order in the face of this disease was the delimitation of a period of population isolation, known as preventive and obligatory social isolation. The compulsory social isolation generated unprecedented growth in the demand for services to the platform economies in Argentina in general and in Buenos Aires in particular, causing the platform delivery activity to be conceived as an essential activity. The purpose of the writing is to explore the configuration of a certain politics of sensibilities that is used as a reproduction transport by digital delivery platforms in the city of Buenos Aires, during the isolation that the COVID-19 pandemic led to. From a process of digital ethnography, the main web pages and applications for smartphones of the firms are registered to problematize the information built from the notions of platform and politics of sensibilities.

This study aims to describe, analyze, and interpret the implementation of local regulation no. 7 of 2017 concerning public order, especially social order by the Tomohon Civil Service Police Unit [1]. The results showed that: a) lack of understanding of the community regarding what are the benefits, goals and objectives of local regulations regarding social order, the community does not know because of the lack of socialization carried out by the implementor, so far the socialization has been carried out only in oral form, b) that the process of taking preventive measures has been carried out in the form of conducting patrols by the Tomohon Civil Service Police Unit with a schedule of 1 x 24 hours for 2 patrol groups and, c) Whereas the enforcement process is based on the element of what mistakes he has committed. If it is related to population problems to be resolved or processed, whether it is a Certificate of Domicile (SKD) or the issuance of an Identity Card (KTP). For matters of immorality and alcoholic drinks, an investigation is made in the form of an Investigation Report (BAP) and then issues a Statement Letter as a form of guidance, d) That legal enforcement is not following the mandate of Perda No. 7 of 2017 concerning Public Order because there are no cases that have been continued until the trial of minor criminal acts.

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.

During the Peronist years (1943‐55), architect Jorge Sabaté designed several exhibitions and ephemeral installations to be erected in the central streets of Buenos Aires. These interventions were aimed at transforming the face of the city, repurposing its spaces for unprecedented uses and expressing the right ‘the people’ had gained to free time, outings and leisure. In this article, I examine the architectural illustrations that Sabaté appended to the rest of his plans. The incorporation into his drawings of the social practices of metropolitan strolling is one of the ways in which the Peronist exhibitions designed by Sabaté relate to urban culture. By staging the masses in these materials, Sabaté proposes a whole new form of conviviality in public space and depicts the popular sectors aspiring to a new lifestyle made possible by the intersection of technological progress and expanded access to consumer goods.

Este trabajo se propone ilustrar posibles lecturas acerca de un proceso de reconversión de la imagen identitaria de una ciudad de rango medio. De modo específico, se centrará en el nombramiento oficial de la ciudad de Azul (ubicada al sudoeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina) como “Ciudad Cervantina”, otorgado en 2007 por el centro Unesco Castilla - La Mancha. Proclamado como tal sobre la base de hitos consolidados en las primeras décadas del siglo XX, el perfil cultural de la ciudad configuró un relato hegemónico donde lo cervantino fue ponderado como valor distintivo frente al contexto regional e internacional. Tomando un corpus de registros etnográficos, me propongo analizar cómo “la ciudad” atraviesa este proceso de emblematización de su imagen a partir de dos focalizaciones empíricas. Por un lado, el sector impulsor del nombramiento que ocupa este trabajo, referenciado en una biblioteca-museo (“Casa Ronco”). Por el otro, una agrupación local de moteros (“Quijotes del camino”) concebida en términos de parodia e ilustrativa de las posibles re-significaciones populares edificadas ante el uso restringido del concepto de cultura con anclaje en lo cervantino.Palabras clave: Cultura. Lo cervantino. Parodia. Popular. The cult and the parody of a "ciudad cervantina"AbstractThis paper proposes to illustrate possible readings about a reconversion process of the identity image of an intermediate-range city. Specifically, it will focus on the official appointment of Azul (located to the southwest of Buenos Aires, Argentina) as “Cervantes City”, granted in 2007 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Proclaimed as such in the first decades of the twentieth century, the cultural profile of the city set up a hegemonic account where “Cervantes” was weighted as a distinctive value in the face of regional and international context. Considering a corpus of ethnographic records, I intend to analyze how “the city” crosses this process of reconversion from two empirical focuses. On the one hand, the driving sector of the appointment, referenced in a library-museum (“Ronco House”). On the other hand, a local motorcycle club “Quijotes del camino” (Quixotes of the way) conceived as parody and illustrative of some popular resignifications facing a restricted use of the culture concept referenced in “Cervantes”.Keywords: Culture. Cervantes. Parody. Popular.

This book is an extraordinary work of scholarship from one of Argentina's leading historians of modern Buenos Aires society and culture. In the late nineteenth century, the city saw a massive population boom and large-scale urban development. With these changes came rampant crime, a chaotic environment in the streets, and intense class conflict. In response, the state expanded institutions that were intended to bring about social order and control. This book mines both police records and true crime reporting to bring to life the underworld pistoleros, the policemen who fought them, and the crime journalists who brought the conflicts to light. In the process, the book crafts a new portrait of the rise of one of the world's greatest cities.

Abstract This article argues that the cultural semiotic model of the “semiosphere” by Lotman (Lotman, Grishakova and Clark 2009) can be productively employed to interpret the complex layers of social order and liminal sociality in Daniel Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year (1722). Defoe’s text, analysed with a cultural semiotic approach, appears as more than a shocking re-narration of a historical event, as it becomes possible to read this proto-novel as a text that showcases and makes experiential the entanglement of social breakdown and social needs. London during the plague is shown as a space that labours to enforce both discursive as well as physical borders, but fails in both instances: The lively media public which Defoe depicts for the mid-17th century is shown as failing to establish boundaries of ‘facts’ and ‘fake news’, while single human beings constantly defy the shutting orders of the authorities, or flee the city illegally. In the semiosphere of a London constituted by a state of exception, Defoe strategically inserts permeable boundaries to show a survival of conviviality in the face of the breakdown of society. The main topoi of Lotman’s cultural semiotic model – explosion and periphery – illustrate both the discursive disorientation during the plague as well as the spatial peripheries of the city as sites of liminal social survival in the face of catastrophe.

This text seeks to explore the Argentine films Castro (Alejo Moguillansky, 2009) and El asaltante (Pablo Fendrik, 2007) from within the displacement of their characters through the city. This transit configures the organising element of the plots, determining the direction and rhythm of events. The escape motto will structure the film analyses, which are also twinned by the sensory apprehension that comes from the spaces they travel through. The notion of escape, as explored by Esteban Dipaola in Argentine cinema of the 1990s, continues to throb in mid-to-late 2000s production, and in these films represents the means by which the protagonists deploy critical attitudes—sometimes radical and explosive, sometimes silent—in the face of fixed notions, suggesting some scepticism about the “stability” and “order” that they (dis)encounter in normality. RESUMEN Este texto busca explorar los largometrajes argentinos Castro (Alejo Moguillansky, 2009) y El asaltante (Pablo Fendrik, 2007) a partir del desplazamiento de sus personajes por la ciudad. El transitar se configura como elemento organizador de las tramas, determinando la dirección y el ritmo de los acontecimientos. El tema de la fuga irá estructurando los análisis de las películas, las cuales también están relacionadas por la aprehensión sensorial que hacen de los espacios que recorren. La noción de fuga, tal y como fue explorada por Esteban Dipaola en el cine argentino de los años 90, continúa vigente en la producción de mediados/fines de la primera década del siglo XXI, y en estas películas es el recurso por medio del cual los protagonistas despliegan actitudes críticas – a veces radicales y explosivas, y a veces silenciosas – frente a nociones convencionales, lo cual hace pensar que existe un cierto escepticismo con relación a la “estabilidad” y al “orden” que ellos (des)encuentran en la normalidad. RESUMO Este texto busca explorar os longas-metragens argentinos Castro (Alejo Moguillansky, 2009) e El asaltante (Pablo Fendrik, 2007) a partir do deslocamento de seus personagens pela cidade. O transitar configura-se como elemento organizador das tramas, determinando a direção e o ritmo dos acontecimentos. O mote da fuga estruturará as análises dos filmes, os quais também se irmanam pela apreensão sensorial que fazem dos espaços que percorrem. A noção de fuga, conforme explorada por Esteban Dipaola no cinema argentino da década de 1990, continua a pulsar na produção de meados/fins dos anos 2000, e é, nestes filmes, o recurso através do qual os protagonistas desdobram atitudes críticas – às vezes radicais e explosivas, às vezes silenciosas – diante de noções fixas, sugerindo certo ceticismo em relação à “estabilidade” e à “ordem” que eles (des)encontram na normalidade.

Among contact sports, the practice of martial arts offers a greater risk of causing dental trauma and fractures as contact with the face is more frequent. The primary objective of the research is to evaluate the incidence of mouthguard use, and the secondary objective is to verify which type has a greater predominance and the difficulties in its use correlating to the type of mouthguard used. A documentary study was carried out with 273 athletes of different contact sports, among them: MMA, Boxing, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, and Taekwondo of the city of Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was concluded that the most commonly used mouthguard is PB Boils and Bites - Type II and its level of approval is poor, interfering with the athletes’ performance, mainly in relation to the breathing factor.
