Serving the best interests of the consumer is the responsibility of industry and of regulatory officials. This requires that both be adaptable to change; have a long-rang point of view; and concentrate on problems of the future rather than those of the past. Emphasis is needed on fundamentals in milk quality and sanitation; increasing consumer appeal; and continual increase in efficiency of dairy production.

This article analyses 98 segundos sin sombra (2014) by Giovanna Rivero, one of the most representative writers of Bolivian “new narrative.” 98 segundos problematizes the gendered matrices of culture, foregrounding young and feminized fictional subjectivities that exercise disobedience as a mode of self-determination. Through the re-appropriation of family history and imposed affects, the protagonists build alternative ways of existence by practising detours and deviations, expressing what Julia Kristeva terms “revolt.” These “revolts” establish a conflictive link with the past and, at the same time, emphasize uncertainty about the future. They enable the possibility of distancing oneself from one’s own memory, giving rise to new figures of temporality and calling into question the idea of “civilization.” --- Este artículo analiza 98 segundos sin sombra (2014) de Giovanna Rivero, una de las escritoras más representativas de la “nueva narrativa” boliviana. 98 segundos problematiza las matrices generizadas de la cultura, al construir subjetividades ficcionales jóvenes y feminizadas que ejercen la desobediencia como modo de autodeterminación. En la reapropiación del pasado familiar y de los afectos impuestos, las protagonistas operan sobre ellos desvíos que les permite construir modos de existencia alternativos, “re-vueltas” (Kristeva, 1998) que instalan un vínculo conflictivo con el pasado al tiempo que alojan la incertidumbre sobre el futuro; que habilitan la posibilidad de distanciarse de la propia memoria y dan lugar a nuevas figuras de la temporalidad, llegando a poner en crisis la misma idea de “civilización.”

Now that Chiang Kai-shek and the American strategy of “containment” of Asian communism have grown old together, and the dream of the Nationalist reconquest of the Mainland has faded into nothingness with President Nixon's February meeting with Chinese Communist chieftain Mao Tse-tung and Premier Chou En-lai, there stirs a question that has lain largely dormant over the past two decades: What of the future, of Taiwan (Formosa)? More specifically, should not the United States, sworn protector of Taiwan, (make provision for the Taiwanese to have a voice in determining their own future destiny?The U.S. professes to believe that people may properly be governed only with their consent. It supports the doctrine of self-determination of nations.
