The aim of this paper is to analyze the female images and representations outlined in "Mi niñez", an autobiography by the Salta artist Carmen Rosa San Miguel de Aranda. We will account for the values that the writer attributes to the women in her narrative and the relationship of this moral repertoire with the context of production of her work. We start from the premise that this life story contributes to the definition of the writer's identity, while highlighting the agreements and tensions between the latter and the canonized female models that constituted the Salta culture of the early twentieth century.

The present study emerges from the need to study the factors that influenced the conformation of the role and media representation of the new or modern first ladies in Chile, especially Rosa Markmann -who held the position between 1946 and 1952-. In this investigation, the trans-Andean Eva Perón (Argentine first lady between 1945 and 1952) emerges as a key figure. Although Rosa and Evita did not know each other personally, we believe that the flow of press and ideas between the two countries may have influenced, or at least encouraged in some way, the Chilean first lady becoming a pioneer in terms of new characteristics that he gave to the role. In this paper we analyze three examples that aim to illustrate the idea raised as they reflect coincidences in their actions, however in all three cases, Eva was a pioneer and had great media coverage: in the field of social assistance, the two changed the traditional role of the first ladies in their respective countries, taking a step from charity towards a broad and organized social action policy; in the political field they coincided in their struggle to obtain the feminine vote; and in the field of international relations, they made trips abroad that were not without controversy and that reflect the global political tensions of the moment. Finally, we conclude that to study the role, its characteristics and mutations, not only should a look be taken at national factors, but it is always important to look at possible foreign influences since countries are and have always been part of the political, economic and world culture.

In the last decade the Vaca Muerta area has been renowned, as a logistics epicenter in Añelo that is located 100 kms from Neuquén Capital. The volume of gas and oil reservoirs in the area puts feminist studies in the region on alert regarding the segregations that activity entails in the bodies of women who are directly affected by the impacts of hydrocarbon activity. In this sense, it is intended to make visible the claims that they carry out and account for some conditions. This paper aims to analyze certain disagreements between the productivist notion of business development that concentrates the extraction of hydrocarbons and the social demands around better conditions of urbanity or transfer in Añelo. There are poor living conditions, ignorance of pre-existing indigenous peoples and few environmental precautions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we will be analyzing, from social studies with a gender perspective, two court decisions about violence against women that were recently made in Neuquén, Argentina. The guiding purpose of this paper is to highlight the tensions -between tensions and resistancesthat exist in the institutions and between the public sector (Court) and private sector (Lawyers) when interacting as agents of justice, in judicialized cases where the victims are women.

This paper aims to examine the way in which the Spanish school textbooks used during the Franco dictatorship, strongly impregnated with Catholic doctrine, contributed to the construction of a feminine identity centred around marriage and motherhood. It is historical-educational research that analyses two primary sources: the Encyclical Humanae Vitae by Pope Paul VI and the Álvarez Encyclopedia: Professional Initiation. The results reveal the existence of a hidden political-social curriculum whose main purpose was to legitimise a system of domination over the female gender. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an exploratory work with descriptive analysis of more than nine hundred women accompaniments by Socorristas of La Pampa between 2015 and 2020. First of all, the article introduce the unique Socorristas device that allows to go through its feminist methodology of situated approach. Then, advance in the analysis on a selection of social, cultural, motivational, relationship, biographical data on the women accompanied in their decision process. The intention is to investigate, and interpret from a feminist perspective, sensitive variables that are part of their daily life, showing that decisions, especially related to motherhood and abortion, are complex, multidimensional and collective constructions.

This paper analyzes the texts of two travelers who refer to the native women who inhabited the Buenos Aires campaign and the Patagonian north during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: Guillermo Cox and Félix de Azara. We consider that their representations are influenced by the ideas of domesticity and morality in force in that period and provide us a distorted image, which we understand constitutes a type of symbolic violence. Both indigenous and "Chinese" women are relegated to domestic spaces which, although they are part of their daily environment, are presented as places where they can not only perform much of their tasks but also play important roles in the life maintenance, enjoying, in many cases, interference in the ownership and administration of property. In general, the evolutionary ideas in force at that time placed these societies in the less advanced stages of human progress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, I will focus on the making of interviews as a work strategy. I do not propose, then, to reflect in the abstract, but based on the historical research I produced from the interviews. I will attend the representative dimension of the concept of citizenship. I will expose the lessons learned in the process of constructing my research problem about how women became political citizens in Argentina between 40's and 50's. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper seeks to address the issues implicated in the construction of feminist genealogies. The perspective adopted incorporates several tensions and dilemmas that pervade the feminist field: those arising from class inequalities, from the effects of racialization, and from geographical locations. It also deals with new transformations as the result of the increased participation of younger generations, which have created an age gap. Due to its recent exponential growth and increased public visibility, the feminism is facing complex challenges. On the one hand, we must bring together past and present, recalling the ways our feminist ancestors envisioned the warps and wefts and knots of the movement. We must carry out this work of weaving from Safina Newbery to Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui and Julieta Kirkwood. On the other hand, we must confront the effects of dispersions of age, political traditions, location, class, embodiment, identities, in a moment driven both by the internationalist spirit of the movement as well as its situated character, its local grounds. Methodologically, the work is based on the revision of theoretical debates as well as on documentary searches for the connections between past and present and for the links among the different spaces where feminists are intervening.

This article is intended to give an account of an extremely interesting experience in the Municipality of Ituzaingó (MuI)--city where both authors live in--, in the western area of Greater Buenos Aires (GBA), where Municipal Public Policies include the Women, Genders, Diversity and Human Rights Council (CMGDyDH for its Spanish acronym), entity responsible not only for various functions, but for trying to prevent the local patriarchal system from continuing imposing itself through culture, society and economy, among other disciplines and practices, not allowing women's empowerment. We aim at conducting an analysis of the Gender-sensitive policies carried out by the CMGDyDH in the MuI, which are developed in a national context of different achievements reached by the feminist movement during the last years. Our question is whether it would be possible to weaken or avoid the patriarchal system, at least in the medium term, in the local context. We are aware that structural changes arise from asocial base, with a multiplier effect towards the super-structural framework, process which we would like to see materialized in order to reach equity and gender social inclusion. One of the general objectives of this article consists in revising theoretically and empirically the possible definition and construction of those intervention and formulation methods of integral Social Policies, in a collective and dialectal manner. The pillars of analysis of this article are: -Past budgetary achievements at national and provincial level, and within the MuI, with a gender-based approach. -Goals accomplished at an institutional, legislative and Public Policies level, with a gender perspective. The first part of this article (I) includes general aspects of Feminist Economics (FE) and the second one (II) consist of a description of the activities carried out by the CMGDyDH in the MuI, its objectives, and an analytical relation with the first part of the article. The second part derives from the Final Research Paper by BSW. Marta Rosendo, presented in the Women and Gender Specialization, at Universidad de Luján. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Argentine Patagonia was incorporated to the national State late in the last decades of the 19th century, after the end of the bloody military campaign that sought state control of the indigenous territory of the south. From then until the 1930s the process of providing educational institutions to the vast Patagonian territory was discontinuous, slow and very uneven in the different regional spaces, intensifying in the urban nuclei and becoming invisible in the Patagonian mesetaria zone. In this context, it is the purpose of this paper to analyze the trajectories of female students and teachers in the first half of the 20th century from the perspective of those who exercised direct authority over them: principals -mostly males- and school inspectors. We are interested in analyzing, from a gender perspective, the presence of teachers in the classrooms, the desired behaviors and the goals to be met according to pedagogical and axiological considerations, within the framework of a normalizing and prescriptive process. For this purpose, we have used a vast array of sourcesreferring to the National Territory of Rio Negro, including school historical books, inspection reports, school concepts teachers, school visit books, school reports, regional and national press articles.

Recent investigations on gender have shown that they do not constitute a multi-centered arena of knowledge production. But, that there is a clear division between center and peripherias, strongly influenced by the United States as a hegemonic centre in theoretical production (Wöhrer, 2016). This paper follows Walter Benjamin's suggestion to write a countercurrent History, which means, firstly, to appropriate critical elements to denounce various faces of epistemic injustice (Fricker, 2007). This concept will help us to illustrate how in Latin America, materialist francophone feminism interweaved together many other silenced contributions. To reconstruct those streams is political as it restitutes a plurality of voices and exhibits how epistemic or cognitive extractivism favors feminism not only to revise theories but also practices. This is how Colette Guillaumin's critical Concepts help to revise and give voice to many "mude concepts" present in the Gender Studies Western Canon, especially when analyzing racism.

This study about inequality(s) occupies a relevant space in therecentacademic contributions from looks that suppose to privilege generally omitted categories, overcoming a traditional area that prioritizes income inequalities. The urban space is also analyzed in the (re) production of the social inequality in the Latin-American cities (Segura, 2014). The predominance of the inequality in the centerperiphery scheme of metropolitan structure reinforces the model of city that does not manage to conquer the invisible barriers placed daily in the life of the population (Caldeira, 2000). Such barriers are remeasured from the complexity of the metropolis producing inequalities on multiple scales. This work is part of an investigation on public policies of habitat from emergent approaches. In previous instances we approach gender constructions in the speeches and practices of the habitat policies implemented in Tucumán in the 2004-2008. Between 2007 and 2015 a series of institutional, legislative and legal changes took place in Argentina with the aim expandingrights and social and gender equality. These must be considered to think today challenges in the equity agendas. From the disciplinary perspective of urbanism, the 21st century finds us with problems and challenges raised global level regarding inclusion in cities. From research instances and collective reflection processes on Latin American metropolises, similar dynamics linked to metropolitan expansion, inequality and vulnerability are evident in the 2005-2015 period. Both lines research, the one that links politics and gender and the one related to the metropolitan agenda and rights, dialogue in this article. Some questions that guide the work refer to: what implies thinking today and in our context, in more inclusive and democratic cities? Which are the advances and challenges of the public policies developed in the last decade? What gender inequalities come together in metropolitan spaces? What answers does the urban agenda demand? This paper presents some reflections on how gender inequalities are expressed in the metropolitan area of Tucumán and on the level of responses, the challenges of the urban and metropolitan agenda regarding the incorporation of human rights and gender equality.

The present article analyzes experiences of women in Self-managed work projects in the province of La Pampa. Several papers address the legal and administrative problematic issues that groups of workers face at the time of self managing their work projects. However, little has been said about the additional obstacles faced by women who try to formalize their entrepeneurship, which include gender inequality issues. Our work intends to be a gender-minded contribution, attending the intersection between work and social issues like class, gender and geographical region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to review some (pre-)historical assumptions beneath the classical Greek philosophy, that go back to the phrygian Great Mother, from which radiate over Minoan Crete, and reach continental Greece particularly through the institution of Eleusinian mysteries. The Great Goddess symbolizes an ontological, ethical and religious conception that has left its marks throughout the Mediterranean watershed, in elements such as the cavern, double-edged ax, butterfly-psyche, mystery initiation, sacramental renaissance, ecstatic dances, etc. Despite being savagely destroyed by the invasion of Indo-European patriarchy, such marks remain in the hidden substrate of hegemonic culture.
