At the beginning of the twentieth century, in a context of growing eroticization of culture, theatrical performances featured the first female nudes. This article aims to analyze how the female body was presented in these performances and the diversity of meanings derived from its exhibition. In order to do this, I will take as a reference one of the most successful literary works of the Spanish Second Republic, La pipa de oro, whose importance within the period lies in being the first performance to show a naked female breast on stage. From the intersection between social history, the history of sexuality and feminist theory, I will address the double reading that this issue raises: the perpetuation of the traditional role of the "woman as object" or her own liberation. The discursive examination of the script and the hemerographic analysis of its social impact will serve as complementary tools when it comes to addressing the duality of the problem. A comparative analysis of the two positions reveals that only in the light of their convergence, considering one as the consequence of the other, can we attempt to enact a global understanding of such complex phenomenon.

This paper aims at increasing the knowledge related with specialized historiography on the field of migration and tuberculosis in the early decades of the twentieth century, within the context of the internal migration that arrived to the province and the city of Córdoba. Technical literature and testimonies of the time are used as sources. The article is organized in two main sections. On the one hand, it analyses the type of migration that arrived to the city in the context of a healthcare system regarding tuberculosis’ treatment under construction. On the other, it analyses the discourses and concepts that emerged from local power sectors in a scenario characterized by low-income immigrants and a weak healthcare system regarding tuberculosis’ treatment. The paper identifies the existence of concepts and discourses that tended to make the immigrant responsible for spreading the diseases to “healthy” residents and “invading” the city of Cordoba with sick people as well as to bring the collapse of the healthcare system.

The paper attempts to show, as the ethnic associations structure of the Arab community of Valparaiso helps in the process of integration into the host society. It assumes the existence of two positions on the matter. On the one hand, it is argued that associations facilitate the integration of immigrants into the host society (integration theory) and on the other hand states that the institutions created by immigrants strengthen their identity and their slow integration (enclave theory). A historical view of the subject considering aspects such as international positioning of the country of origin of communities, socio-economic developments, future prospects and number of members is suggested. It is perceived to institutions as a result of the aforementioned features and no such causal relationship established with the host society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on different urban and architectural projects, as viewed by the local press during Lencinas' administrations, a member of the Radical political party in the Mendoza province who was active from 1918 to 1930. Among the corpus of projects, we focus specifically on public spaces and housing for the low-income population, which became a significant point of attention in the first decade of the 20th century. The political change brought about by the arrival to power of nontraditional, underrepresented groups had an impact on different cultural fields in Mendoza. Lencina's arrival to power fostered social transformations that benefited the low-income social strata that had been neglected by previous governing elites. Among other changes, the new leaders implemented laws that favored the working class, such as retirement for public employees, and the 8-hour work day. These shifts in the political sphere had an impact on the architectural and spatial spheres. In this paper we systematically trace articles published in the contemporary local press in order to establish relationships between some of these projects and the populist political ideology of these governments.

To get a better understanding of some episodes of the History of Cuba, it is necessary to pay attention to the different approaches and appreciations of foreign personalities that lived in Cuba and were linked to some political activity. Such is the case of the outstanding intellectual of the Dominican Republic Juan Bosch who reflected in his works the behavior of the sociopolitical movements of the Caribbean area, and of Cuba in particular. The work has as objective: To support the overview of Juan Bosch about the events that took place on July 26th, 1953 in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba, the historical context in which they were developed before and after 1953. The study is based fundamentally on the theoretical and empirical methods, including the inductive-deductive, historical-logical, the analysis-synthesis implemented in the bibliographical revision and the writings published by Juan Bosch. This paper seeks to enrich and systematize the knowledge, not treated yet in this way, in the texts for developing the teaching-learning process of the Cuban History. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this paper is to reflect on the changes, organization and continuity of production of urban space, considering the peculiarities and realities of living conditions and habitat of the population of the poorer neighborhoods. From this perspective, it examines the phenomenon of urban segregation, responsible for modifying social relations, making its residents believe, produce and reproduce new and old ways of living in and interacting with the spaces they inhabit. One of the areas of Curundú Corregimiento, located in Panama City, is used as a case study, a notorious area stigmatized for its violence and poverty. In this context, the article presents the pedagogical experience developed in the Escuela de Arquitectura y Diseño de América Latina y El Caribe-ISTHMUS, Panamá, showing the projects carried out by students in the Curundú district.
