Women are a fundamental historical subject of the Galician overseas migrations, being Argentina the most important American destination, where hundreds of thousands lived, worked, and preserved their culture and transmitted it. However, migratory studies have tended to invisibilize their specific dynamics and experiences as they were traditionally seeing either as mere companions of their countrymen or part of a family reunification phenomena. This misrepresentation complicated the understanding of their reality giving rise to stereotypes and to the undervaluation of their role in the migration process. Therefore, it is necessary to advance in the study of their individual as well as collective realities and experiences to make visible the changes in their daily lives, to which emigration could have given rise. This paper explores the potential that a series of sources considered "emigration literature" in the twentieth century have to that end, including biographies, autobiographies and fictional autobiographies, collective books of testimonies, essays, stories based on real experiences, among other sources that fall under what is called "migration literature."

This research paper develops an analysis of orality as a narrative resource in Ricardo Zelarayán's poetics. After a brief introduction to the objectives of this work and to the bibliography that, up to now, has dealt with this author, still meager outside Argentina, two sections are displayed corresponding to two scenes from the first chapter of Lata peinada, an unfinished novel that Laura Estrin edited in 2008 with the author's help. The reasons why these scenes, as enigmatic as revealing, have been chosen are the reproduction they make of the traditional tension between popular culture and literate culture and the fact that they allow the elucidation of a Zelarayanian author's figure. The results that this textual exegesis will illuminate are, on the one hand, that the voice occupies a preeminent place in the poetics of Zelarayán compared to the letter, as will be seen from the first scene, and the orphanhood that defines the writer's trade, whose poetics isolates him from the literate tradition. Collaterally, attention will be paid to the method of construction of the characters in the novel, the importance of the etymology of their names, traditional music as a narrative resource, or the presence of the «young orphan» motif, typical of the Latin American narrative of between centuries.

Introduction: In this study, the categories "paper reading", "screen reading" and "ways of reading" were analyzed through the words of teachers who belong to different disciplines and headquarters of the Universidad Nacional del Comahue (UNCo), Patagonia, Argentina. Method: For this study, part of a major investigation carried out within the framework of a doctoral thesis in Education, the constant comparative method was used, and qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with teachers, conducted during the 2014-2017 period, were analyzed. Objective: The main objective was to determine the representations of UNCo lectures regarding screen reading and their relationship with the task of teaching at university. Results: Concerning results, on the one hand, it was observed that the ratings on screen reading were different when the focus was shifted from the task of teaching to research. On the other hand, there were several changes in the ways of reading and teaching, although it was admitted that these do not always lead to profound transformations in education. Conclusion: The main conclusion was that, in certain situations, it seems that the so-called "new" technologies have demolished several walls, allowing for more extensive and open ways of teaching, but at the same time, it is noted that new walls have been erected, some of which only reproduce old pedagogical models.

This paper proposes an approach to a dimension of the practices of State terrorism in Argentina: torture in the concentration camps. More specifically, about the torture suffered by women during their captivity. For this, we analyze the experience of four political activists, kidnapped in the province of Entre Ríos. The text reviews three distinct moments, the before, during and after State terrorism. Each one of them allows, without deflating the magnitude of what happened, understanding how the objective structures of the State are modified to exterminate the reduced groups to a negativized otherness.

In this paper, we will analyze the level of conflict of teachers in the eighties in Argentina. We will do so through the study of the teacher union of the province of Santa Fe and of the 1988 strike that had a major national impact. This protest took different names, such as "Maestrazo", "White Demonstration" or "White Strike", but they all referred to the same scenario: mass mobilization encouraged by teachers and their union representatives in a troubled political, economic and cultural context at national level.

This paper seeks to initiate a reflexion on education as another way of thinking of the May 1810 revolution in Argentina. Such a goal requires returning, among other things, to the objectives of the May Revolution, which were the principles intended for education, what kind of knowledge and skills were believed to be necessary, which was the relationship between education and change and what were the philosophical, political and pedagogical educational paradigms of that time. The insistence of some of the "men of May" about the new government to be based on an also new citizen made them rethink education, in order to ensure the people's access to revolutionary ideas with which they intended to found a new order, and perhaps a nation.
