This paper describes elements of automobile culture, a topic that has hardly been studied at all in research on transport and urban culture. Based on Colombian cases, the paper shows how the practices, beliefs, values and emotions associated with automobiles have transcended the universe of cars, to the point that many of the cultural changes in cities were related to automobilities. The argument is developed through a discussion of the role of autonomy, the notion of the driver personality and the automobility system's own socio-material hierarchies. The research is based on the review and analysis of press items and statistical bulletins from the period of 1950-1968 referring to the cases of Bogota and Barranquilla. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the distribution of cinema in the city of Rosario (Argentina) during the interwar period, focusing on the construction of cultural discourses, practices and relations. The paper explores representations, made by various agents, of cinema and the strategies of social and cultural discipline set regarding the films and the audience. Censorship and the disciplinary mechanisms are studied in light of their forms of production and reproduction in the urban social space, trying to (r)establish its sociological historicity.

Spatial analysis of the Santa Elena (Valle) cemetery offers the opportunity to perceive the archaeological object as part of social dynamics, where "María's Tomb" constitutes a support for the memory that gives validity to the legend that emerged from the novel written by Jorge Isaacs. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the notion of material culture from a point of view that integrates oral and archive sources as a means of contributing to the archaeological interpretation of prehispanic, colonial and republican contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to present an interpretive proposal for one of the most common archaeological phenomenon in the Valley of Popayán, i.e., glazed ware, and thereby demonstrate that the disciplinary studies focused on the Colonial and Republican periods may be more useful than the simple corroboration of events told in history texts. In this sense, the mentioned work is more than a substantive production of the so-called historical archaeology and it is specifically circumscribed as a proposal within the framework of material culture studies.

The approach to local economic development proposed in this paper differs dramatically from the common practice of establishing patterns of presumed universal validity. Rather than proposing generalizations, this approach contrasts national ,experiences and tries to identify major options and dilemmas which define each particular experience. Absolute distinctions made by theory are not confirmed on local economic development practice, in which concepts and strategies erroneously considered to be incomparable seem to mix. The state of the art tends to indicate that simple recipes and formulas are not recommendable. Knowledge of local history, culture, institutions and idiosyncrasy could help to solve those dilemmas of local economic development which are indeed universal: the dilemmas of territorial competence, of private and public responsibilities, and of new sociospatial imbalances and ways of intervening in them.
