This article aims to account for the relationships between the development of the children's political knowledge and the social practices in which they participate. In order to achieve this objective, the following paper examines a series of psychogenetic studies carried out since the end of the 80's in Buenos Aires in school environment, on the political ideas that children and adolescents construct about the national government and the presidential function. This analysis is elaborated in the light of another very recent research, of anthropological orientation and ethnographic perspective, where it is studied the political knowledge elaborated by children and young people who participate in community practices and inhabit houses as illegal tenants in the same city. In this way, a critical comparison is established between these investigations, which centrally includes the methodological aspects, as well as the scope of the results, for a conceptual re-elaboration around the study of the processes of knowledge construction in the political field.

This paper analyzes the press control practices used by the provincial political powers of Entre Ríos between 1862 and 1870. This period was characterized by an increasing political dispute and the deepening of public debate. An indication of this process is the increase in the number of newspapers and the diversity of their political positions. Most of the newspapers were Federalists and supporters of Urquiza, but they maintained a space of discursive autonomy and what was published did not always go along the lines of the caudillo's interest. Also, there were Unitary and dissident Federal newspapers which were very critical of the provincial government and the figure of Urquiza. Respect for press freedom as a legitimating principle of the exercise of power prevented the development of legislation restricting that freedom and discouraged the practice of filing law suits for libel against publishers or journalist among provincial officials. Hence, the way in which political power managed to limit opinion was dominated by informal practices of political control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The collectives that face politically the dominant order produce discourses through which they discuss, at various levels, those stereotypes imposed by the dominant discourse. In cases of lesbian collectives, those emerging representations redefine derogatory clichés or stereotyped poses. This paper proposes a critical reading of the http:j j adoratrixsdelavlvapeluda.blogspot.com; http:f j escritosheréticos.blogspot.com and http:j jmalascomolasa.blogspot.comj blogs, in order to study their discursive modes and polítical poses linked to the ethos that those building identities assume, tensioned between the need of images to be identified in connection with a group and the recognition of the oppressive nature of the concept of identity. If this is defined from an illusory consensus, little sensitive to difference and multiplicity, Sylvia Molloy' s concept of pose redefines identity as something transient, arbitrary or eccentric, open to the possibility of being other / s. This analysis focuses on subjectivity and language and relationship with other/ s, to try an approach to the forms assumed by the ethos in those discourses, as a cultural sign that tries to escape the identity mandates of the dominant culture.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze primary education policy during the administration of the self-proclaimed "Liberating Revolution". The few studies that have examined this issue state that the Liberating Revolution government erased the traces that Peronism had left in the education system. Our interest is to review this process. To do this, we analyze the conflicts within the government, the institutional design of education governance and internal organization of schools. We ask whether despite the ideological and political ruptures, it is possible to find elements of continuity with the previous period. Our empirical observation area is the province of Buenos Aires.

This paper presents some results of a research on discourses about "natives" in the context of a secondary school in Córdoba, Argentina. This research was developed during 2006-2007, and it was focused on the analysis of a pedagogical project that considered on the topic of "cultural diversity" and "indigenous people" in order to design educational strategies of intervention to improve and/or transform pedagogical practices. These results mainly discuss the relationship between school and cultural difference in the context of the significant political, economic and cultural changes that took place from the 90's.

The objective of this work is to offer a theoretical and explanatory framework for the analysis of the events happened in Santa Rosa city in the summer of the 2008, which finished with mayor Juan Carlos Tierno's dismissal. The paper tries to put in the foreground the relationships between the politics's domains and art. That's why we work with the concepts already developed by a series of classical authors of the aesthetic studies. In the same way, we try to confront those conceptual and methodological determinations with the social mobilization and the aesthetic actions developed at the same time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with some beliefs and attitudes produced by the victorious groups of the coup d'état that took place in October 1820. We attempt to show that after these violent political episodes, centralist sectors displayed a conciliatory rhetoric that can be traced in periodicals and in the messages announced by men with political and military power in the province. Such a rhetoric was accompanied by measures taken by the provincial executive power and they were intended to integrate some federal sectors recently defeated. This statement allows to question the idea that October winners started an intense revenge over defeated groups, which could be noticed in the new military reforms where no former revolutionary would be included.

The aim of this paper is to make a description of the process in which the National Education Law Number 26206 (NEL) was promulgated and to make a critical comparative analysis of some topics regulated by that law to point out continuities' and differences with the Federal Law of Education Number 24521. The analysis is focused, on the one hand, on the political style of the NEL based on decisions rather than on deliberations and, on the other hand, on aspects regarding the governability of the education system. The topics were chosen giving priority to those connected with the distribution of attributions among the different education agents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims at studying Hobbes' political ideas, and the starting point of this analysis is the differentiation suggested by Michelangelo Bovero, as regards the concept of politics: politics as conflict or contrast and politics as order or composition. Hobbes' thought seems to follow the second definition, but: Is it possible to exorcise conflict from politics and from society itself through the concentration of forces in a sovereign power, and the imposition of a universal order? Moreover, this document will try to approach Hobbes. political ideas, in the reading of two plays of the English literature: William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" and Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels", the former being written before Hobbes' work and the latter after it.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the similarities in terms of historical conceptions between Hannah Arendt and Arthur Danto. On the basis of those similarities, and m view of the fact that the works of Arendt related to this subject were published before those of Dante- middle and late 50s- we will try to show how this authoress anticipated, m a certain way, the general approach of historical narrativism that began with Dante's publication in 1965 of his book Filosofia analítica de la historia en We also consider that, unlike Dante. Arendt deals not only with the epistemological issues of History but also with the relationship between History and Politics This particular aspect in Arendt's approach, that we will call the political dimension of History, plays a key role In the strengthening o1 the public sphere [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
