The article presents some analysis derived from an ongoing doctoral research project aimed at studying the characteristics that formative experiences in primary schools in Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires adopt, in the context of which are considered as recent schooling conditions. The contribution of this paper lies in offering an analytical reading of one of the classes that took part in one of the schools considered for the study. It is shown how theoretical categories arising from Basil Bernstein’s Theory of Pedagogic Discourse are used to reconstruct the rules on which the referred class is built, as well as the way in which those rules are delineated through class interactions. Simultaneously, some hypotheses and questions are presented, setting relations between the analyzed rules orienting the construction of the pedagogical practice and the distribution of pedagogic democratic rights.

Compulsory secondary school was settled by law 26206 breaking the foundational mandate linked to selection and giving at the same time legal statement to another social commitment: the inclusion of young people belonging to popular sectors into the secondary school. The next decade following the sanction of the compulsion of the level was characterized by a series of questions around the effective inclusion in the school and the changes and transformations required by that inclusion. In this paper we center our attention on a strategy of implementation of educational politics, the Plans of Institutional Improvement and its institutional concretion in four secondary schools under state management in a district of the western conurbation of the province of Buenos Aires. We shall analyze here the strategies of institutional intervention and the accompanying on school courses which different institutions bring into play for young people belonging to popular sectors. We analyze in what way these strategies stand upon diverse social representations about young people and their possibilities to remain in secondary school nowadays. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper describes the exercise of motherhood among female prisoners in Unit No. 33 at the town of Los Hornos, (La Plata, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina). During 2016, practices and perceptions about motherhood and parenting were observed through a questionnaire that included open questions, as well as observations and informal talks in the pavilions. It was possible to make the conflict visible that arises for female prisoners due to the deprivation of their freedom and the gender mandates associated with the "role" of being a mother. They were affected by the impact of their imprisonment on their children, and felt that they had abandoned their obligations by unprotecting those whom they had to take care of. They assumed the damage that their situation caused on the development of their children, whether they were inside or outside the prison. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to explore Great Buenos Aires's politics analyzing midterm elections (2009) from my ethnography in a shantytown of La Matanza under a process of urbanization. I will try to show some outlooks which are usually darkened by electoral analyses. While these researches usually focus on campaign strategies and political networks in order to explain (or predict) electoral results, the main contribution of this paper is to show how elections are generally imposed and locally appropriated from a local perspective oriented towards the urbanization of the shantytown.

The following paper is an attempt to explore some dimensions involved in the use of money by subaltern sectors from José León Suárez, province of Buenos Aires. We claim that the specific practices of consumption, credit and saving, that take place at the intersection between the perceptions about income and the formal and informal mechanisms regulating the relationship to money, tend to widen the inequalities found in those social sectors. In this sense, our paper claims that consumption practices are structured by perceptions around income, that is, the nature of the job involved - whether formal or informal - the regularity and periodicity of wages, and the modality of wage payment - bank account or otherwise. Within this framework, we may find differential access to credit - in banks and retail stores as well as "credit rating" and "trust" among relatives and neighbors and small local stores - that entail associated ways of dealing with time both as an experience and something that can be calculated upon. All these dimensions, crisscrossed by regulations, exclusions and controls that shape the ways of spending, frame differential approaches to the use of money and saving. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The goal of the present paper is to determine, from a spatial and temporal perspective, the distribution patterns of drought, obtaining areas of extreme hydrological risk in the departments of the Buenos Aires province (Argentina). The hydrologic constants (Field Capacity and Permanent Wilting Point) are analyzed and a synthesis map elaborated. Then, the relationship with data from agricultural emergencies caused by drought is established. As drought is highly related to climate variability and its influence over soils, an analysis which might allow to identify temporal and spatial patterns of drought and so risk areas is considered hereby relevant. The obtained results show the drought-affected areas distributed by department, the relationship with the hydrologic constants and their risk with respect to the analyzed event. The present paper belongs to the research project: "Water , development and uncertainty. The reduction of availability a paradigm of inequity" which is in process at UNLP-FAHCE-CIG since 2008.

This paper deals with theoretical and practical aspects of historical socio- linguistics. After a brief consideration of its goals, methodology, and the sources required for the construction of pertinent corpora, two important aspects of the evolution of Spanish in the Buenos Aires region are considered: the standardization of Spanish from the sixteenth century up to the twentieth century, and the evolution of address forms. Concerning the first topic, the author shows the decline of a group of phonic features normally considered as "vulgares y rústicos" (Lapesa 1980) and associated with the progress of standardization observed by means of the methodological tools of flexible stability and intellectualization. Concerning the second, a wide restructuring of address forms initiated about 1850 and continuing up to this century is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper represents a contribution to the knowledge about the experience of the Japanese community in rural areas of Argentina, particularly Buenos Aires (state) across the first half of the 20th century. With the objective of updating knowledge about this subject, a comparison was made between communities in peri-urban agricultural colonies: La Capilla, located in Florencio Varela, and Justo José de Urquiza, La Plata. We also focus on the origins, incursions, productive profiles, and the level of participation of Argentine and/or Japanese entities that influenced how each community developed, as well as successful companies and migrant settlement.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the accusatory reform in the province of Buenos Aires and its impact on access to justice. The main thesis is that despite the reformers rhetoric, and changes promoting an independent Public Prosecutor with more resources and investigative powers, the reform has increased criminalization of offences committed by vulnerable sectors of the population, leaving aside the prosecution of political corruption and police violence.

This paper analyzes the disputes that took place in rural towns during the Buenos Aires Campaign for the control of military commands. We seek to identify the opportunities that arose during the revolutionary process to transform the local government in a context of deep contradictions between the will of the upper government to control the campaign, and the aspirations of self-government of the towns. Through this, we identify some of the components of the political cultures that were a product of a singular combination and selective appropriation of colonial traditions and revolutionary discourses.

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.

Due to the deepening capitalist nature of agricultural production in the pampas region, family farms have had to deal with bigger demands in order to continue working as commodity producers. Even though stressful tendencies have prevailed, the process has not led to the disappearance of this type of production units. This brings up the question about how they have managed to deal with increasingly hostile contexts. In order to answer that question, and trying to find out the clues to their persistence, in this paper we analyze the economic and productive strategies carried out by a group of eleven farmer families of Puan and Adolfo Alsina districts (located in SouthWest Buenos Aires), between the late 1980s and today. Using a qualitative and exploratory approach, we study their economic and productive options taking into account both structural factors - such as labour force organization and land and capital integration- and subjective and cultural aspects.

In the last years, there has been an appreciation of the role of the state, which coexists with strong awareness of their difficulties and constraints to solve different social problems. To adopt and crystallize reform strategies aimed at improving state capacities, and be optimistic about their results, it is necessary to generate knowledge about the factors that condition them. This paper points out that public policy instruments are a key factor of state capacities. Thus, from a case study in 2010 on water policy in the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina), the work shows how public policy instruments determine the strengthening of state capabilities and presents a series of guidelines at nurturing future state reform strategies.

This paper aims to examine the socio-political and territorial dynamics in the implementation of new interventions at the local field. In terms of citizen participation and decentralization, various local initiatives are considered in three districts in the metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Moron and San Miguel). It thus seeks to explain the specific territorial and institutional differences into the processes of construction and reproduction of local political order in each case and into the dynamics and outcomes of these public interventions developed in recent years.

Torilis arvensis (Huds.) Link has been collected in the northeast of Buenos Aires province, Argentina, in urban areas, confirming its existence in the country as was predicted by Pedersen's contribution to the Flora Ilustrada de Entre Rios. This is a rare species in the United Kingdom, but classified as harmful plant in Spain and as a weed in several states of the United States of America. In our country, is regarded as an introduced naturalized plant, which may behave like invasive (plant strategist R) because, among other features, it is a therophyte producing abundant viable seeds. The present paper describes and illustrates this species, including the pollen grains which were studied using optical and scanning electron microscopy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the results of a study of the current situation of sixteen periurban homegardens at the coasts of Ensenada-Berisso and Martín García Island (Buenos Aires, Argentina) in relation to its historical context of ecological, cultural and economic transformations. In this approach, it becomes evident the adaptive character of the local horticultural practices, as well as its supporting traditional knowledge and its contribution to local agrobiodiversity. The homegardens floristic composition was studied, and ethnobotanical qualitative methods were carried out. Eighty cultivated taxa were recorded, as well as diverse products obtained from them. They are used for family consumption and small-scale marketing, as a supplement to the domestic economy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents partial results obtained during a research program developed between Universidad Nacional del Sur and Bahia Blanca Council at Buenos Aires province, Argentina. It was titled "Building the field of children at risk in policymaking at Bahia Blanca city". The main purpose was to characterize the way children in social risk are being defined inside the everyday life of state institutions, specifically those dependents on education and health care system. This presentation analyzes the fist type. At primary schools, children at risk are conceptualized by both adults and children, in their ongoing relationships, during socialization and identity process. These processes are being development in vulnerability areas that point to exclusion systems, because of the material conditions of life and the characteristic of the institutions that adults build daily. The presented data come from the ethnographic exploration in the districts of Villa Miramar and Bella Vista. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, the city of Monte Hermoso has experimented a marked process of urban expansion, mainly as a response to the growth of tourism. The aim of this paper is to analyze the above-mentioned process through the role that the urban land market exerts on the urban configuration, emphasizing the role of estate agents which operate in this market, thus generating a differential valuation of certain areas of the urban space. The methodology used is based on fieldwork, the implementation of semi-structured interviews with key informants and the preparation of thematic mapping for the analysis of data and the communication of results. The most remarkable result of spatial land market performance is the creation of a series of urban areas, which acquire properties that differ from each other and that are directly influenced by the price of the lots.

In this paper we consider tensions and meanings regarding the education of children, produced by those adults who are closely related to them in every-day life (mainly parents and teachers). The empirical referents come from an ethnographic research, in which we carried out in-depth interviews and participant observation in a neighborhood located in the south area of Buenos Aires City. Thus, we interpret the meanings and representations constructed around the "educated person", high-lightening the importance given to education by families -mostly associated to schooling by them-. We also consider some meanings constructed by teachers, relating them with the former. We analyze as well the ways in which these meanings articulate with processes of selection of schools and with different ways of assessing schooling, considering them social practices intrinsically linked to those representations. This allows us to make visible the valorizations, evaluations and tensions related to dimensions of social life that include but also exceed the subjects directly involved in them. This way, we point out diverse and complex articulations between the dimensions of human agency and the structural limitations of a certain social-historical context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The target of this work is surveying the making of a social policy agenda at municipality level. The case taken here is the inclusion of a municipal plan for the strengthening of social problems in a municipality of the province of Buenos Aires. The case offers us the opportunity for investigating on two central problems referred to the agenda of government: the first one, on the conditions under which changes are established in the local agenda by relation to the previous ones. The second question linked to the first one, recounts to the way in which the municipal agents identify social problems and propose strategies of intervention on the same ones. One of the conclusions more importantly of this paper is that the definition of public problems from a local perspective presents a dynamics in which the agents who intervene in the field of the policy and administration in the municipal level raise topics and problems that can be approached across limits and financings that come from the national and / or provincial areas of management.

The town of General Daniel Cerri to 15km from the city of Bahía Blanca has been a receptor space of group of migrations, first the arrived was of Europeans and from some decades the last big wave give position to the boundary countries, in our case of study specially Bolivia, similar situation to the rest of the country. The life's strategies of these groups are characterized for the need to survive to environmental, economic, ecological and socio-cultural adverse conditions. Daily, these families are mark for the outsider of the place in that acting. That outsider place is originated in the same community which been reserved for them the role of cheap labour for activities which the natives don't want to do. The aim of this paper is identify from the micro-social sigth, throw the use of qualitatives techniques, the strategies and practice that this people are forced to use diary to act like member of the area of study. The actions that we try are pieces of different contexts of the life's space. In this case we will try the relationship with other members of the community and with the compatriots throw the religioous practices, the look for and stability in the work and the major o minor entry into the formal education.

This article reflects upon the development of rail transport in the Buenos Aires province, a significant phenomenon in the localization of activities and population, in spatial relationships and in the territorial organization. The Ferrocarril del Sur, during its construction between 1880 and 1930, had a strong impact upon territorial organisation. This paper deals with the urban aspects of the railway, both in terms of how the characteristics of the landscape influenced the railways, and how the latter in turn affected the population, regional land values and the structure of geographic space molded by rail infrastructure, bridges and viaducts, rural and urban stations, supply infrastructure, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 1779 the fort of Carmen de Patagones was founded in the South of the current province of Buenos Aires in response to the Bourbons politics to ensure the territorial control of its colonial dominions. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the development of this town from its establishment to the Rosas government period, recognizing different stages. The first one makes reference to the process of occupation of the land through a particular relation with the native groups of the zone. In a second stage, the fort obtains a relative autonomy in the handling of its political and administrative matters. And in the third one, the government attempted --with relative success-- to limit this autonomy exerting a greater control on the life of the fort. [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.

In the context of studies concerning the Southern Frontier, this paper attempts to characterize the policy that Ranqueles developed towards the emerging Argentinian State during the second half of the 19th century. Specifically, it attempts to identify and explain the changes and continuities in the political actions from the main Ranqueles chiefs according to the different drawbacks that affected the creation of the Argentinian State. In this sense, the work states that during the 1870's the relationship between indigenous and Christians had turned into an asymmetrical one, due to the fact that the National Government from that period had succeeded in turning into the unique interlocutor with which the Ranqueles could act. To support this statement, the text describes the alliances and counteralliances that appeared in the period 1850-1880 between the Ranqueles and the different Christians sectors, since they demonstrate that as the Argentinian State was imposing over the opposition groups to its formation, the indigenous faced deterioration of their capacity of political action. In this way, it examines first the events from the 50's as they give account of the great role that the indigenous played when the Argentine Confederation and the Province of Buenos Aires were confronting. Later, it analyses the events from the 60's when the Ranqueles joined their forces to the federal groups in opposition to the leadership of Buenos Aires. Finally, it studies the indigenous actions prior to their subjugation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
