The problem of extension is a nuclear theme in Argentine gaucho literature, and it allows a particular reading of the development of cultural identity of Argentina utilizing as support the impact of the Pampa as an element of nature that resists domestication. To that end, the role of gauchos as prominent figures in literature gains a profound meaning in the crossroads between realism and fantasy, between the threat of the real and the imaginary, that is present in the Argentine Pampa.

The purpose of the article is to establish the theoretical path that makes it possible to reconstruct the notion of lathouse, formulated by Jacques Lacan in the seminar The Other Side of Psychoanalysis. We begin by situating the conditions of the subject as it arises from the Cartesian cogito and the peculiar way in which it is related to the birth of technological capitalism, for which purpose we resort to the reflections of Martin Heidegger. We then turn to some passages from Karl Marx's Capital in order to examine the concept of surplus, on which Lacan bases his notion of surplus of enjoyment. Finally, we analyze the role of the lathouse with respect to the analyst's position. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Using the concept of series this paper attempts to study the motives for violence, crucial to Argentinean culture and literature, in relation to form, aesthetics and ideology. In this case the selection of texts is a cross operation related to the notion of genealogy, and starts where literature establishes connections neither linear nor evolutionary but rather fragmentary, and which, through inscriptions of sense, repetition and displacement, highlight the constants and variables of presumed representations of what is national.

This text shows how radical liberals and ecclesiastical authorities of the Sovereign State of Magdalena created consensus that launched the civilization and education of the indigenous population, concentrated in the national territories of La Guajira, Nevada and Motilones. The coincidence in purposes, overcoming of discursive differences as well as the regional realities urged them to undertake joint action. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper develops a reflection on the elements that concurred in the late nineteenth century in Bogotá to form the notion of aesthetic canon. For the analysis of documentary sources we will refer to two illustrated publications: El Papel Periódico Ilustrado (Illustrated Newspaper), managed by Alberto Urdaneta, and the Revista Ilustrada (Illustrated Magazine), managed by Pedro Carlos Manrique. Such publications define themselves as platforms for the formation of taste and, within a set of political, religious and cultural conditions, allow us to see new processes in the formalisation of specialised culture through institutions such as the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes (National School of Fine Arts). The contribution of these illustrated publications becomes a reference to what will be the relation between art critique and the public, formulating notions of aesthetic appreciation and taste that we understand as programmatic in a project of civilisation.

This article examines Freud's critique of the category of neurasthenia as proposed by George Beard. First, it presents Beard's hypotheses that associate nervousness, modern civilization and neurasthenia. It then identifies Freud's concept of nervousness as applied to the category of anxiety neurosis. In refuting Beard's postulates, Freud not only made a contribution to psychopathology of his time, but also presented a new basis for modern nervousness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the greatest challenges of the present times is to determine the kind of relations that take place between people from different cultures and civilizations. This article is aimed at establishing what civilization is about and proposes an approach to civilization as a system of values, built on individual human choices of people representing different cultures. Then it proposes a concept of crossing the civilization frontiers. One of the possible kinds of relations that can take place between human beings from different civilizations is the Encounter.
