This paper focuses on identifying the legal implications of archaeological heritage in relation to the practices of looting, locally known as "huaquería", and collecting in the Sigsig canton, Ecuador; with emphasis on tenure, education, and the intention of constituting spaces for the exhibition of objects. The inhabitants of this Andean region assign to the past and its materiality a series of links and imaginaries that are manifested in the discourse, which in turn is replicated in the localities as "official history." The problem is based on the contradictory relationship between the legal norm and the socio-cultural context of the people living in archaeological areas, which generates the destruction of sites and, therefore, makes it impossible to generate stories framed in disciplinary knowledge. The methodology used was based on social cartography, talking maps, and interviews with some local actors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The countless number of drawings of the Parthenon made during the last five centuries constitutes a bursting memory of the history of its constructions, destructions and reconstructions. It allows a partial and fragmentary interpretation of the multiple physical and narrative qualities of this architecture both in space and time. The analysis of these series of images as isolated objects implies the risk of their idealization as works of art and also a chronological freezing that would obstruct their power beyond their nature as documents. By contrast, bringing them into dialogue gives way to their vibration reflected either by the dynamism or the flexibility inherent to the architectural ensemble they signify. This text involves a critical perspective and enables a debate focused on the rights and practices adopted by the politics over a planet that is built through transversal approaches between art, culture, and knowledge.

This article discusses the role of general stores in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during the country's war of independence from Spain in the second decade of the 19th century. It examines the prevalence of banditry, including raids of general stores by federal troops as a method of obtaining resources and money. The author studies tax registers from this time period and analyzes the tax exemption provided to the general store owners. The impact of these military raids on the commercial industry and on retail traders both during and after the war is also explored.

Gold was one of the main interests of the Spanish in their conquest campaigns in American territory. After military rule, civil and ecclesiastical authorities implemented measures to continue and justify the looting. Various strategies were designed by the Indians to prevent the pillaging of sacred sites. In the end, it was obvious tension between the survival of indigenous religious practices and politics of repression and censorship imposed by the Crown and the Church. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
