The literary journals about argentinian surrealism

En Argentina, el Surrealismo se difundió en las revistas literarias que publicó el grupo que surgió por iniciativa de Aldo Pellegrini, en 1926, en Buenos Aires. La primera, Qué, se publicó en 1928 y 1930; la segunda, Ciclo, en 1948 y 1949; la tercera, A Partir de Cero, en noviembre y diciembre de 1952 y 1956; la cuarta, Letra y Línea, entre octubre y noviembre de 1953, diciembre-enero y julio de 1954; la quinta, Boa, en mayo y junio de 1958 y 1960; la sexta, La rueda, en 1967; y la última, Talismán, en mayo y septiembre de 1969. Sus páginas reflejan la iniciación, evolución y divulgación de ese ismo en la literatura argentina y, también, los antecedentes franceses en que se apoyaba. La creatividad está presente, a través de textos, manifiestos propios y poemas del grupo, que con intervalos se reunió desde 1926 hasta la muerte de Pellegrini, en 1973.In Argentina the Surrealism was spread on the literary jounals which published the group inspired by Aldo Pellegrini, in Buenos Aires in 1926. Qué (‘What’), the first one, was published in 1928 and 1930; Ciclo (‘Cycle’), the second, published in 1948 and 1949; A Partir de Cero (‘From zero’), thethird, in November and December 1952 and 1956; the fourth, Letra y Línea (‘Letter and line’), was published in October and November 1953, December-January and July 1954; Boa (‘The boa’), the fifth, in May and June 1958 and 1960; La rueda (‘The Wheel’), the sixth, in 1967; and the last, Talismán (‘The talisman’), in May and September 1969. Their scripts reveal the origins, evolution and spread of this “ism" in the Argentinean Literature and, also, its support in the French precedents. The creativity is there, from texts, own manifiestos and poems from the group met, with some intervals, from 1926 to 1953 (Aldo Pellegrini’s death).Fil: Poblete Araya, Kira.

Interlayer Coherence in the ν=1\nu=1 and ν=2\nu=2 Bilayer Quantum Hall States

We have measured the Hall-plateau width and the activation energy of the bilayer quantum Hall (BLQH) states at the Landau-level filling factor $\nu=1$ and 2 by tilting the sample and simultaneously changing the electron density in each quantum well. The phase transition between the commensurate and incommensurate states are confirmed at $\nu =1$ and discovered at $\nu =2$. In particular, three different $\nu =2$ BLQH states are identified; the compound state, the coherent commensurate state, and the coherent incommensurate state.Comment: 4 pages including 5 figure

Surrealist/Inventionist Vanguard Magazines and Transformations of Criticism in the '50s

Las revistas Ciclo (1948-1949), dirigida por Aldo Pellegrini, Enrique Pichón Rivière y Elías Piterbarg; A Partir de Cero (1952, 1956), a cargo de Enrique Molina; Poesía Buenos Aires (1950-1960), de Raúl Gustavo Aguirre, y Letra y Línea (1953-1954), también dirigida por Aldo Pellegrini, fueron representativas de la denominada "vanguardia de los '50" [Freidemberg, Espejo, Calbi]. Miradas desde la crítica y la historia literaria, estas revistas han sido consideradas sobre todo como órganos de difusión de dos movimientos poéticos: el surrealismo y el invencionismo. Sin embargo, es posible leer en ellas una producción crítica tan renovadora como la que supuso el grupo Contorno al distanciarse de los paradigmas consolidados por la academia o el periodismo cultural –la filología clásica, la estilística y el comentario [Avaro y Capdevilla, Rosa, Panesi]–, ya que las revistas de vanguardia pusieron en circulación una serie de textos de Georges Bataille, Maurice Blanchot, Renè Char, Max Bill, Jean Paul Sartre, constituyendo un proceso de modernización no solo literaria, sino también crítica.The following magazines: Ciclo (Pellegrini, Pichón Rivière, Piterbarg: 1948- 1949), A Partir de Cero (Molina: 1952, 1956), Poesía Buenos Aires (Aguirre: 1950-1960), y Letra y Línea (Pellegrini: 1953-1954), were representative of what then was known as the '50 avant-garde movement [Freidemberg, Espejo, Calbi]. But they were also an enabling space for renewal of argentine criticism.

Introduction: Christianity, Gender, Sexuality and the Law in Latin America

The issues of gender, sexuality and reproduction have gained a strong public presence in Latin America in recent years. Political agendas have begun gradually to include topics related to LGBTI rights and access of people "especially women " to reproductive justice. In some cases, these processes have generated policies, laws and judgments favorable to women and LGBTI movements?s demands. For example, in recent years, countries as diverse as Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico, Colombia and Brazil allowed same-sex marriage, whether through the adoption of laws or by favorable rulings, after broad political and social debates. Other countries, including Ecuador, Costa Rica and Chile, still do not recognize same-sex marriage, but have allowed civil unions. Argentina and Bolivia also adopted laws of gender identity which, among other things, guarantee the right to recognition of self-perceived identity over the one assigned at birth. Moreover, in recent years, Uruguay and the Federal District of Mexico have legalized abortion under a trimester-based system, while other countries have expanded the decriminalized grounds for terminating a pregnancy voluntarily, despite maintaining the illegality of abortion.However, the successful expansion of rights with respect to gender, sexuality and reproduction, is not a linear process or free from controversy and backlashes. In 1997, for example, El Salvador banned abortion without exception, a decision emulated by Nicaragua in 2007. In 2015, the Peruvian Congress rejected the adoption of a civil union law. In addition, since at least 1998 Latin America has seen a wave of litigation and legislative processes against emergency contraception (Peñas Defago and Morán Faúndes, 2014). Some of these have been reversed. In Chile, a law was passed in 2010 during Michelle Bachelet?s first administration (2006-2010) allowing the public health system to provide emergency contraception, which reversed an unfavorable ruling of the Constitutional Court in 2008. In Honduras and elsewhere, however, bans on emergency contraception remain.Considering the ongoing and often public controversy around these issues, it is necessary to develop and deepen the frames through which we understand how these dynamics unfold in the region. To this end, the contributors to this special issue understand gender and sexuality as public and political fields characterized by tensions, disputes and struggles over power, including state power.Fil: Sáez, Macarena.

The Development of 'Pro-Life' NGOs in Argentina: Three strategic movements

In Latin America, the agenda of sexual and reproductive rights advocated by the feminist and LGBTI movements has challenged the hegemony of the sexual order held by traditionalist sectors, especially the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and conservative evangelical churches. These religious groups have reacted, in turn, to arrest the advance of feminist and LGBTI agendas. Beyond conservative Catholic and evangelical hierarchies, opposition activists also include religious academic institutions, politicians, Christian lay movements, and civil society groups, among others, all committed to a more restrictive view of sexuality. One important strategy of this "Pro-Life" activism in recent years has been the conformation of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This article offers an analysis of the emergence and development of "Pro-Life" NGOs in Argentina. Using both quantitative and qualitative data, it examines three strategic movements made by these NGOs from the 1980s to the present: a state-political turn that favored strategies aimed to colonize the state and to impact sexual policies and the law; a blurring of religious identities; and a process of federalization and civil ecumenism.Fil: Moran Faundes, Jose Manuel Ferrucio.

Book review: Furtado, Celso (2020): The myth of economic development, Medford, MA, USA and Cambridge, UK (111 pages, Polity Press, hardcover, ISBN 978-1-5095-4013-6; softcover, ISBN 978-1-5095-4014-3; ebook, ISBN 978-1-5095-4015-0)

On the 100th anniversary of Celso Furtado's birth, several publications, such as Klüger (2020) and Lacerda et al. (2020), and conferences, such as 'Celso Furtado 100 anos', were created to honour the achievements of one of the founders of Latin American Structuralism. In this context, Polity Press has published, for the first time in English, Furtado's book from 1974, O Mito do Desenvolvimento Econômico. In this book, Furtado aims to unmask what he names as 'the myth of economic development', which acts as guidance for most economic models of development. In short, the myth consists of the belief that consumption patterns from central countries, associated with development, can be universalized to the entire population of undeveloped peripheral countries. To elaborate on his arguments, Furtado critically revises 'The limits to growth' (LTG) report (Meadows et al. 1972), commissioned by the club of Rome. This study concluded, by means of a computational model, that the world seen as a whole system would find its limits to growth approximately 100 years after the publication of the LTG report. According to Furtado, this report, which has had great influence in the de-growth literature (Fournier 2008), is wrongly based on the myth of economic development and consequently overestimates the consequences of growth, leading to 'catastrophic conclusions'. The English version of O Mito do Desenvolvimento Econômico analysed in the present review includes an introduction by Ndongo Samba Sylla, which presents a short biography of Furtado focusing on his academic influences and studies, publications, and research framework. In addition, the introduction provides a summary of the LTG report and a summary and analysis of The Myth of Economic Development itself.Fil: Graña Colella, Santiago.

Apuntes iniciales para una polémica marginal : Aldo Pellegrini y Osiris Troiani; de Letra y Línea a Contorno

Entre mediados de 1954 y septiembre de 1955, en las jóvenes revistas Letra y Línea, Capricornio, y Contorno, se mantuvo una polémica dilatada entre Osiris Troiani y Aldo Pellegrini, cuya causa parecía justificarse en una nota de Carlos Latorre acerca de Sur y la literatura italiana. El propósito de este trabajo es, por un lado, dar cuenta de esa temporalidad desfasada y marginal en que se organiza esta disputa contra los preceptos del surrealismo, más precisamente, el surrealismo en Argentina, reparando en cuáles son las nuevas concepciones críticas y literarias que comienzan a ponerse en juego al momento de discutir. Por otro lado, aunque de forma breve, se amplía el contexto de revistas literarias y publicaciones periódicas que han sido introducidas, tanto en referencias como en repercusiones de esta polémicaFil: Stedile Luna, Verónica.

Magazines and avant-garde movements in Literary Histories

Las revistas Ciclo (1948-1949), dirigida por Aldo Pellegrini, Enrique Pichón Rivière y Elías Piterbarg; A partir de cero (1952, 1956), de Enrique Molina; poesía buenos aires (1950-1960), a cargo de Raúl Gustavo Aguirre principalmente, y Letra y línea (1953-1954), también dirigida por Aldo Pellegrini, han sido consideradas las más representativas de la vanguardia del cincuenta. Si bien parecería haber una clara delimitación cronológica, que podría circunscribirse al período 1944-1960, las Historias de la Literatura más recientes exponen variados problemas de periodización en el tratamiento de esta segunda vanguardia en relación con las revistas literarias. Tales problemas dan cuenta de la inestabilidad que se aloja en la categoría de "época". Este trabajo propone la consideración de otras nociones como "iterabilidad", "anacronismo" y "retorno".The following magazines: Ciclo (Pellegrini, Pichón Rivière, Piterbarg: 1948-1949), A partir de cero (1952, 1956), poesía buenos aires (Aguirre: 1950-1960), y Letra y línea (Pellegrini: 1953- 1954), were representative of what then was known as the '50 avant-garde movement. While there seems to be a clear chronological delimitation, which could be limited to the period 1944-1960, this avant-garde raises various periodization problems for the most recents Literary Histories. Such problems account for the instability that is lodged in the category of "epoch".
