La independencia y la crítica (Ardao antes y durante Marcha)

La obra de Arturo Ardao se desplegó, desde comienzos de la década del treinta hasta 1974, no sólo en una larga serie de libros dedicados a la historia de las ideas en Uruguay y en América. Y no sólo en esta opción epistemológica, sino también en el campo más directo de la intervención pública, política y cultural. Dentro de esta línea convergente con la anterior, diríase más académica, Ardao colaboró activamente en publicaciones periódicas, principalmente en el semanario Marcha de Montevideo (1939-1974), del que fue parte fundamental en su estructura orgánica, y donde publicó artículos y ensayos de carácter filosófico -la mayor parte de ellos reunidos o reelaborados más tarde en libros, ahora célebres como Espiritualismo y positivismo en el Uruguay-, así como textos políticos que, según se los observa en este artículo, son parte constitutiva de su labor. En tal sentido, además, el pensamiento y la acción de Ardao contribuyeron, desde Marcha fundamentalmente, a tramar en un espectro muy vasto el campo cultural uruguayo e hispanoamericano del período señalado.Theworks of Arturo Ardao,from the beginning of the thirties until 1970, integrated a long series of books dealing with the history of ideas'in Uruguay and in the American continent. Theywere not only devoted to this epistemologrcal option but also to the more straightforward field of political and cultural intervention. Within this line in convergence with the former, more academic,so to speak, Ardao actively cooperated in periodical publications mainly in the weekly journal Marcha in Montevideo (1939- 1974). He was a fundamental piece in its organic structure, and in it he published articles and essays of a philosophical nature, most of which were later re-elaborated or compiled in renowned books, such as Spiritualism and Positivism in Uruguay. He also published political texts that, as presented in this paper, are a constitutive part of his work. In this respect, furthermore Ardao's thoughts and actions as manifested in Marcha contributed to build, in a wide spectrum, Uruguay's and Latin America's cultural field of the time.Fil: Rocca, Pablo

Cruces y caminos de las antologías poéticas uruguayas

Through an examination of poetry anthologies, this is essay studies the dynamics of Uruguay's literary and cultural production within a national and international social and economic context. This entails a critical reappraisal of the stability of concepts such as nation, anthology and canon. The overview begins in the origin of the Uruguayan State and ends in the present. An appendix includes a bibliographical index of Uruguayan poetry anthologies, with a methodological introduction

En el «Brasil de fuego» (Encuentros y desencuentros: Rubén Darío y Machado de Assis)

The (reciprocal) familiarity and admiration which Rubén Darío felt towards Brazilian poetry and poets became clear in his two visits to Brazil (in 1906 and 1912) and in the poem he dedicated to Machado de Assis. However, it is strange that so little has been written about their acquaintance.El conocimiento y la admiración que Darío sintió por la poesía y los poetas brasileños —y viceversa— quedó demostrado en las dos visitas que realizó al país carioca (1906 y 1912) y en el poema que le dedicara a Machado de Assis. No obstante, no deja de resultar extraño que apenas haya constancias documentales de esas relaciones

Horacio Quiroga ante la pantalla

This essay intends to analyse Horacio Quiroga’s connection with cinema. This relation was developed not only in the field of cinema criticism but also creating scripts, as well as the influence the new art had on some of his tales. From 1918 the connection between cinema and theatre or cinema as a business usually appears on his texts

Competition between surface relaxation and ballistic deposition models in scale free networks

In this paper we study the scaling behavior of the fluctuations in the steady state $W_S$ with the system size $N$ for a surface growth process given by the competition between the surface relaxation (SRM) and the Ballistic Deposition (BD) models on degree uncorrelated Scale Free networks (SF), characterized by a degree distribution $P(k)\sim k^{-\lambda}$, where $k$ is the degree of a node. It is known that the fluctuations of the SRM model above the critical dimension ($d_c=2$) scales logarithmically with $N$ on euclidean lattices. However, Pastore y Piontti {\it et. al.} [A. L. Pastore y Piontti {\it et. al.}, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 76}, 046117 (2007)] found that the fluctuations of the SRM model in SF networks scale logarithmically with $N$ for $\lambda <3$ and as a constant for $\lambda \geq 3$. In this letter we found that for a pure ballistic deposition model on SF networks $W_S$ scales as a power law with an exponent that depends on $\lambda$. On the other hand when both processes are in competition, we find that there is a continuous crossover between a SRM behavior and a power law behavior due to the BD model that depends on the occurrence probability of each process and the system size. Interestingly, we find that a relaxation process contaminated by any small contribution of ballistic deposition will behave, for increasing system sizes, as a pure ballistic one. Our findings could be relevant when surface relaxation mechanisms are used to synchronize processes that evolve on top of complex networks.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
