Returning: the journey to the islands in contemporary narratives about Malvinas

Fil: Vaggione, Alicia. Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Sociales; Argentina.Due to its character as a traumatic incident, the Malvinas War remains a historic event to which discourses return time and again to explore, update and negotiate meanings.Surrounded by relentless narrations where literature is central, I choose works that consider the journey to Malvinas as a recurring topic of contemporary narratives as my standing point. The accounts of the journey persist both in genres of a more testimonial nature (journals and chronicles), and in fictional literature and film. Through them, we can outline a series of questions about war memories. The answers?which are always hypothetical, plastic and versatile in nature? are offered by each piece of material.The journey, associated to movement, enables a return to the past through the questions of the present. A particular perceptive structure is put into play: that of the travellers who wander in order to interact with the territory that unsettles them. From that journey ?linked to the movement that defines and constitutes it?, I am interested in its ability to interact with time. In this paper, I am interested in studying some aspects of the journey in relation to memory, focusing on the link between bodies and affections, experience and writing, and past and present, as shown in the documentary La forma exacta de las islas (2012) by Edgardo Dieleke and Daniel Casabé, as well as in Fantasmas de Malvinas. Un libro de viajes (2008) by Federico Lorenz. Both pieces of work insist on building a memory made up of multiple ways of reading the war experience and of seeing the island territory located at the end of the world.publishedVersionFil: Vaggione, Alicia.

Directly Indecomposables in Semidegenerate Varieties of Connected po-Groupoids

We study varieties with a term-definable poset structure, "po-groupoids". It is known that connected posets have the "strict refinement property" (SRP). In [arXiv:0808.1860v1 [math.LO]] it is proved that semidegenerate varieties with the SRP have definable factor congruences and if the similarity type is finite, directly indecomposables are axiomatizable by a set of first-order sentences. We obtain such a set for semidegenerate varieties of connected po-groupoids and show its quantifier complexity is bounded in general

Francis and ''Gender Ideology'': Heritage, Displacement and Continuities

Gender ideology circulates as a conceptual apparatus to defend a morality and an identity beyond Catholicism, which permits several alliances with other sectors (religious and non-religious), since this ideology threatens the very cultural substrate upon which the social order is based. The political machinery built by the most conservative sectors within the Catholic arena has radicalized the resistance to sexual and reproductive rights since these are deemed as threats not only to a moral order but also to a social and cultural order. The resignation ofBenedict XVI, a key man in the construction of such machinery (first as prefect and then as Pope), together with the ?sexual scandals? which intensified during his papacy, generated questions about the future of the Catholic Church. Bergoglio?s assumption of power as Francis I has as one of its main challenges (and conundrums) the Vatican?s rigid positioning on sexual morality (far from believers themselves) and on sexual politics, constructed by his predecessors. This inheritance, at a moment of institutional crisis, opens a window of opportunity to disarm if not sexual morality itself, at least the political rigidity with which such morality is defended. The main purpose of this article is to considers both displacements and continuities of Francis I in relation the previous two Popes, taking into account the use of gender ideology as a political strategy.Fil: Vaggione, Juan Marco.

The conservative uses of law: The Catholic mobilization against gender ideology

The term ‘gender ideology’ has become a conceptual and political tool used by various religious and secular actors who defend a legal system embedded in a sexual universal morality. Although the use of the term began within the Catholic sphere, it currently characterizes the politics of different countries that are facing a wave of neoconservative activism. The article analyzes the expansion and uses of this term by considering two main aspects: first, an analysis of its emergence as a strategy by the Vatican to combat the impact of Sexual and Reproductive Rights (SRR) on Universal Human Rights; second, a presentation of the appropriations and uses of the fight against gender ideology as part of a neoconservative movement in Latin America.Fil: Vaggione, Juan Marco.

The politicization of sexuality and religious meanings

El artículo reflexiona sobre distintos sentidos de lo religioso que emergen en el debate por los derechos sexuales y reproductivos en América Latina. En la búsqueda de avanzar en sus agendas, los movimientos feministas y por la diversidad sexual, confrontan la influencia de las religiones, en particular de la Iglesia Católica, y ponen en circulación distintas estrategias de intervención pública. Considerando algunas estrategias privilegiadas por estos movimientos, se plantean en particular tres tipos de políticas: de laicización del estado, de desimbricación del derecho y de pluralización de lo religioso. Estas políticas vuelven legibles matrices de sentido que permiten, en conjunto, un acercamiento a las complejas formas de articulación entre sexualidades y religiones en la política sexual contemporánea.This paper reflects about the different meanings of the religious that emerge from the debate on sexual and reproductive rights in LatinAmerica. In seeking to advance their agendas, the feminist and sexual diversity movements confront the influence of religions, especially the Catholic Church, and put different public intervention strategies in circulation. In particular, considering some strategies privileged by these movements, three types of policies are proposed: laïcisation of the state, des-imbrication of Law and pluralization of the religious. These policies make legible matrices of meanings that allow bringing closer the complex forms of articulation among sexualities and religions in the contemporary sexual politics.Fil: Vaggione, Juan Marco.

Sexuality, Law, and Religion in Latin America: Frameworks in Tension

One challenge opened by contemporary sexual politics is to rethink the relations between religion and law in democratic contexts. The debate on the regulations of sexuality, reproduction or the family makes visible the complex interconnections between religious worldviews and the legal system. This article argues that in Latin America, secularization of law took the form of an imbrication process in which law traduces and conserves catholic sexual morality into secular regulations. Precisely, one challenge opened by contemporary sexual politics is to rethink the relations between religion and law in democratic contexts. The article offers an analysis of the ways in which stakeholders in conflict over sexual and reproductive rights in Latin America mobilize religion and the law to pursue their agendas. First, the article considers the main strategies implemented by the feminist and sexual diversity movements in order to overcome the power and influence of the Catholic Church on lawmaking processes. Although these movements tend to share an anti-clerical standpoint, they present a complex and dynamic construction of religion. Second, it presents different adaptions by Catholic sectors in defense of a natural sexual order. In their quest to influence state legal systems, these sectors deploy a dynamic and strategic understanding of religion and its impact upon public and legal debates. Building upon these considerations, the article contributes to the question of the complex articulations between religion and law in contemporary Latin America.Fil: Vaggione, Juan Marco.
