The legal configuration of kinship ties in immigration law is governed by a restrictive logic that combines a dependent and nuclear composition with mismatches in the concrete form of managing the distances, the dynamics and the times at origin and destination. The family model in immigration law has an ideal and dominant approach openly excluding other family realities in the social context. Law in an inherent tendency towards the ideal doesn't allow a legitimate choice between autonomy and individual freedom in order to define or not the family project and own relationships. In this paper I discuss from a critical approach the inconsistencies presented by the current Spanish immigration law to restructure households in the family reunification scheme because of Law doesn't secure a suitable degree of equality and justice.

As a process of socialization where individuals gain cultural and behavioral awareness, and a means of training the generations according to the canons established by culture, education is of vital importance to any society that aspires to train members able to maintain and develop it. But this would not be possible without pedagogical models to support it. How and from what principles, postures and theoretical/methodological positions do those who practice the pedagogical-training task assume the educational process? Starting from this question, this paper seeks a reflection about cognitive, procedural, philosophical, political and social-historical factors that in some way have idealized pedagogical models.

At the end of the nineteenth century, a process of modernization and development took place in Argentina, within the frame of the nation-state consolidation. In this context, the country witnessed a discursive profusion that expected to introduce disciplinary instruments into society, among which the creation of a modern maternal ideal can be mentioned. This paper analyzes the main topics of such discourses, through one the main media available to spread them in rural central and southern Buenos Aires in our period: the local press.
