This paper standardizes Chilean salaries between 1886 and 1928 to a Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) format that allows comparison with salaries in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil during the same period. With this, it is possible to identify the level and trajectory of Chilean salaries vis-à-vis their counterparts in the Southern Cone of Latin America. In addition, it attempts to identify the impact that salary performance could have had on the most identifiable episodes of labor conflict, such as the constitution of Chile as a relatively attractive place for the immigration of European workers. The results show unequivocally that the economic growth of Chile until 1914 was not accompanied by the emergence of a favorable environment for Chilean workers or for the settlement of immigrant workers in relation to Uruguay, Argentina and even Brazil.

This article examines a case study about the debate and international controversy related to the birth of a zoological species, nowadays known under the synonym Arctophoca philippii (Peters 1866) and Arctocephalus philippii (Peters, 1866). With that goal the article studies the movement of the remains of a sea lion from Chile to Germany and the debate that arose about its taxonomic definition. This paper argues that the material properties of the mobilized specimen, the circumstances of its hunting, its transfer and protection between museums, as well as the material possibilities of its comparison and analysis, influenced the international debates regarding its classification among naturalists in England, Germany, Chile and Argentina.

This article investigates different forms of registry of the Mapuche concept in both Chile and Argentina after indigenous territories of Araucania and Patagonia were conquered, by late XIX century. A hypothesis is suggested concerning a difference in this registry, based on what was -within these contexts- the destination of Mapuche bodies on the one hand and of papers and documents created and accumulated by these populations before being included into both Sates sovereignties, on the other. We can see that in Argentina, bodies museographical inscription was privileged and, at the same time there was a document archives inscription which made Mapuche an historiographical and anthropological past element and lacking political validity at present. While in Chile, there is a population inscription of Mapuche bodies related to a kind of mestizo and state ideology through which the Mapuche concept got a kind of racial validity. This is how the idea of "reducto" arose as a category through which ambivalences from both types of inscription are analyzed so that the Mapuche concept has worked as a patrimonial capital of national sovereignty (associated to identity and autochthonousness) or, on the contrary as just the rest of a life or indigenous culture that persists and is managed in the political and historical limits of this same national sovereignty.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between the introduction of neo-liberal reforms and the collective answers of urban popular sectors in Chile and Argentina. For one hand, it focuses on key aspects of the neo-liberal transformations, in particular those who operated on the State's sphere and in the labor context. For the other hand, the social expressions elaborated by subordinate sectors in terms of social inequality outcomes generated by the new model are presented. This article introduces a comparative perspective between Argentina and Chile, which show a remarkable practice of the afore mentioned reforms. In this sense, our proposal is to establish some coincidences in matters of the changes within the secondary sociability in both countries in order to analyze the differences in the construction of collective responses made by the popular sectors.

In 1981 Chile began a wave of privatization and market-friendly reforms of social security systems in Latin America; Argentina did the same in 1993. In 2008, Chile and Argentina reformed their pension systems again. Chile maintains the private capitalization system complemented with a basic pension and solidarity payments while Argentina eliminated the capitalization pillar and replaced it by a single integrated delivery system publicly administered. This paper analyzes the policy reforms of pension systems as a result of the comparison between countries, as well as between market and state led reforms and state led reforms: Chile (1981 and 2008) and Argentina (1993 and 2008).

Argentina has one of the highest standards of support for democracy in Latin America despite the economic crises of recent decades. Chile, despite being one of the most economically successful countries in the region, has a poor support for democracy. This article presents a comparison of ordered logistic regression analysis of the year 1997 with the year 2001. In addition, such models are complemented with respect to the political culture in both countries. Economic stability, income distribution, interpersonal trust, interest in politics and civic education are more significant factors in the Argentinean than in the Chilean case. There is a strong polarization between the political orientation of left and right in Chile with regard to the support of democracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
