This text constitutes the introduction to the monograph 152 of Revista Chasqui, which invites to discuss the imposition of a civilizational model based on the universalization of a particular vision, the Nordic ethos, and that has led to the subalternization and racialization of human relations, knowledge and subjectivities in colonized worlds. The circulation of the written word is considered as an exercise to (re)think Communication, its genealogy, its colonial difference, its critical aspects, its theoretical debates, its tensions and its main categories of analysis to continue tracing future trajectories that translate into a universal thought located, own, around communication, the result of the different polyphonies, subjectivities and experiences in Latin America.

The approaches that study research collaboration dynamics with a binary: "North - South" and "Center - Periphery" tend not to recognize the arbitrariness of the international scientific system and those analyzes reduce the impact of how research groups from the Global South actually perform research collaborations. Our work aims to respond and discuss: With whom do researchers in International Relations (RI) of Mercosur collaborate? What are the objectives of these associations? Are agendas imposed from the North? What are the main motivations and interests of the agents for scientific collaboration? For this, we recover contributions from the field of social studies of science and propose an exploratory analysis of a multiple case study of Mercosur research groups focused on the researcher's point of view in order to revisit the agents' perspective. The work will have two dimensions: an analysis based on bibliometric information of the productions of local researchers in scopus and wos and another that inquires about the process of meaningfulness of these groups regarding the questions raised through interviews and focus groups to research groups of the field of International Relations of Mercosur.

Objective/Context: This article analyzes gender as a conceptual category that served as the basis for the work of the Argentinian magazine Sur, directed by Victoria Ocampo. The objective is to rebuild the ideals of its protagonist from specific figures who were vital in the construction of modern, feminine models. Methodology: The research analyzes archived documents and an extensive bibliography that allows understanding the ideals that guided the specific processes that would serve as the basis for Victoria Ocampo's literary strategies. Originality: This work shows that gender can be expressed in multiple registers, as a function of feminine presences that acquire the condition of models. Conclusions: The article proposes an extraliterary interpretation of selected feminine presences around whom the issue of gender is problematized, which is conceived here as a critical sensibility that induces devising certain strategies whereby functional models are selected and proposed for the construction of a local feminine identity.

In this article, I analyze the projection and future perspective of the BRICS (and IBSA) as a South-South cooperation group. To this end, I seek to identify their convergences and structural conflicts, att ending to both domestic and systemic factors. Special emphasis will be placed on the impact of the nature of political systems. The main structural challenges and weaknesses of the BRICS, which are identified and analyzed in the article, are: political systems of different nature; difference of weight or influence in the international board; internal rivalries; growing difficulty in using the category of South-South cooperation as a legitimating discursive mechanism; commercial divergences; dissonance in environmental matt ers; and, finally, dissimilar nuclear status.

We analyze the credit channel effects on new residential property prices in Medellin, Colombia, using a simultaneous equations model. Our empirical results show that the main determinants of new residential properties prices are mortgage interest rates and the availability of government sponsored subsidies to homebuyers (GS). An increase of one percent in mortgage interest rates reduces the demand of new residential properties and increases their price by COP $46,865 per square meter. Greater availability of government of GS increases the demand for new residential properties. Using a structural VAR, we find that a positive shock to a proxy for the real interest rate (unit of real value, URV) of one standard deviation leads to a reduction of the price of new residential properties in Medellin.

Through the comparison of the magazine Mito with other literary magazines, including the Argentinean Sur, the French Les Temps Modernes and the Revista Mexicana de Literatura, it is possible to draw up a system of ideological, literary and publishing relations and confrontations present in the thought of writers such as Jorge Luis Borges, Jean-Paul Sartre and Octavio Paz. This system is drawn in order to analyse the complex profile of the Latin American intellectual and its main characteristics, embodied by Jorge Gaitán Durán and present in the editorials he wrote for the Colombian magazine.

Estas conversaciones de mujeres de distintas generaciones, una argentina y otra uruguaya, se inscriben en la etapa de las dictaduras del Cono Sur y la escena central, por primera vez, tiene como protagonistas a las Madres de Plaza de Mayo. Se trata de la novela Conversación al sur, de Marta Traba, que aparece en 1981, en México, dos años antes de la vuelta a la democracia en Argentina (1983) y cuatro antes de la vuelta a la democracia en Uruguay (1985).

When reading La espada encendida, attention focuses on the grandeur of the inner world described in the fable. The physical territory is none other than the vast Chilean Patagonia, which is related to the biblical Garden of Adam and Eve. Instead of concentrating on the physical space, emphasis is given to the poetic sense that Neruda attempted to give to this region. In doing so, we could better explain why the poet chose this remote and wild area, perhaps as a starting point to formulate a new world development that deviates from the Christian paradigm of the world's foundation.

It is an irreversible fact that the Eurocentric logos has imploded on its own sources of political and economic development. The danger of this crisis is total because it includes its hegemony as well as humanity and nature. What alternatives do we haveto overcome this end of a millennium and its catastrophe? It is evident that we are experiencing the "latter days" or the "turn of a century philosophy" of modernity that appears, on the other hand, able to be surpassed by the viewpoint of another historical-cultural episteme that recognizes the eco-systemic relationship of man together with the existential diversity of the living beings that populate this planet. This other epistemology has its genesis in Critical Theory and it is recreated in Latin America from the South, one assumes from the praxis of an emancipating logos that fractures the hegemonic limits of "endless capitalism" and "endless colonialism," since it makes it possible, from the "sociology of emergences," to recover the presence of thousand-year-old peoples that have achieved recreation of their habitat through a direct symbiotic relationshipwith the cycles or generating processes of Mother Earth (Pachamama). The ancestral wisdom carried in the thought of these original peoples, expressed by their traditions, rites, magic, even their anthropomorphic representations of reality, are symptoms that the twilight of civilization does not extinguish itselfin the West, but is reborn from the South with the "SumakKawsay."

This essay examines, for the first time, the existence of a neobaroque phase within the New Latin American Cinema, starting from a definition of baroque and neobaroque that writers like Lezama Lima and Severo Sarduy elaborated in order to theorize Latin American literature and culture, and complemented by a further theorization of the differences between the neobaroque in the metropolis and the periphery. The analyzed films include Terra em Transe (Land in Anguish, Glauber Rocha, Brazil, 1967), Macunaíma (Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, Brazil, 1969), Org (Fernando Birri, Italy, 1978), Frida, naturaleza viva (Paul Leduc, Mexico, 1985), Sur (Fernando Solanas, Argentina, 1988) and La nación clandestina (Jorge Sanjinés, Bolivia, 1989).

The photo galleries in four Spanish digital journals --El mundo, La vanguardia, Sur and La voz de Galiciawere analysed in January 2010. A model was designed with indicators to examine the topics, configuration and informative value of the galleries. The study included the quantitative importance of the galleries, their increasing specialization and heterogeneous design, access and functionality. The conclusions are: the galleries are abundant, have good visibility and present a great variety of themes. The lack of standardized labeling of links, redundant access and little magnification of the images are significant drawbacks. There should be more informative contextualization of the photos, enhancing the hypertext linkage between the galleries and information pages to which they refer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complexity and water issues and their possible solution, has been restricted to technical and scientific analysis, reducing the problem to health reasons and public health, pollution and infrastructure. Consequently this vision has usually been alien to the socioenvironmental interpretation, or to search for solutions to conflicts that access and use of water often triggered in social groups, ignoring the potential that a complex analysis of the relationship society - Nature can throw for the understanding such acute problem and the approach of possible solutions. The aim of this brief is to contribute to this general purpose, to link historical research in analysis and solution of environmental conflicts, bringing a rich literature on the subject, relatively unexplored in the history of water in Bogota. To this end, some will be discussed working on a river Tunjuelo, a water source and importance in the development of urban space in the city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article meditates on the role played by universities in countries on the north and south. It affirms that nowadays--period during which the relationship with technology has become closer--universities (mostly in the south) have lost the possibility of designing their own research agendas. The author advocates the creation of universities that, in developing contexts, play the role of change agents in the relations between technology and society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
