Since the Spanish colonization of Latin America at the end of the 15th century, indigenous people have been displaced from their lands in an extremely violent manner. Currently, people who belong to indigenous communities in Argentina are subject to prejudice and discrimination, because they are perceived as a threat to Argentine social identity. The aim of this article is to analyze theoretically, from a psycho-environmental perspective, those factors that influence the development of blatant and subtle prejudice towards indigenous people in Argentina. For this, the sense of place that indigenous people give to their lands and how it is related to the attachment that they have towards their territory will be considered. In addition, it is argued that these factors are fundamental for the construction of the social identity of indigenous people. Finally, it is proposed that designing and implementing intervention programs that include a psychoenvironmental perspective based on historical memory and promotion of social peace can help reduce prejudice and discrimination towards indigenous people.

Este ensayo se centra en las obras de creadores y creadoras escénicos españoles en activo que retoman en sus obras a intelectuales republicanas exiliadas en Argentina para reflexionar sobre las identidades de género, la construcción de estereotipos, el compromiso con el feminismo y la actividad profesional de las mujeres en el exilio. Los títulos estudiados han sido representados en España en las dos últimas décadas como medio para visibilizar la contribución de figuras tan señeras como María de la O Lejárraga, Clara Campoamor, María Teresa León, Rosa Chacel, Elena Fortún o Margarita Xirgu. Todos ellos reaccionan contra el silenciamiento del protagonismo femenino y reivindican la labor de las exiliadas con el ánimo de poner de relieve la importancia de la memoria histórica como herramienta con la que construir un futuro más igualitario.

This essay discusses the issue of the internationalization and regional integration of Higher Education from an exercise of historical memory in which the central components of the process that originated the 1918 Reform at the National University of Córdoba, Argentina, were rescued as a protagonist to the student movement of that house of studies and then extended to other Latin American universities. For that, they are approached: the political analysis of the processes of internationalization and contemporary regional university integration; the central elements that allow us to recover ideas of the University Reform of 1918 and its scope as a university movement on a Latin American scale and the analysis of that process carried out at the time by José Carlos Mariátegui, a Peruvian Marxist intellectual who supported these initiatives.

This paper deals with historical memory. It analyzes specifically the conditions for the creation of both a generational and national collective memory. Based on transnational research carried out in 2004 in Argentina and Switzerland for which men and women from five quinquennial groups were interviewed, this work focuses on the results for Argentina. The following questions guided the research on the historical content of memories: What is the building process of a generational historical memory like? Can we find a common, transgenerational memory that could be labeled as national? Can a national memory coexist with generational memories? Thus, the research goals are, on the one hand, to trace the contours of the historical dimension in collective memory and its generational differences. And second, to describe the ways in which personal biography, societal changes, and individual perception of facts coalesce. This research was based on two tenets: a generation's collective historical memory starts taking shaping during teenage and youth, and a generation's historical memory is a subjective process of memory building developed over the course of a lifetime.
