We present a web site of a database that allows the consultation of over 32,000 images related to the native vegetation and flora of Argentina. The images illustrate habitat, habit and morphological details of over 2,250 species, and it relates 8,000 common names with 4,187 scientific names of the Argentina flora. Most of the images are related to reference specimens deposited in the Herbarium "Arturo E. Ragonese" (SF). The database allows various search criteria: by scientific name, common name and ecoregion, among others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Through this contribution we intend to develop a case study that challenges the field of serial audiovisual productions in Argentina in 2010. We will relate the audiovisual device that gives rise to practices of freedom as well as shifts of subjectivities through the visibility of practices of difference. The documentary series Nosotros, campesinos (El calefón cine, 2010), invites us to reflect on the role played by subjectivities and their agency in the distribution of otherness positions.

Urban planning is an hegemonic discourse in the process of production, reproduction and institutionalization of images of the city and its spatiality. In this article we are interested in establishing the way these discursive artifacts define public space, the way they represent its patterns, how do they imagine their addressees and which expectations rest on coastal areas of the city. The methodological approach combines the analysis of urban imageries through specific practices promoted over the city area along with a discursive analysis on prevailing signifiers at the documentary corpus which make evident the changes in strategic and urban planning in Rosario (Argentina).

Every society creates a specific conception of nature and assigns in every historical period different degrees of acceptability and dangerousness to each impact. Since the decade of the nineties onwards, Argentina has witnessed the emergence of a series of environmental demonstrations that reject and seek to avoid the setting up of certain production processes. Our hypothesis is that images have played a key role in this process, and have become means to call people's attention regarding the impact of society on nature, at the same time facilitating understanding and coverage at a national scale. From a cultural perspective, we hereby explore the production of images and insights that, related to environmental issues, circulate through the subject of Geography at school. The corpus consists of a set of Geography textbooks published since the mid-nineties to the present. Analysis of the documents and of the visual content of the selected images is carried out in relation to the narrative text in which they are inserted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ceferino Namuncurá, who was beatified by the Catholic Church, is one of the most popular national saints. His indigenous origin and his studies to be a Salesian were decisive in his biography according to different historical models: the holy child, like children saints of Europe, the "santito criollo" like a national model, or the "holy Mapuche", the new model of holiness. We will analyze the images and biographies of Ceferino Namuncurá along the 20th and 21st century, to study the tension generated between aboriginality and holiness in this particular construction. In this way we intend to support the construction of discourse analysis with the iconographic analysis applied on drawings, photographs and paintings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents an analysis of an educational experience called Constructing Images for Inclusion and Identity. This Project was aimed at providing technical and conceptual tools for the use of audiovisual language to youth living at different geographical points of the Argentinean Republic (Jujuy, Chubut and Buenos Aires). It was expected that youth participating of this experience would explore issues related to their human and civil rights. This Project is part of a larger Program, oriented towards reflecting and acting upon the construction of autonomous lives. The youngsters who participated in the Project share some common ideas and deal with similar problematic issues, even though they live in very different parts of the country. The Project was conducted from March, 2007 until March, 2008. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
