Yo Saludo: Transformando Colombia Un Saludo a La Vez
YO SALUDO: TRANSFORMANDO COLOMBIA UN SALUDO A LA VEZ PRESENTADO POR: JUAN SEBASTIÁN MARTÍNEZ GÁLVEZ JAVIER RICARDO GRANADOS ROMERO NICOLÁS NAVAS GÓMEZ TRABAJO DE GRADO PARA OPTAR POR EL TÍTULO DE: COMUNICADOR SOCIAL CON ÉNFASIS EN PUBLICIDAD DIRECTORA: PATRICIA CECILIA BERNAL MAZ PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDAD JAVERIANA FACULTAD DE COMUNICACIÓN Y LENGUAJE COMUNICACIÓN SOCIAL BOGOTÁ 2015 II. INFORMACIÓN BÁSICA A. Problema 1. ¿Cuál es el problema? ¿Qué aspecto de la realidad considera que merece investigarse? Las personas, específicamente aquellas que viven en la ciudad, son diariamente expuestas a la congestión de la movilización, la inseguridad de las calles, los extensos horarios de trabajo y estudio, el irrespeto por las mujeres, la contaminación visual y auditiva, etc. Esto genera y promueve un ambiente de intolerancia, donde las personas pierden la sensibilidad de la convivencia colectiva. La intolerancia puede manifestarse como una violencia simbólica que puede tornarse física, comprometiendo así la pasividad del ciudadano. Entonces, ¿una acción tan simple como el saludo, podría apaciguar la intolerancia de la ciudad e incluso transformarse en una herramienta de construcción paz? 2. ¿Por qué es importante investigar ese problema? La paz cotidiana es vital para la construcción de un mundo mejor. Las bases de la construcción deben ser las relaciones entre las personas, que, a pesar de las diferencias socioeconómicas, culturales y generacionales, puedan reconocerse como seres humanos mediante una acción tan simple como el saludo. Es importante trabajar en la paz del diario vivir y de la gente común en vez de depender de los actores políticos y sus acuerdos que conciben la paz como un negocio. -

The Prehistoric Civilizations of Nuclear America GORDON R
The Prehistoric Civilizations of Nuclear America GORDON R. WILLEY H mwd University INTRODUCTION HE native agricultural civilizations of the New World had their begin- Tnings and their highest development in those areas that have been sub- sumed under the term “Nuclear America” (Kroeber 1948: 779). The desig- nation has both a geographical and a cultural connotation. The areas involved embrace central and southern Mexico, Central America, the north Andes, and Peru. This is the axis of aboriginal high culture in the Americas and, as such, the major center of prehistoric diffusion for the western hemisphere. To the best of our knowledge, it stands clearly apart and essentially independent from the comparable culture core of the Old World. Kroeber (1948: 784-85; 1952:377-95) has suggested the analogy between the American civilizational nucleus of Mexico-Peru and the “Oikoumene” of the Old World. Readapting the old Greek concept of the “inhabited” or civil- ized world (Kroeber 1952:379 and 392), he has defined the Oikoumene for purposes of culture-historical analysis as (‘ . the millennially interrelated higher civilizations in the connected mainland masses of the Eastern hemi- sphere,” and “as ’a great web of culture growth, areally extensive and rich in content.” It is, in effect, a vast diffusion sphere (see Hawkes 1954) interlinked across continents by common cultural content. The comparison with Nuclear America seems particularly apt. In both cases the great historic nexuses have considerable time depth at their centers, and in both they have influenced those cultures marginal to them at relatively later points on the time scale. -
Gold and Power in Ancient Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia
This is an extract from: Gold and Power in Ancient Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia Jeffrey Quilter and John W. Hoopes, Editors published by Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection Washington, D.C. © 2003 Dumbarton Oaks Trustees for Harvard University Washington, D.C. Printed in the United States of America www.doaks.org/etexts.html The Political Economy of Pre-Colombian Goldwork: Four Examples from Northern South America Carl Henrik Langebaek Universidad de los Andes Introduction: The Problem ome twenty years ago, Alicia Dussán de Reichel (1979: 41) complained that studies that “set out to place the prehistoric metallurgy of Colombia within a wider context Sof cultural development” were not very numerous. Despite a great deal of research on Pre-Columbian goldwork since, the same observation remains true today. One source of frustration comes from the fact that most archaeologists focus on the study of metallurgy as a goal in itself. Although researchers have produced detailed descriptions about the techno- logical characteristics of Pre-Columbian goldwork (Scott 1981), timelines, definitions of “styles” and “traditions,” as well as correlations among styles across Colombia, Lower Central America, and Ecuador (Bray 1981; 1992a; 1997; Plazas and Falchetti 1983), and identifica- tions of plant and animal species represented in ornaments (Legast 1987), they have rarely placed goldwork within a social context (Looper 1996) or incorporated it in models related to social change. Whatever improvement in the research on Pre-Columbian metal objects there has been, further progress will be limited if it is not aimed at understanding the way societies function and change (Lechtman 1984). -

Indigenous populations inhabited most of these regions, and by the late-nineteenth century the Latin American states started to target them in an effort to secure national borders and consolidate territorial control. With only a few exceptions, states turned to international Christian missionary orders to help them in the “civilization” of these indigenous areas, and by the first decade of the twentieth century the missionaries were active in many of them, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. -
