The Desert in María Teresa Andruetto: a Literal and Figurative Space
THE DESERT IN MARÍA TERESA ANDRUETTO: A LITERAL AND FIGURATIVE SPACE Thomas N. Phillips II A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Studies (Spanish) in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: Alicia Rivero María DeGuzmán Oswaldo Estrada Juan Carlos González Espitia Rosa Perelmuter © 2021 Thomas N. Phillips II ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Thomas N. Phillips II: The Desert in María Teresa Andruetto: A Literal and Figurative Space (Under the direction of Alicia Rivero) The desert serves as a crucible for processing and creating truth in the novels, novellas, and short stories by Argentine writer María Teresa Andruetto (b. 1954). Simultaneously a literal and figurative space, the desert embodies Argentine history and economic development with particular focus on the northwest and Patagonia. Response to political turmoil and the introspective search for identity and family coalesce as we view protagonists encountering frontiers; coupled with alterity, gender, and language, this results in a new amalgamation that is a retelling of Esteban Echeverría’s “La cautiva.” The first chapter of this dissertation analyzes spaces as both literal and figurative oases, the interior as a microcosm of Argentina, and movement within the desert related to border crossing. The second chapter presents a macro-level view of geopolitics that focuses on an alternative reading of history in the desert, and the veracity of claims and truth are under a microscope in a manner that questions the official discourse of the Dirty War, as well as the creation of a national mythos. -
The Challenges of Women's Participation In
International IDEA, 2002, Women in Parliament, Stockholm (http://www.idea.int). This is an English translation of Elisa María Carrio, “Los retos de la participacíon de las mujeres en el Parlamento. Una nueva Mirada al caso argentine,” in International IDEA Mujeres en el Parlamento. Más allá de los números, Stockholm, Sweden, 2002. (This translation may vary slightly from the original text. If there are discrepancies in the meaning, the original Spanish version is the definitive text). CASE STUDY The Challenges of Women’s Participation in the Legislature: A New Look at Argentina ELISA MARÍA CARRIO In Argentina, mass-based political parties included a degree of the participation of women going back to their early days, from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, but it was only in the 1980s that we saw the massive emergence of women in party politics. This led to changes in attitude in the search for points of agreement and common objectives. Many women understood that the struggle against women’s oppression should not be subordinated to other struggles, as it was actually compatible with them, and should be waged simultaneously. It was an historic opportunity, as Argentina was emerging from a lengthy dictatorship in which women had the precedent of the mobilizations of the grandmothers and mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, in their white scarves. While women in Argentina have had the right to “vote and be elected” since 1947, women’s systematic exclusion from the real spheres of public power posed one of the most crucial challenges to, and criticisms of, Argentina’s democracy. -

Italian Immigration to Argentina 1880-1914: Assimilation Or Rejection of Argentine Society?
Italian Immigration to Argentina 1880-1914: Assimilation or Rejection of Argentine Society? Dorna Zaboli Abstract: This paper explores the national landscape of Argentina from 1880-1914 as a means to analyze the Italian immigration experience. The central question which is posed is whether the internal factors within Argentina enabled Italian newcomers to successfully assimilate within society. A multilayered approach is utilized to examine Argentina’s immigration policy, constitution, economy, social institutions, and cultural norms. Through this analysis, it is concluded that the internal dynamics of Argentina provided Italian immigrants the capacity, resources and space to thrive which fundamentally led to their assimilation within their host country. Résumé : Cette dissertation explore la composition nationale de l’Argentine des années 1880 à 1914 afin d’analyser l’expérience des immigrants italiens. La question centrale porte sur les facteurs internes de la société argentine ayant permis une assimilation réussie des Italiens nouvellement arrivés. Une approche multidimensionnelle est utilisée afin d’examiner l’immigration, la politique, la constitution, l’économie, les institutions sociales et les normes culturelles de l’Argentine. Cette analyse permet de conclure que la dynamique interne argentine a fournis aux immigrants italiens les facultés, les ressources et l’espace nécessaires à leur épanouissement, ce qui, au fond, a mené à leur assimilation à cette terre d’accueil. 2 The year of 1870 marked the unification of the Kingdom of Italy. Rome was established as the official capital of the various amalgamated provinces along the Italian peninsula.1 As a result of the unification, the different internal dilemmas within each province were propelled to the forefront of the newly elected Prime Minister, Giovanni Lanza’s agenda. -

Comparison of the Constitutional Basis of the United States and Argentine Political Systems
COMPARISON OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL BASIS OF THE UNITED STATES AND ARGENTINE POLITICAL SYSTEMS By SEGUNDO V. LINARES QUINTANA t While the following article was in the process of publication, a Constitutional Convention of 169 members adopted a new Constitu- tion for the Argentine Republic; however, the significant changes effected by this new Constitution indicate that the problems raised herein are still germane. This new Constitution is made up of 103 Articles and one Tem- porary Article, as compared with the 110 Articles of the old Consti- tution. It shows a decided tendency to recognize the advancement of the social and economic rights of all the people, as indicated by the Articles concerning the rights of workmen and the family, of educa- tion and culture for all, and the determination of the social functions of property. Among the most significant changes are the provisions permitting the re-election of the President and Vice-President for more than one term of six years, and for the election of Senators and Depu- ties for terms of six years. Another major innovation of particular interest is the provision extending Argentine citizenship automatically to all foreigners who have resided in Argentina five years unless the foreigner signifies in writing his intention not to become a citizen. The whole spirit of this new Constitution is presumably expressed in the amendment to the Preamble, which adds, after setting forth the purposes of "confirming justice, consolidating domestic peace, pro- viding for the common defense, promoting the general welfare . .," the language: ". ratifying the inexorable decision to constitute a nation, socially just, economically free and politically sover- eign. -
