White-Race Subjectivity Was Produced Throughout Time by a Set of Historical Practices A LINE IN THE SAND RACE, PURITY AND COMFORT IN ARGENTINE GATED COMMUNITIES By Ricardo Greene A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology Goldsmiths College University of London 20 20 DECLARATION I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of Goldsmiths College is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the prior written consent of the author. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. 1 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on a gated community in contemporary Argentina, paying attention to the lifestyles, rhythms and practices of their actors. Since 1990 gated urban complexes have emerged on the outskirts of Argentine cities, radically modifying established forms of land occupation, and constituting one of the most significant territorial processes of the past decades. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Nordelta, Argentina’s largest and most self-sufficient of these compounds, this research proposes that gated communities cannot be solely explained as the result of spatial fragmentation due to class difference, or as a consequence of neoliberal processes of privatization and deregulation. Rather, it suggests they are above all the latest iteration of particular class and racial relationships already deeply embedded in the fabric of Argentine society. At the same time, in contrast to representations of these complexes as secluded, isolated and indifferent to their surroundings, the data generated through ethnographic research illustrate Nordelta’s creative, productive and blurred borders, that are crossed on a daily basis by thousands of people, objects, languages and information. Their circulation is internally perceived as a threat to its purity and sovereignty, and to the project which gave rise to it. Consequently, a series of power mechanisms and technologies are deployed to reject, transform and/or normalise foreign bodies and all that is associated with them. Lastly, the thesis proposes that gated communities are primarily motivated and guided by a particular discourse of truth, based on an ethics of comfort, which entails forms of conduct and self-discipline that seek to avoid stressful and potentially dangerous experiences, such as those arising from inter-class encounters. At the same time, a shared ethos promotes practices that are construed as positive steps towards well-being in relation to the individual, and to the private and domestic spheres (family, body, mind and soul). 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 Abstract 4 Table of contents 6 List of Figures 8 Acronyms 9 Key Spanish words 12 Acknowledgments 1 14 INTRODUCTION 20 Case Study: Nordelta 27 Methods report 40 Key concepts 51 Thesis outline 2 55 ARGENTINE NATION-BUILDING PROCESS: RACE, POWER AND IDENTITY 58 Forging the country: How nationhood was produced 73 The city and the desert, civilisation and barbarism 78 Territorial transformations of the Buenos Aires Province 93 2001: The year Buenos Aires was occupied 3 102 THE CONQUEST OF THE SUBURBS 103 The new desert 114 A place of their own 127 To exclude and protect 140 Outsiders: A looming menace 145 Concluding remarks 3 4 147 TRACING A LINE IN THE SAND 148 Fence me in 169 One gate to rule them all 184 Private justice 200 Concluding remarks: The Bogado case 5 202 PURIFICATION AT THE PEARLY GATES 203 At the bus stop 231 At the gates 245 Concluding remarks 6 246 MANUFACTURING NORDELTEÑOS: FORMAL MECHANISMS 252 The book of rules 262 Spatial design: a calculated dissymmetry 268 Concluding remarks 7 270 MANUFACTURING NORDELTEÑOS: INFORMAL MECHANISMS 276 Identity building 289 Peer pressure 297 Of Stowaways 301 Concluding remarks 306 CONCLUSIONS THE WILL TO ENJOY: A NEW ETHIC OF COMFORT 311 Appendix 1 314 Bibliography 4 LIST OF FIGURES Fig. 1.1.

  • Argentina's 2015 Presidential Election
    CRS INSIGHT Argentina's 2015 Presidential Election October 26, 2015 (IN10378) | Related Author Mark P. Sullivan | Mark P. Sullivan, Specialist in Latin American Affairs ([email protected], 7-7689) Argentines went to the polls on October 25, 2015, to vote in the first round of a presidential race to succeed President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who hails from the Peronist party's leftist faction known as the Front of Victory (FPV). The close results set up a second round on November 22, 2015, between Daniel Scioli, governor of Buenos Aires province running under the banner of President Fernández's FPV, and Mauricio Macri, mayor of Buenos Aires, heading the Let's Change coalition that includes center-right and center-left opposition parties. In the first round, with 97% of the votes counted, Scioli received 36.86% of the vote, Macri received 34.33%, and Sergio Massa, a deputy in Argentina's Congress who heads a centrist dissident Peronist faction known as United for a New Alternative (UNA), received 21.34%. A second round is required since no candidate received 45% of the vote or 40% of the vote with a 10- point lead. The contest is significant since it is the first time in 12 years that a Kirchner will not be president. Fernández is serving her second term since 2007, when she succeeded her husband, the late Néstor Kirchner, who served one term beginning in 2003. Fernández is ineligible to run for a third consecutive term, although she would be eligible to run again in 2019. Going into the first round, many observers believed that any of the leading candidates for president would espouse more market-friendly policies than those of the current government, which include currency and price controls and import restrictions.

(This exhibition will not travel. Loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late summer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits; This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration v\n.th the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. History of the exhibition; The suggestion that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art was made by the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery, responded with the idea of an exhibition on the British Country House as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust.

Across the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s, a wide range of popular crime fiction was translated, written, theorized, printed and reprinted in Argentina, and these popular genres grew steadily in readership, visibility, and cultural legitimacy. These genres were largely dismissed as insipid forms of mass-culture entertainment by contemporary criticism, however, and their relevance has been downplayed by literary history to this day. My study of the novels of these influential authors restores this context in order to highlight their appropriations from these undervalued narrative traditions, in which they found incipient forms of social critique and unique modes of representing history and the social order.
