As a local organizing committee, it would be an honor for us to be in charge of both events. As members of the Transport Engineering Division at Universidad de Chile, we have participated in several previous Kuhmo-Nectar Conferences and strongly believe that crossing the Equator and moving the 2016 edition of the ITEA Annual Conference and School to South America presents itself as a matchless opportunity to disseminate, in this part of the world, the state-of-the art in transport economics research and lecturing, which is characteristic of this combined one-week event. Moreover, we believe that Chile, and in particular Universidad de Chile are the best country and insititution to host the event, for the first time, outside North America or Europe, given the number of transport economists doing academic research and the resources we have at our disposal. Interestingly, in our country we have the rather unusual case that a Professor that has done high quality research in transport economics, Associate Professor Andrés Gómez-Lobo, is currently the Minister of Transport. Andrés has agreed to give a plenary talk at the conference to share his experience leading the transport ministry, should the scientific committee find this as interesting as we do. We propose the conference to be held at the Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (FCFM) of Universidad de Chile (www.fcfm.cl), to which our Transport Engineering group belongs. Our faculty has all the necessary facilities to successfully run both the Conference and the School, from top notch infrastructure and technology to highly qualified human resources. The conference will be co-organized by Instituto Sistemas Complejos de Ingeniería (www.isci.cl), a research institute to which all faculty at the Transport Engineering Division belongs. FCFM facilities are at walking distance of Santiago´s city center and we are well connected to the rest of the city by frequent bus and Metro services. Conference attendees will have easy access to discover what our city has to offer in terms of historical and cultural heritage, gastronomical and touristic attractions. Complementing the academic program, we will develop an attractive social program for the attendees to get a glimpse of Chilean gastronomy and culture, as well as providing the opportunity to visit Santiago´s surroundings, featuring scenic vineries and sky resorts along the Andes Range. Thank you very much for considering our bid to host the 2016 Annual Conference and Summer School of the International Transportation Economics Association. Yours sincerely, Leonardo J.

    Welcome Travel has been my life for 20 years. St Augustine’s famous quote remains as true to me today as it was when I first set up 2by2 Holidays – “the world is a book and those who do not travel, read only one page”. My first love was Africa, the place of my birth. Its remarkable wildlife and cultures continue to captivate me today. A recent visit to the gorillas of Uganda has starkly reminded me just how fragile the survival of so many endangered species remains. And reinforced my belief that travel must always have conservation at its heart. In recent years I have discovered the joys of travel in the Indian subcontinent and Latin America. The iconic sites and cultures here are no less enthralling. And everywhere wildlife adapts and survives, from harsh barren deserts to cool mountain cloud forests and tropical wetlands. My enthusiasm burns as brightly as ever and I continue to be as involved in every aspect of the business as I always have been, backed up by our superb travel team. I’m particularly thrilled that so many of our customers return time after time. I do hope you find our latest brochure inspiring and we all look forward to hearing from you.

    1 José Perotti Ronzzoni José Perotti Ronzzoni José Perotti Ronzzoni nació el 8 de Junio de 1898 en Santiago, Chile y murió el 22 de junio de 1956 en la misma ciudad. Biografía José Luis Perotti Ronzzoni nació el 8 de junio de 1898 en Santiago, Chile. Desarrolló tempranamente sus habilidades en dibujo y el interés por el trabajo manual, en la escuela primaria. Esto le permitió ingresar en 1913 como alumno libre al taller de fundición de la Escuela de Bellas Artes. Posteriormente, en 1917, se incorpora formalmente y se integra al curso de escultura a cargo de Virginio Arias . En 1920 viaja a España para integrarse a la Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, en Madrid, gracias a la obtención de una beca otorgada por el Estado chileno para estudiar en Europa. Allí tuvo como profesores a Miguel Blay (1866-1936) en escultura, a Joaquín Sorolla (1863-1923) en pintura y a Julio Romero de Torres (1874-1930) en dibujo de ropaje. En 1921 se trasladó a París, donde estudió en la Academia de la Grande Chaumière con el escultor Antoine Bourdelle (1861-1929) y asistió, junto a Camilo Mori , a los cursos libres y vespertinos de dibujo de la Academia Colarossi. Al regresar a Chile, en 1923 fundó junto a Luis Vargas Rosas , Henriette Petit y Julio Ortiz de Zárate el Grupo Montparnasse , el cual realiza ese mismo año su primera exposición, en Santiago. Esta muestra se considera como el acontecimiento que señala la introducción en el medio local de los lenguajes artísticos modernos y de los movimientos de vanguardia parisinos de la época.

    Violeta Parra, Después De Vivir Un Siglo

    En el documental Violeta más viva que nunca, el poeta Gonzalo Rojas llama a Violeta la estrella mayor de Chile, lo más grande, la síntesis perfecta. Esta elocuente descripción habla del sitial privilegiado que en la actualidad, por fin, ocupa Violeta Parra en nuestro país, después de muchos años injustos en los que su obra fue reconocida en el extranjero y prácticamente ignorada en Chile. Hoy, reconocemos a Violeta como la creadora que hizo de lo popular una expre- sión vanguardista, llena de potencia e identidad, pero también como un talento universal, singular y, quizás, irrepetible. Violeta fue una mujer que logró articular en su arte corrientes divergentes, obligándonos a tomar conciencia sobre la diversidad territorial y cultural del país que, además de valorar sus saberes originarios, emplea sus recursos para pavimentar un camino hacia la comprensión y valoración de lo otro. Para ello, tendió un puente entre lo campesino y lo urbano, asumiendo las antiguas tradi- ciones instaladas en el mundo campesino, pero también, haciendo fluir y trans- formando un patrimonio cultural en diálogo con una conciencia crítica. Además, construyó un puente con el futuro, con las generaciones posteriores a ella, y también las actuales, que reconocen en Violeta Parra el canto valiente e irreve- rente que los conecta con su palabra, sus composiciones y su música. Pero Violeta no se limitó a narrar costumbres y comunicar una filosofía, sino que también se preocupó de exponer, reflexionar y debatir sobre la situación política y social de la época que le tocó vivir, desarrollando una conciencia crítica, fruto de su profundo compromiso social.

    Las cuecas como representaciones estético-políticas de chilenidad… / Revista Musical Chilena Las cuecas como representaciones estético-políticas de chilenidad en Santiago entre 1979 y 1989 The Cuecas as Aesthetic and Political Representation of Chilenidad in Santiago Between 1979 and 1989 por Araucaria Rojas Sotoconil Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile [email protected] El siguiente texto pretende dar cuenta de los lugares por los que se desplazaron las cuecas como repre- sentaciones estético-políticas de chilenidad durante el período de la dictadura militar, más específicamente en Santiago entre 1979 y 1989. Es desde allí donde se establece un derrotero autori- tario que, a través de múltiples mecanismos, dispone una fusión forzosa entre determinado “tipo” de hacer-cueca y las prolongaciones “cultural”-identitarias de las que el régimen se apropia. La cueca, en tanto dispositivo político de determinada oficialidad y las cuecas como formas particulares que se exce- den de sus ordenamientos son las que pretenden ser aquí visitadas: cueca sola, cuecas de barrios populares (también nombradas brava y chora), adicionada a cuecas decididamente militantes de la resistencia, se disponen como actos y realidades que pugnan y plurifican el acto de cuequear. Palabras clave: cueca, chilenidad, dictadura, clandestinidad. The following article has the purpose of analysing the various meanings of the cuecas as aesthetic and political representations of chilenidad during the period of the military dictatorship, more specifically in Santiago between 1979 and 1989. It was then that an authoritarian procedure was created which by means of multiple mechanisms imposed the mingling between a certain type of cueca making and the cultural identity of the cueca assumed by the military government as part of its communication policies.
  • Good Neighbor Cultural Diplomacy in World War II

    Good Neighbor Cultural Diplomacy in World War II

    Good Neighbor Cultural Diplomacy in World War II: The Art of Making Friends Darlene J. Sadlier, Indiana University, USA In August 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt named Nelson A. Rockefeller to head the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs (CIAA), a new federal agency whose main objective was to strengthen cultural and commercial relations between the U.S and Latin America, in particular Brazil, in order to route Axis influence and secure hemispheric solidarity. On November 7, 1940, just months after the CIAA‘s inception, Robert G. Caldwell and Wallace K. Harrison, Chairman and Director, respectively, of the agency‘s Cultural Relations Division, received written approval for twenty-six special projects at a cost of nearly one-half million dollars.i The most expensive, at $150,000, was an Inter-American exhibit of art and culture under the direction of the MoMA, to be held simultaneously with parallel exhibits in capital cities throughout the Americas.ii Two hundred fifty-five U.S. paintings were curated by the MoMA in conjunction with other major museums, and in April 1941, these were previewed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Portions of the large exhibit then toured eight South American republics, Mexico and Cuba for close to a year, beginning with an exposition at Mexico City‘s Palacio de Bellas Artes in June.iii The emphasis was on modern art and included paintings by Georgia O‘Keefe, Thomas Hart Benton, Edward Hopper, Stuart Davis, Loren MacIver, Eugene Speicher, Peter Hurd and Robert Henri, among others. A file in the MoMA archive has valuations of all the paintings at the time, the highest valued being George Bellows‘s Dempsey and Firpo and Georgia O‘Keefe‘s The White Flower at $25,000 each.

La autolegitimación se verá facilitada por la oposición constante y excluyente del modernismo a la cultura de masas, como lo plantea Susan Kirkpatrick, hacia la incorporación del cuerpo femenino como auto representación de la propia autonomía artística durante los primeros treinta años del siglo. Una estrategia que permitirá a las artistas integrarse a los circuitos del arte chileno, pero que las excluyó de la inscripción histórica, situación que revisaremos en el presente artículo.

  • La Nueva Canción and Its Significance

    La Nueva Canción and Its Significance

    Excerpt * Temple University Press 1 La Nueva Canción and Its Significance uring the 1960s and 1970s, profound political changes were taking place in Chile and in other parts of Latin America. New political Dand social movements of students, workers, peasants, urban shanty- town dwellers, and other groups mobilized to demand rights and political inclusion along with deeper democratization and structural changes in elit- ist systems. The 1960s were marked by the Cuban Revolution and the war in Vietnam, and many young people in Chile, as in other countries, were strongly anti-imperialist and in favor of progressive social change. These popular movements coalesced to form a powerful force that was instrumen- tal in electing the democratic socialist Salvador Allende president in 1970. Allende’s goal was to preside over a peaceful, constitutional path to social- ism in Chile. He served for three turbulent years, attempting to implement a program to reduce social inequalities, until he was overthrown in the U.S.- backed military coup of 1973. Political and Social Context In Chile in the early 1960s, social divisions were severe. Some 25 percent of the population had access to sewage services, and only 10–11 percent of rural populations had supplied drinking water. In 1960, 16.4 percent of the population was illiterate.1 Tens of thousands of people had built crude, leaky shacks to live in on the outskirts of Santiago that lacked plumbing, run- ning water, and electricity. Workers had few rights and lived in overcrowded Excerpt * Temple University Press 2 Chapter 1 tenements, shantytowns, or single-room company housing; miners lived in company towns near the mines, enduring harsh conditions.

    Catálogo Valenzuela Llanos

    Valenzuela LA CONQUISTA DE LA LUZ Llanos RETROSPECTIVA Llanos Valenzuela LA CONQUISTA DE LA LUZ RETROSPECTIVA Este año se cumplen 150 años del nacimiento de Alberto Valenzuela Llanos (1869 - 1925), el pintor chileno que alcanzó el mayor reconocimiento internacional entre los artistas de su tiempo, y que fue premiado en Estados Unidos, Argentina y Francia. Durante su trayectoria vivió en París, integró la Sociedad de Artistas Franceses y fue reconocido por el gobierno galo como Caballero de la Legión de Honor. Incluso, una de sus obras integra la colección del renombrado Museo de Orsay, dedicado a lo más destacado de las artes occidentales del siglo XIX. En Chile, su nombre es ampliamente conocido y se sitúa en la cúspide fundacional de nuestra pintura. Sin embargo, muestras dedicadas por completo a su obra no se realizan desde hace más de 50 años, por lo que este aniversario constituye el momento preciso para revisitar su legado y entender por qué su propuesta –a diferencia de las de sus pares– traspasó nuestras fronteras y se instaló en el epicentro artístico de su época. Con un cuerpo de obra acotado, Valenzuela Llanos se dedicó a pintar sin interrupciones ni estímulos externos que pudieran desviar su atención. Lo suyo fue el paisaje, la naturaleza agreste, el espacio exterior, y tanto en Chile como en Francia buscó los lugares que le permitieran desarrollar su particular lenguaje pictórico. Entonces, sus vistas de Lo Contador, Lolol o Cajón del Maipo, no actúan como registro iconográfico de un territorio, sino que le sirven para llevar a cabo sus experimentaciones cromáticas, con el uso de una paleta audaz, siempre en búsqueda de la luz.
