  • Outline and Chart Lago Espanol.Ala.4.4.2015
    The Spanish Navigations in the SPANISH LAKE (Pacific Ocean) and their Precedents From the Discovery of the New World (Indies, later America) Spanish explorers threw themselves with “gusto” into further discoverings and expeditions. They carried in their crew not only the “conquerors” and explorers, but also priests, public administrators who would judge the area’s value for colonization, linguists, scientists, and artists. These complete set of crew members charted the coasts, the currents, the winds, the fauna and flora, to report back to the crown for future actions and references. A very important part of the Spanish explorations, is the extent and role of local peoples in Spain’s discoveries. It was the objective of the crown that friendly connections and integration be made. In fact there were “civil wars” among the crown and some “colonizers” to enforce the Laws of Indies which so specified. Today, some of this information has been lost, but most is kept in public and private Spanish Museums, Libraries, Archives and private collections not only in Spain but in the America’s, Phillipines, the Vatican, Germany, Holland, and other european countries, and of course the United States, which over its 200 year existence as a nation, also managed to collect important information of the early explorations.

  • Torres Del Paine National Park, Patagonia – Chile 2012: Work Experience in Extreme Behavior Conditions 1 in the Context of Global Warming
    Proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on Fire Economics, Planning, and Policy: Climate Change and Wildfires Mega Wildfire in the World Biosphere Reserve (UNESCO), Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia – Chile 2012: Work Experience In Extreme Behavior Conditions 1 in the Context of Global Warming René Cifuentes Medina2 Abstract Mega wildfires are critical, high-impact events that cause severe environmental, economic and social damage, resulting, in turn, in high-cost suppression operations and the need for mutual support, phased use of resources and the coordinated efforts of civilian government agencies, the armed forces, private companies and the international community. The mega forest fire that struck the Torres del Paine National Park and World Biosphere Reserve in the southern Magallanes region of Chile, in the period from December 2011 to February 2012, was caused by the negligent act of a tourist, in an area of difficult access by land and under extreme behavior conditions that made rapid access of ground attack resources even more difficult and made air attack impossible. Factors that influenced the event from the beginning were rapid rate of spread, high caloric intensity, resistance to control and long- distance emission of firebrands. On the other hand, the effects of climate change and global warming are being felt and viewed worldwide as a real threat, generating perfect scenarios for the occurrence of fires of this kind. Thus, this fire serves as a concrete example worthy of analysis for its magnitude, the considerable resources and means used, the level of complexity in attack operations, the great logistical deployments that had to be implemented due to the remoteness and inaccessibility of the site, the complications that had to be overcome, its impact on tourism and the local economy, the extensive media coverage it received, and its considerable political impact.

    MONSTROSITY AND IDENTITY IN THE COMEDIAS OF LOPE DE VEGA Sarah Apffel Cegelski 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 Romance Languages Department. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved By: Carmen Hsu Frank Dominguez Rosa Perelmuter Margaret Greer Valeria Finucci © 2015 Sarah Apffel Cegelski ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Sarah Apffel Cegelski: Monstrosity and Identity in the Comedias of Lope de Vega (Under the Direction of Carmen Hsu) Monstrosity and Identity in the Comedias of Lope de Vega is concerned with the relationship between monstrosity and identity formation in early modern Spain. The monster was a popular cultural phenomenon in sixteenth and seventeenth century Spain, appearing in a variety of scientific and literary genres. The monster was not just an extraordinary and unusual creature that elicited reactions of awe, wonder, and terror; it was also considered a sign from God that required careful interpretation to comprehend its meaning. The monster also embodies those characteristics that a society deems undesirable, and so by contrast, it shows what a society accepts and desires as part of its identity. In Lope de Vega’s (1562-1635) comedias, the playwright depicts characters who challenged the social, political, and religious conventions of his time as monsters. This study of Lope’s monsters intends to understand how and why Lope depicted these characters as monsters, and what they can tell us about the behaviors, beliefs, and traditions that Lope rejected as unacceptable or undesirable parts of the Spanish collective identity.

Using original documents I gathered in research trips to Chile and Spain, I am able to reconstruct the debates that went on both sides of the Atlantic over funds, protection from ’ th pirates, and indigenous slavery that so defined Chile s formative 17 century. While my conclusions are unique, frontier residents from Paraguay to northern New Spain were also dealing with volatile indigenous alliances, threats from European enemies, and questions about how their tiny settlements could get and keep the attention of the crown.

Rodrigo Faúndez Carreño* La mayor parte de los análisis críticos de que ha sido objeto La Araucana1 desde la publicación de su primera parte en 1569, se han desarrollado a partir de una visión parcial de ella. Los críticos literarios en el curso de los siglos han elogiado o vituperado sus méritos épicos a partir de una concepción aristotélica del género2 lo que ha tenido como consecuencia considerar tradicionalmente a la obra como un poema menor y defectuoso debido a que carece de un protagonista central, participa el autor en el relato y se introducen una serie de pasajes amorosos y bélicos ajenos al curso inicial de la narración: la guerra entre españoles y araucanos. Por su parte la crítica histórica se ha centrado en develar los perjuicios que cumple la introducción de elementos poéticos que invisten bajo atributos de héroes clásicos los rasgos y caracteres indígenas.3 Ante estas concepciones parciales propongo un estudio interdisciplinario que analiza los elementos literarios inmanentes de La Araucana desde una perspectiva historicista que rescata su diálogo (poético) con el medio social que condiciona el sentido de su discurso.4 Estas *Licenciado en Historia Universidad de Chile, abril del 2005. 1 Para el presente trabajo empleo la edición de La Araucana hecha por Isaísas Lerner, publicada en Madrid por la editorial Cátedra en 1999.

  • Chile, 1895 – 1967∗
    1 THE IMPACT OF MINING PRICES IN THE LOCALIZATION OF INDUSTRY IN CHILE, 1895 – 1967∗ Marc Badia-Miró Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Spain [email protected] César Yáñez Universitat de Barcelona, Spain [email protected] Abstract The different mining cycles have had an enormous impact in the evolution of the localization of economic activity, and in particular, of industry in Chile. In the first place, the nitrate cycle was characterized by a labour-intensive extraction process and activity which was geographically very concentrated (Tarapacá and then in Antofagasta). Both initially, when it existed alongside nitrate mining and later alone, the copper cycle is geographically much more disperse and its activity, very capital intensive. Nitrate and copper mining also had a very unequal impact on industry. During the nitrate cycle as a result of growing demand, there is significant industrial development in these provinces led by the industrial sectors that produced non-durable consumer goods. As a result of this growth in industrial employment in these mining provinces, the highest levels of industrial dispersion in the country are registered. This expansion impacted in the industrial thrust of the province itself, within the domestic market, in those provinces with sufficient response capacity. During the copper cycle the result is not as clear. The impact in industry is much more limited to those sectors most closely linked to mining production, more capital-intensive (equipment goods). This means that the greater dispersion of mining during the copper cycle does not have the same backward link, and growth in industrial employment is far more limited.
