The fear of such “substate conflict contagion” is frequently invoked by American policymakers as a justification for military intervention in ongoing substate conflicts — the argument these policymakers often make is that conflicts left uncontained now will spread and become a more pertinent security threat later. My State Action Explanation is that substate conflict contagion is not the sole product of nonstate factors such as transnational rebel networks and arms flows, nor of the structural factors such as poverty that make internal conflict more likely in general. -

Instrumentalising the Past: the Germanic Myth in National Socialist Context
RJHI 1 (1) 2014 Instrumentalising the Past: The Germanic Myth in National Socialist Context Irina-Maria Manea * Abstract : In the search for an explanatory model for the present or even more, for a fundament for national identity, many old traditions were rediscovered and reutilized according to contemporary desires. In the case of Germany, a forever politically fragmented space, justifying unity was all the more important, especially beginning with the 19 th century when it had a real chance to establish itself as a state. Then, beyond nationalism and romanticism, at the dawn of the Third Reich, the myth of a unified, powerful, pure people with a tradition dating since time immemorial became almost a rule in an ideology that attempted to go back to the past and select those elements which could have ensured a historical basis for the regime. In this study, we will attempt to focus on two important aspects of this type of instrumentalisation. The focus of the discussion is mainly Tacitus’ Germania, a work which has been forever invoked in all sorts of contexts as a means to discover the ancient Germans and create a link to the modern ones, but in the same time the main beliefs in the realm of history and archaeology are underlined, so as to catch a better glimpse of how the regime has been instrumentalising and overinterpreting highly controversial facts. Keywords : Tacitus, Germania, myth, National Socialism, Germany, Kossinna, cultural-historical archaeology, ideology, totalitarianism, falsifying history During the twentieth century, Tacitus’ famous work Germania was massively instrumentalised by the Nazi regime, in order to strengthen nationalism and help Germany gain an aura of eternal glory. -

Del Instituto Espanol de Oceanograff a. El que llamamos Rio de la Plata ha merecido catalogaciones geograficas bien diversas, Solis, acaso el mas acertado, lo name Mar Dulce, otros, com.o Francisco Torres, le dieron el nombre de Rio de Solis, algunos lo suponen un Golfo y buen mimero de ellos un Estuario.

Medios, Dictadura Y Democracia
Medios, Dictadura y Democracia Secretaría de Derechos Humanos Medios, dictadura y democracia Introducción Analizar el discurso de los medios de comunicación en la dictadura, es una tarea ardua que no se agota en el simple raconto de que se decía en ese momento, cual fue su rol en el esquema de poder de la época o cual fue la actitud para con las víctimas de la represión. El verdadero análisis, a 34 años del golpe, es analizar que discursos son los que continúan, cuáles son los actores sociales que todavía establecen esos discursos y como era el esquema de poder mediático en la época anterior al proceso militar y cual fue el esquema posterior a los militares en el poder. El análisis del discurso no busca juzgar hechos, sino reconocer marcas que nos lleven a una aproximación a la realidad. El estudio de las tapas de los diarios es muy útil a la hora de bucear las posiciones de los medios. Se entiende que la tapa del diario la lee mucha mas gente que el consumidor real del diario, pues una tapa está en la mano del canillita o en el propio kiosco, y las personas que pasan por allí la consumen con una mirada. Mientras mas grande sea la letra del título, mas fácil se lee en un golpe de vista. Si las tapas de los diarios (y sobre todo en esa época, donde el desarrollo de los medios electrónicos no tenía ni por asomo el de hoy) eran coincidentes en el mensaje, la construcción del sentido común era relativamente simple. -

Through this choice and following Amour Sorcier takes place in the abode of a viewpoint that makes the subject universal, L’gypsies of Andalucia, in an atmosphere the principal roles will in part be interpreted of superstition and sorcery.

The curse will definitively be broken when Thierry Malandain Candelas manages to redirect the jealous attention of the ghost toward another young girl. In bringing closer the dead and the living, this legend borrows from other traditional tales, such as those that relate to the invitation of the dead to rituals that celebrate the coming of spring. Ceremonies, that in their role of regeneration of the world, used fire as a symbol of the supremacy of light over darkness. -
