Grupo de Trabajo www.significadode.org Diccionario de significados generado por www.significadode.org camino inca Los incas antiguos crearon una red vasta de carreteras y caminos que se llamaron Capaq Ñan. Hoy día usted todavía puede hacer largas excursiones en partes de este sistema de carreteras inca que es enladrillado con las piedras originales que fueron colocados allí por los incas mismos. Lo más popular de estos senderos incas para excursionar es el Camino Inca Clásica a Machu Picchu. Este sendero inca antiguo comienza cerca del pueblo de Ollantaytambo en el Valle Sagrado y termina en Machu Picchu, las ruinas antiguas más famosas en Sudamérica.

Schiavoni and Liccia Romero Abstract This piece aims to shed light on Venezuela’s current conjuncture, inquiring into food shortages, lines, and ‘riots,’ by employing a historical, relational and interactive approach to agrifood politics, with a focus on questions of power as related to race, class, gender and geography, as manifested in everyday practices around food. In doing so, we challenge dominant narratives around ‘authoritarian populism,’ by examining the differentiated impacts of the shortages and the visible and invisible forms of power driving them, through a complex web of relationships among state, society and capital. We look at the past to understand the historical continuities of extractive patterns, with attention to how food has served as a means of creating and maintaining social differentiations over time, particularly the formation of a powerful elite, a middle class aligned with it, and a class of ‘others’.

  • Herpetological Journal FULL PAPER
    Volume 26 (October 2016), 263–269 FULL PAPER Herpetological Journal Published by the British Regional differences in growth rates of Orinoco crocodiles Herpetological Society (Crocodylus intermedius) from the Venezuelan Llanos Andrés E. Seijas Y. Universidad Nacional de los Llanos Occidentales “Ezequiel Zamora” (UNELLEZ). Vice-rectorado de Producción Agrícola, Guanare, Estado Portuguesa, Venezuela Populations of the Orinoco crocodile (Crocodylus intermedius) have not recovered from past exploitation, and current abundances cannot be used for assessing the suitability of habitats they occupy. Growth constitutes an alternative way of assessing habitat quality. Since 1990, more than 9000 captive-reared Orinoco crocodiles have been released into the Venezuelan Llanos. In the present study, the growth rates of 127 recaptured crocodiles from different regions were compared. All individuals from Middle Cojedes and the Aeolian savannahs grew slower than expected by the von Bertalanffy model, whereas individuals from Caños in the Apure floodplains grew faster than expected. These inferences are corroborated with growth rate measurements for crocodiles under four years of age, which were lowest in Middle Cojedes (average of 14.1 cm/ year) and highest at Caños (43.3 cm/year). Low growth rates can be explained by habitat deterioration due to human activities, and high growth rates in the Caños support that the lower reaches of whitewater rivers offer favourable conditions for the species. Crocodiles in high quality habitats may reach sexual maturity in six years, whereas more than a decade is required in poor-quality habitats. Key words: growth models, habitat quality, Orinoco crocodile, reintroduction INTRODUCTION lagoons in the lowlands of the Orinoco river basin.

  • The State and Civil Society in Socialist Venezuela: the Case of Us
    THE STATE AND CIVIL SOCIETY IN SOCIALIST VENEZUELA: THE CASE OF US DEMOCRACY ASSISTANCE, VENEZUELAN NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY, AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION LAW by TIMOTHY MICHAEL GILL (Under the Direction of David Smilde) ABSTRACT Since the 1980s, the US has provided material and technical support, or democracy assistance, to political parties and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) throughout the world. Two theoretical perspectives have governed analysis of this phenomenon, including a neo- Tocquevillian and a neo-Marxist perspective. These two perspectives, however, contain several theoretical blindspots that require rectification. To provide a more robust theory of US democracy assistance efforts, I have selected Venezuela as a case study. As a result of previous theoretical shortcomings, I have developed a neo-Weberian perspective. Similar to the neo- Tocquevillian perspective, this perspective recognizes that the US mainly promotes US-style liberal democratic policies in the countries that it operates, and, similar to both perspectives, this perspective recognizes that US democracy assistance primarily flows to the Venezuelan opposition. Unlike the neo-Tocquevillian perspective, this perspective recognizes that the US has provided assistance to actors that have not always pursued democratic measures, and it recognizes that a multiplicity of legitimate forms of democratic politics exist, including the radical and participatory politics that the Venezuelan government has promoted. Unlike the neo- Marxist perspective, this perspective can make sense of the select instances in which the US has funded actors that have worked with and commended the Venezuelan government. Most importantly, this perspective asserts the centrality of US officials’ ideological motivations, and shows how these officials understand the Venezuelan government in colonialist and racist terms.

  • Untitled, 1962 207
    ABSTRACT This dissertation interrogates how the Caracas-based collective El Techo de la Ballena (active 1961−69) vacillated between the sociopolitical concerns that provided the basis for its proposals and the wide array of mainstream tendencies that informed its anti- aesthetic stances. El Techo dialogued with a variety of global currents in a multifaceted practice that encroached upon the realms of the aesthetic, the political, and the literary. In spite of evident convergences with au courant tendencies in these spheres, a fundamental retrograde stance anchored the proposals of these radicalized writers, artists, poets, and art critics. As I argue, their compulsion to return to the past reflected an aversion towards a critical Cold War moment marred in Venezuela by several key factors: a far from peaceful transition to democracy during the government of Rómulo Betancourt, a rapid physical transformation fueled by increasing oil revenue, persistent underdevelopment, and a less than equitable distribution of wealth. In Part I, I establish the socioeconomic and cultural conditions upon which El Techo based its multidisciplinary interventions. Two chapters investigate the critical issue of the Venezuelan petro-state at midcentury: the unbalance between a rapid officially- sanctioned socioeconomic development and the slower agricultural temporalities that continued to determine the rhythms of vast sectors of the population. I contend that the collective responded to the problems unleashed by a national economy built on petroleum and the parallel development of a fad aesthetic, Informalism, which emerged from the cultural excesses of that unstable developmentalist model. I organize Part II around three case studies that closely examine El Techo’s deliberate inversion of an internationally aligned modernity that hinged on the need for constant evolution and progress in the visual arts.

Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Yusuf Kalyango Jr. Associate Professor of Journalism Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT CABAS-MIJARES, AYLEEN A., M.S., August 2016, Journalism Conceptualizing the Bolivarian Revolution: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Chávez’s Rhetorical Framing in Aló Presidente Director of Thesis: Yusuf Kalyango Jr. This critical discourse analysis of the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez’s time in office explores the rhetorical frames he employed to characterize the Bolivarian Revolution in his weekly television and radio show, Aló Presidente. After iterative readings of the transcripts of 40 Aló Presidente episodes that spanned almost the entire Chávez presidency, the study shows that the president employed historical, socioeconomic and religious rhetorical frames to define and promote the Bolivarian Revolution as a desirable governance manifesto. Chávez’s rhetorical framing presented the revolution as the only bastion of patriotism, ethical and Christian values in Venezuela, which resulted in the vilification of dissent and the legitimation of political discrimination. In summary, the findings indicate that President Chávez’s discursive practices and overall media strategy and dominance of the media landscape set the stage for the violation of Venezuelans’ right to access diverse information as well as their freedom of expression.
