    Island Studies Journal, Vol. 10, No. 1, 2015, pp. 49-70 Affordance of landscapes and economic socio-spatial networks in the Quinchao archipelago, Chile: a contribution to landscape research and island studies. Carlos Hidalgo Universidad de los Lagos, Chile [email protected] Francisco Ther Universidad de los Lagos, Chile [email protected] Gonzalo Saavedra Universidad Austral, Chile [email protected] and Asunción Díaz Universidad de los Lagos, Chile [email protected] ABSTRACT : This article presents research which analyzes landscape transformation, using an interdisciplinary approach embedded in an archipelagic context. The investigation unfolds in Quinchao, a cluster of ten islands of the Quinchao Department, Chiloé archipelago, Región de Los Lagos, Chile. The investigation gathers reflections from such disciplines as anthropology, geography, biology and psychology which share similar reflections on the configuration of landscapes as an affordance or enabled property of the human-in-ecosystem assemblage. Ethnographic interpretations and Social Network Analysis of fieldwork data are used to propose a theoretical framework for the investigation of coastal and marine landscapes in archipelagic contexts. Keywords : archipelago, affordance, Chiloé, dwelling, island studies, landscapes, Quinchao, socio-ecological system © 2015 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada Introduction: Global-local intersections and island studies In recent years, some debate has emerged around the idea of ‘archipelagic thinking’ in island studies scholarship. Island studies, or nissology (Baldacchino, 2008; Depraetere, 1991), has advocated an inquiry into islands “on their own terms” (McCall, 1994, p. 6) and, regardless of the rich philosophical and political contributions it has made, debates on the nature of islands and island life, colonialism and other related topics have not quite been able to efficiently address theoretical and methodological challenges that we were warned about by Baldacchino (2008).

LADB Article Id: 55802 ISSN: 1060-4189 Arrest of Suspected Assassin Yields New Demands for Pinochet Resignation by LADB Staff Category/Department: Chile Published: 1996-01-26 In mid-January, police in Argentina arrested the person believed responsible for the 1974 assassination in Buenos Aires of Chilean Gen. Carlos Prats and his wife Sofia Couthbert. The individual arrested is a former Chilean intelligence agent, and his capture has brought renewed calls for the resignation of Chile's army chief, Gen. Augusto Pinochet. The case has also resurfaced tensions between the Chilean military and the civilian government of President Eduardo Frei. On Jan. 19, Argentine police in Buenos Aires arrested Enrique Lautaro Arancibia Clavel, a Chilean citizen who is suspected of being the intellectual author of the 1974 assassination of Gen. Prats and his wife. The arrest was announced by Argentine President Carlos Saul Menem, who called it "a new victory for justice and for the federal police." Police sources said Arancibia Clavel had been sought for years by Argentine, Chilean, and Italian authorities in connection with the deaths of Prats and his wife, as well as for carrying out other assassinations on behalf of the Chilean secret service (Direccion de Inteligencia Nacional, DINA).

  • A History of Political Murder in Latin America Clear of Conflict, Children Anywhere, and the Elderly—All These Have Been Its Victims
    Chapter 1 Targets and Victims His dance of death was famous. In 1463, Bernt Notke painted a life-sized, thirty-meter-long “Totentanz” that snaked around the chapel walls of the Marienkirche in Lübeck, the picturesque port town outside Hamburg in northern Germany. Individuals covering the entire medieval social spec- trum were represented, ranging from the Pope, the Emperor and Empress, and a King, followed by (among others) a duke, an abbot, a nobleman, a merchant, a maiden, a peasant, and even an infant. All danced reluctantly with grinning images of the reaper in his inexorable procession. Today only photos remain. Allied bombers destroyed the church during World War II. If Notke were somehow transported to Latin America five hundred years later to produce a new version, he would find no less diverse a group to portray: a popular politician, Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, shot down on a main thoroughfare in Bogotá; a churchman, Archbishop Oscar Romero, murdered while celebrating mass in San Salvador; a revolutionary, Che Guevara, sum- marily executed after his surrender to the Bolivian army; journalists Rodolfo Walsh and Irma Flaquer, disappeared in Argentina and Guatemala; an activ- ist lawyer and nun, Digna Ochoa, murdered in her office for defending human rights in Mexico; a soldier, General Carlos Prats, murdered in exile for standing up for democratic government in Chile; a pioneering human rights organizer, Azucena Villaflor, disappeared from in front of her home in Buenos Aires never to be seen again. They could all dance together, these and many other messengers of change cut down by this modern plague.

EIDAHL has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Patrick M. Barr-Melej Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT EIDAHL, BRAD T., Ph.D., December 2017, History Writing the Opposition: Power, Coercion, Legitimacy and the Press in Pinochet's Chile Director of Dissertation: Patrick M. Barr-Melej This dissertation examines the struggle between Chile’s opposition press and the dictatorial regime of Augusto Pinochet Ugarte (1973-1990). It argues that due to Chile’s tradition of a pluralistic press and other factors, and in bids to strengthen the regime’s legitimacy, Pinochet and his top officials periodically demonstrated considerable flexibility in terms of the opposition media’s ability to publish and distribute its products. However, the regime, when sensing that its grip on power was slipping, reverted to repressive measures in its dealings with opposition-media outlets. Meanwhile, opposition journalists challenged the very legitimacy Pinochet sought and further widened the scope of acceptable opposition under difficult circumstances. Ultimately, such resistance contributed to Pinochet’s defeat in the 1988 plebiscite, initiating the return of democracy.

  • Estudio Lingoistico-Folklorico De Chiloe: Mitos Y Actividades Laborales Rudimentarias
    ESTUDIO LINGOISTICO-FOLKLORICO DE CHILOE: MITOS Y ACTIVIDADES LABORALES RUDIMENTARIAS l. INTRODUCCIÓN A) Del método en general. O.l . El presente trabajo tiene como objeto de estudio una doble realidad, cuyos miembros no se oponen, sino que se complementan: una realidad lingüística y otra folklórica. Este objeto es bastante cir­ cunscrito ya que se enmarca en un área geográfica relativamente re­ ducida. Nos referimos sólo al lenguaje y folklore de la provincia de Chiloé; más aún, no hemos abarcado, por razones que explicaremos más adelante, la provincia entera, sino sólo la Isla Grande e islas adya­ centes, geográficamente lo que constituye el Archipiélago de Chiloé. De lo lingüístico hemos abarcado básicamente el léxico y de é te el intrínseco y el vinculado de algún modo a los mitos y costumbres. De otra parte, hemos seleccionado los mitos y costumbres susceptibles de brindarnos mayores posibilidades lingüísticas. Todo dentro del nivel popular. Tanto el aspecto lingüístico como el folklórico suponen, por lo tanto, realidades más amplias. Cuando decimos Archipiélago de Chiloé, mencionamos una rea­ lidad geográfico-espacial. Ahora bien, las dos realidades aludidas pue­ den ser estudiadas sobre esta tercera. De hecho, la lengua es una en­ tidad cambiante. "La lengua cambia -dice Coseriu- justamente por­ que no está hecha sino que se hace continuamente por la actividad lin­ güística"1. Algo similar podemos decir del folklore.

Here the magic of traditional culture lives on. Our sturdy kayaks emulate the spirit of the fragile dalcas; in which the natives traveled many centuries ago. Today there still vestiges of this original Araucanian way of life, in harmonious combination with the influences of German immigrants in the late 1800s and of modern-day Chile. On every lovely island we visit, you'll see moss-covered old wooden churches gracing the seaside, as well as palafitos (stilt houses) that are 20 feet and more in the air when the tide is out, but nearly awash when it's in. Savor a rich curanto and other typical cuisine to delight your palate. Wander through the local market of Castro. What more can we say?

    ME CONTARON DE CHILE 40 CUENTOS GANADORES Y FINALISTAS DE LA PRIMERA VERSIÓN DEL CONCURSO Noviembre de 2017 ISBN 978-956-7582-20-4 Impreso en Santiago por Alvimpress Impresores Ltda. Me contaron de Chile 2017 Concurso Literario para Chilenos Residentes en el Exterior ME CONTARON DE CHILE Organizadores ME CONTARON DE CHILE Prólogo “Me Contaron de Chile” fue el nombre de nuestro primer concurso de microcuentos mediante el cual convocamos a los chilenos del exterior, de distintas edades, a contarnos sus experiencias, recuerdos y vivencias que mantenían acerca de nuestro país. Recibimos cientos de participaciones y, como es- perábamos, todas resultaron muy emocionantes y con una cuota importante de nostalgia y añoranza. Al efectuar esta convocatoria nos interesaba no solo el fortalecimiento del vínculo con la Patria, sino también, conocer cómo ella había quedado en la memoria al ser transmitida de generación en ge- neración, es decir, cómo la chilenidad era recordada por las primeras y nuevas generaciones en el exterior. La idea de la Patria interrumpida, buscábamos superarla a través de este verdadero “ejercicio de memoria”. Ahora, convertido en un hermoso libro, que incluye los microcuentos sin editar de ganadores y finalis- tas de las diferentes categorías, estamos acompañándolos de acuarelas creadas por los estudiantes de la Escuela de Diseño de la Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo de Universidad de Chile. Así, estos dos Chiles, el de los relatos externos, y el de los dibujos internos se vinculan para conformar un todo coherente que da cuenta de una parte de nuestra identidad, cual es la de ser chilenos siempre, no importando el lugar de residencia.
