WATSOM AND VINET, LD., LONDON AND AYI.EBBUBT. PREFACE The object of the present volume is to furnish the reader with information which cannot be obtained, except partially, either from the numerous books of travel deahng with the Argentine or from the various Handbooks, Year Books, or other volumes of a com- mercial nature issued with the object of showing the prospects of the country to the business man. The information contained in the following pages is scattered through numbers of volumes, few of which are even partially in Enghsh and many of which are inaccesible to the general reader. A residence of more than twenty years in Argentina " has satisfied me that, although a " bird of passage may write a critical and highly coloured account of the country after a sojourn of a few days, or even hours—so great is the perspicacity of the globe trotter —such a feat is beyond the powers of one who really knows the land and sympathises with the hopes and aspirations of its sons. The first personal pronoun is therefore only shghtly employed, the volume being a collection of facts and not a mere record of feelings or opinions, as such are bound to vary with the personal equation and experi- ences of a writer. I have to thank Mr. R. Rosauer, of 571 Rivadavia, Buenos Aires, for furnishing me with most of the illustrations which appear in the volume. A. STUART PENNINGTON.

There are those, it is true, who question the importance of his career and reject the cult of the hero. For them the meaning of liberation is to be found in the study of economic struc- tures, social classes and the international conjuncture, not in military actions and the lives of liberators. In this view Carlyle’s discourse on heroes is a mu- seum piece and his elevation of heroes as the prime subject of history a misconception.

    Petrological and geochemical characteristics of metamorphic and igneous units from the allochthonous Madre de Dios Terrane, Southern Chile ⁎ F.A. Sepúlveda a, , F. Hervé a, M. Calderón a, J.P. Lacassie b,c a Departamento de Geología, Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas, Universidad de Chile, Casilla 13518, Correo 21, Santiago, Chile b Paleoproterozoic Mineralization Research Group, Department of Geology, University of Johannesburg, Auckland Park, Johannesburg, 2006, South Africa c SERNAGEOMIN, Av. Santa María 0104, Providencia, Santiago, Chile Abstract The Denaro Complex, part of the Madre de Dios Terrane is composed of metamorphosed pillow basalts, metahyaloclastites, banded metalliferous and radiolarian metacherts, metapelites and redeposited calcareous metasandstones. The basaltic rocks show primary textures, minerals and structures. They are foliated especially in the vicinities of thrust faults, interpreted to have developed during the accretion of the terrane to the Gondwana margin. Composition of relic primary augite and chromite crystals plots into the MORB field of tectonic discriminant diagrams, as do the analyses of whole rock geochemistry, which indicates that these rocks are akin to volcanic rocks erupted along a constructive plate margin (N- and E-type MORBs), probably in a spreading axis-centered oceanic plateau or ridge. The metamorphic assemblages of pumpellyite–actinolite facies bear witness of metamorphism in a frontal accretionary wedge at elevated P and low T conditions, probably related to the Late Triassic–Early Jurassic Chonide event, which has been recognized elsewhere in the Patagonian Andes. Keywords: Metamorphism; Terrane accretion; Pumpellyite–actinolite facies; Seamount subduction; Frontal accretion 1. Introduction The rocks which crop out at the Madre de Dios archipelago (50°–50°50'S), referred to by Hervé and Mpodozis (2005) as 1.1.

En el bicentenario de su muerte RESUMEN El artículo presenta las sucesivas etapas que configuraron el derrotero del sacerdote patriota en las primeras horas del movimiento independentista. Se destacan tanto los valores de su desempeño ministerial como su ascendencia social y política en el ambiente porteño, con la perspectiva propia de los idea- les ilustrados de su tiempo y en particular durante el curato en San Nicolás de Bari, la segunda parroquia más importante de la ciudad. Con información bien documentada da cuenta de su nacimiento y de su formación desde sus estudios humanísticos, se reconstruyen los años siguientes dedicados al oficio pastoral de regreso en Buenos Aires y en Maldonado (Uruguay) en tiempos de las invasiones inglesas, su ministerio en San Nicolás de Bari cuando acon- tece la Revolución de Mayo y su tarea a favor de la causa patriótica desde su participación en el Cabildo Abierto del 22 y su incorporación como vocal de la Primera Junta. Se despliegan los aspectos sobresalientes de esta última misión y los aspectos que se destacan en este recorrido por la vida y la obra de este cura patriota son: compromiso honesto, integridad y actitud de servi- cio sin reservas desde la función pública. Palabras clave: Manuel Maximiliano Alberti, Primera Junta, invasiones ingle- sas, Iglesia de la Compañía, Revolución de Mayo, Mariano Moreno, Deán Funes, Cornelio Saavedra.

Los hechos de Mayo no hicieron más que cristalizar un movimiento liberador que venía buscando, desde 1806, mayor participación política y económica de los criollos. Así, el 22 de mayo de 1810, luego de que llegara la noticia de la caída de la corona española en manos de franceses, los criollos convocaron a un Cabildo Abierto que tuvo que ser aceptado por el Virrey Cisneros, representante de España en el país. Luego de 4 días de debates y revueltas, se tomó la decisión de conformar una Junta criolla que asumiera el Gobierno de la Nación hasta tanto la Corona Española fuese liberada de la dominación francesa. Así, el gobierno popular quedó formado por intelectuales y militares criollos que venían desde hacía años luchando por la revolución independentista: Cornelio Saavedra, Juan José Castelli, Manuel Belgrano, Miguel de Azcuénaga, Manuel Alberti, Domingo Matheu, Juan Larrea, Juan José Paso y Mariano Moreno. A partir de este hecho, la lucha por la independencia fue un camino inevitable que desembocó en el Congreso de Tucumán del 9 de julio de 1816.

  • Argentine Territorial Nationalism Revisited: the Malvinas/Falklands Dispute and Geographies of Everyday Nationalism
    Political Geography 30 (2011) 441e449 Contents lists available at SciVerse ScienceDirect Political Geography journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/polgeo Argentine territorial nationalism revisited: The Malvinas/Falklands dispute and geographies of everyday nationalism Matthew C. Benwell a,*, Klaus Dodds b,1 a University of Liverpool, School of Environmental Sciences, Roxby Building, Chatham Street, L69 7ZT, UK b Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey, TW20 0EX, UK abstract Keywords: This paper is concerned with expressions of Argentine territorial nationalism with a specific focus on the Popular geopolitics Malvinas/Falklands dispute. Billig’s(1995)notion of banal nationalism has been widely applied as Malvinas/Falklands Islands a means to understanding the ways in which national identities are learnt and reproduced by the Everyday nationalism populace, through a multitude of ‘mundane’ representations. More recently Billig’s (1995) thesis has Territory been critiqued (Jones & Merriman, 2009) for its rigidity and inability to take account of the different ways these nationalisms are produced and received (Müller, 2008) within and outside of the nation-state. We build on these interventions by arguing that research into territorial nationalism should not ignore the wider temporal, spatial, political and everyday contexts in which such discourses emerge and are consumed. To illustrate this diversity we contend that territorial nationalism and, more specifically, the attention placed on the Malvinas dispute by the Argentine government has varied in its intensity, depending on wider political events and agendas in the South West Atlantic and Latin American regions. Secondly, through the use of interview extracts from a pilot study conducted with 20 young people in Buenos Aires, we suggest that Argentine territorial nationalism is not received uniformly across the nation-state and, rather, should be explored in its everyday contexts.

  • GONDWANA I11 Du Toit
    GONDWANA 503 i11 du Toit < Gondwana, Samfrau > ... the really important point is not so much to disprove Wegener’s particular views as to decide from the relevant evidence whether or not continental drift is a genuine variety of earth movement. —Holmes, 1944.1 A geologist who looked for geological evidence to test Wegener’s hypothesis of continental drift was Alexander Logie du Toit (1878-1948). As a field geologist for the Geological Survey of South Africa he became familiar with the regional geology of that country. Curious to see firsthand how well, if at all, the geology either side of the Atlantic matched, he applied for and upon receiving a generous grant from the Carnegie Institution of Washington in 1923 he spent five months in South America familiarizing himself with the geology of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. His seminal paper, A Geological Comparison of South America with South Africa, was published in 1927. He wrote, “The concordance between the opposed shores, incidentally pointed out and discussed by others long before Wegener, has consistently been extended by each fresh geological observation until at present the amount of agreement is 5 In his book, Our Wandering Continents nothing short of marvellous.” Persuasive of a former (1937)2 is the statement: “from the proximity of the two continents are the discoverable linkages mid-Palaeozoic onwards the lands must have that “cross from coast to coast, not only directly but crept northwards for thousands of kilometers diagonally as well, and are furthermore of widely different to account for their deduced climatic ages.” In the map to illustrate this tectonic and phasal (lateral vicissitudes.
