  • The Linguistic Experience of Italians in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1890-1914: Language Shift As Seen Through Social Spaces ______
    THE LINGUISTIC EXPERIENCE OF ITALIANS IN BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA, 1890-1914: LANGUAGE SHIFT AS SEEN THROUGH SOCIAL SPACES ________________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ________________________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ________________________________________________________________________ by Maria Italiano-McGreevy January 2013 Examining Committee Members: Augusto Lorenzino, Dissertation Advisor, Spanish and Portuguese Jonathan Holmquist, Examination Committee Chair, Spanish and Portuguese Paul Toth, Internal Reader, Spanish and Portuguese Gabriella Romani, External Reader, Italian Studies, Seton Hall University ! ABSTRACT From 1890-1914, Argentina received a large influx of Italian immigrants who wanted to “hacer la América”, or live the American dream of economic prosperity. With Italian immigrants representing nearly half of all immigrants entering Argentina, the government strived to create a new sense of Argentine pride and nationalism. The objective of this dissertation is to investigate and analyze the linguistic experience of Italian immigrants in Buenos Aires, Argentina, applying Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of social space and linguistic markets, and contact language theories to explain the attrition and shift of the Italian language. This study identifies three relevant social spaces that contributed to the linguistic experience of Italian immigrants in Buenos Aires: 1). conventillos or immigrant housing 2.) school community, and 3.) mutual aid societies. Within each social space thrived a linguistic market which language played a key role in the way people interacted and identified with each other. First, the conventillos were part of an alternative linguistic market in which cocoliche, a transitional language, thrived as a way for Italians to communicate with immigrants from different countries.

  • Graffiti As a Popular Tool for Democratization in Argentina
    Anne Buckley 1 SELF-EXPRESSION IN SPRAY PAINT: GRAFFITI AS A POPULAR TOOL FOR DEMOCRATIZATION IN ARGENTINA By: Anne Buckley Department of International Affairs, University of Colorado at Boulder A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with GENERAL HONORS April 9, 2014 Primary Thesis Advisor Gregory Young, Department of Political Science Committee Members Nina Molinaro, Department of Spanish, Honors Program Donna Goldstein, Department of Anthropology Anne Buckley 2 Abstract This thesis will argue that graffiti and street art increase the democratic self-expression values that Christian Welzel’s (2008) democratization theory argues are integral to the process of democratization. In countries where a repressive authoritarian regime allows little room for the population to express themselves, graffiti and street art offer a venue for the voicing of self- expression values, which lead to an increase in democratic values and culture. Growth in a society’s self-expression values, facilitated by the creation or exposure to graffiti, leads to mass pro-democratic attitudes. This thesis will use the case of Argentina’s democratic transition following the end of the “Dirty War,” when graffiti played a crucial role in the transition from a brutal authoritarian regime to democracy. Graffiti in Argentina has been integral during the transition to democracy, and this thesis will argue keeping the atrocities of the “Dirty War” in the public eye and collective memory through commemorative graffiti, street art, and demonstrations was extremely valuable to the initial success of the democratic transition. The importance of political graffiti and street art to the culture of Argentina cannot be debated as the streets of Buenos Aires are covered with colorful slogans, stencils and murals.

  • Buenos Aires: a Creative City?
    Buenos Aires: A Creative City? November 2016 Prepared by the Creative Class Group Forward from Richard Florida Buenos Aires has been through a lot of transformations in its history. It started as a colonial outpost in a rural hinterland and grew into the industrial, financial, and commercial capital of a nation. Now, as Argentina enters a new period of stability, prosperity, and growth, it is shaping up as a leader in the post-industrial creative economy. Like every big city, Buenos Aires faces vexing challenges, among them poverty and brain drain. Fortunately, it has an incredible set of assets in its great universities, a government that is prepared to make the investments in quality of place that it needs—and most importantly of all, a diverse, dynamic, and highly-creative citizenry. If any global city is well-positioned to make the most of an Art Basel Cities, it is Buenos Aires. 2 Executive Summary Simply put, how well does Buenos Aires measure up as a global creative hub? What are its strengths and weaknesses according to the Creative Class Group’s proprietary metrics for urban creativity? How can the city use Art Basel to help cement its status as an emerging creative hub while bolstering its on-going place-making efforts? In the report that follows, we address these questions and offer our key findings and recommendations. Buenos Aires’ Creative Assets and Industries Key findings: • Buenos Aires has 142,213 jobs in creative industries (design, technology, audio-visual, and arts and culture) and creative employment is growing at a faster rate than overall employment for the city.

  • Persuasion, Symbols, and Alfajores: a Qualitative Study of Unique Advertising Approaches in Argentina
    Lessard UW-L Journal of Undergraduate Research XII (2009) Persuasion, Symbols, and Alfajores: A Qualitative Study of Unique Advertising Approaches in Argentina Gina Lessard Faculty Sponsor: Scott Dickmeyer, Department of Communication Studies ABSTRACT This study was conducted to gain a deeper understanding of how symbols are used in Argentine advertising and how Argentines interpret these symbols. Expanding on past research, the researcher took a deeper look at how identification is achieved with the use of symbols. The researcher investigated a particularly popular brand of dessert products called Havanna alfajores. Because of the immense popularity of the Havanna organization, the researcher interviewed 300 Argentine participants about their experiences with Havanna alfajores. Employing Strauss & Corbin’s (1990) data analysis technique, the constant comparative analysis, the researcher engaged in a structured and rigorous process of combing the messages from the interviews into five themes that addressed the research questions. The five themes that emerged from the data analysis were: the Sense of Trust that Havanna provides, Havanna facilitates relationships, Havanna is Symbol of Escape, Havanna is the Taste of Argentina, and Havanna Packaging Represents a Gift. The results of this study indicate that Havanna alfajores’ marketing effectively established identification with consumers to the point that they felt a relationship with the company and product. These findings extend Gennaro’s (2007) contention that the majority of meanings humans attach to symbols are not innate. Humans learn meaning as they grow into adulthood while the meanings are passed along members of a culture to younger generations. INTRODUCTION In recent years, the United States’ ethnically diverse population has rapidly increased to represent 30% of the entire population (Rose, 2002).

    GENERAL PROTOCOL FOR COVID-19 PREVENTION In filming/shooting and/or recording and post-production of fictional and documentary content for cinema, television and audiovisual platforms GUIDE OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES TO GRADUALLY AND RESPONSIBLY RESUME ACTIVITIES IN THE WORKPLACE GENERAL PROTOCOL FOR PREVENTION OF COVID-19 GUIDE OF RECOMMENDATIONS TO GRADUALLY AND RESPONSIBLY RESUME ACTIVITIES IN THE AUDIOVISUAL PRODUCTION INDUSTRY PURPOSE As a result of the call made by the Ministry of Culture of Argentina, the representative entities of the Audiovisual Industry jointly propose the following General Protocol, in order to establish the necessary prevention measures to resume the various activities that comprise the audiovisual industry. This document constitutes a guide to preventive measures from which the Audiovisual Industry workers, with the participation of the Trade Unions, Chambers and Audiovisual Professional Associations, plan to gradually resume audiovisual projects and productions. To that end, it will be necessary to implement information systems, action protocols, and raise worker awareness regarding care and information, provision of adequate personal protection elements (PPE) and adoption of the necessary engineering measures in order to ensure a healthy working environment. The measures established in this document were prepared on the basis of the information on COVID-19 available, as established by the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Labor Organization (ILO), the Ministry of Health of Argentina and the Superintendence of Occupational Risks under the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security of Argentina. Thus, they constitute a standard of minimum conditions to be supplemented with additional and specific measures that may be relevant, taking into account the specific characteristics of each location and the processes that are carried out there, as defined by the Occupational Medicine Hygiene and Health Services that each employer has.

Newby: Representations of Argentine National Identity via El Museo Nacio ANTHROPOLOGY: Lindsay Newby REPRESENTATIONS OF ARGENTINE NATIONAL IDENTITY VIA EL MUSEO NACIONAL DE BELLAS ARTES By Lindsay Newby Department of Anthropology Faculty Mentor: Dr. Kirstin Erickson Department of Anthropology Abstract National identity is a concept that every nation constructs and celebrates through the remembrance of important events or persons, the projection of literary works, and the erection of monuments. Yet, in order to truly understand a nation’s self-imagery, one must examine and chart all of its different periods through time. This allows one to avoid narrow, static definitions by viewing a nation in a more holistic sense. In this study, it is hypothesized that museums function to preserve, assert, and disseminate a sense of heritage and, in the case of the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, a sense of what being Argentinean has historically meant and currently signifies during a time of change and uncertainty.

  • Madeleine Achgill September 12, 2016 Thesis Prospectus Introduction “Argentinians Aren't Nationalistic,” My Social And
    Madeleine Achgill September 12, 2016 Thesis prospectus Introduction “Argentinians aren’t nationalistic,” my Social and Political History of Argentina teacher informed me. “If you ask an Argentinian where he’s from he’ll tell you he’s Italian, or Spanish, or German, but not Argentinian,” she told me while the rest of the class of Argentinians nodded in agreement. This assertion surprised me. Outside of Argentina, I had often heard the stereotype that Argentinians are intensely prideful and patriotic. But now my professor was telling me that most citizens would prefer to reject their nationality in favor of their original ancestry. The country’s political and economic problems caused many people to want to distance themselves from the chaos, she said. I started to wonder what this meant about the different levels of assimilation of cultural groups in the country. One of the reasons why I was attracted to Argentina as a study abroad location in the first place was because I viewed it as unique compared to other South American countries. The indigenous traditions and colonial influences I had seen in Ecuador and Peru created cultures starkly different from Argentina, with its 20th century attempts to copy European culture. In addition, Argentina’s history of relaxed immigration policies created a diverse country of Spanish, Italian, German, South African, Jewish, Arab, Chinese, and Japanese communities. The United States was formed in a similar way, but these days most people would consider themselves American first, or perhaps some form of hyphenated (- American) identity. Most people living in the US do not perform the rejection of Americanism that Argentinians apparently do about their nationality.
