Azucena Villaflor, the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, and Struggle to End Disappearances Abstract Azucena Villaflor, a poor Argentine woman with little ducae tion did more than any other person to place the problem of “disappearances” on the world’s agenda. In 1977, Villaflor led in creating the Mother of the Plaza de Mayo to protest the Argentine’s dictators disappearing of thousands of its own citizens. A person is “disappeared” when a government or its agents kills that person, hides their remains, and denies any knowledge of their whereabouts. Thousands were disappeared by Argentina’s dictatorship between 1977 and 1983; thousands of others have been disappeared around this world. The orkw Villaflor ts ated led to the creations of the United Nations’ International Convention for the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearances and to the universal condemnation of disappearances.

ROCK SUBVERSIVO THE RESPONSE OF ARGENTINA ’S YOUTH TO EL PROCESO Augustin Diz Introduction In Argentina today, the memory of the military government that ruled between the years 1976 and 1983 remains a sharp one. The question of repa - rations for those who disappeared as a consequence of state or guerrilla ter - rorism remains hotly debated. “Repression” and “oppression” have strong connotations linked to the violence of the military regime. It was a sad time in Argentine history, one that many have not been able to forget. The period was marked by sharp social divisions, disorder, and moral confusion ; in - deed , many Argentines were afraid to articulate their views out of fear of retribution from either the state or armed guerillas groups. In spite of this fear, Argentines needed to find ways to express themselves. If nothing else, they needed a medium through which to voice their innermost concerns and anxieties, political or otherwise . Artistic and cultural expressions, such as lit - erature or music, offered such a medium and, as a result, they soon became highly politicized.

  • Buenos Aires
    CONSEJOS PRÁCTICOS-BUENOS AIRES CONSEJOS PRÁCTICOS DE BECARIOS EN 2019 Situación geográfica de la ciudad: Buenos Aires, capital de la República Argentina, se halla ubicada en el hemisferio sur del continente americano sobre un terreno llano y con una superficie de 202 km cuadrados. Se estima la cantidad de habitantes en 3 millones de personas; sumando la población del área metropolitana el número asciende superando los 10 millones de habitantes, siendo uno de los 10 centros urbanos más poblados del mundo. Los límites naturales de la ciudad son el Río de la Plata y el Riachuelo hacia el este y el sur. Bordea la ciudad la Avenida General Paz de norte a oeste, que conecta de manera rápida con el Gran Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires se divide entre capital y provincias. Personalmente lo auténtico está en provincia pero andar por la capital requiere de sellar cosas típicas del país. Las personas de Buenos Aires te hablan de la división de tres anillos, siendo el primero el centro, y luego otros dos que rodean. Según en qué anillo vivas, estarás más cerca o lejos del corazón de la ciudad, también de las partes más turísticas, y quizás más empapadas de la cultura europea. Transporte El transporte público de Buenos Aires está centralizado con una tarjeta llamada “sube” se puede adquirir en muchos lugares, pero para la sorpresa, en las estaciones de tren no las suelen vender, tienes que intentar en kioskos, librerías o tiendas donde haya un cartel que ponga “sube”. Después, algo que te salvará la vida en muchas ocasiones es el “UBER”, cuando estés muy perdida, o llegues tarde a causa del transporte público, piensa que los precios son más baratos desde nuestra perspectiva europea, y en alguna ocasión de mal temporal es una forma segura y rápida de moverse ya que queda registrado en todo momento el trayecto, la matrícula del conductor, etc.
