    UNIVERSIDAD DEL SALVADOR FACULTAD DE HISTORIA, GEOGRAFÍA Y TURISMO FACULTAD DE HISTORIA, GEOGRAFIA Y TURISMO CARRERA: DOCTORADO EN HISTORIA Año: 2014 OBLIGACIÓN ACADÉMICA: Seminario de Investigación Nombre: Prensa y política (1852-1880) Profesor: Dr. Miguel Ángel De Marco Monografía: El ataque a Paysandú desde tres diarios de Buenos Aires. Prensa y política en una semana (5 al 13 enero de 1865). Doctorando: Facundo Di Vincenzo 1 El ataque a Paysandú desde tres diarios de Buenos Aires. Prensa y política en una semana (5 al 13 enero de 1865). Facundo Di Vincenzo La humanidad de la guerra en esta forma recuerda la fábula del carnero y la liebre. -¿En qué forma prefiere usted ser frita? - Es que no quiero ser frita de ningún modo. - Usted elude la cuestión; no se trata de dejar a usted viva, sino de saber la forma en que debe ser frita y comida. Juan Bautista Alberdi (1870)1 Introducción al tema La guerra de la triple alianza, en donde la República Argentina, el Imperio del Brasil y la República Oriental del Uruguay entran en conflicto bélico contra la República del Paraguay desarrollada entre los años 1864 y 1870, es un acontecimiento trascendental para la historia latinoamericana. Tendrá consecuencias morales y éticas pero también económicas y políticas presentes aún en nuestros días. Sensaciones, sentimientos, remordimientos que perduran sumergidos en el devenir de los años y que salen a la luz con cada derrotero de la historia sudamericana. El conflicto, por un lado hace visible el entramado político y económico por el cual estaban atravesados los cuatro países participantes durante la época, por otro, expone de la forma más cruda las influencias y/o intereses de los diferentes sectores de poder local e internacional vinculados con la nueva ideología económica de alcance mundial: El liberalismo.

En ausencia de una justificación de la intervención uruguaya en la Guerra del Paraguay, fue un representante de los opositores a la misma, Luis A. de Herrera, quien produjo los primeros estudios significativos. Estos estudios, publicados entre 1908 y 1952, atribuyeron las causas de la guerra a la previa invasión de Uruguay por el Gral. Venancio Flores, con apoyo de Argentina y Brasil, y al enfrentamiento estructural entre Buenos Aires y las provincias argentinas, del cual la campaña contra Paraguay habría sido una instancia más. A partir de mediados del siglo XX, el influyente periódico Marcha de Montevideo adhirió a la interpretación de Herrera y la popularizó—aunque mediada por las tesis y teorías de otros autores—entre el público lector uruguayo.

  • URUGUAY 1. General Trends After Slowing for Three Years, the Uruguayan Economy Grew at a Faster Rate in 2017 Than the Year Befor
    Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean ▪ 2018 1 URUGUAY 1. General trends After slowing for three years, the Uruguayan economy grew at a faster rate in 2017 than the year before and posted its fifteenth consecutive year of expansion. According to preliminary figures, gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 2.7% and is expected to expand at a rate of around 2% in 2018. As will be seen later, economic performance was uneven across sectors, with a combination of favourable and less favourable results. On the fiscal front, the Government continued grappling with a persistent overall public sector deficit, which stood at 3.6% of GDP at the end of the year. Despite implementing several contractionary measures since 2015, the Government does not have much more room to rein in spending and has failed to reduce the deficit meaningfully. The global financial situation led to the Uruguayan peso appreciating against the dollar in 2017, while the country’s monetary policy, focused as it is on managing growth in the monetary aggregate M1, was greatly influenced by fluctuations in money demand. Inflation was unusually low throughout the year, which allowed the Government to concentrate on other policy aspects while contributing to improvements in some social indicators. The upturn in economic activity was linked to improved regional and extraregional external demand, a recovery in consumer confidence and a fall in imports. Investment contracted once again, returning to levels seen prior to the commodity supercycle. Regional demand from Brazil, which had been significantly affected by the crisis in that country, showed signs of improving towards the end of 2017, although trade policy challenges remained.

  • INTELLECTUALS and POLITICS in the URUGUAYAN CRISIS, 1960-1973 This Thesis Is Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements
    INTELLECTUALS AND POLITICS IN THE URUGUAYAN CRISIS, 1960-1973 This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Spanish and Latin American Studies at the University of New South Wales 1998 And when words are felt to be deceptive, only violence remains. We are on its threshold. We belong, then, to a generation which experiences Uruguay itself as a problem, which does not accept what has already been done and which, alienated from the usual saving rituals, has been compelled to radically ask itself: What the hell is all this? Alberto Methol Ferré [1958] ‘There’s nothing like Uruguay’ was one politician and journalist’s favourite catchphrase. It started out as the pride and joy of a vision of the nation and ended up as the advertising jingle for a brand of cooking oil. Sic transit gloria mundi. Carlos Martínez Moreno [1971] In this exercise of critical analysis with no available space to create a distance between living and thinking, between the duties of civic involvement and the will towards lucidity and objectivity, the dangers of confusing reality and desire, forecast and hope, are enormous. How can one deny it? However, there are also facts.

  • La Guerra De La Triple Alianza Y El Destino Del Soldado “Mueres En La Guerra O Mueres Por La Enfermedad”
    HISTORIA DE LA MEDICINA La guerra de la triple alianza y el destino del soldado “Mueres en la guerra o mueres por la enfermedad” Dr. Augusto Soiza Larrosa a a) Médico. Especialista en Medicina Legal. Exprofesor Agregado de la Cátedra, Facultad de Medicina de Montevideo, Uruguay. Perito Médico del Poder Judicial, Uruguay; Miembro de Honor y expresidente de la Sociedad Uruguaya de Historia de la Medicina. Miembro de Número del Instituto Histórico y Geográfico del Uruguay. Mayor Médico (Eq) (R) Ex Jefe del Departamento Médico Legal del Hospital Militar. Resumen Este artículo trata de un antecedente poco conocido en la historia de la sanidad militar oriental. En el juego de intereses hegemónicos de la región sudamericana, cuatro naciones se enfrentaron en la “Guerra del Paraguay” o “de la Triple Alianza” (1865 – 1869). Hubo un prólogo: la invasión del territorio oriental, el sitio, bombardeo y toma de Paysandú, no un enfrentamiento de partidos políticos orientales sino la consecuencia obligada de intereses imperialistas regionales. Y con la caída de Paysandú se decidió el destino del estado paraguayo. La orfandad de un servicio auxiliar del ejército para el socorro médico en Paysandú fue elocuente demostración de la penuria por un lado y la negligencia por otro. Se repitió con las fuerzas orientales operando en el Paraguay.
