JONATHAN FRANKLIN attends a few matches and visits the Boca Juniors cemetery in Buenos Aires, and attempts to understand the profound dedication of football's most passionate fans Photographs by Morten Anderson 114 AUGUST 2007 ROGUE MAGAZINE ROGUE MAGAZINE AUGUST 2007 115 investigation OFF THE WALL The wild Boca Juniors fans are some of the most passionate in the world. When Boca Juniors, the Argentine football club, scores a goal inside their home stadium, La Bombonera, thousands of fans toss yellow and blue confetti, dozens launch firework rockets, and a few throw plastic bags onto the pitch—inside these bags are human ashes, pulverized bones, and the remains of dead fans.

    IMPACTO DE LAS CONSTRUCCIONES DE HORMIGÓN EN EL PAISAJE URBANO. IMPACT OF CONCRETE CONSTRUCTIONS ON THE URBAN LANDSCAPE. Anahí López1-2, Alejandro R. Di Sarli3, Luis P. Traversa4 1 Investigador Asistente. CICPBA - [email protected] 2 UTN-FRLP/LEMaC, La Plata, Argentina. Docente-Investigador UTN 3 Investigador Emérito CONICET - CIDEPINT. 4 Investigador Emérito CICPBA - LEMIT - RESUMEN 69 El hormigón es un material de construcción que ha evolucionado de acuerdo con las necesidades políticas, sociales, económicas y tecnológicas de cada país o región. Debido a las diversas funcionalidades, su impacto social puede adquirir un carácter artístico o histórico a través de los monumentos, esculturas o mobiliario urbano que integran el paisaje construido. Además, es una alternativa que permite materializar pensamientos al involucrarlo como una pasta que modela, es decir, un material sin forma que toma la del molde que lo contiene y cuya apariencia final está condicionada por el tipo de terminación. Este trabajo presenta tres casos antagónicos entre sí y ejecutados en diferentes momentos históricos. Las obras de carácter innovador impactaron en el paisaje según valores tangibles e intangibles y, además, demostraron la versatilidad de las mezclas hechas con cemento. El primer caso es el Nuevo Teatro Argentino, ubicado en la ciudad de La Plata, construido después de la destrucción del original; el segundo es el Puente de la Mujer (Arq. Ing. Calatrava) y, finalmente, el plan de urbanización pensado por el Gobernador M. Fresco a fines de la década del 30 y ejecutado por el Arq. Ing. F. Salamone.

En el campo de los estudios sobre megaeventos, este artículo recupera un caso de menor escala, proyección y poco estudiado. Los JOJ 2018 resulta- ron propicios para la experimentación y producción de una nueva imagen de la ciudad, de su gobierno y de las intervenciones urbanas. A partir de la reconstrucción de los apoyos políticos locales e internacionales, los JOJ 2018 son interpretados como un punto de inflexión en la carrera de Buenos Aires como posible sede olímpica. En este marco, se indagan las carreras de dos empresarios que articulan negocios, deporte y política y se estudia la producción de una imagen de la ciudad de Buenos Aires como candidata y espacio turístico saludable.
