  • Geopolitical Representations: Chile and Argentina in the Campos De Hielo Sur1
    Karen Isabel Manzano Iturra/Geopolitical representations: Chile and Argentina Geopolitical representations: Chile and Argentina in the Campos de Hielo Sur1 Representaciones geopolíticas: Chile y Argentina en Campos de Hielo Sur Karen Isabel Manzano Iturra* Received: March 11, 2015. Approved: October 1, 2015. Abstract From a concept first articulated by Rudolf Kjellén in 1917, geopolitics has continuously evolved up to the present. The incorporation of the initial representation has been of vital importance in the analysis of different territorial conflicts. Through a geopolitical analysis, this article aims to understand the geopolitical representations in the area of the Campos de Hielo Sur, the last boundary issue that remains pending between Chile and Argentina, in addition to the manner in which both countries have debated this issue, on the basis of a number of representations in which maps have generated the image of one state facing the other, thus privileging competition between them. Keywords: geopolitics, representation, conflict, maps, image. Resumen La geopolítica, desde el concepto acuñado en 1917 por Rudolf Kjellén, ha estado en continua evolución hasta el día de hoy. Desde la incorporación de las representaciones, la primera ha sido de vital importancia en los análisis de diferentes conflictos territoriales. A través de un análisis geopolítico es que en el presente artículo se pretende comprender las representaciones geopolíticas en la zona de Campos de Hielo Sur, el último problema de límites que aún se mantiene en suspenso entre Chile y Argentina y el cómo es que ambos países han discutido el problema a partir de una serie de representaciones en las que los mapas han constituido la imagen del uno frente al otro, privilegiándose de este modo la competencia entre los Estados.

    The Origins of Design Education in Latin America: From the hfg in Ulm to Globalization1 Silvia Fernández During the 1960s and ‘70s, the economies of Latin American coun- tries, whether socialist, liberal, or conservative, generally reoriented themselves towards a policy of import substitution and industrial development. Design was placed within this overall industrial policy. The creation of the first institutions for design education proliferated. This reform was never completed, however. From the 1980s on, Latin America was dragged into globalization and a policy of foreign debts that generated a new form of dependence. The current deep economic crisis in Latin America opens a space for critical reflection including, by extension, the role of design. The Hochschule für Gestaltung (hfg) ulm is a starting point because it had a great influence on the propagation of design education and design discourse in Latin America. What were the contextual conditions that made this influ- ence possible? 1. The emphasis on industrialization was imposed by a change in foreign trade conditions. (Argentina, for exam- ple, was the victim of a trade blockade imposed by the European Community.)2 2. Governments, as a response to the dilemma of underdevel- opment, formulated policies of national industrial upgrad- ing, with management policies and the utilization of human resources, which included design as a profession. 3. The local artistic avant-garde already had begun, in the early 1950s, to withdraw from traditional art, and extended 1 This research has been carried out using their activities to the new field design. bibliographies, published works, works- 4.

    GOLD MEDAL WINE CLUB Taste the Adventure! Argentina ARGENTINA WELCOMES A NEW ERA OF BOUTIQUE PRODUCERS AND FINDS ITS PLACE IN THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET. Like many wine producing countries, Argentina can trace its wines back many centuries. The first plantings were recorded around 1550, when Spanish colonizers rooted the first vitis vinifera vines in the country. Aided by the favorable weather conditions of the Andes Mountains, the vines quickly spread to a number of areas throughout the country. An influx of European immigrants during the 19th Century brought new winemaking techniques and additional grape varietals to the existing vineyards. By the start of the 20th Century, more than 500,000 acres were planted, mostly for local consumption. Large production plants were located in key areas that provided crucial consumption areas with a plentiful supply of Argentine wine. Introduction of soft drinks and beer into the country caused the local wine consumption market to collapse in the 1970’s. By the early 1990’s, a new era for the Argentine wine industry was formalized. Small quantities of high caliber wines were produced, with an eye toward export and the high end of local consumption. As in many other countries, this format has proven to be an enormous success. Smallish, boutique-like wineries have won their place in international competitions with quality wines that accurately reflect the terroir of their individual locations. Argentina has quickly become the largest exporter of wine in South America, and its southern hemisphere location’s growing season (October through February) gives it a head start on European and American growing competitors.
