  • Montevideo, Uruguay, 2 - 3 October 2019
    Report on the IX Reflection Forum 2019 “Building inclusive societies under the new development paradigm” Montevideo, Uruguay, 2 - 3 October 2019 Executive Summary On 2 and 3 October 2019 the IX EU-LAC Reflection Forum took place in Montevideo (Uruguay), jointly organised by the Uruguayan Agency for International Cooperation (AUCI), the Uruguayan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Development Centre of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean of the United Nations (ECLAC), the EUROsociAL+ Programme and the Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB). In accordance with its mandate to promote debate on matters of priority to the EU-LAC Strategic Association and to encourage contributions to the inter-governmental process from the economic and academic sectors and other sectors of civil society, the EU-LAC Foundation regularly organises Reflection Forums in its member states. The specific objectives of the Reflection Forums are: (i) to provide an informal platform for discussion between officials and academic experts and other sectors of civil society, concerning EU-LAC relations, (ii) to discuss progress made and challenges encountered in bi-regional relations and (iii) to feed into analyses with fresh perceptions, as well as to make recommendations for action. Discussions in the Reflection Forums take place under “Chatham House” rules, and the format attempts to generate an atmosphere of respect and mutual trust, thus facilitating the open and informal exchange of points of view and perspectives between the participants, in a truly bi-regional approach. The specific topic of the IX Reflection Forum was: “Building inclusive societies under the new development paradigm”.

  • Creative Mural Landscapes, Building Communities and Resilience in Uruguayan Tourism
    sustainability Article Creative Mural Landscapes, Building Communities and Resilience in Uruguayan Tourism Eva-María Martínez-Carazo 1, Virginia Santamarina-Campos 1,* and María de-Miguel-Molina 2 1 Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage, Universitat Politècnica de València, 46022 Valencia, Spain; [email protected] 2 Department of Business Organisation, Universitat Politècnica de València, 46022 Valencia, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-629729388 Abstract: The purpose of this research was to analyze open-air mural painting museums in Uruguay as a model of tourism resilience, sustainability, and social development, being one of the first Latin American examples to demonstrate the ability to adapt to change and overcome external shocks through the creation of creative community landscapes. To do so, documentary research, photographic documentation, and field research were carried out in order to explore the opportunities of mural tourism in small locations in Uruguay. In the nineties, a new type of artistic production was created in Uruguay, initially characterized by its decentralization. This was somewhat of a revolution in the muralist field as, until this time, Montevideo had been the center of cultural tradition, considered the intellectual focus of the country, and had concentrated the largest number of murals. For this reason, the birth of new muralist nuclei in small rural enclaves, which traditionally had not had much access to culture and no link to muralism, is remarkable. Secondly, this new movement sought to diversify economic activity given the consequences of the severe economic crises and environmental catastrophes that were and are still prevalent in these areas.

  • Experiences in Conservating and Archiving of the Musical Heritage In
    Experiences of University Institutions in the rescue of the heritage in Uruguay By Yoanna Lizett Diaz Vázquez (*) (*) Member of the Research Center in Musical and Performing Arts of the Salto Headquarters, University of the Republic (Udelar), Uruguay 1.- Introduction Reflections from access and collaboration with Documentation Centers and Music Archives linked to the University of the Republic of Uruguay, through the Research Group of the Department of Musicology (GIDMUS) of the University School of Music (EUM) of Uruguay and the Center for Research in Musical and Performing Arts of the Northwest Coast, in the rescue of the musical heritage of Uruguay. Projects developed along with the cooperation of public and private institutions in Uruguay, and international collaboration. In Uruguay, for several years there were difficulties in accessing the public archives by researchers in music; these "had to face several problems: difficulties for a fluid access, the state of preservation of the documents, the absence of guides, catalogs or even listed non systematic. Neither was there, in most public institutions, competent personnel for the treatment of materials in various supports. By the end of the 20th century, almost all of the country's public collections were in serious deterioration, with very few possibilities for access, much less professional management of documents1. 2.- GIDMUS and CIAMEN collaboration projects for rescuting the Urguayan Musical heritage 2.1.- Center of Documentation, Research and Dissemination of the Performing Arts (CIDDAE as Spanish acronym) CIDDAE was created in 2004 just when the Solís' Theater in Montevideo was reopened.

  • 'Garra Charrua' the Unlikely Success of Uruguayan Football
    Kristoffer Grønbakk Kolsrud ‘Garra Charrua’ The unlikely success of Uruguayan football A qualitative study of how 7 professionals describe and experience the Uruguayan culture for player development Master thesis in Sports Science Department of Coaching and Sport Psychology Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, 2018 1 2 Summary This study explores the unique characteristics of the Uruguayan culture for player development in football. The literature on the cultural setting in which player development embedded is scarce, even though many researchers call for more contextual based research. Uruguay with its 3,46 million inhabitants appears to be unique in terms of producing elite football players and achieving results from international competitions with their national team. The purpose of this study was therefore to explore the success of Uruguayan football, which was done through investigating how Uruguayans experience and describe their football culture and how best practice in athlete development is perceived. The study was designed as an explorative case study. The data collection was based on interviews with seven professionals with insight in Uruguayan football (two active players, two ex-professionals, one coach, one football-jurist and one agent) and week of fieldwork in Uruguay, consisting of observations from six games and informal conversations. The Environment Success Factors (Henriksen, 2010) were employed as the conceptual framework for this thesis. The central findings show that the proud history and intense culture for football appears to have created several basic assumptions that facilitate expertise development in Uruguayan football. Within this culture, Uruguayan football players learn numerous psychological skills associated with expertise development in football such as ambition, commitment to succeed, collective efficacy and the ability to manage adversity.

Página 1 de 15 Revista Transcultural de Música Transcultural Music Review #11 (2007) ISSN:1697-0101 An Afrocentric Approach to Musical Performance in the Black South Atlantic: The Candombe Drumming in Uruguay Luis Ferreira[1] Abstract The Candombe drumming by people of African descent in Uruguay is a sound case in the Southern end of the so called Black Atlantic. This paper analyzes style and interactive fluency in the body movements that generate sound and music, following the meanings attributed to each drum by noted expert drum musicians. It is argued how African cultural principles organize the musical performance suggesting that these music and dance practices may be fruitfully approached from an Afrocentered hermeneutical perspective. Further, an argument is advanced about the expressivity, philosophy and values embedded in Candombe drumming performances which responds to African cultural senses as well as encoding a local history of epic resistance and revitalization of consciousness.

  • One-Direction Gaps. Notes on the Origins of Video Art in Uruguay And
    One-direction gaps Notes on the origins of video art in Uruguay and Slovenia (Fragment) Francisco Tomsich Introduction There is a growing interest in comparing art histories from Eastern Europe and South America in the field of visual arts, especially concerning the period from about 1960 to 1989. There are three factors that justify this concern. The first one is the direct relationship between the two regions, partly created by the different waves of migration in both directions and their historical processes, and partly by cultural exchange, linked to them or not. The second one is the confirmation and analysis of certain points in common between South America and Eastern Europe in the field of artistic creation since the 1960s1. The third factor is the "contemporaneity" (PREDA, 2015: 56) of "dictatorial regimes" in several countries from both regions in the 1970s and 1980s, a context in which "strategies for dealing with all kinds of political measures of repression were simultaneously being cultivated" (DRESSLER, 2010)2. We face a set of problems, however, when discussing the Yugoslav case in relation to the third factor in the list, given its peculiar political, economic and social characteristics. This circumstance leads to some authors to distinguish between “the Eastern Bloc, Yugoslavia and South America", for example (DE BAERE, 2012: 2), while Caterina Preda's work in this field of comparative analysis often puts apart Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia because of the relative openness and tolerance of the socialist governments of these two countries towards critical artistic practices (PREDA, 2013: 12). This text deals with some aspects of the origins of video art in Uruguay and Slovenia, two countries which have, despite their enormous differences, certain similarities3.
