Sobre Héroes Y Tumbas the Park and Political Logics of Memory in Argentina sobre héroes y tumbas the park and political logics of memory in argentina daniel james for the degree of doctor of philosophy in sociology at the london school of economics 101,571 words 1 declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others. I consider the work submitted to be a complete thesis fit for examination. I authorise that, if a degree is awarded, an electronic copy of my thesis will be deposited in LSE Theses Online (in accordance with the published deposit agreement) held by the British Library of Political and Economic Science and that, except as provided for in regulation 41, it will be made available for public reference. I authorise the School to supply a copy of the abstract of my thesis for inclusion in any published list of theses offered for higher degrees in British universities or in any supplement thereto, or for consultation in any central file of abstracts of such theses. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. In accordance with the Regulations, I have deposited an electronic copy of it in LSE Theses Online held by the British Library of Political and Economic Science and have granted permission for my thesis to be made available for public reference. Otherwise, this thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. 2 abstract The memory of the disappeared in Argentina is heavily and historically regulated and framed. We can use landscapes of memory as a prism to reconstruct the wider constitutive field of memory through which the reality of the past has been framed. By reconstructing this field, we can trace the discourses and logics of memory according to which meaning has come to be attributed to the past and a project for a future politics has been delineated. A study of the Parque de la Memoria reveals that Argentine collective memory has a cultural biography in which it tends towards two politics logics of memory which shape – and are shaped by – the concrete interventions over time and space of human rights actors and the understanding of the past among the wider interpellated Argentine public who situate within it in an expanded field. As a politics shaped by memory and mourning, the politics of transition in Argentina is revealed to be paradoxically emptied out of politics. Whether human rights groups choose to remember the desparecidos as innocent victims or 30,000 revolutionaries, so as to advance a social grieving or a politics of grievance, there is a lacuna at the heart of the memory of the disappeared as to who the disappeared really were. Though we find images and narrative discourses of quotidian humanity and political activism, we do not find the two together. The political logics of memory that have regulated the memory of the disappeared do not correspond to the reason of human rights groups, however, but that of society. The ontological subjects of the disappeared have been socially constructed in and through this memory as subjects that this society was willing to recognise and remember, with lasting implications for Argentine society and politics that continue to this day. 3 acknowledgements I am grateful to many people for their encouragement and support during the writing of this thesis. Firstly, I should like to thank Professors Chetan Bhatt, Bridget Hutter and Mike Savage. When British universities have completed their neoliberal sweep and turn to look back at what they are missing, the answer will be academics like these. There is no substitute for knowledge amidst all the research framework exercises and management-speak and no greater privilege than studying under the tutelage of those who are generous with theirs in support of an extended piece of research. Professor Bhatt said he would be ‘very delighted’ to take on my supervision. I am very delighted that he did. It was a privilege to study under his guidance. I was fortunate to study as a member of a close-knit group of researchers at the LSE. Peter Manning, Paz Concha, Sian Lewin, Haneen Naamneh, Ed Pertwee, Katherina Hecht, Anna Matczak, Nicolás Silva Valenzuela and Sara Bradshaw were a pleasure to work alongside and a valuable help when things started to go wrong. Zoe Gillard, Sara Ulfsparre and Heidi El-Megrisi in the Centre for the Study of Human Rights were always considerate with their time. Every department should have its Hilary Stauffer or Imara Ajani Rolston, whose enthusiasm is outrageous and important. When my own enthusiasm threatened to get the better of me several people pointed me in the right direction. I would like to thank Professors Tony Walter, David Matless and Leonor Arfuch in Bath, Nottingham and Buenos Aires respectively, and Dr. Silke Arnold-de Simini at Birkbeck, for making the time to meet with me to discuss my ideas. This research was funded in large part through a generous grant from the Economic and Social Research Council. I am very grateful to the ESRC for their support. I am grateful to Dr. Claire Moon for her help, particularly with the application for this funding. I am also thankful to my family and friends for their encouragement. I could not have hoped to meet more inspirational people during the writing of the thesis than Graciela, Mirta, Vera, Taty, Nora, Mercedes, Marcelo, Claudio, Ceferino, Gabriela, Rubén, Bob, Andrew and all those I spoke to during my time in Argentina. I am indebted to them for sharing their experiences and their ideas with me. I don’t think they will agree with my findings. But that is part of what makes Argentina so very special. Finally, I should like to thank Ayşe Metin. It is because of Ayşe that it was completed at all. I dedicate it to her. 4 Was ever an immolation so belied As these intolerably nameless names?

  • The Veladero High-Sulfidation Epithermal Au-Ag Deposit
    THE VELADERO HIGH-SULFIDATION EPITHERMAL AU-AG DEPOSIT, ARGENTINA: VOLCANIC STRATIGRAPHY, ALTERATION, MINERALIZATION, AND QUARTZ PARAGENESIS by Elizabeth A. Holley A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date _________________ Signed:___________________________ Elizabeth A. Holley Signed:___________________________ Dr. Thomas Monecke Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date _________________ Signed:___________________________ Dr. J. D. Humphrey Associate Professor and Head Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT The Veladero Au-Ag high-sulfidation epithermal deposit is located in the El Indio-Pasuca belt in Argentina. Veladero is an oxidized deposit that contained reserves of 12.2 Moz of Au and 226.2 Moz of Ag at the end of 2008. Ore is primarily hosted in silicified breccias. The volcanic package at Veladero is a coalescing complex of domes, diatremes, and hydrothermal breccia bodies, mantled by a thick apron of volcaniclastic deposits. These units are inferred to be of Cerro de las Tórtolas age (16.0 ± 0.2 to 14.9 ± 0.7 Ma) at Amable in the southern part of the Veladero area, and Vacas Heladas age (12.7 ± 0.9 to 11.0 ± 0.2 Ma) at Filo Federico in the northern part of Veladero. Emplacement of hydrothermal breccia units was accompanied or shortly followed by multiple pulses of magmatic-hydrothermal and alternating jarosite alteration from about 15.4 to 8.9 Ma. Alunite and jarosite 40Ar-39Ar ages and U-Pb zircon ages of crosscutting dikes restrict mineralization at Amable to the period from 15.4 to 12.14 0.11 Ma, probably commencing closer to 12.7 Ma.

  • Buenos Aires 04 8 Days / 7 Nights
    Buenos Aires 04 8 Days / 7 Nights Day 01 - Buenos Aires Reception at the airport and private transportation service to the chosen hotel with bilingual guide. In the afternoon, we will enjoy the “Tango Tour: Tango as a Porteño Cultural Symbol” excursion in a private service with a bilingual guide expert in Tango History. We will start our visit to the suburb of old Buenos Aires, where the city bordered the countryside. We will continue to La Boca, harbor area neighborhood of working class people, where most of the Genoese immigrants settled down at the end of 19th century. There, we will visit one of its typical “conventillos”, tenement houses where numerous families lived; they had different origins but the same reality: Poverty. Tango was growing, from slums to downtown; first, thanks to traditional theater; then, thanks to the birth of radio. Thus, tango started to enjoy a tremendous popularity, until it disembarked in Corrientes Street, site of the main musical shows, named “the street that never sleeps” due to its frantic activity. Since then, tango is considered the “porteño” cultural symbol par excellence. After walking round Corrientes Street, we will visit the Palais de Glace, an elegant hall where high-class people started to dance tango; thanks to them Tango reached Europe. The definitive internationalization of tango took place when Carlos Gardel, the greatest tango singer ever, took it to the big screen of Hollywood. Finally, we will visit Abasto, birthplace of Carlos Gardel. Formerly a slum, then one of the “rebellious” neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, today it seems to resist the efforts that have been done (the construction of Abasto Shopping and the setting up of international hotels in the area) to integrate it 1 to the mainstream tourist circuit.

Zboray, Professor, Department of Communication ii Copyright © by David W. Seitz 2011 iii GRAVE NEGOTIATIONS: THE RHETORICAL FOUNDATIONS OF AMERICAN WORLD WAR I CEMETERIES IN EUROPE David W. Seitz, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2011 This dissertation uncovers the processes of negotiation between private citizens, President Woodrow Wilson’s administration, the War Department, and the Commission of Fine Arts that led to the establishment and final visual presentation of the United States permanent World War I cemeteries in Europe (sites that are still frequented by tens of thousands of international visitors each year). It employs archival research and the analysis of newspapers and photographs to recover the voices of the many stakeholders involved in the cemeteries’ foundation. Whereas previous studies have attempted to understand American World War I commemoration practices by focusing on postwar rituals of remembrance alone, my study contextualizes and explains postwar commemoration by analyzing the political ideologies, public rhetoric, and material realities of the war years (1914-1918)—ideologies, rhetoric, and material realities that shaped official and vernacular projects of memory after the Armistice.
