Although the trade balance between Denmark and Argentina, historically has been in Argentina’s favour, with Denmark accounting for 0. 62% of total Argentine exports during the last years, Danish investment and presence is quite strong, totaling us$ 1.15 million. In 2003, Argentina was the second largest supplier of honey to Denmark, after Germany, accounting for 23% of total Danish imports. This handbook is aimed at the foreign business-, and investor community, who see Argentina as a potential market. The Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit organisation, whose primary mission is to facilitate trade relations between our two countries, and provide its members with a business forum, and services of value. Having this objective as our top priority, we invited some of our members, experts in their respective fields, to put together this user-friendly handbook, whose main purpose is to offer a wide range of basic information to the foreign businessman. We are also busy revitalising our institutional links with the local export and trade associations, as well as with the other binational Chambers of Commerce, in order to provide our members with the widest possible range of business contacts. During the next few months, there will be various new initiatives taken by the Chamber, to make it more responsive to and representative of its members. Like Argentina, the Chamber is now preparing for a future, in which a stronger bilateral trade relation between our two countries is a reality. Don’t hesitate to contact us for further guidance, and access to our networking base. Bjarne Petersen President 11 This map has been published merely for ilustrativepuposes.

    KEYWORDS: Urban history; nature; La Plata Vol. II, N ° 8 . P p61-70 . (05) EL TRAZADO IDEAL Y LOS CONDICIONANTES NATURALES EN EL DESARROLLO URBANO DE LA PLATA Gustavo Vallejo* Resumen El trazado urbano de La Plata, objeto hoy de gestiones dirigidas a declararlo Patrimonio de la Humanidad, como es sabido ofrece una abrumadora cantidad de certezas en relación a su origen, pudiendo reconocerse incluso cada una de las modificaciones seguidas en la etapa de proyectación tras producirse el encargo de Rocha al Departamento de Ingenieros de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, a través de la abundante cantidad de documentos cartográficos que trabajos históricos como los de Morosi (1983) y De Paula (1987) se encargaron de reunir. Sin embargo menos conocido resulta el modo en que, aquello que Martínez Estrada calificaría como un mero “espacio geométrico”, “la categoría apriorístiea de una serie de fenómenos” que debían aparecer para darle vida, se corporizó, superando la tensión implícita de un proceso que tiene a su racionalidad, imponiéndose o adaptándose a las características naturales del sitio en el que fue implantado. Abstract The urban trace of La Plata is actually objet of efforts to declare it Heritage of Humanity. It offers an overwhelming quantity of certainties in relation with their origin from the commission of Rocha to Dcpartamento de Ingenicros. On that trace we can recognize each one of the modifications that it suffered during the proyectacion stage in the abundant quantity of cartographic documents compiled by Morosi (1983) and De Paula (1987). However less, the form of corporization of that “geometric space” or “the aprioristic category of a series of phenomenons”, as Martinez Estrada said, is less known.

Fernando Aliata 29 de abril de 2005 – 12:30 horas SEMINARIO DE CRITICA Palacios sin reyes. Edilicia pública para la “capital permanente”. Buenos Aires 1880-1890* Tesis doctoral (diciembre 2004) Fragmentos. Dra. Claudia Shmidt Director. Arq. Jorge Francisco Liernur Los fragmentos han sido tomados de la introducción y del capítulo 3. *Registro de Propiedad Intelectual. Ley 11723 Capítulo 1. (fragmento) Introducción. Con la sanción del decreto de federalización de Buenos Aires, el 6 de diciembre de 1880 la llamada cuestión capital quedaría resuelta, luego de los sucesos que dieron como resultado la derrota del gobernador de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Carlos Tejedor y el ascenso al poder de Julio A. Roca. Dejando un saldo de 2.500 víctimas entre muertos y heridos, más de 20.000 hombres protagonizaron el capítulo más violento en el proceso por la definición del sitio para la “residencia de las autoridades” en la Argentina, luego de setenta años de disputas. La batalla por Buenos Aires fue el corolario de una larga contienda entre el gobierno nacional y provincial; entre civiles y militares; entre partidos políticos; entre personajes antagónicos; entre distintos sectores de poder económico; pero también fue, sin duda, una lucha por un lugar , por una ciudad , que reuniera además, las condiciones materiales para ser la sede de un gobierno federal. Desde las guerras por la independencia de Argentina, Buenos Aires se desarrolló en base a su afirmación como “cabeza”, como centro de acumulación de poder, como puerto y contralor del intercambio.

  • Documenting Argentina Danish: Discussion of Methods of Fieldwork and Data Sampling in Little Known Rural Communities South of Buenos Aires
    Documenting Argentina Danish: Discussion of methods of fieldwork and data sampling in little known rural communities south of Buenos Aires USA and Argentina have been the primary destinations for the massive emigration from Denmark in the period 1870 to 1930: Approximately 13,000 Danes migrated to Argentina between 1871 and 1930. Around 8000 settled on the pampa south of Buenos Aires (Bjerg 2001: 32) and in a recent survey, Pærregaard (2009: 185) estimates that around 50.000 people consider themselves as Argentina Danes. This indicates that there is a relatively strong ethnic and/or cultural identity, or at least a strong knowledge about the Danish heritage. The migration from Denmark to Argentina was characterized by family emigration, many from the island of Lolland. The Protestant Danes centered their settlements on the pampa in the so-called Danes triangle between the towns Tandil, Necochea and Tres Arroyos, 350-400 km south of Buenos Aires. They formed relatively closed rural communities, building up a reputation as capable farmers, but somewhat separating themselves from the surrounding Catholic society. The closedness of the Argentina Danish community, together with the settlement pattern, seems to explain why there are probably a few thousands Argentina Danes who still speak Danish in their daily lives. They are 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants, but it is reported that even in the 4th and 5th generation it is possible to find people of Danish origin who (to some extent) still speak Danish. Nevertheless, the situation of the Danish language today seems to one of gradual language death, triggered by the interruption of intergenerational transfer (Møller 2007; Sigvardt & Nicolaisen 2011).

    ANTECEDENTES Y CONSTRUCCIÓN DE LA CRIPTA DE DARDO ROCHA Y PAULA ARANA DE ROCHA EN LA CATEDRAL DE LA PLATA, PROVINCIA DE BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA BACKGROUND AND BUILDING OF THE CRYPT OF DARDO ROCHA AND PAULA ARANA DE ROCHA IN LA PLATA CATHEDRAL, BUENOS AIRES PROVINCE, ARGENTINA V.G. Rosato1, R. Lofeudo2 1.- Investigadora Adjunta CONICET-LEMIT 2.- CIC-LEMIT RESUMEN 61 A fines del siglo XIX y primera mitad del siglo XX, diversos representantes de la alta sociedad argentina fueron sepultados en criptas por tener títulos pontificios o haber donado iglesias, pero el caso del Dr. Dardo Rocha y su esposa Paula Arana de Rocha es totalmente distinto. En un primer momento, los restos del destacado político y militar, que fue Gobernador de la Provincia de Buenos Aires y fundador de La Plata, se depositaron en el Cementerio de la Recoleta en la bóveda de la familia Rocha junto a los de su esposa, tal como él mismo lo había solicitado. Aduciendo este argumento, los descendientes se negaron al traslado a la Catedral de La Plata, como lo solicitaban el gobierno provincial y los habitantes de la ciudad, que deseaban rendirle un justo homenaje. Finalmente, en el año 1940, se decide el traslado mediante Decreto 239 del 17 de julio, que se concreta el 19 de noviembre de ese año. Esto significó la necesidad de adaptar la estructura de hormigón que sostiene el piso de la Catedral, quedando las vigas y columnas encubiertas por elementos neogóticos revestidos en símil piedra. Como no se había completado la cripta prevista debajo del presbiterio (obra no realizada), usual en las catedrales neo medievales, se dispuso que provisoriamente se preparara un espacio adecuado debajo del ingreso de la nave, donde se encuentra en la actualidad.

  • Comparing Danish Late-Generation Ethnicity in America and Argentina
    Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Studies Copyright 2019 2019, Vol. 6, No. 3, 27-40 ISSN: 2149-1291 http://dx.doi.org/10.29333/ejecs/251 Transmissions And Transformations: Comparing Danish Late-generation Ethnicity In America And Argentina Pernille Skovgaard Christensen1 and Trine Lund Thomsen2 Department of Culture and Learning, Aalborg University, Denmark Abstract: This article explores the ethnic practices and self-perceptions of later generations of Danish immigrant descendants in the USA and Argentina. Through investigating their involvement in ethnic organisations and expressions of self- identification, it engages in a concurrent debate on how ethnicity appears in those, perhaps, final stages. The comparison between later generation ethnics in the two countries shows remarkable differences, despite similar backgrounds and comparable generational stages. The study also shows, however, that possibilities for exploring ethnicity seem crucial to later self-identification. Ultimately, therefore, this seems to play a central role in defining the contours of the acculturation process through the generations. Keywords: biographical narratives, Danishness, ethnic identity, ethnic practices, intergenerational transmission, late-generation ethnics. Introduction Between 1850 and 1924, massive waves of European migrants crossed the Atlantic in search of cheap land, wealth and freedom towards the West. Most of these, about 34 million, settled in America, including roughly 300.000 Danes - the equivalent of 10% of the Denmark’s population at the time (Hvidt, 1976). Substantial numbers, however, chose other destinations, such as Argentina. Today, the descendants of the European migrants in the 4th, 5th and 6th generation are what some scholars term ‘late-generation ethnics’ (LGE’s). Herbert Gans (2014) claims that LGE’s in America are typically products of several ethnic intermarriages, and as they have multi-ethnic origins many have little memory, if any, of their immigrant ancestors.

  • La Arquitectura “Monumental” De La Ciudad De La Plata a Traves Del Ejercicio Independiente De Los Profesionales Italianos Durante El Periodo Fundacional
    LA ARQUITECTURA “MONUMENTAL” DE LA CIUDAD DE LA PLATA A TRAVES DEL EJERCICIO INDEPENDIENTE DE LOS PROFESIONALES ITALIANOS DURANTE EL PERIODO FUNDACIONAL. EL CASO DEL “EJE AVENIDA MONTEVERDE” Arq. Fabiana Andrea Carbonari1 (FAU - UNLP) Este trabajo forma parte del proyecto de investigación “La vida de los edificios. Transformaciones y devenir histórico de la arquitectura “monumental” de la ciudad de La Plata”2, que se desarrolla en el HiTePAC –Historia, Teoría y Praxis de la Arquitectura y la Ciudad, Instituto de Investigación--. En forma paralela, constituye uno de los lineamientos del Trabajo Final de Carrera3 “Presencia italiana en la conformación del paisaje urbano fundacional de la ciudad de La Plata (1882-1932)”, que he presentado y ha sido evaluado favorablemente durante el ciclo lectivo 2009. Actualmente podemos considerar que el patrimonio construido fundacional de la ciudad de La Plata es producto tangible que hunde sus raíces en las múltiples y complejas relaciones que se dan al finalizar el siglo XIX en el medio local. En virtud de ello para poder abordar su estudio es necesario implementar, como metodología de trabajo, la indagación profunda de las vinculaciones existentes entre el orden político, el socio-cultural, las tendencias productivas y el tratamiento de las estructuras urbano-territoriales. El paisaje urbano4 y las arquitecturas que lo caracterizan, entendidos como espacios de representación del orden gubernamental en un medio en formación, llegarán a ser materializados a través del significativo aporte inmigratorio. En virtud de la heterogeneidad y amplitud del que entendemos como período fundacional –los cincuenta primeros años de vida de la “Nueva Capital” - así como a la disparidad de estudios y bibliografía que se ocupan de la cuestión, se propone, para esta presentación, un recorte temático y temporal referido exclusivamente al rol cumplido por los profesionales italianos durante la etapa inmediata al momento de la fundación de la ciudad de La Plata en un sector característico del Casco Urbano.

María L. Leguizamón.- FUNDAMENTOS Señor Presidente: Algunas de las palabras pronunciadas por el fundador de La Plata, Dardo Rocha, al momento de colocar la piedra fundamental de la nueva comuna el 19 de noviembre de 1882 fueron: "Hemos dado a la nueva capital el nombre del río magnífico que la baña, y depositamos bajo esta piedra, esperando que aquí queden sepultadas para siempre, las rivalidades, los odios, los rencores, y todas las pasiones que han retardado por tanto tiempo la prosperidad de nuestro país". Este fragmento del discurso de Dardo Rocha supo sintetizar la historia que llevó a crear la flamante ciudad, considerada como una prenda de la unión nacional; y a la vez poner en evidencia la esperanza en su porvenir. El proceso político que conduce a la fundación de La Plata se inicia en febrero de 1880, con la sanción de la ley que proclamaba a la ciudad de Buenos aires, hasta entonces capital de la provincia del mismo nombre, Capital Federal de la República Argentina. La cesión a la Nación de la ciudad puerto provocó una división entre los hombres públicos de la provincia; el enfrentamiento entre autoridades nacionales y provinciales no tardó en producirse.

  • “Modern Argentina”: the Political Debates of the 1880S
    Ideological Tensions in the Foundational Decade of “Modern Argentina”: The Political Debates of the 1880s Paula Alonso Standard historiography states that between 1880 and 1916, Argentina under- went a profound social and economic transformation led by a hegemonic political party, the Partido Autonomista Nacional (PAN). This transformation has been portrayed as the achievement of a generation of public men, the Generation of Eighty, who envisioned a project that would integrate Argentina into the social and economic changes occurring in the transatlantic world. The 1880s — with record levels of immigration, foreign investment, the triumph of the PAN, and the strengthening of the state — have generally been characterized as a crucial decade in consolidating the main hallmarks of “Modern Argentina.”1 Sections of this paper were presented at the symposium “Construcciones Impresas. Diarios, periódicos y revistas en la formación de los estados nacionales en América Latina y Estados Unidos (1820 – 1920),” Universidad de San Andrés, Buenos Aires, May 2002; at the “Jornadas sobre la Crisis de 1890” conference, Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, August 2003; and at the Latin American Studies Center of the University of Maryland in December 2003. The final version was presented at the Boston Area Latin American History Workshop at the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, Harvard University, April 2004. I would like to thank the comments received on these occasions, as well as thank Ezequiel Gallo, Natalio Botana, Paula Bruno, Charles Hale, Tulio Halperin Donghi, and Darío Roldán for comments on preliminary drafts and Stephanie Bowers and Robert Barros for a careful reading of the final version.
