Título: Federalism, intergovernmental conflict, and the COVID-19 crises in Latin America Autor: González, Lucas I. Resumen: The COVID-19 pandemic posed enormous challenges for governments worldwide to coordinate response efforts, particularly in federal countries. Without observing a clear relationship between federal and unitary countries and the number of deaths from COVID-19 in previous studies, this article explores whether conflicts (or cooperation) between levels of government are associated with more deaths. It codes intergovernmental conflicts examining at least three newspapers every day during the first year of the pandemic in eighteen Latin American countries. Controlling for demographic and socioeconomic variables, results from a regression analysis show a temporal relationship between conflicts and more deaths. The case studies contrast two federations, Argentina and Brazil, with a unitary country, Uruguay, to explore the effects of different forms of cooperation and conflicts. The article concludes by raising some comparative implications for health policies in federal and unitary countries.

Título: Asterisms and time cycles: perspectives from Central West Chaco Autor: Gómez, Cecilia P. Resumen: This chapter describes the asterisms which, to date, we have been able to identify in collaboration with the Toba and Wichi Indians of western Formosa Province. In some cases, we also comment on asterisms traced in the specific bibliography. This serves, above all, as the basis for looking into the associations created between some of these objects and cyclical temporality, which has undergone some changes that, in theory, seem to be related to the unequal relationship established with Western society. However, we also expound on how this new way of expressing and even pacing the time cycles draws from the knowledge inherited from the ancients.

Título: Oro bianco, oro nero: un esercito di donne nelle piantagioni (Chaco & Amazzonia) Autor: Franceschi, Zelda Alice; Córdoba, Lorena Resumen: In this essay, the authors offer the reader some photographs. They are images portraying women in the Bolivian Amazon in the early 20th century and in the contemporary Indigenous Chaco (Argentina), respectively. The photographs offer an analysis of the two extractive contexts (rubber in the Amazon and cotton in the Chaco) through the unseen gaze of Indigenous, European-white, Immigrant and Creole women. They have been completely marginalised and erased from ethnographic and historical sources. The photographs offer an unusual interpretation of the intersectional dynamics of class, gender and race.

Título: Temporal cycles and their relationship with the sky among the Toba of Western Formosa, Argentina Autor: Gómez, Cecilia Paula Resumen: From an ethnographic point of view we propose a work that is encompassed within the field of cultural astronomy, focusing on the Toba who inhabit the middle Pilcomayo in Argentina. In this article, we will be researching the ways in which different time cycles have been reported to elapse for the Toba of Western Formosa, Argentina. For our research into these periods, we consider first of all the interpretations made about the sky, but also various environmental signals, like climate changes, and signs given by animals (their singing or sounds made by some of them). Therefore, in this work specifically, we will refer to: the stars in general, Orion’s Belt, the Pleiades, Venus, the Moon and the Sun.
