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. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/20066 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. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/20046 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. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/19992 Título: Movilidad en tiempos prehispánicos y post-hispánicos en la Quebrada de la Cueva, provincia de Jujuy, Argentina; Mobility in pre-Hispanic and post-Hispanic times in La Cueva Gorge, Province of Jujuy, Argentina Autor: Ramundo, Paola Silvia; Bahr, María Cecilia Resumen: La quebrada de La Cueva ha sido un espacio excepcional para vivir de forma permanente en etapas prehispánicas y post-hispánicas. Esto se evidencia por sus sitios arqueológicos con una larga secuencia de ocupación (Pukara de La Cueva, Pueblo Viejo del Morado, Antigüito y Pueblo Viejo de La Cueva). Así como también, porque en la localidad de La Cueva funcionó una posta colonial, cuyo uso se extendió –al menos– hasta tiempos Independentistas. Además, en el siglo XVIII, La Cueva fue un epicentro atractivo para pobladores de lugares cercanos y lejanos que se establecieron en el pueblo del mismo nombre o recurrían a su iglesia (Nuestra Señora de la Concepción) para ser bautizados, contraer matrimonio, así como también fue el espacio elegido para los entierros de diferentes actores sociales, posiblemente porque habría sido un centro económico de la región. Toda la evidencia arqueológica y documental, estudiada con el objetivo de analizar y comparar la existencia de movilidad o circulación dentro y fuera de la quebrada, demuestra la vinculación entre dicha quebrada con la Puna Jujeña, Yungas, otros sectores de la Quebrada de Humahuaca, y países limítrofes, como Chile, Bolivia y Perú.; The Quebrada de La Cueva has been an exceptional space for permanent habitation during both pre-Hispanic and post-Hispanic times. This is evidenced by its archaeological sites with a long sequence of occupation (Pukara de La Cueva, Pueblo Viejo del Morado, Antigüito, and Pueblo Viejo de La Cueva). Additionally, a colonial post operated in the locality of La Cueva, with its use extending at least until the time of the Independence Wars. In the 18th century, La Cueva became an attractive hub for settlers from both nearby and distant places who either established themselves in the village of the same name or frequented its church (Nuestra Señora de la Concepción) for baptisms, marriages, and it was also the chosen place for burials of different social actors, possibly because it served as an economic center for the region. All the archaeological and documentary evidence, studied with the goal of analyzing and comparing the existence of mobility or circulation within and beyond the quebrada, demonstrates the connection of this quebrada with the Jujeña Puna, Yungas, other sectors of the Quebrada de Humahuaca, and neighboring countries like Chile, Bolivia, and Peru. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z
