Locating Party Politics and Grassroots Activism in Participatory Slum Upgrading
Literature on participatory slum upgrading often simplifies the political landscape of informal settlements, portraying them as homogeneous communities, and focuses instead on infrastructure, housing, tenure regularization, participatory design and project implementation. However, many informal settlements across the Global South are sites of territorialized party politics competing for community leadership and support. This article analyses the …
Densidades contrapuestas en la sanción del código urbanístico de la ciudad de Buenos Aires
Aunque ciertos consensos actuales sobre planificación presentan la densidad urbana como socialmente deseable, esta es imaginada, politizada, disputada y/o resistida por distintos actores en la ciudad. Este artículo se propone analizar los sentidos sobre la densidad urbana en la discusión pública por la sanción de un nuevo código de zonificación para la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. El anuncio de su renovación configuró un problema público en e…
Longing for everyday life. Experiencing Covid-19 social isolation in a Latin American city
This article examines the transformations in meaning and use of public and domestic spheres in the context of the strict COVID-19 stay-at-home measures in Greater Buenos Aires.

We found that o…

Is the United States Losing Ground in Central and South America

With the conclusion of the empire, Spain could forget its martial past, the nations of Latin America were obliged to find their own course, and the United States became engaged anew in European affairs. Over time, Latin America's early admiration for the democratic United States gave way to fear and concern for the v…
Autopsies on two native American mummies
An interdisciplinary team performed autopsies on an adult male and an infant male mummy from the American Southwest. Cause of death has not been determined for the infant. The presence of an unhealed skull fracture associated with an apparent hematoma in the adult male is suggestive of trauma as the cause of death in the adult. Evidence of disease is minimal. Analysis of powder thought to be dried blood from the thoracic cavity of the adult sugge…
Puerto Rican Independence
Self-Determination in Puerto Rico
As a form of government the Estado Libre Asociado , or to use the English title the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, reflects a cultural, economic, social, political process of long duration. It also embodies an explicit program of political pioneering initiated after the end of World War II
