Food and mobility
Following JTH’s editorial calling for a deeper consideration of the movement of people and things, we propose a more integrated and spread-out consideration of the relationship between food and mobility. Our aim is to bring together two consolidated fields of study – food studies and mobilities studies – in the interest of expanding the focus and subject of history of things in motion. A focus on food helps bring to the fore questions of the soci…
The auto-colectivo
By the late 1920s, Buenos Aires already had a large tramway network, buses, an underground line, and railways. However, on 24 September 1928 a new form of public transport burst onto the scene: the auto-colectivo. Organised in small companies without municipal authorisation, taxi drivers began using their cars for public transport. Analysing technological transformations in the transportation sector from a cultural–historical perspective, this pa…
Cidades, práticas e representações em movimento
Neste ensaio, introduzem-se noções-chave sobre o 'giro móvel' para compreender e definir a experiência de mobilidade urbana, com base em uma crítica aos estudos urbanos e de transporte, bem como às ciências sociais em geral, e na América Latina em particular. Propõe-se que as cidades são espaços para circulação, destacando a importância que esta tem na produção do espaço urbano. Ainda que a tradição da teoria social moderna tenha sustentado a ide…
The Life of Modern Roads’
Meaningful Mobilities
The paper explores the experience of travelling on Buenos Aires' Underground Railways ( Subte) during the first decades of the twentieth-century. Reconstructing representations of passengers and their experiences through visual and textual sources, the paper shows how this underground mobility was a meaningful practice that expressed ambivalent sentiments towards progress and the rhythm of modern urban life. On the one hand, there was popular fas…

Some Data-Driven Reflections on Priorities in Aids Network Research
The HIV/Aids epidemic and changes in injecting drug use in Buenos Aires, Argentina
This article discusses the changes in injecting drug use from 1998 to 2003 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Rapid Situation Assessment and Response methodology was used to obtain the information. Quantitative and qualitative techniques were triangulated: 140 current IDUs and 35 sex partners of injection drug users (IDUs) were surveyed; 17 in-depth interviews with the surveyed IDUs and 2 focus groups were held, as well as ethnographic observations.…
