Fraud, Trusts and Trusting
Conveyances with informal agreements to hold for the benefit of the transferor initially proved efficacious in avoiding statutory forfeiture provisions. In the late sixteenth century, the equity side of the Exchequer developed a capacious doctrine of revenue fraud designed to capture such informal arrangements and to subject the transferor to liability for crown forfeitures. Initially drawing inspiration from the 'badges of fraud' in the Statute …
The Nimby problem
Nimbyism is widely thought to arise from an inherent tradeoff between localism and efficiency in government: because many development projects have spatially concentrated costs and diffuse benefits, local residents naturally oppose proposed projects. But why cannot project developers (with large potential profits) compensate local residents? We argue that local regulatory institutions effectively require developers to expend resources that cannot…

Tiburcio González Rojas
Tiburcio González Rojas (birth date unknown) worked as a small-time jobbing photographer in the mid-twentieth century in the area around Ypacaraí, southeast of Asunción, where he specialized in ID photos. However, he soon turned his camera to the provincial life of the area, recording traditional events like the funeral rituals for infant deaths and folk music together with subjects that showed Paraguay, while under the draconian dictatorship of …
Construction and Execution of Trusts in Chancery, c . 1660–1750
Relatively little has been written about the detailed workings of the court of chancery after the restoration. Even less is known about the doctrines of the chancery in the eighteenth century. Yet social historians of this period have relied on legal sources to generate a narrative which suggests that the landed classes were instrumental in determining the content of the rules governing family settlements. This article seeks to situate that narra…

Homoeróticas
El examen de la producción cultural relacionada con el problema del homoerotismo no puede ser emprendido sin una adecuada base teórica. Esta base necesariamente tiene que ver con la definición de las relaciones entre lo homoerótico y la ideología hegemónica de heterosexualidad compulsiva que sustenta al patriarcado. Además, implica la definición de lo que se entiende por homoerotismo y de cómo una posición sociocultural se opone al patriarcado y …

This made it …

Masculinity As Privileged Human Agency In H. G. Oesterheld’s El Eternauta
Author(s): Foster, David William | Abstract: Masculinity As Privileged Human Agency In H. G. Oesterheld’s ElEternauta
Transition Cinema
Although certain periods of sociopolitical and economic turbulence — notably the neo-fascist coup of 1976 — have depressed the production of Argentine films, Argentine film-making has always been a vigorous proposition. While there remains a certain measure of potboiler production in both Mexico and Brazil (the latter country is particularly notable for films that provide vehicles for soap opera stars), current Argentine films probably include th…
Intelectuales públicos judíos en la Argentina, siglo XXI
La dictadura militar argentina de las décadas de 1970 y 1980 promovió la persecución de la comunidad judía. Desde 1983, nuevamente en democracia, muchos judíos argentinos participaron activamente en política y en debatesculturales e intelectuales públicos. Las voces más notorias, que son analizadas en este artículo, fueron las de Ricardo Forster, Alejandro Horowicz y Horacio Verbitsky

This Woman Which is One
Solberg's The Double Day (1976), although produced in English, is recognized as the first Latin American feminist documentary. In it, Solberg, by interviewing women from (principally) Argentina, Mexico, and Bolivia, and discussing with them their work lives, demonstrates the nature of the ‘double day’ by which women work a full shift outside the home and then work a second shift as principal homemakers. Solberg's approach is to homologize the exp…

Unsettling Accounts
Leigh Payne’s monograph Unsettling Accounts is important in two ways. First of all, it analyzes publications and documents of agents of state violence from four societies that are icons of extreme repression and violation of human rights (and in at least the first two cases, of an explicitly neofascist apparatus): Argentina, Chile, Brazil, and South Africa. These four cases diverge fundamentally in the institutional circumstances and structure of…

Taming the Father
This article demonstrates the radical character of Locke's attack on patriarchalism in the TwoTreatises of Government, in part by showing that that attack implies the rejection of the natural and divine order to which patriarchalism appealed to justify itself. In this way, Locke's attack on patriarchalism, which prepared the way for his individualistic liberal politics, is also shown to be an important part of his solution to the political proble…

Latin American Philosophy in the Twentieth Century
Latin America - its people, its politics, its economy - has burst upon the world scene with powerful images that have captured the curiosity of many English-speaking North Americans. The strategic importance of this vast region to the stability of the Western Hemisphere serves to accentuate the need for a thoughtful contemporary exploration of its philosophical underpinnings. More than thirty years have passed since a representative collection of…

Buenos Aires
Since the nineteenth century, Buenos Aires, the largest city of Spanish-speaking South America, has been one of the continent's major cultural centers. David Foster analyzes a standard aspect of Argentine culture, the tango, but with attention to gender issues; he looks at theater in terms of its interpretation of Argentine social life; the dirty realism of Enrique Medina provides a focus for marginal, subaltern, and suppressed sectors of the urb…

Argentine Sociopolitical Commentary, the Malvinas Conflict, and Beyond
It was inevitable that after the demise of the series of military dictatorships that ruled Argentina so violently between 1976 and 1983, the return to democratic institutions would occasion an outpouring of the kinds of writing and cultural activities banned or censored by the generals. Movie distributors in Argentina today cannot keep up with the demand for films that could not be seen during these years (or were seen only with extensive and cap…
Mafalda
Mafalda, the acutely sensitive little girl well‐known to both Argentinian and other Latin American readers, has been used by Quino, her creator, as the vehicle to comment on national foibles and pretentions. David Foster analyzes several strips to show how Mafalda's cleverness is based on literary strategems of what he calls “judicious inuerosimilitude.” While he asserts that Quino's work is a remarkably accurate representation of the details of …
Borges and Dis-Reality
Reality and ir-reality are common words in our daily vocabulary. However, in the realm of art, there are not two realities, but three. The other is a dis-reality, a type of atmosphere created in which both reality, what is verisimile, and ir-reality, what is fantasy, are partaken of. This paper will attempt to discuss Fervor de Buenos Aires,1 an early work of Borges, as an example of extremely localized poetry (Buenos Aires), but possessing a sty…

Literary Structure and the Study of Poetic Language
In the stylistic examination of a literary work use may well be made of all previously mentioned contextualizations, both extratextual and intratextual. This 'reading with a sense for continuity, for contextual coherence, for wholeness'2 must be an essential part of stylistic study; it is a necessary check on the equally necessary discreteness which any aspectual ivork on a text, linguistic or otherwise, requires.
