El Molino es un poblado arqueológico del Valle de Hualfín (Catamarca, Argentina) que combina características locales con elementos que lo asocian con la presencia inka en la región durante el siglo XV. Las excavaciones realizadas en el Recinto 34 permitieron identificar un espacio doméstico reutilizado como lugar de entierro. El análisis de los materiales arqueofaunísticos muestra una importante variedad taxonómica de fauna silvestre. Los resultados permiten inferir que ejemplares de camélidos y de Hippocamelus antisensis fueron procesados y consumidos y que se utilizaron artefactos óseos, posiblemente en actividades rituales asociadas al entierro, junto a ofrendas de comida y bebida, vasijas y objetos de alto valor simbólico (oro y aragonita). Finalmente, se discute la relación de la fauna con el manejo del poder por parte de los líderes locales de El Molino, en el marco de los cambios sociales producidos por la incorporación de la región al imperio inka.
This paper is part of the research carried out for the unpublished doctoral thesis of María Belén Birche. It briefly describes what geothermal energy is and the systems that exist to exploit the resource. Subsequently, the study focuses on the simplest and most economical system, traditionally known as the ‘Canadian Well’. Current regulations and installation requirements are analysed. The air pollutants to be avoided by the installation are detailed. Problems are identified to solve the parts of the system in the national market. Antecedents in Argentina and Europe are studied to solve the disadvantages found and solutions are proposed.
In this article, I introduce the Argentine writer Juana Manuela Gorriti (1816/8–1892) and analyse a short novel, La quena , and a short story, “La novia del muerto” , both written by her. My approach is historical-philosophical, based on the hypothesis that her literary works, which belong to the Latin American Romantic movement, incorporate political and social reflections. These reflections address themes such as the role of women in society, as well as the place and the treatment of Indigenous peoples and slavery. First, I provide a biographical overview to establish the historical context. Next, I outline the main currents of Argentine thought during her time, particularly the Generation of '37 in the Río de la Plata. Then, I examine the two texts mentioned above, included in Sueños y realidades (1865). Finally, I offer some concluding remarks.
