Com voz de mulher e desde a periferia: Uma entrevista com Silvia Faget sobre o terrorismo de Estado em San Rafael (Mendoza)
Get PDFThe interview explores Silvia Faget's experience during the state terrorism in the department of San Rafael, in the south of Mendoza province. She and her husband, Santiago “Chiche” Illa, were members of the Partido Revolucionario de los Trabajadores – Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (PRT-ERP) in that town. Fifteen days before the coup d'état, repressive forces broke in their home in the early morning and kidnapped Illa. Faget's testimony offers a first-person story of her experience, told from a gendered perspective. She relates the experiences of a pregnant woman with a one-year-old child who embarks on a search for her disappeared husband in a small town, while her organization is dismantled. She describes her experience of childbirth and postpartum during the dictatorship, the depression, the panic, and the ongoing search. The interview reveals the traces of forced internal exile and the conditions under which those who were not forcibly disappeared by genocidal state policies survived, as well as the persistence of the search and the trajectories that brought together those who later formed Human Rights organizations.La entrevista recorre la experiencia de Silvia Faget durante el terrorismo de Estado en el departamento de San Rafael, al sur de la provincia de Mendoza. Ella y su esposo, Santiago “Chiche” Illa, eran militantes del Partido Revolucionario de los Trabajadores – Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (PRT-ERP) en dicha localidad. Quince días antes del golpe de Estado, las fuerzas represivas ingresaron en su domicilio por la madrugada y secuestraron a Illa. El testimonio de Faget invita a conocer una experiencia desde el género en primera persona. Repasa las vivencias de una mujer embarazada y con un hijo de un año que emprende la búsqueda de su compañero desaparecido en un pequeño pueblo, mientras su organización es desarticulada. Relata cómo fue para ella atravesar el parto y puerperio durante la dictadura, la depresión, el pánico y la búsqueda que persiste. En la entrevista se pueden observar los trazos de un insilio forzado y las condiciones en que sobrevivieron quienes no fueron desaparecidas por la política genocida, así como la insistencia en la búsqueda y los caminos que unieron a quienes formaron organismos de Derechos Humanos.A entrevista percorre a experiência de Silvia Faget durante o terrorismo de Estado no departamento de San Rafael, no sul da província (Estado) de Mendoza. Ela e seu marido, Santiago “Chiche” Illa, eram ativistas do Partido Revolucionario de los Trabajadores – Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (PRT-ERP) daquela cidade. Quinze dias antes do golpe de Estado, as forças repressivas invadiram a casa deles pela madrugada e sequestraram Illa. O depoimento de Faget convida a conhecer uma experiência contada em primeira pessoa, a partir de uma perspectiva de gênero. Ela narra as experiências de uma mulher grávida com um filho de um ano que embarca em uma busca do seu parceiro desaparecido numa pequena cidade, enquanto a organização deles é desmantelada. Ela descreve sua experiência de parto e pós-parto durante a ditadura, a depressão, o pânico e a busca incessante. A entrevista revela as marcas do exílio interno forçado e as condições em que aqueles que não foram desaparecidos pela política genocida sobreviveram, bem como a insistência na busca e os caminhos que uniram aqueles que formaram organizações de Direitos Humanos
Una forma de pescar recuerdos: Literatura y memoria ampliada en Nos espera el mar de Santiago Garat
Get PDFDrawing on the theoretical and methodological frameworks of memory studies, as well as the perspective of the sociology of literature, this article analyzes the short story collection Nos espera el mar by Santiago Garat, a journalist from Rosario (Santa Fe, Argentina) and son of Eduardo Garat, who disappeared in 1978. Published by a cooperative, we believe this work offers unique insights into how the younger generation continues to process the recent past, following the Kirchnerist period’s impact on the recovery of 1970s historical memory. Among these insights, we focus on the representation of the popular class and, in particular, on the institutional violence inflicted upon its youth in a democratic context, interpreted as a continuation of state violence during the dictatorship. We examine how some of these short stories activate dialogues between the past and the present, and the role that fiction plays in generating such dialogue.A partir de las claves teórico-metodológicas de los estudios sobre memoria, así como de la perspectiva de la sociología de la literatura, en este artículo analizamos el libro de cuentos Nos espera el mar de Santiago Garat, periodista de Rosario (Santa Fe, Argentina), hijo de Eduardo Garat, desaparecido en 1978. Editada por una cooperativa, consideramos que esta producción ofrece elementos singulares para pensar los modos en que la generación de los hijos continúa elaborando el pasado reciente, luego de lo que significó el período kirchnerista en términos de recuperación de la memoria setentista. Entre ellos, nos detenemos en la representación de las clases populares y especialmente en la violencia institucional sobre sus jóvenes en democracia, leída como continuación de la violencia estatal en dictadura. De este modo, nos detenemos en las maneras en que algunos de estos relatos breves activan diálogos entre el pasado y el presente, así como el rol que asume la escritura de ficción para generarlo
Ressonância de gênero no ritmo da poesia argentina recente
No full textThis work sets out to critically examine the voices that emerge in a series of poems written by Tamara Domenech, Marina Mariasch and Fernanda Laguna, taking as its starting point the hypothesis that the rhythm of these poems enables the reading of novel areas of their works that are not thematically marked by gender, but which find in their vocality a dimension capable of obscuring the language of the poem with respect to the discourses and sensibilities available from and with which the gender is written. These voices, far from being considered exceptions in recent Argentine poetry, form a possible clue to attending to a certain soundscape that brings to life forms of listening and forms of voice traversed by obstinacy as a poetic force.El trabajo se dispone a ensayar una escucha crítica de las voces que se activan en una serie de poemas escritos por Tamara Domenech, Marina Mariasch y Fernanda Laguna, tomando como punto de partida la hipótesis de que el ritmo de estas poéticas habilita la lectura de zonas novedosas de sus obras que temáticamente no están marcadas por el género, pero que encuentran en su vocalidad una dimensión capaz de obcecar la lengua del poema respecto de los discursos y de las sensibilidades disponibles desde y con las cuales se escribe el género. Estas voces, lejos de considerarse excepciones de la poesía argentina reciente, conforman una pista posible para atender a cierto paisaje sonoro que hace sonar formas de la escucha y formas de la voz atravesadas por la obcecación como fuerza poética
Radial Growth Dynamics and Drought Resilience in Pinus pinea L. Plantations from Central-Western Argentina: Implications for Forestry Development
Get PDFForests play a crucial role in ecological stability, carbon sequestration, habitat provision and economy. As climate change intensifies, increasing drought frequency and severity challenge our understanding of forest resilience. Based on this premise, we examined radial growth dynamics and drought response of Pinus pinea L. in Mendoza Province in both mesic and xeric conditions. Using dendrochronological techniques, we assessed the long and short-term effects of soil and atmospheric drought on radial growth trends at two irrigated plantations with contrasting environments. Growth dynamics reflected differences in soil, climate, and irrigation. Growth rates were significantly higher at the mesic stand, which received nearly twice the precipitation and irrigation compared to xeric one. In contrast, growth at the xeric site was strongly limited by early-summer atmospheric drought, while late-growing season soil moisture and climatic conditions affected tree-ring development at the mesic site. Growth resilience to extreme events experienced site dependence, with edaphic drought exerting a stronger negative effect than atmospheric dry spells at the mesic stand. Our results underscore the importance of integrating short- and long-term drought assessment into P. pinea management strategies and support the potential of stone pine plantations in extra-Mediterranean South America for sustainable forestry under changing climatic conditions.
Highlights:
First dendrochronological assessment of Pinus pinea in Central-Western Argentina.
Radial growth shows site-specific sensitivity to drought types: limited by early-summer atmospheric drought at the xeric site and by late-season soil moisture deficit at the mesic site.
Irrigation does not fully decouple tree growth from climate, underscoring the need for precise water management in future plantations under semi-arid climates.
Full resilience to extreme drought is low (≤50%), with edaphic drought exerting a stronger negative impact than atmospheric drought, particularly at the mesic stand.
pinea demonstrates high potential for forestry diversification in semi-arid regions of South America, offering an alternative for sustainable nut and wood production.

Social Welfare Effects of Water Security Improvements in Arid Regions: The Case of Mendoza, Argentina
Get PDFWater security is a critical challenge in Mendoza, Argentina, an arid region that faces rising water demand and uncertainty caused by climate change. Agriculture consumes 90% of the fresh water in the region, while vineyards occupy just over 60% of the cultivated area. This study estimates the social welfare effects of an improvement in water security achieved by reallocating water from vineyards to other uses. We used a multidisciplinary approach, applying benefit transfer to estimate social welfare changes and water footprint to quantify shifts in water availability. Our findings suggest that a water security policy in the Mendocinian Northern Oasis can result in an average 21-percentage-point increase in annual water availability for other uses. This equals an average household welfare gain of 17.43 US dollars per year (95% CI: 8.40-35.64) at 2024 prices over the next 30 years. This study offers a framework for regions worldwide facing similar challenges of water scarcity, increasing water demand, and climate change. Moreover, it can support the design of more informed water management strategies to ensure long-term water security.
Highlights:
A framework is proposed for evaluating water security improvements in arid regions.
Aligning water distribution with crop water needs enables efficient water allocation.
Water security improvement policies increase social welfare for Mendocinian citizens.
A multidisciplinary approach is developed using benefit transfer and water footprint.

Introducción. Economía circular y gestión inclusiva de los residuos en tiempos de reducción del Estado
No full textLa transición hacia la economía circular representa uno de los desafíos más urgentes y complejos de nuestro tiempo, pues demanda transformaciones profundas en los modelos productivos, las estructuras de gobernanza y las dinámicas de inclusion social. Este proceso cobra particular relevancia en el contexto de América Latina, donde algunos países experimentan políticas de marcada reducción del gasto público y retracción del rol del Estado en áreas clave para el desarrollo sostenible
Reciclar y reutilizar: Un análisis de la potencial instalación de una planta de separación de residuos electrónicos en Bahía Blanca
Get PDFLos procesos lineales de producción y consumo no consideran el agotamiento de los recursos naturales y la gestión de residuos. Por ello, es relevante analizar modelos que incluyan reciclado, en particular de aparatos electrónicos, cuyo daño ambiental es elevado. El objetivo es analizar la viabilidad técnica y económica de una posible planta que se dedique a esa actividad en Bahía Blanca, con el afán de aportar datos en un campo de estudio no generalizado en nuestro país. Se aplicó el método tradicional de evaluación de proyectos de inversión (estudio de mercado, técnico, legal, económico) usando información secundaria y realizando una encuesta a familias y un censo a reparadores de estos aparatos. Se concluyó que el proyecto no es viable y un crédito no modifica la decisión. La limitación es el requerimiento de mano de obra, por lo que se recomiendan otras alternativas de contratación

Transition Management and Dairy Cow Performance: Insights from Dairy Farms in Argentina
Get PDFThis study aims to describe nutritional strategies, management practices, and health events in transitioning cows on 28 commercial dairy farms in Argentina, selected based on their association with graduate students. During 2022, we surveyed herd management, feeding, health events, and milk yield, based on local research and validated recommendations. Most cows were housed in dry lots, with 97% of farms having far-off and close-up groups, but only half had a fresh group. The average dry period was 59±11.4 days. The mortality and culling rate were 1.2% and 1.4%, respectively. The herd incidence rates were 1.8% for milk fever, 0.3% for clinical mastitis, 2.7% for metritis, and 1.4% for retained placenta. All farms used anionic diets and monitored urinary pH, with corn silage included in all diets, and soybean meal/expeller as the main protein source. Lactating cows produced an average of 33.8±10.43 kg of milk on the first test day and 38.2±10.05 kg at peak. Primiparous cows produced 75% of the milk of mature cows. Bulk tank milk averaged 3.9±0.19% fat and 3.5±0.07% CP. This report highlights strengths and areas for improvement in Argentina’s dairy transition programs.
Highlights:
Surveyed transition cow management and performance on 28 Argentine dairy farms, providing novel regional data.
Strengths: Routine far-off and close-up grouping, widespread use of negative DCAD diets, and frequent bunk monitoring contributed to low incidence of health disorders, culling, and mortality.
Milk composition showed above-average fat and protein content, reflecting effective nutritional strategies.
Challenges: Lack of fresh groups, grouping primiparous with multiparous cows, limited shade, and extended dry periods (>50 d) increased risks of social stress and overconditioning.
Opportunities: Improve forage sampling frequency, refine energy balance prepartum, and enhance cow comfort to optimize productivity and sustainability.This study aims to describe nutritional strategies, management practices, and health events in transitioning cows on 28 commercial dairy farms in Argentina, selected based on their association with graduate students.
