Un lugar para los deficientados: análisis de El grongo (1976) de Julio Ricci en el marco de las narrativas nacionales no miméticas
No full textUbicación en el estante: FHLC012024La presente tesis se propone analizar el volumen de cuentos El grongo (1976) del escritor y docente uruguayo Julio Ricci (1920-1995). Se estudiará su obra según dos ejes: por un lado, su potencial pertenencia a una promoción de narradores que aparece en la década del sesenta, caracterizados por su impronta de ruptura respecto a la tradición anterior. Para llevar a cabo tal categorización, y como segundo eje, se abordarán las principales aristas temáticas de El grongo. A partir de las distintas conceptualizaciones de realismo y su repercusión en las narrativas del siglo XX, se ahondará en aquellos procedimientos narratológicos que permiten ver un distanciamiento respecto a las tendencias miméticas a nivel nacional, rasgo que comparten esta serie de narradores «tendientes a la ruptura» del último cuarto del siglo XX, revisitando así la etiqueta más popular que los categoriza como los «raros» uruguayos.This dissertation is focused on the literary analysis of El grongo (1976), second volume of short stories delivered by Uruguayan author and teacher Julio Ricci (1920-1995). The thesis develops around two core ideas: on the one hand, it aims to fix whether his work belongs to a larger movement of national writers, all of which share a marked break from the preceding generation. This drives to the second core idea, which consists on identifying the main themes inside El grongo. Basing on different concepts of realism and how it affected twentieth-century fiction, it aims to delve into those literary devices that show a certain distance from reigning mimetic procedures at a national scale, a characteristic that these break-through authors from the last quarter of the twentieth century share, sometimes labeled as «raros uruguayos»
Panem et circenses. La ficción distópica como reflejo de la decadencia posmoderna
No full textUbicación en el estante: FHMH012024Panem et circenses: la ficción distópica como reflejo de la decadencia posmoderna explora la literatura distópica como manifiesto y respuesta a los problemas e interrogantes fundamentales de la humanidad. Este estudio sostiene que las distopías posmodernas revelan el «espíritu de época», ofreciendo perspectivas sobre el pasado, el presente y el futuro. La historia de la humanidad se caracteriza por una fuerte meditación sobre la existencia, la muerte, la libertad, la felicidad. La incertidumbre generada en las primeras décadas del siglo XX desembocó en una paradoja difícil de resolver: el problema de la vida moderna y posmoderna recae en la búsqueda excesiva de sentido y en la carencia de este. El objetivo principal de la investigación es identificar los rasgos comunes del género distópico y analizar cómo muchas de sus características son reflejos de tendencias contemporáneas. Se examinan obras clave como La parábola del sembrador y La parábola de los talentos de Octavia E. Butler, la trilogía de Oryx y Crake de Margaret Atwood y Los juegos del hambre de Suzanne Collins para comprender cómo estas narrativas funcionan como advertencias sobre los peligros de la decadencia contemporánea y sus posibles futuros.Panem et circenses: Dystopian Fiction as a Reflection of Postmodern Decadence explores dystopian literature as a manifesto and response to humanity's fundamental problems and questions. This study argues that postmodern dystopias not only reveal the "spirit of the age" but also offer perspectives on the past, present, and future. Human history is marked by profound reflection on existence, death, freedom, and happiness. The uncertainty generated in the early decades of the 20th century resulted in a difficult paradox: the problem of modern and postmodern life lies in the excessive search for meaning and its simultaneous absence. The main goal of this research is to identify common traits in the dystopian genre and analyze how many of its characteristics reflect contemporary trends. Key works such as Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler, the Oryx and Crake trilogy by Margaret Atwood, and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins are examined to understand how these narratives function as warnings about the dangers of contemporary decay and its potential futures
Respecting priorities versus respecting preferences in school choice: when is there a trade-off?
No full textA classic trade-off that school districts face when deciding which matching algorithm to use is that it is not possible to always respect both priorities and preferences. The student-proposing deferred acceptance algorithm (DA) respects priorities but can lead to inefficient allocations. We identify a new condition on school choice markets under which DA is efficient. Our condition generalizes earlier conditions by placing restrictions on how preferences and priorities relate to one another only on the parts that are relevant for the assignment. Whenever there is a unique allocation that respects priorities, our condition captures all the environments for which DA is efficient. We show through stylized examples and simulations that our condition significantly expands the range of known environments for which DA is efficient. We also discuss how our condition sheds light on existing empirical findings
Can political gridlock undermine checks and balances? A lab experiment
No full textIf checks and balances are aimed at protecting citizens from the government’s abuse of power, why do they sometimes weaken them? We address this question in a laboratory experiment in which subjects choose between two decision rules: with and without checks and balances. Voters may prefer an unchecked executive if that enables a reform that, otherwise, is blocked by the legislature. Consistent with our predictions, we find that subjects are more likely to weaken checks and balances when there is political gridlock. However, subjects weaken the controls not only when the reform is beneficial but
also when it is harmful
Francisco Berra, el guerrero de la pluma: la resistencia a la afirmación de la nación uruguaya en sus cuatro ediciones del Bosquejo Histórico, desde 1866 a 1895
No full textUbicación en el estante FHMH032022En esta tesis se analiza el devenir del relato de Francisco Berra sobre la historia uruguaya en las cuatro ediciones de su Bosquejo Histórico de la República Oriental del Uruguay, correspondientes a 1866, 1874, 1881 y 1895. Análisis que se realiza a lo largo de tres capítulos y en diálogo con obras pedagógicas del autor, además de reglamentos educativos y libros de historia contemporáneos a su producción historiográfica. El eje se encuentra en los cambios que el manual escolar presenta a lo largo de los años y en la disputa que Berra sostuvo con un aparato estatal que buscaba generar los mitos fundacionales de la nación uruguaya.
De esta forma, en paralelo a circunstancias como su polémica más famosa con Carlos María Ramírez o sus diferencias con la historiografía de cuño nacional y similitudes con la actual, se trabajan los distintos elementos que componen su relato de los acontecimientos ocurridos desde el descubrimiento de América hasta el final del ciclo artiguista. El espectro de análisis es amplio, comprendiendo a las etnias indígenas, el perfil del conquistador, el peso de la Geografía, la caracterización de las naciones europeas, las instituciones del Régimen Indiano, la revolución rioplatense y la figura de José Gervasio Artigas. Pero también los recursos retóricos y didácticos que Berra utiliza para reforzar su discurso de cara a los infantes y a defenderse de sus polemizadores.This thesis analyzes the evolution of Francisco Berra's account of Uruguayan history in the four editions of his Bosquejo Histórico de la República Oriental del Uruguay, corresponding to 1866, 1874, 1881 and 1895. This analysis was carried out over three chapters in dialogue with the author's pedagogical works, alongside educational regulations and history books contemporary to Berra’s own historiographical production. The focus revolves around the changes that the school manual presents over the years and the dispute that Berra had with a state apparatus that sought to lay the basis for the founding myths of the Uruguayan nation.
Thus, in parallel to events such as his famous debates with Carlos María Ramírez or his differences with the historiography devoted to the construction of the national myths as well as similarities with the current historiography are worked upon, alongside the different elements that make up his account of the events that have occurred since the discovery of America until the defeat of Artigas at the hands of the Portuguese. The spectrum of analysis is wide, ranging from the indigenous ethnic groups, the profile of the conqueror, the weight of Geography, the characterization of European nations, the institutions of the Indian Regime, the River Plate revolution and the figure of José Gervasio Artigas all the way to the rhetorical and didactic resources that Berra uses to reinforce his stance on Artigas when addressing children and to defend himself against his detractors
El fundamento metafísico de la ética de la benevolencia en Robert Spaemann
No full textUbicación en el estante: FHLF022023Robert Spaemann considera que no hay posibilidad de una ética sin una metafísica que sirva como fundamento. El presente trabajo estudia y analiza los elementos de la metafísica que fundamentan una ética de la benevolencia, según Spaemann, en particular la evidencia de la realidad del otro en tanto que otro, que nace a partir de una intuición primitiva. Esta evidencia fundamental supone algunas otras cosas, como el descubrimiento de nuestra propia naturaleza en tanto que sujetos, o personas, y un despertar a la realidad –la del mundo, la del otro y la propia– mediante la razón. Para llevar a cabo esta tarea, primero se estudiará la ética de la benevolencia para luego poder adentrarnos en su fundamento metafísico. Por último, se comparará la ética de la benevolencia con la ética consecuencialista para reafirmar el fundamento metafísico.Robert Spaemann considers that there is no possibility of ethics without metaphysics serving as its foundation. This work studies and analyzes the elements of metaphysics that underpin the ethics of benevolence, according to Spaemann. In particular, it focuses on the evidence of the reality of the other as another, which arises from a primary intuition. This fundamental evidence presupposes other aspects, such as the discovery of our own nature as subjects or individuals and an awakening to reality – of the world, the other, and ourselves – through reason. To conduct this task, we will first examine the ethics of benevolence and then delve into its metaphysical foundation. Finally, we will compare the ethics of benevolence with consequentialism in order to reaffirm its metaphysical basis
Mapa Verde: participatory cartography and technological imaginaries of the young environmental movement in Uruguay
Full text linkThis article examines Mapa Verde, a participatory digital mapping project co-created by young environmental activists and academic researchers in Uruguay between 2023 and 2025, from the perspective of participatory action research along with social and technopolitical cartography. Drawing on the observation and systematization of collaborative workshops, revision of periodical reports of activities and outcomes, and in-depth interviews with the young activists involved in the participatory cartography, the article reconstructs and interrogates the co-creation process: diagnosis, construction, and evaluation (Calvo & Candón-Mena, 2023). It also analyzes youth imaginaries regarding digital media activism and environmental advocacy through counter-mapping. Pragmatic and critical imaginaries of digital media for activism are found among the young participants who created Mapa Verde, while the collaborative enterprise reflects community-based communication and some traces of counter-data mapping that strengthen identity and foster inter-organizational collaboration. The project expands participatory cartography practices in political ecology and environmental communication, highlighting youth as both agents and cartographers of environmental action. The process shows that mapping is not only a technical exercise but also political, cultural, and pedagogical, enabling new forms of participation and knowledge productio
Tensões residuais induzidas pelo processo termo-mecânico e análise de deformação durante a fabricação da estrutura do casco
No full textHull structures such as stiffened plates and thin panels are the building blocks of ship structures, and therefore understanding their manufacturing process is of utmost importance. The welding process has been widely used to join stiffeners, stringers, and girders onto the plate. The thermo-mechanical loading and constraints during the welding process generally induced deformations and residual stresses. A deep understanding of the process parameters during thermo-mechanical processing is required to control the process-induced deformation. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the deformation and thermal stress generation in hull structures (panels/stiffened plates) during thermo-mechanical processes such as welding. A finite element modeling approach was proposed while incorporating the thermal and nonlinear thermo-elastic-plastic material behavior. The thin panels with different geometrical configurations and boundary conditions were simulated using steady state and transient heat-transfer-stress deformations analysis to simulate real-life scenarios. Both modeling approaches give a useful insight into understanding the complex nature of deformation and built-up residual stresses. However, the transient heat transfer-stress deformation analysis results were found in a reasonably good agreement with experimental data.Las estructuras de casco, como las placas rígidas y los paneles delgados, son los componentes básicos de las estructuras de barco y, por lo tanto, comprender su proceso de fabricación es de suma importancia. El proceso de soldadura se ha utilizado ampliamente para unirse a los rígidos, largueros y vigas en la placa. La carga y restricciones termo mecánicas durante el proceso de soldadura generalmente indujeron deformaciones y tensiones residuales. Se requiere una comprensión profunda de los parámetros del proceso durante el procesamiento termo-mecánico para controlar la deformación inducida por el proceso. Por lo tanto, este estudio tiene como objetivo investigar la generación de deformación y estrés térmico en estructuras de casco (paneles/placas rígidas) durante los procesos termo-mecánicos como la soldadura. Se propuso un enfoque de modelado de elementos finitos al incorporar el comportamiento de material térmico y no lineal de plástico termoelástico. Los paneles delgados con diferentes configuraciones geométricas y condiciones de contorno se simularon utilizando un análisis de deformaciones de estrés por calor de calor transitorio y transitorio para simular escenarios de la vida real. Ambos enfoques de modelado brindan una visión útil de comprender la naturaleza compleja de la deformación y las tensiones residuales acumuladas. Sin embargo, los resultados del análisis de deformación de transferencia de calor transitorio de calor se encontraron en un acuerdo razonablemente bueno con los datos experimentales.Estruturas de casco, como placas rígidas e painéis finos, são os blocos de construção das estruturas de navios e, portanto, entender seu processo de fabricação é de extrema importância. O processo de soldagem tem sido amplamente utilizado para unir reforços, longarinas e vigas no prato. A carga termo-mecânica e as restrições durante o processo de soldagem geralmente induziam deformações e tensões residuais. É necessário um profundo entendimento dos parâmetros do processo durante o processamento termo-mecânico para controlar a deformação induzida pelo processo. Portanto, este estudo tem como objetivo investigar a deformação e a geração de tensão térmica em estruturas de casco (painéis/placas rígidas) durante processos termo-mecânicos, como soldagem. Uma abordagem de modelagem de elementos finitos foi proposta ao incorporar o comportamento do material termoelástico-elástico térmico e não linear. Os painéis finos com diferentes configurações geométricas e condições de contorno foram simuladas usando análise de deformações de estresse de transferência de transferência transitória para simular cenários da vida real. Ambas as abordagens de modelagem fornecem uma visão útil sobre a compreensão da natureza complexa da deformação e das tensões residuais construídas. No entanto, os resultados da análise de deformação transitória por transferência de calor de transferência de calor foram encontrados em uma concordância razoavelmente boa com dados experimentais
