Between iconophilia and iconoclasm: advances of conservative memory in Chile
No full text© 2025 Manuela Badilla Rajevic and Valentina Infante-Batiste.The article examines the rise of a conservative memory in Chilean heritage and memory fields. Specifically, it delves into how this shift is represented in iconophilia and iconoclasm. The study analyses both the discourses that validate the military coup as a form of salvation and advocates for a re-installation of national symbols (iconophilia), and the reactionary cultural expressions that challenge the advancements in human rights and dictatorship victims’ memory (iconoclasm). The article explores the different dimensions in which the conservative memory is disseminated and the inherent dynamism of the concepts of iconophilia and iconoclasm. It contributes to the debate on cultural and political sociology and trauma heritage associated with memory and human rights while highlighting cultural memory’s contentious nature within society and the possible effects of this phenomenon on the heritage of human rights memory.ANIDFondecytFondecy

La biografía de Manuela Cambronero
No full textManuela Cambronero’s biography has been a pending issue until now, given that her figure has not aroused interest and no studies which focus on clarifying her origins and chronology have been published. This information is essential as a starting point for any work on the author, which is why elucidating these unknowns through direct archive research is a sine qua non. Consequently, locating Manuela Cambronero’s baptismal, marriage and death certificates is the only reliable way to dispel any doubt about her provenance and to determine the exact places and dates of the trans-cendental events of her life.La biografía de Manuela Cambronero ha sido una cuestión pendiente hasta ahora, pues, como su figura no ha suscitado interés, no se han publicado estudios centrados en esclarecer su origen y su cronología.

En consecuencia, la localización de los certificados de bautismo, de matrimonio y de defunción de Manuela Cambronero es la única vía fiable para disipar las dudas sobre su procedencia y para concretar los lugares y fechas exactas de los eventos trascendentales de su vida
Manuela Sáenz en varios textos
No full textThis report is an attempt to analyze the narrative discourse order in the novel “La esposa del Dr. Thorne” (Dr. Thorne’s Wife) of the Venezuelan writer Denzil Romero, in the light of ¨Las cuatro estaciones de Manuela” (“The Four Seasons of Manuela”) of the American author Víctor W. von Hagen, and of “Manuela. Sus diarios perdidos y otros papeles”, (Manuela. Lost Diaries and Other Papers) of the Ecuadorian Carlos Álvarez Saá. This paper is a risky comparison between a book of fiction, presumably based on real facts, where Manuela’s eroticism is the central theme in Romero, the large literary chronicles issued by von Hagen and the compilation and discovery of alleged original and historic texts (letters and diaries) produced by Álvarez Saá. It is also a research exercise where, whimsically, what the official discourse says, as it may be viewed by the school of Venezuela or that of Quito, is mixed with the fictionalization of that discourse. It is, too, a possible vindication of Manuela Sáenz as a person and/or predominant character in the fights for the independence of America beyond her ¨circumstantial¨ relationship with Simón Bolívar. It is, to a certain extent, a look into how literary texts and the perceptions of history about a character (Manuela) tend to a “rearrangement” in present times and how there has been an attempt to consolidate the figure of Manuela Sáenz as a heroine, awarding a victory to what von Hagen calls “the school of Quito”.Si prese l’analisi dell’ordine discorsivo narrativo del romanzo dell’autore venezuelano Denzil Romero, La sposa del Dott.re Thorne, attraverso le comparazioni delle opere dell’autore statunitense Víctor W. Von Hagen, Le quattro stagioni di Manuela e dell’ autore ecuadoregno Carlos Álvarez Saá, Manuela, i suoi diari persi ed altre carte. È una comparazione azzardadata tra un libro di finzione, forse basato in fatti reali, dove l’erotismo della donna (Manuela) costituisce la tematica centrale, nell’opera di Romero, con la lunga cronaca letteraria che fa von Hagen e la compilazione e la scoperta di supposti testi originali e storici (lettere, diari) che fa Álvarez Saá. È un esercizio di ricerca dove si mescolano, in modo capriccioso, il campo d’attività del Venezuela o quello del Quito, e la finzione di quello ufficiale. È anche la rivendicazione possibile di Manuela Sáenz come persona e/o personaggio preponderante nelle lotte indipendentistiche dell’America che era aldilà della relazione congiunturale con Simón Bolívar. Si vuole vedere, fino a un certo punto, come i testi letterari e le percezioni della storia su un personaggio (Manuela) tendono a sistemarsi con i tempi attuali e come si ha voluto affiancare la figura eroica di Manuela Sáenz, concedendole il trionfo, forse secondo la tesi di von Hagen: quella che lui definisce la scuola di Quito.Se pretendeu analisar a ordem discursivo-narrativa do romance do venezuelano Denzil Romero, “La esposa del Dr. Thorne”, à luz das obras do americano Víctor W. von Hagen, ¨Las cuatro estaciones de Manuela” e do equatoriano Carlos Álvarez Saá, “Los diários perdidos de Manuela Sáenz y otros papeles”. Este trabalho é a comparação arriscada entre um livro de ficção, baseado aparentemente em fatos reais, no qual o erotismo da mulher (Manuela) é o tema central, em Romero, com a extensa crônica literária que lhe faz von Hagen e a recopilação e a descoberta de aparentes textos originais e históricos (cartas, diários) que faz Álvarez Saá. Também é um exercício de pesquisa em que, de maneira especial, se mistura o que diz o discurso histórico oficial, segundo seja visto pela escola da Venezuela ou a de Quito, com a visão dada pela ficção a esse discurso. É, ao mesmo tempo, um pouco a possível reivindicação de Manuela Sáenz como pessoa e/ou personagem preponderante nas lutas de independência da América que chegavam além do seu ¨controvertido¨ relacionamento com Simón Bolívar. É ver, de certa forma, como os textos literários a as percepções da história sobre uma personagem (Manuela) têm tendência a ¨se readaptar” nos tempos atuais e como se quis dar força à figura de heroína de Manuela Sáenz, dando uma vitória a ela na que, tal vez, von Hagen denomina “a escola de Quito”.Se pretendió el análisis del orden discursivo narrativo de la novela del venezolano Denzil Romero, “La esposa del Dr. Thorne”, a luz de las obras del estadounidense Víctor W. von Hagen, ¨Las cuatro estaciones de Manuela” y del ecuatoriano Carlos Álvarez Saá, “Manuela.

Este trabajo es la comparación riesgosa entre un libro de ficción, basado presumiblemente en hechos reales, donde el erotismo de la mujer (Manuela) es el tema central, en Romero, con la larga crónica literaria que hace von Hagen y la recopilación y descubrimiento de presuntos textos originales e históricos (cartas, diarios) que hace Álvarez Saá.

Es ver, hasta cierto punto, cómo los textos literarios y las percepciones de la historia sobre un personaje (Manuela) tienden a ¨reacomodarse” en los tiempos actuales y cómo se ha querido afianzar la figura de heroína de Manuela Sáenz, dándole el triunfo, tal vez, a lo que llama von Hagen “la escuela de Quito”

Sustainable Interventions for the Preservation of Earthen Heritage
Full text linkAbstractEarth is one of the most common material used for the construction of historical villages, whose conservation ensures the transmission of a technological culture that represents the landscape, as well as historical and architectural values. The preservation of this rich, but very fragile, heritage requires the development of projects that should be promoters of sustainable interventions, not only able to guarantee a limit in the consumption of resources, but also the start-up of local development processes, generating externalities that could significantly contribute to the preservation of tangible and intangible assets. As it concerns Piedmont earthen vernacular architecture the development of thematic itineraries could give a significant contribution to the enhancement of this cultural heritage
