The policy of being a “dog in the manger”. poaching control and alien species management in Bahía Samborombon
No full textFil: Carpinetti, Bruno Nicolás. Universidad Nacional Arturo Jauretche. Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Administración; Argentina.Los conservacionistas contemporáneos señalan la introducción de especies exóticas como la segunda causa de extinción de especies después de la pérdida de hábitat, mientras que se caracteriza la caza furtiva como la causa de la declinación o extinción de numerosas poblaciones animales. Las figuras de protección que amparan a la Bahía Samborombón, prohíben la caza en forma permanente. Esta prohibición, podría haber favorecido el desarrollo de poblaciones de especies exóticas establecidas en el área. En este trabajo se procesó información de 156 actas de infracción labradas por la policía y los guardaparques provinciales entre los años 1999 y 2011 en el área. Se contrastaron datos surgidos del análisis de las actas con las políticas de manejo de especies exóticas y de control y vigilancia de las áreas protegidas puestas en práctica, se sugirieron líneas de acción para evitar inconsistencias en las políticas de manejo y reducir el conflicto con la población local.Contemporary conservationists point out the introduction of alien species as the second leading cause of species extinction after habitat loss. Also, poaching has been characterized as the cause of the decline or extinction of many animal populations. Protected areas created in the Bahía Samborombón área prohibit hunting permanently. This prohibition, may have favored the growth of exotic species populations established in the area. In this paper the information of 156 fines made by provincial police and park rangers between 1999 and 2011 were analyzed. This information was contrasted with the exotic species and control and monitoring of protected areas management policy applied in the area. Actions were suggested to avoid inconsistencies in management policies and reduce conflict with local population
Jabalíes y cerdos cimarrones en la Argentina : una guía de manejo para productores rurales
No full textLos problemas ocasionados por los jabalíes y cerdos silvestres (Sus scrofa) a los productores agropecuarios de la Argentina han sido identificados desde la introducción de la especie en el territorio nacional. En los últimos años, su constante expansión e incremento han aumentado los conflictos, ya no solo con la producción, sino que también se la ha identificado como un problema para la conservación de la biodiversidad. En algunos sitios, este problema se ha complejizado por el atractivo y el potencial económico de estos animales como especie de caza que ha acrecentado su rango de distribución. El objetivo de este artículo es poner a disposición de los productores rurales y administradores de establecimientos agropecuarios la información producida por diversos proyectos de control de esta problemática especie en distintos lugares del mundo, junto con los resultados de los diversos proyectos de investigación impulsados por los autores, para abordar varios aspectos de la ecología y los impactos negativos de los cerdos silvestres y jabalíes, y describir algunas de las potenciales técnicas de control y manejo de esta especie invasora.Fil: Carpinetti, Bruno Nicolás.

“Wild Meat” Consumption in the Bioko Island. An Outlook from Ecological Anthropology
No full textFil: Carpinetti, Bruno Nicolás. Universidad Nacional Arturo Jauretche. Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Administración. Área Gestión Ambiental / Ecología; Argentina.Fil: Fa, John E. Imperial College London; Reino Unido.Entender la explotación de la “carne de monte” por parte de cazadores comerciales o de subsistencia es fundamental para resolver las cuestiones referentes a la sostenibilidad de la caza en los bosques tropicales de África. El objetivo de este trabajo es examinar el impacto de la actividad de los cazadores en la isla de Bioko, República de Guinea Ecuatorial, y la importancia de la carne de monte para la población de la isla. Si bien existen numerosos estudios que indican que desde la década del ‘90 las capturas y la media de masa corporal de las presas disminuyeron a lo largo del periodo de estudio, lo que estaría indicando que su explotación a estos niveles es insostenible, las medidas adoptadas han sido escasas e insuficientes. En este trabajo, se revisa el estado del conocimiento sobre la problemática y se reflexiona sobre la necesidad de más estudios. Por último, se analiza cómo se pueden utilizar las herramientas de la antropología ecológica para avanzar en el entendimiento de la caza y consumo de “carne de monte”.Understanding the exploitation of bushmeat by commercial and subsistence hunters is fundamental to resolve hunting sustainability issues in African rainforests. The aim of this work is to examine the impact of the activity of the hunters in Bioko’s island, Equatorial Guinea and the importance of bushmeat for the wellbeing of human population of the island. Although numerous studies have been done that indicate the decline of captures and average of corporal mass of animal species taken since the 90´s, measures adopted have been scanty and insufficient. This paper reviews the state of knowledge about the problem of bushmeat use in Bioko Island, and suggests the need for further studies. Finally, it discusses how to use the tools of ecological anthropology in order to advance the understanding of hunting and consumption of “bushmeat”
Introducing “La fabrique du droit”. A Conversation with Bruno Latour
No full textBruno Latour talks with Paolo Landri about his book on the Conseil d'Etat (La Fabrique du droit). The conversation was held in 2006 at the time of the Italian translation of the book and illustrates the research project and the difficulties the author had in the field. At the same time, it clarifies the trajectories of Bruno Latour's work and theoretical framework of his program of study with respect to sociology, anthropology, and philosophy of law. The conversation helps to understand the open-ended character of Bruno Latour's research and reflection including STS as well as sociological, anthropological and philosophical themes

On Bruno Schulz’s Bookplates
No full textThe Polish version of the article was published in Roczniki Humanistyczne vol. 64, issue 1 (2016).
The article enters into a dialogue with the interpretation of Bruno Schulz’s bookplates made by Władysław Panas in his book Bruno od Mesjasza (Bruno of the Messiah) (Lublin 2001). An attempt to understand them in a different (less holistic) way leads the author of the article to the conclusion that in Schulz’s plates the first veiled variant of the mythical Book may be seen—of the fundamental motif of Bruno Schulz’s later literary work
Jordan "Bruno" Gegenhuber '16 Publishes First-Author Research
No full textJordan "Bruno" Gegenhuber '16 had first-author research, "Gene regulation by gonadal hormone receptors underlies brain sex differences," published in nature magazine on May 4, 2022.Jordan "Bruno" Gegenhuber '16 had first-author research, "Gene regulation by gonadal hormone receptors underlies brain sex differences," published in Nature magazine on May 4, 2022.
Sex hormones play a central role in shaping behavior throughout the animal kingdom, and this study maps where the receptor for estrogen binds to DNA in neurons that regulate rodent social interactions. The findings reveal that estrogen establishes lasting sex differences in gene expression and neuroanatomy during brain development, and identifies hundreds of genes that may mediate estrogen's effects on behavior and disease.
Gegenhuber earned a PhD from the Cold Springs Harbor Laboratory School of Biological Sciences in Long Island, N.Y.. in May 2022. His field of research is in neuroscience, and he has accepted a postdoctoral research position at Harvard Medical Center in Boston, Mass. He also holds the honor of being the Pacific Class of 2016 Valedictorian
Bruno Schulz i polityka
No full textBruno Schulz and politicsThe article discusses Bruno Schulz’s attitude toward politics. It is well known that the author of The Cinnamon Shops was a nonpolitical man. This was the reason for some fi erce attacks against his prose conducted by politically engaged literary critics in the interwar Poland. The author mentions these attacks but he also analyzes Schulz’s less known essays about Piłsudski, Aragon and Brecht, and the way Schulz pictured politics in his prose. It seems that a political dictionary of the author of The Street of Crocodiles comprised terms from different political ideologies; he alluded to Marx, anarchism and Brzozowski. At the end of his article the author discusses the question whether Schulz’s nonpolitical attitude could be compared to the so called conservative revolution in Germany after World War I
