Why are (human) lives political? Interview with Ariel Colonomos
No full textSite du CERIHow do we price lives? This question, far from being rhetorical, refers to notions that lie at the core of the political. Ethically, from a principled approach perspective, lives have an infinite value. However, politically, lives can be valued in material terms, i.e. they can be put in balance with material interest, whether these interests are monetary or political (such as the national interest). Ariel Colonomos, author of the recently published Pricing Lives (Oxford University Press, 2023), answers our questions and helps us better understand this crucial philosophical question.

Rodó y su Ariel : el Ariel de Rodó
No full textEl artículo presenta al autor de Ariel Rodó, como integrante de la promoción literaria uruguaya, como uno de los exponentes del modernismo y como pensador que pertenece a la generación de los Fundadores. Parte de la problemática Ariel- Calibán como símbolo latinoamericano y de la postulación de Ariel como discurso antiimperialista para situar la pregunta respecto de la función de la educación en la constitución del joven latinoamericano como sujeto social portador de sentido del proyecto nacional. Se tratan luego las figuras que se desprenden de los Prósperos, los Calibanes y los Arieles concebidos como la pluralidad de perspectivas desde las que transcurren las vidas de los sujetos y de los espacios desde los cuales las naciones se paran para mirarse unas a otras.This article introduces the author of Ariel, Rodó, as a member of the Uruguayan literary community, as well as one of the figures of expressionism, and as a thinker who belongs to the generation of the founders. It starts off from the Ariel-Calíban conflict as a Latin American symbol and from the postulation of Ariel as an antiilllpenallst discourse to pose the question about the function of education in the formation of the young Latin American as a social subject that bears the true sense of the national project. The study finally arrives at a meeting with the figures that derive themselves from the Prosperos, the Callbans and the Ariels conceived as the pluralism of the perspectives in which the lives of the subjects are Iived in the spaces from which the nations stand up in arder to take a look at one another.Fil: Alvarado, Mariana

No full textEl siguiente trabajo indaga los significados producidos a partir del primer cruce a nado del Río de la Plata (desde Colonia, Uruguay a Punta Lara, Argentina) realizado por Lilian Harrison en 1923. Analizando una variedad de fuentes primarias, especialmente la prensa general y deportiva y a partir de los estudios de género, el trabajo focaliza la atención en los distintos significados construidos sobre la diferencia sexual y la femineidad. Entre los resultados se destacan los estereotipos de género transmitidos y, también, las contradicciones, ambivalencias y resistencias sobre ese gran significante que representó Lilian Harrison al convertirse en la primera persona en realizar dicho cruce.The following work explores the meanings produced from the first crossing of la Plata river (from Colonia, Uruguay to Punta Lara, Argentina) by Lilian Harrison in 1923. Analyzing a variety of primary sources, especially the general and sports press and from gender studies, this article focuses attention on the different meanings built on sexual difference and femininity. Among the results, the transmitted gender stereotypes stand out, as well as the contradictions, ambivalences and resistances on that great signifier that Lilian Harrison represented when she became the first person to make such a crossing.Fil: Scharagrodsky, Pablo Ariel.

Hypsugo ariel
No full text94. Fairy Pipistrelle Hypsugo ariel French: Vespére ariel / German: Elfen-Zwergfledermaus / Spanish: Hypsugo ariel Other common names: Ariel Pipistrelle, Bodenheimer's Pipistrelle, Desert Pipistrelle, Egyptian Desert Pipistrelle Taxonomy. Pipistrellus ariel Thomas, 1904, “Eastern Egyptian desert, lat. 22° N., long. 35° E. Lat. [Sudan]. 2000 feet [= 610 m].” The genus Hypsugo is often subsumed into Pipistrellus, and several species have repeatedly been switched around as belonging to Pipistrellus, Neoromicia, or Hypsugo. Genetic data place the currently listed members of Hypsugo within Vespertilionini along with Neoromicia but to the exclusion of Pipustrellus (which is in Pipistrellini). Hypsugo as currently defined remains paraphyletic and, based on limited species sampling, Eurasian species (true Hypsugo) appear to form a monophyletic clade sister to the Australasian genera of Vespertilionini, whereas the African species may be better placed in Nycticeinops (H. eisentrauti and H. crassulus) or Neoromicia (H. anchieta and H. bemainty). These projected transfers are withheld for the present, as to date not all African species of Hypsugo (H. musciculus) and Neoromicia have been assessed phylogenetically, so the full picture is not yet clear. Hypsugo ariel is often placed in Pipustrellus, but genetic data clearly situate it in Hypsugo, within the Eurasian (true Hypsugo) clade, close to H. arabicus and H. savii. Hypsugo ariel includes bodenheimeri as a synonym, based on genetic and morphological data. Monotypic. Distribution. Palestine, S Israel, SWJordan, NE Egypt (Sinai), NE & SC Sudan, W Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and SW Oman; it may occur in SE Egypt, and there is a purported record from C Kenya, but these need verification. Descriptive notes. Head-body 35-45 mm, tail 32-44 mm, ear 9-14-1 mm, hindfoot 5-6 mm, forearm 28-1-33-7 mm; weight 2:3—4-8 g. Pelage of the Fairy Pipistrelle is not dense; dorsally it is pale pinkish brown to pale grayish cream or off-white cream, with underlying color showing through (hairs are blackish brown basally); ventrally it is generally paler brownish cream to off-white (hairs with blackish-brown base and pale grayish-cream tip). Bare face, ears, limbs, and digits are pinkish to dark pinkish brown. Ears are relatively short with convex inner margins, concave outer margins, and rounded tip; tragus has maximum breadth thatis only slightly less than length of its anterior margin, straight anterior margin, smoothly convex posterior margin with distinct lobule basally, and rounded tip. Membranes are pale brown and semitranslucent (uropatagium is apparently lighter than wings); Postcalcarial lobe is very narrow and tail projects slightly beyond uropatagium (last two vertebrae). Penisis relatively short with glans covered in long fine hairs. Baculum is short (1-4-1-8 mm) with upturned tip; shaft is wide in dorsal view, gradually widening just before narrowed and pointed tip, and thinner in lateral view; base is bulbous and non-bifurcated. Skull is small and gracile; braincase is relatively narrow and moderately high; rostrum is flattened and relatively narrow; forehead when viewed laterally is strongly concave; sagittal crest is extremely reduced and lambdoidal crests are absent. I” varies between unicuspid and bicuspid; I? is about two-thirds length of I?; P* is minute and sometimes not visible above gum and displaced lingually; C' and P* are in contact; and lower molars are myotodont. Dental formula for all members of Hypsugois 12/3, C 1/1, P 2/2, M 3/3 (x2) = 34 (but see H. alaschanicus and H. musciculus). Habitat. Rocky areas, deserts, and semi-deserts, where it often occurs around oases and other water bodies. Also known to occur around farms and irrigated areas in Jordan. Recorded at elevations of 345-1224 m. Food and Feeding. Foraging individuals were captured in Jordan in a rocky canyon, at a small spring, and in an old village garden, suggesting Fairy Pipistrelles mostly forage in open areas, although they have also been observed foraging around trees. They seem to fly close to the ground while foraging and are fairly maneuverable. Fifty-five fecal pellets in Jordan contained a variety of insects, including Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Heteroptera, Hymenoptera, Nematocera, Neuroptera, and Trichoptera, being dominated by small Lepidoptera in Al Ghal, and Coleoptera in Wadi Al Hasa. Digestive tracts in Sinai, Egypt, showed high proportions (80% by volume) of small Coleoptera (including 60% Scarabaeidae and 20% Tenebrionidae), along with smaller amounts of Brachycera (10%), Lepidoptera (7%), and Auchenorrhyncha (3%). Fairy Pipistrelles appear to shift their diet based on availability. They have also been recorded feeding on arachnids, which suggests that they may glean prey occasionally. Breeding. In Jordan, a single pregnant female was captured in May with two well-developed fetuses, suggesting that births probably occur around late May in that region. In Palestine and Israel, the Fairy Pipistrelle appears to give birth in late April to May, as a pregnant female was captured in April with two embryos, and lactating females were captured from May to July. In Israel, subadults were first captured in June and made up 50% of individuals captured in July and August. Activity patterns. The Fairy Pipistrelle is known to roost in cracks and crevices in rocks during the day, foraging by night. In the Negev HighlandsofIsrael, this species expressed a bimodal nightly activity pattern, being most active during the first and last hoursof the night. It is active throughout the year, but during a summer night, there may be as many as 20 times more individuals active than on winter nights. Fairy Pipistrelles hibernate during winter, but arouse to forage and have been captured at temperatures as low as 11°C. Search-call shapeis a steep FM/QCFsweep with a very short CF portion; records fromJordan had start frequencies of47-7-75 kHz, end frequencies of 30-47-4 kHz, peak frequencies of 43-4—49 kHz, durations of 2-4-7-2 milliseconds, and interpulse intervals of 45-193 milliseconds. In Sinai, Egypt, start frequencies were 48-3-87 kHz, end frequencies 41-6-45-7 kHz, peak frequencies 44-3—49-1 kHz, durations 2-6-5-9 milliseconds, and interpulse intervals 31-8-186 milliseconds. In Israel, start frequencies were 45-83.9 kHz (mean 56-3 kHz), end frequencies 42-9—49-8 kHz (mean 46-1 kHz), peak frequencies 42-8-53-7 kHz (mean 48-2 kHz), and duration averaged 3-2 milliseconds. Movements, Home range and Social organization. A colony of 20 Fairy Pipistrelles was observed leavingits castle ruin roost in Saudi Arabia. This species probably roosts in relatively small groups or solitarily. Status and Conservation. Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List (as Pipistrellus ariel). The full distribution of the species is still uncertain, and very little is known of threats. It may be threatened by agricultural expansion and general habitat loss. Bibliography.
