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

El negro en la literatura cubana
No full textQuest’articolo offre una panoramica della presenza, del trattamento e delle questioni riguardanti il nero in opere letterarie cubane. Partendo dalla premessa che letteratura e storia sono indissolubilmente legate, ogni autore ed opera vengono analizzati nel contesto storico che li vede nascere. Si tenta altrettanto di indagare sul ruolo che detto contesto assume come forza condizionante su contenuti ed atteggiamenti letterari, ora come spinta propulsiva, ora come freno. Una conclusione che si può ricavare dall’analisi di questa presenza letteraria è che il personaggio del nero, dall’inizio della letteratura a Cuba fino ad oggi, è stato piuttosto uno strumento per trasmettere concetti di varia natura secondo l’interesse dell’autore, seguendo diverse stereotipie. Una riflessione organica di ciò che è e significa essere nero continua ad essere un’eccezione nella letteratura cubana, ancora succube di modelli estetici generati altrove.This paper presents an overview of the presence and treatment of black and black-related issues in Cuban literary works. Starting from the premise that literature and history are inextricably linked, each Author and work are analyzed into the historical context where they belong. It equally attempts at investigating the role of history as a force conditioning literary contents and attitudes, either giving impetus or inhibiting them. One conclusion that can be drawn from the analysis of this literary presence is that the black, since the beginning of literature in Cuba until today, have been rather a tool to convey concepts of varied nature in the interests of the Author, on the basis of using imparted stereotypes. An organic reflection of what is and means to be black remains an exception in Cuban literature, still under the thumb of aesthetic patterns generated elsewhere.Este artículo ofrece una panorámica de la presencia y tratamiento del negro y de lo negro en obras literarias cubanas. A partir de la premisa de que literatura e historia se encuentran indisolublemente ligadas, cada autor y obra se analizan en el contexto histórico que los ve nacer. En igual medida se intenta indagar en el papel de la historia como condicionadora, dando impulso o frenando, de contenidos y posturas literarias. Una conclusión que se puede recabar del análisis de esta presencia literaria es que el negro, desde los inicios de la literatura en Cuba hasta el día de hoy, ha sido más bien un instrumento para vehicular conceptos de variada naturaleza según los intereses del autor, sobre la base de recurrir a ciertos estereotipos. Un reflejo orgánico de lo que es y representa ser negro sigue siendo una excepción en la literatura cubana, aún sujeta a patrones estéticos gestados en otras latitudes
The cost and performance of paid agricultural extension services : the case of agricultural technology transfer in Nicaragua
No full textBudgets for extension services have been reduced in many countries. One response to these reductions in public services in some countries has been to privatize extension services - with extension services provided for a fee, by either public agencies or private companies. Under the new approach, producers become clients instead of beneficiaries. The authors examine ways to measure the cost of providing paid-extension services and its performance and apply these indicators to data on Nicaragua, where paid extension has existed for several years. Data were insufficient to compare the quality of privately and publicly provided extension services, but available data suggest that the costs of extension have declined over time. Results suggest that paid extension is feasible and has a positive impact, even in a relatively poor country such as Nicaragua. The national system for agricultural technology-transfer services was redesigned to include three main modules: mass media and free demonstrations; cofinanced extension services; and private extension services. The relatively high cost recovery rates in Nicaragua and the economic performance of the two paid programs show that even poor farmers are willing to pay for a service that improves their economic efficiency and ability to earn a living. To the surprise of everyone involved, Nicaragua's producer clients understood that without cost-sharing, the system would not endure.ICT Policy and Strategies,Agricultural Knowledge&Information Systems,Environmental Economics&Policies,Enterprise Development&Reform,Montreal Protocol,Agricultural Knowledge&Information Systems,ICT Policy and Strategies,Environmental Economics&Policies,Governance Indicators,General Technology
