“Siempre se pierde con la modernización”: Patrimonio histórico y economía cultural en el Mercado San Telmo / “One Always Loses with Modernization”: Historical Heritage and the Cultural Economy and the Mercado San Telmo
No full textDesde 2007, cuando el gobierno de Buenos Aires implementó su plan de renovación, el barrio de San Telmo en el Sur de Buenos Aires ha experimentado un proceso de renovación diseñado para atraer a turistas e inversores extranjeros. Un espacio afectado por este fenómeno de gentrificación turística es el Mercado San Telmo, un mercado comunitario que ha vendido alimentos y antigüedades a los residentes del barrio por más de cien años. Hace tres años, el mercado ha visto un influjo de nuevos negocios, específicamente los que venden productos artesanales y comida étnica, mientras que los vendedores que habían trabajado allá por décadas empezaron a abandonar sus puestos.
Esta investigación incluye observaciones en el mercado y entrevistas con algunos dueños de negocios que trabajan adentro del mercado, incluso verduleros, restauradores, anticuarios y dueños de boutiques. Estas entrevistas muestran cómo estos vendedores perciben los cambios en el mercado, en sus clientes y en la rentabilidad de sus negocios en el contexto de la gentrificación turística.
Para entender las fuerzas que causan este cambio en el ambiente comercial del mercado y analizar los varios efectos de la renovación, esta investigación utiliza la teoría económica de especialización flexible y la contextualiza en cuanto a las tendencias de la nueva industria turística. Estos principios son usados como un lente para ver las entrevistas y categorizar a los vendedores según sus estrategias y niveles de éxito. Esta estrategia también permite a la autora conectar los dinámicos cambios del Mercado San Telmo con las fuerzas más grandes que influyen la economía de Argentina, como la inflación y la demanda extranjera para productos culturales.
Finalmente, esta investigación propone que los negocios más exitosos en el mercado después de la renovación son los que venden bienes únicos con vínculos obvios con la cultura percibida de Argentina, y los que crean ambientes atractivos e históricos para los clientes. Esta estrategia funciona porque satisface los deseos de experiencias auténticas y el poder adquisitivo de los turistas permite que ellos consuman más mientras están en el mercado.

Since 2007, when the government of Buenos Aires implemented its urban renovation plan, the San Telmo neighborhood in the south of the city of Buenos Aires has experienced a process of renovation designed to attract tourists and foreign investors. One space affected by this phenomenon of tourism gentrification is the Mercado San Telmo (or San Telmo Market), a community market space that has sold grocery products and antiques to residents of the neighborhood for more than a hundred years. In the past three years, the market has seen an influx of new businesses, specifically those selling artisanal goods and ethnic food, while venders who had worked there for decades began to abandon their stalls.
This paper includes observations in the market and interviews with a number of business owners who work inside the market, including green grocers, restaurateurs, antiques dealers, and boutique owners. These interviews explore how these vendors perceive the changes in the market, their clients, and the profitability of their business in the context of tourism gentrification.
In order to understand the forces that cause this shift in the commercial environment of the market and analyze the renovation’s differing effects on various types of vendors, this paper utilizes the economic theory of flexible specialization and contextualizes it in the trends brought about by the new tourist industry. These principles are used as a lens through which to view the findings of the interviews so that vendors can be categorized by their business strategies and relative success. This theoretical approach also allows the author to connect the changed dynamics of the Mercado San Telmo to the larger forces shaping the economy of Argentina, namely inflation and foreign demand for cultural products.
Finally, this paper argues that the businesses that are most successful in the post-renovation market are those that sell unique goods clearly linked to the perceived culture of Argentina and create an attractive historic atmosphere for customers. This strategy is successful because it satisfies tourists’ desires for authentic experiences and the tourists’ purchasing power enables positions them to consume more while in the market

Taurhina Burmeister 1842
No full textGenus Taurhina Burmeister, 1842 The genus was revised together with related genera (e.g. Eudicella, Cyprolais, Mecynorrhina, Amaurodes) by Holm (1993b). Taurhina, as defined by this author, includes three subgenera (Neptunides Thomson, 1878, Rhamphorrhina Klug, 1855 and Taurhina). These taxa sometimes are treated at the subgenus level as was established by Holm (1993b) (e.g. Antoine & Minetti 2005; Beinhundner 2017a) or at the genus level (e.g. Krajcik 2008a). Here we follow the former criterion. Two species were previously recorded for Angola (Paulino de Oliveira 1882; Ferreira 1965). A new species record is given in this work.Published as part of Serrano, Artur R.

ATLAS Deliverable 10.4 2nd Environmental and Animal Ethical Report
No full textThis report compiles the environmental and animal ethical information, along with relevant permits and letters of support for research that has taken place during the first year of ATLAS. The nature of the research on animals undertaken by ATLAS has included sampling of invertebrate animals from the wild, preserving specimens for collections, transporting live animals to laboratories for aquarium experiments, and taking specimens for Marine Genetic Resources (MGR). Research on animals in ATLAS is being undertaken by WP2, WP3 and WP4 and makes use of both new samples collected and existing samples available in ATLAS partner’s labs. ATLAS partners providing or working with biological samples are expected to ensure that their work complies with their national legislation and ethical principles and also ensure relevant ethical approvals and permits are in place prior to starting their work
Chondrorrhina Kraatz 1880
No full textGenus Chondrorrhina Kraatz, 1880 This is a controversial taxon. The genus was treated as a subgenus of Plaesiorrhinella Krikken by Holm & Marais (1992). Later, Holm (1994) ranked Chondrorrhina as a subgenus under Pedinorrhina Kraatz, 1880. Antoine (2008) ranked the taxon to the genus level with two subgenera (Chondrorrhina and Plaesiorrhinella). Plaesiorrhinella was revised by Holm (1994) who synonymized it with Pedinorrhina [see also remarks in Holm & Sttobia (1995)], but Antoine (2008) reestablished it again as a subgenus under the genus Chondrorrhina, a criterion followed also by Beinhundner (2017a) (see also the comments on Pedinorrhina in this work). However, Krajcik (2008a) treated this taxon at the genus level. The genus Dyspilophora Kraatz, 1880, as well as Taeniesthes Kraatz, 1880, was synonymized with Chondrorrhina (Holm 1994). However, the ranking of this taxon remains controversial (e.g. Krajcik 2008a; Camiade 2015) and in need of revision, jointly with subgeneric taxa (e.g. Krajcik 2008a). Here we follow Beinhundner (2017a) criterion. This author recognized eleven species in this taxon. More two species were added recently (Garnier et al. 2018). There are five species/subspecies recorded for Angola previously (Paulino de Oliveira 1882; Ferreira 1965) and we provide a new species record for the country.Published as part of Serrano, Artur R.

Coenochilus parrianus Westwood 1883
No full textCoenochilus parrianus Westwood, 1883 Distribution: ANG. Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1)? Historic records: — Angola (without locality) (Westwood 1883). Material examined: none Remarks. The species was described from Angola (Westwood 1883). It is considered a controversial species and an incertae sedis (Schein 1954a). Schein (1954a) in the “general comments” (“I. Allgemeines”) referred to Coenochilus parrianus based in Schenkling (1921) catalogue (“ parrianus Westwood Tijdschr. voor Ent. 26 Seite 65 Angola ”). Taking into account this reference, it seems that the species considered by Schein (1954a) is indeed that which was described by Westwood (1883), i.e. Coenochilus parrianus from Angola. The same author stated also that the type of C. parrianus was unfortunately lost, concluding that “The Parrianus not mentioned in the Junk Schenkling catalog should therefore remain omitted” (“Der im Junk-Schenkling-Katalog ausgelassene Parrianus muss also weiter im Dunklen bleiben”). Biological and ecological data are not available, but see general comments in Schein (1954a) and the remarks under the genus Coenochilus.Published as part of Serrano, Artur R.

Historic records: —Quilo river (CAB) (Paulino de Oliveira 1882); —Malange (= Malanje) (MAL) (Quedenfeldt 1884); —Dundo (LNO) (Gomes Alves 1973). Material examined: Quilo River (= Chiloango River Mouth) (05º 11´S, 12º 08´E, sea alt., 5) (CAB), 1♂, 1 ♀, Nº 1882 (blue label), Anchieta leg., old collection, box nº VI-75, MZUC; Dundo (7º 22´S, 20º 50´E, 1470 m alt., 51) (LNO), -. III.1949, 2 ♂, 1 ♀, Nº 2132, Junta de Investigações Coloniais (Entomologia), IICT, MUHNAC. Remarks. The species is widespread throughout West and Central Africa being associated to the palm Elaeis guineensis (Antoine & Camiade 1995; Schoolmeesters 2018). Jerath & Unny (1965) gave a very scanty description of P. barbata larvae. One adult female collected by the first author (AS) in Jemberem (Guinea-Bissau, 13.VII.2009) in a moist primary forest (Cambeque) by LT had several phoretic Pseudoscorpionida. Some ecological data were provided by Antoine & Camiade (1995) and, more recently, Joly (2018) gave novel biodiversity information (abundance, habitat preference) of this species for Ghana.Published as part of Serrano, Artur R.

Lansbergia Ritsema 1888
No full textGenus <i>Lansbergia</i> Ritsema, 1888 <p> The genus was revised by Krajcik (2001), but there is some controversy on the number of valid species (see Drumont 2001). This author, taking into account the Krajcik’s (2001) work, registered four species. However, curiously Krajcik’s catalogue (2008a) recognized only two species, and the <i>Masoe</i> Péringuey, 1896 and <i>Trapezorrhina</i> Hauser, 1904 subgenera are considered synonyms of <i>Lansbergia</i>. Later Beinhundner (2013) added one new subspecies to <i>Lansbergia</i> (<i>Trapezorrhina</i>) <i>sordida</i> Hauser, 1904, a species synonymized with <i>L. albonotata</i> (Péringuey, 1885) by Krajcik (2008a). Whatever the number of species considered valid, one of them occurs in Angola (Lansberge 1886; Ferreira 1965; Krajcik 2008a).</p>Published as part of <i>Serrano, Artur R.
