Male holotype from Ecuador, Cotopaxi Province, OTONGA Biological Reserve (-00.41433 - 79.00035) 1888m, 3–16.viii.2014, pitfall trap, E. Tapia, C. Tapia, N. Dupérré (QCAZ). Male paratype OTONGA Biological Reserve Reserve (-00.41433 -79.00035) 1888m, 3–16.viii.2014, in Dipluridae web, E. Tapia, C. Tapia, N. Dupérré (QCAZ). Etymology. The specific name is in honor of the first author mother Marie-Berthe Girard for her support. Diagnosis. Males are distiguished from all species by their very short clypeus (Fig. 51). Males most resemble A. anabelleae due to the lack of cusps on metatarsus and tarsus I but can be distinguished by their long and pointed conductor (Figs 20, 21, 21a), shorter and angular in the latter species (Figs 1, 2). Description. Male (holotype): Total length: 0.94; carapace length: 0.37; carapace width: 0.44; abdomen length: 0.57; abdomen width: 0.49; clypeus height: 0.08. Cephalothorax: Carapace orange; pars cephalica puntated, with Y-shaped punctation reaching lateral eyes; cephalic groove shallow, slightly punctated; pars thoracica dorsally rugose, margin slightly punctated (Fig. 51). Sternum orange, suffused with dark gray, punctated, longer than wide and covered with setae. Clypeus orange, punctated. Chelicerae orange, excavated medially; with one basal tooth and denticulate plate apically. Eyes: 6 eyes, rounded; AME absent, ALE separated by their radius, ALE-PLE contiguous, LE-PME separated by their radius, PME contiguous. Abdomen: rounded, with dorsal orange scutum; soft portion whitish without sclerites, laterally suffused with stripes of dark gray; spinneret scutum complete. Legs: Orange; metatarsus I and tarsus I without cusp (Fig. 22); metatarsus II slightly enlarged with one ventral cusp; tarsus II without cusp (Fig. 23). Genitalia: Palpal patella with small anvil-shaped, ventrally curved retrolateral apophysis; palpal tibia with one retrolateral trichobothrium; small scoop-shaped retrolateral apophysis (Fig. 21). Cymbium cup-shaped, without extension (Figs 20, 21). Embolus short not reaching tip of conductor; conductor transparent, faintly ridged, sinuous, pointed (Figs 20, 21, 21a). Female: Unknown. Distribution. Ecuador: Known only from the type locality. Natural History. The only two males known were collected at 1,888m. Remark. One specimen was collected while collecting a Dipluridae web. It is not possible to determine if this species is a kleptoparasite since the specimen was not observed in the web. The specimen could have been collected while collecting debris surrounding the web.Published as part of Dupérré, Nadine & Tapia, Elicio, 2018, Further discoveries on the minuscule spiders from the Chocó region of Ecuador with the description of seven new species of Anapis (Araneae: Anapidae), pp. 482-506 in Zootaxa 4459 (3) on page 490, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.145881
"Ponernos el espejo por delante": Staging Race in Alejandro Tapia y Rivera's La cuarterona
No full textÚnico por ser texto abolicionista escrito para estrenarse en la esfera pública del teatro, La cuarterona (1867), del puertorriqueño Alejandro Tapia y Rivera, ofrece un estudio nítido de las operaciones de la raza en el Caribe hispánico colonial. Este artículo considera el contexto de la creación y la performance del drama, las conexiones entre la obra y otros textos abolicionistas narrativos, y la cuestión de cómo y por qué Tapia se vale del teatro para tratar el tema de la raza y el colonialismo. Semejante a otros textos decimonónicos, La cuarterona proyecta la imagen de una identidad colectiva emergente que refleja el reformismo liberal de la época. Como pieza de teatro, sin embargo, se distingue por su presentación de la dinámica del poder ver y ser visto en una sociedad en la cual las identidades raciales híbridas hacían que la diferencia racial se hiciera cada vez más difícil de percibir.

“Doing What Has to Be Done”: Artistic Careers and the Articulation of Individual and Collective in Buenos Aires Rap
No full textEl objetivo del presente artículo es mostrar el modo en que se sostienen las carreras artísticas de los miembros de una banda de rap de Buenos Aires y cómo en ellas se construye una particular articulación entre el desarrollo colectivo y el personal. Así, mediante una investigación basada en observación participante y entrevistas, se propone que tales dinámicas se asocian a maneras específicas de hacer rap, considerando sus formas flexibles de creación musical, presentación en vivo y una cierta jerarquía reputacional. Estos procesos se evalúan considerando su asociación con las transformaciones de los mundos musi-cales de esta ciudad, derivadas de fenómenos como la digitalización y los cambios en los gustos juveniles, lo que abre nuevas oportunidades y desafíos para dedicarse a esta música. Finalmente, se plantea que este caso permite vislumbrar una singular valoración de individuos hiperconectados en situaciones de fragilidad.The objective of this article is to show how the artistic careers of the members of a rap band from Buenos Aires are sustained and how a particular articulation between collective and personal development is built on them. Thus, through research-based on participant observation and interviews, it is proposed that those dynamics are associated with specific ways of doing rap, specif-ying their flexible forms of musical creation, live performance, and a certain reputational hierarchy. These processes are evaluated by detecting their association with the transformations of the musical worlds of this city, derived from phenomena such as digitiza-tion and changes in youth tastes, which opens up new opportunities and challenges to dedicate this music. Finally, it is proposed that this case allows a singular valuation of hyper-connected individuals in situations of fragility to be glimpsedFil: Muñoz Tapia, Sebastian Matías.

The Relationship Between Exchange Rates and Inflation Targeting Revisited
No full textThis paper deals with the relationship between inflation targeting and exchange rates. I address three specific issues: first, I analyze the effectiveness of nominal exchange rates as shock absorbers in countries with inflation targeting. This issue is closely related to the magnitude of the “passthrough” coefficient. Second, I investigate whether exchange rate volatility is different in countries with an inflation targeting regime than in countries with alternative monetary policy arrangements. And third, I discuss whether the exchange rate should play a role in determining the monetary policy stance under inflation targeting. An alternative way of posing this question is whether the exchange rate should have an independent role in an open economy Taylor rule.
Un liberalismo extravagante: La Sataniada, de Alejandro Tapia y Rivera
No full textThis article examines the long poem La Sataniada (1878) by Puerto Rican author Alejandro Tapia in terms of both content and form. It discusses the limitations of previous studies and demonstrates the axis of the text is the dilemma of Nineteenth-Century European liberalism that sought to dismantle absolutism while avoiding the excesses of revolution and Jacobinism, to criticize the cult of moneyed wealth without promoting anti-bourgeois rebellion, and to attack the privileges of the Catholic Church without embracing atheism. The article examines how this dilemma is also present in other works by Tapia, such as Mis memorias and Póstumo el transmigrado. It examines how the combination of bold mix of epochs and historical figures with the strict adherence to an invariable strophic forro (around one thousand octavas reales) also corresponds to that wish for political change while avoiding its possible excesses.El artículo discute el extenso poema La Sataniada (1878) del autor puertorriqueño Alejandro Tapia desde el punto del contenido y forma. Se examinan las limitaciones de los estudios anteriores y se demuestra que el eje central de la obra es el dilema del liberalismo europeo del Siglo XIX que aspira a superar el absolutismo, pero evitar los excesos de las revoluciones y del jacobinismo, criticar el culto del dinero sin fomentar la rebelión anti-burguesa y atacar los privilegios de la Iglesia Católica sin abrazar el ateísmo. Se demuestra que este problema está igualmente presente en otros textos de Tapia, como Mis memorias y Póstumo el Transmigrado. Se discute cómo la audacia en la combinación de épocas y figuras históricas con una invariable y estricta forma estrófica (alrededor de mil octavas reales) corresponde al mismo deseo de cambio político a la vez que se evitan sus posibles excesos

Exchange Rates in Emerging Countries: Eleven Empirical Regularities from Latin America and East Asia
No full textIn this paper I discuss some of the most important lessons on exchange rate policies in emerging markets during the last 35 years. The analysis is undertaken from the perspective of both the Latin American and East Asian nations. Some of the topics addressed include: the relationship between exchange rate regimes and growth, the costs of currency crises, the merits of “dollarization,” the relation between exchange rates and macroeconomic stability, monetary independence under alternative exchange rate arrangements, and the effects of the recent global “currency wars” on exchange rates in commodity exporters.

Between niches and popularity: (T)rap in Buenos Aires from 2001 to 2018
No full textEn este trabajo doy cuenta del rap de Buenos Aires posterior al 2001, observando la imbricación de cuestiones sociales y estéticas bajo un enfoque de las ‘mediaciones’ y ‘mundos del arte’. Para esto, analizo sus inicios en tiempos de crisis económico-social y la importancia que en su desarrollo adquiere la democratización de las tecnologías digitales. Observo la generación de diversos nichos (con clivajes de clase, generacionales y estéticos) y un proceso de popularización de la mano del freestyle-improvisación y el subgénero trap. Muestro una diversificación y una acelerada masificación asociadas a la digitalización y eventos autogestivos, en que aparece la producción por estudios de grabación caseros y videoclips subidos a internet. A la vez, destaco la participación de agentes estatales, grandes productoras de eventos, periodistas, empresas de streaming y sellos major. Para concluir, propongo que las diferencias internas en esta música no refieren a homologías directas entre sectores sociales y tipos de rap.In this paper I aim to study rap in Buenos Aires after 2001 observing the link between social and aesthetic aspects, from a perspective of ‘mediation’ and ‘worlds of art’. For this purpose, I analyze its origins in times of socio-economic crisis and the importance that the democratization of digital technology has had in its unraveling. I observe the development of diverse niches (related to class, generation or aesthetics cleavages), and a process of popularization related to freestyle-improvisation and trap as a sub-genre. As I will show, there is a diversification and a fast popularization associated with digitalization and selfmanagement events, giving rise to home recording studios and video clips uploaded to the internet. Also, I point out the role of the State, big shows organizers, journalists, streaming agencies and major record labels. Finally, I propose that the internal differences in this music do not refer directly to homologies between social classes and different styles of rap.Fil: Muñoz Tapia, Sebastian Matías.
