Tesis para optar al grado académico de magíster en Estudios Internacionales / Esta investigación analiza la presencia internacional de Uruguay en el actual sistema internacional (2005-2015), tomando en cuenta su situación geográfica y los medios y recursos económicos militares y poder blando con los que cuenta. Con especial atención a su Presidente José Mujica, en tal sentido, el trabajo realiza una aproximación de las características personales, visión internacional y toma de decisión en temas de asuntos internacionales. En la presente tesis se mide la presencia económica, militar y blanda entre los Gobiernos de Tabaré Vázquez (2005-2010) y el Gobierno de José Mujica (2010-2015). El estudio realizado de esta forma, se analizaron las líneas estratégicas y toma de decisión en política exterior, identificando sus orientaciones tradicionales, así como los cambios incorporados de manera continua respecto de su inserción y presencia internacional por la impronta de José Mujica.

This dissertation is a multidisciplinary study combining both archaeological andpaleoecological data to examine the rise of early Formative societies in Uruguay, La Plata Basin.It is contextualized within broader anthropological concerns related to the emergence of culturalcomplexity, the significance of ritual and public architecture in intermediate-level societies, andthe role of human-environment interactions during the mid-Holocene. This investigationgenerated the first Late Quaternary paleoclimatic record, based on pollen and phytolith analyses,documenting that the mid-Holocene (ca. 6,620 to ca. 4,040 bp) was a period of environmentalflux and increased aridity. It describes the occupational history of the Los Ajos site from thecreation of a household-based community integrating a centralized communal space during thePreceramic Mound Component (ca. 4,120 – 3,000- 2,500 bp) to the Ceramic Mound Component(ca. 3,000 2,500 bp to the Contact Period), where Los Ajos acquired a strong public ritualcharacter through the formatilization and spatial segregation of its mounded architecture. Duringthe Ceramic Mound Period, the site exhibited both internal stratification (inner versus outerprecincts) and dual asymmetrical architecture in its central sector, which suggest the emergenceof incipient social differentiation. This study also marks the earliest occurrence of at least twodomesticated crops in the region: corn (Zea mays) and squash (Cucurbita spp.), showing that theearly Formative societies adopted a mixed economy shortly after 4,120 bp. Collectively, theseresults challenge the long-standing view that the La Plata Basin was a marginal area byevidencing an early and idiosyncratic emergence of social complexity never before registered inthis region of South America.

Using census data, a sample of partnered individuals and a logit model we found that this e ect is signi cant and depends on the individual's gender. While gay men are up to 8.1% less likely to participate in the workforce compared to married straight men, lesbians have a higher probability to participate in the labour force compared to their unmarried and married straight counterparts, varying from 17.3% up to 29.9% respectively. Trends between Chile and Uruguay are similar but the magnitude of the e ect on participation di ers signi cantly between countries.

This thesis investigates fifty years of Uruguayan cinema in order to revisit the relationship between cinema and nation, at a time in which transnational flows are putting into question the concept of nation and, more precisely, that of national cinema. This investigation also contributes to current discussions on the changing nature of cinema, generated by the fast adoption of digital technology and the imminent disappearance of film stock. Through the case of Uruguay, I explore the construction of national identity not only through the text, but also through the – filmic, digital and/or analogue – materiality of film. This approach incorporates aspects which are not usually studied together to contribute to the analysis of Uruguayan cinema in a manner potentially applicable to other nations with similar characteristics; that is to say, nations without an established film heritage and filmmaking tradition. Informed by writings on film, cultural, historical and archival studies, this thesis approaches films as ‘hybrid' rather than ‘pure' or ‘authentic' texts and media. I argue that both the text and materiality of films absorb, influence and reflect the dynamic processes involved in the construction of national identity. Rather than seeking for authenticity and homogeneity, this thesis stresses the necessity to focus on discontinuity and diversity. Therefore, it analyses lost and under-researched short, documentary, animation and institutional films and videos, alongside feature fiction films. First, I present a theoretical discussion on the relationship between nation and cinema, the concept of hybridity in film studies, and the importance of technology for production, preservation and access. This is followed by four chronological chapters in which the hybrid text and materiality of films are analysed in contexts of social and political upheaval; dictatorship, resistance and exile; transition; and neo-liberalism and globalisation. This thesis demonstrates that the ties between cinema and nation have not necessarily loosened in the global and digital age, and still deserve critical attention.

L'usage des médias, dans les conceptions populaires, est historiquement restreint à des formes commerciales de médias dans une optique de consommation. Cependant, les médias communautaires abordent l'usage des médias et la communication sociale d'une manière qui peut s'incorporer à l'intérieur des superstructures normatives de la société démocratique. Notre sujet d'étude, la radio communautaire, nous permet d'aborder cette problématique. Alors que nos ondes radiophoniques sont reconnues internationalement comme patrimoine social, les systèmes de réglementations actuels donnent des privilèges d'utilisation aux entreprises privées et commerciales plutôt qu'aux citoyens. Pour aborder cette problématique, nous considérons le rôle des systèmes nationaux des médias selon leurs relations communicationnelles avec le corps social. Ce mémoire explore les rôles, les potentiels et les limitations de la radio communautaire. Notre objectif est de faire une évaluation extensive de l'état actuel de la radio communautaire à Montréal au Québec et à Montevideo en Uruguay, et de proposer des étapes concrètes et pratiques pour développer ce genre de média à un niveau optimal. Notre travail se présente comme une étude de cas comparative dans laquelle nous employons la méthode qualitative d'analyse. L'essentiel de notre corpus se compose d'entrevues, d'observation participante et de textes de chercheurs spécialisés, ainsi que d'entretiens réalisés au sein d'associations de radios communautaires, de l'ensemble des radios communautaires à Montréal, d'une douzaine de diffuseurs communautaires à Montevideo et auprès de représentants du gouvernement. L'ensemble du temps consacré à cette recherche nous a révélé des faits intrigants. D'abord le potentiel du chercheur en communication comme élément catalyseur autant que son rôle possible d'acteur intermédiaire dans la réforme des politiques de la communication. Notre recherche s'appuie donc sur une perspective critique et pratique. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Alternatif, Politiques de la communication, Communautaire, Espace public, Réforme, Uruguay.
