Memoria para optar al Título de Periodista / La aristocracia en nuestro país cobra relevancia desde la conquista de Chile (1810), por lo mismo, es pertinente entender parte de los mecanismos de dominación que dieron como resultado la perpetuación del poder social, económico, político. Dentro de las razones por las cuales existe la dominación, es porque existe también un poder simbólico que superpone a cualquier otro individuo social, aquel que le permite ser una referencia. ¿Habrá influido la fotografía de las grandes fiestas y rituales aristocráticos en la perpetuación de su imagen dominante? ¿Por qué habrían de fotografiarse mientras realizan actividades que ostentan sus lujos o su superioridad? La pregunta de investigación obedece al mismo asunto: ¿Qué es lo que la elite dice con las fotografías de ritos y ceremonias de los años 1850 a 1930? Para intentar responder a esta interrogante, realizamos un trabajo de recopilación histórica de imágenes aristocráticas de dichos años, que posteriormente fueron analizadas. Estos últimos fueron seleccionados en un marco teórico, donde se atribuyeron valores simbólicos a los distintos signos y características de las fotos, ya sean actitudes de los personajes, los personajes mismos, las posiciones, el vestuario, etc. Se trabajó también con matrices que ordenaron la información, de manera de pudimos determinar, cuáles son las características que predominaban en estas fotos y los formatos que más se repitieron, y por lo tanto, encontramos los elementos comunes, evaluando si eran parte de una tendencia temporal y de clase, según el significado que los textos nos permitan. Ahora, una vez entendida la labor de la fotografía en la sociedad, logramos también tener una visión clara acerca de la manera en que es posible por medio de la imagen, generar en el imaginario común, cierta dominación política económica y social. Esta investigación fue enmarcada en la implementación del proyecto “El ojo mecánico. Tecnologías visuales y estéticas políticas en Chile (1850 – 1930)”, adjudicado en el Concurso Regular Nacional de proyectos FONDECYT 2013 por los profesores Carlos Ossa Swears (Investigador Responsable) y Lorena Antezana Barrios (co-investigadora) del Instituto de la Comunicación e Imagen de la Universidad de Chile.

Investigation centered on performance lA (the ability to create, recall, and manipulate images during action) as a potential factor for competitive separation (athletic distinction between high and low performers). More specifically, research examined which of several imagery functions or types were the best predictors of successful basketball game performance. It was hypothesized that kinesthetic imagery and cognitive imagery would be the most important imagery functions. The Basketball Background Questionnaire (BBQ; Eslinger, 2002), Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised (MIQ-R; Hall & Martin, 1997), and the Sport Imagery Questionnaire (SIQ; Hall, Mack, Paivio, & Hausenblas, 1998) were utilized as measures of lA while physical performance was calculated using the Basketball-Performance Statistic Rating (B-PSR; Eslinger, 2002). Additional data was collected from selected athletes to identify characteristics related to imagery use and development. Results from correlation, multiple regression, t-tests, ANOVA, and discriminant function analyses suggest that, in general, basketball performance is best enhanced through kinesthetic imagery and motivational specific imagery. Elite players are able to perform consistently at a high level because they have an ability to feel the action and increase their internal drive for success before and during games. Surprisingly, cognitive general imagery scores were higher in low-level players, suggesting these athletes think "too much" during competition. In addition, depending on gender, playing position, and NCAA division, other types of imagery may be important influences of performance. Differences and associations between high and low performers and imagers as they relate to the B-PSR and seven types of imagery ability are discussed. A new model of performance imagery is highlighted based on previous theories and current results. Directions for future research are covered that shape sport psychology research, application, and possible imagery training techniques for basketball players and coaches. / 2031-01-01

Esta pesquisa se enquadra ao grupo de trabalhos que estudam as dinâmicas econômicas no Sul de Minas, especificamente entre os séculos XIX e XX, momento este de transição para uma sociedade capitalista e em que o país passava por um processo de modernização. Nosso objeto de estudo, Pouso Alegre, se consolidou como um dos principais municípios do Sul de Minas no período proposto neste estudo, por possuir o maior número de habitantes da região, estando em um ponto estratégico, o que a tornou uma espécie de centro abastecedor regional. Diferentemente de outras cidades da região, em que o dinamismo econômico era resultado da expansão da produção de café, em Pouso Alegre a agricultura de abastecimento foi a responsável pelo crescimento e constituição de um dos mais importantes mercados regionais do Sul de Minas. Com a documentação levantada, abordou-se o processo de urbanização do município, por meio das Atas da Câmara Municipal e documentos do legislativo; os registros de imóveis nos demonstrou, partindo das transações de imóveis rurais e urbanos, as dinâmicas ocorridas nos espaços da cidade e seus distritos; e, por fim, os inventários post-mortem nos deram pistas sobre a constituição da elite e das faixas de riqueza local. Com esta documentação e as demais leituras bibliográficas iniciamos a construção de uma história econômica de Pouso Alegre e da região do Sul de Minas. / This research is part of the group of studies that study economic dynamics in the South of Minas Gerais, specifically between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a transition period for a capitalist society in which the country underwent modernization. Our object of study, Pouso Alegre, was consolidated as one of the main municipalities of the South of Minas in the period proposed in this study, because it possesses the greatest number of inhabitants of the region, being in a strategic point, which made it a kind of center supplier regional. Unlike other cities in the region, where economic dynamism was a result of the expansion of coffee production, in Pouso Alegre, supply agriculture was responsible for the growth and constitution of one of the most important regional markets in the South of Minas. With the documentation raised, the process of urbanization of the municipality was approached, through the Municipal Camera Acts and legislative documents; the real estate records showed us, starting from the transactions of rural and urban properties, the dynamics that took place in the spaces of the city and its districts; and finally, post-mortem inventories have given us clues about the establishment of the elite and the local wealth. With these documents and the other bibliographical readings, we began the construction of an economic history of Pouso Alegre and expanded that of the South of Minas region.

Il s’agit dans ce travail d’étudier la formation et les transformations d’une élite urbaine à travers le prisme du cabildo de Puebla de Los Angeles en Nouvelle-Espagne, ville fondée par les Espagnols en 1531. L‘élite, qui se met en place dans les premières années, est essentiellement issue du monde des conquistadores. La charge de regidor est alors une grâce royale reçue en récompense de leur participation à la conquête. Des relations étroites se nouent entre les différents regidores qui, rapidement, forment un même clan familial dominé par les Díaz de Vargas et les Villanueva. Mais à partir de 1591 et la mise en place de la vénalité des offices, les cartes sont redistribuées. De nouveaux membres issus d’autres groupes sociaux et économiques entrent au cabildo : les obrajeros et les mercaderes. S’ensuivent des tensions entre les différents groupes et une recomposition de cette élite non plus sur des bases militaires mais économiques, recomposition impulsée par des stratégies familiales diverses. La formation de cette nouvelle élite, dominée par les mercaderes, n’a pas entrainé la disparition de l’ancienne, au contraire, elle lui est nécessaire pour acquérir le statut social qui lui manque. Ainsi ce nouveau groupe de regidores plus hétérogène rassemble toutes les composantes de l’élite économique et sociale de la ville de Puebla : conquistadores, obrajeros et mercaderes. / The goal of this contribution is to study the construction and the evolution of the elite through the structure of the "cabildo" of Puebla de Los Angeles in New Spain. This city was founded by spaniars settlers in 1531. The elite that was stablished during the very first years is essentially composed by spaniards conquerors. The office of "regidor" is then a royal grace received as a reward for their participation in the conquest war. Very close relationships are established between the different regidores who, quickly, form the same family clan dominated by the Díaz de Vargas and the Villanueva. But as of 1591 and the establishment of the venality process of the offices, the cards are redistributed. New members from other social and economic groups enter the cabildo: the obrajeros and the mercaderes. There follows tensions between the different groups and a recomposition of this elite no longer following military bases but economic, recomposition driven by different family strategies. The composition of this new elite, dominated by the mercaderes, did not lead to the disappearance of the old one. On the contrary, it is necessary for the new power class to acquire the lacking social status. Thus this new group has all the components of the new economic and social elite of the city of Puebla: conquistadores, obrajeros and mercaderes
