Elegí continuar con este estudio y convertirlo en tesis, pues me pareció que la relación entre el agua y la salud, frente a la experiencia indígena, adquiere matices poco explorados, demostrando en su arbitrariedad caprichosa, las raíces ideológicas en las que fue cultivado y las consecuencias que tiene incluir a “la salud de las poblaciones” (una visión única y hegemónica de la salud), como argumento fundamental en la actual discusión mundial sobre gestión del agua.

The Hispanic phenomenon of the pronunciamiento, particularly prominent in nineteenth-century Mexico, is just one example of an insurrectionary political act that has contributed to the traditional portrait of chaos and disorder that has tainted much of our interpretation of the country‟s socio-political history. Once considered to be a violent, non-ideological, praetorian military act, recent studies reveal that the pronunciamiento was primarily a written petition that sought to further political proposals or address particular grievances through negotiation (albeit often backed by the threat of force). Although the military were largely the most visible leaders of the pronunciamiento, a plethora of political and civilian actors and interest groups partook in the practice with the intention of having their grievances/demands attended to by the national government. As well as being viewed as one of the causes of chronic instability, the pronunciamiento was also the primary mechanism employed to bring about tangible political changes throughout the country. At the local level of San Luis Potosí, the pronunciamiento seed also germinated and was used by all political groups and factions in their negotiations with local and national authorities alike. Local interests were often at the heart of these negotiations and so dictated the nature of the pronunciamiento in San Luis Potosí. This dissertation will explore and analyse the pronunciamiento practice, its origins, dynamics and nature, from the regional perspective of San Luis Potosí. Bearing in mind that the pronunciamiento was borne out of, and operated in a specific socio-political-economic context of constitutional disarray and transition, its analysis will also further our understanding of the broader socio-political culture not only of San Luis Potosí, but of Mexico in general. This in turn will contribute to the acknowledged need for reinterpretation and revaluation of the tumultuous period of early nineteenth-century Mexico. It will expose the period as an age of democratic revolutions; of intense political debate between emergent political groups and factions, who increasingly used the pronunciamiento to further an ideological stance, represent a spectrum of interests and force some kind of political change both at a national and regional level when all other constitutional options had been exhausted.

The primary focus of this project is with the interaction between nature and people. How did the Obispeno Chumash affect their surroundings and what was the outcome? Did changes occur in the environment when other people took over the care of the land? Over the last 250 years, the Obispeno Chumash land has evolved from an ecologically green dominion under their stewardship to the present day where the area is noted for its mission, recreational value, wealth of opportunity, and a nuclear power plant located between Morro Bay and Point Buchon along the ocean.

aL'objectif de cette recherche est l'analyse de la remise en cause par la diffusion du paradigme environnemental de la pratique de l'épandage des eaux usées urbaines et du système socio-spatial qui lui est associé. L'épandage agricole, mode de traitement intimement lié à la modernisation des villes de la fin du XIX et du début du XX, est devenu objet de controverses, en raison de sa stigmatisation comme activité à risque. Il n'en reste pas moins une pratique généralisée autour des villes en croissance rapide et promue dans le cadre de politique de développement. Cette thèse étudie au niveau global, son émergence et les controverses qu'elle suscite et pour le cas mexicain (en particulier la ville de San Luis Potosi) les relations entre cette pratique, les politiques urbaines et environnementales, et la façon dont les acteurs des territoires façonnés par l'épandage tentent de construire les modalités de leur permanence aux marges des villes.

This thesis examines the bicycle cultures found in the United States and the Netherlands. The cities of Claremont, California, San Luis Obispo, California, and Groeningen, Netherlands are used as case studies to compare bicycle policies and infrastructure. Bicycle-friendly cities require bicycle master plans that address accessibility, education and promotion, safe infrastructure, and parking. A successful bicycle culture improves a city’s environmental sustainability, health, equity, and access. Most importantly, a safe and convenient bicycle environment builds community interaction.
