El Plan de San Diego is the name of an important document in Texas history, but the document and surrounding history is usually discussed with little or no reference to the town of San Diego, Texas, the people who lived there, or the cultural landscape. The Plan de San Diego is an unsuccessful rebellion that is one of the few documented irredentist revolts in U.S. History, it is also a written document calling for return of lands in a multi-ethnic call to arms advocating the recovery of territory by people of Mexican descent in 1915, named for the town San Diego, TX. After the discovery of this Plan, Mexican-Americans were persecuted, violently suppressed, and murdered: 300-5,000 people of Mexican descent died violently following the discovery and publication of the Plan de San Diego in what historians have called the “Bandit Wars”. San Diego, Texas residents and the entire U.S.-Mexican borderlands changed after the discovery of the Plan. My research investigates the political landscape and changes in material and cultural assemblages during and after the Plan, examining how descendant communities retained ties to place and remembered this event in the community of San Diego. Archival research, Historical archaeology and media representations of San Diego explore expose the everyday lives, settlement patterns, and subsistence strategies of the residents of San Diego before and after 1915, showing the material and social effects of the failed rebellion. The socio-political landscape that helped create Mexican-American culture in San Diego is a silenced, violent, and misunderstood chapter of Texas history that shapes the current borderlands and contributes important insights into the study of sites of rebellion and retaliation worldwide.

Analysis of the festivities of the Immaculate Conception celebrated in Lima in 1656, from the account written by Diego de León Pinelo Gutiérrez. This Creole text reinterprets in baroque terms the cult of the Immaculate Conception in the City of Kings. Through it we can study these lengthy festivals, which involved the participation of the city’s most important institutions and corporate bodies, mobilizing considerable resources and people. Thus, the text is conceived as a political and religious exaltation of the city of Lima, typical of the festive genre and of the chorographic literature, which also connects with the emerging Creole discourse. / Este artículo analiza las fiestas a la Inmaculada que se celebraron en Lima en 1656 a partir de la relación festiva escrita por Diego de León Pinelo Gutiérrez. Este texto criollo reinterpreta en clave barroca la devoción inmaculista de la ciudad de Los Reyes. A través de él se estudian los prolongados festejos que contaron con la participación de las instituciones y corporaciones de poder más representativas de la ciudad y movilizaron considerables recursos y personas. Así, esta relación se concibe como una exaltación política y religiosa de la ciudad de Lima, propia del género festivo y de la literatura corográfica, que se conecta también con el naciente discurso criollo.

O trabalho versa sobre a obra, as fontes de informação, as leituras e andaimes de construção que presidiram sua composição. Em especial, procurou-se analisar como Durán teceu sua narrativa ao se utilizar de diferentes registros e tradições históricas e o peso que esses elementos tiveram no resultado final da obra. Ao contextualizar as camadas de leitura e feitura do documento, percebeu-se que apesar do olhar do dominicano sobre a história indígena ter sido guiado por uma perspectiva bíblica, as tradições europeias e americanas foram ressignificadas ao entrarem em contato na Historia de las Indias / Abstract: This dissertation examines how the Historia de las Indias de Nueva España was produced by Dominican friar Diego Durán in the late sixteenth century. The text discusses the work, the sources of information and the readings which governed its composition. In particular, we sought to analyze how Durán wove his narrative while using different records and historical traditions and the weight these have had on the final outcome of the work. By contextualizing the layers of reading and making of the document, the analysis noticed that despite the biblical perspective guided the Dominican on indigenous history, European and American traditions were resignified when put together in the Historia de las Indias / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestre em História

Dans le domaine des études frontalières, des ouvrages théoriques aussi bien qu’historiques ont contribué à élargir le corpus des analyses visant à définir qualitativement et quantitativement les mécaniques de la construction et les interactions de groupes le long de la frontière entre les Etats-Unis et le Mexique. La majorité de ces ouvrages représente soit, historiquement, une apologie de la conquête anglo-américaine de la région frontalière et par là une minimisation de la pluralité de la culture frontalière, ou plus récemment, une déconstruction théorique de la dynamique de la frontière coloniale favorisant les contributions et la condition des minorités, notamment dans le domaine des études hispaniques et Chicano. Dans les deux cas, l’importance des nuances et des spécificités régionales des interactions est minimisée dans l’optique de soutenir des positionnements théoriques ou historiques. Sans chercher à dévaluer ni à négliger ce riche héritage analytique, notre thèse tente de développer le corpus existant d’ouvrages d’études frontalières en se concentrant sur la région de San Diego, Californie, pendant sa période formative allant de la fin du XVIIIe siècle au début du XXe siècle, en se basant sur des développements récents dans de multiples disciplines ainsi qu’en revisitant les sources canoniques. Notre objectif est de répondre à des questions telles que : à la lumière des recherches actuelles, et vue à travers le prisme des représentations des constructions identitaires personnelles et communautaires, la culture régionale historique de San Diego peut-elle être considérée comme étant unique et essentiellement hybride par nature ? Si oui, comment la révision de cette culture historique affecte-t-elle la construction et l’interprétation des théories frontalières contemporaines telles qu’elles s’appliquent à ce site ? Quels sont les implications et les enjeux pour une région qui se développe rapidement - culturellement, économiquement et politiquement ? Afin de répondre à ces questions, une contextualisation historique a été établie se focalisant sur les thèmes d’hybridité et de mixité. Suivent alors une description et une analyse détaillées de la population régionale et des espaces physiques de vie et de travail créés par cette population, en terme de tendance générale mais aussi par l’étude de cas spécifiques de sites architecturels emblématiques et de figures historiques clés pendant chacune des périodes de gouvernance spécifiques : espagnole, mexicaine et états-unienne. Les résultats de ces études sont examinés à travers les points de vue historiques canoniques, et les paradigmes des théories contemporaines d’études frontalières, les confrontant à une discussion plus large et les plaçant dans le contexte des changements démographiques, socio-économiques et politiques actuels. Les résultats de notre étude privilégient une complexification de l’analyse des constructions des interactions et identités le long de la frontière entre les Etats-Unis et le Mexique, avec une reconnaissance croissante des constructions hybrides dans les sphères locales. / In the field of borderland studies, both theoretical and historical works have contributed to a growing body of analysis that seeks both qualitatively and quantitatively to define the mechanics of group construction and interaction along the U.S./Mexican border. The majority of these works have focused on either, historically, an apology for the Anglo-American conquest of the border region and thus a minimization of the pluralistic composition of border culture or, more recently, a theoretical deconstruction of the colonial border dynamic which favors the minority contributions and condition, notably in Hispanic and Chicano studies.In both cases, the nuances and regional specificities of interaction are downplayed in favor of encompassing theoretical or historical positionings. While not seeking to devalue or to disregard this rich analytical heritage, our thesis strives to expand upon the existing body of borderland study work by focusing on the region of San Diego, California during the formative period between the late 18th and early 19th centuries using recent developments in multiple disciplines as well as revisiting the canonic sources.Our objective is to answer questions such as the following: In the light of current research, and viewed through the prism of representations of personal and community identity constructs, can the historic regional culture of San Diego be viewed as unique and essentially hybrid in nature? If so, how does the revision of this historic culture affect the construction and interpretation of contemporary borderland theories as it applies to this site? What are the implications and stakes for a rapidly developing region – culturally, economically, and politically?In order to answer these questions, a historical contextualization has been established that focuses on the themes of hybridity and mixity. A detailed description and analysis are then made of the regional population and the physical living and working spaces created by it, both in terms of general trends and specific case studies of emblematic architectural site and key historic figures during each of the successive periods of regional governance: Spanish, Mexican and United States. The results of these studies are examined through the optic of canonic historical viewpoints and contemporary theoretical paradigms of borderland study, subjecting them to a broader discussion and placing them within the context of current demographic, socio-economic, and political change. The results of our study favors a complexification of the analysis of interactions and identity constructs along the U.S.-Mexican border, with increasing recognition of hybrid constructs in local spheres.

Both instantaneous current and chemical propagation predictions are of utmost importance for all littoral naval operations, including diving, amphibious and mine warfare ones. Undoubtedly, the operating limits and environmental thresholds are crucial and highly reliant on the accuracy and precision of the predictions. San Diego Bay is important because it hosts a large part of the U.S. fleet and has special ecological significance. A hydrodynamic model, "Water Quality Management and Analysis Package" (WQMAP), is used to predict the instantaneous currents with various forcing functions (tides, winds, and lateral boundary fluxes) and a hydrochemical model, "Chemical Management and Analysis Package", (CHEMMAP) to predict the water contamination and to simulate chemical attacks/accidents in San Diego Bay, which raise considerations regarding public health, economy, ecology or even national security. The study shows the barotropic nature of San Diego Bay, the slight significance of wind and the vulnerability of a semi-enclosed tidal basin in a possible chemical attack or accident. Simultaneously, it evaluates and uses two models used by NAVOCEANO. / Hellenic Navy author.

XVI-XVIII desenvolvido na América Colonial, especialmente no Peru, tendo por base o primeiro volume do Thesaurus Indicus de Diego de Avendaño, s.i. Divide-se em três partes: Antecedentes; Tensão moral nas colônias; e O Thesaurus Indicus. Além de ver a relevância histórica e influência deste sistema moral nas colônias espanholas, adentra-se na problemática dos sistemas morais, com especial ênfase no Probabilismo e se expõe, a modo ilustrativo, não sem antes conhecer um pouco Diego de Avendaño, a administração da justiça nas Índias, relatada no Volume I do Thesaurus. Conclui-se que a obra estudada está completamente permeada pelo Probabilismo. / This is a historical-epistemological study on the XVII-XVIII century's probabilism developed in Colonial America, especially in Peru, based on Diego de Avendaño's first volume of his Thesaurus Indicus. It is divided into three sections: Background; moral tension in the colonies, and the Thesaurus Indicus . Besides seeing the historical significance and influence of this moral system in the Spanish colonies, enters into the problem of moral systems, with particular emphasis on probabilism and exposes as an illustration, not without knowing a little of Diego de Avendaño, the management of justice in the Indias, reported in Volume I of the Thesaurus . We conclude that the work in study is totally permeated by the probabilism.

Notions of connectivity and relationality increasingly pervade theories, discourses and practices of environmental governance. Recently, the concept of the 'resource nexus' has emerged as an important new framework that emphasises the interconnections, tensions and synergies between sectors that have traditionally been managed separately. Part of a broader trend towards integrated environmental governance, nexus thinking rests on the premise that the challenges facing water, energy, food and other resources are inexorably connected and contingent. Although presenting itself as a radically new framework, the nexus discourse in current form is techno-managerial in character, profoundly de-politicising, and reinforces neoliberal approaches to environmental governance. At the same time, the 'material turn' in social science research has re-engaged ideas of social, political and material relationality to understand the complexity and heterogeneity of the socio-natural condition in the twenty-first century. Although theoretically and ontologically diverse, the fields of political ecology, assemblage thinking and infrastructure studies all critically interrogate the politics of relationality. Mobilising an urban political ecology framework, and drawing on notions of emergence and distributed agency from assemblage thinking, this research examines the politics of the water-energy nexus through a critical analysis of the extraordinary emergence of seawater desalination as a significant new urban water supply for Southern California, USA, and Baja California, Mexico. Research was conducted in the San Diego-Tijuana metropolitan region, where a large desalting facility has recently been completed to supply San Diego with purified ocean water, and a larger 'binational' facility is planned in Mexico to supply both sides of the border. The research makes three broad contributions. First, to understand desalination as emerging from the historical coproduction and urbanisation of water and energy in the American West. Second, to examine the transitioning environmental politics concomitant with calls for greater understanding of interrelationality. And third, to interrogate the efficacy of technology in reconfiguring the co-constitution of water, energy and society.

Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Lengua y Literatura Hisp?nica / Abordar desde los l?mites te?rico-cr?ticos la obra ?Los Sea Harrier? no fue algo simple. Me llev? por una deriva abundante de textos, un trabajo arduo de escritura, que si bien no terminar? jam?s, los l?mites de este trabajo me obligan a detenerme. Como un barco ebrio en el mar que se atrapa en las rocas de una isla desierta. La lectura puede ser eterna, ?d?nde detenerme? En el azar, en el error, cuando el lector se equivoca y zozobra, entonces hay que detenerse y revisar los caminos trazados. La revisi?n es la escritura, como un mapa, de los caminos hechos sin destino claro, porque nunca lo tuve. No pose?a una br?jula de direcci?n: ?Coritani nos tra?a por mar perdidos/ alg?n tiempo/ para despu?s dormirse/ y dejarnos otra vez perdidos? (Maquieira, 111). Y al igual que los tripulantes de los Harrier, perdido leyendo entre los mares y el aire, siguiendo una oscura intuici?n cuando las estrellas se borran del horizonte. La escritura misma del trabajo, como mencion?, fue trazar en un mapa el viaje de la lectura. Reescribir las infinitas posibilidades del naufragio, extravi?ndome en cada una de ellas. El mapa o la tesis fue el resultado de una actividad de depuraci?n, nada m?s, colar el viaje. Si tiene alg?n sentido esta tesis, es orientar futuros trabajos, lecturas, viajes.

Este negocio con siete años de existencia en el área de la comida rápida aparece ante la iniciativa de generar un nuevo participante en un rubro altamente competitivo, de alto nivel de transacciones y de alto consumo. La experiencia de sus fundadores en negocios similares dentro del mismo rubro les permitió desarrollar la marca y a lo largo de este trabajo, se expondrán su conformación, características y metas, a las que aspiran llegar como grupo gastronómico. El sistema propuesto permitirá realizar una reorganización de las actividades al interior de la marca, estandarizar procesos, generar herramientas de control y principalmente dar una dirección estratégica al quehacer diario de la compañía. La implementación de este sistema puede generar importantes mejoras operacionales como mejoras en los tiempos de procesos, reducción de costos y mejorar la calidad de producción en el negocio. El sistema desarrollará la estrategia desde la más alta dirección, generarando su planificación garantizando que responda a los temas estratégicos claves, metas a seguir, los indicadores por los cuales se deben evaluar y su financiamiento. La estrategia entregará misión, valores, misión y formulación de la propuesta de valor al cliente. Estas se formularán a través de distintas herramientas de análisis interno y externo que finalmente permitan establecer el mapa estratégico de la organización. El mapa una vez establecido servirá de base para establecer los indicadores, las metas y con eso llegar a los tableros de control para las distintas áreas, detección de iniciativas y vincular todo esto con la estructura organizacional de la unidad. Todo sistema de control de gestión para funcionar con éxito necesita la alineación completa de la organización, detectando los grupos claves donde se entrega la propuesta de valor y por lo mismo se cierra el sistema con la generación de un esquema de incentivos acorde a las necesidades de integrar los distintos grupos de trabajo. La importancia principal de esta investigación es entregar a esta unidad estratégica de negocios un sistema claro que defina correctamente su estrategia para la asignación de recursos correcta y acorde a sus objetivos, reconociendo el impacto de la actividad de las distintas áreas y generar procesos de mejora continua a todo nivel organizacional. Finalmente, el funcionamiento sinérgico actual de esta unidad, en conjunto con los buenos resultados en utilidades, se deben a la gran experiencia en los líderes de dicha marca y a un crecimiento exponencial previsto para los próximos años, debido a esto, es que se hace necesario la creación de un sistema que se ajuste a estas necesidades y asegure la continuidad y buen funcionamiento de la unidad estratégica de negocios.
