This thesis is a photographic essay that examines the work of memory in Argentina related to the dictatorship of 1976 and its aftermath. In it, I examine various sites of memory that can be broadly defined as archival, performative and pedagogic and attempt to relate these sites to the scene of contemporary memory. An estimated 30,000 people were disappeared during “El Proceso” from 1976-1983 and these absent visages continue to haunt the nation. Officials from the outgoing regime remained protected from prosecution for 20 years after the formation of the constitutional government. Over time and without access to juridical redress, Argentine human rights groups have resorted to assorted means to recuperate the memories of the disappeared and the excesses of the regime. Groups like Las Madres de Plaza Mayor, HIJOS, and Grupo Etcetera developed performative practices – from the sanguine march to the carnavalesque protest. Neighborhood associations attempted to mark and recuperate former clandestine detention centers as public sites. Student activists mark sites with elaborate murals narrating the cityscape’s connection to its political ghosts. Municipal and provincial organizations emerged to catalogue, film, record, archive and listen. Lastly, with the election of center-left president Nestor Kirchner (2003-2007) and his commitment to this memory work, along with his support of the legal prosecution of former regime officials, there emerged more monumental projects such as the creation the Parque de la Memoria and the memory museum at the largest detention and torture center in Argentina during the dictatorship, ESMA. This study enters into these sites of memory and attempts to narrate their affect and grammar in relation to the politics of memory that Argentines continue to struggle with to this day. / text

Orientador: Prof. Dr. Pedro C. Chadarevian / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Políticas Públicas, 2017. / Este trabalho analisa o debate acerca dos movimentos sociais e sua atuação como atores de políticas públicas na Argentina, a partir de um estudo de caso do movimento social Madres de Plaza de Mayo, verificando como este alterou sua agenda e suas reivindicações ao longo dos anos tornando-se um ator de políticas públicas. Foram realizadas entrevistas com pessoas envolvidas de maneira direta e indireta com as políticas executadas pelas Madres, bem como uma revisão e análise de documentos, informes oficiais, revistas e jornais produzidos pela Fundación Madres de Plaza de Mayo, que estão disponíveis na biblioteca das Madres na sede da Associação. Também foram objeto de análise artigos, documentos, bancos de dados sobre a ditadura militar argentina, revistas e jornais, de forma a buscar uma visão completa dos acontecimentos. O estudo realizado mostra que o movimento se transformou ao longo desses anos tendo momentos de maior distanciamento do Estado, e momentos em que esteve mais próximo não no sentido de ser cooptado pelo governo, mas de atuar em parceria. Sua agenda também se modificou no decorrer desse período, mas tendo sempre como fio condutor a temática da ditadura, e de como o modelo neoliberal gera pobreza e agrava as desigualdades. / This study analysis the debate about social movements and their role as public politics actors in Argentina, and also makes a case study of the social movement Madres de Plaza de Mayo that aims to verify how it has changed its agenda and its claims during the years, becoming a public policy actor. Interviews were conducted with people that was directly or indirectly involved on politics that was developed by Madres, as well as a review and analysis from documents, official reports, magazines and journals that was produced by the Fundación Madres de Plaza de Mayo, which are available on the Madres library at the association's headquarters. It was also object of analysis articles, documents, military dictatorship databases, magazines and journals, that aims to obtain a completely view of the events. The study shows that the movement has changed over the years by having moments of greater distance from the State, and moments of closeness, not in the sense of being coopted by the government, it was a partnership. The Madres agenda has changed over the course of this period, but they always have as a guiding principle the theme of dictatorship and how the neoliberal model generates poverty and aggravates inequalities.

A presente dissertação de mestrado desenvolve um estudo comparado sobre os significados de democracia formulados pelo Movimento Feminino pela Anistia, no Brasil, e pelas Mães da Praça de Maio, na Argentina, durante a transição dos regimes autoritários, entre os anos de 1970 e 1980. Busca-se analisar de que maneira e por que razões os dois grupos passaram a tratar de democracia em seus discursos, identificando as relações entre os significados e as reivindicações levantadas por ambas as entidades durante a ditadura. O trabalho pretende também examinar o contexto em que essas ideias foram criadas, comparando com as perspectivas de democracia levantadas por outros grupos políticos e sociais, como os intelectuais. Trata-se, enfim, de investigar a articulação entre direitos humanos e democracia feita pelo Movimento Feminino pela Anistia e pelas Mães da Praça de Maio, reconstituindo o lugar desses dois grupos em um debate em que se definia a construção de democracia nesses países / This dissertation develops a comparative study on the meanings of democracy formulated by the Womens Movement for Amnesty, in Brazil, and the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, in Argentina, during the transition from authoritarian regimes, between the years 1970 and 1980. Seeks to analyze how and for what reasons the two groups began treating democracy in his speeches, identifying the relationships between the meanings and the claims raised by both parties during the dictatorship. The work also aims to examine the context in which these ideas were created, compared with the prospects of democracy raised by other political and social groups such as intellectuals. It is, finally, to investigate the relationship between human rights and democracy made by the Women\'s Movement for Amnesty and the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo rights, reconstituting the place of these two groups in a debate in which he defined the construction of democracy in these countries

Medical-grade ultrasound devices are now pocket sized and can be easily transported to underserved parts of the world, allowing health care providers to have the tools to optimize diagnoses, inform management plans, and improve patient outcomes in remote locations. Other great advances in technology have recently occurred, such as artificial intelligence applied to mobile health devices and cloud computing, as augmented reality instructions make these devices more user friendly and readily applicable across health care encounters. However, broader awareness of the impact of these mobile health technologies is needed among health care providers, along with training on how to use them in valid and reproducible environments, for accurate diagnosis and treatment. This article provides a summary of a Mayo International Health Program journey to Bwindi, Uganda, with a portable mobile health unit. This article shows how point-of-care ultrasonography and other technologies can benefit remote clinical diagnosis and management in underserved areas around the world.

En el Perú a mediados del siglo XIX, surge la figura del General Mariano Ignacio Prado (1825-1901). Inició una destacada carrera militar en 1853 bajo las órdenes del Mariscal Castilla. En 1865, lideró la popular revolución “restauradora de la honra nacional” con fundamentos americanistas y nacionalistas, contra el gobierno del general Juan Antonio Pezet por la firma del Tratado Vivanco-Pareja con España considerado deshonroso y perjudicial a la nación. Se estableció una dictadura, y organizó al país para desafiar a la poderosa escuadra española en el combate del 2 de Mayo en el Callao. Esta victoria consolidó nuestra independencia y convirtió a Prado como héroe nacional. En 1879, al iniciarse la guerra del Pacifico, Prado se trasladó al sur, instalándose en Arica, como Director Supremo de la Guerra, cerca de la zona del conflicto. Desde hace 140 años uno de los acontecimientos históricos relativos a la Guerra del Pacífico que aún suscita polémica es el viaje que tuvo que efectuar a Europa, el 18 de diciembre de 1879, el presidente Mariano Ignacio Prado. Llega a Estados Unidos pero por el golpe de estado de Piérola no pudo lograr exitosamente lo propuesto. La derrota naval sufrida con la pérdida del Huáscar sumada al desastre ocurrido con el ejército del sur y la deserción boliviana convencieron a Prado que la única posibilidad de revertir la situación bélica era concretar y agilizar al más alto nivel las gestiones de renegociación de la deuda externa en Europa y la compra de nuevos barcos y armamento. Prado como jefe de Estado, y por sus anteriores intervenciones financieras, creía podía ser el único en agilizar esta la negociación. Su alejamiento del Perú fue aprovechado por Nicolás de Piérola para realizar un golpe de estado (el tercero en pocos años) y proclamarse dictador. Prado quiso entonces volver al Perú para defender su actuación, pero Piérola se lo impidió. 11 Prado ha sido acusado por sus enemigos políticos de fugarse del país, de traidor y hasta de llevarse la colecta patriótica para nunca regresar al país. Manifestaciones henchidas más de pasión que de rigor histórico son frecuentes entre los diarios, videos de internet y hasta educadores quienes, sin un análisis histórico, dan por hecha la leyenda negra creada en su contra. Esta tesis tiene como finalidad estudiar los más importantes episodios de la vida militar y política del General Mariano Ignacio Prado. Demostrar su valoración y peso como protagonista esencial en la revolución de 1865 que culminó con el victorioso combate del 2 de mayo de 1866. Su acertada dirección desde Arica de la campaña del sur en la guerra del Pacífico, así como esclarecer las acusaciones que se han construido contra este personaje y rescatar su verdadera imagen. No se va a tratar el tema de su estancia en Chile por ser parte de su vida privada que esta fuera del alcance de esta tesis. / Tesis

Entre 1976 et 1983, la dictature militaire argentine orchestre la disparition d’environ trente mille personnes. Son but n’est pas seulement la mort, mais l’empêchement de toute forme de différence et de toute forme de résistance chez les vivants. Dans un parcours menant d’une esquisse de la terreur à une anthropologie des possibles résistances, cette thèse confronte la recherche à l’effacement, à la déliaison puis à la possible reconstruction. Elle apparaît comme une démarche exploratoire et impliquée, aux côtés de (sur)vivants qui sont parvenus à recréer des liens de sens et des liens sociaux et donc, à refaire émerger du politique. Leurs témoignages, déclinés autour de ceux des « Mères de la Place de Mai », ont permis une résistance par les mots, par les corps et par les images à l’indicible, l’invisible et l’irreprésentable. Au fil de l’émergence d’un réseau de lutte contre l’effacement des traces et des preuves de la disparition, avec en ligne de mire les objectifs utopiques de « mémoire, vérité et justice », les résistants développent une forme de paradigme indiciaire qui n’a de cesse de rappeler à l’anthropologie l’importance des détails et des petits liens. En comprenant le social comme un théâtre, nous parvenons à appréhender diverses modalités de mise en scène de la disparition qui, toutes, révèlent l’importance cruciale de l’articulation entre l’intime et le collectif dans la reconstruction du social.Parce que les gouvernements démocratiques ont perpétué les représentations sociales qui ont rendu possible cette extermination politique, la résistance est toujours soumise à de nouvelles défiances révisionnistes. Elle est toujours renouvelée. Les questions qu’elle soulève restent, quant à elles, toujours aussi brûlantes. / From 1976 to 1983 the military dictatorship in Argentina engineered the “disappearance” of an estimated thirty thousand people. Its aim was not merely to put people to death but to eradicate all forms of diversity and every trace of resistance in the living.By sketching the reign of terror and by proposing an anthropological analysis of the different possible forms of resistance, this thesis confronts the research to effacement, dismemberment and then to the possibilities of reconstruction. It is an explorative and involved research by the side of survivors who succeeded in reconstruct sense and social relationships and have thus contributed to a political renaissance. Their testimonies - with those of the “Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo” as a heart - are resisting to what is unspeakable, impossible to see and to portray: they are based on words, on bodies and on images. A network, whose utopian motto was “memory, truth and justice”, gradually emerged to fight against the concealment of every trace of evidence of the “disappeared”. Its members developed a form of indicative paradigm which serves as a constant reminder to the anthropologist of the importance of details and minor connections.If we see society as theatre we may understand the different ways the forced disappearance was staged, which illustrate the crucial importance of the links between the intimate and the collective in social reconstruction.The resistance network is still constantly subject to revisionist suspicion, because democratic governments have maintained the social representations which made this political extermination possible. Resistance has to bee constantly re-invented. The questions this movement raises are, for their part, still a burning issue.
