Desarrollo inicial, crecimiento y crisis del Banco Industrial del Perú, 1936-1991

Lobo Collantes, Juan Franco 02 August 2018 (has links)
La gran depresión de la década de 1930 tuvo diversos efectos en América Latina, siendo uno de los principales la idea de mayor participación del Estado en las economías nacionales ante la deslegitimación del modelo primario-exportador vigente. En ese contexto, diversos instrumentos fueron puestos en marcha para lograr una mayor autonomía económica y el ansiado desarrollo industrial, dentro de los cuales estarían los bancos de fomento. Con la intención de transferir de manera dirigida los recursos públicos a sectores que se consideraban estratégicos, los gobiernos latinoamericanos impulsaron esta banca de desarrollo para proveer de capitales a sectores relacionados con el mercado interno, el sector industrial y a la transferencia tecnológica. Para el caso peruano, uno de los bancos de fomento fue el Banco Industrial del Perú (junto con el agrario y el minero), aunque en un inicio no tuvo un impulso tan profundo como en otros países de la región, ya que el compromiso con el desarrollo hacia adentro y la promoción de la industrialización no era parte de la estrategia de desarrollo peruana. Sin embargo, a medida que pasaron las décadas, las necesidades de promover una diversificación colocaron al paradigma industrial cada vez más cerca de las políticas económicas. En ese sentido, se identifican cuatro etapas básicas del desarrollo de la institución. La primera, entre 1936 y 1956, se observa el nacimiento y el desarrollo inicial como reacción a los choques externos de la crisis de los años treinta y la Segunda Guerra Mundial, pero sin llegar a insertarse como parte de la estrategia de desarrollo. Esto último queda en evidencia al observar el manejo de la institución durante el gobierno de Manuel Odría (1948-1956). La segunda etapa, entre 1956 y 1968, se caracteriza por los incentivos que genera las fuertes migraciones a las zonas urbanas, los efectos de las nuevas caídas de nuestras exportaciones de materias primas y nuevos gobiernos más comprometidos con el desarrollo industrial y el mercado interno, como el segundo periodo de Manuel Prado y el primero de Fernando Belaúnde. La tercera etapa, entre 1969 y 1979, tiene un crecimiento en el contexto del gobierno revolucionario, donde el paradigma del desarrollo se caracterizó por una intervención más profunda del Estado en la economía. Finalmente, el cuarto periodo, de 1980 a 1990, en un contexto de recesión económica producto de la 4 crisis de la deuda y la hiperinflación, la institución no va a soportar los niveles de morosidad de las industrias y entrará en proceso de liquidación. La historiografía peruana no ha visto más que de una manera tangencial el desempeño del Banco Industrial del Perú, por lo que la presente investigación pretende reconstruir su desarrollo a largo plazo para identificar los aportes y las limitaciones que tuvieron para fomentar la industria en el Perú, en el periodo del paradigma industrialista latinoamericano del siglo XX. / Tesis

"You've Got to Be Carefully Taught": Reflections on War, Imperialism and Patriotism in America's South Pacific

Butler, Jayna D. 09 November 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Underneath the romance, comedy and exoticism, South Pacific is a story that questioned core American values, exploring issues of race and power at a time when these topics were intensely relevant-the original opened just four years post WWII, on the heels of Roosevelt's aggressive expansionist response to domestic instabilities. Much has been written about the depiction of war and racial prejudice in South Pacific. However, examining such topics in the context of their cultural and political moment (both in 1949 and 2008) and through the lens of Terry Eagleton's unique take on morality, is not only a fascinating study, but an intensely relevant and unchartered endeavor. This work concerns the evolution of an American code of ethics as it has been reflected and constructed in both Broadway productions of Roger and Hammerstein's South Pacific (c.1949, 2008). Specifically, it examines the depiction of WWII, America's imperialistic foreign policy, and the function of American patriotism in light of Terry Eagleton's theories surrounding an evolving code of ethics in 20th/21st century America. By so doing, this thesis uncovers answers to the following questions: What were the cultural and political forces at work at the time South Pacific was created (both in 1949 and 2008), and how did these forces influence the contrasting depictions of war, imperialism and patriotism in each version of the musical? In what ways were these productions reflective of a code of ethics that evolved from what Eagleton would classify as moral realism (prescriptive of behavior) to moral nihilism (reflective of behavior)? How did the use of this increasingly reflexive moral code make this politically controversial musical more palatable, and therefore commercially viable during the contrasting political climates of WWII and the recent war on Iraq? Determining answers to questions such as these enables us as a society to look back on our history-on our mistakes and triumphs-and recognize our tendency to find pragmatic justification for our actions rather than acknowledging the possibility of the existence of objective truth, which remains unchanged through time and circumstance.

The dangerous edge of things : John Webster's Bosola in context & performance

Buckingham, John F. January 2011 (has links)
This thesis argues that there is an enigma at the heart of Webster's The Duchess of Malfi; a disjunction between the critical history of the play and its reception in performance. Historical disquiet about the status of the play among academics and cultural commentators has not prevented its popularity with audiences. It has, however, affected some of the staging decisions made by theatre companies mounting productions. Allied to other practical factors, these have impacted significantly – and occasionally disastrously – upon performances. It is argued that Webster conceived the play as a meditation on degree and, in aiming to draw out the maximum relevance from the social satire, deliberately created the multi-faceted performative role of Bosola to work his audience in a complex and subversive manner. The role's purpose was determined in response to the structural discontinuity imposed upon the play by the physical realities of staging within the Blackfriars' auditorium. But Webster also needed an agent to serve the plot's development and, in creating the role he also invented a character, developed way beyond the material of his sources. This character proved as trapped as any other in the play by the consequences of his own moral choices. Hovering between role and character, Webster's creation remains liminally poised on ‘the dangerous edge of things.' Part One explores the contexts in which Webster created one of the most ambiguous figures in early modern drama - subverting stock malcontent, villain and revenger - and speculates on the importance of the actor, John Lowin in its genesis. It includes a subsequent performance history of the role. Part Two presents the detailed analysis of a range of professional performances from the past four decades, attempting to demonstrate how the meaning of the play has been altered by decisions made regarding the part of Bosola.

Katedrála / Cathedral

Kliment, Jakub January 2016 (has links)
The statue called The Cathedral is a natural extension of my work, which deals with organic morphology of the landscape, both the details and grand compositions, which in the countryside vyskytují.Stejně like most authors is my creative work reflection of my surroundings, both personal so near in geographical terms. Integrating these aspects arise impetus to creation. In the case of sculptures entitled The Cathedral is a rendering of the very strong impression of verticality, which dominates the landscape. Regularly clashing with seemingly ordinary natural objects such as trees, soil, hills or reliefs and reliefs such as landscapes, I got into an imaginary dialogue, which I decided to answer this statue and also portray already mentioned impressed. This feeling is for me identically comparable to a situation where the viewer stands in front of the high Gothic building and trying to accommodate the shape of a giant who stands before him. Its peak, it seems so distant, as if no end, and the broad base is a kind of sign of confidence in the form of stability. Parallels between these seemingly different topics I could not miss, so I decided to call the statue Cathedral. In this work, as in previous ones, I try to get into organic sculptures character with the help of the deformation of materials, or basically draping. Compacting elastic materials to try to create the statues of the tension that fascinates me in nature and creates the impression of growth, which is in the countryside of one of the strongest motives. Shape diversity, which is in the landscape, in my inexhaustible source of inspiration and has become lately a space that fills me. When I release the perception of various aspects of your imagination and build imaginary composition, which would then be identical expression perceived impressions.

Marijuana Australiana: Cannabis use, popular culture and the Americanisation of drugs policy in Australia, 1938-1988

Jiggens, John Lawrence January 2004 (has links)
The word 'marijuana' was introduced to Australia by the US Bureau of Narcotics via the Diggers newspaper, Smith's Weekly, in 1938. Marijuana was said to be 'a new drug that maddens victims' and it was sensationally described as an 'evil sex drug'. The resulting tabloid furore saw the plant cannabis sativa banned in Australia, even though cannabis had been a well-known and widely used drug in Australia for many decades. In 1964, a massive infestation of wild cannabis was found growing along a stretch of the Hunter River between Singleton and Maitland in New South Wales. The explosion in Australian marijuana use began there. It was fuelled after 1967 by US soldiers on rest and recreation leave from Vietnam. It was the Baby-Boomer young who were turning on. Pot smoking was overwhelmingly associated with the generation born in the decade after the Second World War. As the conflict over the Vietnam War raged in Australia, it provoked intense generational conflict between the Baby-Boomers and older generations. Just as in the US, pot was adopted by Australian Baby-Boomers as their symbol; and, as in the US, the attack on pot users served as code for an attack on the young, the Left, and the alternative. In 1976, the 'War on Drugs' began in earnest in Australia with paramilitary attacks on the hippie colonies at Cedar Bay in Queensland and Tuntable Falls in New South Wales. It was a time of increasing US style prohibition characterised by 'tough-on-drugs' right-wing rhetoric, police crackdowns, numerous murders, and a marijuana drought followed quickly by a heroin plague; in short by a massive worsening of 'the drug problem'. During this decade, organised crime moved into the pot scene and the price of pot skyrocketed, reaching $450 an ounce in 1988. Thanks to the Americanisation of drugs policy, the black market made 'a killing'. In Marijuana Australiana I argue that the 'War on Drugs' developed -- not for health reasons -- but for reasons of social control; as a domestic counter-revolution against the Whitlamite, Baby-Boomer generation by older Nixonite Drug War warriors like Queensland Premier, Bjelke-Petersen. It was a misuse of drugs policy which greatly worsened drug problems, bringing with it American-style organised crime. As the subtitle suggests, Marijuana Australiana relies significantly on 'alternative' sources, and I trawl the waters of popular culture, looking for songs, posters, comics and underground magazines to produce an 'underground' history of cannabis in Australia. This 'pop' approach is balanced with a hard-edged, quantitative analysis of the size of the marijuana market, the movement of price, and the seizure figures in the section called 'History By Numbers'. As Alfred McCoy notes, we need to understand drugs as commodities. It is only through a detailed understanding of the drug trade that the deeper secrets of this underground world can be revealed. In this section, I present an economic history of the cannabis market and formulate three laws of the market.
