Item type:Publication, Adobe constructions in the world: a first overview(Springer Nature, 2021-01-01)Adobe constructions date back thousands of years and are a significant fraction of the world’s built heritage, including UNESCO sites. Even though adobe dwellings are still built in some regions, a number of experimental and theoretical studies have delineated the vulnerability levels of these constructions. A significant concentration of adobe constructions in regions with moderate-to-high levels of seismic hazard has been observed as well, resulting in huge human losses during earthquakes. Therefore, the knowledge of the structural performance and seismic reinforcement of adobe constructions provides the basis for their structural vulnerability reduction, allowing disaster risk mitigation and community preparedness. This is also a strategic task to meet sustainability and community resilience goals in multiple countries, where guidelines for both existing and new adobe constructions must be implemented. This chapter provides readers with preliminary information on history, worldwide distribution, construction features and observed performance of adobe constructions for different demand scenarios. These topics are recalled and discussed in more detail in subsequent chapters. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Nineteenth-century women writers and the nation(Oxford University Press, 2022-08-18)This chapter provides an account of the robust emergence of women writers in nineteenth-century Latin America and of the narratives they produced, focusing on the complex relationship between national and gender ideology, the literary field and the consolidation of the new republics, especially in the second half of the century. Rather than focusing on aestheticist frameworks for the myriad novels, novellas, and short stories; poems, essays, and plays; and diaries, letters, and press articles produced by them, it examines their interaction with the dominant male discourse and the strategies that women of letters developed in order to move beyond the age-old patriarchal mandate of “not saying what they knew, or saying that they didn’t know, or saying the opposite of what they knew” (Ludmer 48).1 If intellectuals of the so-called national period had an impossibly idealized concept of the literary woman, later critics’ and writers’ respect for them, from modernistas and throughout the twentieth century, was negligible. This rich and diverse corpus of writing published in the periodical press and in book form, from Chile to Mexico, had all but disappeared from literary memory and from the canon until it was rediscovered more than a century later by feminist activists in Latin American, (USA) North American, and European academia from the late 1990s and beyond. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Extending conquest history: Lesser-known events and the fringes of European conquest(Cambridge University Press, 2024-01-16)Certain characters and their roles in the European conquest of America are well known: Christopher Columbus, Hernando Cortés, Francisco Pizarro, Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada, and a few others. Likewise, scholarly interest in the conquest has focused on the centers of great political, economic, and cultural entities such as the Aztec Empire in Mesoamerica and the Inca Empire in the Central Andes. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Panic, Denial, and the Search for “Magic Remedies:” The Various Social Responses to COVID-19 in Peru(Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz, 2023-01-01)Between March 2020 and March 2022, more than 213,000 Peruvians died of covid-19. In this research note, we will identify and analyze the various social responses to covid-19 in Peru: denial, panic, search for culprits, search for “magic remedies,” and, in some sectors, mistrust towards the State and science. We argue that these social responses have been common throughout history, both in pandemics prior to the development of the bacteriological era and in the most recent ones. We intend to show that, in Peru, scientific ideas around health and disease coexist with religious ideas, conspiracy theories and traditional knowledge. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, From the New to the Other in Heidegger’s Thought: Convergence of Beginning and Ending and the Matter of Contradiction(Sociedad Iberoamericana de Estudios Heideggerianos, 2023-03-20)This article starts from the need to reflect on the experience of the new in human history and finds in Heidegger’s thinking about the beginning and about the other beginning, particularly, a reflexive path that allows us to clear this experience. From the analysis of the intimate relationship between the other beginning and the first beginning, a kind of “identity” between the ending and the beginning will be shown, which will confront us with the concept of contradiction, from the history thought by Heidegger. According to criticism and completion of metaphysics, the place of contradiction in the history of being will be considered and the tension between logical thinking and the presentation of being will be underlined. This will lead us, finally, to highlight history as a permanent beginning, rather than as a process traversed by innovation and progress. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Places, History and Memories: The Role of Rooting in the Processes of Ethnic Self-Identification in Peru(SAGE Publishing, 2025-10-01)The main question of this study asks about to what extent people's identification with an ethno-racial category—in the case of Peru, Quechua, Aymara, Amazonian ethnic group, or Afro-descendant—is conditioned by “living” memory practises that are present in their daily routines and lives and are associated with historical characteristics linked to their places of birth, a process we have called rooting. To discuss it, we have used information from official Peruvian national surveys database and historical administrative data. We find an association between ethnic self-identification and characteristics of people's districts of birth, such as presence of archaeological monuments, or existence of resettlements existed, or long-time presence of Afro-descendant populations. These results should open new research topics related to how the collective experiences of places of birth are reproduced over time to continue shaping the cultural practices of citizens.1
