Download or read book Making Citizens in Argentina written by Benjamin Bryce and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making Citizens in Argentina charts the evolving meanings of citizenship in Argentina from the 1880s to the 1980s. Against the backdrop of immigration, science, race, sport, populist rule, and dictatorship, the contributors analyze the power of the Argentine state and other social actors to set the boundaries of citizenship. They also address how Argentines contested the meanings of citizenship over time, and demonstrate how citizenship came to represent a great deal more than nationality or voting rights. In Argentina, it defined a person's relationships with, and expectations of, the state. Citizenship conditioned the rights and duties of Argentines and foreign nationals living in the country. Through the language of citizenship, Argentines explained to one another who belonged and who did not. In the cultural, moral, and social requirements of citizenship, groups with power often marginalized populations whose societal status was more tenuous. Making Citizens in Argentina also demonstrates how workers, politicians, elites, indigenous peoples, and others staked their own claims to citizenship.

Download or read book Sport in Cuba written by Paula J. Pettavino and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 1994-09-15 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No aspect of Cuban life more clearly epitomizes their government's emphasis on image-building and individual participation than the system of physical culture and competitive athletics. Indeed the Cuban record in international athletics is the most universally recognized success of the communist revolution, as indicated by the Cuban arrival in the 1972 Olympics and the 1991 Pan-American Games, when Cuba beat the United States in the gold medal tally, dominating boxing, baseball, and winning the marathon. The fruits of the Cuban sports system were again in evidence at the Barcelona Olympics of 1992, despite the severe deprivation caused by the collapse of the island's socialist allies.In spite of the obvious success and political importance of sport in Cuba, very little has been written on the subject. Sport in Cuba closes this gap. In the first major study on the Cuban system of sports and physical culture, Paula J. Pettvino and Geralyn Pye analyze how sports was given such a high priority in Cuba, how the country became a world power by the mid-1970s, and the impact of sports on Cuban society. Moving from the early days when the government's approach to sports was loosely defined, through the construction of a complex system of physical culture, to the current years of uncertainty, Sport in Cuba utilizes both archival sources and personal interviews. It will be of interest to Latin Americanists and students of sports.

Heidi Murkoff ha respondido decenas de nuevas preguntas e incluido nuevos materiales requeridos por los lectores, como, por ejemplo, una sección detallada en todos los capítulos sobre cada mes del embarazo sobre el desarrollo fetal en cada una de las semanas de este, un capítulo expandido sobre la pre-concepción y uno completamente nuevo sobre embarazos múltiples. Siendo más completa, reconfortante y empática que todas las anteriores, esta edición incorpora nuevos descubrimientos en obstetricia y toca diferentes tendencias actuales (desde el tatuaje y otras modificaciones corporales hasta el Botox y la aromaterapia). Hay mucho más que antes sobre temas prácticos (incluyendo una sección aumentada sobre cuestiones relacionadas con el sitio laboral), físicos (con más síntomas y soluciones para estos), emocionales (más consejos sobre cómo navegar la montaña rusa emocional), nutricionales (desde la dieta baja en carbohidratos hasta la vegana y desde la comida chatarra hasta la adicción a la cafeína) y sexuales (lo que es excitante y lo que no lo es al hacer el amor durante el embarazo), así como mucho más apoyo para ese muy importante socio en la maternidad: el papá. Con derroche de consejos útiles y humor (el mejor amigo de una mujer embarazada), esta nueva edición es más asequible y fácil de usar que en el pasado. Es todo lo que los padres esperan de Que puedes esperar . . . durante el embarazo, pero mucho mejor. This Spanish-language translation of What to Expect When You're Expecting: 4th Edition, America's pregnancy bible with over 19 million copies in print, is livelier, less formal, and altogether more user-friendly than ever before. It’s a book for expectant parents who don’t speak English or who, at a stressful time, find that what's most familiar—their first language—is most welcome. It's filled with up-to-date information reflecting not only what's new in pregnancy but what's relevant to pregnant women. Heidi Murkoff has answered dozens of new questions and included loads of new asked-for material, such as a detailed week-by-week fetal development section in each of the monthly chapters, an expanded chapter on pre-conception, and a brand-new one on carrying multiples. More comprehensive, reassuring, and empathetic than ever, this edition incorporates recent developments in obstetrics and addresses current lifestyle trends (from tattooing and belly piercing to Botox and aromatherapy). There's more than ever on pregnancy matters practical (including an expanded section on workplace concerns), physical (with more symptoms, more solutions), emotional (more advice on riding the mood roller coaster), nutritional (from low-carb to vegan, from junk food–dependent to caffeine-addicted), and sexual (what's hot and what's not in pregnant lovemaking), as well as much more support for that very important partner in parenting, the dad-to-be. Overflowing with tips, helpful hints, and humor (a pregnant woman's best friend), this new edition is more accessible and easier to use than ever before. It's everything parents-to-be have come to expect from What to Expect . . . only better.

Download or read book Women Sport Society written by Roberta Park and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last four decades women’s and gender history have become vibrant fields including studies of attitudes regarding the limited physical and other abilities of females as well as studies of the accomplishments of notable female athletes. We have become increasingly aware that women have made contributions to physical education, dance and sport that go far beyond being teachers, athletes and coaches. They have created and implemented an astonishing variety of programs intended to serve the needs of large numbers of children and youth sometimes organizing student health services, as well as chairing departments of physical education. They have worked as directors of sport, physical education and dance, running playgrounds and recreational facilities and have created and/or served as important officers of a variety of sporting organizations. This book explores the contributions and achievements of women in a variety of historical and geographical contexts which, not surprisingly opens opportunities for additions, revisions and counter-narratives to accepted histories of physical education and sport science. It seeks to broaden our understandings about the backgrounds, motivations and achievements of dedicated women working to improve health and bodily practices in a variety of different arenas and for often different purposes. This book was previously published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.
Download or read book Desde Cualquier Punto De Vista written by Jorge Biggs and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-02-23 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desde Cualquier Punto de Vista Desde Cualquier Punto de Vista es una mirada audaz a Santiago de Chile. Con una prosa rpida, un constante cambio de narrador y una irreverencia que no se le conoca en textos anteriores, Biggs aborda los problemas de la vida cotidiana en una historia que pudo ser la suya. El relato central, es el de un ejecutivo exitoso (Carlos Sims) que estando en la cima de su carrera, enfrenta un sorpresivo despido, con todo lo que ello implica: prdida del automvil de la empresa, del chofer y de mil prebendas que crea que seran para siempre. El tema no es menor, cuando va acompaado del relato de personajes como el junior de la oficina, (Pablo Carreo), quien junto a su amigo Sebastin (con una ambigedad sexual el primero y una abierta homosexualidad el segundo), organizan una Brigada de Asalto cuyo financiamiento en una primera etapa est a cargo de una fbrica de condones que ellos mismos han montado. Personajes como la madre de Sebastin (Mara Elena Lillo) antigua combatiente del VOP, de la secretaria (Melinda) que es capaz de cualquier cosa con tal de no fallarle a su jefe, o del sub gerente (Claudio Valds Fonk) quien con un clculo cnico y sin frontera aspira al cargo mximo, se armonizan en forma sinfnica con la suegra del protagonista, que es vctima del terrible mal de Alzheimer, y de su esposa, una mujer de clase quien, desde su soledad pasiva, ve transformarse su entorno sin tener recursos ni respuestas para enfrentar el derrumbe del mundo en que creci. La novela transcurre con una velocidad abismante con una serie de otros personajes tan reales como los que construye Biggs los que van relatando una historia lineal y transversal a la vez, desde su personal punto de vista. Desde Cualquier Punto de Vista (From Any Point of View) is an audacious look at Santiago de Chile. With fast prose, a constant change of narrator and with an irreverence that we didnt see in his previous books, Biggs faces the problems of everyday life in a story that could be your own. The central plot involves a very successful executive (Carlos Sims) who, at the peak of his career, is unexpectedly fired, hence, facing all the lossesthe company car, the chauffer, and thousands of other perks he thought would last forever. This theme is knit with the story of a sexually ambiguous junior executive (Pablo Carreo) and his homosexual friend Sebastin, who together decide to organize a Brigade of Assault, financed by a condom factory. The story is filled with rich characters like Sebastins mother (Mara Elena Lillo), a former V.O.P. Militant (an armed leftist group in Chile during the sixties); Melinda, the secretary who is ready to do anything for her boss; or the assistant manager, (Claudio Valds Fonk) whos trying to claw his way to the top of the Company with a lack of scruples and a cynical attitude. Woven into this rich tapestry is Carlos mother-in-law, a victim of Alzheimers; his wife, a woman with class who, from her passive loneliness, sees her world fall apart without having means or answers to face the destruction of the world she grew up in. Biggs has created a novel of breathless speed with a series of other characters that tell the story in a lineal and transversal way, from their own point of view.
