A possible solution to the increase of noise waited for by the automobile flow produced by works of the road interchange of the Avenues Universitaria and Venezuela and who have not been considered in the initial proposal that comes being executed by the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima is related. The sonorous barriers are very common in the developed countries, but we see that this technology has not been introduced in our means and this work when adjacent being to the main and more important Peruvian university deserves this improvement not to affect the education processes learning (EPL).

The dictatorships that ravaged Argentina during the 1960s and 1970s produced a profound restructuring of the universities and the scientific and technological research system. With their research and teaching activities decimated, public institutions suffered the closure of their academic spaces, defunding and ideological persecution.In contrast to this panorama which characterised a large part of the public academic environment, a considerable number of private institutions dedicated to social science research developed during the 1960s ―and even with more momentum from the mid-1970s onwards―. These became an alternative to the extreme instability and repression of the public sphere. Most of these centres functioned as a kind of intellectual refuge for a not insignificant number of economists, sociologists, political scientists and historians who found a space of protection and relative autonomy. This phenomenon brought about changes in the ways of doing social sciences in the region, thematic, theoretical and methodological openings, as well as fluid dialogues with other national contexts. The Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales (CLACSO), which has always been based in Buenos Aires, stood out among these institutions for its regional multi-site presence, its institutional strength and that of its several member centres, its funding capacity as well as the protection it received from international organisations and agencies. Throughout this article we will analyse the activities carried out by clacso during the last dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983). We will do so on the basis of a study of their publication titled David and Goliath. clacso Bulletin, the main source of our research. It quickly became the main means of disseminating activities as well as a space for reflection, critical analysis and coordination among Latin American intellectuals.

Abstract   The research aims to examine the institutional and political processes of Honduran society from the 1950s to the 1980s that are related to the emergence of the History Career at the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) in 1976. It details some institutional aspects of the University and relates them to a broader social context in which the phenomena of social mobilization, State reform policies and the threat of authoritarian reaction that always hung over the period are important. The aim is to provide a social view of an institutional phenomenon such as the organization of the History Career. I consulted journalistic sources, internal documents of the University (memoirs, projects, aide-memoires) and recorded some testimonies of actors who participated in the organization and first years of operation. In the end, it is notable that the professors and officials who gave rise to the career had a clear intention to make history one more resource for the transformation of society. This would be done through a contribution of critical knowledge that would question the official discourses on the nation, something considered vital for the creation of a popular national conscience. This knowledge, however, would also be based on ideas of the academy in vogue at the time on the structural study of social phenomena. The originality resided in the fact that this was joined to a particular idea of scientific work as collective labor, field work and social projection that transcended the university classrooms. Historiography in Central America has few reflections on the processes of institutionalization of history. This article seeks to keep alive a very unusual discussion: the relationship between the professionalization of history and the social and political context.   Keywords: historiography, institutionalization, university, politics, science, academia, Central American history.

The decade of the fifties of the 20th century constitutes an important point of view about different intellectual, editorial, political and cultural processes that happened currently around history’s professionalization as an academic discipline. On that way, it is sustainable on the next pages that the political commemorative culture around Mexican nationalism on the fifties, through their commemorative books (this books are assumed as a primary source and object of study) can be seen as an alternative platform to analyze how pioneers of the history’s professionalization and institutionalization ―and some of their first pupils― incorporated in the field of production of a new historiography that, came mostly from an institutional or state initiative and, as a result, it subscribed to the nationalist rhetoric of its time, at the time of professional historians were incorporating in these ideas, they started to produce new senses for the readings of the national history, and early they were distinguishing from the productions written by politicians, intellectuals and lawyers, constituting the consolidation of the autonomy in the field of production of professional historiography or opening new paths to explain national history, just like it happened in the commemoration of the centennial of the 1857 Constitution which is analyzed here through one of their works, trajectories and sociability networks of their authors in the cultural context of the cold war.

The objective of this work is to expose the concept of reactionary historiography. First, I will focus on delineating the debate about the uses of historiography inside conservative and right-wing thought, starting from the recent idea of ​​Alt/Histories used by Louie Valencia-García. I will show that anachronisms are an important part of reactionary historiography and that they produce an effect of non-synchronicity (Ungleichzeitigkeit), according to the German philosopher Ernst Bloch. In a second moment, I will delimit this non-synchronicity in the framework of European political theology and what Carl Schmitt calls “the political philosophy of the counterrevolution”. Contrary to some approaches that I question here, reactionary thought would not prioritize a linear and synchronous image of history, but instead feeds on an exceptionalist representation of the revolutionary event and the responses that could be given to it. Subsequently, I expose some exponents of reactionary historiography in Chile and discuss the philosophical presuppositions of their work: especially Mario Góngora and Jaime Eyzaguirre, two fundamental thinkers of Chilean conservatism. The concept of reactionary historiography, in my opinion, would help to deconstruct the philosophical presuppositions and the “theoretical metastases” in the words of Hans Blumenberg, with which history reads critical events. Far from being innocent, the political uses of the past are overdetermined by conjunctural positions and determinable theoretical conceptions. Through a visit to the essays of Catholic intellectuals of the nineteenth century and of the Chilean right-wing though of the twentieth century, I start the investigation of a chapter of the conceptual history of the Latin American right, reactionary historiography.

This work aims to describe the emergence of the Centro de Historia de Manizales as an institutional space whose purpose was to promote studies on regional history during the second decade of the 20th century. The text explains were the conditions that facilitated the creation and existence of this Centro in a space far from the Colombian capital and analyze the reasons to explain why the main achievement of this Project, the Archivo Historial journal (1918-1934), did not could have continuity. However, some aspects of regional and local history are mentioned in that magazine that was novel at the time. To carry out this research, I reviewed the copies of the journal, I analyzed the guidelines of the Academia Nacional de Historia during the period of existence of the publication. In particular, I paid attention to the guidelines on the creation of Centro de Historia outside the capital of the country. I also examined the personal correspondence of Enrique Otero D’Acosta, one of the main actors in the case of the journal Archivo Historial. In this way, the work studies aspects related to the writing of regional history in Colombia that had not been previously analyzed, such as the emergence of the Centro, the policies that gave rise to it, and the emergence of a publication such as the Center’s journal.

This paper investigates the cumulative production of knowledge about the development of Latin America, in general, and Argentina, in particular, from the case of Economic Development, in the period 1958-1975. The author proposes, through a conceptual theoretical analysis, that the accumulation of knowledge is evidenced by gradually posing new analysis variables and questions. Between 1958 and 1959, a central problem was the transformation of an agrarian productive structure into an industrial one. Between 1961 and 1969, the above is assumed, and includes social and political aspects of Latin American underdevelopment. Between 1970 and 1975, the magazine publishes discussions on dependency and on some specific experiences of underdevelopment, condensing problematizations and findings from the two previous periods.

The General Archive of the Nation (AGN) in Mexico has functioned for more than two-hundred and thirty years, but there are no contemporary studies on its history. Faced with this problem, in this article I study the last ninety years of the AGN's history from the study of the Boletín del Archivo General de la Nación, understood as a discursive form that functions as a record transmitter of knowledge and an indicator of historical change. The main argument of this article is that archival science as a feminized auxiliary science of history has been neglected by the production of historical knowledge under assumptions advanced by sexist premises. In light of this, I propose a methodology through which archival science and the craft of archivists come to the fore in the historical analysis of Mexican archival history.

Almanacs, as time technologies, were means of diffusion of important information, both for public and private life. In addition to serving for the institution of time, these popular printed matters were concerned with disseminating useful recipes, political and commercial information, and expressing the political changes brought about by modernity. The present work is concerned with the study of the production of almanacs in Colombia (1811-1873), paying attention to formats, uses and production. For methodological reasons, a distinction is made between almanacs, calendars and strangers’ guides, and, based on the notion of refiguration, adaptation forms coherent with the needs of the circulation context are studied.
