Trans-Disciplinary Migrations: Science, the Sacred and the Arts, 2024

Shifting perceptions of art, its meaning and relevance in society have determined the ways, and the degrees to which, art has been valued over the course of history. The idea that art practice arose from sacred practices-that the shaman figure gave rise to the prototypical artist, and that shamanism formed the prototype for all the arts-has gained traction through 21 st-century advances in archaeological, anthropological and art historical findings. Shamanism and similar ecstatic techniques underlie the magical-religious traditions of ancient and historical cultures, with clear foundations in prehistoric contexts, and is considered the most ancient religious practice experienced by our human ancestors. Earliest artistic production belonged to the repertoire of the shaman in her or his communal, devotional, or magical function of image making and transformational storytelling. Art's migration away from these apparently collective origins led to elite, priestly roles of elect seer, "touched by the gods," along the lines of Renaissance humanist notions of the artist as the virtuously masculinized “melancholic genius” or virtuoso.3 Ultimately, we arrive at the “deifying” elevation of the historical “Old Masters”4 of the European academic canon, and contemporary “art stars.”

Autóctona, 2024

Este trabajo propone, desde el enfoque de la Historia Global, que a fin de comprender el comercio transpacífico entre América del Sur y Asia en la primera mitad del siglo XIX es necesario entender a los puertos de Valparaíso y Callao como ejes articuladores de un sistema portuario, lo que cuestiona la hipótesis de la hegemonía de Valparaíso en el Pacifico Sudamericano. Al aumentar la escala de análisis, incluyendo el comercio con Asia, se observa que incluso la guerra entre Chile y la Confederación Peruano-boliviana no interrumpió la complementariedad de los mercados de la costa del Pacífico sudamericano. A fin de comprobar la hipótesis, se analiza la Estadística Comercial de Chile, para evaluar la importancia del comercio bilateral en este periodo. También se revisan los registros de las Capitanías de Puerto de Valparaíso y Callao, para determinar la cantidad de embarcaciones que pasaban por ambos puertos antes de atravesar el Océano Pacífico, y al retornar. Finalmente, se estudian dos casos de expediciones comerciales a China, organizadas en América del Sur, una desde Valparaíso y otra desde el Callao. Como conclusión, se afirma que la complementariedad de ambas plazas fue fundamental para hacer rentable el comercio transpacífico.

At, Araba ve Kaza: Osmanlı Cephesinden İstanbul’un Trafik Çilesi (1860-1890), 2024

Those who are exposed to the traffic problem of Istanbul may see the drivers and pedestrians city of a hundred, one hundred and fifty years ago as more fortunate. The sound of the engine had not yet scratched the ears of the inhabitants of the capital; it can be thought that traffic did not create a state of tension and panic for people in the years when animals and cars pulled by them were the main elements in transportation and carriage services other than pedestrians. However, the news published in the newspapers of the period are ready to testify that Istanbul’s traffic problem is a bad legacy that has survived since the 1850s. The capital’s unsuitable road network and zoning plan, as well as the increase in population and naturally the number of vehicles due to factors such as migration and commercial revival, have been the main factors shaping that heritage, which is difficult to follow. Not much different from today, when the behaviour of some drivers ignoring the rules determined regarding traffic took their place in the equation, it was an ordinary development to come across an accident tidings almost every day in the newspapers of the period. In this study, the subjects that have never been researched until now are conveyed through the case studies reflected in the newspapers of the period such as the causes of traffic accidents in the Ottoman capital, the subjects of which were animals and their cars, and the damages they caused, the laws enacted to prevent accidents in order to protect public order and other measures taken by the authorities, and the officers responsible for following and implementing them, and of course, those who violated the traffic rules.
