    10Be chronology of the Last Glacial Maximum and Termination in the Andes of central Chile: The record of the Universidad Glacier (34° S)
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2024) Fernández Navarro, Hans Andrés; García B., Juan Luis; Nussbaumer, Samuel U.; Tikhomirov, Dmitry; Pérez Mora, Francia Débora; Gartner Roer, Isabelle; Christl, Marcus; Egli, Markus
    Reconstructing mid-latitude glacier variations is a prerequisite for unveiling the interhemispheric climate linkages and atmospheric-ocean forcings that triggered those changes during the last glacial cycle. Nonetheless, the timing, magnitude, and structure of glacier fluctuations in the southern mid-latitudes remain incomplete. Here, we present a new Be-10 chronology of the Universidad Glacier in the Andes of central Chile (34 degrees S, 70 degrees W; similar to 2500 m a.s.l.) based on 21 cosmogenic-exposure ages of boulders on discrete moraine ridges defining former ice margins. Our findings include the mapping and dating of three moraines, UNI I, UNI II, and UNI III, located similar to 20 km, 15 km, and 10 km down-valley from the present-day glacier front, respectively. The Be-10 exposure ages of the UNI I moraine range from 135.9 +/- 7.1 to 51.4 +/- 2.7 ka (n = 3). The UNI II moraine gave a mean age of 18.0 +/- 0.9 (n = 15) and the UNI III moraine yielded a mean age of 13.9 +/- 0.8 ka (n = 3). The UNI I moraine implies the largest ice extent during a pre-Last Glacial Maximum (pre-LGM) period, including the penultimate glaciation. The UNI II is a moraine complex that represents cold and humid conditions in central Chile at the end of the LGM, which we attribute to the northward-shift of the Southern Westerly Winds (SWW). The UNI III moraine represents a return to glacial conditions interrupting the Termination, evidencing both a double-step deglacial trend observed through the southern middle and high latitudes at the end of the last ice age. The Andes at this subtropical latitude record a global signal of glacial and climate change.

    2 Golden rats and sick empires: portraying medicine, poverty, and the bubonic plague in La Peste
    (Manchester University Press, 2022) Ragas Rojas, José Frank; Palma Maturana, Patricia Nataly; González Donoso, Guillermo Adrián
    With a ten-million-euro budget and 400 extras on set, La Peste (The Plague) – a ten-episode TV show produced by Spanish communication conglomerate Movistar and aired in January 2018 – became not only the most ambitious production in Spanish television history but also an overnight sensation among viewers and critics. This chapter examines how La Peste combines historical accuracy and fiction to portray the role of medicine, health agents, and population around a late sixteenth-century epidemic outbreak. Its release coincided with the centennial of the Spanish flu that killed twenty to fifty million people around the globe. In placing the epidemic at the core of the narrative, the show unveils the multiple yet contradictory ways people from various social groups and backgrounds reacted to the pandemic: either to save their own lives, procure a cure for others, or to take advantage of the crisis. The chapter highlights what makes La Peste a relevant case to study. As part of its marketing campaign, the production team deliberately sought to trespass the screen and insert the narrative into people’s daily lives. This team designed in advance of the TV series an interactive website with digital resources on the history of medicine and historical sites. Furthermore, in the days prior to the launch, several golden rats appeared in the streets of Seville to announce the show. While some viewers expressed their discomfort with the crude scenes depicting poor living conditions, others engaged with the campaign. As a result of this, La Peste constitutes a fascinating example of the possibilities offered by TV shows as vehicles for disseminating historical medical knowledge to a vast audience.

    Accelerating Glacier Area Loss Across the Andes Since the Little Ice Age
    (John Wiley & Sons, 2024) Carrivick, Jonathan L.; Davies, Morwenna; Wilson, Ryan; Davies, Bethan J.; Gribbin, Tom; King, Owen; Rabatel, Antoine; García B., Juan Luis; Ely, Jeremy C.
    Andean glaciers are losing mass rapidly but a centennial-scale context to those rates is lacking. Here we show the extent of >5,500 glaciers during the Little Ice Age chronozone (LIA; c. 1,400 to c. 1,850) and compute an overall area change of -25% from then to year 2000 at an average rate of -36.5 km(2 )yr(-1) or -0.11% yr(-1). Glaciers in the Tropical Andes (Peru, Bolivia) have depleted the most; median -56% of LIA area, and the fastest; median -0.16% yr(-1). Up to 10 x acceleration in glacier area loss has occurred in Tropical mountain sub-regions comparing LIA to 2,000 rates to post-2000 rates. Regional climate controls inter-regional variability, whereas local factors affect intra-region glacier response time. Analyzing glacier area change by river basins and by protected areas leads us to suggest that conservation and environmental management strategies should be re-visited as proglacial areas expand.

    Acción, verdad y sentido : potencia y límite de la performance en el ejercicio historiográfico
    (Universidad de Concepción, Biblioteca Central, Chile, 2016) Kalawski Isla, Andrés Antonio
    La pregunta por qué es la historia y cómo conocerla y contarla está lejos de estar resuelta. Partiendo de la distinción que hace Arendt (2002) entre pensamiento y razón, se propone aquí una reevaluación de la utilidad de la performance para el ejercicio de investigación historiográfica, insistiendo, no en su novedad, sino en la pertinencia de su formalización en la academia.

    Acta de Tarapacá: pueblo sin agua, pueblo muerto
    (2018) Latorre Hidalgo, Claudio; Marquet Iturriaga, Pablo Angel; McRostie, Virginia; Maldonado, Antonio; Santoro, Calogero M.; Valenzuela, Daniela; Jofré, Daniela; Angelo, Dante; Gayo, Eugenia M.; Hamamé, Eva; Correa, Jacqueline; Barraza, José; Capriles, José M.; Porras, María Eugenia de; Uribe, Mauricio; Castro, Victoria; Standen, Vivien G.
    El “Acta de Tarapacá” constituye un llamado de atención sobre la necesidad de cambiar la manera como las sociedades humanas han estado utilizando el agua en el Desierto de Atacama, mediante una perspectiva histórica a lo largo de milenios. El Acta, una iniciativa que resume los resultados del proyecto CONICYT/PIA Anillo SOC1405 “Cambios Sociales y Variabilidad Climática a Largo Plazo en el Desierto de Atacama”, está dirigida a la sociedad civil y a distintas instancias políticas con miras a que se generen cambios tecnológicos y culturales para detener y mitigar los efectos causados por las actividades antrópicas en uno de los desiertos más antiguos y áridos del mundo. En el transcurso del proyecto se constató la necesidad urgente de sensibilizar a la sociedad acerca del desmesurado y mal uso del agua en el Desierto de Atacama; un recurso no renovable con relación a las escalas económicas de extracción ya que depende, fundamentalmente, de aguas fósiles que fueron acumuladas durante milenios en las zonas altas del desierto. De esta manera queremos evitar que este conocimiento científico se encapsule en las universidades y hacer eco de lo señalado por Victoria Castro (2003): Para crecer hay que educar.

    Adoración de los Magos de Cornelis Engebretsz. Propuesta de interpretación a la luz de la idea de Imperio Universal”,
    (2023) Sanfuentes Echeverría, Olaya Francisca
    El siguiente artículo pretende desplegar una interpretación complementaria y diferente a la que el museo Norton Simon provee del cuadro del pintor Cornelis Engebretsz. A través de un estudio iconológico y el uso de la conjetura como metodología historiográfica, se quiere demostrar que este tipo de representación colaboró en la formación de una idea de la monarquía católica universal.
