ABSTRACT The article analyzes the dynamics behind the recentralization of health systems in Brazil and Spain. Recentralization in Brazil and Spain occurred after a long decentralization process when central governments stepped up their monitoring and coordination roles over the health system as a response to the shortcomings of decentralization. The analysis herein explains why Brazil shows a higher degree of recentralization than Spain and reveals two causes of this outcome: first, the different strategies of central governments to sideline at least one subnational level of government during decentralization, and second, the type of opposition these governments faced in the approval of recentralizing measures. This article contributes to the literature on health reforms in two ways: first, it allows for a better grasp on the main factors affecting the advancement of recentralization, and second, it aids in identifying how temporality and territoriality interfere in the recentralization of health systems.

ABSTRACT This article critically analyzes the media practices that intertwine private and public interests and the distortion of reality carried out by journalists in José Ricardo Morales’s play Cómo el poder de las noticias nos da noticias del poder (1969). This play is used as a case study to analyze the playwright’s ideas about using media as a manipulation tool to control and distract the audience in modern capitalist societies. The play’s analysis addresses interviews and the commodification/objectification of women as discursive devices of distraction producing false information in the media industry. This study establishes that Morales’s play reveals the cultural space of distraction used by the media, which contributes to creating a parallel narrative of possible futures, both defying national literary canons and anticipating several issues related to media intervention by corporate media and politicians in the 1960s.
摘要本文批判性地分析了若泽·里卡多·莫拉莱斯(JoséRicardo Morales)1969年的戏剧《通知》(Cómo el poder de las noticias nos da noticias del poder)中,私人利益与公共利益交织在一起的媒体实践,以及记者对现实的扭曲。该剧作为一个案例研究,分析了剧作家在现代资本主义社会中利用媒体作为操纵工具来控制和分散观众注意力的想法。该剧的分析涉及采访和女性的商品化/物化,这些都是媒体行业中制造虚假信息的分散注意力的散漫手段。这项研究表明,莫拉莱斯的戏剧揭示了媒体使用的分散注意力的文化空间,这有助于创造一个关于可能未来的平行叙事,既挑战了国家文学经典,又预测了20世纪60年代企业媒体和政客对媒体干预的几个问题。

ABSTRACT On the tenth anniversary of the 15M protests, this article questions the affective world in which the protests materialized in 2011 in relation to the reception and mediation of 15M in its afterlives. Should future historians take up the task of documenting the shared affects and emotions in circulation around the events of 2011, what would this archive of emotions look like? How would one describe the affective world of the social context in which the 15M protests erupted in 2011? What experiences would this archive of emotions register as representative of both the time of 15M and the tempo in which, one decade later, its many ramifications continue to unfold? How can such an archive be kept alive—in a manner of speaking—thereby contributing to the reactivation of this repertoire of protest actions in the afterlives of 15M?

ABSTRACT This article explores gender role experiences interconnected with class among women of Mexican origin who have migrated to metropolitan Melbourne, Australia. Drawing on qualitative research data from twenty middle high-class and upper-class high-skilled Mexican women, and using an intersectionality prism via Anthias’s translocational positionality, we argue that the personal journey of highly skilled Mexican women’s migration/mobility and located adaptation brings changes to their social class/status and gender role identities. We attempt to ascertain how and why they re-evaluate, challenge, or renegotiate their Mexican class privileges, roles as professionals and as women, and how those roles relate to Australian social ordering. Their experience narratives highlight that most go through challenges in this renegotiation. From the participants’ point of view, some have renegotiated roles within their family units. At work, some feel recognized as professionals in a space which enables them to develop a deep sense of agency and make independent choices.

ABSTRACT This qualitative study examines the constructions of the so-called authentic Mexico, mexicanidad, in Australia. The limited contact between Australia and Mexico means that this phenomenon is still in its infancy, and as such, there is a gap in the literature. The aim of this article is to begin to fill this by examining the presence of mexicanidad in urban Australia, and the impact of this on young, urban Australians’ imaginings of Mexico. This study, conducted among Australian university students, examines how imaginings of Mexico, both positive and negative, are constructed by young Australians. The interviewees (re)produced a stylized pastiche of Mexico. Made in urban Australia, this imaginary comprises Frida-Kahlo-themed restaurants, Day-of-the-Dead exotica, and a fascination with the drug cartels. There are few Mexicans in Australia who might contest the misty-eyed Disneyfication of their cultures, and thus, mexicanidad in Australia operates as a vacant conceptual category into which cool yearnings can be inscribed. This article theorizes the construction of the social imaginary of Mexico in Australia, proposing that there is a presence in Australia of a pastiche version of mexicanidad, made up of both positive and negative imaginings. In the absence of a significant local expatriate population, Australian constructions of Mexico draw upon discourses of an exoticized, postcolonial Other. These imaginings operate as a largely empty conceptual box that serves as a holding space for Australians’ myriad desires, expectations and interpretations.

RESUMEN El siguiente trabajo analiza el repertorio discursivo de ex-integrantes de ETA en torno a cuestiones tales como la violencia, el arrepentimiento o la reconciliación. Tras la realización de nueve entrevistas en profundidad a destacados dirigentes del grupo terrorista, se analizan algunos aspectos vertebradores que legitiman el uso de la violencia política y el terrorismo, tanto en sus orígenes como desde una mirada retrospectiva una vez que ETA ha desaparecido. Asimismo, se muestra la ausencia de arrepentimiento y las dificultades para construir un espacio de reconciliación en el País Vasco. De igual modo, las entrevistas revelan cómo muchas de las cuestiones que motivaron el surgimiento de ETA hoy siguen vigentes y no han desaparecido, 30 más allá del hecho de que el uso de la violencia terrorista no tenga cabida en sociedad vasca.
