This paper analyses the transnational and intergenerational knowledge that Peruvian migrant women bring to the social production of habitat in Argentinean cities. In a context of increasing difficulties for Peruvian families to access urban space, this study highlights migrant women's capacity for agency through community organisation. Based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative data collected from research carried out in a neighbourhood built by migrants in the city of Cordoba, the article shows that urban experiences of Peruvian women reveal not only spatial segregation, but also a subaltern urbanism that attempts to ensure the sustainability of life.

This paper comparatively analyses the representation of women in Chilean print advertising in 1980 and 2013, years that represent the beginning and consolidation of a modernisation process, in which consumption became one of the main axes of social life and advertising, a major actor in the public space. Notwithstanding the far-reaching process of modernisation and the major transformations in Chilean society, advertisements in 2013 still depict stereotypical gender representations. For example, women assume passive roles that do not reflect their growing independence as a result of their integration into the labour market.

<p>Russia-Ukraine tensions escalated from 2021 and on 24 February 2022 Russia launched a military operation to invade Ukraine. More than 2 years after, the war goes on and its consequences thus far are devastating, multifaceted and global. More than 12 million people are estimated to have been displaced by the war. The lack of basic commodities produced by Russia and Ukraine has led to a global energy and food sovereignty crisis, inflation and the consequent cost of living crisis and a deepening of poverty.

This article examines how Chilean museums that exhibit war handles the bodily consequences of war and weapons upon the human body through an investigation of how death and injury in the War of the Pacific (1879–1884) is represented in a museal context. Are Chilean museums able to defetishise historical weapons and other forms of voyeurism? By analysing two permanent galleries and one temporary exhibit, this article argues that Chilean museums are unable to fully abandon traditional representations that treat the war as a romantic and heroic conflict. Death and injury are present in the museums but lack a reflexive and critical perspective.
