Vol. 45 No. 83 (2018): Apuntes 83

This edition of Apuntes starts with an article on agricultural initiatives in La Pampa (Argentina) between 1952 and 1959 and how these were part of a pre-existing official agenda, defined in the context of an agro-ecological crisis. This is followed by an ethnographic and qualitative study which analyzes intergenerational relationships in the care of women and children during pregnancy, birth, and puerperium in Molinos (Salta, Argentina). Then, in the framework of the new conception of social tourism that is expanding on the international level, comes research evaluating the results of Argentine public policy in this sector a decade after it was established. The following study describes therapeutic itineraries in the search of healthcare and rehabilitation for persons with disabilities in Argentina and Chile based on the results of two independent qualitative studies. The purpose of the next article is to analyze ideas, definitions, and practices related to the “emergence” of rehabilitation of persons with disabilities in Argentina between 1940 and 1960. The following analysis provides evidence that level of education seems to be the principal factor determining the choice of Brazilian young people between formal and informal work. Finally, the last article explores rural well-being in Argentina from a historical perspective, concentrating on the perspective of the first residents of the agricultural colony of Florencio Varela, Buenos Aires. Finally, this issue of Apuntes closes with the traditional book review section.
