Quoss-Moore, Rebecca M. Gender and Position-Taking in Henrician Verse. Nieuwe Prinsengracht 89 1018 VR Amsterdam Nederland: Amsterdam University Press, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.5117/9789463723534.
Full textAbstract:
Tradition, translation, and transcription in Henrician verse functioned together in systems of communally created, coded position-taking. Understanding this system as an extensive network of production and reception in which women took on many roles allows for new readings of Henrician verse that emphasize the interpretive range available to contemporary reading and writing communities. This restoration demasculinizes our approach to Henrician verse not only through a more equitable consideration of gender’s functions in that social world, but also in de-emphasizing individualized self-fashioning or authorial intent in favor of an engagement with communal production and shared sociopolitical engagement. The creation in this system is not of a code, but of systems for coding and recognizing position-taking. These communal systems offer a site for the intersection of reader and writer, of transcriber and composer, and of King and courtier in a space that questions, creates, and troubles power in the Henrician court.

Andreev, Anatoliy. Personocentrism in classical Russian literature of the XIX century. Dialectics of Artistic Consciousness. ru: INFRA-M Academic Publishing LLC., 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.12737/1095050.
Full textAbstract:
The monograph is devoted to the study of the brightest phenomenon of the world art culture — Russian literature of the "golden age", which was formed as an aristocratic, personocentric literature. Russian Russian literature began to realize its "cultural code", its purpose, which was close to it in spirit; moreover, it unconsciously formed a program for its development, immediately finding its "gold mine": elitist personocentrism as a highly promising vector of culture, which became a decisive factor in the world recognition of Russian literature. The end-to-end plot of the book was the spiritual biography of the" extra person", a person, a personality. The author suggests that the starting point in the Russian cultural identification of the modern type is "Eugene Onegin" by A. S. Pushkin. This novel in verse, which embodied the type of "superfluous", determined not only the specifics and strategy of the development of Russian literature (which is proved by the analysis of the key classical works of the XIX century-from Griboyedov to Chekhov); in fact, it formed a program for the development of modern world literature.
For specialists in literature, teachers and students of philological faculties of universities. It will also be useful for cultural scientists, specialists in literary and artistic creativity.

Oliveira, Warlley Fernandes, Nívea Taís Vila, Alexandre José Sousa Ferreira, Simone Fiori, and Márcia Gomes da Silva. Tingimento natural de algodão cationizado com extrato dos frutos de jenipapo (Genipa americana L.). Seven Editora, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.56238/sevedi40374-010.
Full textAbstract:
A maioria dos corantes naturais é extraída de fontes vegetais que podem fornecer uma variedade de cores e tonalidades diferentes. Apesar disso, as fontes naturais de tons de azul são muito raras e de complexa estabilização, dificultando a aplicação desses corantes em substratos têxteis. Nesse contexto, os frutos do jenipapo (Genipa americana L.) encontrados no Brasil são uma fonte de coloração azul natural com grande potencial para a indústria têxtil. O objetivo deste estudo inicial foi investigar o tingimento do algodão com o extrato obtido a partir dos frutos verdes de jenipapo, onde foi avaliada a estabilização da cor azul do extrato. O tingimento foi otimizado considerando a influência das variáveis temperatura e pH do banho de tingimento na intensidade de cor dos tecidos tingidos. Também foi avaliado o fator de proteção UV (UPF) das amostras tingidas nas condições otimizadas. O extrato dos frutos verdes de jenipapo se mostrou estável no intervalo de tempo estudado. O melhor resultado de intensidade de cor foi obtido na temperatura de 80 °C e pH 4,0. O fator de proteção UV (UPF) dos tecidos tingidos apresentou um aumento significativo após o processo de tingimento. As propriedades de solidez à lavagem e à fricção também foram avaliadas.

Full textAbstract:
Traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCI) often have a devastating impact on quality of life for patients and their families. Neuroprotection for spinal cord injury is aimed at improving functional outcomes by limiting secondary injury processes that occur within the first minutes, hours, and days following the primary injury. The primary mechanical trauma initiates a secondary injury cascade where ischemia, inflammatory cell infiltration, and cytotoxic changes in the microenvironment cause further cell death and loss of function. Time-sensitive neuroprotective measures targeting these secondary insults have emerged as key therapeutic strategies. This chapter summarizes current evidence-based neuroprotective treatments, such as blood pressure augmentation, early surgical decompression, and intravenous methylprednisolone, as well as important emerging interventions, including therapeutic hypothermia, sodium channel blockade using riluzole, and the anti-inflammatory actions of minocycline. The chapter concludes by summarizing the current guidelines that all practitioners should be well-versed in prior to providing care for patients with SCI.

Full textAbstract:
Poetry is the art of creating images, describing emotions. The poem, in turn, is the work built in verse that seeks to describe the perceived poetry (AURÉLIO). Poetry is present in day-to-day life. This book, compiled and written in difficult times of human existence, is composed of poems crafted by me while I reflected upon my life, the past, the present, and the unfathomable future. I hope you appreciate it, and begin by offering my readers a poem that, in a way, synthesizes the book: The colors of Tomorrow Daybreaks Go by slowly What’s the haste for? The colors of Tomorrow Come by in disguise, Outpour over flowers Awaken the birds. The sun shyly looks That dim world, And begins its journey Coloring life. Best of wishes, friends, and enjoy the reading José Carlos Boudoux, June 2021.

Lee, Jongkyung. Cush will come to Zion with a tribute (Isaiah 18:7). Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198816768.003.0004.
Full textAbstract:
In this chapter, 18:1-2, 4-6 is identified as the original poem against Cush inherited by the supposed late-exilic redactor who added v 7 at the end of the poem. Verse 3 was originally a marginal note on 17:12-14 written in the post-exilic period which was mistakenly copied into the verse’s current position. The only intentional secondary addition made to the original oracle against Cush is v 7 where one finds some points of contact with chs 40-55. Verse 7 foretells that the Cushites who were stricken by YHWH in the past will one day acknowledge his sovereignty and bring tributary gifts to Zion. The future restoration of a once afflicted people, their journey to Zion, and various connections with chs 40-55 all suggest that 18:7 is a continuation of the same vision first set out in 14:1-2.

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this chapter is to provide an introduction to the context, the key terms, and some essential verses in the Bhagavad Gītā (BhG), a text that is indispensable to understanding the Hindu traditions of theology and culture, as well as Indian civilization more broadly. The BhG is used widely in core text programs, in introductions to world religion, and with increasing frequency in courses on comparative theology, with the goal to widen the understanding of students of religion and theology in a global context. The BhG can also be discussed as influential on modern American and European thought since it inspired people as diverse as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, T. S. Eliot, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and the Wachowski Brothers.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores Porter's writing style. It shows that what makes Porter's lyrics unforgettable is the way they combine with the music. There is no more perfect example of this than one of Porter's most famous songs, “You're the Top,” from perhaps his most famous show, Anything Goes. The verse that begins “You're the Top” is not only a perfect introduction to the song but also a perfect introduction to the art of Cole Porter and in particular to his rhythmic genius. The opening lyric is classic Porter with its quintessential highbrow/lowbrow juxtapositions.

Matthews, Samantha. Album Verses and Romantic Literary Culture. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198857945.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
‘Will you write in my album?’ Many Romantic poets were asked this question by women who collected contributions in their manuscript books. Those who obliged included Byron, Scott, Wordsworth, and Lamb, but also Felicia Hemans, Amelia Opie, and Sara Coleridge. Album Verses and Romantic Literary Culture presents the first critical and cultural history of this forgotten phenomenon. It asks a series of questions. Where did 1820s ‘albo-mania’ come from, and why was it satirized as a women’s ‘mania’? What was the relation between visitors’ books associated with great institutions and country houses, personal albums belonging to individuals, and the poetry written in both? What caused albums’ re-gendering from earlier friendship books kept by male students and gentlemen on the Grand Tour to a ‘feminized’ practice identified mainly with young women? When albums were central to women’s culture, why were so many published album poems by men? How did amateur and professional poets engage differently with albums? What does album culture’s privileging of ‘original poetry’ have to say about attitudes towards creativity, poetic practice, and the print marketplace? Album Verses recovers a distinctive subgenre of occasional poetry composed to be read in manuscript, with its own characteristic formal features, conventions, themes, and cultural significance. Unique albums examined include that kept at the Grande Chartreuse, those owned by Regency socialite Lady Sarah Jersey, and those kept by the Lake poets’ daughters. Album Verses and Romantic Literary Culture shows that album poetry reflects changing attitudes to identity, gender, class, politics, poetry, family dynamics, and social relations between 1780 and 1850.

Full textAbstract:
With increasing digitalization and the evolution of artificial intelligence, the legal profession is on the verge of being transformed by technology (legal tech). This handbook examines these developments and the changing legal landscape by providing perspectives from multiple interested parties, including practitioners, academics, and legal tech companies from different legal systems. Scrutinizing the real implications posed by legal tech, the book advocates for an unbiased, cautious approach for the engagement of technology in legal practice. It also carefully addresses the core question of how to balance fears of industry takeover by technology with the potential for using legal tech to expand services and create value for clients. Together, the chapters develop a framework for analyzing the costs and benefits of new technologies before they are implemented in legal practice. This interdisciplinary collection features contributions from lawyers, social scientists, institutional officials, technologists, and current developers of e-law platforms and services.

Full textAbstract:
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder that affects collagen formation and ultimately leads to increased bone fragility. The fragile nature of the bones leads to fractures, even from seemingly normal patient care. Affected patients are at the highest risk for unintentional fractures during perioperative care. There are several different types of OI. Type I is the most common. With the different types come varying degrees of severity. Types II and III are the more severe forms. The classic clinical triad seen in OI is blue sclerae, multiple fractures, and conductive hearing loss. The patient may have other systemic involvement beyond the fragile musculoskeletal system. It is imperative that the anesthesiologist be well-versed in the natural history and perioperative management of patients with OI in order to optimize care and minimize complications.

Hunter, Mark C. Policing the Seas. Liverpool University Press, 2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.5949/liverpool/9780973893465.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This journal explores the British and American attempts to suppress both piracy and slavery in the equatorial Atlantic in the period 1816 to 1865. It aims to demonstrate the pivotal role of naval policy in defining the Anglo-American relationship. It defines the equatorial Atlantic as the region encompassing the coastal zones of the Gulf of Mexico, Central America, Northern Brazil, and the African coast from Cape Verde to the south of the Congo River. It explores the use of sea power by both nations in pursuit of their goals, and the Anglo-American naval relations during this relatively co-operative period. At its core, it argues that naval activities result from national interests - in this instance protecting commerce and furthering economic objectives, a source of tension between America and Britain during the period. It confirms that the two nations were neither allies nor enemies during the period, yet learnt to co-exist non-violently through their strategic use of sea power during peacetime. The journal consists of an introductory chapter, eight chapters of analysis, and a select bibliography.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on the lands held by Aymer de Valence, indicating their location and their value. The lands forming Aymer's earldom bore little relation to those held by the Marshal Earls of Pembroke. The only lands held continuously by the Marshals and by Aymer and his father William de Valence were those forming Joan de Munchensy's purparty in 1247. Aside from this, Aymer's lands were derived from lands acquired in his father's lifetime and from the inheritance of his sister, Agnes de Valence, and his cousin, Denise de Vere. The chapter discusses how widely Pembroke's lands were distributed and shows that in terms of value the core of the earldom lay in eastern England, in the fourteen Norfolk manors and the four in Suffolk, and in the counties from London to Oxfordshire. It also considers William and Joan de Valence's disputes with tenants of the earldom of Pembroke.

Rhodes, Neil. Of Reformed Versifying. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198704102.003.0005.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines how the development of English poetry in the second half of the sixteenth century is characterized by the search for an appropriate style. In this context, ‘reformed versifying’ may be understood as a reconciliation of high and low in which the common is reconfigured as a stylistic ideal of the mean. That development can be traced in debates about prosody where an alternative sense of ‘reformed versifying’ as adapting classical metres to English verse is rejected in favour of native form. At the same time Sidney recuperates poetry by reforming it as an agent of virtue. Reformation and Renaissance finally come together in Spenser, who realizes Erasmus’ aim of harmonizing the values of classical literature with Christian doctrine, and reconciles the foreign and the ‘homewrought’. The Faerie Queene of 1590 represents the triumph of the mean in both style and, through its celebration of marriage, in substance.

Berliner, Todd. The Hollywood Aesthetic. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190658748.003.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Chapter 1 explains Hollywood’s general principles for creating aesthetic pleasure for mass audiences. The chapter introduces the book’s two main theses: (1) Hollywood cinema targets an area, between boredom and confusion, that is optimally pleasing for mass audiences. It seeks to offer enough cognitive challenge to sustain aesthetic interest but not so much that it would jeopardize a film’s hedonic value or cause average spectators to give up the search for understanding. (2) Many of the Hollywood films that offer exhilarating aesthetic experiences beyond a single encounter and over extended periods operate near the boundaries of classicism, veering into areas of novelty and complexity that more typical Hollywood films avoid; however, they do so without sacrificing a mass audience’s ability to cope with the challenge. Such films take risks, and exhilarated pleasure results when they seem on the verge of overburdening or displeasing spectators in some bold and extraordinary way.

Full textAbstract:
William Gilbert, poet, theosophist and astrologer, published The Hurricane: A Theosophical and Western Eclogue in Bristol in 1796, while he was on intimate terms with key members of Bristol literary culture: Coleridge published an extract from The Hurricane in his radical periodical The Watchman; Robert Southey wrote of the poem’s ‘passages of exquisite Beauty’; and William Wordsworth praised and quoted a long passage from Gilbert’s poem in The Excursion. The Hurricane is a copiously annotated 450 line blank verse visionary poem set on the island of Antigua where, in 1763, Gilbert was born into a slave-owning Methodist family. The poem can be grouped with other apocalyptic poems of the 1790s—Blake’s 'Continental Prophecies', Coleridge's 'Religious Musings', Southey's Joan of Arc—all of which gave a spiritual interpretation to the dramatic political upheavals of their time. William Gilbert and Esoteric Romanticism presents the untold story of Gilbert’s progress from the radical occultist circles of 1790s London to his engagement with the first generation Romantics in Bristol. At the heart of the book is the first modern edition of The Hurricane, fully annotated to reveal the esoteric metaphysics at its core, followed by close interpretative analysis of this strange elusive poem.

Full textAbstract:
Joseph Addison: Tercentenary Essays is a collection of fifteen essays by a team of internationally recognized experts specially commissioned to commemorate in 2019 the three-hundredth anniversary of Addison’s death. Almost exclusively known now as the inventor and main author of The Spectator, probably the most widely read and imitated prose work of the eighteenth century, Addison also produced important and influential work across a broad gamut of other literary modes-poems, verse translations, literary criticism, periodical journalism, drama, opera, travel writing. Much of this work is little known nowadays even in specialist academic circles; Addison is often described as the most neglected of the eighteenth century’s major writers. Joseph Addison: Tercentenary Essays sets out to redress that neglect; it is the first essay collection ever published which addresses the full range and variety of his career and writings. Its fifteen chapters fall into three groupings: an initial group of five dealing with Addison’s work in modes other than the literary periodical (poetry, translation, travel writing, drama); a central core of five addressing The Spectator from a variety of disciplinary perspectives (literary-critical, sociological and political, bibliographical); and a final set of five exploring Addison’s reception within several cultural spheres (philosophy, horticulture, art history) by individual writers (Samuel Johnson) or across larger historical periods (the Romantic age, the Victorian age), and in Britain and Europe (especially France). Joseph Addison: Tercentenary Essays provides an overdue and appropriately diverse memorial to one of the eighteenth century’s dominant men of letters.

Ingleheart, Jennifer. Masculine Plural. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198819677.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The Classics were core to the curriculum and ethos of the intensely homosocial Victorian and Edwardian public schools. Yet ancient homosexuality and erotic pedagogy were problematic to the educational establishment, which expurgated classical texts with sexual content. This volume analyses the intimate nexus between the Classics, sex, and education primarily through the figure of the schoolmaster Philip Gillespie Bainbrigge (1890–1918), whose clandestine writings explore homoerotic desires and comment on classical education. It reprints Bainbrigge’s surviving works: Achilles in Scyros (a verse drama featuring a cross-dressing Achilles and a Chorus of lesbian schoolgirls) and a Latin dialogue between schoolboys (with a translation by Jennifer Ingleheart). Like other similarly educated men of his era, Bainbrigge used Latin as an intimate homoerotic language; after reading Bainbrigge’s dialogue, A. E. Housman went on to write a scholarly article in Latin about ancient sexuality, Praefanda. This volume, therefore, also examines the parallel of Housman’s Praefanda, its knowing Latin, and bold challenge to mainstream morality. Bainbrigge’s works show the queer potential of Classics. His underground writings owe more to a sexualized Rome than an idealized Greece, offering a provocation to the study of Classical Reception and the history of sexuality. Bainbrigge refuses to apologize for homoerotic desire, celebrates the pleasures of sex, and disrupts mainstream ideas about the Classics and the relationship between ancient and modern. As this volume demonstrates, Rome is central to Queer Classics: it provided a male elite with a liberating erotic language, and offers a variety of models for same-sex desire.

Igarashi, Yohei. The Connected Condition. Stanford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.11126/stanford/9781503610040.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
How can Romantic poetry, motivated by the poet’s intense yearning to impart his thoughts and feelings, be so often difficult and the cause of readerly misunderstanding? How did it come to be that a poet can compose a verbal artwork, carefully and lovingly put together, and send it out into the world at the same time that he is adopting a stance against communication? This book addresses these questions by showing that the period’s writers were responding to the beginnings of our networked world of rampant mediated communication. The Connected Condition reveals that major Romantic poets shared a great attraction and skepticism toward the dream of perfectible, efficient connectivity that has driven the modern culture of communication. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, Percy Shelley, and John Keats all experimented with their artistic medium of poetry to pursue such ideals of speedy, transparent communication at the same time that they tried out contrarian literary strategies: writing excessively ornate verse, prolonging literary reading with tedious writing, being obscure, and questioning the allure of quickly delivered information. This book shows that the Romantic poets have much to teach us about living in—and living with—the connected condition, as well as the fortunes of literature in it.

Archer, Harriet. Unperfect Histories. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198806172.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The Mirror for Magistrates, the collection of de casibus complaint poems in the voices of medieval rulers and rebels compiled by William Baldwin in the 1550s, was central to the development of imaginative literature in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Additions by John Higgins, Thomas Blenerhasset, and Richard Niccols between 1574 and 1610 extended the Mirror’s scope, shifted its focus, and prolonged its popularity; in particular, the texts’ later manifestations profoundly influenced the work of Spenser and Shakespeare. Unperfect Histories is the first monograph to consider the text’s early modern transmission history as a whole. In chapters on Baldwin, Higgins, Blenerhasset, and Niccols’s complaint collections, it demonstrates that the Mirror is an invaluable witness to how verse history was conceptualized, written, and read across the period, and explores the ways in which it was repeatedly reinterpreted and redeployed in response to changing contemporary concerns. The Mirror corpus encompasses topical allegory, nationalist polemic, and historiographical scepticism, as well as the macabre humour and metatextual play which have come to be known as hallmarks of Baldwin’s mid-Tudor writings. What has not been recognized is the complex interaction of these themes and techniques right across the Mirror’s history. Higgins, Blenerhasset, and Niccols’s contributions are analysed for the first time here, both within their own literary and historiographical contexts, and in dialogue with Baldwin’s early editions. This new reading offers a lively account of the texts’ depth and variety, and provides insight into the extent of the Mirror’s influence and ubiquity in early modern literary culture.

Full textAbstract:
Esta pesquisa foi caracterizada como descritiva quantitativa de corte transversal. Durante o processo de desenvolvimento motor ocorre uma série de mudanças físicas e mecânicas, onde os fatores do crescimento físico, da maturação, do desenvolvimento da aptidão física, da atividade física, da idade e da experiência estão inter-relacionados. Objetivo geral deste estudo foi estudar os diferentes efeitos da aptidão física, estado nutricional e estado maturacional sobre o desempenho motor de adolescentes de 13 a 16 anos no município de Itaituba/Pará. Metodologia desenvolvida foi com o n=amostral de102 alunos de ambos os gêneros com idade entre 13 a 16 anos da cidade de Itaituba/PA. Todos os responsáveis assinaram o TCLE e liberados pelo médico para os testes, os instrumentos utilizados foram MABC-2,caminhada/corrida de 6 e 9, protocolo de T.G Lohman, Banco de Wells, Arremesso de Medicinibol, Sargent Jump Test, Teste de Impulsão Horizontal, Balança Antropométrica e o PVC. A estatística utilizada foi descritiva e inferencial através do programa SPSS que avaliou a relação e ou associação dos resultados. Resultados para o Estado Nutricional, na avaliação geral da amostra, 78,4% foram classificadas dentro da normalidade. Quando comparada entre gêneros, os meninos apresentaram o índice de 85,4% e as meninas 72,2% dentro da normalidade. Para a variável Aptidão Física, apenas os valores dos testes de Arremesso de Medicinibol, Impulsão Horizontal e Flexibilidade, apresentaram índices acima da média. Quando comparados entre gêneros, os meninos não superaram as meninas no teste de abdominal, impulsão horizontal e percentual de gordura. Na análise do estado maturacional, realizado através do teste de Pico de Velocidade de Crescimento, as meninas alcançaram este estado por volta dos 12,9 anos de idade, enquanto os meninos aos 14,6 anos. Na análise do desempenho motor, apenas 38,9% das meninas encontram-se na zona verde, apresentando 40,7% com indicativo de TDC, nos meninos, 50% estão na zona verde e apenas 18,8% apresentam indicativo de TDC. Na associação do desempenho motor entre a idade, a aptidão física, o estado nutricional e o estado maturacional, os resultados apontam significância apenas para a associação entre o desempenho motor e um item da aptidão física, a flexibilidade. Concluímos que o processo de aquisição das habilidades motoras emerge em função das influências ambientais e socioeconômicas, claro, sem esquecer, principalmente, da interação entre o genótipo e fenótipo sobre o desempenho motor. Hoje em dia observamos um declínio enorme de oferecimento de oportunidades motoras para crianças e adolescentes, gerando menores estímulos e com isso, poucas experiências motoras.

Full textAbstract:
La minería es una de las actividades económicas más antiguas de la humanidad. A grandes rasgos consiste en la exploración y extracción de recursos minerales no renovables presentes en el suelo o el subsuelo en la forma de yacimientos, los cuales al ser transformados pueden emplearse en un extenso campo de aplicaciones de la vida cotidiana (tales como la industria eléctrica, automotriz, química, alimentaria; así como en la construcción, el transporte, la salud y la fabricación de armamento, etc.). Esta actividad suele ir de la mano con el desarrollo tecnológico, y dados sus múltiples campos de aplicación en algunos países es y seguirá siendo una actividad económica importante. En efecto, algunas organizaciones internacionales la han considerado como uno de los indicadores básicos de las posibilidades de desarrollo económico de una localidad, región o país. En efecto, la experiencia de países en los que la minería es una actividad económica importante como es el caso de Australia, Estados Unidos, Canadá y algunos países nórdicos como Finlandia, Suecia y Noruega es una muestra de ello. En Chile la minería ha representado entre el 9% y el 16% de su Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) en la última década. En efecto, gracias a su gran riqueza en recursos naturales, la minería en Chile reviste una innegable importancia. Tanta, que el país es reconocido como potencia minera a nivel mundial, siendo la explotación de la minería del cobre una de sus principales actividades económicas.Al ser la explotación del cobre un importante motor de la economía del país, históricamente ha estado rodeada de demandas sociales, de acuerdo con las cuales la participación de las empresas mineras debería verse suficientemente reflejada en el aspecto fiscal y en otros aspectos de la vida de todos los chilenos, más aún si se considera que la Constitución Política de la República, concretamente en su artículo 19, Nº 24, inciso 6º, consagra el dominio absoluto, exclusivo, inalienable e imprescriptible de todas las minas para el Estado. En virtud de este argumento, muchas han sido las discusiones que han rodeado a la actividad minera; habiéndose instalado por mucho tiempo la percepción de que las empresas mineras privadas no contribuyen tanto como podrían a través del pago de sus tributos. Por esta y otras razones la tributación minera en Chile no ha estado exenta de cuestionamientos, fundamentalmente desde dos perspectivas diferentes.Una que preconiza la existencia de un régimen especial de privilegio o fomento, que pondría en duda si la contribución que por vía fiscal realizan las empresas dedicadas a este sector es realmente adecuada a sus características, ingresos, y al impacto que causan al medio ambiente, entre otros aspectos; con lo cual, no sólo se estarían vulnerando los principios tributarios y los del régimen constitucional del dominio minero, sino que además se estaría restando importancia a otros aspectos vitales para la coexistencia de la minería como actividad económica fundamental de Chile y un medio ambiente sano. En contrapartida, otro punto de vista aduce que es necesario mantener una “discriminación positiva” o bien un régimen especial, pero que incentive la inversión privada, a través del establecimiento de beneficios, tasas de imposición bajas, así como de normas que garanticen la estabilidad jurídica, que comprenda las particularidades de la “propiedad minera” y las fases de la actividad, que cuente con una escasa o nula variación fiscal, que brinde celeridad a la aprobación de los proyectos mineros y resulte atractivo para la inversión extranjera. Todo lo anterior, estaría justificado en los excesivos riesgos, elevada cuantía de las inversiones falta de capital nacional para invertir en el sector, largos plazos de los proyectos, el hecho de que, pese a sus efectos o impactos, la minería es una actividad económica necesaria, y las pocas probabilidades de éxito que rodean a esta actividad. Lo dicho lleva necesariamente a preguntarse desde otro punto de vista, si suponiendo que fuese necesario el mantenimiento o en su caso el diseño o la instauración de un régimen especial que grave a la actividad minera, por sus particularidades ¿Debería ser este más o menos oneroso que los regímenes regulares aplicables al resto de los contribuyentes? ¿Por qué? ¿El marco constitucional actual permite que existan regímenes tributarios especiales? ¿Cuáles son los fundamentos que justifican la existencia de un régimen especial para la minería? en ese sentido: ¿Qué es lo que puede gravarse?
