Abstract:
AbstractThe essay examines the conditions of book accumulation in two places in the world economy, California and Peru, through the narratives left by book collector Hubert Bancroft and librarian and historian Jorge Basadre. A reading of these reveals the complex interrelations between socioeconomic development and cultural accumulation. In California, Bancroft turned his fortune accumulated through business into a unique book collection and this, in turn, was placed at the service of a “factory of history” that produced a multivolume “History of the Pacific States of North America.” In the Peruvian case, after a fire destroyed most of the collections of the National Library of Lima, historian Basadre directed an effort of reconstruction that led him to reflect upon the state's neglect of cultural patrimony, popular disdain for high culture, and Peru's long tradition of exporting books and documents to foreign collectors and libraries. Basadre's reflections speak of the position of a peripheral intellectual within a context of underdevelopment. I examine the centripetal logic of book accumulation and call for further engagement with this neglected side of cultural history.

Abstract:
An unpublished collection of watercolours entitled “The Fruits of the Lima market. by Mrs. D. E. Smith, between the years 1850 & ”53” can be credited to Dorothea Eliza Smith (1804–1864), wife of the Scottish physician Archibald Smith (1797–1868) who published Peru as it is. The watercolours were once in the Crewe Hall library and were purchased by Paul and Rachel Mellon in 1957. They are now in the Oak Spring Garden Library in Virginia, USA. The identification of the artist has also revealed fascinating aspects in the life of the Smith family, including a tragedy at sea off the coast of Peru and a personal art collection that included works by van Dyck, Murillo, Jordaens, Andrea del Sarto, and Zurbarán, among others.

Full text
Abstract:
This essay examines three museums of contemporary art in Lima, Peru: MAC (Museum of Contemporary Art), MALI (Lima Art Museum), and MASM (San Marcos Art Museum). As framed through curatorial studies and cultural politics, we argue that the curatorial practices of these institutions are embedded with tensions linked to the negotiation of regional, national, and international identities, coloniality, and alternate modernities between Western paradigms of contemporary art and contemporary vernacular art in Peru. Peruvian national institutions have not engaged in the collection of contemporary art, leaving these practices to private entities such as the MAC, MALI, and MASM. However, these three institutions have not, until recently, actively collected contemporary vernacular Peruvian art and its by-products, thus inscribing this work as “non-Western” through curatorial practices and creating competing conceptions of the contemporary. The curatorial practices of the MAC, MALI, and MASM reflect the complex and contested musealities and conceptions of the contemporary that co-exist in Lima. This essay will address this environment and the emergence of alternative forms of museality, curatorial practices, and indigenous artist’s strategies that continually construct and disrupt different modernities and create spaces for questioning constructs of contemporary art and Peruvian cultural identities.

Abstract:
Introduction: The number of breast reconstructions after breast cancer is increasing over the years. This study evaluates complications in the first 30 days after breast reconstruction post mastectomy in different surgical techniques for patients with non-metastatic breast cancer. Methods: Retrospective cohort including patients who underwent breast reconstruction post mastectomy at the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases (INEN) 2014-2018. Outcomes were immediate complications (first 30 days after surgery). Cumulative incidences were obtained. Association with clinical and demographic factors was evaluated using adjusted relative risk (aRR) obtained via Poisson Regression with robust variances. Results: 2092 patients had mastectomy at INEN during the study period, but only 271 underwent breast reconstruction. From them, 148 had complete data and fulfilled the selection criteria. Median age was 45 years old, 62.16% had overweight/obesity, and 35.85% had clinical stage III. 28.38% had immediate autologous reconstruction, 33.11% immediate prosthetic reconstruction, and 38.51% delayed reconstruction of any type. 48.65% had some surgical complication in the first 30 days, being the most frequent dehiscence (20.27%) and superficial infection (18.92%). Overweight/Obesity (aRR 1.96; 1.24-3.10) and having immediate reconstruction (aRR 1.54; 1.04-2.27) were associated to complications. Prosthetic technique use was protective (aRR 0.59; 0.40-0.85), as well as Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (aRR 0.65; 0.42-0.99). Conclusions: The prosthetic surgical technique had less early complication incidence than the autologous one. On the other hand, immediate surgery after mastectomy was more likely to present complications compared with delaying. Variables as obesity, neoadjuvant therapy and ECOG intervened in the incidence of complications.
Introducción: El número de reconstrucciones mamarias post cáncer de mama ha ido en aumento. Este estudio evalúa las complicaciones en los primeros 30 días luego de reconstrucción mamaria post mastectomía para cáncer de mama no metastásico en sus diferentes técnicas quirúrgicas. Métodos: Cohorte retrospectiva de pacientes con reconstrucción mamaria post mastectomía en el Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas (INEN) entre 2014-2018. Los desenlaces fueron las complicaciones quirúrgicas en los 30 días siguientes a la cirugía. Se obtuvieron incidencias acumuladas, y se evaluó su asociación con diversos factores clínico-demográficos mediante riesgos relativos crudos y ajustados (aRR) obtenidos vía Regresión de Poisson con varianza robusta. Resultados: De 2092 pacientes que tuvieron mastectomía en el INEN entre 2014-2018, solo 271 tuvieron reconstrucción mamaria. De ellas 148 tuvieron datos completos y cumplieron los criterios de selección. La mediana de edad fue 45 años, 62.16% tuvieron sobrepeso/obesidad, y 35.85% tenían estadio clínico III. El 28.38% tuvieron reconstrucción inmediata autóloga, 33.11% reconstrucción inmediata usando prótesis, y 38.51% reconstrucción tardía. El 48.65% de los pacientes experimentó alguna complicación en el mes siguiente post cirugía, siendo las complicaciones más frecuentes dehiscencia de sutura (20.27%) e infección superficial (18.92%). Obesidad (RR 1.96; 1.24-3.10), y tener Técnica Inmediata (RR 1.54; 1.04-2.27) se asociaron a más complicaciones. Uso de Técnica Protésica fue protector (RR 0.59; 0.40-0.85), así como también Quimioterapia Neoadyuvante (RR 0.65; 0.42-0.99). Conclusiones: La técnica quirúrgica protésica tuvo menos probabilidades de presentar complicaciones que la autóloga. Asimismo, la cirugía inmediata presenta más probabilidades de presentar complicaciones que la diferida. Las variables como obesidad, terapia neoadyuvante y ECOG intervienen en la presentación de complicaciones.

Abstract:
Objective: The main objective of this study was to detect the presence of 14 respiratory viruses and atypical bacteria (Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae), via polymerase chain reaction in patients under 18 years old hospitalized due to community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) from Lima, Peru. Results: Atypical pathogens were detected in 40% (58/146); viral etiologies in 36% (52/146) and coinfections in 19% (27/146). The most common etiological agent was M. pneumoniae (n = 47), followed by C. pneumoniae (n = 11). The most frequent respiratory viruses detected were: respiratory syncytial virus A (n = 35), influenza virus C (n = 21) and parainfluenza virus (n = 10). Viral-bacterial and bacterium-bacterium coinfections were found in 27 cases. In our study population, atypical bacteria (40%) were detected as frequently as respiratory viruses (36%). The presence of M. pneumoniae and C. pneumoniae should not be underestimated as they can be commonly isolated in Peruvian children with CAP.

Abstract:
In 1922, the Lun On troupe arrived in Seattle from Canada. It was quickly joined by other Cantonese opera groups moving across national borders, creating a network spanning the hemisphere from Vancouver to Los Angeles, New York, Havana, Mexico City, Mexicali, and even Lima, Peru. Through detailed primary source analysis Rao describes the financial and artistic accomplishments of these troupes even as they faced stigmatism and resistance from anti-Chinese organizations and exclusionary immigration policies. The interaction between the opera troupe/performers and local community was lively, reflected by the ritual practice, the publication of anthology for amateur, the opening of new theater, fund-raising performances, etc. In addition the chapter chronicles a series of distinctive actors, actresses and playwrights, as well as their signature repertoire that became most popular during this time.

José Carlos Mariátegui was the most influential Latin American Marxist of the twentieth century. From 1914 to 1920 he worked as a journalist in Lima, Peru. Persecuted by the government, he travelled to Europe in 1920, where he studied Marxism in depth as a result of contact with socialist artists and intellectuals. In 1923 he returned to Peru persuaded of the importance of implementing socialism in the country. However, rather than following a European pattern, he developed a national variant of socialism that combined Marx’s ideas with the communal collectivism of indigenous culture.

Abstract:
What is now defined as Peru was once the center of the Inca empire, and later the center of the Spanish viceroyalty. The country has two prominent cities: Cuzco and Lima. By the early twentieth century, the citizens of Lima were looking at emulating European capitals (especially Paris) as their model for modernity and progress, while Cuzco was seen by those in Lima as mainly indigenous-inhabited and backward. On February 21, 1910, Daniel Alomía Robles gave his first lecture-recital on the music of the Incas. This marked the beginning of Alomía Robles’s career as the “Restorer of Inca Music,” as he was described by the media in and outside Peru. The case of Alomía Robles is exemplary, since he used this “scientific” approach to create and promote a music that was recognized as Inca around the continent. Simultaneously, José María Valle Riestra was being acclaimed as the first national Peruvian composer. The restaging of his opera Ollanta in 1920 gave him great success, but also showcased him as Alomía Robles’s rival. While for the Cuzqueña elite Alomía Robles represented the true Peruvian composer, the Limeña fostered the work of Valle Riestra for his mastery of European techniques. Yet these debates had ramifications in other parts of the country with different implications for the composers and their musics.

Abstract:
African-descent women played essential roles in confraternity life in colonial Latin America. At the same time, however, confraternities often imposed strictures on African-descent women by tying their place within organizational hierarchies to their legal condition, marital status, and ancestral makeup. The unfortunate, uncomfortable truth was that, no matter how hard they worked or how much they sacrificed for confraternities, there were limits to what African-descent women’s confraternal devotion could yield them. But what alternatives did they have outside of these institutions? To address this question, this chapter examines a small collection of eighteenth-century records from Lima’s national archive that feature inventories of material possessions belonging to free women of African descent. Taken together, within and across each inventory, these diverse devotional items provide an opportunity to think about Africandescent women’s extra-confraternal devotional practices in colonial Lima.

Abstract:
This essay starts as a testimony on work done across the years transferring or adapting “critical technologies” from James Joyce Studies to improve the infrastructure of José Lezama Lima Studies as a global field of scholarship. It continues as a report on what has been accomplished institutionally on this regard since 2001 in Cuba and abroad in international conferences, publications, and critical editions. It ends with an appeal for scholarly reciprocity between professional fields by reviewing what Lezama Lima and his Orígenes circle have given to—rather than taken from—Joyce and Joyce Studies through an analysis of how Joyce’s books circulated as actual gifts among Orígenes writers. The essay draws from holographs among the Jose Lezama Lima manuscripts in Havana’s National Library to analyze Oscar Rodríguez Feliú’s translation in Spanish of Ulysses’ “Proteus” episode—commissioned by Lezama Lima and published in Espuela de Plata in 1940—and a poem with Joycean references that Lezama Lima inscribed on a copy of the 1952 reprinting of J. Salas Subirat’s 1945 Spanish translation of Ulysses.

Abstract:
This section examines Claudia Llosa’s 2009 film La teta asustada in contrast with Paloma de papel (2003, Fabrizio Aguilar). While the latter promotes traditional, paternalistic, and objectifying images of rural indigenous culture, Llosa’s film, which focuses on indigenous immigrants in Lima, assumes a horizontal position with respect to indigenous communities. With over 40% of its dialogue in Quechua, La teta asustada, both through its circumstances of production and its treatment of its subject matter, is unique in that re-locates national culture and redefines the national subject, suggesting that the future of Peru lies greatly in an urban indigenous culture sustained by an inevitable heterogeneity of knowledges and practices. Furthermore, the film demands a new ethical stance on the part of the larger audience, obliging the public to take a position less of a far-away empathizer and more of solidarity.

This study describes the strategy and information technology adopted by Peru’s National Superintendent of Public Registries (SUNARP) to meet its organizational goals. SUNARP was created in 1994 to become the ruling entity of all public registry offices in Peru, which to that time had been working in an isolated fashion. The case describes the projects already completed, their respective success and their deployment across the organization’s bureaus across the nation. The Registry Information System (SIR, in Spanish) and the consequent online registry publicity service are worthy of noting. It takes account of the fact that many of these projects were originally initiated in the largest Registry Zone, the former Lima and Callao Registry Office. Moreover, the paper mentions the future challenges faced by SUNARP in its efforts to provide online registration services.

Full text
Abstract:
The conclusion ties together the themes of transitional justice, nation building, and ethnicity by briefly examining three “memory museums”: the Lugar de la Memoria in Lima, and two museums in Ayacucho. The first is a controversial effort by the state to create a national museum to commemorate the conflict. The two museums in Ayacucho are local efforts, the Museo de la Memoria in Huamanga, established by Quechua-speaking mothers of dead and disappeared persons, the Yuyana Wasi museum in the municipality of Huanta. The conclusion asks why, within the context of Peruvian transitional justice efforts, the official, state-sponsored memory space has experienced so many difficulties, its opening delayed for years, while unofficial, even rebellious, grassroots efforts have comparatively succeeded in providing spaces where Peru can confront its difficult past.

Abstract:
Burdened with debt, the national state withdrew its investment in tourism development in Cusco in the late 1970s. More ominously, the growth of the Maoist Shining Path rebellion and its attacks on travellers nearly brought the tourism economy to collapse by the end of the 1980s. Yet, this chapter also documents the grassroots innovations in Cusco’s tourism economy. As traditional tourists avoided Machu Picchu, expatriates and locals created a new adventure tourism economy based on backpacking and hiking. Using new transnational cultural and travel networks, these efforts reinvented Machu Picchu as an exotic and adventurous site. The neoliberal government of Alberto Fujimori of the 1990s employed the new imagery of Machu Picchu as it sought to attract new private investment into Peru. These efforts brought in a bonanza of new Lima-based and international investors. However, the new state policies provoked local anger who rallied against tourism development perceived as unjust and as a threat to the region’s historical heritage

Tham, Siew Yean. ASEAN Open Skies and Its Implications on Airport Development Strategy in Malaysia. Inter-American Development Bank, June 2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0011315.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper seeks to examine the implication of open skies in ASEAN on the airport development strategy in Malaysia. "Open Skies," in general, refers to the liberalization of aviation markets that can be pursued on a bilateral, regional, or multilateral basis. The findings show that although Malaysia has invested substantially in overall infrastructure development, including airports, other member countries within ASEAN, notably Singapore and Thailand, have also followed a similar investment-intensive strategy to develop their international airports into airport hubs. The dream to turn Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) into a regional hub requires Malaysia to undertake several measures to overcome the competitive pressures from neighboring hubs. This includes joining a strategic global alliance group to improve the traffic feed of the national carrier. It will also require the government to accelerate the construction of the new Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) at KLIA. The strategy to build a cargo hub at Senai should be reviewed while the promotion of tourism, especially to non-ASEAN countries has to focus on a distinctive product appeal that will enable the country to differentiate its tourism products from those of regional competitors. This paper was prepared for the Latin America/Caribbean and Asia/Pacific Economics and Business Association (LAEBA)'s 4th Annual Meeting held in Lima, Peru, on June 17th. 2008.
