"Are there too many fags, trannies, sissies, indians and niggers?" a study on dissident sexuality in the politics of the province of Jujuy.

"Gender in the implementation of energetical ecotechnologies"

"Cyber and hack-tivisms. Subjectivities, trajectories and knowings in cyber-resistance"

"Communitarian theatrical practices and memory" (Note: the word "memory" has a special connotation in Argentinian politics. It is about remembering the "victims" of the last dictatorship, which were nothing more than terrorists. They are now in the government and have indoctrinated people into thinking they were just peaceful idealists who were brutally repressed by a dictatorship which served the interests of US imperialism, the oligarchy, etc. In this case they were probably talking about remembering the roots of the rural communities, but I think there was some intentionality)

"Social representation in children's cinema: Nationality, race, culture and class in "The Lion King".

Here's what these people wrote as a summary of their work (I didn't translate this, it was already in English because this research is of international relevance)
We present results of a research project which has as one of its main objectives to analyze social representations in children's films. In this paper we analyze one of the most successful parts of the Disney Company, The Lion King. We note that even though the characters in these productions are animals, aspects such as nationality, race and class are represented in particular ways, contributing to the transmission of stereotypes to an audience of young children. The characters reproduce social structures and relationships, and from the protagonist-antagonist opposition groups represented are charged with positive or negative evaluations, exposing their young receivers to a particular worldview
I've read that among the candidates for a subsidy was a study: "How to make public expenditure more efficient".
