Inside-Out Numero 2

Revista digital 2024, Segunda Edición. Raíces.

Carta a los lectores Queridos lectores, Es un placer darles la bienvenida a la segunda edición de Inside-Out, Bayard School. En esta ocasión, hemos decidi-

do centrarnos en un tema que consideramos fundamental para cualquier comunidad: la identidad y las raíces.

un naturalista y escritor argentino que aunque inspiró a Hemingway o al mismísimo Borges, ha caído en el olvido de nuestras raíces literarias. Sumado a esto, ¿hay algo más argentino que el mate? Para hablar de este ícono nacional, en el segmento en francés, encontrarán una lección para preparar buenos mates.

La identidad es lo que nos define, lo que nos hace únicos y especiales.

Nuestras raíces, por otro lado, nos conectan con nuestra historia, nuestra cultura y nuestras tradiciones. En esta edición, exploraremos cómo estos dos conceptos se entrelazan y nos ayudan a comprender quiénes somos, de dónde

venimos y hacia dónde queremos ir.

Nuestros colaboradores han trabajado arduamente para ofrecerles una variedad de artículos, ensayos y reseñas que abordan la identidad y las raíces desde diferentes perspectivas. En este número podrán leer desde un cómic que aborda algo tan identitario como son nuestros genes , hasta historias de Revista digital 2024, Segunda Edición. Raíces.

El segmento en español, nos hablará sobre la importancia de recordar el pasado para no volver a cometer los mismos errores. Y por último, las secciones de escritura creativa nos demostrarán una vez más lo importante que es el arte como herramienta de la memoria individual y colectiva.

Agradecemos a todos los estudiantes, y profesores que han contribuido a hacer posible esta edición. Su dedicación y

creatividad son lo que hace que nuestra revista sea un reflejo auténtico del profesionalismo de sus docentes, quienes constantemente impulsan a sus alum-

nos a tomar desafíos y a superarse a sí mismos.

Este compromiso con la excelencia educativa es lo que nos permite producir contenidos de alta calidad y relevancia.

Anhelamos que disfruten de esta edición y que los inspire a valorar y celebrar sus propias identidades y raíces.

¡Feliz lectura!

“La Segunda Guerra Mundial y

el Holocausto” El día 21 de mayo hicimos una visita guiada al Museo del Holocausto para complementar el material sobre la Segunda Guerra mundial y el Holocausto que veníamos estudiando en la materia Historia.

La Segunda Guerra Mundial se desata tras la ruptura del pacto de paz que Hitler había firmado con la URSS una vez que invade Polonia.

Para ese entonces, el movimiento antisemita estaba profundamente instalado en Alemania, alentado por el Estado nazi que desde 1933 había im-

plementado leyes contrarias a la comunidad judía e iniciado su persecución. En 1941, la guerra alcanza su máxima expansión: desde Francia hasta las puertas de la Unión Soviética, conquistando así la mayor parte

de Europa y esparciendo el antisemitismo y las políticas de persecución racial iniciadas una década antes.

En países como Polonia, el ejército alemán trasladaba a los judíos hacia guetos, barrios amurallados construidos por los mismos judíos con el fin de lograr un aislamiento espacial. A lo largo de la Europa conquistada por los alemanes, se crearon campos de concentración y trabajo y miles de judíos fueron llevados allí. Al cabo

del tiempo y especialmente tras la implementación de la “Solución final a la cuestión judía” se llevó a cabo una política de exterminio total de dicha población.Se estima que seis millones de judíos europeos fueron asesinados entre 1939 y 1945.

Más allá del fallecimiento de Hitler y el fin del régimen nazi, el nazismo no murió con él. La historia y el presente de interconectan constantemente y lo que pasó en el Holocausto no es una excepción, este suceso todavía impacta en nuestro día y en las cuestiones asociadas con la identidad en la actualidad.

The idea The ecological reserve was founded when Fernando Pozo, a fan of Hudson’s novels, discovered its existence and decided not to let it come upon the hands of the anthropic effect.

He protected the reserve and didn't let its space be used in the construction of city buildings. The initial idea was to turn it into a natural bird reserve, since it had the presence of vast species of birds, which were animals Hudson was really acquainted with. Hudson

a variety of butterflies can also be found, including the quarter eyes, monarch, ‘lecheras’, and the “Argentine flag”, with impressive size and vibrant colors. However, the reserve's history is marked by European prejudice, which resulted in the decline of butterflies due to the cutting down of native trees to be replaced by European species. Fortunately, the reserve lives on through the shared knowledge of Fukuoka, who discovered methods to nourish the soil naturally.

prevailing views of his time. While otThe point of view of a romantic The whole field trip was a trip to the past, in order to embrace a new point of view. Hudson was a visionary, he had ecological consciousness in a time in which people only saw nature as a place to be explored, he saw its beauty and doom. While talking to the guide our seniors understood that Hudson was a romantic. Despite his most utter love for the plain flat horizons of the Pampas region and its distinctive and majestic biodiversity, he left it and never looked back. Hudon knew that his paradise would be destroyed by human presence and couldn't bear coming back and seeing it changed. He chose to stay with the memory of what

it once was and he lived by that dilemma in every place he visited. Hudson would never visit the same place twice.

Final thoughts

hers saw nature merely as a resource to exploit for economic gain, Hudson viewed it as sacred and worthy of preservation. His famous work, Green Mansions exemplifies this ethos, telling the tale of a man's awakening to

nature's wonders through encounters with an indigenous girl named Rima.

Rima, depicted as a protector of the jungle, symbolizes Hudson's belief in the need to safeguard the environment from human encroachment. Hudson's

concerns about humanity's negative impact on nature resonate strongly today, as evidenced by the decline of butterfly populations due to deforestation in the reserve. Despite facing European prejudice, Hudson's ecological consciousness shines through in his works, inspiring readers to reevaluate their relationship with the natural world.

With them, we imitated lots of sounds like drums, children screaming, and even nuts falling to the ground.

Finally, we recorded an audio of the story and we mixed that with all the sounds we had created using the items we brought and the materials provided by the school.

In conclusion, we found the activity very entertaining because not only did we read an amazing and different new story, but we also had lots of fun while creating sounds with everything around us.
