“…-La abeja: Se trata de una de las representaciones que cuenta con una trayectoria mitológica e iconográfica más amplia desde la prehistoria, con un destacado papel en el mundo grecorromano (Fernández Uriel, 2011). La simbología de la abeja, y concretamente de la abeja reina, se vinculaba con valores trascendentales de la vida del hombre antiguo: el orden, la laboriosidad y la fecundidad, también se admiró como un ejemplo de convivencia y por la perfecta organización del trabajo.…”

Un análisis de los motivos decorativos de la arquitectura modernista de Cartagena y La Unión, nos muestran en un destacado lugar, aunque no frecuentemente, una serie de representaciones vinculadas con la mitología grecorromana, ya sean divinidades como Mercurio y Minerva con su iconografía clásica completa, héroes como Hércules, la cabeza de Medusa, cornucopias de la abundancia, etc., siendo notoria la presencia de elementos arquitectónicos clásicos de todos los órdenes. Estas imágenes, lejos de ser puramente decorativas, trasmiten un profundo simbolismo relacionado con los principios que caracterizan a la alta burguesía cartagenera del período de la Restauración, entre el último tercio del siglo XIX y primeros decenios del siglo XX, donde la actividad comercial tiene un destacado papel, paralelo al crecimiento de la actividad minera y metalúrgica, así como al desarrollo de los trabajos artesanales y las artes. En definitiva, una simbología ocultarelacionada con la masonería, que permite una aproximación a las características de los arquitectos y de la élite económica y cultural de la Cartagena que generó con su mecenazgo el desarrollo del eclecticismo y modernismo Palabras clave: Mitología grecorromana, decoración, arquitectura modernista, Cartagena, masonería An analysis of the modernist decorative motifsin the architecture of Cartagena and La Unión, show us in a prominent place, although not often, a series of representations related to Greco-Roman mythology, whether they are deities such as Mercury and Minerva with its full classical iconography, heroes such as Hercules, the head of Medusa, cornucopias of abundance, etc. being notorious the presence of very different classical architectural elements.These images, far from being purely decorative, convey a deep symbolism related to the principles that characterize the high bourgeois society of Cartagena in the period of the Restauración,fromthe last third of the 19th century and first decades of the 20th century, where business has a prominent role, parallel to the growth of the mining and metallurgical activity, as well as to the development of the crafts and arts. In short, a hidden symbolism related to masonry, which allows an approach to the characteristics of the architects and the economic and cultural elite of Cartagena with its patronage generated development eclecticism and modernism

The production of honey for consumption is one of humans’ most intriguing activities in biocultural terms. Studies on Local Ecological Knowledge linked to Apiculture with Apis mellifera (LEKHA) are limited, particularly in Santiago del Estero (northern Argentina). In this work, we compared the LEKHA of beekeeping families in two different landscapes that show distinct socio-ecological characteristics: “rainfed” and “irrigation.” Through semi-structured and free interviews and the construction of local calendars, together with 85% of the beekeepers of these zones, we investigated the LEKHA, honeybee flora and methods of acquisition and transmission of management knowledge and practices. Participants mentioned 96 honeybee flora species (63 in rainfed and 71 in irrigation), mainly native species, which provide with nectar and pollen. The apicultural and floral calendar was similar in these two areas, although the areas differed in the time of year certain activities were carried out and the richness and abundance of plant strata. This similarity could be related mainly to the strong cultural attachment of inhabitants to some elements of their native “Monte” landscape which, despite having undergone some anthropic modifications, remains functional for beekeeping. The LEKHA in both areas was learned idiosyncratically and by oblique transmission. We show how an activity related to the environment recreates and stimulates environmental knowledge, such that flowers, honeybees, and people form a bond of mutual care.
