La amistad y el amor en el epistolario de Séneca
2008
Joaquin.Beltran@uv.es El motivo por el que nos hemos decidido a estudiar en un mismo trabajo la amistad y el amor no es otro que histórico, por la conocida ambigüedad en la que se movían los primitivos filósofos griegos y, además, para llegar a saber la posición concreta de Séneca. Ello nos ha llevado a intentar codificar su pensamiento sobre la amistad y el amor en relación, sobre todo, con Aristóteles y Cicerón. Así, hemos intentado demostrar que Séneca ha unido a los conceptos de amistad e incluso amor otras ideas nuevas, que le dan un aire diferente, como la de solidaridad, asociación o sociedad, y que nos inducen a pensar en una definición afirmativa y muy positiva de la amistad frente…
Identità, valore, prezzo: nuove proposte di analisi e comparazione sul mercato degli schiavi a Napoli in età moderna
2017
International audience; This article aims at studying the formation process of personal identities of men forced to work at the oar in Naples at the end of the 16th century in comparison with the Kingdom of Valencia at the beginning of the 17th. At that time, Naples and Valencia were two of the most important slave markets as well as trading cities of the Spanish Empire. The research will take into account two types of sources that have remained largely unexplored by historiography to date, and especially a book dating back to 1585 detailing the biographies of 657 slaves. This will make it possible to focus in depth on slaves identities and in particular on the estimation process regarding …
Schiavitù mediterranea. Corsari, rinnegati e santi di età moderna
2009
Durante l'età moderna l'area mediterranea è segnata dalla guerra da corsa e dalla pirateria, su cui prosperano intere città, cristiane e musulmane. Quanti cadono in mano corsara, ridotti in schiavitù, attendono di essere riscattati o scambiati e, in cattività danno origine a una intricata storia di abiure e conversioni -dall'islam al cristianesimo e viceversa. Il libro, basato su ricche e talvolta inesplorate fonti documentarie,mostra il forte coinvolgimento delle istituzioni laiche ed ecclesiastiche in questa nuova dimensione della contesa politica internazionale. L'efficacia nella evangelizzazione dei captivi e degli schiavi ha come risultato eclatante la canonizzazione di santi neri (com…
Schiavi, poveri e benefattori nell’Anatolia tardoantica: la visione socio-economica delle comunità enkratite attraverso gli atti apocrifi degli apost…
2015
Different sources (epigrahical, literary, apocryphal) can be used to analyse the Christian heretical sects connected to an enkratite movement (Enkratites, Apotactites, Sakkophoroi, Hydroparastatai, Aerians), which was characterised by radical forms of self-restraint (enkrateia). Epigraphical documents are helpful in setting these communities in the rural background of late antique Anatolia (4th-5th cent. AD). On the other side the apocryphal acts of the apostles – specially the so called Acta Petri from the Codex Vercellensis and the Acta Philippi – offer important hints on social and economic ideas developed by Enkratites, in particular concerning the most debated issues of evangelic pover…
Agency or impotence: Sicilian women in the context of captivity.
In this position paper I will put forward a small array of case studies in order to better understand the role of sicilian women in captivity related situations during the XVII-XVIIIXIX centuries, specifically how much gender influenced the practices of mediation, ransom and redemption of slaves. Those case studies constitutes part of my research work, and my aim is to test the conclusions of this paper by further archival research. I will highlight the role of sicilian women not only as captives but also in the mediation for the rescue of their relatives and in the funding of the redeeming missions. Of course, women in those centuries were generally subjugated to the will of their fathers,…
Los crímenes sexuales en la jurisprudencia internacional
2012
La jurisprudencia de los Tribunales internacionales para la antigua Yugoslavia y para Ruanda determinó que por primera vez el Estatuto de la Corte Penal Internacional tipificase con carácter autónomo diversos crímenes internacionales de naturaleza sexual. En la actualidad, cuatro tribunales internacionales ya se han pronunciado sobre los elementos constitutivos de tres de estos crímenes sexuales, en concreto, la violación, la esclavitud sexual y la violencia sexual. Al estudio de esta jurisprudencia se dedica este trabajo. ABSTRACT: The jurisprudence of the International Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda determined that, for the first time, the Statute of the International Crim…
Una teoría de la justicia: Nietzsche contra la dignidad humana como fundamento de la comunidad política
2011
La moderna sociedad burguesa contiene para Nietzsche elementos que amenazan con provocar una reordenación total de la política y la sociedad en sentido igualitario. Con el objetivo de contribuir a frustrar el desarrollo de la cultura alemana en esa dirección -y basándose en su reconstrucción personal de la metafísica de Schopenhauer- expone la necesidad de someter políticamente a la mayoría de los seres humanos en favor de unos pocos liberados de la lucha por la existencia, así como de configurar el Estado de manera militarista. El fin de esta utopía consiste en llegar a hacer posible, entre algunos escogidos, una forma de vida en la cual no impere ya la racionalidad instrumental. ABSTRACT.…
Les débats devant la commission d'esclavage
2010
On March 4, 1848, thanks to the decisive impetus given by Victor Schoelcher, the principle of the abolition of slavery was proclaimed by decree and a « Commission for the preparation of an act of immediate emancipation in all the colonies of the Republic » was established. Like the commission de Broglie under the July Monarchy, the commission, chaired by Schoelcher, provided a huge work of documentation, information and reflection on the settlements, studying also the organization of the English colonies. However, unlike the previous one, the commission of 1848 required the immediate abolition of slavery (Decree of April 27, 1848), without waiting for the election of the National Assembly, …
A Finnish socialist female parliamentarian stopped on the Dutch border
2020
A Finnish socialist female parliamentarian stopped on the Dutch border: the (de) politicization of Finnish women’s suffrage in Dutch battles on votes for women This research article in transnational history analyses an incident during which Hilja Pärssinen, a Finnish socialist woman MP, was stopped on the Dutch border in September 1913 on her way to visit a suffragette college in London. This two-hour event at the border and public controversy that followed were clashes between competing ideological and gendered discourses on women’s political agency. The incident was a nexus of intersecting discourses on a range of issues: Dutch and international debates on women’s suffrage, discourse on ‘…
L'abbé Grégoire, son legs : six concours pour la liberté et l'égalité
2000
Gregoire's last will and testament called for the organization of six awards to be granted on the basis of written competitions on subjects that included reflections upon despotism, slavery, liberties, and equality, the themes of the struggles that had engaged Gregoire. Although the quality of the essays that resulted were not up to the level that the abbot had no doubt hoped for, the competition relative to the means of fighting the prejudice of color was the occasion to open a large debate and to launch the French abolitionist movement.
