Revista complutense de educación
2014
Este artículo describe los resultados de la investigación llevada a cabo por la Universidad de León, financiada por el Ministerio de Presidencia, cuyo objetivo ha sido analizar cómo reflejan los libros de texto de Historia de España los contenidos correspondientes al período de la posguerra civil y especialmente los relacionados con la represión de la dictadura franquista y la lucha antifranquista. Se han revisado los manuales de texto, especialmente los de 2º de Bachillerato, por ser el período curricular en el que se trabaja más detenidamente la Historia contemporánea de España. Metodológicamente se ha utilizado el Análisis Crítico del Discurso para indagar sobre la extensión y completud,…
Fugitives in transit. The Spanish Republican exile through Portugal (1936-1950)
2017
Despite scant attention from historiography, Portugal played an important role as a way station on the road to exile for many Republicans during and after the Spanish Civil War. The situation in the neighbouring country was not easy for these people, as Antonio Oliveira de Salazar’s regime —officially allied with Franco’s Spain— did not recognize them as political refugees, but as illegal immigrants to be returned to Spain, which would have catastrophic consequences for many of them. Through the analysis of abundant primary sources in archives from Spain, Portugal, Mexico and the United States, we seek to understand the details of this Portuguese stage of the exile. We discover how, despite…
Mundo obrero, cultura y asociacionismo: algunas reflexiones sobre modelos y pervivencias formales
2003
In this article, the author reflects on the associative models chosen by Spanish working and popular classes since the middle of nineteenth century in order to defend their interests, especially in the case of the difussion of culture and education. It is remarkable the continuity and success of some inherited prototypes, as it happened with the «ateneos» until the years of the Spanish civil war. At the same time, workers' organizations tried to satisfy an extensive range of demands by developing multifunctional centres. Examples of these were the «Casas del Pueblo» (People's Houses) erected by the socialist movement.
Perdón, restitución y teatro musical : Antonio de Zamora y su visión poético-musical de los sublevados españoles durante la Guerra de Sucesión
2018
Resumen: Este trabajo estudia el discurso de Antonio de Zamora sobre el arrepentimiento y restitución de la lealtad hacia Felipe V dirigido a los sublevados españoles durante la Guerra de Sucesión.

 Palabras clave: zarzuela barroca, Antonio de Zamora, Guerra de Sucesión, Felipe V, bando austracista.
 
 Abstract: This work studies the speech of Antonio de Zamora about the remorse and restitution of the loyalty towards Philip V directed t…
Mind the Gap: The Big House in Cinematic Representations of the Anglo-Irish War
2018
It goes without saying that the Big House was intended to be a symbol: as more than one critic has remarked, these houses really were only “big” in comparison to the poverty of the lesser structures that surrounded them. They were to be a bastion for British and Anglo-Irish culture and a center for social and administrative interactions. In this sense, they straddled the gap between the towns of Dublin and London, whence their power came, and the villages to whom they administered: it is no coincidence that these garrisons of British power bore the brunt of Republican anger during the Troubles of 1919-1921. Examining two of the rare films to focus on the War of Independence from the perspec…

Visitas reales y lugares de la memoria: el mariscal Suchet, José I y Fernando VII en Valencia = Royal visits and places of memory: The marshal Suchet…
2020
Resumen: Desde siempre las visitas reales fueron uno de los acontecimientos festivos más significativos que se podía vivir en una ciudad. La presencia del rey en la misma significaba la alianza del pueblo con su soberano. Era un acto social, pero sobre todo político. Durante la Guerra de la Independencia estas ceremonias estuvieron cargados de una simbología que se fijó sobre todo en la propia guerra: sus héroes, sus victorias, la fe amenazada o su rey cautivo. Los valencianos también tuvieron ocasión de festejar la presencia de la autoridad real en la ciudad. José I y Fernando VII estarían en Valencia en dos momentos bien distintos. Además, la ciudad también tuvo que recibir, con honores d…
Guerra, estado y organización social de la producción. La Corona de Aragón en guerra con Castilla. 1429-1430
2020
The war that during 1429 and 1430 put face to face the Crowns of Castilla and Aragon, makes a maravellous experimental ground for investigators. Though perfectly well-documented, this fact has been paradoxically negliged because of its lack of political impact. If we follow punctually the events, it is nevertheless possible to prepare a valuable comparative analysis of the characteristics and capacities of the societies in conflict. All this is possible thanks to a better knowledge of the strategies of which public powers dispose to manage a rapid and adequat supply of armament, in a preindustrial context caracterised by the incompetence of the suppliers (craftsmen and traders) to cover, w…
The Artistic Commitment of Kenyon Cox: An American Neoclassical Artist
2016
At the end of the nineteenth century, the United States had undergone deep transformations. The second Industrial Revolution had created huge amounts of new wealth and power. This led to an alteration of the urban social fabric and to a repositioning of the country on the international scene.Since the 1870s, the American Renaissance had been a vehicle for the diffusion of new values and new concepts. As a broad neoclassical movement in the arts, it was committed to a rewriting of the country’s national past.At the time, Kenyon Cox (1856-1919) distinguished himself as one of the major artists of the movement, but also as one of its most influential critics and theorists. Cox developed theori…
The fragility of Finnish parliamentary democracy at the moment when Prussianism fell
2019
The Finnish case is in many ways illustrative of the complexities of democratisation after World War I. Finland found itself at the nexus of a Swedish constitutional tradition, legalism and ideological controversies adopted from Imperial Germany, the radicalised Russian Revolution, and Western parliamentary democracy. After having been a model for reformers demanding women’s suffrage, for instance, the country found itself in autumn 1918 going in the opposite direction to almost all other European countries. This article analyses the fragility of Finnish parliamentary democracy then, contrasting it with longer-term trends supportive of democratisation. ‘Democracy’ had been the goal for mos…
