Los maestros del colegio del arte mayor de la seda de Valencia en una fase de crecimiento manufacturero (1686-1755)

2014

El presente trabajo se basa en el estudio de los 2.077 nuevos maestros que ingresaron en el colegio del arte mayor de la seda de Valencia entre 1686 y 1755, y revela la complejidad de la evolución que experimentó la corporación. El repliegue en favor del propio colectivo artesanal que se produjo en el reclutamiento de sus miembros como respuesta a las dificultades del siglo XVII no tuvo un carácter definitivo, ya que el crecimiento manufacturero de finales de la centuria favoreció el ingreso de candidatos de una procedencia más diversa. Fue el incremento de la presión fiscal y la influencia de la política mercantilista que impulsó la monarquía tras la finalización de la guerra de Sucesión l…

Hollywood y la Guerra Civil española: análisis de sus tres únicas cintas de ficción coetáneas (1937-1938) = Hollywood and the Spanish Civil War: anal…

2017

<p>El presente artículo propone un análisis comparativo de las tres únicas películas realizadas por Hollywood sobre la Guerra Civil española mientras esta se desarrollaba: <em>The Last Train From Madrid</em> (James Hogan, 1937), <em>Love Under Fire</em> (George Marshall, 1937) y <em>Blockade</em> (William Dieterle, 1938). A la postre, se demostrará que, en contra de lo afirmado por buena parte de la historiografía, las tres –y no únicamente <em>Blockade</em>– efectúan una denuncia de la intervención de las potencias del Eje en la Guerra Civil española.</p><p>The purpose of this article is to provide a comparative analysis of …

La primera aproximación de Hollywood a la Guerra Civil española: <em>The Last Train From Madrid (1937)</em> / First Approach of Hollywood…

2017

La Guerra Civil española fue un tema prohibido de forma tácita en el Hollywood regulado por la autocensura de la Oficina Hays y la PCA. Como consecuencia, las productoras cinematográficas norteamericanas sólo realizaron tres films sobre la contienda mientras se desarrolló (1936-1939). Este artículo analiza el contenido histórico y discurso ideológico de The Last Train From Madrid (James Hogan, 1937), la primera aproximación de Hollywood a la guerra de España. Se trata de un film menor, apenas estudiado, que sigue sin estar editado comercialmente. Sin embargo, posee gran relevancia en lo que atañe a la visión inaugural que se ofreció al público estadounidense sobre la beligerancia española e…

Civil Society, Corruption and Ethnic Relations

2015

In 2007 the Estonian government began to relocate a highly contentious Soviet era war memorial from the centre of Tallinn to a nearby military cemetery. The ‘Bronze Soldier’ was erected in 1947 to honour the memory of the fallen Soviet soldiers who had fought in the battles that liberated Tallinn from German forces during the Second World War. At that time it was known as the ‘Monument to the Liberators of Tallinn’. An eternal flame was added in 1964. Following independence, Estonian authorities rededicated it to all soldiers who had died during the war and dismantled the eternal flame in an attempt to depoliticise the memorial. For ethnic Estonians, however, it remained an acrimonious symb…

The Society 4.0, Internet, Tourism and the War on Terror

2019

The 9/11 marked the end of an epoch, or so it is claimed by many voices. Scholars and colleagues of all stripes agree that the attacks on the World Trade Center changed international relations and geopolitics as never before. In this context, this chapter interrogates the ramifications of terrorism, its connection with media society and with Society 4.0. As Slavoj Žižek puts it, 9/11 was not only a founding event, but it also woke the Occident from its slumber. In view of this, terrorism paradoxically not only uses the media and digital technologies to instil its message in society, but alerts us to the risks posed by virtuality. This chapter, henceforth, continues Žižek’s reflections unvei…

The British Press Responds to the Liberation of the Concentration Camps

2011

Following the liberation of Western concentration camps, especially Buchenwald (11 April) and Bergen-Belsen (15 April), newspapers in Europe reported a story of cruelty that seemed to surpass every other atrocity story they had told before. This chapter will examine how the liberation news was published in the mainstream British papers. It is now well known that the liberation of the camps hardly helped the British public to comprehend the true nature of the Nazi genocide.1 However, what concerns us here is to go beyond the argument according to which the dominant liberal discourse in Britain was principally responsible for influencing British understanding of the Holocaust. Instead, this c…

The unspeakable through the works of some contemporary Spanish composers

2016

The concept of unspeakable, as complex as it may be, can base itself on an experience of the sensitive, and find a common context in the events exceeding the limit and pointing a certain chaos. Those of the Spanish Civil War have constituted, by numerous aspects, examples of these unthinkable excesses. The impact of the environment on the creators has been heard in the thematic traces which are imperative in the works composed on the themes of death, violence or war: from the sound phenomena, some figures making sensitive the exceeding of the limit and chaotic connotation have been highlighted and echo what is beyond belief, as the destruction of man or the inaudibility of death. These figu…

<em>La destruición de Numancia</em> de Miguel de Cervantes según Rafael Alberti y Federico García Lorca: dos propuestas teatrales alterna…

2017

Las lecturas que hicieron algunos escritores de la generación del 27 sobre nuestros clásicos han tenido una amplia gama de interpretaciones al respecto. El caso es que Miguel de Cervantes fue uno de esos autores retomados en los albores de la Guerra Civil española y una obra suya, La destruición de Numancia, pronto fue considerada como uno de los referentes ideológicos de los dos bandos. Este trabajo vendrá a poner el acento en un debate concreto: ahondar en el modo en el que dos escritores tan próximos como Alberti y García Lorca, asimilaron, de manera tan distinta, ese legado cervantino, uno llevando hasta su máxima politización la tragedia clásica con su puesta en escena en Madrid; y el …
