El pasado es el destino : propaganda y cine del bando nacional en la Guerra Civil [Introducción]
2011
La guerra civil española (1936-1939) asoló nuestro país con una contienda fratricida que dejaría huellas indelebles en varias generaciones de españoles. Al tiempo, otro combate no menos intenso se libró en el terreno de las ideas, cuya máxima expresión serían la propaganda política y los medios de comunicación de masas. Todas las disyuntivas internacionales (democracia/totalitarismos, intervencionismo/solidaridad, guerra total/defensa popular, nuevos sistemas de producción de imágenes/instrumentalización política) se dieron cita en nuestro territorio creando un nuevo imaginario bélico donde la población civil cobraría un protagonismo insólito. El pasado es el destino es el fruto de la inves…
THE RELIGIOUS CULTURAL HERITAGE AT RISK OF WAR. A NECESSARY INTERNATIONAL MONITORING FOR PROTECTION
2022
Over the centuries, the religious monumental heritage has been the object of systematic destruction by the oppressors, because it is the depositary of the most deeply rooted values of the subjugated people. The history of the wars of the twentieth century and the protection of monuments during the last world conflict led the international community to reflect on a new way of understanding cultural heritage, not as an asset owned by a people, but as a legacy to be handed down to the future for its universal values. The new means available to international communities for satellite monitoring and control of war zones allow us to work faster and more consciously on this process of protection a…

Florence Nightingale as a Victorian career woman
2016
The chapter focuses on the role of Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) in turning nursing into a trained profession and a viable and respectable career option for Victorian women seeking employment outside of the home. Nightingale's accomplishments and her thoughts on women's lot in life as expressed in her essay "Cassandra", are presented against the backdrop of the ideology of separate spheres which circumscribes women within the domestic domain. The chapter discusses Nightingale's work in British military field hospitals during the Crimean War, her successful efforts to reform the ways in which such hospitals were run, and the establishment of the Nightingale School and Home for Nurses and …
First World War Diaries: Making the Private Public
2020
This article analyses several World War I Diaries written by soldiers on the Front. Starting with the circumstances of publication and their effects on the text, the article addresses the passage of these very private texts into public life, before turning to the role played by the diaries for the soldiers who write them. Studies of the diary as a genre are used to show how war diaries fit into the more general genre. Finally the article turns to the reception of these works, by studying what part literary distance may play for the soldiers keeping a diary, and by arguing that the task of making sense of these texts has been transferred to present-day readers.
Farewell to Anarchy : The Myth of International Anarchy and Birth of Anarcophilia in International Relations
2018
This article scrutinizes the conceptual history of international anarchy. The argument purported here is that even though the idea of international anarchy is often seen as very central for the academic discipline of international relations, the concept is in fact not found from the forerunners or classics of the discipline. The assumption of international anarchy is commonly seen as a defining feature of a Realist school of international relations. Yet, the concept and especially its “Realist” implications are not to be found in the classics of Realism, from Thucydides, Machiavelli or Hobbes. The idea of “international anarchy” emerges quite tentatively during the First World War, in the w…
Giuseppe Cocchiara, il fascismo e il razzismo
2021
In questo saggio viene ricostruito il rapporto tra Giuseppe Cocchiara e il fascismo. L’antropologo visse in pieno la sua formazione culturale all'interno del regime al quale aderì con convinzione e slancio, militando sempre nelle sue fazioni più radicali, condividendone fedelmente le scelte più tragiche come la guerra d’Etiopia, sottoscrivendo le leggi razziali, impegnandosi nella seconda guerra mondiale con le armi culturali dell’antisemitismo e della lotta senza tregua contro la democrazia. Così quando, come in un «mondo alla rovescia», sconfitto il fascismo sotto il peso di un’umiliante e sanguinosa disfatta, saranno proprio gli odiati inglesi a valorizzarne la statura intellettuale e la…
Religious Diaspora: A New Approach to Its Existence and Meaning
2021
The present study aims to contribute to the discussion regarding the possibility of conceptualizing a religious diaspora. It proposes a new way of defining it, namely in relation to religious and not to ethno-territorial realities, but without editing the territorial dimension out. After sketching the definition on this theoretical basis, the study refers to six case studies, pointing to the way in which the definitory traits of a religious diaspora are actualized in each situation under study. The evaluation unravels the strengths of the concept as well as certain aspects that still need to be addressed in further research. The inference is that the capacity of religion to generate diaspor…
Mariano Benlliure Gil, artífice de la recuperación del patrimonio escultórico para la Cofradía California de Cartagena
2020
After the patrimonial destruction that took place during the Civil War of 1936-1939 in the city of Cartagena, religious art and especially sacred sculpture, is greatly affected. The artistic expressions that the Passionist entities took to the streets on the days of Holy Week, disappear almost in their entirety, having to start a tremendously costly reconstruction process in order to alleviate the losses suffered. The Cofradía California commissioned the renovation of its sculptural patrimony heritage, which came to replace the wealth of the works of Salzillo, to the Valencian artist Mariano Benlliure Gil. All this process is the one studied in this article, keeping in mind the different bi…
