Una visión trágica
2008
Fritz Lang's American films start off as if they had no beginning, as if something had been decided on and launched inexorably, in our absence, and we were astonished witnesses to its final explosion. In medias res, the expression used in narrative theory to describe the entrance of the reader or spectator in fictions that are underway is, to all intents and purposes, insufficient and imprecise since the point here is not that actions are activated, but rather that the end is imminent. Thus, the furious pace, the climax, the intensity that the first Langian scenes often have. As if we were at the same time expelled from comprehending and plunged into the maelstrom of events. The content of …

Eclecticismo, Écart y alteridad: Symphony V American, de Leonardo Balada, como paradigma compositivo
2021
Eclecticism is a complex creative trend born as a consequence of both postmodernism and the heterodox treatment of cultural identity borders. This aesthetic path emerges as a compositional model of great communicative power in contemporary creation in the last two decades. Our essay addresses the Symphony V "American" (2003) by Leonardo Balada (1933) as a compositional paradigm. Through this article we demonstrate the importance of including popular sounds and re-signifying materials in the creative conception. A valid model of communication ahead of the challenges of globalization and mass media processes is therefore established hereby.
¿Qué historia enseñar?
2005
Un grupo de estudiantes norteamericanos de ciencia política, que se han sumado al movimiento iniciado por los estudiantes de economía que piden una enseñanza más cercana a la realidad, lo ha dicho con una frase que me parece un principio enteramente válido para los historiadores: “Es el problema el que dicta el método; no el método el problema”. Lo que es inadmisible es que la adopción de una escuela y de una metodología nos lleve a analizar los problemas con ópticas sectoriales que sólo pueden darnos una visión sesgada de una realidad demasiado compleja para reducirla a una perspectiva unilateral. Con esta retirada a la que me he referido, los historiadores nos hemos alejado de los problem…
Política energética y desarrollo rural sostenible. Casos de estudio en Ecuador = Energy policy and sustainable tutal development. Case studies in Ecu…
2023
En Ecuador, en el marco de la Constitución del 2008 y de los Planes Nacionales para el Buen Vivir, el gobierno planteó dos estrategias fundamentales acordes a la política energética sostenible a nivel global. Por una parte, el cambio de la matriz energética a través de una mayor participación de las energías renovables. Y, por otra parte, la expansión de las redes eléctricas en las zonas rurales. En ambos casos, las empresas eléctricas pusieron en marcha acciones y planes para el desarrollo de los territorios rurales donde se asentaban las inversiones en infraestructura eléctrica. Surge entonces la necesidad de estudiar los efectos de estas políticas en el desarrollo de esos territorios a p…
Científicos, vulgarizadores y periodistas: estudio y análisis de la divulgación de la ciencia en La Ilustración Española y Americana (1869-1898)
2013
A partir del estudio de caso de La Ilustración Española y Americana, una revista ilustrada de carácter general, se aportan datos sobre la difusión de la ciencia entre 1869 y 1898 a través de la prensa periódica y los nuevos foros de socialización que surgieron al calor del desarrollo urbano, y su contribución a crear un clima favorable para el resurgimiento de la investigación científica española en el siglo XX. Este trabajo constituye el análisis de la divulgación científica de la revista en cuanto a contenidos de los artículos sobre ciencia y medicina y sus colaboradores. Se han estudiado las figuras del astrónomo y geólogo José Joaquín Landerer y al astrónomo y meteorólogo Augusto Arcimi…
Attention to diversity in Madrilenian classrooms. Teachers’ opinions
2022
City marathons have evolved and grown exponentially in type and popularity, in their managerial complexity, and in terms of their financial impact on their host cities and the attraction of corporate sponsors. Most of the research on city marathons has focused on evaluating their broad economic, urban, tourist, social, sporting, and symbolic effects on host cities. However, less attention has been paid to analyzing key strategic decisions that could account for the evolution and growth of specific marathons and their influences on their management and success. This article, which addresses the cases of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon and the Marathon Valencia Trinidad Alfonso, examines…

Remarks on the environmental adaptation of man.
1971
In this paper the geographical variability of some morphological, physiological and serological traits of man is discussed with respect to the question, how far this variability can be considered as the result of selective adaptation processes. Though there is already some evidence supporting such an assumption, much more detailed and exactly planned research is necessary to clear the indubitable relations between the distribution patterns of anthropological traits and the various environmental conditions of human biotops. Particularly much more work is required to understand the causative mechanisms on which these relations are based.

2007
Masteroppgave i engelsk- Universitetet i Agder 2007 This thesis commences with a description of Pre-Roman and Roman Britain, to identify the people who lived in Northumbria and their background. The description then progresses with an explanation about the withdrawal of the Romans, and the state of affairs they left behind, giving also a reason for the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons. Once this is established, the scene which the Anglo-Saxons meet on their arrival is depicted, and their subsequent settlement recounted. The Anglo-Saxons were a warlike people, so their belligerent activities suppressing the Celts, and the campaigning between themselves and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms for supremacy, …
