De Kelsen a la informática jurídica: una entrevista con Mario G. Losano
2018
Desde que su mentor, Norberto Bobbio, le encargara la traducción de la segunda edición de la Teoría pura del derecho (1960), la carrera de Mario G. Losano ha sido tan larga como polifacética. En esta entrevista, conversamos sobre su formación y sobre el contexto cultural que envolvió el inicio de su carrera académica en Italia. Posteriormente, nos centramos en dos de los principales temas de su producción académica. Por un lado, profundizamos en sus estudios kelsenianos, destacando el enfoque histórico que caracteriza su aproximación a los problemas iusfilosóficos. Y, por otro lado, abordamos el asunto de los orígenes y el desarrollo de la informática jurídica, de la cual el profesor Losano…
Remembrance of the historian Vicent Llombart
2017
Esta evocación muestra cómo la formación inicial que recibió Vicent Llombart en el Seminario de historia del pensamiento económico en la Universidad de Valencia fue decisiva, pero no suficiente, para entender una trayectoria rotunda por sus contribuciones. Su propósito decidido, su firme exigencia personal y su apertura intelectual permanente nos ayudan a comprender mejor a un gran historiador. This remembrance shows how the initial training that Vicent Llombart received at the Seminar on the History of Economic Thought at the University of Valencia was crucial, although not the only element, to understanding a prominent academic career with so relevant contributions. His determined purpose…
An Overview on Italian Arithmetic after the Disquisitiones Arithmeticae
2007
Thedecades around 1800were not a period inwhich puremathematics in general, and number theory in particular, flourished in Italy, see [Bottazzini 1994]. It is significant in this respect that Joseph Louis Lagrange, whose birth and early studies took place in Torino, finally became a prominent representative of the Frenchmathematical school and that, decades later, Guglielmo Libri still spent most of his academic career in France. Thus, Gauss’s Disquisitiones Arithmeticae did not have an immediate resonance in Italian mathematical circles. Gianfrancesco Malfatti, a professor in Ferrara, already seventy years old at the time of the publication of theDisquisitiones Arithmeticae, was one of the…

University Transitions and Gender: From Choice of Studies to Academic Career Development
2014
Based on the results of the authors' research using a case study of a Spanish university, the sociological component of gender is an important factor in building transitions at university. When the authors refer to university transitions they are talking about two periods. Firstly, they refer to the transition of undergraduate students from upper secondary education. The authors detect differences in the choices of studies, in the identification of professional models and in the university admission process. Secondly, they refer to the transition from research grant-holders to teaching and research staff. They explore the construction of social expectations and representations that researc…
From Graz to Göttingen: Neugebauer’s Early Intellectual Journey
2016
Otto Neugebauer’s early academic career was marked by a series of transitions. His interests shifted from physics to mathematics, and finally to the history of ancient mathematics and exact sciences. Yet even from his early years in Graz, Neugebauer was strongly attracted to the mathematical culture of Gottingen. When he arrived there in 1922, he quickly established a strong personal friendship with Richard Courant, the newly appointed Director of the Mathematics Institute. Neugebauer and Courant worked together closely up until 1933, when the Nazi government decimated the Gottingen scientific community. In this essay, Neugebauer’s historical work and his vision for a new approach to the st…
