La expansión geográfica de la renta del tabaco
2007
El monopolio real del tabaco fue decretado sólo para la Corona de Castilla en 1636. Debido a su reconocida eficacia, los gobernantes españoles intentaron implantarlo allá donde fuese políticamente posible. Después de la guerra de Sucesión, fue establecido en la Corona de Aragón, ya que estos territorios perdieron entonces su régimen foral de autonomía. Como las provincias vascas y Navarra consiguieron conservar su régimen foral, el Gobierno español no pudo someter allí el régimen general del estanco tabaquero y tuvo que contentarse con negociar soluciones que no perjudicasen al estanco general. Finalmente, en el contexto de las reformas borbónicas en América, la Renta del Tabaco fue gradual…
Antoni de Martí i Franquès i la generació espontània: Els conflictes entre ciència i religió en el treball del naturalista
2014
Antoni de Marti i Franques, el naturalista tarragoni que va viure en la segona part del segle XVIII i primers decennis del XIX, conegut especialment pels seus notables experiments dedicats a l’estudi de la composicio de l’aire atmosferic, dedica bona part del seu treball experimental a estudiar la generacio espontania. A traves dels manuscrits de Marti i Franques que es conserven i pel testimoni dels seus contemporanis, sabem que estava convencut d’haver comprovat experimentalment l’existencia d’aquest fenomen. Pero, com que era un fervent catolic, no va voler publicar res sobre aquest tema en vida per temor de ser acusat d’heretge. Tampoc el seus descendents van publicar res de la seva obr…
Evolution of the opinion of newspapers on the Catalan conflict from 2010 to 2017
2020
Comunicació presentada al VII Congreso Internacional de la Asociación Española de Investigación de la Comunicación (AE-IC), celebrat del 28 al 30 d'octubre de 2020 a València, Espanya. Si hubiera que precisar el origen de lo que actualmente se conoce como “el Procés” de independencia de Catalunya probablemente coincidiríamos en localizarlo en julio de 2010, cuando se hizo pública la sentencia del Tribunal Constitucional en contra del Estatut. El 10 de julio de 2010 tuvo lugar en Barcelona una manifestación multitudinaria en contra de esa sentencia que significaba unos recortes importantes sobre el texto inicial que el pueblo catalán había refrendado. A partir de ese momento, la desafección …
Ara es l’hora? The Approach of the Catalan Political Scene to Independence Issues
2016
The political situation in Catalonia during the last months is changing almost daily. Catalan nationalist movements consistently continue their efforts to create an independent state. As a result, every vote – an unofficial plebiscite, local elections or elections to the Catalan parliament – is treated like a referendum on the matter of independence. The Catalan actions that are ever more faster and further-reaching meet with a growing opposition of the central government, threatening the Catalan authorities with a number of sanctions in case of taking further, concrete steps to break away from Spain. Although, from the outside, the Catalan independence parties seem to be a monolith, the si…

Occurrence of DBPs in Drinking Water of European Regions for Epidemiology Studies
2016
International audience; A three-year study was conducted on the occurrence of disinfection by-products (DBPs) - trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs), and haloacetonitriles - in drinking water of regions of Europe where epidemiology studies were being carried out. Thirteen systems in six countries (i.e., Italy, France, Greece, Lithuania, Spain, United Kingdom) were sampled. Typically chlorinated DBPs dominated. However, in most of Catalonia (Spain) and in Heraklion (Greece), brominated DBPs dominated. The degree of bromine incorporation into the DBP classes was in general similar among them. This is important, as brominated DBPs are a greater health concern. In parts of Catalonia,…
Old wine in new wineskins? Understanding the cooperative movement: Catalonia, 1860-1939
2020
Different factors have been proposed to explain why in some regions there is a greater tendency to form cooperatives. The debate remains open. In this study, we look at the spread of cooperativism within Catalonia from 1860 to 1939. Catalonia was not just the leading industrial region in Spain but also where cooperatives first emerged and had a greater presence. In line with the existing evidence, we find that cooperativism spread from coastal municipalities to the hinterland. In particular, it seems that local conditions (literacy and social capital) facilitated this process, while accessibility to the transport network and neighbouring effects also played a significant role. This work was…
Desobediencia: ¿Derecho o estrategia? A propósito de la reivindicación de la “política de desobediencia civil” en Catalunya
2018
RESUMEN: Aunque la tradicion de la desobediencia civil y, mas lejos aun, la del derecho a resistencia tiene antecedentes muy claros, hoy se ha producido un giro. El incremento del fenomeno de la indignacion y revuelta contra el sistema ha propiciado lo que algunos consideran estrategia de desobediencia e incluso politica de desobediencia. Em este articulo se discute esa hipotesis desde la experiencia que procura la experiencia vivida en los dos ultimos anos en Cataluna. ABSTRACT: We are possibly facing a turning point in the tradition of the right of resistance and even civil disobedience. From the globalization of the phenomenon of the indignados, the recourse to the strategy of disobedie…

Throughout this work the author carries out a study of the trajectory of Catalan drama from the end of the Civil War to present times.
