Leaseholders in Capitalist Arcadia: Bourgeois Hegemony and Peasant Opportunities in the Valencian Countryside during the Nineteenth Century

2006

Scholars tend to interpret the European peasantry's incorporation into mass politics at the beginning of the twentieth century in terms of two equally extreme situations, citing either the peasantry's support for traditional oligarchies, or its anti-capitalist radicalism. By contrast, this article explores how the confluence between a broad network of peasant families and leased agricultural properties in the Valencian region of Spain helped generate mass support for an anti-liberal (and eventually Francoist) legal system. The authors highlight the uniqueness of the social and productive context of Valencian agriculture during the late 1800s and early 1900s, as well as the tensions that exi…

Warfare in Livonia at the beginning of the 18th century in relations of English ambassador Philippe Plantamour from Berlin

2019

An important element in current historical research is the analysis of diplomatic relations focusing on the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth. They show the history of the Polish-Lithuanian state, its internal and foreign policy from a different historical perspective. In 1700, the Great Northern War broke out and changed the political power system in Central and Eastern Europe for the next decades. Diplomats from foreign courts were interested in this war, including Philippe Plantamour, secretary of the British embassy in Berlin. He sent his reports to the British Isles in which he posted information on warfare in Livonia. The aim of the article will be to analyze diplomatic reports that can h…

Personal Reflections on Dirk Jan Struik By Joseph W. Dauben

2018

Dirk Jan Struik, who taught for many years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and died on 21 October 2000 at the age of 106, was a distinguished mathematician and influential teacher. He was also widely known as a leading Marxist scholar and social activist. His early work on vector and tensor analysis, undertaken together with Jan Arnoldus Schouten, helped impart new mathematical techniques needed to master Einstein’s general theory of relativity. This collaboration lasted for over 20 years, but by the end of the 1930s, Struik came to realize that the heyday of the Ricci calculus had passed. After the Second World War, having now entered his 50s, he gave up mathematical research …

Navegando hacia Italia. El Reino de Cerdeña en el escenario político resultante de los tratados de Utrecht – Rastatt

2014

En 1713 finalizaba la administración de Carlos VI, ejercida desde Barcelona; por ello las disposiciones de gobierno, que habían llegado a la isla desde la capital catalana, dejaban de hacerlo. Con la institución en Viena, en 1714, del Consejo de España, los referentes territoriales y políticos del reino sardo serán sobre todo: Milán o Nápoles; con el espacio italiano ampliará sus lazos, sustituyendo aquellos que durante siglos había mantenido con los territorios ibéricos. Paralelamente Cerdeña pasaba a ser moneda de cambio en la búsqueda de un nuevo equilibrio territorial y político. La sombra imperial la mantuvo a salvo en Utrecht. Sin embargo la ruptura de ese equilibrio por parte de Feli…
