Spanish People on the Silver Screen: Nation and Region in the Cinema of the Second Republic
2013
The article reflects on the presence and scope of the discourses of Spanish nationalism in the mass culture through the study of Spanish cinema produced during the years of the Second Republic. From a theoretical perspective based on the latest theoretical developments on nationalism, and particularly those concerning the role of culture, the article seeks to place the cinema in the heart of the study of Spanish nation-building process in the first decades of the twentieth century. The analytical axis will be the examination of the filmic construction of the regional imaginaries as a representation of Spain. After some general considerations concerning the presence of regional and national …

Balconi, veli e schermi. Come il panorama contemporaneo affonda il paesaggio antico
2021
The article puts in a sequence the ideas of wall, picture, frame, window, veil, screen and balcony in order to describe the process of "close range" spectacularisation whereby the gaze gives up the ancient landscape because it loves too much the modernity of "panorama".
Syntheticising Scandinavia: The Introduction of Synthetic Pesticides to Scandinavian Gardens, 1945-1952
2020
Abstract This study examines the introduction of prescriptive pesticide technologies into Scandinavian family gardens. It analyses pesticide propaganda and plant protection experts’ advice and instructions on the use of pesticides directed at amateur, home gardeners in Norway, Sweden and Denmark in the years between 1945 and 1952, the period when the new generation of synthetic pesticides was introduced in Scandinavia, and eagerly advocated by the leading experts of plant protection science. The sources investigated are gardening magazines and their special issues on garden instruction and the use of chemicals through the seasons, edited, published and distributed to a wide readership by na…
L'histoire des politiques culturelles des villes
1997
The history of cities' cultural policies, Philippe Poivrier. At the crossroads of the renewal of political history and cultural history, a new research area has been open to historians after a heavy occupation of the land by sociologists and political scientists. The article goes into the methodological stakes that accompany the examination of this public treatment of culture. A new approach of the social stakes of our societies could take effect, by giving to contemporary history a goal that has not been very much in evidence until now: the well-argued study of locality.
The contribution of archaeological plant remains in tracing the cultural history of Mediterranean trees: The example of the Roman harbour ofNeapolis
2015
In this paper, we present a detailed record of the plant remains recovered on the palaeo-seafloors of Neapolis harbour, spanning ≈700 years, between the 2nd century BC and the 5th century AD, thus intersecting the entire Roman Imperial Age. The site preserved many cultivated or cultivable plant remains, especially from food related trees. This particular feature provided the opportunity to reconstruct the puzzling history of planting them and the Roman economy, especially with respect to food production, the market and to dietary habits. The evidence suggests that Prunus persica, Castanea sativa, Juglans regia and Pinus pinea were locally grown all along the investigated period, testifying …
Arsenical Pesticides in Early Francoist Spain: Fascism, Autarky, Agricultural Engineers and the Invisibility of Toxic Risks
2019
Abstract Lead arsenate was introduced on a massive scale in agriculture in Spain in the early 1940s. With the support of a network of agricultural engineers, the new Francoist state encouraged the production and use of lead arsenate as the main weapon against a newly arrived pest, the Colorado potato beetle. In this paper I discuss arsenical pesticides as sociotechnological products which played a pivotal role in the joint production of both chemical-based agriculture and the emerging Francoist regime in Spain during the 1940s. I review the campaigns organized by agriculture engineers and the making of the new National Register for Phytosanitary Products in 1942. The new regulations promote…
Detrás de las palabras: usos políticos del concepto de imparcialidad y su función en la construcción de la historia de América en la Ilustración espa…
2018
En tiempos de renovado debate sobre el presentismo y la objetividad de los historiadores, pretendo indagar en los usos ideológicos y las funciones políticas que desempeñó el concepto de imparcialidad en la Ilustración española, su relación con la escritura de la historia y, más particularmente, con la conquista de América. A partir de diversos textos impresos de finales del s. XVIII e inicios del s. XIX —apologías, elogios, diccionarios y otros textos literarios— y adoptando una metodología que aúna la historia cultural y de los conceptos, me detendré en cómo las élites culturales dieciochescas atribuyeron al concepto un significado positivo y necesario para construir los discursos sobre lo…
