The conversion of the atom : nuclear science and ideology in Francoist Spain
2016
At the beginning of the atomic age, Francoist Spain launched an expensive project to develop, research and use nuclear energy. Scientists, the military and high-ranking officials in the administration mobilised to materialise a technoscientific dream with an international scope. The modernity of nuclear science contrasts with the reactionary ideology of the regime, but the paradox is only apparent because until now there has not necessarily been any historical relationship between science and democracy. The drive towards nuclear technoscience reveals the mutual construction of science and politics during the Cold War era and the different ways to appropriate and exploit the atom during the …
Totalitarismo y dictadura: Arendt para leer la historia reciente de Chile
2017
***Totalitarianism and dictatorship: Arendt to read chilean’s recent history***This article seeks to expose and discuss the pertinence or inpertinence of two key concepts in the thinking of Hannah Arendt, to describe and understand fundamental processes of Chile's recent history: In one hand, 'totalitarianism' as a regime founded on Terror to refer to the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet that took place between 1973 and 1989. In other hand 'labor society' as a form of post-totalitarian society, oriented to labor and consumption, to describe one of the central aspects of the neoliberal society that the Chilean dictatorship installs. Este artículo busca exponer y discutir la pertinencia o la …

“Nos inventamos un mundo que no existía”. Una profesión de riesgo.
2019
Since the end of Franco's dictatorship, editorial censorship has been an object of interdisciplinary study that has been incorporating, to the initial analysis of the constitution and nature of censorship, the study of a variety of case studies that are resizing the phenomenon. On the one hand, in the context of memory studies, it is necessary to analyze what effects censorship had on the configuration of cultural memory. On the other hand, censorship has a considerable effect on publishing strategies, both in itself and because it fosters self-censorship and countercensorship. In particular, this article explores the work of women publishers who, in the Barcelona of the 1960s and 1970s, op…

Expected Behavior and Strategic Sophistication in the Dictator Game
2012
This paper provides novel results for the extensive literature on dictator games: recipients do not expect dictators to behave selfishly, but instead expect the equal split division. The predictions made by dictators are notably different: 45% predicted the zero contribution and 40% the equal split. These results suggest that dictators and recipients are heterogenous with regard to their degree of strategic sophistication and identify the dictator's decision power in a very different manner.
Una poética de las ruinas. Testimonio y alegoría de Aníbal Quijada
2009
El texto de Aníbal Quijada Cerco de púas ejemplifica la doble vinculación de los testimonios del exilio chileno. Por una parte, éstos debieron inscribirse en las estrategias internacionales de denuncia contra la dictadura militar y, por otra, la comunidad cultural latinoamericana hizo de los testimonios un elemento esencial para la redefinición del concepto mismo de lo literario. El testimonio de Quijada desarrolla, en ese contexto, unas estrategias narrativas y de representación que alejan su textura de la mayoría de los testimonios de la época.The text of Aníbal Quijada Cerco de púas, is a good example of the double filiation of the testimonies of Chilean exile. In one hand these testimon…
