THE INFLUENCE OF CONTRARIANS AND OPPORTUNISTS ON THE STABILITY OF A DEMOCRACY IN THE SZNAJD MODEL
2004
Sznajd-Weron and Sznajd introduced a model investigating the democratic development in a closed community. This model is based on the USDF-principle ("united we stand, divided we fall"). However, it faces the problem that the system tends either to a dictatorship (i.e., 100% pro or 100% contra) or to a stalemate state (i.e., exactly 50% pro, 50% contra). Based on their model, I will show that a democratic system keeps alive due to the existence of both opportunists and persons in opposition.
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.

Testimony, updating and storytelling: the historical memory of Spanish Civil War in contemporary Catalan literature

El tema de la Guerra Civil i la dictadura franquista ha generat a l’Estat espanyol des de mitjans dels noranta ençà una quantitat ingent de novel·les, articles periodístics, investigació històrica i producció audiovisual que palesa la vigència problemàtica del tema.

La nostra aproximació pretén estudiar aquesta vasta i diversa producció, mirant d’esbrinar les motivacions i els plantejaments narratius que regeixen aquestes propostes. Hi hem d…

“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…

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…
Surveillance and student dissent: the case of the Franco dictatorship.
2014
The rising of a powerful democratic student movement in Spain in the sixties represented a substantial stimulus to the repressive modernization of the Franco dictatorship. New containment strategies were adopted in the context of the counter-subversion and intelligence policies that the USA administration and their allies were also implementing. From this assumption, this paper analyzes the specific dynamics of surveillance on student protest, exploring the previous situation at university, the challenges introduced by the youth upheaval, the diverse responses of the establishment, the role of the American aid, and finally the consequences both for the dissidents and for the dictatorship it…
Rumor de pañuelo blanco: historia, memoria y representaciones literarias de Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo
2018
El 24 de marzo de 2016 se cumplieron 40 años del golpe de Estado del autodenominado Proceso de Reorganización Nacional que condujo a siete años de una sangrienta dictadura en Argentina. De entre las organizaciones de Derechos Humanos que surgieron como respuesta a las desapariciones ilegales de militantes y de civiles, las Madres y Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo se han constituido, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional, en evidencia de la historia de violencia y en símbolo de paz; como tales también han entrado en el plano de la ficción. Teniendo en cuenta estas líneas, en el presente trabajo se realiza, primero, un recorrido por la historia de las Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo y el cambio polític…
