Losing an Unexpected Throne: Deposing Second Sons of the Stuart Dynasty
2017
Two second sons of the Stuart dynasty who came as unexpected heirs to the throne lost their crown in depositions . Both of these kings, Charles I and James II , had a strong belief in a personal kingship over loyal subjects, which was at odds with the English concept of King-in-Parliament and the possibilities for subjects to participate in the rule of the kingdom. Charles I and James II lacked the natural confidence of born kings, and both tried to overcome this deficiency by overemphasizing their royal dignity. In doing so, they never realized that the generally accepted idea of a divine right of kings was to be articulated and represented, but not implemented in politics.

Between post-colonial and global studies: mobility, government and coexistence in the territories of the Spanish Monarchy in the modern age
2020
After overcoming a predominantly Eurocentric vision, historiography of the late 20th century ventured further into considering the development of dynamics on a planetary scale, embracing the innovative instances and methodological suggestions of Post-Colonial studies, as well as those of World and Global Studies. Whether one accepts the paradigm of “globalisation” or rejects it, like for example, among others, Frederick Cooper – who considers it an empty conceptual shell, devoid of uniformity – it is a matter of fact that social sciences, and history among them, were influenced by it in their heuristic approach at understanding phenomena. In this perspective, and within a dialectic approach…
Concepto estereotipado de arte en películas clásicas Disney
2021
La cultura visual se compone de un conjunto de imágenes fijas o en movimiento que son utilizadas para generar un adoctrinamiento en quienes las consumen de forma pasiva.

Vindicating Pablo Avecilla’s Spanish ‘Imitation’ of Hamlet (1856)
2012
This essay examines Pablo Avecilla’s Hamlet, an ‘imitation’ of Shakespeare’s tragedy of the prince of Denmark published in 1856, both in its own terms and in the historical context of its publication. This Shakespearean adaptation has been negatively judged as preposterous and unworthy of comment, but it deserves to be approached as what it claimed to be, a free handling of the Shakespearean model, and as responding to its own cultural moment. Avecilla turns the Shakespearean sacrificial prince into a righteous sovereign that has kept the love of a lower-ranked lady and, by pursuing revenge, has successfully overthrown a dishonourable and corrupt ruler. This re-focusing of the Shakespearean…

La Sicilia e la difesa della Monarchia (1621-1648)
2018
Il dibattito storiografico più recente ha sottolineato l’importanza dell’area mediterranea nella prima metà del XVII secolo. Superata l’idea che la "grande storia" avesse abbandonato il Mare Nostrum per interessare esclusivamente il fronte atlantico, è stato ridefinito il ruolo dei regni della Monarchia asburgica ancora coinvolti nella gestione della politica internazionale. Il presente contributo intende mettere in luce la partecipazione della Sicilia alle attività militari della Corona spagnola, tanto in area mediterranea quanto nel cuore dell’Europa, e in particolare evidenziare le conseguenze - economiche, sociali e finanziarie - di un incremento del prelievo fiscale necessario per risp…
Le flotte degli Austrias e gli scali italiani: una messa a punto
2019
Since the sixteenth century, the threat of Ottoman armies and Barbary corsairs forced Spain to gradually equip and upgrade a fleet of galleys - organized in teams - which in the "Italian" geopolitical space was headed by the domains that had a maritime projection (Kingdoms of Naples, Sicily, Sardinia) and the "connected" port of Genoa. Furthermore, new territories (the State of the Presidi, the feudal enclave of Finale) were acquired to facilitate navigation within the western Mediterranean borders and the use of Ligurian ports was negotiated with the Republic of Genoa. The maritime war in its various forms was therefore at the base of an elaborate logistic and strategic organization, which…
