Citizenship and Gender Equality in the Second Spanish Republic: Representations and Practices in Socialist Culture (1931–1936)
2014
AbstractThis article contributes to historiographical debates on political cultures, the construction of female citizenship and democracy development through an analysis of the construction of gender identities in socialist culture and working-class culture in Spain. From 1931, in the context of the Second Spanish Republic, socialist culture experienced a complex mixture of egalitarian proposals, collective actions and strategies to achieve the political mobilisation of women. This process reformulated in female terms many of the concepts historically present in this political culture: equality, freedom, secularism and citizenship.
“The first man on the street” - tracing a famous Hilbert quote (1900) back to Gergonne (1825)
2016
A short, catchy, and in its content somewhat exaggerated, quote allows us to draw a connection through three-quarters of a century between two leaders of mathematics who apparently held somewhat similar philosophical, pedagogical, and political views. In addition to providing some new facets to the biographies of Gergonne and Hilbert, our article relates to increasing demands for the dissemination of mathematical knowledge and to corresponding structural changes within mathematics during the 19th century.

Exploiting the Exiles: Soviet Émigrés in U.S. Cold War Strategy
2012
This article discusses the abortive U.S. government effort to organize Soviet émigrés after World War II. After years of a lack of interest on the part of both the United States and the Soviet Union, Soviet émigrés and émigré politics came to the fore with the onset of the Cold War. The U.S. government sought to use émigrés in political and psychological warfare against the Soviet bloc. The many studies that have looked at Cold War-era psychological warfare have largely ignored U.S. plans to enlist Soviet émigrés on the West's behalf. Attempts to create a political forum for anti-Bolshevik Soviet émigrés were broader than have been understood thus far, revealing important information about…
The term “political oeconomy” in Adam Smith
2020
This article analyses the use of the term “‘political oeconomy” in the Wealth of Nations, considered by many the founding text of the discipline of Political Economy. It shows that Adam Smith could not accept the use of the term “political oeconomy” that had been made by other authors to indicate the subject matter of his scientific inquiry, devoted to the nature and causes of the wealth of nations; he used the term “political oeconomy” as a synonym for economic policy, especially in the fourth book of the Wealth of Nations. In order to understand this statement, it is necessary to keep in mind the methodological and epistemological perspective developed by Smith; in his view, the inquiry i…

Razón natural y defensa de la costa. Los fundamentos del gobierno militar del reino de Valencia en el reinado de Felipe II
2021
En el siglo XVI la difusión de innovaciones militares alteró la administración la defensa de los reinos mediterráneos de la Monarquía Hispánica, en particular del reino de Valencia. Pero la adopción de novedades no fue solo consecuencia automática del peligro militar sufrido por los reinos, sino producto de negociaciones que intentaron integrar esas novedades dentro del orden social y político del reino, visto como parte del orden natural y universal. Fue mediante el uso de la razón natural, considerada de inspiración divina, y no mediante la moderna razón de estado, como se canalizaron y asumieron las innovaciones defensivas.

Lealtad y unidad en Miguel de Lastarria y Francisco Magariños. Dos proyectos políticos para el Río de la Plata entre la restauración y el trienio lib…
2021
En este trabajo se pretende un abordaje de lo político desde dos experiencias vitales en las que impactaron las revoluciones de independencia durante los años de la restauración y el trienio liberal. Se trata de dos personajes, Miguel de Lastarria y Francisco Magariños, cuyas vivencias en el marco revolucionario del Río de la Plata impactaron sus horizontes de expectativas y configuraron sus identidades a través de unas posiciones de defensa y lealtad a la monarquía hispánica. En ambos casos, la línea que definió sus posicionamientos políticos ante la crisis monárquica fue la de una postura de absoluta fidelidad a la monarquía, pero que se tradujo en proyectos políticos distintos como soluc…
