Defining “National Treasures” in the European Union. Is the Sky Really the Limit?
2019
The main objective of this article is to analyse the scope of EU Member States’ right to determine national treasures for the purpose of Directive 2014/60/EU on the return of cultural objects. While investigating the issue at the EU, human rights, and constitutional levels, the authors argue that the right to define what constitutes national treasures is not an absolute right. The definition of this particular category of cultural objects cannot be used to circumvent the rules on the free movement of goods and to hamper this freedom in an unjustifiable and arbitrary manner. On the human rights and constitutional levels, Member States’ right cannot interfere with the right to enjoy one’s pos…
“Cute Goddess is Actually an Aunty”: The Evasive Middle-Aged Woman Streamer and Normative Performances of Femininity in Video Game Streaming
2022
In this paper the focus is on the representations of “middle-aged” or “aging” women streamers in western media. I analyze discussions in Western online media around a case of Chinese DouYu live-streamer. “Qiaobiluo Dianxia,” as her streamer name goes, became a topic in Western media after a glitch in her live stream revealed her to be a middle-aged woman, rather than young woman she was assumed to be. The discussions are analyzed with critical discourse analysis. It is argued that the aging bodies of women, both their presence and absence, should be read and understood through toxic gaming culture and geek masculinity and the hegemonic discourse they constitute.
Artrepreneurs and the autonomy paradox
2022
In this article, we examine the views that young (under 35 years) freelancers and entrepreneurs who work as professional artists in Finland have of their work. We refer to them as artrepreneurs. Our data sample is composed of the responses of entrepreneurs and freelancers (n = 209) from a survey data on young artists (n = 565) collected in 2017. By using a set of quantitative methods we study the impact of different factors on the job satisfaction experienced by freelancers and entrepreneurs, the nature and motivation factors of their work, as well as their status and livelihood. In our interpretative framework, central concepts are the “hybridity” and “precarity” of artists’ work and “auto…
La mujer católica y la regeneración de España: género, nación y modernidad en Fernán Caballero
2012
El autor propone una lectura de la obra de Cecilia Bohl de Faber (Fernan Caballero) en relacion con su contexto politico y literario. Su obra debe vincularse con el mito romantico de Espana, que excluia al pais de la «modernidad» europea y que cultivaba la idea de la supuesta inmoralidad de las espanolas. En respuesta a este mito, Fernan Caballero ofrecio la imagen de un pueblo andaluz franco, sencillo y amante del orden, y la de una mujer hispana virtuosa y profundamente religiosa. Su propuesta coincidia con la del liberalismo moderado, que acogio con aplauso sus obras en los anos posteriores a las revoluciones de 1848. Con el tiempo, la creciente evidencia de sus tendencias antiliberales …
Face-work in teacher-in-role: Acting at the interface between artistry and pedagogy
2016
The teacher-in-role (TIR) strategy is used in process drama to strengthen the dramatic experience and promote learning among the participants. In this study, one TIR construct is examined through the lens of Erving Goffman’s concept of facework in order to deepen the understanding of the subtle and vulnerable processes of interaction in process drama. TIR is considered to be an interactive construct in which both artistry and pedagogy are embodied. Face-work is applied in the fictive context of process drama to uncover the interactional potential for learning and creating drama. In addition, the teacher’s reflections on his or her actions as they relate to face-work in process drama are exp…
Shared experiencing, shared understandings: Intersubjectivity as a key phenomenon in drama education
2018
This article is a philosophical reflection on intersubjectivity in the context of drama education; it draws on the concept’s most recent neuroscientific basis as well as the perspectives of Merleau-Ponty, Buber and Husserl. Its purpose is to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms of interaction in learning processes in drama education. In the stream of interaction in drama, the central conditions are shared experiencing and shared understandings. Intersubjectivity encompasses both of these. This study views intersubjectivity as an innate capacity and a real phenomenon – one that is a key phenomenon in the interactions of drama education. peerReviewed
I Like Cities; Do You Like Letters? Introducing Urban Typography in Art Education
2010
This article proposes a study of the letters and graphics found in the city, while at the same time opening up unusual spaces linked to the cultural arena and visual geographies for the creation of learning spaces in art education, introducing urban typography for training teachers. The letters in urban spaces can help us reinterpret the patrimonial fabric of cities. With the help of typography, visual arts educators have a powerful graphic resource with which to articulate the complex communicative network of streets. We suggest walking as an aesthetic practice; strolling around the city as a very cultural means to motivate our students. We have at our disposal in our cities a genuine muse…
importancia curricular de la Educación para la Ciudadanía en las escuelas de la Unión Europea
2022
Actualmente la sociedad se enfrenta a grandes desafíos a los que debe responder. Las Naciones Unidas aprobaron en 2015 la Agenda 2030 junto con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible con el fin de crear una ciudadanía capaz de dar respuesta a las necesidades y retos de la sociedad. Desde 1992 Europa sintió la necesidad crear una ciudadanía supranacional compuesta por todos los ciudadanos que forman la Unión Europea. La Educación para la Ciudadanía cumple con esta función y su implementación en los sistemas educativos de los países es muy diversa, dando como resultado diferentes ciudadanos.

[EN] This text presents extensive new information on the figure of architect Rafael Guastavino Moreno (1842-1908), those around him, and his personal and family relationships with architecture.

La oscura memoria: cine negro y brechas fantásticas en Enterrar a los muertos (2005) y Las serpientes ciegas (2008) [Una contraposición]
2021
La literatura en torno a la memoria es uno de los puntales de la narrativa hispánica reciente. Lo que este artículo pretende es adentrarse en una de sus áreas más inexploradas (las purgas estalinistas en España durante la Guerra Civil) a través del análisis y la confrontación de dos obras tan reconocidas como heterodoxas: la novela Enterrar a los muertos, de Ignacio Martínez de Pisón, y el cómic Las serpientes ciegas, de Felipe Hernández Cava y Bartolomé Seguí. La pasarela que comunica ambos textos es la estética de cine negro que ambienta el cómic y que –como intentaremos demostrar– modula la tensión de la novela. El final del camino lo marca el empleo de lo fantástico por parte de Cava y …
