The Lupa Romana in the Roman provinces
2014
The she-wolf with the twins, Romulus and Remus, was identified as a symbol of Rome by both the Romans themselves and nations under the Roman rule. In this essay I will discuss the Lupa Romana in Roman provincial art. I will present various visual representations of the she-wolf both in the public use and in objects related to private life, and analyze the she-wolf’s symbolic meaning.The Lupa Romana was an iconic scene that was not used randomly in provincial art. It represented in the first place the idea of romanitas, being Roman. In some cases the use of the symbol could have been in consequence of instructions from Rome itself or from provincial authorities that depended on Rome, but in …
Supply and Demand of e-Government Services in Developing Countries: Cases from Tanzania
2013
One of the main contributions in order to create development in poor countries is to give people access to information and communication. Most people in poor countries cannot afford to buy their own computer equipment, and access has therefore to be facilitated by arrangements for public use. Today, Internet cafes and telecentres are the two main sources of public Internet access in developing countries. One area where information technology and public Internet access can be particularly useful for the development of poor countries is as a tool for promoting good governance through e-government systems. Generally, developing countries are lagging behind in e-government adoption, and in this…
Democracia y deliberación pública desde la perspectiva rawlsiana
2004
En el presente trabajo me centro, principalmente, en una de las cuestiones que ocupan, a mi modo de ver, el primer plano de la reflexión teórica actual: el problema de la democracia como forma política del uso público de la razón por parte de todos, estudiándolo desde el paradigma que nos ofrece John Rawls en sus últimas obras. Sobre todo en el papel y límite que Rawls asigna a la «Razón pública» y la «Deliberación pública», cuyo análisis me parece enormemente sugerente e iluminador para la Teoría democrática contemporánea. He analizado, en primer lugar, la relación entre democracia y concepción política de justicia, y en segundo, la razón pública y los límites de la deliberación pública. C…
Necrológica del <i>Outsider</i> Reinhart Koselleck: el «historiador pensante» y las polémicas de los historiadores
2007
Reinhart Koselleck is an author difficult to classify, since his conceptual history is rejected, and at the same time taken advantage of, by both philosophy and historiography. This paper analyses Koselleck’s attitude, sometimes tactful, at other times passionate, towards the polemics of the historians and philosophers of his country, and particularly towards the controversy concerning the involvement of both groups in Nazism—a controversy that has provoked a debate, still open, about the affections and disaffections between the science which studies the past, and memory, and has also unleashed a dispute about memorials motivated by the monument to the victims of the Holocaust. Koselleck tr…
Estar al otro lado de la mesa. Profesionales de los servicios públicos de empleo ante los dilemas de la activación laboral
2019
Under the paradigm of activation, the Public Employment Services has been reshaped by two levels of contractualization. On one hand, the collaboration of the administration with a network of agents on the programme scheme that make up the active policies of employment. On the other hand, the unemployed person?s access to a compartmentalized offer of services and individually taking responsibility for finding work. This double contractualization reveals redefinition of lowering public responsibility faced with the problem of unemployment that this activation supposes. This paper analyses how this redesign has an impact on how professionals serve the unemployed population. This lays bare, in …
Les sacrifices du corps: configuration, formes et évolution de(s) mémoire(s) de Blas de Lezo en Espagne. XVIIIe-XIXe siècles
2020
Resumen Desde las aportaciones metodológicas y teóricas de los memory studies, este artículo analiza la configuración de la memoria de Blas de Lezo desde sus inicios hasta finales del siglo XIX. A partir del estudio de biografías, compendios históricos y artículos periodísticos principalmente, tratan de delimitarse los factores que confluyen en su construcción, la versatilidad de su funcionalidad política y las constantes modificaciones producidas en sus usos públicos. La revalorización de la figura de Lezo es interpretada como símbolo del imperio y la nación española, esencia de la españolidad –unida a la exaltación de los fueros y la especificidad vasca– y ejemplo de sacrificio para una m…
