Soundless Screams: Graffiti and Drawings in the Prisons of the Holy Office in Palermo
2017
The discovery of graffiti in the early years of the twentieth century by the folklorist Giuseppe Pitré left by prisoners of the tribunal of the Spanish Inquisition in Palermo has been followed by more extensive investigations in recent years. These images and words have added a concrete and particular dimension to Sicily’s position at the crossroads of the Mediterranean. As well as images of saints and naval battles are to be found inscriptions not only in Italian, Sicilian and Latin but also in English and Hebrew. This article cross references this visual and textual evidence with the relevant archives of the tribunal in order to provide a powerful microhistory of suffering and resilience …
Carl Sauer e gli ultimi lavori sul continente americano. The Early Spanish Main
2014
Carl Ortwin Sauer (1889-1975), capostipite della Scuola di Berkeley, è da molti considerato il padre fondatore della geografia culturale contemporanea, ma la sua opera complessiva è generalmente poco conosciuta in Italia. Il geografo americano è noto alla comunità scientifica internazionale per aver scritto nel 1925 il saggio “The Morphology of Landscape”, che individua chiaramente una nuova strada metodologica da seguire in Geografia. Obiettivo del presente lavoro è di focalizzare l’attenzione sull’interessante produzione degli ultimi anni di vita del geografo. In particolare si discuterà del lungo lavoro di ricerca e della metodologia utilizzata per le analisi del continente americano ai …

Control Over Administration, Repression of Corruption and Practices of Negotiation in the Spanish Monarchy. The Process of Residencia at the 10th Cou…
2021
The debate around the definition of the political nature of the Spanish Monarchy in the modern age has widened its scope in recent years to include not only reflections on the relationships between the Court and the diverse territorial elements that made itup but also the various forms that “remote government” took from at various times. The success of a polycentric model, and the awareness of the parts played by a wide range of actors, communities and institutions at local level and in the broader international environment, have brought up some key questions with reference to the pivotal role of the transition from a theoretical model of administration, management and control to its practi…
Religiosi e “geometrie dell’impero”. Teorie e pratiche fortificatorie tra Mediterraneo e Atlantico
2018
Between the end of the fifteenth century and the beginning of the sixteenth, the changes in the military technology - mainly related to the spread of firearms - implied a re-elaboration of the fortification construction theories and, consequently, a practical experimentation aimed at the identification of architectural models capable to make the border areas safe and impregnable. Far from involving only a small circle of "men of arms", the debate about the “new art of the war” involved men whose formation can not be traced back to a specific type. Clearly emerges a fact: the involvement of ecclesiastics also as "technicians" for the design of defensive structures, was not a marginal phenome…
PRODUCTION OF THE SPANISH VOWEL SYSTEM BY CHINESE SPEAKERS
2018
RESUMEN En este trabajo se comparan los sistemas vocálicos del español y del chino pronunciados por hablantes nativos con el objetivo de presentar a continuación las peculiaridades del sistema vocálico español de un grupo de estudiantes de China con un nivel intermedio de español.

Los resultados indican que el sistema vocálico español de los estudiantes chinos es estructuralmente similar al sistema nativo, pero con algunas diferencias fonéticas: en primer lugar, tiene una extensión mayor por lo…
A Need for a Paradigm Shift in the Spanish Banking Sector? The Evolution from Regional to Multinational Banks in Spain.
2014
Since the approval of Spain¿s 2012 National Budget on March 30, 2012, some doubts and controversies have added up to many fears in the private sector regarding the measures and stimuli that the Spanish government was going to undertake. At the same time, this situation was in some measure aggravated by the financial backlog of many small and medium companies, which are and will continue, in the following years to be completely unable to comply with their financial requirements. In line with Boronat Ombuena¿s (2009a, 2009b, 2010, 2012) requirements in his new approach to finance and private sector liaisons, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the recent years of the credit …
ACCULTURATION STUDIES IN SPAIN IN THE LAST DECADE
2017
In a globalized world, numerous groups of people come into permanent contact with each other and experience psychosocial changes. These changes, produced during contact between culturally different groups, are called acculturation. In the present study, a systematic review was carried out of 18 journal articles that have researched this phenomenon over the last decade (2005-2015) in Spain. The results show that the main topics studied are the areas of nuclear and peripheral acculturation, the role of prejudice in the adoption of one acculturation style or another, the influence of the acculturation strategies adopted on people’s mental health and other variables that influence the process o…
