Contributions to the history of psychology: CXIX. The Spanish Neurohistological School's legacy: Cajal and Lorente de Nó.
2003
Santiago Ramón y Cajal made his mark in the history of science as a brilliant researcher of the histology of the nervous system. His bold efforts and the international recognition he received during his lifetime played an important role in the consolidation of the Spanish Neurohistological School which is composed of a large number of eminent disciples. Amongst these, and of outstanding repute, is Rafael Lorente de Nó whose research had a significant influence on the work of Canadian psychologist Donald O. Hebb and, consequently, on the development of neurophysiological theory. This paper analyses some of the contributions of Cajal and his disciple Lorente de Nó which formed the anatomical…
Towards a Science of the Self: Autism, Autobiography, and Animal Behavior in Temple Grandin’sAnimals in Translation
2019
AbstractThis paper argues that Temple Grandin’s work serves as an intervention into the very framework of ‘disability.’Animals in Translationsuggests that the minds of people living with autism are ‘wired differently’; yet, this difference, Grandin makes clear, is by no means always a disadvantage. As a scientist in animal studies and a consultant for animal behavior, Grandin claims that persons on the autism spectrum may be ideally suited for understanding the animal mind. Describing both autism and animal behavior through the discourse of neuroscience, she takes the analogy between persons with autism and animals one step further. Both animals, especially birds, and people on the autism s…
How do people talk decades later about their crisis that we call psychosis? : A qualitative study of the personal meaning-making process
2019
Psychosis refers to a severe mental state that often significantly affects the individual’s life course. However, it remains unclear how people with the lived experiences themselves view these phenomena, as part of their life story. In order to evaluate this personal meaning-making process, we conducted in-depth life-story interviews with 20 people who had been diagnosed with non-affective psychosis 10 to 23 years previously in one catchment area. 35% of them were still receiving mental health treatment, and 55% of them were diagnosed with schizophrenia. Only a minority named their experiences as psychosis. On the basis of narrative analysis, two types of stories appeared to encompass how m…
Gli avantesti delle opere abbandonate. Georges Perec e la disseminazione dei fantasmi del romanzo
2022
The abandoned work is a form of voluntary incompletion because the interruption of the writing process is decided by the author himself. Abandonment is preceded by considerations and traces that make the process intelligible, especially when identified in avant-textual documents in which the author often not only plans the construction of the text but also reasons about it by tracing the criticalities that condition its progress. The article aims to reflect on some aspects of Georges Perec's abandoned works, showing how these are integrated within the completed works through the processes of dissemination and proliferation.
Remembrance of the historian Vicent Llombart
2017
Esta evocación muestra cómo la formación inicial que recibió Vicent Llombart en el Seminario de historia del pensamiento económico en la Universidad de Valencia fue decisiva, pero no suficiente, para entender una trayectoria rotunda por sus contribuciones. Su propósito decidido, su firme exigencia personal y su apertura intelectual permanente nos ayudan a comprender mejor a un gran historiador. This remembrance shows how the initial training that Vicent Llombart received at the Seminar on the History of Economic Thought at the University of Valencia was crucial, although not the only element, to understanding a prominent academic career with so relevant contributions. His determined purpose…
Krinka Vidaković-Petrov y Kalmi Baruh: una perspectiva biográfica intersubjetiva
2019
Krinka Vidakovic-Petrov has devoted much of her extensive academic career to studying the Hispanist Kalmi Baruh. In fact, the researcher considers him the «father» of the Spanish studies in Yugoslavia.

The aim of the article, despite the limitations of this research model, is to highlight the relevance of the work carried out by Vidakovic-Petrov and to analyze the cognitive fundamentals that justify her interest i…
Nimfes al Vinalopó. La poesia renaixentista d’un alacantí oblidat, Josep Gosalbes de Cunedo (s. XVI)
2013
Resum: L’obra del poeta alacantí del segle XVI Josep Gosalbes de Cunedo ha passat a l’oblit. Alguns aspectes de la seua vida i obra mereixen atenció, com a mínim, per haver tractat temes propis de la seua terra. Alguns dels seus poemes tracten l’antiga Governació d’Oriola, al sud del regne de València, i celebren la creació del bisbat d’Oriola, motiu pel qual l’autor descriu el territori amb gust renaixentista. La seua amistat amb l’humanista Just Lipsi marca la seua biografia, on guerres i presó també estan presents.Paraules clau: poesia llatina; Renaixement; Oriola; Alacant; Just LipsiAbstract: The work of the 16th. century poet from Alicante Joseph Gosalbes of Cunedo has been forgotten. …
Penser la frontière entre essai et autobiographie à partir de la bande dessinée. Are You My Mother? d'Alison Bechdel
2018
Based on Alison Bechdel's autobiographical essay Are You My Mother?, this article is a discussion on two boundaries of the essay : a generic boundary between essay and autobiography, questioned by the possibility of autobiographical essay, and an intermedial boundary challenged by the development of graphic essays in comics. Are You My Mother? is a self-reflexive autobiographical work which describes the author's discovery of psychoanalysis and deals at the same time with mother-child relationships and the continuity between novel writing, autobiography and psychoanalysis, thus articulating autobiographical material and general thoughts. The book can be described in particular as a consiste…
« Au nom du père ou les “autobiographies” de ceux qui ne dessinent pas (Altarriba, Gallardo, Spiegelman, Tardi) »
2015
International audience; Antonio Altarriba, Miguel Angel Gallardo, Art Spiegelman ou encore Jacques Tardi sont autant d'auteurs qui ont dessiné l'autobiographie de leur père. Ces égodocuments, qui sont des oeuvres en collaboration, peuvent-ils encore être qualifiés d'autobiographies ? Faut-il parler d'allobiographies ? d'altrobiographies ? Par ailleurs, ces autobiographies père-fils ajoutent une nouvelle strate contractuelle à ce genre qui n'en manquait déjà pas : celle du modèle maussien du don et du contre-don.
