Alle origini dei Duchi di Villarosa: Francesco Notarbartolo (1630-1704)
2011
L’ascesa economica del ramo della famiglia Notarbartolo che conseguirà il titolo di duchi di Villarosa si caratterizza per la rapidità e l’incisività d’azione del capostipite: Francesco Notarbartolo Alvarez d’Eván. Muovendosi con abilità nel quadro del sistema economico siciliano della seconda metà del Seicento, Francesco riuscì in breve tempo a costruire il nucleo del patrimonio fondiario della famiglia: nel volgere di un ventennio, tra gli anni ’70 e gli anni ’90 del XVII secolo, creò un patrimonio di feudi compatto e geograficamente ben definito, che si estendeva tra Castrogiovanni e Santa Caterina. L’operato del Notarbartolo è assimilabile ad altri casi simili, ma si caratterizza anche …

2014
El presente trabajo analiza la función de un sector del artesanado en el desarrollo y la consolidación de las comunidades pañeras del interior valenciano durante la segunda mitad del siglo XV.

From Nazi holocaust to nuclear holocaust: a lesson to learn?
1986
In a 1986 address to the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, a German physician describes his profession's embrace of National Socialism. The nationalistic sentiments of German scientists led them to identify with the goals of the Third Reich and to participate in its programs. He gives examples of physician involvement in the Nazi Party, discrimination against "non-Aryan" doctors, "eugenic" mass murder, and lethal experiments with human subjects. The few who protested were regarded as traitors by the profession as a whole, and post-war apologists argue that physicians' organizations had no choice but to collaborate with the Nazis. Hanauske-Abel rejects this reasonin…
Aspectos de la revolución jurídica en el decreto de los señoríos de 1811
2001
One of the basic elements which the bourgeoisie needed to address in the process of revolution was the transformation of the landholding regime and the instruments which conditioned the social relations of production: seigneurial, and principally jurisdictional, rights. This meant two tasks: overcoming the juridical structure that underlay the feudal property regime and the creation of a new system that might regulate relationships of capitalist production. Peculiarities and doubts about the origin of the feudal property regime and seigneurial rights, and the relationship between the two, would open up a series of questions relating to their legality and legitimacy, including the right of c…
