Ejército y televisión: del abuso mediático de un poder fáctico, al fatídico poder de la imagen televisiva
2015
The authorities have quickly developed a keen interest in television. The army, in particular, used it in order to build and promote its image in Spanish society. In spite of, the army doesn’t succeed to finish with its traditional isolation, neither to put to stop to its bad reputation. Indeed, the Spanish television emphasized the melodramatic dimension and the menacing presence of the army. The television shots of the attempted to coup d’état of February 23rd 1981 enabled that media to break with its propagandist function and to put a stop to the illusion according to which the past had been forgotten forever.
“Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie and the Ambiguous Afterlife of the History of the Acadians”
2018
Abstract Longfellow’s Evangeline was hailed as a great and distinctively American work when it appeared in 1847, and the poem’s use of North American history was a key element in its favourable reception. This use of history, however, is ambiguous and complex. The epic continues, first of all, in a long tradition of romanticized retellings of the heart-rending story of the Acadians. But the work also engages in a dual-level dialogue with both the mid-eighteenth-century history of the Acadians, who are pitied, without inciting indignation, and the contemporary history of midnineteenth-century America, whose expansionism it both implicitly celebrates and criticizes. Resume Evangeline, le poem…
Teaching issues of contemporary history using historical sources and modern teaching methods
2017
The study of history is becoming increasingly less interesting to students, despite the fact that the history teaching process has been continuously modernized during recent years. It is an observation which can be perceived even if we don`t make an elaborated research in the field. Some empirical data show us that students in secondary and High Schools are less interested in studying History than in studying Geography or other social sciences. The number of students who are determined to study History in universities has significantly dropped in recent years [1]. Of course, there are multiple causes and the factors behind this change are numerous and varied. In this paper we handle only so…
Freemasonry and Education in Contemporary Spain. Between Tolerance and Dogmatism
2017
Resumen:En este trabajo vamos a centrarnos casi en exclusiva en las iniciativas planteadas por diversas entidades masónicas, ya sean potencias, logias regionales o talleres, más que en personas exponiendo solamente algunas de las experiencias más relevantes y que ejemplifican mejor las intervenciones y actuaciones de la masonería española en relación con los enfoques descritos. La visibilidad que han alcanzado otras parcelas e interpretaciones del comportamiento, de los masones en particular y de las iniciativas de la masonería como institución, no nos deben ocultar la faceta desarrollada en torno a la educación. ¿Qué importancia tuvo el proceso formativo llevado a cabo en los talleres masó…

L'histoire des politiques culturelles des villes
1997
The history of cities' cultural policies, Philippe Poivrier. At the crossroads of the renewal of political history and cultural history, a new research area has been open to historians after a heavy occupation of the land by sociologists and political scientists. The article goes into the methodological stakes that accompany the examination of this public treatment of culture. A new approach of the social stakes of our societies could take effect, by giving to contemporary history a goal that has not been very much in evidence until now: the well-argued study of locality.
