La historiografía reciente sobre el primer carlismo (2006-2018)
2020
The objective of this article is to analyze the latest publications on the first Carlism and to know what the current state of affairs is. To do this, more than 300 works have been consulted and the authors, the study topics and the interpretations have been analyzed. In this way we see that there are three types of historians of Carlism and that the group to which they belong influences the kind of publications, the themes and the interpretations of each one. As for the subjects, there is a great variety of them, being the most frequent the biographies, the military accounts and the local, county and historiographic studies. On the other hand, although there are new approaches and some gap…
Azorín y la “historia menuda” de España: una lectura de Los pueblos (1905)
2015
El propósito de este trabajo es proponer una lectura de Los pueblos (1905) desde el punto de vista del historiador; concretamente, desde la perspectiva de dos corrientes historiográficas —la microhistoria y la history from below— surgidas en Europa durante los años setenta con el objetivo fundamental de recuperar al individuo anónimo como sujeto histórico, prestando atención a las “clases subalternas” de la sociedad. Mediante el análisis de dicha obra, mi intención es demostrar que la concepción que tiene Azorín de la historia de España responde a una idea fundamental: la necesidad de conceder la atención que merecen a los pequeños hechos y sucesos de la vida cotidiana protagonizados por in…
Problemes de la periodització en història de la llengua
2021
El treball analitza l’adequació de les perioditzacions de la història de la llengua catalana amb l’objectiu proposar-ne una que siga compatible amb el caràcter social de què actualment pretenen revestir-se la majoria de les històries de la llengua. Així, es considera fora de lloc el tractament d’algun període previ a l’existència de la llengua catalana, com la de la romanització, i es rebutja alguna etiqueta que és una tradició inventada, com la de la reconquista. La proposta d’una periodització es resumeix en quatre etapes basades en factors sociolingüístics: sorgiment, consciència, plenitud i conflicte lingüístic. The work analyses how of suitable are the periodizations of the history of …
Pulling Harriot Out of Newton’s Shadow: How the Norwegian Outsider Johannes Lohne Came to Contribute to Mainstream History of Mathematics
2016
The focus of this paper is on the peculiarities of Lohne ’s “outsider approach” to the historiography of mathematics and physics. The main thesis is that the circumstances of Lohne ’s outsider position both narrowed down and sharpened the focus of his research, but that he succeeded because he joined the then rising tide of archival based and content oriented internalist research in the history of physics and mathematics and because he was supported by scholars such as D.T. Whiteside and J.E. Hofmann , whose connections to the international community were better than his own. The main conclusions are based on Lohne ’s Nachlass in Oslo and on some other archival sources. In addition Lohne ’s…
In the Service of the Reich: Aspects of Copernicus and Galileo in Nazi Germany’s Historiographical and Political Discourse
2001
ArgumentFocus of this paper is on the historiographical fate of Nicholas Copernicus and Galileo Galilei in Nazi Germany. Both played interesting roles in Nazi propaganda and the legitimization of Nazi political goals. In the “Third Reich,” efforts to claim Copernicus as a German astronomer were closely linked to revisionist policies in Eastern Europe culminating in the war-time expansion. The example of Galileo’s condemnation by the Catholic Church in 1633 became a symbol of its unjustified opposition to new “scientific” results, namely Nazi racial theory. After Catholic opposition against Nazi racial theory had reached a peak in 1937, the Galileo affair was turned into an instrument of Naz…
The Historiae Florentini populi by Poggio Bracciolini. Genesis and Fortune of an Alternative History of Florence
2020
During the last years of his life, Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459), former Apostolic Secretary and Chancellor of Florence, was working on a long text that he characterized, in a letter written in 1458, as lacking a well-defined structure. This was most probably his history of the people of Florence (Historiae Florentini populi, the title given in Jacopo’s dedication copy to Frederick of Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino), revised and published posthumously by Poggio’s son, Jacopo Bracciolini (1442-1478). Contrary to what is often assumed, Poggio’s treatise was not a continuation, nor even a complement, to Leonardo Bruni’s (1370-1444) official history of Florence. It concentrates on the most recent…

La Unión Liberal en el sistema político isabelino. Concepciones, alcances y limitaciones (1858-1863) The Liberal Union in the political Elizabethan s…
2017
Este artículo pretende revisar el estado actual de conocimientos sobre una formación política, la Unión Liberal, que presidió el Gobierno más largo y estable de la era isabelina. El unionismo es un proyecto político que tradicionalmente ha sufrido la desatención de la historiografía por ser considerado continuación o solución estratégica para que el moderantismo clásico se perpetuase en el poder. Mi investigación trata de cuestionar esta línea interpretativa y enfatizar que el unionismo puede agrietar más si cabe la tesis de la debilidad del liberalismo español.La Unión Liberal fue un experimento político, original e innovador, que bajo premisas ya contempladas en la cultura liberal, reinte…
El papel desempeñado por los programas país de la Organización Mundial de la Salud en el desarrollo de la virología en España, 1951-1975
2020
Abstract Within the framework of recent historiography about the role of the World Health Organization (WHO) in modernizing public health and the multifaceted concept of global health, this study addresses the impact of the WHO’s “country programs” in Spain from the time it was admitted to this organization in 1951 to 1975. This research adopts a transnational historical perspective and emphasizes attention to the circulation of health knowledge, practices, and people, and focuses on the Spain-0001 and Spain-0025programs, their role in the development of virology in Spain, and the transformation of public health. Sources include historical archives (WHO, the Spanish National Health School),…
Conocimiento, traza e ingenio en la arquitectura valenciana del siglo XV
2012
In the last decades historiography of gothic architecture in the Crown of Aragon has focused on buildings monographs, documentary research and technical change in stone building. On the other hand, historians of technology have given special attention to the issue of innovation and its diffusion in the late Middle Ages, considering building techniques as a particular field of research. This essay studies transmission of technical knowledge in building trades in order to explain architectural changes in an outstanding environment of innovation such as the kingdom of Valencia in the 14th and 15th centuries, especially from 1430 onwards. Having account of previous research and some cases of st…
