La vida cotidiana de los vecinos de Manila a través de sus testamentos e inventarios de bienes

2019

With the general objective indicated in its title, this work tries to highlight relevant aspects in the continuity of the Spanish domain in the Philippines, dependent on the maintenance of the Spanish capital. The inevitable selection of topics has lead the preferences of this work towards the residents collaboration to defend the city, the conversion of many of them into traders of exotic products and singular slaves owners, and their collaboration to an incredible miscegenation due to the ethnic variety. On the other hand, to follow the footsteps of the first generation of residents in Manila, at the end of the 16th century and during the 17th century, this work gives us some information …

Spanish Fascism as a Political Religion (1931–1941)

2011

This article focuses on the controversial argument that Spanish Fascism, organized in the political party Falange Espanola (FE y de las JONS), can be interpreted as a form of political religion, understood in the sense of Emilio Gentile. The central thesis is that Spanish Fascism was a political religion during the Republican period, that is, from the time of its consolidation during the early 1930s to the beginning of the Civil War. However – and this is the main analytical challenge – it was also one after July 1936, in spite of the fact that the formation of Franco's Movimiento Nacional imposed no small transformations upon it. Even if those transformations were linked to the increasingl…

Conrad and Censorship in Poland

2012

This essay explores the ways in which Conrad's life and letters were inextricably connected with the censorship imposed by three political systems: Tsarist autocracy, Nazi totalitarianism, and Communism. Conrad's oeuvre was itself a “victim” of two regimes of totalitarian censorship and political persecution. In occupied Poland between 1939 and 1945, his writing became a spiritual guide for the young generation, helping them to survive the horrors of the war and occupation. After the war, Conrad was banned by the Polish Communists, and supposedly forgotten. Totalitarian systems, it is argued, regard Conrad's works as dangerous and subversive because of their moral message of respect for hum…

Making Telescopes and Partying with the Stars: Amateur Astronomy in Spain during Franco’s Dictatorship

2016

Franco’s dictatorship was characterized by an official narrative that criminalized the liberal tradition of previous periods. Such a discourse defined an ideologically correct science that censured the subordination of Spanish science to foreign influence and sought to create a new scientific tradition. However, recent studies have revised these aims and suggest that there was a continuity of scientific and technological programmes and practices before and after the Spanish Civil War. This paper contributes to these investigations with further evidence, focusing on several practices that characterized the development of amateur astronomy during this period. Special attention is paid to the…

María Zambrano’s Phenomenology of Poetic Reason

2002

Maria Zambrano was born in Velez-Malaga (Malaga) in 1904. Her father, Blas Zambrano, a teacher by profession, was to play a significant part in influencing her, along with her close friend, the poet Antonio Machado. In 1924 she moved to Madrid where she studied philosophy and attended classes given by Ortega y Gasset, Xavier Zubiri and Garcia Morente. A staunch supporter of the Republic, she went into exile after the end of the Civil War. After a long exodus through Mexico, Cuba, Paris, Rome and other places, she returned to Spain where she received the Cervantes Prize for Literature (1988). She died in Madrid in 1996.

Anglicisms in Tourism Language Corpora 2.0

2015

Abstract The world of tourism has evolved in recent times because of the impact of the Internet. Tourism enterprises have expanded their commercial point of view and have found a faster way to reach clients through increased tourism advertising on the Web. Along with this increase in advertising are the opportunities to study the lexicon of tourism. One of the main points in this lexicon is the use of foreign words, especially the use of Anglicisms due to English's status as a universal language in these contexts. In this article, we will study the Anglicisms in Spanish tourism from these points of view: • why these words are used; • in what context they are used; • if we use original forei…

Early modern state formation in the margins? A review of early modern popular politics and limited royal power in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth …

2017

The traditional historiography of early modern state-building has usually followed the western European paradigm of historiography, the usual models being France, England, Brandenburg-Prussia and Sweden. Regions that do not follow this paradigm have simply been left out and labeled “backward” or as “lagging behind”. In this literary review, our focus is on two different and rather surprising cases of early modern state formation: the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Spanish colonial empire in Latin America. By following the scholarship on these two large conglomerates, we focus on two scholarly concepts: the idea of early modern realms as composite/conglomerate states, and state forma…
