Health and the war. Changing schemes and health conditions during the Spanish civil war
2008
This paper focuses on the health reforms during the republican Spain (1931-1939) and the crisis derived from the three-year of civil war. It considers how the war affected the health system and the impairment of health conditions of the population during the late 1930s, considering the changing conditions caused by the conflict. Some of the specific topics analysed are the changing healthcare system, the adaptation of health organization after the outbreak of the war, the impact of the war on the health of the population and epidemiological changes, the problem of the refugees and the clinical studies by experts, mainly on undernourishment.
The powers of masculinization in humanitarian storytelling: the case of the surgeon María Gómez Álvarez in the Varsovia Hospital (Toulouse, 1944–1950)
2020
This contribution is focused on analysing the power of 'masculinization' through which traditional humanitarian storytelling has been shaped. Strongly marked by a patriarchal vision, humanitarian accounts have traditionally hidden the work of women while stressing that performed by men, who appeared represented as true protagonists and, even, as heroes. In particular, this article analyses the professional career of a Spanish female surgeon named Maria Gomez (1914-1975) between 1944 and 1950, when she worked in a small charitable hospital based in Toulouse (France) for improving the health-care conditions of Spanish Republican refugees. Known as Hospital Varsovia or as Walter B. Cannon Memo…
The Development of a Spanish Language Version of the Worn Out Scale of the General Well-Being Questionnaire (GWBQ)
2006
The paper describes the development of a short Spanish-language version of the General Well-Being Questionnaire (GWBQ; Cox & Gotts, 1987), based on the 12 items of its Worn Out scale. Research has shown the English-version Worn Out scale to be sensitive to aspects of the design and management of work. This study aimed to test its crosscultural consistency in a Spanish-language workplace context. The data were collected from a sample of 229 workers in Valencia (Spain). Confirmatory Factor Analyses showed the factorial validity, reliability, and concurrent validity of the new Spanish version to be adequate. The sensitivity of the new measure to safety behavior and the reporting of accidents w…
The First Decades of Independence – White Finland
2019
The Republic of Finland was established after a bloody civil war between the Reds and the Whites in 1918. This chapter analyses the emergence of Finnish independence and the role higher education played in the new republic in the 1920s and 1930s. During this period, the University of Helsinki was Finland’s dominant higher education institution, even though one public pedagogical college and seven private higher education institutions were also established: two universities (one Swedish-speaking and one Finnish-speaking), three business schools, a technical university, and a higher education institution of social sciences.
Lealtà alla prova: “Casa”, Monarchia, Chiesa. La carriera politica del cardinale Giannettino Doria (1573-1642)
2015
La storiografia sulla Monarchia spagnola ne ha da tempo individuato la caratteristica di spazio aperto per le carriere di élite al servizio degli Asburgo. Così è stato per i cardinali appartenenti alla “Fazione spagnola” in quanto sudditi dei domini italiani del re di Spagna. Essi giocarono un difficile ruolo, considerata la molteplicità delle cariche ricoperte e dei rispettivi doveri di fedeltà: principi della Chiesa romana; vescovi di diocesi chiave dal punto di vista politico e della cura pastorale; viceré dei domini italiani; mediatori in prestigiosi matrimoni e carriere ecclesiastiche dei propri parenti. Questo articolo si propone di ricostruire questo profilo attraverso la carriera di…
The teaching of the Valencian language and linguistic prejudices. A case study in a secondary school in Plana Utiel-Requena
2020
[EN] The present research deals with the question of the teaching of Valencian in the Spanish-speaking areas where the LUEV (1983) is in force, which determines the possibility of exemption from the subject of Valencian. Specifically, we approach the question of the beliefs and social representations on the language and its teaching from a case study carried out in a secondary school of the city of Requena. The aim of the study is to identify and differentiate the linguistic attitudes towards the Valencian language in this sociolinguistic context and it is an opportunity to present an educational change. The results of this study respond to the ideas of the students and the native teachers …
La representación de la historia reciente en la ficción televisiva española actual
2017
Based upon the assumption that television has a strong impact in the vision that we have about the pass, along the next pages we analyse the recent history representations present in Spain's tv-fiction and cinematographic productions too. As we establish relationships between both audiovisual productions, we propose to investigate about the construction of Transition's mythos and analyse if there is a television model in the mode of representing the recent history.

Modernités dans les Amériques : des avant-gardes à aujourd’hui
2018
Reposer aujourd’hui la question de la modernité – littéraire, artistique, sociale ou politique – revient à employer le mot au pluriel. Ce choix implique que l’on ne se réduise pas au terme plurivoque, et souvent ambigu, de modernisme. Ce dernier, souvent convoqué pour désigner l’imaginaire culturel de la modernité, peine à rendre compte des écarts qui se manifestent dans la manière de penser le rapport au temps, à l’histoire et à la culture. « La modernité n’est pas un mouvement, comme dada o...
La televisión, “lugar de memoria” transgresivo
2010
International audience; Contrairement au cinéma, la télévision espagnole a accordé à la guerre civile, à l'immédiate après-guerre et à la répression franquiste une place dérisoire par rapport à l'espace médiatique qu'elle représente et aux moyens de production et de diffusion dont elle dispose. Ce parti pris et l'orientation de bon nombre des programmes qu'elle a proposés au cours de ces trente cinq dernières années, font de la télévision, la plus remarquable et présente manifestation du point de vue des vainqueurs.
