The Domestication of the Other. Hermes, the Lyre and the Satyrs between Violence and Civilization
2012
Within the general frame of violence and its representations in Ancient Greece, this paper focuses on the myth of Hermes inventing the lyre and on the relationship between this god and the Satyrs. The representation of Satyrs on vessels used at Symposia clearly shows the civilizing effects of music, that allows a shift from “savagery” to “culture”, and from the “other” to the “self”.

Quan la justícia és venjança, contra un jueu
2013
In Valencia, in the year 1380, the death of a child aged six unleashes hatred and fear. A Jewish man is accused of throwing a stone at him from his window. The Criminal Justice immediately opens a suit against him and, with amazing speed, pronounces sentence in less than three months. The prosecution, the defence and the witnesses provide a short but splendid picture of the lives of subordinate people in the lower classes, a picture that speaks of values, sociability and solidarity, unsteady roots and the always delicate relationship between Jews and Christians.[ca] La mort d’un nen de sis anys, a la València de 1380, desferma odis i temors. Un jueu és acusat d’haver-li llançat una pedrada …
Gertrude Bonnin on Sexual Morality
2021
This paper examines attitudes to sexual morality held by the Yankton Dakota author and activist Gertrude Bonnin (1876–1938), better known by her penname Zitkála-Šá (Red Bird in Lakota). Bonnin’s concerns encompass several themes: the victimization of Indian women, disintegration of Native courtship rituals, sexual threats posed by peyote use, and the predatory nature of Euro-American men. This critique as a whole — in which a ‘white invasion,’ in her words, leads to a corruption of Native sexuality — sometimes produces inconsistencies, particularly regarding Bonnin’s statements on the alleged sexual perils of peyote. Her investigations into the Oklahoma guardianship scandals of the 1920s, h…
Violencia y sociedad en una villa medieval : Castellón de la plana en el siglo XV
2006
On the evidence of local court rolls, this paper studies the patters of violence in a valencian small town oriented to a great extent toward agrarian activities. It was especially a structural and daily violence, that usually it was not caused by habitual criminals but by common people and even by members of the ruling group. Abuse of force usually taked place from poweful to weak (from richs to poors, from masters to serviants, from husbands to wives, from christians to muslims), so that these forms of violence reaffirmed internal hierarchies that divided local community.
Le genre des bris de machines : violence et mécanisation à l’aube de l’ère industrielle (Angleterre-France, 1750-1850)
2013
Les bris de machines constituent un type de violence recurrent en Angleterre et en France au debut de l’ere industrielle. Ce type de violence contestataire a ete peint essentiellement sous les traits d’une pratique masculine, impliquant le triomphe d’une conception virile des rapports sociaux et des conflits du travail. Loin d’etre marginales ou invisibles, les femmes sont pourtant bien presentes dans ces conflits, a la fois comme auxiliaires des hommes mais aussi comme actrices de plein droit insurgees contre les machines qui portent atteinte a la production domestique et a leur mode de vie. En examinant le genre des bris de machines, il s’agit a la fois de suivre comment les machines requ…
