Legal transparency in the 19th century: incorporations, copies and sealed paper in the Protocol Section of the A.H.P.L.P.

2024-06-24T17:36:46+00:00

This work analyses the incorporation of a bicentennial public instrument in a protocol implemented in the Lanzarote Island, which embraces two years of exercise, 1829 and 1830. The implementation of protocol is examined from two points of view: the documentary tradition and the legislation of the state monopoly regarding the sealed paper applied to notarial books.

Comparative study on the Organisation of African Unity's position on the decolonisation processes in the Canary Islands, Madeira and Cape Verde (1963-1981)

2024-02-22T16:39:25+00:00

Since its foundation on 25 May 1963, the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) has maintained an unwavering position on the decolonisation of African territories. The aim of this study is to analyse the position of this institution with respect to three island regions: The Canary Islands, a territory dominated by Spain, the Cape Verde Islands, occupied by Portugal until 1974, and Madeira, currently a Portuguese region. In the case of the first and the third, the OAU, after a long process of negotiation, decided not to support self-determination, while in the case of Cape Verde the position remained unchanged. Therefore, in this study we will analyse the causes and motivations that led the African forum to take a divergent decision in territories that are certainly close to each other. To this end, a review of the bibliography will be carried out and primary sources will be used, such as official documents from international institutions (minutes and resolutions of the UN and the OAU).

The evolution of fertility in the Canary Islands in contrast with that of Spain in the 21st century (2000-23)

2024-05-06T08:12:44+00:00

El SFI of the Canary Islands reports a greater decrease than that of Spain in the first 8 triennia of the 21st century (32,3% vs 5,7%), associated with a greater decrease in the fertility of women under 35 years of age and a smaller increase in the fertility of women over 35 years of age. The age at first motherhood has been delayed by 2.43 years in Spain and 3.16 years in the Canary Islands. The relative weight of births to foreign mothers increased by 164.3% in Spain and 125.8% in the Canary Islands, although their SFI fell by 27.4% and 43.8%, respectively.

RRidesourcing in Mexico. Spread, determinants and types of users

2024-05-06T16:24:15+00:00

Some questions persist about ridesourcing services in Mexico after ten years of operation, particularly about the extension, determinants and users of such services. This article is based on the 2020 Census by the National Bureau of Statistics. It is discovered that ridesourcing comprehends one third of all trips taken by taxi, although it is still a minority choice. The most important determinant of use is type of household, as people in non-familiar and extended households are regular users. It is also shown that a great variety of needs and users are catered by such services.

The decline of the vineyard landscape according to historical cartography

2023-12-04T16:37:03+00:00

The objective is to analyse the evolution of the vineyard in the Calatayud region throughout the 20th century. The main sources of information are the National Topographic Map and the Map of Crops and Uses of Spain. The QGIS geographic information system and the Python programming language have been used to collect and process data. The vineyard has become a marginal element in the agricultural land uses, having disappeared from the valley bottoms and plain lands, but it has survived and relocated on slopes not suitable for other crops.

La planificación militar británica y alemana en la Segunda Guerra Mundial en relación con los "neutrales de largo recorrido"

2023-10-20T13:21:21+00:00

El principal objetivo de este estudio es comparar la planificación militar del Reino Unido y del Tercer Reich en relación con España y otros países neutrales europeos (Irlanda, Portugal, Suecia, Suiza y Turquía) a lo largo de cada una de las fases de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Para ello ha sido necesaria una recopilación sistemática de planes a partir de fuentes primarias de The National Archives en el Reino Unido y del Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv en Alemania. La principal conclusión es que la posición no beligerante de España fue un factor diferenciador clave que influyó en la estrategia adoptada por cada bando frente a los demás países neutrales europeos.

Social denouncement and corruption in the work of the Frenchified Manuel José Centeno (1821)

2024-05-12T11:33:22+00:00

The Frenchified clergy in 1808 bet on the Bonaparte monarchy hoping for changes in the rigid structures of the Old Regime in Spain. The reformism of the French Enlightenment was the hope deposited in the new Josephine dynasty, above all, in the economic, social and political order of the country. With this work we intend to deepen in the analysis of Manuel José Centeno's Memoria sobre los expósitos in which we will try to detect the allegations of corruption in the charitable institutions. This group of clergymen supported the enlightened reforms and the humanization of the care of foundlings and orphans in the institutions where they were admitted. The attention to unmarried mothers and their safety was another of the concerns expressed in the work, especially to avoid clandestine abortions and infanticide, so common at the time.

Nightlife in Bologna through the analysis of statutes (13th-15th centuries)

2024-03-13T13:43:57+00:00

The contribution aims to investigate nightlife in Bologna (Italy) in the late medieval period. Through the analysis of statute sources drafted between the 13th and 15th centuries, the role of the officers employed in night control, regulation through preventive and prohibitory rules, and the activities permitted by the authorities are described. The findings reveal a shift from a local supervision of the night to one exercised by foreign magistrates who also increasingly regulated the moral sphere. At the same time, Bolognese nightlife was characterised by a certain dynamism due to the many activities that took place at nightfall.

The landscape and geomorphological heritage of the high Cantabrian mountains through an Itinerary through the Peña Ubiña Massif

2024-03-08T12:20:08+00:00

The common thread of this geographical itinerary through the Peña Ubiña Massif is the modeling forms and the landscape in a high Cantabrian Mountain area. From eight stops in enclaves of special geomorphological relevance, the morphological traces of the Last Glaciation, periglacial processes, snow forms, karst modeling, fluviotorrential action and the vestiges of anthropic activity and the Spanish Civil War are observed. The aim is to revalue the geomorphological heritage, a fundamental element in the management plans of protected natural spaces that increasingly demands more efforts for its dissemination.

Architectural intervention in everyday heritage: the Livingston method and the chorizo houses

2024-03-10T23:31:09+00:00

For more than fifty years, the Livingston method of participatory design has been used in the renovation of casas chorizo in Argentine. The aim of the research is to test the suitability of the Livingston method for everyday heritage interventions. The multiple case study approached reveals a pioneering and unique approach in the field of architectural heritage intervention, in which people and space constitute an indissoluble link. Furthermore, it shows that the steps and tools of the Livingston method can be used in multiple contexts of everyday heritage with high participation of the inhabitants.

Blanca Catalán de Ocón (1860-1904): memoir of a naturalist who connected botany, arts and poetry

2024-04-08T12:40:18+00:00

Blanca Catalán de Ocón y Gayolá (1860-1904) is a name that is beginning to impact in the history of Spain, but whose legacy is yet to be discovered. From her youth, she showed an innate interest in botany and that is why she was designated as «the first Spanish botanist» by the German scientist H.M. Willkomm, director of the Prague Botanical Garden. She lived her youth surrounded by the beauty of nature, scientific knowledge and the good taste for arts and poetry that in every corner of her home situated in an immense valley in the heart of the Sierra de Albarracín. As a result of her research, she composed an herbarium with more than eighty species, some of them still unknown to science. However, the flowers of the valley were for her much more than elements to be scientifically analysed. As for other women naturalists of the 19th century, botany became a source of artistic inspiration, manifested in poems and floral compositions that we collect here today thanks to the research carried out in the private archive preserved by her descendants.

Símbolos mediterráneos de una ciudad hispanorromana: Artemisa/Diana, Pallas-Atenea/Minerva y Pegaso en las monedas de Emporia

2024-04-16T19:46:50+00:00

Este estudio analiza el fenómeno de difusión de los iconos adoptados en las monedas acuñadas por la ceca provincial de Emporiae. Para ello, esta aportación profundiza en aspectos que han recibido poca atención en la investigación. El primer apartado explora las diferentes fases que tuvieron lugar en el territorio donde surgiría la ciudad hispano-romana. La segunda parte examina los principales aspectos que configuraron el proceso de proyección de estos íconos monetarios, tomando en consideración aspectos importantes como la ausencia del retrato imperial, los paralelos más estrechos de estas imágenes y los elementos epigráficos utilizados en su difusión. El análisis detallado de todo ello permite concluir que la particular selección iconológico-monumental elegida por Emporiae tuvo como único objetivo mostrar el carácter complejo de la ciudad, ya que logró integrar las diferentes identidades hispánicas, romanas y mediterráneas de las distintas poblaciones que participaron en el proceso de promoción de Emporiae como un municipium de la Hispania Tarraconensis.

The value of feelings among the families of the Spanish aristocracy (1770-1830)

2024-05-02T12:58:57+00:00

The history of feelings has been consolidated as one of the most appropriate ways to know how families were transformed in the period when the extended family declined and the nuclear family began to be constituted, also called sentimental family by other authors. Some families of the Spanish aristocracy can be an excellent observatory to analyze this process. From the last third of the 18th century, influenced by the enlightened sensibility, they valued affection as the foundation of family coexistence, without renouncing the ties of blood and the culture of the ancestors.

Antonio Tovar and the university cultural press during the postwar Salamanca: Cátedra (1942-1945), Lazarillo (1943-1944) y Trabajos y Días (1946-1951)

2024-05-06T18:22:46+00:00

This article deals with some of the cultural publications of the University of Salamanca environment edited during the early post-war period, in which Antonio Tovar (rector of the university between 1951 and 1956) played a leading role. The recovery of a part of the Generation of ‘98, that had been condemned to ostracism, participated in the awakening of some student community members. We will understand the role that magazines Cátedra (1942-1945), Lazarillo (1943-1944) and Trabajos y Días (1946-1951) had in this movement through a review of the primary sources (the magazines) and cultural studies of the period.

She, her Buried history. The Francoist Repression in the classrooms

2024-04-25T07:46:25+00:00

Francoist repression is still an unresolved issue in our classrooms. To assess this topic, has been studied and analyzed the story of Francoist repression in the history books of the 2nd year of high school in Andalusia. A data collection sheet was prepared and was subsequently applied to the didactic units that address the Civil War, the Franco’s dictatorship and the current democracy in the selected textbooks. It was found that no publisher resolves correctly the inclusion of this issue its textbooks, where numerous deficiencies have been detected on the approach to Francoist repression. Several ideas and proposals have been suggested to include it, in a real way.

The Invisible Threads of History: Exploring the Dynamics of Ancient Societies through Social Network Analysis

2024-02-09T09:17:16+00:00

magine the ancient world as a vibrant tapestry woven with countless threads of relationships among artifacts, individuals, and communities. Social Network Analysis (SNA) offers a lens through which we can explore these intricate connections, transforming static archaeological records into narratives of human interaction. This article gets deep into the application of SNA in archaeology, highlighting how this method allows us to map the hidden networks that shaped past societies. By employing advanced data analysis and visualization techniques, SNA provides powerful methods to uncover the complex web of interactions that influenced the development and transformation of ancient communities. The article not only introduces the theoretical foundations of SNA but also displays its practical applications, presenting a compelling case for its potential to revolutionize archaeological research. Through this tool, we gain new perspectives on the diffusion of artifacts, ideas, and cultural practices, enriching our understanding of human history.

A support network for German submarines in the Canary Islands? Rumours and certainties from the Pamir case.

2024-04-25T10:05:33+00:00

The article studies the case of the German sailing ship Pamir, which took refuge off the Canary Islands coast in the context of the First World War, in relation to the possible support provided to German submarines operating in the area. The analysis of this case allows us to analyse at the same time the Spanish neutrality during the Great War, with an emphasis on the impact that the German submarine war had on the governments in Madrid. The review of the Canarian press of the period and the analysis of archival diplomatic documentation were the primary sources used for this work, and they help to draw the Canary Islands‘ importance for the belligerent powers and the islanders’ interest in the war.

The reflection of the floor plan of the Cathedral of Jaen in America

2024-06-04T18:04:16+00:00

The meeting of architects that took place in 1548 was a turning point in the Cathedral of Jaén, since it was the beginning of the new Renaissance project that gave rise to a floor plan, which, even with Gothic reminiscences, is innovative. Architects and bishops remained faithful to it over time, which made it a well-known project not only in Spain, but also in America, which is why when building a cathedral many of them looked to Jaén, something that is reflected in their plans as we intend to demonstrate in this article.

Diplomatic relations between Spain and Cuba in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba (1976-1981)

2024-01-28T17:06:29+00:00

Inicialmente, se repara en la naturaleza de las relaciones diplomáticas entre España y Cuba durante la década de los 70 y sus motivaciones. Seguidamente, se presta atención a los mecanismos culturales y económicos que explican dicha relación a través de documentación inédita consultada en el Archivo del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Cuba (MINREX), en la ciudad de La Habana (Cuba).

The cartouches in the cartography of the Andalusian territory (16th-17th centuries)

2024-02-18T20:31:51+00:00

The maps are composed of geographical and ornamental elements. The latter, in addition to belonging to the decorative marginality of cartography, transmits a specific message, fulfilling the function for which it was created. At the same time, the types and decoration of cartouche have evolved in parallel with the artistic process prevailing in each historical moment. Throughout the period studied the characteristics of these engravings have been very different both for the ornamental beauty and for the social or political implications they have intended. During this time, all those maps that represented the Andalusian territory were selected, in order to examine the transformation of the cartouche in the same geographical region.

Lawsuit against Brother Lucas in 1675: Life and sodomy of a hermit .

2024-03-20T17:11:07+00:00

The study of the judicial process against Brother Lucas allows us to know in detail an interesting lawsuit for buggery in the Seville Archbishop’s Justice in 1675. Beyond of the analysis, this paper allows us to know the peculiar biography of a sodomy hermit. Likewise, this research addresses the worldview in which Brother Lucas gave meaning to his own sexuality and how throughout his long life he expressed and developed it.
