Sebastià Juan Arbó, autotraductor: de terres de l'Ebre (1932) a Tierras del Ebro (1940)

Sebastià Juan Arbó (1902-1984) era un escriptor en llengua catalana fins a la Guerra Civil espanyola. Arran del desenllaç de la guerra, Arbó va esdevenir un escriptor tant en llengua catalana com en llengua castellana. Aquest pas d’una llengua a una altra va tenir un pas intermedi: l’autotraducció. A partir de la seva primera autotraducció al castellà (Tierras del Ebro, 1940), Sebastià Juan Arbó es va introduir en les lletres castellanes. Aquesta tasca autotraductora, que encetà el 1940, no l’abandonà en la resta de la seva obra catalana i mai no l’exercí en la seva obra escrita originalment en llengua castellana.Amb aquest treball de recerca es vol establir, en primer lloc, un mètode d’anàlisi per a l’autotraducció de Terres de l’Ebre, de Sebastià Juan Arbó, que pugui ser exportable a l’anàlisi d’altres autotraduccions, i, en segon lloc, analitzar un fragment de les primeres edicions en català (1932) i castellà (1940) de Terres de l’Ebre, que permeti reconèixer-hi les tendències autotraductores de Sebastià Juan Arbó.

Growing at the production frontier. European aggregate growth, 1870-1914

The view of a 1870-1913 expanding European economy providing increasing welfare to everybody has been challenged by many, then and now. We focus on the amazing growth that was experienced, its diffusion and its sources, in the context of the permanent competition among European nation states. During 1870-193 the globalized European economy reached a silver age . GDP growth was quite rapid (2.15% per annum) and diffused all over Europe. Even discounting the high rates of population growth (1.06%), per capita growth was left at a respectable 1.08%. Income per capita was rising in every country, and the rates of improvement were quite similar. This was a major achievement after two generations of highly localized growth, both geographically and socially. Growth was based on the increased use of labour and capital, but a good part of growth (73 per cent for the weighted average of the best documented European countries) came out of total factor productivity efficiency gains resulting from not well specified ultimate sources of growth. This proportion suggests that the European economy was growing at full capacity at its production frontier. It would have been very difficult to improve its performance. Within Europe, convergence was limited, and it only was in motion after 1900. What happened was more the end of the era of big divergence rather than an era of convergence.

Foreign trade traps in the european periphery: Spain, 1870-1913

In this article we research into the difficulties that foreign trade imposed onSpanish process of integration into the international economy in the years priorto the First World War. We start out by examining some features of the foreigntrade structure of the country. By means of an econometric analysis of importand export series, it is possible to observe the presence of a trend towards tradedeficit, which was in force when Spain grew at a rate similar to that of itstrading partners. We also check that, in the absence of these compensatorymechanisms, adjustment in foreign payments could be reached by means ofprotective measures and the exchange rate.

Networks of people in specialty production: family firms in the iron and steel Wire industries in Spain (1870-2000)

Capital intensive industries in specialized niches of production have constituted solid ground for family firms in Spain , as evidenced by the experience of the iron and steel wire industries between 1870 and 2000. The embeddedness of these firms in their local and regional environments have allowed the creation of networks that, together with favourable institutional conditions, significantly explain the dominance of family entrepreneurship in iron and steel wire manufacturing in Spain, until the end of the 20 th century. Dominance of family firms at the regional level has not been not an obstacle for innovation in wire manufacturing in Spain, which has taken place even when institutional conditions blocked innovation and traditional networking. Therefore, economic theories about the difficulties dynastic family firms may have to perform appropriately in science-based industries must be questioned

Cultura y espiritualidad en la edad moderna valenciana: Juan de Juanes y el ostensorio bifaz de la iglesia parroquial de San Andrés de L'Alcúdia.

En este artículo, partiendo de las pinturas de Juan de Juanes en l¿Alcúdia, analizamos las cuestiones sociales que pudieron incidir en su producción artística, iconografía y difusión dentro del ámbito valenciano. La posible influencia del erasmismo, la filosofía intimista, la cristología de Eiximenis o el adoctrinamiento a los moriscos son algunos aspectos sobre los que centramos nuestra reflexión.

Contreras Cortés, Francisco y Cámara Serrano, Juan Antonio: La jerarquización social en la Edad del Bronce del Alto Guadalquivir (España). El poblado de Peñalosa (Baños de la Encina, Jaén)

La denominada cultura argárica ha sido desde siempre uno de los focos más atractivos de la Prehistoria peninsular. El libro que tenemos entre las manos aporta un grano de arena más al conocimiento de esta cultura, pero atendiendo a uno de los grupos geográficamente más periféricos, lo que complementa los trabajos que desde mucho tiempo atrás se vienen realizando en diversos puntos del SE peninsular, área nuclear de este fenómeno.

Pere Bosch Gimpera y Juan Cabré. La pugna por el control de las excavaciones en San Antonio de Calaceite y el Bajo Aragón (1914-1916) y su influencia en la creación del Servei d"Investigacions Arqueològiques del IEC

En la historiografía de la investigación sobre la cultura ibérica, el poblado de San Antonio el Pobre (Calaceite) va indeleblemente unido a las intervenciones del Institut d¿Estudis Catalans (IEC) y a la figura de Pere Bosch Gimpera, sin duda el prehistoriador español de mayor prestigio hasta el final de la guerra civil. Sin embargo, es significativo que dicho conocimiento se deba más a trabajos aislados y a la recuperación de sus diarios de excavación realizada por Francisca Pallarés Salvador en 1958, que a la publicación de una serie de monografías que recogiera sus trabajos en el área entre 1914 y 1923.

El profesor Juan Maluquer de Motes y la investigación protohistórica en el curso inferior del río Ebro

La publicación en 1954 y 1958 de los Estudios Críticos 1 y JI dedicados al poblado de la primera Edad del Hierro del Alto de la Cruz (Cortes de Navarra) supuso, sin ningún género de dudas, el arranque de la sistematización de la secuencia cultural y poblacional del área del valle medio del Ebro en el período correspondiente al Bronce Final y las fases más antiguas de la Edad del Hierro.

El profesor Juan Maluquer de Motes y los estudios sobre Tartessos

La investigación sobre Tartessos fue siempre una de la líneas de trabajo favoritas del Prof. Maluquer de Motes, quien, en el momento de definir la que constituyó su última gran línea de investigación, el programa PIP (Programa de Investigación Protohistórica), prestó una especial atención al estudio de las comunidades prerromanas de Andalucía y Extremadura, especialmente tartesias e iberas, destacando entre los trabajos publicados en este marco las intervenciones de Ma . E. Aubet en la necrópolis de Setefilla (Lora del Río, Sevilla), y del propio Maluquer de Motes en el palacio-santuario de Cancho Roano (Zalamea de la Serena, Badajoz).
