Sobre el area de dispersion de Artemisia tournefortiana Reich. en la Peninsula Iberica

Al consultar los pliegos de Artemisia L. contenidos en el Herbario BCF, con motivo de la revisión de dicho género en la Península Ibérica, que estamos realizando como tesis doctoral, hemos hallado dos de ellos (BCF n.° 7473 y n.° 7475) recolectados por don Salvador Rivas Goday, el 17 de septiembre de 1948, en Titulcia (MADRID) y determinados como Artemisia variabilis Ten.

La Olimpiada Popular de 1936: deporte y política

Las complejas relaciones entre política y deporte y, más concretamente aún, entre deporte y pulsión nacionalista, son exploradas por el autor a la luz de la Olimpíada Popular de 1936, organizada –y finalmente no celebrada– en la Barcelona inmediatamente anterior al golpe de Estado del 18 de julio como réplica y alternativa a los Juegos Olímpicos que aquel verano se celebraron en Berlín, entonces capital del incipiente Tercer Reich.

The implicit theory of historical change in the work of Alan S. Milward

Alan S. Milward was an economic historian who developed an implicit theory ofhistorical change. His interpretation which was neither liberal nor Marxist positedthat social, political, and economic change, for it to be sustainable, had to be agradual process rather than one resulting from a sudden, cataclysmicrevolutionary event occurring in one sector of the economy or society. Benignchange depended much less on natural resource endowment or technologicaldevelopments than on the ability of state institutions to respond to changingpolitical demands from within each society. State bureaucracies were fundamentalto formulating those political demands and advising politicians of ways to meetthem. Since each society was different there was no single model of developmentto be adopted or which could be imposed successfully by one nation-state onothers, either through force or through foreign aid programs. Nor coulddevelopment be promoted simply by copying the model of a more successfuleconomy. Each nation-state had to find its own response to the political demandsarising from within its society. Integration occurred when a number of nation states shared similar political objectives which they could not meet individuallybut could meet collectively. It was not simply the result of their increasinginterdependence. It was how and whether nation-states responded to thesedomestic demands which determined the nature of historical change.

Història i Comunitat Popular a l’Alemanya Nazi

El projecte pretén esdevenir l’anàlisi sobre quin fou el rol que assumí la història –a nivell institucional, educatiu i popular– en la configuració del Tercer Reich, apuntant doncs principalment a descobrir quina funció va tenir aquesta en la construcció de la nació alemanya durant els anys trenta. La hipòtesi que servirà de punt de partida de la investigació serà concebre que la història es convertí en una eïna que únicament es debia a l’estat per així poder reforçar la construcció del règim nacionalsocialista alemany. L’estudi es dedicarà per tant a haver de demostrar tal afirmació.
