Del historicismo a la hermeneutica:La recepción de Dilthey

El análisis de la recepción de la obra de Dilthey en la hermenéutica gadamerianapermite no sólo el acercamiento a la obra de estos dos autores, sino también esbozar elmapa de los problemas teóricos que caracterizan la transición del siglo XIX al XX, mapa enel que destaca la cuestión relativa a la relación de la filosofía con su historia. El objetivode este ensayo es clarificar qué tipo de presencia tiene Dilthey en la obra de Gadamer, paraquien no es un interlocutor más: la propuesta hermenéutica es una respuesta a los problemasque Dilthey plantea; en esta propuesta, el reconocimiento de Heidegger como referentefundamental se lleva a cabo en un campo de intereses compartido con Dilthey queproporciona elementos necesarios para hacer de la conciencia histórica "conciencia de lahistoria efectual".

The work of Spanish men. A quantitative analysis based on census data, 1900-1970

This paper presents a historical examination of employment in old age in Spain, in order to characterize this labour segment and identify and analyse its specific problems. One of these problems is the life-cycle deskilling process, already shown for certain national cases. This study explores whether this hypothesis also holds in Spain. The perspective used is essentially quantitative, as our analysis is based on the age-profession tables in Spanish population censuses from 1900 to 1970.

Agglomeration and labour productivity in Spanish industry: a long-term analysis

This paper analyzes the relationship between spatial density of economic activity and interregional differences in the productivity of industrial labour in Spain during the period 1860-1999. In the spirit of Ciccone and Hall (1996) and Ciccone (2002), we analyze the evolution of this relationship over the long term in Spain. Using data on the period 1860-1999 we show the existence of an agglomeration effect linking the density of economic activity with labour productivity in the industry. This effect was present since the beginning of the industrialization process in the middle of the 19th century but has been decreasing over time. The estimated elasticity of labour productivity with respect to employment density was close to 8% in the subperiod 1860-1900, reduces to a value of around 7% in the subperiod 1914-1930, to 4% in the subperiod 1965-1979 and becomes insignificant in the final subperiod 1985-1999. At the end of the period analyzed there is no evidence of the existence of net agglomeration effects in the industry. This result could be explained by an important increase in the congestion effects in large industrial metropolitan areas that would have compensated the centripetal or agglomeration forces at work. Furthermore, this result is also consistent with the evidence of a dispersion of industrial activity in Spain during the last decades.

A comparison of the processes of institutionalisation of political economy in Spain and Italy (1860-1900)

[spa] El estudio de los procesos a través de los cuales la economía política se ha transformado en una disciplina académica es un área de creciente interés en la historia del pensamiento económico. Dicho estudio se ha abordado a través del análisis de la importancia de la economía política en un conjunto de instituciones, consideradas clave en la expansión de la economía en las sociedades occidentales en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y primeras décadas del XX: universidades, sociedades económicas, publicaciones periódicas de contenido económico y los parlamentos nacionales. Este papel presenta una comparación entre los desarrollos del proceso de institutionalización de la economía política en España e Italia, a través del estudio de la presencia de esta disciplina en las instituciones mencionadas para el periodo 1860-1900. El objetivo es medir la posible existencia de una vía común en la institucionalización de la economía política en ambos países, como un primer paso hacia la elaboración de un modelo supranacional de institucionalización de la economía en este periodo.

Órfãos tutelados nas malhas do judiciário (Bragança-SP, 1871-1900)

Este artigo analisa autos de tutoria e contrato de órfãos pobres e desvalidos, entre 1871 e 1900, do Poder Judiciário da Comarca de Bragança Paulista, e identifica situações que envolvem exploração do trabalho de menores de idade, violência e maus-tratos. São rastreadas as iniciativas educacionais para esse grupo de crianças e adolescentes, associadas às relações de trabalho que se estabeleceram entre elas e seus tutores. Com base nas práticas da administração da Justiça, uma vez que os órfãos ficavam sob sua jurisdição, verifica-se de que forma se processava o acesso à educação dos menores e os mecanismos de controle sobre a infância pobre no momento de conformação do trabalho assalariado no país. Notadamente, é nessa época que crianças e adolescentes pobres, desvalidos, passam a ser vistos mais pontualmente. Isso porque a crença no trabalho para as classes pobres, a fim de evitar a marginalidade, ia ao encontro do discurso da carência de mão de obra, relacionado às visões sobre o trabalho que estavam sendo construídas no momento da abolição/imigração.
