El presente artículo reflexiona acerca de las relaciones existentes entre las esferas de la sociabilidad y la política desde el análisis de situaciones en que ellas confluyeron o se interpusieron en la práctica y los discursos de los dirigentes, militantes y simpatizantes izquierdistas y antifascistas en el interior de la Provincia de Buenos Aires durante los gobiernos de orientación conservadora surgidos en los años '30 y principios de los '40. Con información extraída mayoritariamente de la prensa del interior bonaerense, una fuente en general poco consultada, el texto se propone una mirada que se pose en la complejidad de las relaciones entre militancia, ocio, sociabilidad y política, que no centre únicamente en los aspectos ideológicos, la motorización y existencia de la sociabilidad política. Así, la hipótesis central que ha manejado esta investigación, es que las prácticas de sociabilidad y movilización políticas pueden analizarse en mutua correspondencia, sin remitir su construcción a una recepción unilateral y únicamente constreñida al plano ideológico y sin que su deriva se calque desde la imitación aséptica de los diseños que privilegiadamente proponen los diferentes cenáculos de la dirigencia que pretenden -fracasando necesariamente- conducir de manera total y verticalmente los múltiples fenómenos de actuación política.

En sus Memorabilia, Jenofonte transcribe dos conversaciones mantenidas por Sócrates con un pintor y un escultor. En el presente artículo se analiza el significado de dos términos que aparecen a lo largo de ambos diálogos y que se consideran fundamentales para la teoría griega del arte: ethos y pathos. Ambos aluden a determinados rasgos expresivos susceptibles de ser plasmados en la pintura y en la escultura: el término ethos se refiere a rasgos caracteriológicos intrínsecos y pathos a características extrínsecas y coyunturales. Uno de los puntos más interesantes del texto de Jenofonte es que la noción de mimesis se adscribe a la pintura y la escultura como una característica básica y definitoria. Este concepto de mimesis en el sentido de "imitación" aparece por primera vez aquí como categoría estética dominante.

Der Begriff der Evolution ist nicht nur den Naturwissenschaften, sondern auch den Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften vertraut. Die Konzepte der Variation und der Selektion spielen hier eine Schlüsselrolle. An die Stelle der biologischen Vererbung tritt die Imitation erfolgreicher Vorbilder: Soziale Normen und Institutionen beispielsweise, die erfolgreich zur Lösung von Konflikten beigetragen haben, werden mit höherer Wahrscheinlichkeit kopiert als relativ erfolglose Vorbilder. Treten im Zuge dieses Prozesses Kopierfehler auf oder werden rational geplante Veränderungen vorgenommen, können neue Formen entstehen, die möglicherweise erfolgreicher sind als das Original. Diese Ideen können durch mathematische Formalisierung präzisiert und zugespitzt werden. Die vorliegende Aufsatzsammlung vermittelt ein Bild davon. Die Autoren setzen sich mit spieltheoretischen Modellen, Simulationsmodellen und anderen Methoden der Formalisierung auseinander und beziehen diese auf so unterschiedliche Themenbereiche wie die Entwicklung von Kooperation und Vertrauen, die Evolution von Fairnessnormen, auf wissenschaftlichen Wettbewerb, Gruppenprozesse und die Arbeitsteilung in der Familie.

The city of Malaga underwent considerable growth in the 19th and 20th centuries. The territorial expansion paired with a massive influx of immigrants occurred in three waves and as a consequence the city of Malaga remains divided into three different parts up to today. The differences between these three neighbourhoods of the city lie in the type of houses, different cultural and industrial activities, socioeconomic level, and very interestingly, also in speech. Thus, the aim of this study is an examination of the interrelation between speech (phonetic features) and urban space in Malaga. A combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis was used, based on two types of data: 1) production data stemming from recordings of 120 speakers; 2) perception data (salience, estimated frequency of use, attitude, spatial and social perception, imitation) which was collected from several surveys with 120 participants each. Results show that the speech production data divides the city of Malaga clearly into three different parts. This tripartition is confirmed by the analysis of the perception data. Moreover, the habitants of these three areas are perceived as different social types, to whom a range of social features is attributed. That is, certain linguistic features, the different neighbourhoods of the city and the social characteristics associated with them are undergoing a process of indexicalization and iconization. As a result, the linguistic features in question function as identity markers on the intraurban level.

Identity is a recurrent research interest in current sociolinguistics and it is also of primary interest in digital discourse studies. Identity construction is closely related to stance and style (Eckert 2008; Jaffe 2009), which are fundamental concepts for understanding the language use and its social meanings in the case of social media users from Malaga. As the specific social meanings of a set of dialect features constitute a style, this style and the social (and technological) context in which the variants are used determine the meanings that are actually associated with each variant. Hence, every variant has its own indexical field covering any number of potential meanings. The Spanish spoken in Malaga, as Andalusian Spanish in general, was in the past often times considered an incorrect, low prestige variety of Spanish which was strongly associated with the poor, rural, backward South of Spain. This southern Spanish variety is easily recognised because of its innovative phonetic features that diverge from the national standard. In this study several of these phonetic dialect features are looked at, which users from Malaga purposefully employ (in a textualised form) on social media for identity construction. This identity construction is analysed through interactional and ethnographic methods: A perception and an imitation task served as key data and were supplemented by answers to a series of open questions. Further data stems from visual, multimodal elements (e.g. images, photos, videos) posted by users from the city of Malaga. The program TAMS Analyzer was used for data codification and analysis. Results show that certain features that in spoken language are considered rural and old-fashioned, acquire new meaning on social media, namely of urbanity and fashion. Moreover, these features, if used online, are associated with hipsters. That is, the “cool” social media index the “coolness” of the dialect features in question and, thus, the mediatisation makes their indexical fields even more multi-layered and dynamic. Social media users from Malaga performatively employ these stylised dialect features to project a hipster identity and certain related stances.

This paper sets out to examine how innovation enhances export competitiveness: The proposition that export volume becomes enhanced as more productivity-enhancing innovation is captured by the exporting economy is the focus of this study. From a Schumpeterian perspective, innovation can be characterized by continuous creation and subsequent diffusion of newer technologies on the basis of the exporters' existing capital stock. Then we highlight the theoretical possibility that concentration of innovative activities in a small group of "winner" economies would lead to larger shares of "winner" economies' exports of innovation-active commodities than those commodities for which technology involved is already mature. The world's export data corroborates this theoretical prediction overall, and a focus upon East Asia has revealed the region's increasing resort to technology-intensive commodity sectors, which has presumably been enabled through attracting technology-bearing inward foreign direct investment. Considering the overall gains from innovation, acceleration of full "cycle" of innovation and imitation might be a desirable option.

In the present global era in which firms choose the location of their plants beyond national borders, location characteristics are important for attracting multinational enterprises (MNEs). The better access to countries with large market is clearly attractive for MNEs. For example, special treatments on tariffs such as the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) are beneficial for MNEs whose home country does not have such treatments. Not only such country characteristics but also region characteristics (i.e. province-level or city-level ones) matter, particularly in the case that location characteristics differ widely between a nation's regions. The existence of industrial concentration, that is, agglomeration, is a typical regional characteristic. It is with consideration of these country-level and region-level characteristics that MNEs decide their location abroad. A large number of academic studies have investigated in what kinds of countries MNEs locate, i.e. location choice analysis. Employing the usual new economic geography model (i.e. constant elasticity of substitution (CES) utility function, Dixit-Stiglitz monopolistic competition, and ice-berg trade costs), the literature derives the profit function, of which coefficients are estimated using maximum likelihood procedures. Recent studies are as follows: Head, Rise, and Swenson (1999) for Japanese MNEs in the US; Belderbos and Carree (2002) for Japanese MNEs in China; Head and Mayer (2004) for Japanese MNEs in Europe; Disdier and Mayer (2004) for French MNEs in Europe; Castellani and Zanfei (2004) for large MNEs worldwide; Mayer, Mejean, and Nefussi (2007) for French MNEs worldwide; Crozet, Mayer, and Mucchielli (2004) for MNEs in France; and Basile, Castellani, and Zanfei (2008) for MNEs in Europe. At the present time, three main topics can be found in this literature. The first introduces various location elements as independent variables. The above-mentioned new economic geography model usually yields the profit function, which is a function of market size, productive factor prices, price of intermediate goods, and trade costs. As a proxy for the price of intermediate goods, the measure of agglomeration is often used, particularly the number of manufacturing firms. Some studies employ more disaggregated numbers of manufacturing firms, such as the number of manufacturing firms with the same nationality as the firms choosing the location (e.g., Head et al., 1999; Crozet et al., 2004) or the number of firms belonging to the same firm group (e.g., Belderbos and Carree, 2002). As part of trade costs, some investment climate measures have been examined: free trade zones in the US (Head et al., 1999), special economic zones and opening coastal cities in China (Belderbos and Carree, 2002), and Objective 1 structural funds and cohesion funds in Europe (Basile et al., 2008). Second, the validity of proxy variables for location elements is further examined. Head and Mayer (2004) examine the validity of market potential on location choice. They propose the use of two measures: the Harris market potential index (Harris, 1954) and the Krugman-type index used in Redding and Venables (2004). The Harris-type index is simply the sum of distance-weighted real GDP. They employ the Krugman-type market potential index, which is directly derived from the new economic geography model, as it takes into account the extent of competition (i.e. price index) and is constructed using estimators of importing country dummy variables in the well-known gravity equation, as in Redding and Venables (2004). They find that "theory does not pay", in the sense that the Harris market potential outperforms Krugman's market potential in both the magnitude of its coefficient and the fit of the model to be estimated. The third topic explores the substitution of location by examining inclusive values in the nested-logit model. For example, using firm-level data on French investments both in France and abroad over the 1992-2002 period, Mayer et al. (2007) investigate the determinants of location choice and assess empirically whether the domestic economy has been losing attractiveness over the recent period or not. The estimated coefficient for inclusive value is strongly significant and near unity, indicating that the national economy is not different from the rest of the world in terms of substitution patterns. Similarly, Disdier and Mayer (2004) investigate whether French MNEs consider Western and Eastern Europe as two distinct groups of potential host countries by examining the coefficient for the inclusive value in nested-logit estimation. They confirm the relevance of an East-West structure in the country location decision and furthermore show that this relevance decreases over time. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the location choice of Japanese MNEs in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam, and is closely related to the third topic mentioned above. By examining region-level location choice with the nested-logit model, I investigate the relative importance of not only country characteristics but also region characteristics. Such investigation is invaluable particularly in the case of location choice in those five countries: industrialization remains immature in those countries which have not yet succeeded in attracting enough MNEs, and as a result, it is expected that there are not yet crucial regional variations for MNEs within such a nation, meaning the country characteristics are still relatively important to attract MNEs. To illustrate, in the case of Cambodia and Laos, one of the crucial elements for Japanese MNEs would be that LDC preferential tariff schemes are available for exports from Cambodia and Laos. On the other hand, in the case of Thailand and Vietnam, which have accepted a relatively large number of MNEs and thus raised the extent of regional inequality, regional characteristics such as the existence of agglomeration would become important elements in location choice. Our sample countries seem, therefore, to offer rich variations for analyzing the relative importance between country characteristics and region characteristics. Our empirical strategy has a further advantage. As in the third topic in the location choice literature, the use of the nested-logit model enables us to examine substitution patterns between country-based and region-based location decisions by MNEs in the concerned countries. For example, it is possible to investigate empirically whether Japanese multinational firms consider Thailand/Vietnam and the other three countries as two distinct groups of potential host countries, by examining the inclusive value parameters in nested-logit estimation. In particular, our sample countries all experienced dramatic changes in, for example, economic growth or trade costs reduction during the sample period. Thus, we will find the dramatic dynamics of such substitution patterns. Our rigorous analysis of the relative importance between country characteristics and region characteristics is invaluable from the viewpoint of policy implications. First, while the former characteristics should be improved mainly by central government in each country, there is sometimes room for the improvement of the latter characteristics by even local governments or smaller institutions such as private agencies. Consequently, it becomes important for these smaller institutions to know just how crucial the improvement of region characteristics is for attracting foreign companies. Second, as economies grow, country characteristics become similar among countries. For example, the LCD preferential tariff schemes are available only when a country is less developed. Therefore, it is important particularly for the least developed countries to know what kinds of regional characteristics become important following economic growth; in other words, after their country characteristics become similar to those of the more developed countries. I also incorporate one important characteristic of MNEs, namely, productivity. The well-known Helpman-Melitz-Yeaple model indicates that only firms with higher productivity can afford overseas entry (Helpman et al., 2004). Beyond this argument, there may be some differences in MNEs' productivity among our sample countries and regions. Such differences are important from the viewpoint of "spillover effects" from MNEs, which are one of the most important results for host countries in accepting their entry. The spillover effects are that the presence of inward foreign direct investment (FDI) aises domestic firms' productivity through various channels such as imitation. Such positive effects might be larger in areas with more productive MNEs. Therefore, it becomes important for host countries to know how much productive firms are likely to invest in them. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 takes a brief look at the worldwide distribution of Japanese overseas affiliates. Section 3 provides an empirical model to examine their location choice, and lastly, we discuss future works to estimate our model.

sharedcircuitmodels is presented in this work. The sharedcircuitsmodelapproach of sociocognitivecapacities recently proposed by Hurley in The sharedcircuitsmodel (SCM): how control, mirroring, and simulation can enable imitation, deliberation, and mindreading. Behavioral and Brain Sciences 31(1) (2008) 1–22 is enriched and improved in this work. A five-layer computational architecture for designing artificialcognitivecontrolsystems is proposed on the basis of a modified sharedcircuitsmodel for emulating sociocognitive experiences such as imitation, deliberation, and mindreading. In order to show the enormous potential of this approach, a simplified implementation is applied to a case study. An artificialcognitivecontrolsystem is applied for controlling force in a manufacturing process that demonstrates the suitability of the suggested approach

Fundamento de la tesis: Al comienzo del siglo XX, el interés por el turismo unido a la necesidad de restaurar un abundante patrimonio histórico, posibilitó en España que los poderes públicos se embarcaran en una singular experiencia: la creación de una infraestructura hotelera a partir de la rehabilitación de edificios históricos. La preservación, mantenimiento e incluso rentabilidad de una gran parte del patrimonio español se haría efectiva a través de la innovadora fórmula patrimonio‐turismo, cuya máxima expresión se materializó en la Red de Paradores desde su fundación en la segunda década del siglo pasado hasta nuestros días. Sorprendentemente, este tema no ha sido todavía investigado en su vertiente arquitectónica pese a que España ha sido pionera y modelo en la cuestión de la hotelería pública. Este trabajo aborda el estudio del caso más significativo de todos los edificios de la red, en tanto que el patrimonio que ha servido de base a los fines hoteleros del Estado ha contado con un total de seis tipos arquitectónicos a lo largo de su historia, dentro de los cuales la arquitectura militar despunta con su mayoritaria presencia dentro del contexto de los edificios históricos de la red. El carácter arquetípico de los castillos y fortalezas, arraigado en el inconsciente colectivo, les hizo especialmente atractivos como alojamiento turístico al permitir evocar la remota época medieval, pese a ser el tipo arquitectónico más comprometido para la rehabilitación hotelera. El estudio de las intervenciones operadas en estos inmuebles se revela de forma clara como escaparate de los distintos criterios de intervención patrimonial que se han sucedido en el siglo XX, hasta enlazar con la perspectiva interdisciplinar actual. La tesis abarca en, primer lugar, diferentes aspectos generales relativos al promotor hotelero, la hotelería pública de ámbito nacional e internacional, y la caracterización de los inmuebles de la red estatal española, desde el punto de vista hotelero y arquitectónico, entendida esta última en sus tres escalas de influencia: la arquitectónica, la urbana o paisajística, y la del interiorismo. Se analiza en segundo término la arquitectura militar dentro del contexto de la Red de Paradores, desde la consideración de su transformación hotelera, para lo cual ha sido necesario realizar una clasificación propia, que abarca tanto edificios que respondieron a una estructura de cuartel, como castillos‐palacio, o fortalezas que habían servido a los fines de una orden religiosa militar, además de considerarse las intervenciones en recintos históricos de carácter militar, donde se hacía obligatorio construir de nueva planta. En tercer y último lugar, se analiza a lo largo de las distintas etapas del organismo turístico las rehabilitaciones realizadas en estas construcciones militares, a la vez que se tienen en cuenta las intervenciones en los restantes edificios históricos, para evitar la descontextualización. Este recorrido comienza con la promoción de los dos primeros paradores a cargo del Comisario Regio, el marqués de la Vega‐Inclán, que sirvieron para sentar las bases de los conceptos e ideas que habrían de desarrollarse en las siguientes décadas. Posteriormente, se desarrolló y tomó forma la red con el Patronato Nacional del Turismo, en la que las primeras intervenciones en tipos militares se tradujeron en reformas interiores de locales. La etapa clave de la red, y en particular de la arquitectura militar, tuvo lugar con el Ministerio de Información y Turismo, marcada por la “repristinación” de monumentos, tras un período preparatorio con la Dirección General del Turismo en el que lo militar había quedado de telón de fondo de otros tipos arquitectónicos. Tras el auge del Ministerio llegó el período de decadencia en el que los castillos y fortalezas desaparecieron de los intereses de las Secretarias de Turismo, hasta llegar a las inauguraciones de los novedosos establecimientos del siglo XXI y el resurgimiento del tipo militar con el parador de Lorca. Metodología empleada: Este trabajo de investigación se ha servido fundamentalmente de documentación inédita, procedente de diversos archivos, además de una muy extensa toma de datos in situ. Dentro del patrimonio analizado, los inmuebles que responden al tipo arquitectónico militar se han dividido en tres grandes grupos: inmuebles rehabilitados que entraron en funcionamiento en la red, inmuebles en proceso de transformación hotelera, e inmuebles que fueron adquiridos con fines hoteleros pero que no llegaron a rehabilitarse. Para cada uno de ellos ha sido necesario determinar en qué estado llegaron a manos de la Administración Turística, cuál fue el mecanismo a través del cual se adquirieron, en qué consistió su primera rehabilitación hotelera, y cuáles fueron las ampliaciones o reformas más significativas que se realizaron posteriormente. Estos datos se han sintetizado en fichas y se han extraído conclusiones al comparar cada unidad con el conjunto. Simultáneamente se introdujeron dos factores externos: la historia del turismo que permitió hacer una ordenación cronológica de los inmuebles según etapas, y la historia de la teoría y práctica de la intervención patrimonial en España que permitió comparar los criterios patrimoniales de la Administración competente respecto de las intervenciones de la Administración Turística, cuyo contacto se haría obligatorio a partir del Decreto, de 22 de abril de 1949, que dejaba bajo la tutela del Estado a todos los castillos y fortalezas. Aportación de la tesis: Con carácter general, la tesis centra una ordenación y sistematización completa del patrimonio inmobiliario de la red, desde el punto de vista de los tipos hoteleros y arquitectónicos, además de poner por primera vez en conexión distintos modelos de hotelería pública, para constituirse en el sustrato de futuras investigaciones. El estudio realizado se ha hecho extensivo a las distintas escalas que inciden de forma interconectada en la implantación de un parador: la arquitectónica, la urbana y la del interiorismo, hasta ahora referenciado desde la exclusiva visión arquitectónica. Se han definido las etapas de la historia de la red, no ya sólo a partir del hilo conductor de la cadena sucesiva de organismos turísticos, sino que por primera vez se hace en razón de la evolución que sufren las intervenciones patrimoniales a lo largo del tiempo, a la vez que se entra en conexión con la teoría y praxis de la restauración monumental. Con carácter particular, la arquitectura militar dentro del contexto de los paradores se destaca en el período del Ministerio, en el que se experimentaron todas las posibilidades que presentaba su rehabilitación. En este sentido se ha puesto de manifiesto en este trabajo un tipo híbrido de parador, a caballo entre la rehabilitación y la edificación de nueva planta, las dos formas básicas de establecimiento creadas en la Comisaría Regia, al que se ha denominado edificación de nueva planta en recinto histórico militar. Esta nueva caracterización se ha valorado como la forma más eficiente de implantar paradores, cuyas pautas arquitectónicas abarcaron un abanico de posibilidades: imitación de modelos arquitectónicos históricos con utilización de elementos patrimoniales prestados que dieran el valor de la historia, utilización de un lenguaje moderno, o la inspiración en la arquitectura vernácula. La amalgama de elementos, estilos e intervenciones sucesivas de ampliación fue la característica común tanto para la implantación de un parador en un edificio como en un recinto amurallado. La arquitectura militar transformada en establecimiento hotelero evidencia la vocación escenográfica de las intervenciones patrimoniales, secundada por el interiorismo, además de su aportación a la arquitectura hotelera en lo referente al confort, organización y funcionamiento de sus instalaciones. La tesis ahonda en los diversos aspectos de la rehabilitación hotelera apuntados de forma parcial por algunos autores, y pone de manifiesto la “ambientación medieval” operada en la arquitectura militar, que llegó a tener su máxima expresión con el criterio de la “unidad de estilo” del Ministerio de Información y Turismo. La rehabilitación hotelera dentro del contexto de la Red de Paradores, queda caracterizada en la tesis en relación a intervenciones en construcciones militares, cuya sistematización puede ser extrapolable a otros tipos arquitectónicos o cadenas hoteleras de titularidad pública, a partir del estudio que se ha avanzado en este trabajo. Thesis basis: At the beginning of the 20th century the interest in tourism added to the plentiful heritage in Spain enabled the authorities to embark on a singular experience: the creation of a hotel infrastructure from the restoration of historic buildings. Preservation, maintenance, and even profitability of a large part of the Spanish heritage would be effective through the innovative formula heritage-tourism. Its greatest expression materialized in the Paradores Network since its foundation in last century’s second decade to the present day. Surprisingly, this subject has not yet been investigated in its architectural aspect, even though Spain has been a pioneer and a model in the matter of public hotel business. This project tackles the study of the most significative case of all the network’s buildings, since the heritage which has served throughout history as a base for the State hotel purposes has altogether six architectural types, among which military architecture stands out with its majority presence in the context of the historical buildings of the network. The archetypal character of castles and fortresses, ingrained in the collective subconscious, made them specially attractive for tourist accommodation, as it allowed the evocation of far medieval times, despite being the most awkward architectural type for hotel restoration. The study of the interventions in these buildings clearly reveals itself as a showcase of the different criteria of heritage intervention along the 20th century, connecting to the present interdisciplinary perspective. Firstly, the thesis covers different general aspects regarding the hotel developer, the domestic and international public hotel business, and the description of the Spanish state network buildings from a hotel business and an architectural point of view, the latter from its three influence scales: architectural, urban or landscape, and interior design. Secondly, the transformation of the military architecture in the Paradores Network into hotels is analyzed. For that purpose it was necessary to create a specific classification, which included barrack-structured buildings, castle-palaces, or fortresses which served the purposes of military-religious orders. The interventions in those military historical places where new building became compulsory were also taken into consideration. Thirdly and lastly, the thesis analyses the restorations in these military constructions through the different stages of the tourist organization. In order to avoid decontextualization, interventions in other historical buildings were also considered. This route begins with the promotion of the two first Paradores by the Royal Commissioner, the marquis of Vega-Inclán, which paved the way for the concepts and ideas that were developed in the following decades. Subsequently, the network was developed and took shape with the National Tourism Board. The first interventions on military types were inside refurbishments. The Network’s key period, and in particular of its military architecture, took place with the Ministry of Information and Tourism, a time marked by the “restoration to its original state” of monuments. This stage arrived after a preparatory period with the State Tourist Office, when the military type was left as a backdrop for other architectural types. After the Ministry’s boom arrived a decline, in which castles and fortresses disappeared from the Tourist Department’s interests up to the opening of the 21st century new establishments and the resurgence of the military type with Lorca’s Parador. Methodology: The present research project has mainly used unpublished documentation from several archives and has done an extensive in situ data-gathering. Within the heritage analyzed, military buildings have been divided into three main groups: restored buildings that began to operate in the network, those in process of hotel transformation, and those acquired for hotel purposes, but which did not become restored. In each case, it has been necessary to determine the condition in which they arrived to the Tourist Administration, the procedure by which they were acquired, what their first hotel restoration consisted of, and which their subsequent most significative enlargements and alterations were. These facts have been synthesized in cards, and conclusions were drawn by comparing each unit with the whole. Simultaneously, two external factors were introduced: the history of tourism, that allowed establishing a chronological order according to different periods, and the history of Spanish heritage intervention’s theory and practice, that permitted to compare the heritage criteria from the competent Administration with those of the Tourist Administration’s interventions. Both Administrations came compulsorily into contact after the Decree of 22nd April 1949, by which all castles and fortresses became under the protection of the State. Thesis contribution: In general, the thesis focuses on a complete order and systematization of the network’s heritage buildings from the hotel and architectural types points of view, besides connecting for the first time different public hotel business models, becoming the substratum for future investigations. The study has included the different scales that impact interconnected on the establishment of a Parador: architectural, urban and interior design, only referenced to date from an architectural point of view. The Network’s history stages have been defined according to not only a consecutive series of tourist organizations, but also, and for the first time, to the evolution of heritage interventions over time, thus connecting with the theory and praxis of monumental restoration. In particular, within the Paradores, military architecture stands out in the Ministry’s period, in which all kind of restoration possibilities were explored. In this sense, the present project puts forth a hybrid type of Parador between restoration and new building, the two basic ways of establishment created in the Royal Commission, termed new building in military historic enclosure. This new characterization has been evaluated as the most efficient for establishing Paradores, whose architectonic guidelines include a wide range of possibilities: the imitation of historical architectonic models with use of borrowed heritage components that provide historical value, the use of modern language, or the inspiration in vernacular architecture. The amalgam of elements, styles and consecutive enlargement interventions was the common feature of the establishment of a Parador, both in a building or in a walled enclosure. The military architecture transformed into a hotel establishment gives proof of the scenographic vocation of heritage interventions, supported by interior design, as well as of its contribution to hotel architecture, related to its comfort, organization and the functioning of its facilities. The thesis delves into the diverse aspects of hotel restoration, partially pointed out by several authors, and puts forth the creation of a “medieval atmosphere” in military architecture, which came to its highest expression with the “unitary style” criteria of the Ministry of Information and Tourism. Hotel restoration within the context of the Paradores’ Network is defined in this thesis in relation to interventions in military constructions, whose systemization can be extrapolative to other architectural types or public hotel chains, based on the study which has been put forward in this project.

Resumen El Diseño, que apenas está considerado en las políticas de desarrollo, por su parte tampoco ha prestado la adecuada atención a los aspectos de justicia y de desarrollo global. Encontramos los antecedentes del Diseño para el Desarrollo en la “transferencia de tecnología y en la imitación”; en las “tecnologías apropiadas” de los años 70; en la moda de hacer negocios para la “base de la pirámide (BoP)”; más recientemente en el concepto de “innovación apropiada”; y últimamente en el “enfoque de las capacidades”, que engloba cuestiones sobre justicia, igualdad y desarrollo. En este artículo de revisión se realiza una aproximación a la situación actual del Diseño para el Desarrollo, incluyendo productos e iniciativas empresariales, académicas e investigadoras. Para ello, se ha realizado una revisión en buscadores generalistas y en publicaciones especializadas, accesibles desde la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Los resultados obtenidos abarcan desde productos comerciales, repositorios en línea de tecnologías de desarrollo, documentación abierta para el diseño/adaptación de productos para el desarrollo, conferencias, revistas, grupos de investigación, iniciativas emprendedoras, etc. Se trata de un tema que no tiene una univoca expresión y que está siendo tratado en muchas áreas, tanto de las ciencias sociales, como técnicas y sanitarias. Abstract The design, which is hardly considered in development policies, has not paid adequate attention to justice and global development issues. The antecedents of Design for Development are found in the "technology transfer and imitation"; in "appropriate technologies" of the 70s; in the fashion of doing business for the "base of the pyramid (BoP)"; more recently in the concept of "appropriate innovation"; and lately in the "capabilities approach" which includes questions about justice, equality and development. In this article review is performed an approach to the current situation of Design for Development including: products, business models and academic and research perspectives. In order to achieve it, the review has been conducted through search engines in generic and specialized publications, accessible from the Polytechnic University of Madrid. The results obtained include from commercial products, online repository development technologies, open documentation for design / adaptation of products for development, to conferences, journals, research groups, entrepreneurial initiatives, etc. This is a topic that has no unambiguous expression and that is being addressed in many areas, as in the social sciences and technical and health sciences. Resumo O projeto, que dificilmente pode ser considerada nas políticas de desenvolvimento, enquanto isso não prestou a atenção suficiente às questões da justiça e do desenvolvimento global. Encontramos a história do Projeto para o Desenvolvimento na "transferência de tecnologia e na imitação"; em "tecnologias apropriadas" dos anos 70; na forma de fazer negócios para a "base da pirâmide (BoP)"; mais recentemente, o conceito de "inovação apropriado"; e, ultimamente, a "abordagem de capacidades", que inclui perguntas sobre justiça, igualdade e desenvolvimento. Neste artigo de revisão existe uma abordagem para a situação atual do projeto de desenvolvimento, incluindo produtos e iniciativas empresariais, acadêmicos e investigadoras. Para isso, realizamos uma revisão nos motores de busca gerais e publicações especializadas, acessível a partir da Universidade Politécnica de Madrid. Os resultados variam de produtos comerciais tecnologias de desenvolvimento repositório on-line, documentação aberta para o projeto / adaptação de produtos para o desenvolvimento, conferências, revistas, grupos de pesquisa, iniciativas empresariais, etc. Este é um tema que não tem um só significado e que esta sendo tratado em muitas áreas, tanto nas ciências sociais, como técnicas e sanitarias.

La presente tesis analiza el resultado de tratar con una plancha caliente la superficie de un estuco de cal, en estado fresco. El estuco a fuego –nombre que recibe la técnica actualmente en desuso- fue muy valorada en un pasado relativamente reciente, de forma que actualmente aparece ciertamente mitificada y sin caracterizar, habiéndose perdido prácticamente su técnica de ejecución. En el capítulo 1 se exponen las hipótesis y objetivos de la investigación realizada, y el e interés y oportunidad de la tesis. En el capítulo 2 se analizan los antecedentes y usos históricos de los estucos, con especial dedicación a los de cal y más concretamente los “planchados” o "al fuego", que son el tema central de esta tesis. Tras un detallado análisis de la bibliografía actual y de la época, se exponen las contradicciones que sobre este acabado se deducen de los diferentes autores consultados. También se sitúa cronológicamente la técnica, en un intento siempre difícil de poner límites a un proceso continuo. Se propone finalmente una técnica de ejecución que, tomando las descripciones más coherentes y creíbles, y mejor contrastadas de los diferentes autores, recupera la técnica perdida, lo que se prueba mediante las correspondientes "ejecuciones piloto". En el capítulo 3 se expone la metodología experimental seguida para caracterizar el efecto de la aplicación de la plancha caliente sobre el estuco de cal: en primer lugar se recuperará en taller el proceso de ejecución a partir de la bibliografía revisada, tomando las descripciones más coherentes y mejor contrastadas de los diferentes autores; posteriormente, se analiza el único caso conocido de esta técnica en el que ha sido posible sacar probetas; a continuación se contrastarán ambas informaciones con objeto de validar el proceso llevado a cabo; por último se proponen los ensayos realizados a las muestras de laboratorio hechas con la técnica recuperada y comparada con el caso real. En el capítulo 4 se lleva a la práctica lo desarrollado en el capítulo anterior, principalmente para determinar los posibles cambios en la superficie acabada, así como en su absorción de agua, brillo, dureza, y porosidad superficial del estuco. Los resultados obtenidos son objeto de análisis y de comparación. Toda la información estudiada hace posible las conclusiones que aparecen el capítulo 5 y que delimitan claramente el efecto que provoca el uso de la plancha caliente sobre el acabado en varios aspectos: economía en el proceso, mejora de los efectos de imitación de mármol y aumento de las propiedades físicas solicitadas a un revestimiento continuo de estas características. Termina el capítulo proponiendo unas cuestiones como futuras líneas de desarrollo de la investigación. ABSTRACT This thesis analyzes the result of dealing with a hot iron the surface of a plaster of lime, fresh state. The stucco fire-name receiving the technique in disuse today- was highly valued in the relatively recent past, so now certainly appears mystified and uncharacterized, having almost lost his playing technique. In Chapter 1 the assumptions and objectives of the research are presented, and the interest and opportunity of the thesis. In chapter 2 the background and historical uses of stucco, with particular attention to the lime and more specifically the "pressed" or "Fire", which are the focus of this thesis are discussed. After a detailed analysis of the current literature and the time, the contradictions that this finish is derived from the different authors consulted are exposed. Also it is situated chronologically the technique, in an always difficult to set limits to a continuous attempt. A technique of execution, taking the most consistent and credible descriptions, and better contrasting of different authors, recovers lost art, which is proved by the corresponding "pilot runs" was finally proposed. In Chapter 3 the experimental methodology to characterize the effect of the application of the hot iron on the lime stucco is exposed: first workshop will recover in the implementation process from the literature reviewed, taking the most consistent descriptions and better contrasted different authors; then it is analyzed the only known case in which this technique has been possible to take samples; then both information will be compared in order to validate the process undertaken; Finally tests performed at the laboratory samples made with the technique recovered and compared with the real case are proposed. Chapter 4 takes practice what it was developed in the previous chapter, mainly to determine possible changes in the finished surface as well as water absorption, gloss, hardness, surface porosity from the stucco. The results are analyzed and compared. All information makes possible to study the conclusions that appear on Chapter 5 and clearly define the effect caused by the use of the hot iron on the finish in several aspects: economy in the process, enhancing the effects of marble imitation and increased physical properties applied to a continuous coating of these features. Chapter finalizes proposing some issues and future lines of research and development.
