Análisis y clasificación de la vegetación leñosa de Galicia (España)

Después de los ensayos anteriores, de los que se hace un análisis histórico, de definir la diversidad de la vegetación gallega se propone una nueva ordenación basada en criterios actuales (florísticos, sucesionales, corológicos, respecto al Código de Nomenclatura Fitosociológica). El análisis se limita, en este caso, a las comunidades leñosas comprendidas en las clases Alnetea glutinosae, Calluno-Ulicetea, Cisto-Lavanduletea, Cytisetea scopario-striati, Pino-Juniperetea, Quercetea ilicis, Querco-Fagetea, Rhamno-Prunetea, Salicetea purpureae y Vaccinio-Piceetea, con un total de 65 asociaciones. Cada clase lleva una pequeña descripción que incluye su distribución en el territorio, las especies representativas y un comentario de sus afinidades con otras clases. Tras cada asociación aceptada se relacionan las tablas o grupos de inventarios gallegos que se asimilan a la misma con indicación del nombre originalmente osado y la referencia bibliográfica correspondiente.

1. Oxalidi latifoliae-Veronicetum persicae Br.-Bl. 1967 corr. Loidi, nombre correcto en contra del CNF

LAINZ, Collect. Bot. Barcelona 5 (3): 684, y DÍAZ GONZÁLEZ. Rev. Fac. Cienc. Oviedo, 15 (2): 482). Subsiguientemente, propuso el nombre Oxalidi latifoliae-Veronicetum persicae Br-Rl. 1967 corr.

A History of Women in Ireland, 1500-1800

The first general survey of the history of women in early modern Ireland. Based on an impressive range of source material, it presents the results of original research into women’s lives and experiences in Ireland from 1500 to 1800. This was a time of considerable change in Ireland as English colonisation, religious reform and urbanisation transformed society on the island. Gaelic society based on dynastic lordships and Brehon Law gave way to an anglicised and centralised form of government and an English legal system.

'Dare the boist'rous main': the role of the Belfast Newsletter in the process of emigration from Ulster to North America 1760-1800

Before the mass migrations from Ireland in the nineteenth century, earlier waves of migration in the eighteenth century saw significant numbers of people leave Ireland, predominantly from Ulster, to settle in North America. This article, using as its principal data source the Belfast News Letter ( BNL), its letters, advertisements and reports, focuses firstly on reconstructing the late eighteenth-century migration process and voyage, highlighting the barriers represented by the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to the challenges of the sea, there were problems with the ships, the ever-present danger of disease and also threats from other vessels, from privateers to press gangs. The voyage was recognized as a ‘universal dread’, and the risks taken to ‘dare the boist’rous main’ were perhaps not minimized in the pages of the BNL, whose editorial stance was antipathetic to the migration for the potential harm it caused to Ulster by removing so many of its industrious young. The second part of this article goes on to consider the newspaper’s and others’ vested interests in the emigration process, demonstrates how these were manifested in the press and sets the coverage of this very significant early emigration flow within the context of contemporary religious and colonial discourses at a period of very lively transatlantic interactions.

The “re-socialization” of Gypsy women in the literacy courses aimed to the recipients of the Social Integration Revenue Policy of the Region of Madrid

This article studies the gender values that are promoted both in the literacy courses for gypsy women beneficiaries of the Social Integration Revenue Policy of the Region of Madrid and in the events that are organized for this group by public institutions and NGOs. The process of “socialization” that occurs in the educative groups for Gypsy women is focused on constructing an image of what it is to be a “Gypsy modern woman”. Through multiple mechanisms and discursive techniques a specific conception of gender equality is transmitted in these educative spaces. In addition to this, Gypsy women are continually urged to assume certain values and social practices (of gender identity, of "citizenship", of parenting, etc..), while an archetype of "Gypsy Woman" which condenses powerful stereotypes and prejudices about the "Gypsy culture" and the gender relations characteristics of this group is constructed.
