Lessons of Loss

Lessons of Loss consists of four poems and four personal essays, each dealing with a profound loss in my life. I am forever in pursuit of the mastery of hope, and writing serves as a critical vehicle in moving me through grief towards that beacon of hope. In the most difficult times, I seek comfort from the writings of those who have endured loss with a sense of humility and grace. To express my gratitude to those who have provided me with comfort and direction, I strive to master Lessons of Loss so that someday I might provide some flicker of hope to those in search of solace.

La calle rojinegra. Anarcosindicalismo, rituales de movilización y símbolos en el espacio público (1931-1936)

Este artículo se centra en el análisis de la tipología, características y evolución de algunos de los diversos rituales de movilización y símbolos desplegados en el espacio público por las distintas organizaciones y núcleos de militantes de signo confederal y anarquista en España durante los años de la Segunda República, antes del estallido de la sublevación militar de julio de 1936. Entre ellos: huelgas, insurrecciones revolucionarias, mítines, manifestaciones, excursiones, entierros de militantes, etc. El propósito de estas acciones era claro: tanto la cohesión y reafirmación identitaria internas, como la proyección externa del movimiento. Con estas estrategias de acción colectiva, que suponían una “salida” al espacio público, se trataba de hacer visible allí la fuerza del movimiento y reafirmar la presencia física de este, sus reivindicaciones y aspiraciones. Esta visibilidad se reforzaba mediante el despliegue de los símbolos propios: himnos, canciones, banderas, etc.

La necrópolis de El Castillo (Castejón, Navarra). Vajilla e instrumental metálico de sacrificio y banquete en el valle medio del Ebro (S. VI – III a. C.)

El presente estudio tiene por objeto estudiar y analizar la vajilla y el instrumental metálico relacionados con los rituales de sacrificio y banquete funerario que se practicaron en el valle medio del Ebro durante los siglos centrales del Ier Milenio a. C. La investigación se ha centrado en la extensa información que proporciona la necrópolis de El Castillo (Castejón, Navarra), un espacio funerario que, por el momento, constituye una asombrosa excepción en un horizonte marcado por la ausencia o la parquedad de los datos.
