Estudi realitzat a partir d’una estada a l’Institut Desenvolupat a School of Comparative American Studies adscrit a la University of Warwick, Regne Unit, entre 2011 i 2012. Aquest projecte analitza en primer lloc la mobilització popular del primer liberalisme i la formació de les primeres organitzacions polítiques liberals que es constituïren a partir de les societats secretes i es propagaren a través dels principals centres de sociabilitat liberal: les societats patriòtiques. En segon lloc mitjançant l’estudi de la mobilitat dels liberals entre l’Espanya metropolitana i el virregnat de Nueva Espanya demostra com es dibuixà un nou model polític basat en el federalisme. El tercer aspecte d’anàlisi és com els exiliats catalans a Anglaterra reberen el suport de la Foreign Bible Society perquè havia mantingut contactes des dels primers anys vint amb l’alt clergat espanyol. El darrer aspecte de la recerca abasta l’estudi de l’espai urbà en relació amb les pràctiques polítiques dels ciutadans a partir de l’anàlisi de la formació i ampliació de les places de la ciutat de Barcelona durant la primera meitat del segle XIX.

En plena ocupació alemanya de França, amb la intel·lectualitat catalana fraccionada entre els escriptors de l’interior i els de l’exili, i aquests últims encara repartits entre els diversos països que van acollir la diàspora republicana, l’escriptor Ferran Canyameres va tenir la idea de crear una editorial popular per acostar al public lector de Catalunya l’obra de l’inoblidable creador del comissari Maigret

This article attempts to gather together the work published in the United States and Puerto Rico by Spanish Civil War exiles of Catalan, Valencia and Balearic origin. Included are books, serials, sheet music, sound recordings and domestic movie videos, which have appeared in US territory from 1936 through 2004. The objective of the bibliography is to provide both an overview and a starting point for recovering the intellectual effort carried out by these exiles because this first inventory must still be completed with the addition of journal articles, contributions to monographs, and conference proceedings. There have also been exiles for whom books, music or videos have not been found, but for whom a certain level of intellectual activity is known or suspected. Such potential work would include articles and other contributions to journals in the US or cultural and membership activities of Catalan communities in that country. Without being able to offer definitive conclusions, it appears that exile in North America was a solitary experience, and never as a cohesive group or with the ties of mutual interests as was the case in Mexico or even in France. There were neither readers nor publishers to facilitate publication and to serve for creating group cohesiveness.

El 1716 es publicà a Milà un text que fa una àmplia justificació històrica i política de la causa de Carles III d'Àustria a la Guerra de Successió d'Espanya (1702-1715). L'obra, de dimensions considerables (72 pàgines), va ser redactada per un eclesiàstic castellà que participà a la defensa de Barcelona durant el darrer setge i que va ser desterrat a Itàlia per les noves autoritats borbòniques. L'article analitza algunes de les idees centrals del text, com ara: l'oposició a la tirania borbònica i la defensa d'una monarquia moderada; la identificació de l'entronització de Felip V com el trencament de l'equilibri europeu i el punt culminant de la decadència d'Espanya; la denúncia de la traïció dels aliats; la vindicació de l'austriacisme castellà i la crítica al borbonisme d'alguns sectors catalans; i la descripció de la repressió i de l'exili.

[cat]El coneixement de la trajectòria dels catalans exiliats, com és el cas de Josep Pijoan Soteras, Francesc Cambó Batlle i Josep Gudiol Ricart, entre altres, és fascinant perquè permet comprendre i valorar el seu itinerari personal, alhora que projecta un dramàtic resplendor sobre la cultura catalana de l"època. En aquest article es plantegen dues qüestions. La primera se centra en Pijoan com a agent d"art, aspecte molt poc conegut fi ns ara; mentre que en la segona part tracta de Pijoan com a escriptor d"art i la problemàtica que es va produir amb motiu de la seva intervenció en el llibre Les pintures romàniques de Catalunya dins la «Monumenta Cataloniae», col·lecció patrocinada per Francesc Cambó. [eng]Knowledge of the pathways of Catalan exiles -as in the case of Jose Pijoan Soteras, Francesc Cambó Batlle and Jose Gudiol Ricart, among others- is fascinating because it permits understanding and evaluation of their personal itineraires while at the same time casting a dramatic light on Catalan culture of the epoch. In this article two questions are presented: the first is centered on Pijoan as an art dealer, an aspect very little known until now, while the second deals with Pijoan as a writer on art and the problems raised by his participation in the book on Romanesque painters of Catalonia in the «Monumenta Cataloniae», the collection of whitch Francesc Cambó was patron.

Dr. James A. Gibson was born in Ottawa on January 29, 1912 to John W. and Belle Gibson. At an early age the family moved to Victoria, B.C. where John W. Gibson was a director of the Elementary Agricultural Education Branch, Department of Education. Gibson received his early education in Victoria, receiving a B.A. (honours) at UBC in 1931. In 1931 he was awarded the Rhodes scholarship and received his B.A., M.A., B.Litt and D. Phil at New College, Oxford. This was to be the beginning of a long and dedicated relationship with the Rhodes Scholar Association. Upon his return to Canada, Dr. Gibson lectured in Economics and Government at the University of British Columbia. In 1938 he was married to Caroline Stein in Philadelphia, and the same year joined the staff of the Department of External Affairs as a Foreign Service officer. Within twenty minutes of his arrival he was seconded to the Office of the Prime Minister and Secretary of State for External Affairs, W. L. Mackenzie King in charge of War Records and Liaison Officer. This was a critical time in the history of Canada, and Dr. Gibson experienced firsthand several milestones, including the Royal Visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1939. Dr. Gibson was present at the formation of the United Nations in San Francisco in 1945, being part of the Prime Minister’s professional staff as well as attending conferences in Washington, Quebec and London as an advisor to the Canadian delegation. Gibson contributed many articles to the publication bout de papier about his experiences during these years. After his resignation in 1947, Gibson joined the staff of the fledgling Carleton College, as a lecturer. In 1949 he was appointed a professor and in 1951 became Dean of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Gibson acted as President from 1955 to 1956 upon the sudden death of Dr. MacOdrum. In 1963 Dr. Gibson accepted the invitation of the Brock University Founders’ Committee, chaired by Arthur Schmon, to become the founding president. Dr. Gibson guided the new University from a converted refrigeration plant, to an ever expanding University campus on the brow of the Niagara Escarpment. Dr. Gibson remained firmly “attached” to Brock University. Even after official retirement, in 1974, he retained the title President Emeritus. Gibson’s final official contribution was an unpublished ten year history of the University. In retirement Gibson remained active in scholarly pursuits. He was a visiting scholar at the Center of Canadian Studies, University of Edinburgh; continued his ongoing research activities focusing on W. L. Mackenzie King, the Office of the Governor General of Canada, and political prisoners transported to Van Dieman’s Land. He remained active in the Canadian Association of Rhodes Scholars, becoming editor from 1975 to 1994 and was appointed Editor Emeritus and Director for Life in 1995 in honour of his dedicated and outstanding service. In 1993 he was awarded one of Canada’s highest achievements, the Order of Canada. Gibson retained close ties with Brock University and many of its faculty. He maintained an office in the Politics Department where he became a vital part of the department. In 1996 Brock University honoured Gibson by naming the University Library in his honour. James A. Gibson Library staff was instrumental in celebrating the 90th birthday of Gibson in 2002, with a widely attended party in the Pond Inlet where many former students, including Silver Badgers. The attendees also included former and current colleagues from Brock University, Canadian Rhodes Scholars Association, family and friends. Gibson was later to remark that the highlight of this event was the gift of his original academic robe which he had personally designed in 1964. In 2003 Dr. Gibson moved to Ottawa to be near some of his children and the city of his birth and early career. In that year “two visits to Brock ensued: the first, to attend a special celebration of the James A. Gibson Library; his late to attend the 74th Convocation on Saturday, October 18, 2003. A week later, in Ottawa, he went for a long walk, returned to his residence, Rideau Gardens, went into the lounge area, took off his coat and folded it up, put it on the back of his chair, sat down, folded his hands in his lap, closed his eyes, and died”.

Dr. Stuart D. Scott has written extensively in the fields of prehistory and history. As an archaeologist, he has traveled to some of the most significant sites in the world, including Pompeii, Stonehenge, the Valley of the Kings, Egypt’s pyramids and the Taj Mahal. He spent nine months excavating with the Tikal Project in Guatemala before returning to the University of Arizona where he received a Ph.D. in 1963. He excavated in New Zealand as a Fulbright scholar in 1963-1964. In the fall of 1964, Dr. Scott started a long career in the Anthropology Department of the State University of New York. He taught graduate and undergraduate archaeology courses and continued his archaeological and historical research. In 1979, Scott established the Old Fort Niagara Archaeology in Progress Project at Old Fort Niagara in Youngstown, New York. For many years, he became involved with historical archaeology in western New York. It was during this work that he became interested in the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837-1838 and its aftermath. Dr. Scott and his wife, Patricia Kay Scott, would use Christmas breaks, summer vacations, and sabbatical years to travel. They were repeatedly lured back to the South Pacific, conducting research in New Zealand, Australia and many of the Micronesian and Polynesian islands. To tell the whole story of the Rebellion and the prison exiles, they traveled extensively in Canada, the United States, England and Tasmania to collect archival research and to experience the scenes of this remarkable narrative. In 2004, Dr. Scott published To the Outskirts of Habitable Creation: Americans and Canadians Transported to Tasmania in the 1840s, which told the story of the men captured, tried, convicted, and exiled as a result of the Rebellion, also called the Patriot War. Other contributions include: • A collaboration with Dr. Charles Cazeau on the book Exploring the Unknown, Great Mysteries Reexamined published by Plenum Press in 1979 • The Patriot Game: New Yorkers and the Canadian Rebellion of 1837-1838, which appeared in New York History, Vol. 68, No.3. 1987 • A Frontier Spirit: The Life of James Gemmell published in Australiasian Canadian Studies, Vol. 25, No. 2 2007 • To the Outskirts of Habitable Creation which appeared in the Friends of the National Archives, Vol. 20, No. 1 2009 • Numerous academic journal publications • Service on conference panels • Various research papers and proposals Before retiring in 1997 and while still a resident of Buffalo, N.Y., Dr. Scott spent considerable time with Brock University President Emeritus James A. Gibson and History Professor Colin Duquemin. The three shared a love of Rebellion history. It was largely because of this connection that Brock University was chosen as the recipient of Dr. Scott’s research materials.

Le défi face aux changements climatiques ne consiste pas seulement à gérer les conséquences déjà existantes, mais aussi celles à venir. Les déplacements de population représentent sans aucun doute l’une de ces conséquences, pour laquelle nous devons réfléchir sans délai puisque les déplacements ont déjà débuté. Le Bangladesh est le symbole des déplacements de population reliés aux changements climatiques. Une configuration géographique propice aux désastres naturels, une densité de population élevée, une forte dépendance aux ressources naturelles et d’autres facteurs socio-économiques, constituent les raisons sous-jacentes à la vulnérabilité du Bangladesh. Les médias ont tôt fait d’alarmer la communauté sur les répercussions des changements climatiques sur la société civile et le droit international s’y attarde de façon plus sérieuse. De quelles protections bénéficient ces déplacés climatiques? Cette question fait d’ailleurs surgir de nouvelles problématiques juridiques. Nous nous rendrons vite à l’évidence que les déplacements, qu’ils soient à l’intérieur ou l’extérieur des frontières, ne sont susceptibles d’aucune protection internationale. Face à ce vide juridique, plusieurs propositions ont été envisagées et analysées par les chercheurs. Fuir ou rester : voici les deux choix de la population. Nous verrons que ces choix peuvent être largement influencés par les décisions gouvernementales. Cela nous amènera à nous questionner sur la perception du Bangladesh face à la migration climatique. Ce pays considère-t-il la migration comme une stratégie ou plutôt comme un échec à l’adaptation?

En motiu dels setanta anys del final de la Guerra Civil espanyola, “la retirada” i els camps d’internament a França, el Grup d’Estudis de Comunicació i Política (GECP) de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona va tenir la iniciativa de muntar una exposició didàctica a la sala d’exposicions de la Biblioteca de Comunicació i Hemeroteca General de la mateixa Universitat per poder rememorar aquesta efemèride. L’exposició “Els camins de l’exili. El final de la guerra, la retirada i els primers camps” va ser plantejada des d’un punt de vista didàctic, intentant facilitar a l’alumnat de la Universitat el coneixement d’aquest període històric que, moltes vegades, és feixuc de treballar amb el mètode tradicional que sempre ha usat l’Acadèmia. Abans de muntar l’exposició, però, el GECP va recórrer el territori català per tal de treballar amb fonts de primera mà i, també, conèixer quines altres institucions o grups de recerca de Catalunya o la Catalunya Nord estaven treballant el mateix tema amb l’objectiu de coordinar sinèrgies. Posteriorment, es va fer una trobada de tots els grups al Museu d’Història de Catalunya, on es van assentar les bases pel treball col·lectiu que, finalment, es va traduir amb l’exposició que va ser presentada a la UAB durant el març i abril de 2009

El presente ensayo de Gabriela Chauvin propone, a la vez que un tributo al poeta Jorgenrique Adoum –fallecido en julio de 2009–, un acercamiento a su libro Prepoemas en posespañol. Es una reflexión sobre la relación del exilio con la memoria, la muerte y la resistencia, tomando como eje dos poemas: «Good-Bye Lola» y «Epitafio del extranjero vivo». Desde un punto de vista sensible y particular se analiza el significado de la lucha en el exilio, si la mayoría de las veces ésta es el eslabón o el requisito de la derrota o la victoria, en la poesía de Adoum la lucha es la materia constante de la que están hechos los domingos y sus muertes: si hay una manera de no llegar a ninguna parte es manteniéndose en un combate inmóvil, sin descansos ni victorias ni derrotas, deambulando en el no-lugar que es el exilio. De esta manera, el epitafio se convierte en la metáfora de la lucha perenne entre la muerte y el nombre, entre la existencia a través del lenguaje y la tumba que la soporta. Prepoemas en posespañol se incluyó en el libro Informe personal sobre la situación, y se publicó por primera vez en 1973.
