Navarra y su relación con Euskal Herria y España en los manuales de Enseñanza Primaria y Secundaria, 1945-1985.

Estudiar los manuales de Historia de España para ver cuál ha sido la evolución y progreso de la Didáctica de la Historia en cuanto a principios, orientación y métodos. Analizar los contenidos que directa o indirectamente se refieren a la historia de Navarra, y qué tipo de relaciones se establecen en ellos entre Navarra, Vasconia y España. 150 manuales de Historia de España utilizados en nuestro país en los niveles primario y secundario entre 1845 y 1985, 62 de ellos anteriores a 1936 y 88 posteriores a 1939. El trabajo consta de 7 epígrafes, correspondientes a períodos relevantes de la historia de Navarra. En cada uno, se compara el tratamiento dado a las referencias históricas a Navarra en el marco de la historia peninsular, primero en los manuales publicados antes de 1936, y en segundo lugar, en aquellos posteriores al final de la Guerra Civil. Vid. Bibliografía. Análisis comparativo sobre los contenidos referidos a Navarra. Estudio crítico y análisis del contenido. El tratamiento de las fuentes se ha visto muy limitado por el carácter heterogéneo de éstas, pertenecientes a períodos muy amplios y cronológicamente muy distantes, por los diferentes niveles de enseñanza, y el papel tan decisivo de la ideología y personalidad de los autores. A pesar del amplio período cronológico que abarca el estudio, las referencias a la historia de Navarra resultan relativamente escasas y breves. De los contenidos que muestran los textos analizados pueden extraerse enseñanzas aplicables al campo de la Didáctica de la Historia, que no constan de modo explícito en la presente memoria.

The audit of regional policy: 1934‐1939

This paper examines the cost-effectiveness of British regional policy during the 1930s. It takes issue with Correlli Barnett, who has argued that regional policy measures introduced from 1945 were already shown to be inefficient by the failure of similar assistance during the 1930s. The evolution of the main 1930s initiatives that influenced post-war policy is discussed and their effectiveness assessed. When account is taken of savings in government welfare payments these initiatives are shown to have been very cost-effective, producing an annual return to the exchequer of around 56%, or more.

Fetishizing the Holocaust: comedy and transatlantic connections in Howard Jacobson's 'Kalooki Nights'

The British Jewish novelist Howard Jacobson has, from the start of his career, found himself saddled with the unenviable label of 'the English Philip Roth'. For many years, Jacobson bristled at the Roth comparisons, offering the alternative label 'the Jewish Jane Austen' and insisting that he had not read Roth at all, though more recently he has put on record his admiration for Roth's comic masterpiece, Sabbath's Theater.If Jacobson's early work was certainly imbued with a Rothian Jewish humour, its cultural reference points were almost invariably English. In contrast, Kalooki Nights is saturated with allusions to American culture, in particular Jewish American culture. This article traces some of the ways in which Kalooki Nights explores and exploits these transatlantic connections in a comic novel that both participates in and satirizes what will be called here the fetishization of the Holocaust. It is concluded that Kalooki Nights is Jacobson's audacious attempt to produce a piece of Holocaust literature that exploits the tension between the desire of some Jews of his generation to know all the 'gory details', and the necessity of recognizing that their own historical situation prevents them from ever doing so. The result is to make people laugh not at the events of the Holocaust itself but at the attempt to fetishize them.

Opening the Windows of the Church to the World: The Creation of Nostra Aetate and Its Impact on the Christian-Jewish relationship

It is important to assert that this study is not a work to inflict guilt on the Catholics or Catholicism for their silence and indifference during the Holocaust. Instead, this study is about the process of moving on from the Catholic Church's past to where the Jewish community's theological existence was finally recognized and the Jewish people were no longer seen as the Others who killed Christ. This was, achieved through a church declaration titled Nostra Aetate (In Our Time). This study records the journey traversed by this declaration, the insurmountable odds it faced in its creation until its promulgation and the impact it has on the Jewish-Christian relationship.
