Novela y escepticismo en el Quijote de Cervantes y en La guerra del fin del mundo de Mario Vargas Llosa.

Constatamos en el Quijote, de Cervantes, y en La guerra del fin del mundo, de Mario Vargas Llosa, una parecida desconfianza en las capacidades cognitivas del ser humano. Ambas novelas son un collar de malentendidos del que nadie se salva. Cabe preguntarse si al final de ambas novelas los autores hacen prevalecer una de las perspectivas sobre las demás; proponen una nueva que sea síntesis de las expuestas; niegan la posibilidad de llegar a la verdadera comprensión de la realidad; o, simplemente, niegan la existencia de dicha verdadera comprensión.

Arqueologia y didactica del conflicto: el caso de la guerra civil espaÑola

Archaeology of conflict is an archaeological subfield which is related to heritage regarding or linked to war, violent situations or any kind of conflicts. Archaeology of conflict has shown an special development in relation to contemporary history. In Spain, archaeology of conflict has focused especially in sites related to Spanish Civil War and Francoist dictatorship, producing museal interventions and studies with educational possibilities which could stress in the teaching and learning of History and the promotion of Peace.

New biogeographical and morphological information on Physaloptera ngoci Le-Van-Hoa, 1961 (Nematoda: Physalopteridae) in South-east Asian rodents

During a study of the helminth fauna of 1,643 rodents trapped along the Mekong River (Thailand, LaoPeople"s Democratic Republic and Cambodia) in 2008-2011, the spirurid nematode Physaloptera ngoci Le-Van-Hoa,1961 was recovered with an overall prevalence of 2.8%. Based on the original description, it was identified in nine of 23 different Murinae host species and is here reported for the first time from these three countries. A scanning electron microscopy study provides additional morphological data.

El sonido de la guerra: Las trompas de la Fortaleza Medieval de Ausa (Zaldibia, Guipuzcoa)

During the fieldwork in the medieval fortification of Ausa (Gipuzkoa), a vast amount of sherds from several pottery artifacts featured by a cylindrical body has been found out. They presumably had the same function in contexts dated from the first half of xiv century. Although it has not been possible to reconstruct any of these artefacts, the study of the sherds allows us to think that they would have formed some sort of big-sized horn. This high-sounding instrument, which has been frequently reproduced in iconographic references, does not have at this moment any direct parallelism in Hispanic contexts, despite being plentiful of references to similar objects in medieval ranges from Provence and Languedoc. By introducing these artefacts from different approaches, we aim to go over the scarce knowledge of these instruments, whose evidence lets us to believe in their widespread distribution all over the landscape in several material contexts from Medieval Ages.

El impresor Claudio Page durante la Guerra de Sucesión en Xàtiva y Alacant

Claudio Page tuvo un taller de imprenta en plena Guerra de Sucesión. Tras llegar a Xàtiva en 1702 e imprimir un impreso en 1702 y cinco en 1704, desapareció. El siguiente rastro con que contamos es su llegada a Alacant donde imprimió en 1713 y 1714 un total de cinco impresos. La actividad de este impresor local reflejó los intereses de los cabildos, eclesiástico y civil, que lograron la instalación de una imprenta (y también librería) que podía abastecer los amplios territorios controlados por el municipio. Era un impresor sobre el que apenas se conocían datos, y del que no se sabía cuál había sido su producción. En este trabajo se reconstruye su trayectoria y se analizan los impresos, lo que nos ha permitido detectar la continuidad del material tipográfico utilizado en Xàtiva y Alacant. Los impresos indican unos usos ligados a los intereses más directos de las comunidades locales: por una parte la comunicación de las actividades de la Corona, la gestión administrativa de los cabildos, tanto civil como eclesiástico, pero además contribuyó a promover las actividades de las órdenes y los particulares que contaron con un medio muy útil para promocionar sus causas judiciales.
