La société St-Jean-Baptiste de Sherbrooke 1858 - 1980

Depuis un certain nombre d'années, l'histoire régionale et l'histoire locale ont connu un essor considérable. La région des Cantons de l'Est et la ville de Sherbrooke, plus spécifiquement, n'échappent pas à cette orientation historiographique. Plusieurs thèses, mémoires ou études sont venus compléter notre connaissance de la réalité historique de Sherbrooke et de la région. Tous les aspects de l'histoire y trouvent leur compte, comme dans l'histoire nationale. Les historiens sortent de l'ombre les personnages et les événements qui ont marqué la vie politique, économique, religieuse, sociale et culturelle de la communauté qu'ils étudient. Ils ont ainsi raison du temps qui travaille contre la mémoire, collective comme individuelle. L'étude que je présente aujourd'hui s'inscrit dans la vague qui a poussé les historiens à éclairer le milieu où ils vivent et à concourir ainsi, de plus ou moins loin, à l'évaluation de l'histoire nationale déjà reçue. Môn mémoire consiste à présenter et à interpréter l'histoire de la Société St-Jean-Baptiste de Sherbrooke, une Société qui s'est très tôt inscrite dans le développement de la ville de Sherbrooke, puis du diocèse. On pourrait penser qu'il appartient à l'histoire sociale et culturelle uniquement. Mais l'orientation que la SSJB de Sherbrooke a prise au cours du 20e siècle et le climat politique dans lequel elle évolue depuis une vingtaine d'années, notamment, font que mon mémoire déborde largement l'aspect socio-culturel de l'histoire de Sherbrooke et du diocèse Saint-Michel. Il a donc une extension que je n'avais pas prévue au moment du choix de mon sujet.

Conflitos ambientais e progresso técnico na indústria mineira e metalúrgica em Portugal (1858-1938)

This chapter explores the relationship between environmental conflicts and technical progress, trying to understand, in the case of large mines of the Iberian Pyrite Belt, in Alentejo, how emerging environmental problems conditioned the performance or led to the search for alternative technical solutions, taking as chronological limit for this observation the beginning of World War II. In the absence of the archives of the companies, the research was based on existing administrative documents in the state archives (mining engineers reports, the licensing of mining activities), on reports and documents published in specialized mining press, in particular, the Bulletin of the Ministry of Public Works, Trade and Industry, the Journal of Public Works, Trade and Industry (both in Portuguese), and finally in the local press. Despite that limitation, the information available shows that in global competition markets, the success of the British enterprise in Santo Domingo had the active search for new technical solutions for the creation and adaptation of existing knowledge to local problems in order to maximize the mineral resources available. The early development of the hydrometallurgical processes for the treatment of poor ores, named ‘natural cementation’, can be explained as the way these companies tried to solve problems of competitiveness, boosting economies of scale. Thus, they transferred the environmental costs previously limited to agriculture to more fragile social groups, the poor fishermen of Guadiana River and of Vila Real de Santo António. Therefore, the hydrometallurgy of pyrites was developed locally, pioneered in Santo Domingo that allowed the survival and expansion of the British company from the late 1870s, that is, at a time when most small mines shut since they were not able to compete globally. Through different consented and regulated processes (judicial), through conflict or parliamentary mediation, the State imposed exceptionally additional costs to companies, either for compensation, the imposing the application of remediation measures to reduce the environmental damage in some cases, thus contributing to derail some projects. These cases suggest that the interaction between local conflicts, corporate behavior and technological progress proves to be complex. This article aims to contribute to the debate on economic and social history between the environment and technological progress, arguing that the fixed costs and economic imponderable social risks were factors that encouraged the companies to search for new solutions and to introduce innovations since that would allow the expansion of their activity. In this process the companies sometimes faced environmental dilemmas and unforeseen costs with consequences on the economy of firms. The nature of the knowledge needed to address the environmental problems they created, however, is of a very different nature from that knowledge needed to face the environmental burdens that were inherent to the development of its activity.

Ángeles López de Ayala (1858-1926): icono del librepensamiento en la España de entre siglos

Durante las dos últimas décadas del siglo XIX y las primeras del XX, España fue escenario de diferentes proyectos políticos y sociales asociados al republicanismo y las ideologías de izquierdas. Sus promotores hablaban de conseguir la regeneración del país mediante la reorganización de la sociedad. Se trataba, según ellos, de sacar al país del atraso en el que se encontraba y de acercarlo a aquellos países en los que el progreso se había impuesto a las fuerzas partidarias de mantener las viejas y caducas estructuras sociales y regímenes políticos. Entre estos grupos progresistas el discurso dominante era el de un cambio social y político radical. Volvían con nostalgia su mirada hacia atrás, teniendo como modelo la Primera República y sus ideales, y aspiraban a implantar la Segunda República. Su discurso anticlerical y antimonárquico promovía una revolución social y política, que cambiase totalmente el país en todos sus aspectos: costumbres, política, educación, y también que reinventase las relaciones de género, y redefiniese el papel de la mujer en la nueva sociedad...

Diets of the sole Solea vulgaris Quensel, 1806 and Solea senegalensis Kaup, 1858 in the lower estuary of the Guadiana River (Algarve, southern Portugal): Preliminary results

The feeding habits of two major species of sole, the common sole Solea vulgaris Quensel, 1806 and the Senegalese sole Solea senegalensis Kaup, 1858 were studied in the lower estuary of the Guadiana River (Algarve, southern Portugal). An evaluation of the number, weight, and feeding coefficient of prey types showed that S. vulgaris feed on a limited variety of prey (only Polychaeta and Tanaidacea) and present low-intensity feeding activity, with small differences in diet between seasons. S. senegalensis also have a low-diversity diet (with only one more taxa, Amphipoda), but exhibit more intense feeding activity which varies seasonally, although with little seasonal variation in the relative importance of the main preys. The diet composition of these two species suggests feeding specialization.

Amigos peligrosos, enemigos mortales: un análisis de Somoza y el movimiento obrero nicaragüense (1944-1946)

Introducción La historiografía del movimiento obrero nicaragüense se caracteriza tanto por la extrema pobreza y la dispersión de las fuentes primarias, como por una tendencia a compensar mediante estructuras analíticas lo que falta en contenido. El triunfo en 1979 de un movimiento revolucionario genuinamente interesado en permitir al pueblo nicaragüense convertirse en dueño de su  historia, ha estimulado la búsqueda de fuentes primarias y ha despertado el interés de los historiadores en la trayectoria de la lucha de clases en Nicaragua. A menos que abordemos problemas metodológicos fundamentales, esta nueva búsqueda del pasado no dar a la luz necesaria para la comprensión de los problemas de desarrollo y de los conflictos de clases en Nicaragua contemporánea
