Estudia las representaciones de la guerra napoleónica en la obra de Pérez Galdós a partir de la maleabilidad de la contienda en manos del autor, que recurre a ella en diversas etapas de su vida; y de la ambivalencia con que la enjuicia: por un lado, reconoce que sirvio para asegurar la nacionalidad española; por otro, critica la violencia deshumanizadora.

Im letzten Jahrzehnt erschienen zahlreiche Beitrage, die den transnationalen Charakter des Faschismus untersuchten, wenige jedoch gingen auf die Verstrickungen und Einflusse zwischen dem Dritten Reich und den rechtsradikalen Bewegungen der deutschen Minderheiten in Sudosteuropa ein. Der vorliegen- de Band mochte diese Lucke schlieen, indem erUntersuchungen uber die NS-Bewegungen unter den Deutschen in Rumanien, Ungarn, Jugoslawien und der Tschechoslowakei sowie deren Beziehungen zu Deutschland veroffentlicht. Die Kapitel behandeln Aspekte wie das Anwachsen der NS-Bewegung unter den jungen "Volksdeutschen", das Kulturleben, die Veranderungen in der deutschsprachigen Presse oder die Ressourcen-Mobilisierung zur Unterstutzung des von Hitler gefuhrten Krieges. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit wird dem Transfer von Praktiken in Politik, Ideologie und Propaganda geschenkt.

"Die wissenschaftliche Welt wie alle an der Geschichte Griechenlands im klassischen Zeitalter Interessierten uberhaupt, haben B. fur einen wertvollen und originellen Beitrag zur althistorischen Diskussion, vor allem aber fur eine nutzliche und konzise Monographie uber eine trotz reicher Detailforschung nur selten in zusammenfassender Form dargestellte Epoche der athenischen Geschichte zu danken."Tyche"Although Thrasybulus of Steiria was a major player in some of the most important events of Athenian history, he has been largely neglected by ancient commentators and modern scholars alike. By way of giving Thrasybulus the attention his deeds warrant, Buck provides in his brief study a Thrasybulus-centered history of the period from 411389. [...] The reader will find a concise, clearly-written, and well-argued discussion of the events of the period."Bryn Mawr Classical ReviewContent:Sources and Scholarship Thrasybulus: His Early Life and Career Arginusae and the Thirty The Overthrow of the Thirty and the Restoration of Democracy The First Two Years of the Corinthian War: Thrasybulus and Conon The Corinthian War: Thrasybulus and the New Athenian Empire Thrasybulus and Athens Chronology

In vielen Diktaturen im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland ebenso wie in der Sowjetunion wurden regelmaig Wahlen und Referenden abgehalten. Solche scheindemokratischen Wahlen waren nicht nur Mittel der Propaganda. Sie hatten, so zeigen die Beitrage dieses Bandes, durchaus eine Bedeutung fur die Funktionsweise diktatorischer Herrschaft im 20. Jahrhundert.

Thin section petrography, geochemistry, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction are key scientific methods used to investigate the raw materials, origins and production technology of archaeological pottery, ceramic building materials, ancient refractories and plaster. Using over 400 colour figures of a diverse range of artefact types and archaeological periods from 50 countries worldwide, this book outlines the mineralogical, chemical and microstructural composition of ancient ceramics and provides comprehensive guidelines for their scientific study within archaeology. The core of the book is dedicated to the versatile approach of ceramic petrography. This is complimented by a detailed account of the principles of bulk instrumental geochemistry, as well as the SEM microanalysis and XRD characterisation of ceramics. The book is intended as a reference manual for research as well as a course text for specialist training on scientific ceramic analysis.

Archaeologists now face a myriad of digital ways of engaging with the public social media, online TV channels, games, etc. It is critical that this potential and its limitations are closely assessed and utilised to make archaeology a genuinely public activity. Archaeology and Digital Communication examines how archaeology engages the public in the rapidly changing world of communication.This volume proposes digital strategies of public engagement that will be of interest to archaeologists working in various contexts, particularly in collaboration with media professionals and institutions. It identifies some of the most promising uses of digital media in different domains of archaeological communication and the benefits they can generate for participants. Each use is presented through case studies highlighting how media experiences are designed and consumed. While providing specific operational recommendations, Archaeology and Digital Communication also attempts to chart potential new directions for research.

Las independencias hispanoamericanas interrumpieron de forma abrupta las relaciones no solo políticas, sino también demográficas, económicas y culturales que durante casi trescientos años habían vinculado estrechamente a España con sus territorios americanos, ahora emancipados. La resistencia española a reconocer la independencia de sus antiguas colonias retraso el comienzo del proceso de normalizacion de sus relaciones con los nuevos Estados americanos hasta el segundo tercio del siglo xix. Esta prolongada incomunicacion hizo que los antiguos vinculos fueran en parte desdibujandose, mientras la exmetropoli -lejos ya de su condicion de gran potencia imperial- y las jovenes naciones hispanoamericanas seguian distintos derroteros. La reconstruccion de la intrincada red de relaciones que habian unido con anterioridad ambas orillas del Atlantico tendria lugar sobre nuevas bases a traves de un proceso que se extenderia a lo largo de toda la centuria y que no concluyo realmente hasta la perdida por España de los restos de su imperio colonial.La presente obra colectiva analiza desde distintas vertientes algunas de las principales facetas de este reencuentro, cuyo desarrollo condujo a la progresiva normalizacion de las relaciones entre España y las nuevas naciones americanas. Un proceso condicionado por las pulsiones intervencionistas de la España isabelina y la declinante presencia española en Cuba y Puerto Rico, pero tambien por el progresivo restablecimiento de las relaciones migratorias, comerciales y culturales que contribuirian a redefinir sobre nuevas bases los vinculos entre ambas orillas del Atlantico, haciendo que estos comenzaran a cobrar la importancia que alcanzarian durante el siglo xx.Otros libros de Lan

This book gives a glimpse of Saint Dominic and fifteen other blessed or canonized Dominicans who lived over the period until the twentieth century. Whether their major contributions were intellectual truths, spiritual truths, relief of hunger and physical discomfort, amelioration of social division, their own lives in martyrdom, or any kind of gift.

¿Las culturas amerindias han aportado algo a la modernidad (o a la postmodernidad)? Hacerse esta pregunta implica desatender a otra más común y con respuestas más trilladas: cómo la modernidad ha afectado, o afecta, a las culturas amerindias. En esta segunda pregunta se estan presuponiendo algunas cosas discutibles, por no decir erroneas. La primera es que las culturas amerindias son "tradicionales", lo que vale decir "conservadoras" y, por tanto, remisas a la aceptacion de innovaciones. Pero esto no es asi y en la medida en que existen registros historicos de hace mas de cinco siglos, nunca lo ha sido. Por el contrario, los pueblos indigenas americanos han sido siempre sorprendentemente abiertos a incorporar cualquier novedad (fuera de la clase que fuera: desde el caballo o la oveja a la figura protectora de la Virgen Maria, pasando por las tecnicas del telar de pie o por las concepciones joaquinistas de la historia). Por otro lado, la citada pregunta convierte a los pueblos amerindios, tacitamente, en receptores pasivos de creaciones que se generan fuera de sus ambitos de accion. Sin embargo, lo que han hecho siempre ha sido lo contrario: modificar a su aire, conforme a sus parametros esteticos y sociales, aquello que les ha interesado de la oferta foranea.Lo que asi se ha transformado, la version amerindia, pasa a constituir con frecuencia una aportacion significativa al repertorio global de bienes, conceptos o valores. Esto es, lo que ha servido de fundamentacion para nuestra pregunta y para las respuestas que damos en este libro. ¿Que estan aportando las culturas amerindias a la modernidad global? ¿Como el contexto amerindio modifica determinados rasgos o elementos de la modernidad? La expresion un tanto enigmatica del titulo, "utopismos circulares", anticipa el denominador comun de las respuestas a ambas preguntas, para lo que se parte de dos premisas: la concepcion ciclica, o mas bien secuencial, del tiempo en las culturas amerindias, y una predominante pulsion utopica con una analoga sobrevaloracion del pasado cultural y social.

The spatial structure of diagrams can be described in algebraic, geometric, cognitive or semiotic terms. Based on the Ur-diagram of the Divided Line in Platos Republic, diagrams can be understood as representations of the visible and the intelligible world. However, the knowledge thus conveyed is subject to the contingency of material and contextual, i.e., period-specific circumstances. How is the spatial organization of diagrams in medieval manuscripts structured under such conditions? The examples dealt with in this essay range from diagrammaric glosses to the late antique Corpus Dionysiacum to visualizations of the powers of perception and cognition by the Renaissance scholar Charles Bovelles. Medieval spaces of knowledge encompassed not only the confines of libraries or the extended social networks within which books were written, exchanged, and read; they also took shape on the page, most persuasively in the form of diagrams.

Euphemia Lamb was painted and sculpted by many renowned artists during the period before the First World War, such as Augustus John, Henry Lamb, Ambrose McEvoy, Jacob Epstein and James Dickson Innes. She was at the vanguard of modern British art. She was also a literary muse for many leading writers of the period, including Virginia Woolf, Henri-Pierre Roche and Aleister Crowley.Euphemia was the embodiment of the modern woman: sexually liberated, hard-working and ambitious. She used her connections in bohemian London and Paris to educate herself and advance the notion of what a woman could be in early twentieth-century British society. Euphemia was a pioneer who broke down barriers and her legacy survives in art and literature.

If Hollywood wanted to make a film about Oxford University, the casting team would have to find someone to play Jeremy Catto. Born in 1939, this composite of Goodbye Mr Chips, Porterhouse Blue, and C.P. Snow was the quintessential Oxford don. A gifted teacher, noted scholar, and devoted college man, he enjoyed the most extraordinary network and seemed to know everyone: he was friends with Bryan Ferry, became Harold Macmillans drinking companion, taught Princess Margaret her familys history, had a part to play in General Pinochets extradition trial and was even rumoured to be a spy. But he was no mere caricature. Over four decades, he shaped the minds and characters of generations of men and women who went on to prominent roles at Westminster, in the City, in the Church, and in the world of academia. In 2018, his memorial service was attended by over 500 people and his death marked the end of an era in British social, political and academic life.

Shirley, The Life of a Botanical Adventurer is the remarkable story of Dr Shirley Sherwood, scientist, author, travel writer, gardener as well as mother and grandmother. Following the tragic death of her brilliant scientist husband, Michael Cross, in a freak air crash in 1964, she was left as a 30-year-old widow with two young boys aged four and three. For the next twelve years she worked as a key member of the Nobel Prize-winning team which developed Tagamet, the first block-buster drug (sales of over $1 billion a year). After her marriage to Jim Sherwood in 1977, she left science to concentrate full-time on the huge task of restoring the fabled Orient-Express train, probably the most luxurious and exotic form of travel ever devised. The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, running between London and Venice, was relaunched in 1982, ninety-nine years after its first journey. Sherwoods history of the project sold more than 400,000 copies. The Orient-Express train was just the beginning. The Sherwoods went on to create the five-star Orient-Express Hotels company (now Belmond), which owned some of the finest hotels in the world, including the Cipriani in Venice, the Mount Nelson in Cape Town and the Copacabana Palace in Rio. They pioneered new train routes across the Alps, started the Eastern & Oriental Express running between Singapore and Bangkok- crossing over the Bridge on the River Kwai- opened up tourism in Myanmar with the first cruise ship to operate on the Irrawaddy, and took over the railways of Peru, which run all the way to Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca. Her most lasting achievement, the one of which she is proudest, is the Shirley Sherwood Collection of contemporary botanical art, which she started in 1990 and now includes over 1,000 paintings and drawings representing the work of more than 300 contemporary botanical artists from 36 countries. She has mounted exhibitions in many prestigious locations including the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, Kirstenbosch in Cape Town and the Real Jardin Botanico, Madrid. The Shirley Sherwood Gallery in Kew Gardens is the first museum to be dedicated to modern botanical art and her books, which often accompanied her exhibitions, have been largely responsible for re-establishing botanical art in its rightful place as an important art form. These are just some of the many achievements in a long and rich life, vividly described in this book.

Michael Coveney has been writing theatrical obituaries alongside reviews for several decades and makes a telling, sometimes surprising, selection of the best performers of our time, from Laurence Olivier to Alan Rickman, Peggy Ashcroft to Helen McCrory, Richard Briers to Ken Dodd. Most of these obits appeared in the Guardian, several in the Observer, the Financial Times and the Evening Standard.The fifty articles are arranged in chronological order of each actors demise and constitute a vivid history of postwar theatre through the lives of the actors, the abstract and brief chronicles of the time as Hamlet called them. There are happy/sad juxtapositions of shooting stars Robert Stephens and Alan Bates; tragic niece and aunt, Natasha Richardson and Lynn Redgrave; classical queens Diana Rigg and Barbara Jefford; and versatile showtime hoofers Una Stubbs and Lionel Blair.

Welche Wahrnehmungen und Vorstellungen von ihrer Stadt hatte die Oberschicht im spaten 19. Jahrhundert? Antonio Carbone zeigt dies exemplarisch am Beispiel von Buenos Aires, wo sich an einem Wendepunkt der Geschichte des modernen Argentinien und der globalen Stadtgeschichte nach dramatischen Cholera- und Gelbfieberepidemien eine breite Diskussion um die Krise des Urbanen entzundete, die zu einer partiellen Umgestaltung der Stadt fuhrte. In seiner Kultur-, Sozial-, Global- und Umweltgeschichte nimmt er besonders drei urbane Brennpunkte in den Blick: die industriellen Schlachthofe, die von Migrant_innen bewohnten Mietshauser und einen Park im Stadtteil Palermo.
