Histoy

El presente trabajo se enmarca en el estudio de las actitudes sociales durante la Guerra Civil y la posguerra entre 1936 y 1952, momento en que, después de la derrota de las potencias del Eje y con el fin más próximo de la política autárquica del régimen, la nueva normalidad empieza asimismo a ocupar aquellos espacios donde predominaba la oposición. Además, partiendo de un estado de la cuestión sobre la historiografía de las actitudes sociales y de un análisis de las tipologías de éstas en los estudios más recientes, se ha realizado la investigación de un caso familiar; en concreto los Moreno Agrela, en base a documentos del Tribunal Militar Territorial Tercero de Barcelona y a la entrevista realizada al hijo de uno de los protagonistas, Álvaro Moreno Manzanera, con el fin de establecer una visión comparada de las actitudes de los distintos miembros de la familia a lo largo del régimen, aunque centrándonos mayormente en la cronología ya establecida.

Oral history has marked a significant methodological innovation for South American historiography. In a dialogue with European and US oral history, it has found its specific field of interest in subaltern studies and in the history of common people. This literature review focuses on different national cases and local experiences (Mexico, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina) that, however different, all share a militant approach, which is also the result of the desire of redeeming a past marked by the dictatorships.

Although Anamika Roy’s Sixty-four Yoginis is a meticulously researched book, its effect is somewhat mitigated by a similar display of scholarly repetition or redundancy. One of the main themes of this book, which recur in several chapters, is the positing of cultic and tribal origins of Yoginis.

Readers of historical literature are familiar with this rhetoric of tribal origin, which has been redeployed and reinforced for the religious traditions that were esoteric in nature and were not part of popular religion. Once a religious practice is concluded to have a tribal origin, it can easily be designated as cultic, marginal and sometimes also superstitious. Thus, such religious traditions become exotic, primitive, and, therefore, rather non-intriguing to academics. Academics, thereafter, just have to construct a paradigmatic sociopolitical context within which associated motifs of deities and rituals can be appropriated.

La panoplia portada por los caballeros a lo largo de la Edad Media nos va a dar como consecuencia más relevante e inmediata la separación entre la vestimenta masculina y femenina porque la necesidad de proteger el cuerpo del varón obli-gó a ajustar la placa metálica a la forma de cada hombre y acabó por trascender al ámbito militar para definir y diferenciar la holgada silueta femenina de la perfilada silueta masculina. Resumen: Palabras clave: Panoplia, Indumentaria, Loriga, Armadura, Caballeros, Textil, Diseño, Moda. The panoply carried by knights during the Middle Ages will give us as more relevant and immediate separation between male and female attire result because the need to protect the male body forced to adjust the metal plate to form every man and eventually transcend the military sphere to define and differentiate the loose female silhouette male silhouette profiled.

The end of empires and the rise of nation-states have transformed the way politics and societies operate and the modern sense of these changes, transformations, events, and situations. Language, culture, and memory are essential pillars of the nation-states' projects of creating a new society. The modern form of government, the nation-state, use history not only as a means of transmission but also as a means of building identity and memory. This study examines the case files of three critical names in the Kurdish movement and the history-based debates in their trials. By applying discourse analysis, we have shown how the Turkish state and The Kurdish Workers' Party used history as a tool to "prove" and "disprove" the existence of Kurds, the Kurdish language, and Kurdistan. While the judges imposed an evidence-based approach to history and denied the existence of Kurds, Kurdish and Kurdistan, the PKK members opposed the official thesis of the state and built their arguments more on the day-today realities of life. The study's main argument is that the official ideology uses history to prove and convey a message to the rest of society, whereas the defendants used it as a means of protest depending on the historical reality rather than history as a science. This study discusses that by using science to make examples of these members, the judges used history to prove the Kurds' non-existence, whereas the defendants implied history as a way of protesting the ruling authority.

Resumen

El fin de los imperios y el surgimiento de los Estados-nación han transformado el funcionamiento de la política y las sociedades y el sentido moderno de estos cambios, transformaciones, acontecimientos y situaciones. La lengua, la cultura y la memoria son pilares esenciales de los proyectos de los Estados-nación para crear una nueva sociedad. La forma moderna de gobierno, el Estado-nación, utiliza la historia no sólo como medio de transmisión, sino también como medio de construcción de la identidad y la memoria. Este estudio examina los expedientes de tres nombres críticos del movimiento kurdo y los debates basados en la historia en sus juicios. Aplicando el análisis del discurso, el objetivo es mostrar cómo tanto el Estado turco como el Partido de los Trabajadores del Kurdistán conceptualizaron y utilizaron la historia como herramienta para "probar" y "refutar" en los tribunales. El argumento principal del estudio es que la ideología oficial utiliza la historia para probar y transmitir un mensaje al resto de la sociedad, mientras que los acusados la utilizaron como medio de protesta en función de la realidad histórica y no de la historia como ciencia. Los jueces utilizaron la historia para probar la inexistencia de los kurdos, mientras que los acusados implicaron la historia como forma de protesta contra la autoridad gobernante.

In ancient Greece and Rome the hottest period of the year was called the dog days, because it was believed that the heat was caused by Sirius, which the Greeks and Romans called the Dog. Allegedly, after its heliactic rising or first-visibility, this star heated up the already hot summer sun, which then caused suffering to people and animals, destroyed crops and dried up streams and springs. In an effort to moderate the summer heat, bring rain, protect the crops and prevent famine, the Greeks developed several ceremonies. They attempted to explain their origin with fables, which are still known today. In ancient Rome the sacrificing of dogs was part of several ancient agricultural and pastoral festivals. Although some were held at the time of the heliactic rising or setting of Sirius, their connection with this phenomenon is unclear.
