Abstract

During the interwar years, broadcast radio became a popular way for Europeans to consume local, national, and international news. The medium not only began to shape European policy and politics, but also laid the foundation for European unification and global interconnectedness. In Europe On Air, Suzanne Lommers has documented the rich and often underexposed history of broadcast radio through the lens of international European relations. She specifically explores the roles of Radio Moscow, Radio Luxembourg, Vatican Radio, and the International Broadcasting Union as institutions that played an important role in national identities and establishing standards for broadcasting. The radio also offered new opportunities to politicians, who seized upon a vibrant and more direct way to communicate with their constituents. Essential reading for scholars of technology and European history, Europe-On Air reveals broadcast radio to be a technology that revolutionized international relations during the brief respite between the chaos of war in Europe. Radio broadcasting may seem old-fashioned nowadays, but early radio infrastructures and programs in Europe were the real social media of their time. They laid the foundation for how we experience European unification and global interconnectedness today. This timely volume takes you on a tour through the early days of broadcasting. Rarely studied sources from international organizations reveal a wide variety of new actors, activities, and debates that jointly shaped broadcasting and society institutions. These stories often remain underexposed in histories of technology, broadcasting, and Europe. Europe - on Air illustrates how people in broadcasting were debating issues ranging from institutionalizing radio to wireless and wired network construction. This book specifically acknowledges how the rivalries were solved between various systems like Radio Luxembourg and the International Broadcasting Union, the attempts to save Europe's civilization amid the chaos of war and peace, and the creation and distribution of truly international programs as early as 1926. The people involved in these transnational broadcasting efforts had some crucial decisions to make in order to actively contribute to European unification. Radio mag tegenwoordig een ouderwets medium lijken, het was de social media van vroeger. Radio-uitzendingen legden een basis voor Europese eenwording en zorgden voor een wereldwijde verspreiding van informatie en muziek. Europe- On Air bestudeert de begindagen van radio. Zelden onderzochte bronnen laten een verscheidenheid aan nieuwe actoren, activiteiten en debatten zien, die het medium radio vorm gaven. In Europe- On Air wordt, onder andere, aandacht besteed aan institutionalisering van radio, de vorming van een uitzendnetwerk, en aan de manier waarop verschillen tussen verschillende radiosystemen, zoals die van Radio Luxemburg en de International Broadcasting Union, werden opgelost. Ook wordt gekeken hoe radio bijdroeg aan het behoud van de Europese beschaving in en na de oorlogsjaren, en hoe in de begindagen van radio de allereerste echte internationale programma's tot stand kwamen.

Abstract

Metáfora de vida ¿quién no se ha sentido exiliado, digamos, de su niñez o su adolescencia, o siquiera de algún paraíso perdido?, como fenómeno histórico del exilio ha estado presente en México en forma destacada a lo largo del siglo XX. Entre los exilios mexicanos ocupa un lugar sobresaliente el de los republicanos españoles, que aportaron a México la levadura humana que habría de transformar profundamente la cultura, y por ende la sociedad mexicana entera. El grado espléndido de su éxito, la enorme riqueza de su aportación en todos los órdenes de la vida, ha oscurecido el hecho de que la decisión de abrir las puertas del país a -los refugiados- de la guerra civil española, tuvo sus raíces en una historia que se fue configurando paso a paso, con todos sus riesgos, a través de un complejo contrapunto entre el desarrollo inexorable de la tragedia española y las reacciones que fue provocando en México: entre ellas, la apropiación que el país hizo de la guerra española; la venta de armas mexicanas a la república y el apoyo de México en los frentes diplomáticos de la Sociedad de Naciones; la creación de la escuela España-México para dar refugio a los Niños de Morelia y de La Casa de España para acoger a un grupo de intelectuales republicanos; y, por fin, en la decisión de recibir a los refugiados. Las raíces del exilio es la historia compleja y contradictoria de cómo y por qué fue anudándose la tupida red de compromisos, simpatías, coincidencias y complicidades entre México y la República española, que habría de dar lugar a una de las decisiones más controvertidas, más importantes y exitosas del régimen de Lázaro Cárdenas, más definitorias, en suma, de la identidad actual del pueblo mexicano.

Abstract

"To understand how office workers shaped middle-class identities in Mexico, From Angel to Office Worker examines the material conditions of women's work and analyzes how women themselves reconfigured public debates over their employment"-- "In late nineteenth-century Mexico a woman's presence in the home was a marker of middle-class identity. However, as economic conditions declined during the Mexican Revolutionand jobs traditionally held by women disappeared, a growing number of women began to look for work outside the domestic sphere. As these "angels of the home" began to take office jobs, middle-class identity became more porous.

To understand how office workers shaped middle-class identities in Mexico, From Angel to Office Workerexamines the material conditions of women's work and analyzes how women themselves reconfigured public debates over their employment. At the heart of the women's movement was a labor movement led by secretaries and office workers whose demands included respect for seniority, equal pay for equal work, and resources to support working mothers, both married and unmarried. Office workers also developed a critique of gender inequality and sexual exploitation both within and outside the workplace. From Angel to Office Workeris a major contribution to modern Mexican history as historians begin to ask new questions about the relationships between labor, politics, and the cultural and public spheres."--

Abstract

Luis I. Rodríguez tuvo a su cargo en momentos muy difíciles la Legación Mexicana en Francia, al finalizar la guerra civil española en 1939. Como jefe de misión atendió con un singular esmero tanto a los refugiados más desvalidos como a los políticos españoles más destacados. Dedicó incontables horas a dar seguimiento a los trámites migratorios y apoyo moral y material a cuantos se lo pedían, y documentó en el texto que hoy se publica sus afanes y trabajos.

Abstract

The first half of the twentieth century witnessed the rise of modernist architects. 'Brokers of Modernity' reveals how East Central Europe turned into one of the pre-eminent testing grounds of the new belief system of modernism. By combining the internationalism of the CIAM organization and the modernising aspirations of the new states built after 1918, the reach of modernist architects extended far beyond their established fields. Yet, these architects paid a price when Europe's age of extremes intensified. Mainly drawing on Polish, but also wider Central and Eastern European cases, this book delivers a pioneering study of the dynamics of modernist architects as a group, including how they became qualified, how they organized, communicated and attempted to live the modernist lifestyle themselves. In doing so, Brokers of Modernity raises questions concerning collective work in general and also invites us to examine the social role of architects today.

Abstract

El tema de estudio de este libro se centra en la época precardenista de los años treinta donde se ubica una serie de antinomias referentes a la campesinidad problematizadas por los maestros rurales e intelectuales pedagogos, cuestiones que para el autor lejos de haberse resuelto, todavía están presentes en la agenda política y cultural del país. Constituye pues, un estudio destinado al análisis del proceso de construcción del imaginario social en el periodo posrevolucionario.

Abstract

What were the consequences of the German occupation for the economy of occupied Europe? After Germany conquered major parts of the European continent, it was faced with a choice between plundering the suppressed countries and using their economies to supply its needs. The choices made not only differed from country to country, but also changed over the course of the war. Individual leaders; the economic needs of the Reich; the military situation; struggles between governors of occupied countries and Berlin officials; and finally racism, all had an impact on the outcome. In some countries the e

Abstract

The Nazis provided Franco’s Nationalists with planes, armaments, and tanks in their civil war against the Communists but behind this largesse was a Faustian bargain. Pierpaolo Barbieri makes a convincing case that the Nazis hoped to establish an economic empire in Europe, and in Spain they tested the tactics intended for future subject territories.
