Abstract

La publicación se propone profundizar en el conocimiento de las características y la evolución de las enseñanzas jurídicas en las universidades españolas durante la etapa liberal. No lo hace a través de una visión panorámica, ni siquiera de un conjunto de ellas. Los temas y enfoque que encontrará el lector muestran piezas individuales que sin embargo adquieren un significado más pleno al insertarse en el volumen. Tribunales de oposición y escuelas, la evolución de las asignaturas dedicadas a la economía, la peculiaridad del derecho mercantil, el contexto académico del proyecto de Código civil de 1851, la biografía de Juan Moneva Puyol, el antifeminismo jurídico, la metodología docente, los exilios... son algunas claves a través de las cuales podemos penetrar en la cultura jurídica liberal de España.

Abstract

Old troubles with remote origins persist in modern Spain, including huge public debts, extensive corruption, widespread unlawfulness, oligarchical politics, territorial splits, and permanent protests and riots. When did Spain screw up? "The Spanish Frustration" provides an interpretation of several important aspects of present-day Spain and its past stories. It argues that, in the long term, Spain missed the opportunity to become a consolidated modern nation-state because it was entangled in imperial adventures for several centuries when it should have been building a solid domestic basis for further endeavours. In short: a ruinous empire made a weak state, which built an incomplete nation, which sustains a minority democracy.

Abstract

« La tragédie espagnole est un charnier. », écrit Georges Bernanos dans Les Grands Cimetières sous la lune. La guerre d'Espagne (1936-1939) a pris fin il y a quatre-vingt ans, et avec elle l'un des épisodes les plus passionnels de l'histoire des intellectuels français. Dans ce conflit qui annonçait directement la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les clercs se sont en effet engagés avec une ferveur inédite pour l'un ou l'autre des deux camps en présence. Cet ouvrage rappelle que l'intelligentsia de gauche a pris fait et cause pour la défense de la République espagnole au nom de l'antifascisme et de la défense des libertés, tandis certains écrivains se rendaient même de l'autre côté des Pyrénées combattre les armes à la main, tels André Malraux, à la tête de l'escadrille España, Benjamin Péret ou Simone Weil. À droite, la mobilisation des consciences ne fut pas moindre, allant de la célébration de Franco à l'exaltation de la « croisade » contre le communisme, sous la plume d'auteurs comme Charles Maurras, Robert Brasillach ou Paul Claudel. Les deux camps n'en étaient pas moins traversés par des contradictions internes qui complexifient ce schéma binaire aujourd'hui couramment admis. Les fractures internes de la gauche entre pacifistes et interventionnistes, communistes staliniens et révolutionnaires, empêchèrent ainsi son unité et annoncèrent à terme sa défaite. Quant à la droite, plus homogène dans sa lutte, elle n'en dut pas moins affronter la défection des chrétiens progressistes qui, par la voix de François Mauriac ou de Jacques Maritain, refusaient d'entériner la « guerre sainte » contre les « rouges ». Pierre-Frédéric Charpentier s'est attaché à restituer ce pan singulier de l'histoire intellectuelle française à l'aide de nombreuses sources d'époque. Son étude, qui propose la première synthèse d'ensemble sur le sujet traité, rappelle combien, trois année durant et dans le contexte trouble de la montée des périls, la guerre d'Espagne représenta pour les intellectuels français une véritable guerre civile par procuration. -- Quatrième de couverture

Abstract

"This book analyzes Spanish rule and Catholic practice from the consolidation of Spanish control in the Americas in the sixteenth century to the loss of these colonies in the nineteenth century by following the life and afterlife of an accidental martyr, San Felipe de Jésus. Using Mexico City-native San Felipe as the central figure, Conover tracks the global aspirations of imperial Spain in places such as Japan and Rome without losing sight of the local forces affecting Catholicism. He demonstrates the ways Spanish religious attitudes motivated territorial expansion and transformed Catholic worship. By promoting its favorite canonization causes, the Spanish crown turned the cult of saints into an unimpeachable platform to proclaim the Spanish empire's shared religious mission. Using Mexico City as an example, Conover also shows that the cult of saints continually refreshed the spiritual authority of the Spanish monarch and the message of loyalty of colonial peoples to a devout king. Such a political message in worship, Conover concludes, proved contentious in independent Mexico as patriots demanded that the clergy decolonize the church, thus setting the stage for the momentous conflicts of the nineteenth century in Latin American religious history"--

Abstract

"Ethics, or the systematized set of inquiries and responses to the question "what should I do?" has infused the history of human narrative for more than two centuries. One of the foremost theorists of ethics during the twentieth century, Emmanuel Levinas (1906-1995) radicalized the discipline of philosophy by arguing that "the ethical" is the foundational moment for human subjectivity, and that human subjectivity underlies all of Western philosophy. Levinas's voice is crucial to the resurging global attention to ethics because he grapples with the quintessential problem of alterity or "otherness," which he conceptualizes as the articulation of, and prior responsibility to, difference in relation to the competing movement toward sameness. Academicians and journalists in Spain and abroad have recently fastened on an emerging cluster of peninsular writers who, they argue, pertain to a discernible literary generation, provisionally referred to as Generacion X. These writers are distinct from their predecessors; they and their literary texts are closely related to the specific socio-political and historical circumstances in Spain; and their novels relate stories of more and less proximity, more and less responsibility, and more and less temporality. In short, they trace the temporal movement of alterity through narrative." --
