The British Influence in the Birth of Spanish Sport

Sports started to gain relevance in Spain around the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century as a leisure and health option of the upper classes imported from Britain. Its early development was intertwined with the spread of other kinds of physical activities with much more tradition on the continent: gymnastics and physical education. First played by the ruling classes – aristocracy and high bourgeoisie – sports permeated towards petty bourgeoisie and middle classes in urban areas such as Madrid, Barcelona, San Sebastián and Santander. This pattern meant that the expansion of sports was unavoidably tied to the degree of industrialisation and cultural modernisation of the country. Since 1910, and mainly during the 1920s, sport grew in popularity as a spectacle and, toa much lesser degree, as a practice among the Spanish population

An analysis and comparison of the terms of office of three Mexican presidents

Throughout the last two decades, Mexico has experienced important political transformations that have affected its economic and social life. The purpose of this investigation is to describe, analyze and compare the most important aspects of these changes that have occurred in the last three presidential administrations. Included in this study are the presidencies of Carlos Salinas (1988-1994), Ernesto Zedillo (1994-2000) and Vicente Fox (2000-2006), and their influence on life in general and the acceptance of democracy in Mexico. In addition this work is intended to identify the main policies of these three presidential terms in Mexico, in order to obtain answers of how Mexico\u27s political, economic and social issues have worked in the last eighteen years. Moreover the study will illustrate the erosion of the PRI (Revolutionary Institutional Party) as a central political force, and the emergence of the PAN (National Action Party) as an ascendant power. The research study starts from the Salinas administration, since in the year 1988 Mexico began to experience important transformations. In addition the national elections of 1988 were a decisive event in twentieth-century Mexican politics. Later on, the study continues with Zedillo\u27s administration which might be considered a period of evolution and the most difficult years for the country through the PRI domination. Additionally, this work concludes with a look at the Fox administration and its impact on Mexican politics and society, emphasizing the process that led to shift in the power structure on the national political scene on 2000

Broken Images : Eliot, Lorca, Neruda and the discontinuity of Modernism

T. S. Eliot's powerful trope in The Waste Land ("a heap of broken images"), which may derive in part from Tennyson's Idylls of the King, has overflowed into Lorca's Poeta en Nueva York and Neruda's Residencia en la tierra. What these three poets see while "walking around" is the detritus of urban life, broken and abandoned objects. With values fractured and icons turned into shards, Eliot's image relates as well to the discontinuity that underlines many examples of modernism, not only in the arts but also in science.El poderoso tropo de T. S. Eliot en “La tierra baldía” (“un montón de imágenes rotas”), el cual puede derivar en parte de la obra de Tennyson “Idilios del rey”, ha desbordado en Poeta en Nueva York de Lorca y en Residencia en la tierra de Neruda. Lo que estos tres poetas contemplan mientras “pasean” es el detrito de la vida urbana, junto con los objetos rotos y abandonados. Con valores fracturados e iconos destrozados en fragmentos, la imagen de Eliot se relaciona de esta forma a la discontinuidad que subyace en muchos ejemplos del modernismo, no sólo en las artes sino también en la ciencia
