Historiografia caputxina catalana recent

Donant rellevància a l'obra de Fra Valentí Serra de Manresa sobre els caputxins de Catalunya al llarg dels segles XVIII i XIX i fins al 1936 com a eina per als investigadors d'història eclesiàstica, l'autor ens presenta i descriu aquesta darrera aportació a la historiografia caputxina que destaca tant aspectes interns dels frares com la mentalitat, la vida quotidiana i cultural, com l'actitud política i l'adaptació institucional de l'orde respecte de l'autoritat del moment.Dando relevancia a la obra de Fray Valentí Serra de Manresa sobre los capuchinos de Catalunya a lo largo de los siglos XIX y XX -y hasta 1936- como herramienta para los investigadores de historia eclesiástica, el autor nos presenta y describe esta última aportación a la historiografía capuchina que destaca aspectos internos de los frailes y la mentalidad, la vida cotidiana y cultural, la actitud política y la adaptación institucional de la orden con respecto a la autoridad política de cada coyuntura.The author analyses the work of the Catalan historian Fra Valentí Serra de Manresa, who has focused his researches preferably on his own Capuchin order from the eighteenth century to 1936

An Introduction to the United States Legal System: Cases and Comments

This casebook introduces non-U.S trained lawyers, law students, and college undergraduates to the intricacies and nuances of our legal system. The world is becoming a smaller place and as a consequence of this globalization, the need for lawyers who are international in perspective and competence is increasing. Whatever one\u27s opinion about globalization, there is no doubt that the U.S. legal system is at the forefront of these changes. This book attempts to compress three years of U.S. legal education into one casebook. The following materials in this chapter, and throughout this book, will help non-United States law students and pre-law students gain a better understanding of the legal system and the overall legal culture at work in the United States. Particularly, within this chapter is information on the infamous Socratic Method employed, to some extent, at most law schools throughout the country. Also, within this chapter is information that draws specific contrasts between the United States legal system and others. As the reader continues through the text, he will begin to understand that in the United States legal culture, the way one arrives at the answer is just as important as answering the question. Given its intended audience, this book is an introduction to comparative legal studies, under the theory that, in establishing what the law is in each jurisdiction under study, comparative law (and for that matter, studies of foreign law, as well) should (a) be concerned to describe the normal conceptual world of the lawyer, (b) take into consideration all the sources upon which a lawyer in that legal system might base her opinion as to what the law is, and (c) take into consideration the gap between the law on the books and law in action, as well as (d) important gaps in available knowledge about either the law on the books or the law in action

Planificación lingüística y política educativa. Análisis y estudio de caso: Lituania

La planificación lingüística y política educativa propone soluciones a la hora de establecer el uso de las lenguas en una comunidad. Este trabajo se centra en un estudio de la delimitación de la disciplina, teniendo en cuenta la importancia de las lenguas minoritarias en Europa. A partir del estudio de caso, Lituania, vamos a comprobar las posibles repercusiones que tiene la política lingüística para la planificación de las lenguas

The spanish exile in London: Heterodoxies of religion and press. Blanco White and Felicia Hemans

En su cruzada contra el absolutismo de Fernando VII, los exiliados españoles en Londres se sirvieron de la palabra impresa no solo como medio de crítica política, sino también religiosa en la construcción del Estado liberal español. Aunque un tanto obviado en lo referente a esta cuestión heterodoxa al ser considerado periódico político, El Español de Blanco White abrirá paso, como pionero en la prensa española del exilio londinense, al tratamiento del aperturismo religioso como pilar esencial en el discurso liberal de los emigrados, que después desarrollarán otros refugiados con cabeceras protestantes impresas en español. En interconexión con coetáneos ingleses, como Dickens o Felicia Hemans, la crítica religiosa de Blanco, basada en una continua búsqueda de la verdad, se extenderá además a la prensa inglesa con sus Letters from Spain, aparecidas inicialmente en el New Monthly Magazine de Thomas Campbell, en el que Hemans publicará los poemas que estructurarán su referente contra la intolerancia católica, The Forest Sanctuary, según la propia autora, su mejor trabajo. El análisis historiográfico de esta investigación se centra en el estudio bibliográfico y crítico de los textos sobre la temática expuesta y sus fuentes hemerográficas, con el fin de destacar la aportación de la hibridación religiosa entre la obra periodística de Blanco y Hemans, en el contexto de una misión que desempeñará un papel esencial a favor de la libertad religiosa y que se notará en el incipiente rupturismo de la ortodoxia católica en la obra periodístico-literaria del XIX español.Spanish exiles in London used the printed word not only as an instrument of political criticism, but also as religious criticism in the construction of the Spanish liberal state. Although somewhat overlooked in relation to this heterodox issue because of being considered a political newspaper Blanco White’s El Español will open, as a pioneer in the Spanish press of the exile in London, to the treatment of religious openness as an essential pillar in the liberal discourse of the emigrados, which will be developed by other refugees with Protestant mastheads printed in Spanish. In interconnection with English contemporaries (Dickens or Felicia Hemans), the religious criticism of Blanco, based on a continuous search for the truth, will also be extended to English press with his Letters from Spain, initially published in the New Monthly Magazine, in which Hemans will publish the poems that will structure her referent work against Catholic intolerance, The Forest Sanctuary. The historiographical analysis of this research focuses on the bibliographical and critical study of the texts on the subject matter and its hemerographic sources, in order to highlight the contribution of religious hybridization between the journalistic works of Blanco and Hemans in the context of a mission in favor of religious freedom and that it will be noted in the incipient breaking off from Catholic orthodoxy in the journalistic and literary work of the Spanish nineteenth centur

Non-parametric mass reconstruction of A1689 from strong lensing data with SLAP

We present the mass distribution in the central area of the cluster A1689 by fitting over 100 multiply lensed images with the non-parametric Strong Lensing Analysis Package (SLAP, Diego et al. 2004). The surface mass distribution is obtained in a robust way finding a total mass of 0.25E15 M_sun/h within a 70'' circle radius from the central peak. Our reconstructed density profile fits well an NFW profile with small perturbations due to substructure and is compatible with the more model dependent analysis of Broadhurst et al. (2004a) based on the same data. Our estimated mass does not rely on any prior information about the distribution of dark matter in the cluster. The peak of the mass distribution falls very close to the central cD and there is substructure near the center suggesting that the cluster is not fully relaxed. We also examine the effect on the recovered mass when we include the uncertainties in the redshift of the sources and in the original shape of the sources. Using simulations designed to mimic the data, we identify some biases in our reconstructed mass distribution. We find that the recovered mass is biased toward lower masses beyond 1 arcmin (150 kpc) from the central cD and that in the very center we may be affected by degeneracy problems. On the other hand, we confirm that the reconstructed mass between 25'' and 70'' is a robust, unbiased estimate of the true mass distribution and is compatible with an NFW profile.Comment: 11 pages, 12 figures.
