Parliamentary speakership: from individual speakership to the collective direction of parliamentary work

The article explains the evolution of the parliamentary speakership in different countries of continental Europe in the XIX and XX centuries. The text focuses on three questions in order to define how the speakership was shaped in the parliaments that emerged from the liberal revolution: the procedure by which the speaker was elected, the duration of his mandate and his functions. Starting from the definition of the initial model, it analyzes how after the II World War the direction of parliamentary work evolved towards a shared model involving three bodies. These were the speakership itself, the bureau of the chamber and the conference of presidents of the parliamentary groups, with functions delimited among the three bodies and the speakership maintaining those competencies that had necessarily to be performed by a unipersonal bod

An introduction to national biographical dictionaries renovation

The aim of this paper is to take part in the debate about the future of national biographies today. In this sense, we analyse national biographical dictionaries as instruments for the creation of national memory and as a foundation in the processes of building nation-states. We analyse the origin and development of national biographical dictionaries in the context of the evolution of biography. We initially observe the elements that condition dictionaries: the geographical and chronological framework in which they are developed, the criteria for selecting the personages whose biographies are to be written and for selecting biographers, the structure and sources of the biographies. At present, this model of dictionaries and national memory is being put into question by the emergence of new nationalisms and by the superseding of nations in new supranational bodies like the European Union. Finally, based on the above, we set out a proposal for renovating these works in the XXI century.Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, (COD. PGC2018-095712-B-100

La presidencia de las asambleas de las dictaduras en la Europa del Sur

El objeto de este artículo es contribuir al debate sobre el sentido de las asambleas de las dictaduras del sur de Europa en el siglo XX a través del estudio de la presidencia de las mismas en España (1943-1977), Italia (1924-1943) y Portugal (1935-1974).

An introduction to national biographical dictionaries renovation

Svrha je ovoga rada sudjelovati u raspravi o budućnosti nacionalnih biografija u današnjem vremenu. Stoga analiziramo nacionalne biografske leksikone kao oruđa za stvaranje nacionalnoga sjećanja i temelja u procesu izgradnje nacija-država. Analiza obuhvaća postanak i razvoj nacionalnih biografskih leksikona u kontekstu razvoja biografije. Najprije promatramo elemente koji uvjetuju leksikone, geografske i kronološke okvire u kojima nastaju, kriterije za izbor ulaznika i suradnika, strukturu i izvore biografskih članaka. U današnje se vrijeme ovaj model leksikona i nacionalnoga sjećanja dovodi u pitanje zbog pojave novih nacionalizama i zamjene nacija novim nadnacionalnim tijelima, poput Europske unije. Zaključno, na temelju prethodno navedenog, donosimo prijedlog za obnovu ovakvih djela u XXI. stoljeću.The aim of this paper is to take part in the debate about the future of national biographies today.
