Círculos de tiza cuenta la historia de un niño andaluz, Julio Colinas, que llega a las cuencas mineras asturianas en los años cincuenta con siete años -es testigo atónito de un accidente de mina que mata a su padre, militante del Partido Comunista-. Cincuenta años después, y como jefe de la Policía del Nalón, vuelve a enfrentarse a la muerte. Debe resolver lo que parece un asesinato «por intereses». En el camino se encuentra a sus antiguos amigos, que, como él, ocupan cargos de relevancia: uno de ellos es alcalde y otro, jefe de la oposición. Todos vuelven, en cierto modo, a la infancia para retomar uno de sus juegos preferidos: «policías y ladrones».
What science has gotten so shamefully wrong about women, and the fight, by both female and male scientists, to rewrite what we thought we knew For hundreds of years it was common sense: women were the inferior sex. Their bodies were weaker, their minds feebler, their role subservient. No less a scientist than Charles Darwin asserted that women were at a lower stage of evolution, and for decades, scientists—most of them male, of course—claimed to find evidence to support this.

This is a comprehensive study of the impact of censorship on theatre in twentieth-century Spain. It draws on extensive archival evidence, vivid personal testimonies and in-depth analysis of legislation to document the different kinds of theatre censorship practised during the Second Republic (1931–6), the civil war (1936–9), the Franco dictatorship (1939–75) and the transition to democracy (1975–85). Changes in criteria, administrative structures and personnel from these periods are traced in relation to wider political, social and cultural developments, and the responses of playwrights, directors and companies are explored. With a focus on censorship, new light is cast on particular theatremakers and their work, the conditions in which all kinds of theatre were produced, the construction of genres and canons, as well as on broader cultural history and changing ideological climate – all of which are linked to reflections on the nature of censorship and the relationship between culture and the state.
