The Politics of Chemistry
Agust Nieto-Galan argues that chemistry in the twentieth century was deeply and profoundly political. Far from existing in a distinct public sphere, chemical knowledge was applied in ways that created strong links with industrial and military projects, and national rivalries and international endeavours, that materially shaped the living conditions of millions of citizens. It is within this framework that Nieto-Galan analyses how Spanish chemists became powerful ideological agents in different political contexts, from liberal to dictatorial regimes, throughout the century. He unveils chemists' position of power in Spain, their place in international scientific networks, and their engagement in fierce ideological battles in an age of extremes. Shared discourses between chemistry and liberalism, war, totalitarianism, religion, and diplomacy, he argues, led to advancements in both fields.
Inquisitionis Hispanicae Artes: The Arts of the Spanish Inquisition. Reginaldus Gonsalvius Montanus
The Inquisitionis Hispanicae Artes (Heidelberg, 1567), written by exiled Spanish Protestants, is the first systematic denunciation of the Spanish Inquisition. Its first part is a description of the Inquisition’s methods, making use of the Inquisition’s own instruction manual, which was not publicly known. Its second section presents a gallery of individuals who suffered persecution in Seville during the anti-Protestant repression (1557-1565). The book had a great impact, being almost immediately translated into English, French, Dutch, German, and Hungarian. The portraits very soon passed into Protestant martyrologies, and the most shocking descriptions (torture, auto de fe) became ammunition for anti-Spanish literature. This critical edition presents a new text as well as, for the first time, extensive notes.
Mujeres y Hermandades
Las cofradas, término ya presente en las reglas de los siglos XV y XVI, no lo tienen fácil desde hace unos 400 años. Y, aunque siguen teniéndolo difícil, serán claves para la supervivencia de las cofradías en el futuro inmediato. Tras estos casi cuatro siglos, las mujeres han recuperado funciones relacionadas con la participación en la vida de uno de los elementos centrales del tejido asociativo andaluz. Si bien en la Andalucía oriental y en otras partes de España está muy normalizada la presencia femenina, en la Andalucía occidental esta normalización está aún bastante lejos de conseguirse. Este es precisamente uno de los objetivos de este libro que ahora les presentamos pues, mientras que en las hermandades nuevas la presencia femenina a todos los niveles es algo común y aceptado, en las cofradías históricas muchas veces se enfrentan a una tradición que no tiene nada de tradicional. Este libro viene a romper el esto siempre ha sido así, utilizado para hacer valer unos criterios discriminatorios por aquellos que se oponen a que la mujer acceda a las cofradías en igualdad de derechos.
