El 5 d’octubre de 1867 s’inaugurava la Escuela Normal de Maestras de València amb el suport de la Universitat, l’Ajuntament i la Diputació de València. Al llarg de 150 anys, aquesta institució pública, seglar i, en el seu origen, de caràcter específicament femení, ha format les mestres que han educat les dones en les escoles valencianes. El recorregut per la seua història ens mostra el doble compromís pedagògic i social de professores i alumnes, els esforços per convertir-la en un centre renovador i de prestigi en el primer terç del segle XX, la desfeta durant el franquisme i les dificultats per la recuperació pedagògica fins arribar a l’actual Facultat de Magisteri. Al mateix temps, ens permet una mirada a l’evolució de la societat valenciana i les tensions produïdes entre els models de dona més innovadors i aquells més tradicionals. Tot plegat, unes pàgines de la història de l’educació valenciana, fins ara desconegudes, on les dones van ser les protagonistes indiscutibles.
English-medium instruction (EMI) has become a pervasive teaching model in recent higher education. The implementation of EMI programs requires changes in university teaching methods since most lecturers need to adapt their contents and the way they teach them to successfully work in foreign language environments. The rapid proliferation of such programs has resulted in concern among teaching staff, who have felt pushed towards teaching their subject content through a non-native language with little or no previous training. As a result, many recent studies have highlighted the importance and urgency to train teaching staff in terms of language proficiency and the appropriate teaching methods,...
Las maestras republicanas simbolizan el proyecto de transformación social y cultural de la Segunda República. En sus trayectorias vitales encontramos la plasmación de las esperanzas, las experiencias y los logros alcanzados por las mujeres españolas en esos años de cambios profundos, en los que las mujeres obtuvieron la ciudadanía civil y la ciudadanía política y en los que la educación era concebida como el fundamento de una auténtica democracia. La profesión de maestra era uno de los pocos ámbitos laborales en el que las mujeres habían ido conquistando, desde el siglo XIX, un terreno de afirmación, reconocimiento y legitimación en la esfera pública. En los años treinta del...
This book provides an indispensable resource for high school and college students interested in the history and current status of gender identity formation and maintenance and how it impacts LGBTQ rights throughout the world. Gender and Identity around the World explores a variety of gender and LGBTQ experiences and issues in countries from all the world's regions. Guided by more than 50 recognized academic experts, readers will examine how gender and LGBTQ identities are developed, fought for, perceived, and policed in countries as diverse as France, Brazil, Russia, Jordan, Iraq, and China. Each chapter opens with a general introduction to a country or group of countries and flows into a discussion of gender and identity in terms of culture, education, family life, health and wellness, law, work, and activism in that region of the world. A section on contemporary issues specific to the country or group of countries follows this discussion.
If, as we believe, the history of languages is the history of the construction of an ideal artefact that permits a specific interpretation of the linguistic reality and helps to approve and assimilate a certain zone of diversity, enabling the accumulation of collective historical knowledge and making us identify it with a social community and a territory, then it must be agreed that languages are extremely complex entities. The new linguistic diversity that cultural globalisation and recent population movements have installed in most traditional linguistic territories has probably put the ideology of the national language into a state of crisis and, as a consequence, has made the ancient, in...
Magicians, necromancers and astrologers are assiduous characters in the European golden age theatre. This book deals with dramatic characters who act as physiognomists or palm readers in the fictional world and analyses the fictionalisation of physiognomic lore as a practice of divination in early modern Romance theatre from Pietro Aretino and Giordano Bruno to Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca and Thomas Corneille.

This book examines the effects of Jewish conversions to Christianity in late medieval Spanish society. Ingram focuses on these converts and their descendants (known as conversos) not as Judaizers, but as Christian humanists, mystics and evangelists, who attempt to create a new society based on quietist religious practice, merit, and toleration. His narrative takes the reader on a journey from the late fourteenth-century conversions and the first blood purity laws (designed to marginalize conversos), through the early sixteenth-century Erasmian and radical mystical movements, to a Counter-Reformation environment in which conversos become the advocates for pacifism and concordance. His account ends at the court of Philip IV, where growing intolerance towards Madrid’s converso courtiers is subtly attacked by Spain’s greatest painter, Diego Velázquez, in his work, Los Borrachos. Finally, Ingram examines the historiography of early modern Spain, in which he argues the converso reform phenomenon continues to be underexplored.
