Universitat de Barcelona, La. Història dels ensenyaments (1450-2010)
Aquest llibre presenta, monogràficament, cada un dels estudis que s’han impartit a la nostra Universitat al llarg de la història. En aquest sentit, és el lògic complement i el segon volum del ja publicat amb el títol Universitat de Barcelona. Libertas Perfundet Omnia Luce. 1450 (Barcelona, 2008). Aquell primer volum constituïa una història institucional en el sentit més específic del terme i es dedicava a explicar les vicissituds per les quals la institució ha travessat al llarg del temps i el lloc que ha ocupat en la societat catalana i en la comunitat científica en general. Aquest que ara presentem ens fa adonar, a partir de cada un dels ensenyaments, de la magnitud de l’esforç col•lectiu i de la il•lusió de tots els que han format, formem i formaran part de la Universitat de Barcelona per assolir una universitat pública, catalana i de qualitat.

Listening to Confraternities
Listening to Confraternities offers new perspectives on the contribution of guild and devotional confraternities to the urban phonosphere based on original research and an interdisciplinary approach. Historians of art, architecture, culture, sound, music and the senses consider the ways in which, through their devotional practices, confraternities acted as patrons of music, created their identity through sound and were involved in the everyday musical experience of major cities in early modern Europe. Confraternities have been studied from many different angles, but only rarely as acoustic communities that communicated through sound and whose musical activities delimited the urban spaces in which they were active. Contributors: Nicholas Terpstra, Emanuela Vai, Ana López Suero, Henry Drummond, Ascensión Mazuela-Anguita, Ferrán Escrivà-Llorca, Noel O’Regan, Magnus Williamson, Xavier Torres Sans, Erika Honisch, Alexander Fisher, Konrad Eisenbichler, Daniele Filippi, Dylan Reid, Elisa Lessa, Antonio Ruiz Caballero, Juan Ruiz Jiménez, Sergi González González, and Tess Knighton.
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.
Antiquarian Literature in the Sixteenth Century
During the sixteenth century, antiquarian studies (the study of the material past, comprising modern archaeology, epigraphy, and numismatics) rose in Europe in parallel to the technical development of the printing press. Some humanists continued to prefer the manuscript form to disseminate their findings – as numerous fair copies of sylloges and treatises attest –, but slowly the printed medium grew in popularity, with its obvious advantages but also its many challenges. As antiquarian printed works appeared, the relationship between manuscript and printed sources also became less linear: printed copies of earlier works were annotated to serve as a means of research, and printed works could be copied by hand – partially or even completely. This book explores how antiquarian literature (collections of inscriptions, treatises, letters...) developed throughout the sixteenth century, both in manuscript and in print; how both media interacted with each other, and how these printed antiquarian works were received, as attested by the manuscript annotations left by their early modern owners and readers.
"Visual Propaganda, Exhibitions, and the Spanish Civil War "
Visual Propaganda, Exhibitions, and the Spanish Civil War is a history of art during wartime that analyzes images in various media that circulated widely and were encountered daily by Spaniards on city walls, in print, and in exhibitions. Tangible elements of the nation?s past?monuments, cultural property, and art-historical icons?were displayed in temporary exhibitions and museums, as well as reproduced on posters and in print media, to rally the population, define national identity, and reinvent distant and recent history. Artists, political-party propagandists, and government administrators believed that images on the street, in print, and in exhibitions would create a community of viewer...
Cicero's Brutus
Cicero's Brutus is a history of Roman oratory, in the form of a dialogue between Cicero, Atticus, and the eponymous Brutus. This new edition by Douglas R. Thomas presents the first comprehensive study of the transmission of the text, a critical edition of the Latin text, and a textual commentary. The first part of the book presents the study of the manuscript tradition, employng the stemmatic method to establish the relationships between all 107 extant manuscripts of Brutus, and demonstrating that the stemma has three independent branches in the first part of the text and four in the second. The study also shows that the ninth-century Cremona fragment is part of the long-lost archetype, the ...
Petita història de Procés Tècnic. Una visió de la informatització dels fons documentals a la Universitat de Barcelona
El 1979 la Biblioteca de la Universitat de Barcelona va començar a confegir un catàleg bibliogràfic per mitjans informàtics, en una experiència pionera a l’Estat espanyol. Aquest projecte i d’altres que es van avaluar, dissenyar i implementar més endavant van revolucionar la manera d’oferir els serveis bibliotecaris al públic. La responsabilitat de gestionar el catàleg i dotar-lo de coherència va recaure en Procés Tècnic, una àrea centralitzada que tenia la missió d’estudiar normatives, unificar criteris, establir protocols i crear instruments per difondre la informació. L’autora d’aquest llibre, que va treballar a Procés Tècnic des de la seva creació fins al 2009, en repassa la història d’aquests anys a partir de documents, informes i anotacions interns, emmarcant-la en el context d’una època en què l’aplicació de les noves tecnologies era tot un repte.
