Courtyard tenement housing in 16th century Seville

espanolEste articulo recoge el analisis de una de las tipologias arquitectonicas residenciales modestas mas reconocidas y menos analizadas en el siglo XVI en Sevilla, los corrales de vecinos. Ademas, se debe resaltar la existencia de numerosos corrales repartidos por toda la ciudad en el Siglo de Oro, y se ha reflejado el analisis de su ubicacion, nombres, construccion y espacios: se han localizado sobre el plano de la ciudad en dicho periodo, se han dibujado los inmuebles descritos en los apeos literarios formulando hipotesis en planta para facilitar la comprension y analisis arquitectonico y, por ultimo, se han caracterizado y analizado los espacios, su construccion y dotaciones, todo ello a partir de los apeos y de los dibujos realizados EnglishThis paper contains the analysis of one of the most well-known and modest architectural types of residence in the 16th century Seville: courtyard tenement housing. Besides, it should be highlighted the existence of a great number of them distributed inside the walls of the city in the Golden Century, and an analysis of location, names, construction and spaces have been studied based in literary surveys and drawings: first there have been identified twenty seven cases of study later located in an elaborated map of city; secondly drawings based in literary surveys have been made to facilitate the architectural analysis and the specifications of this residential type; and finally, the courtyard tenement housing –spaces, construction elements, water supplies, sanitation, etc.– has been characterized and fully studied

The Sevillian Church of San Bernardo and its enviroment: the previous temples

espanolEl templo actual de San Bernardo marca la transicion entre la arquitectura barroca a la neoclasica en la ciudad de Sevilla. Se edifico entre 1780 y 1785, segun proyecto del arquitecto diocesano Jose Alvarez. En este articulo se dan noticias de los dos templos anteriores y de su barrio. En primer lugar, se erigio una ermita en el siglo XIII, que debio estar fortificada por hallarse a extramuros. A comienzos del siglo XVII, se edifico una iglesia de estilo manierista, en la que intervinieron los arquitectos Asensio de Maeda y Miguel de Zumarraga. Se derribo en 1780 para edificarse el templo actual, de mayores proporciones, incorporando el solar de unas casas EnglishThe current San Bernardo Temple marks the transition between Baroque and Neoclassical architecture in the city of Seville. It was built between 1780 and 1785, according to the project of the diocesan architect Jose Alvarez. This paper gives news of the two previous temples and their neighborhood. First, a hermitage was erected in the 13th century, which should have been fortified, because it was located outside the city walls. At the beginning of the 17th century, a Mannerist style church was built, in which the architects Asensio de Maeda and Miguel de Zumarraga took part. It was demolished in 1780 to build the current temple, of greater proportions, incorporating the lot of some houses

Memory of a lost legacy. The General Chapter of the Order of Alcántara celebrated in Seville, year of 1511

espanolLa disgregacion, perdida, deterioro y destruccion de los docu-mentos que algun dia conformaron el archivo del convento de San Benito de alcantara ha supuesto una laguna inestimable en el estudio de la Orden de al-cantara. gracias a los trabajos de Bonifacio palacios Martin, luis Corral val, Dionisio angel Martin Nieto y Jose Maria lopez de Zuazo y algar se consiguie-ron grandes avances en la recuperacion de los testimonios escritos de la institu-cion alcantarina. Este trabajo pretende continuar esa linea con la publicacion de los autos del Capitulo general celebrado en el ano 1511, conservados de forma fragmentaria en el archivo Historico de la Nobleza, que narran el papel de la Orden de alcantara en la recta final del periodo de transicion que supuso el reinado de los Reyes Catolicos y, en su caso, la administracion del reino de Castilla de mano de fernando el Catolico EnglishThe disgragation, lost, deterioration and destruction of the documents that some day they formed the archive of the convent of San Benito de alcantara has suppossed a priceless lagoon in the study of the Order of Alcantara. thanks to the works of Bonifacio Palacios Martin, Luis Corral Val, Dionisio Angel Martin Nieto y Jose Maria Lopez de Zuazo y algar great progress were made in the recovery of the written testimonies of the alcantarine institution. this work intends to continue this line with the publication of the acts of the general chapter celebrated in the year 1511, fragmentarily preserved in the Historical archive of the Nobility, that narrate the role of the Order of Alcantara in the final stretch of the transition period that suppossed the reign of the Catholic Kings and, where appropriate, the administration of the kingdom of Castilla by hand of Fernando the Catholic

“Cofradas” and devotees: the role of women in the Penitential Confraternities in Seville in the reign of The Austrias (1538-1701).

espanolEn este trabajo queremos presentar el papel que tuvieron las mu-jeres dentro de las cofradias penitenciales de Sevilla durante el reinado de los Austrias. Lo haremos mediante el uso de dos fuentes fundamentales para estudiar-las: el archivo del Arzobispado de Sevilla y los archivos de las distintas cofradias actuales. Estos documentos reflejan plenamente como vivian, se organizaban y sentian las mujeres miembros de este gran colectivo dentro de la Iglesia catolica. Por tanto, estudiar la religiosidad cofrade es tambien estudiar el sentir religioso de los laicos. Nos centraremos en cuatro aspectos fundamentales: sus calidades, recibimiento y cuotas de entrada, las cofradas (doncellas, viudas, religiosas, ex-tranjeras y nobleza), las profesiones y las mujeres en el gobierno de las cofradias EnglishIn this paper we aim to show the role that women had in the penitential confraternities in Seville during the reign of the Habsburgs. In order to achieve our purpose we have used two fundamental sources: the archive of the Archbishopric of Seville and the archives of the different current confrater-nities. These associations were generally composed of laypersons, which means that their documents show how these people felt and lived. We have studied four different aspects: their qualities, reception and entrance fees, the cofradas (mai-dens, widows, religious, foreigners and nobility), the professions and women in the government of the fraternities

Del Guadalquivir al Nilo : el testamento de Andrea de Razi, 1477, y la comunidad veneciana de Sevilla a finales del siglo XV.

Among the Italian merchant communities settled in the Crown of Castile Venetiansare the least known. It seems clear that in the last decades of the 15thcenturythey were only a few acting from Seville. To approach this group, scholars have mainlystudied the information held in Castilian archives –notarial deeds, royal and municipaldocuments–which are limited both in number and chronology. The discoveryof the testament of Andrea de Razi (1477), which we publish and study for the firsttime, sheds new light on the reality of the Venetian Nation in the Iberian Peninsulaand allows to enlarge our knowledge of the mercantile network and the commercialstrategies developed. At the same time, it reveals more solid connections of Sevillewith the Eastern Mediterranean, related to the exports of oil (Venice), and antimonysulphate (Alexandria).

New data on the authorship of Saint Peter the Apostle Church in Peñaflor (Seville)

espanolLa iglesia de San Pedro Apostol de Penaflor (Sevilla) fue construida entre 1780 y 1798 en el contexto de renovacion de la archidiocesis hispalense tras el terremoto de Lisboa. Desde entonces ha ejercido una magnetica atraccion sobre los historiadores del arte basada en su anomala configuracion tipologica respecto de los habituales modelos eclesiales diocesanos y en la incertidumbre que ha venido rodeando a su autoria, atribuida hasta ahora a Antonio de Figueroa. El presente trabajo expone la primera parte de su historia constructiva, que desvela, como dato de mayor interes para la historiografia de la arquitectura sevillana, que el verdadero autor del templo fue el alarife ecijano Antonio Caballero y Garcia. EnglishSaint Peter the Apostle Church in Penaflor (Seville) was built between 1780 and 1798, in a context of renewal of the archdiocese of Seville after the Lisbon earthquake. Since then it has exerted a magnetic attraction on art historians, based on its anomalous typological configuration in respect to the usual diocesan ecclesial models and the uncertainty that has surrounded its authorship, attributed up to now to Antonio de Figueroa. The present work expresses the first part of its constructive history, that reveals, as data of greatest interest for the historiography of the Sevillian architecture, that the true author of the temple was the master mason Antonio Caballero y Garcia.

La génesis en el documento notarial castellano. El caso del término de Sevilla durante la edad moderna

This paper deals with the public notaries, or public scribes, working at the Kingdom of Seville, in Castille, during the second half of the 16 th century. We have focused our study on the public documents elaborated by these professionals in order to determine what the process of writing these public instruments consisted of, what these instruments were, in how many phases they were set, who was responsible for the implementation of each of these phases and if they were similar to those described in other territories. The division of tasks and the internal organization of the offices are also analysed

La traducción hacia el inglés de las señales turísticas de Sevilla: problemas y consecuencias para el turismo

A pesar de la importancia del turismo en la economía española, en este país no se presta demasiada atención a la traducción de contenidos turísticos. Esto provoca en la práctica situaciones incómodas, como lo ocurrido en la ciudad de Sevilla, donde la traducción de las nuevas señales turísticas ha sido objeto de crítica en numerosos medios, especialmente en redes sociales. Ante esta situación, el presente trabajo plantea un análisis de las traducciones de dichas señales y propone soluciones más adecuadas desde un punto de vista traductológico. En él se concluye que la traducción resulta incongruente en cuanto al uso de técnicas y presenta errores de todo tipo, por lo que las señales no cumplen su objetivo de prestar un servicio de orientación y ubicación de calidad para el turista extranjero. Así pues, se vuelve a constatar la falta de profesionalización del sector y la invisibilidad de la labor traductora profesional.

Residents' journal review

The position of the lower incisors to the underlying mandibular symphysis should be maintained in a healthy relationship throughout orthodontic treatment. The aim of the current study was to analyze and determine if there is a statistically significant correlation between facial growth pattern, Holdaway ratio, symphyseal morphology, and lower incisor position, as well as validate a previous analysis performed by Aki et al. A sample of 100 white adult patients was randomly selected from the University of Seville in Spain. Manual measurements were made from the pre-treatment cephalograms at four different time points by two separate operators. The operators assessed symphyseal height/width (H/A) ratio using the Aki analysis, symphyseal morphology (constructed by point B–menton line and the mandibular plane), and facial growth pattern (determined using the Jarabak-MSE analysis retro-occlusion variable). Facial growth pattern, the Holdaway ratio, and H/A were found to be statistically significant (P < 0.05). The study concluded that anterior mandibular bone support and lower incisor position differs among patients, and that symphyseal morphology is related to both facial growth pattern and lower incisor inclination. Dolichofacial patterns trend towards a narrower symphysis, while broader symphyses are indicative of brachyfacial patterns. These facial patterns can then be further related to lower incisor position using the Holdaway ratio and symphyseal H/A ratio, which showed that larger degrees of lower incisor proclination are associated with dolichofacial patterns and a narrow symphysis, and more upright lower incisors are associated with brachyfacial patterns and a wider symphysis. Therefore, orthodontists must understand the limitations on lower incisor movements depending on each patient's symphyseal morphology and facial growth pattern.

Media consumption patterns on new generations. Behavioral analysis applied to journalism students from the University of Seville

La evolucion de la tecnologia esta acelerando el cambio del ecosistema de medios de comunicacion y generando innovadores modelos informativos que cada vez logran conectar mas a las nuevas generaciones. Jovenes fascinados por la accesibilidad, la conectividad y la inmediatez que internet ofrece. Son esos nuevos escenarios mediaticos los que constituiran el entorno natural del periodismo de manana. Las futuras generaciones de periodistas han nacido de la mano de dispositivos como smartphones, tablets u ordenadores portatiles, que constituyen herramientas laborales tan naturales hoy dia como lo han sido un boligrafo y una libreta para generaciones anteriores. Esta realidad, cada vez mas latente, exige al periodismo adaptarse a esa innovadora cultura de red y asumir las transformaciones necesarias que garanticen su rol primordial de “perro guardian de la sociedad”. Por otra parte, ?que tipo de prensa consumen los futuros periodistas? ?Con que frecuencia? ?A traves de que canales? El presente trabajo constituye un estudio sobre los habitos de consumo de informacion de los estudiantes universitarios de hoy, periodistas del manana, descubriendo y analizando sus gustos, intereses y afinidades. Este estudio pretende aportar luz sobre la evolucion del periodismo, su conexion con las nuevas tecnologias, las fuentes de acceso a la informacion por parte de los jovenes y el papel de los periodistas del manana. Para ello se llevaran a cabo una serie de encuestas a estudiantes de periodismo de la Universidad de Sevilla para su posterior analisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de los resultados obtenidos.

Una monografía por un pintor que nunca existió

In this paper we defend scientific usefulness of monograph in recent studies about History of Art. We have adopted this measure taking into account the ‘state of the art’ in researches about Modern Art in Andalusia. We support this opinion with a special case: the monograph of Francisco Frutet, a flemish painter who was working in Seville in the middle of the Sixteenth Century. In 2012 we were fortunate to carry out a publication about this historiography phenomenon and we could show that this artist never existed.

Amicitia and caritas in the 7th Century: Isidore of Seville and His Sources

Key words : amicitia; caritas; justice; unity; Isidore of Seville; Laelius; Cicero; Visigothic Spain. Abstract : The article studies the reception of Cicero’s Laelius in Isidore of Seville’s sententiae 3, 28-32, that offers the only extant theoretical conceptualization of amicitia as a form of interpersonal relation during the 6th and 7th centuries AD. Over the period, caritas was regularly used to describe social relations. Accordingly, the study’s key question is: how was classical concept of amicitia reintegrated into the Christian discourse of 7th century Roman-Barbarian Spain? The article suggests that the question of true unity in friendship was central for Isidore: he reconsiders patristic model of grounding amicitia in caritas that was interpreted as both the principle of right behaviour towards the neighbour and a ground of general political and religious unity of gens Gothorum . Thus, Isidore attempts to correlate the personal relations of amicitia with the principle of caritas that rules and unites the society. This suggestion helps to explain why Isidore pays attention to the ideal of friendship represented in Cicero’s Laelius . In the final analysis, the study tries to explain why Isidore builds the chapters on friendship from quotations and allusions on Laelius , suggesting that by these means Isidore’s text according to the principles of writing of Late Antiquity, established a set of references between relevant problems of unity and relations in 7th century Visigothic Spain and the authoritative text of the tradition. Riassunto : Nel presente contributo viene studiata la ricezione del Laelius ciceroniano nelle sententiae di Isidoro di Siviglia (nello specifico, 3, 28-32), che offrono l’unica concettualizzazione teorica dell ’amicitia , intesa come forma di relazione interpersonale, tra il VI e il VII secolo d.C. In questo periodo, era regolarmente usato il termine caritas per indicare il piano delle relazioni sociali. Costituisce allora il focus di questo studio il seguente interrogativo: come e stato reintegrato il concetto classico di amicitia nel pensiero cristiano della Spagna romano-barbarica di VII secolo? L’articolo cerca di dimostrare che la questione della vera unita, all interno dell amicizia, costituisca un tema centrale di riflessione per Isidoro di Siviglia: egli rivaluta il modello di stampo patristico, che consisteva nel fondare l’ amicitia sulla caritas e che, inoltre, era interpretato sia come principio di un retto comportamento verso il prossimo sia come terreno di intesa comune, religiosa e politica, per la gens Gothorum . Isidoro tenta cosi di correlare i rapport personali di amicizia con la nozione di carita che regola e rinsalda le relazioni sociali. Cio contribuisce a spiegare perche egli rivolga attenzione all’ideale di amicizia presentato nel Laelius . In ultima istanza, lo studio si propone di illustrare la ragione per cui Isidoro si serva, per scrivere i capitoli sull amicizia, di citazioni e di allusioni tratte dal Laelius . In questo senso, nel testo, in ossequio ai principi che regolano la scrittura della tarda antichita, si innesta una trama di riferimenti, tra i problemi riguardanti l’unita e le relazioni nella Spagna visigotica del VII secolo e il testo consegnatoci dalla tradizione.

Movimientos sociales y acceso a bienes y servicios. Propuesta de marco analítico a partir de un análisis comparado de casos: confrontación política de personas desocupadas (Argentina) y ocupación de vivienda (España)

Este trabajo es fruto de la colaboración entre investigadoras de dos Unidades Académicas de Trabajo Social situadas en España y Argentina. El objetivo general es proponer un marco analítico que permita explicar el resultado de la acción de movimientos sociales en el acceso a bienes y servicios, concretamente a partir de la comparación dos fenómenos que provocan movilización social, el desempleo a través de las expresiones territoriales de las personas desocupadas (Córdoba, Argentina) y la vivienda a través de la ocupación de edificios por parte de personas desahuciadas (Sevilla, España). El trabajo incluye la descripción de los casos de cada país, y los conceptos nucleares de análisis, la innovación social comunitaria en el caso español de ocupación de vivienda y la confrontación política en el caso de Argentina. Finalmente se discuten unas conclusiones que presentan las dimensiones propuestas para un marco analítico que responda a la relación movimientos sociales y acceso a bienes y servicios.

Digital competences of non-university students

This research aims to know the level of digital competence that non-university education students have from their own perspective. In addition, hypotheses have been made to know if there are differences in these perceptions according to different sociological variables. For the evaluation of the digital competences, the theoretical model proposed by Ala-Mutka (2011), for the systematization and /or breakdown of digital competence, was adapted on a Likert scale. In this research an intentional sampling is applied circumscribed to centers previously identified as centers that have participated in the "School 2.0 Program" selected by the Center of Teachers of Seville as centers of good ICT practices.The sample consists of a total of 336 students, 49,8% were boy-students and 50,2% are girl-students, of which 50,3% were Primary school students and 49,7% are Secondary. Overall, the results show that students perceived to have an average level of digital skills. Moreover, significant differences in this perception as to be detected if the students have internet at home (ρ = 0.012), if they have received ultra-laptops in schools (ρ = 0.001), and with respect to the age at which the students began using the computer (ρ = 0.038). The results obtained here are relevant to appraise the impact of ICT policies and digital competences of students.

Are first-year nursing students' lifestyles coherent with their future career?

Nursing students are going to be professionals in the near future, and as carers, it will be essential for them to behave in a way that will allow them to have a positive influence on the health of others as well as their own health. The objective of this study was to evaluate the lifestyles of first-year nursing students of 2 universities (one in Spain and the other in Colombia). A cross-sectional descriptive study design using validated surveys was adopted. A sample of 140 nursing students enrolled in 2014 in their first year of 2 universities (Seville in Spain, n = 37, and Antioquia in Colombia, n = 93) self-reported the FANTASTICO Lifestyle checklist. Findings reveal that (1) the lifestyles are not appropriate in 1 of 3 of nursing students in both universities and (2) there are statistically significant differences for family items, positive thinkers, the use of safety belts, and alcohol consumption before driving. A high proportion of the study's participants have inappropriate lifestyles that involve risks for the deferred development of chronic diseases. It is necessary for universities to develop educational interventions in the design of nursing degrees to strengthen healthy behaviours during training.
