La historia entre la memoria y el olvido. Un recorrido teórico

Los interrogantes sobre nuestros vínculos con el pasado ponen en juego teorizaciones que, con frecuencia, se basan en binomios, como el de historia/memoria o el de memoria/olvido. El primero caracteriza la historia como una disciplina que toma distancia de los hechos universalizándolos, contrastándolos con una memoria viva, cargada de las emociones y contradicciones que se desprenden de los protagonistas de los hechos que se estudian. El segundo ubica la memoria del lado del deber ético y como condición sine qua non para la conformación de identidades, mientras que el olvido queda relegado a una voluntad de ocultamiento, asociado al afán de impunidad. En el presente trabajo se recuperan dichos pares a la luz de bibliografía clásica y actualizada, con el fin de desandar las formas conceptuales en las que se basan numerosos análisis del campo de la memoria y de la historia.

JEWS of India: An updated Bibliography (Works Cited post 2005)

This work is updating Nathan Katz's annotated bibliography about Indian Jewry which ends in citations earlier than 2005 or so. Any pre-2005 items missing in Professor Katz bibliography have been included here. Jews have lived in the Indian subcontinent for a long time. Jewish traders have a long history of connecting with the Indian west coast people. Judaism is one of the first foreign religions. Though they are a religious minority. They have lived in India without any instances of anti-Semitism, a unique feature of Indian landscape. This work is a part of my literature survey and bibliographies on MINORITY religions and people of India.

From the Editor

From the Editor Andy Cain Scholarship on the life and works of Sidonius Apollinaris is thriving like never before (for a continually updated bibliography, see https://sidonapol.org/). This special issue of JLA is a splendid representative of this upsurge in Sidonian studies. Clustered around the theme of "The Muses and Leisure in Sidonius Apollinaris," it showcases eight cutting-edge papers which focus on the "literary" Sidonius and variously explore the interlocking themes of otium and poetic inspiration in his writings. On behalf of the editorial board, I am delighted to report that the Journal of Late Antiquity has been honored with the 2019 "Codex Award" by the Council of Editors of Learned Journals. This award, which JLA garnered also in 2013, is bestowed once per year in recognition of excellence in a journal that covers any subject before 1500. Needless to say, the most deserving honorees are our outstanding contributors who choose JLA as the venue of their innovative work. [End Page 1] Copyright © 2020 Johns Hopkins University Press

Intravascular ultrasound guidance improves patient survival (mortality) after drug-eluting stent implantation: review and updated bibliography.

Individual studies IVUS vs angiography-guided DES implantation studies, whether randomized clinical trials or registries are underpowered, to show a reduction in mortality, especially at 1year of follow-up. However, either meta-analyses or the few studies with long-term (> 5year) follow-up showed that IVUS guidance reduced mortality and improved patient survival, even with second-generation DES.

Catalogue of the primary types of marine molluscan taxa described by Tommaso Allery Di Maria, Marquis of Monterosato, deposited in the Museo Civico di Zoologia, Roma

We have compiled a complete list of new marine molluscan taxa introduced by Tommaso Allery Di Maria, Marquis of Monterosato (1841-1927). The dates of publication of every single work have been checked against available evidence, and an updated bibliography is also presented. Finally, the type material of all marine taxa expected to be in the collection Monterosato (presently preserved in the Museo Civico di Zoologia in Rome) has been searched in the main collection, and all retrieved specimens have been catalogued. A large majority of the material has been found, representative specimens of each taxon have been illustrated, and remarks on nomenclature and taxonomy have been provided yielding 42 new synonymies, 46 nominal taxa rediscovered, and 6 new combinations.

A Bibliography of Littleton’s Tenures as an Archetype for the Study of Early English Legal Printing

For hundreds of years, bibliographies have been invaluable tools for researchers, collectors, and institutions, to provide contextual understanding as well as adding depth to collections. In this piece, the author uses his updated bibliography of the first 200 years of Littleton's Tenures to examine many aspects of early English legal printing. These include the development and evolution of the content of early legal materials, as well economic and other factors driving the market for printed law books. Preceding the bibliography is a list of fundamental bibliographic terms concerning early printing, contextually applied to Littleton's Tenures.

Physical Evidence for Ritual Acts, Sorcery and Witchcraft in Christian Britain: A Feeling for Magic ed. by Ronald Hutton

Reviewed by: Physical Evidence for Ritual Acts, Sorcery and Witchcraft in Christian Britain: A Feeling for Magic ed. by Ronald Hutton Debora Moretti KEY WORDS Debora Moretti, Ronald Hutton, Physical Evidence, Ritual Acts, Sorcery, Witchcraft, Christian Britain, Evidence of Sorcery, Evidence of Witchcraft, Late Medieval, Early Modern, Matthew Champion, Timothy Easton, June Swann, Brian Hoggard, Dinah Eastop, Deliberately Concealed Garments, DCGP, Tabitha Cadbury, Owen Davies, Chris Manning, Ian Evans, Archaeology ronald hutton, ed. Physical Evidence for Ritual Acts, Sorcery and Witchcraft in Christian Britain: A Feeling for Magic. Basingstoke UK and New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2016. Pp. xiv + 261. The study of magic and witchcraft, usually the domain of historians, ethnographers, and anthropologists, has had for at least the past fifty years a love-hate relationship with archaeology. Since the late 1980s, however, this troubled relationship has evolved together with the general interest in the materiality of magic and witchcraft which belongs to a wider recent material-cultural turn. The first and foremost complete contribution to the development of the archaeological study of magic and witchcraft came from Ralph Merrifield who, in 1987, published a survey of material objects indicating the existence of ritualistic and magical behavior in ancient pagan contexts and also in Christian medieval and early modern contexts in Britain. Ronald Hutton’s edited volume, Physical Evidence for Ritual Acts, Sorcery and Witchcraft in Christian Britain, published in 2016, not only wants to pay respect to Merrifield and his outstanding work, but also addresses and further analyzes the issue thoroughly, confirming two important points discussed by Merrifield: the general misinterpretation of deposits indicating magical or ritual activity in archaeological contexts; and the longevity of the reluctance of archaeologists and historians to approach material evidence of magic in Christian contexts. It also gives evidence of a general—if somewhat slow—and welcome change of attitude toward this topic, which has risen on the back of the widespread academic interest in the history of magic and witchcraft in medieval and early modern Europe. This edited volume presents the [End Page 141] reader not only with an updated bibliography of the major studies related to the material evidence of magic and witchcraft, but is itself a fundamental part of this new wave of research, focusing as it does on the study of a set of British material objects and of architectural markings “revealed by casual discovery or collected from owners” (6) related to magic ritual practices showing continuity in medieval and modern Christian Britain. The volume is divided into four main sections, preceded by an introductory chapter where Professor Ronald Hutton gives a brief but exhaustive overview of the historiography of this study of material culture which “is now becoming a recognized sub-discipline of history” (5) and where he brilliantly discusses the importance of this new approach to the understanding of the perception of magic and witchcraft. The first part of the volume focuses on the evidence of marks and symbols which indicate an apotropaic nature. Matthew Champion opens this section with a detailed study of the recent large scale surveys of graffiti inscriptions found in medieval churches in England. While a good part of these graffiti have a well-defined spiritual or devotional character and sit within the orthodox liturgy, many others “appear to have been created in non-traditional forms” (15). These inscriptions fall under the category of “apotropaic symbols, or ritual protection marks—sometimes misleadingly referred to as ‘Witch marks’ ” (17). They seem to be a constant element in medieval churches across Europe and perhaps are indicative of a direct connection between the individual and the divine. From apotropaic marks and symbols found in churches, the next chapter, written by Timothy Easton, summarizes apotropaic marks and symbols in domestic buildings, which seem to derive from the ones found in churches. Particular attention is placed in the discussion of “assembly marks” made by carpenters; Marian letters which survived the reformation; candle burn marks and the practice of applying biblical texts and homilies around the internal walls of houses which became popular during the second half of the sixteenth and first half of the seventeenth-century. Easton concludes his survey of apotropaic markings and symbols with a reminder of...

British Writings on Romania: From Travel Accounts to Studies

ABSTRACTThis article surveys a sample of sources of the information about Romania available to British readers in nineteenth century British newspapers and periodicals. It traces first contacts between the Romanian lands and Britain after the union of the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia in 1859, then after their independence from the Ottoman Empire. The article highlights an increased Romanian interest in British periodicals, which reported and reviewed Romanian literature and scholarship. The article concludes that nineteenth century British newspapers and periodicals offer a great variety and wealth of new material previously unavailable or unknown to researchers. It also states that only a portion of a large quantity of this material has been indexed and is therefore available via the bibliographic sources mentioned in the article. The author argues for the need of a new and updated British-Romanian bibliography, which can draw on new online resources offering access to thousands of new newspapers and periodical records.

Updated catalogue and taxonomic notes on the Old-World scorpion genus Buthus Leach, 1815 (Scorpiones, Buthidae).

Since the publication of the ground-breaking “Catalogue of the scorpions of the world (1758–1998)” (Fet et al. 2000) the number of species in the scorpion genus Buthus Leach, 1815 has increased 10-fold, and this genus is now the fourth largest within the Buthidae, with 52 valid named species. Here we revise and update the available information regarding Buthus. A new combination is proposed: Buthus halius (C. L. Koch, 1839), comb. n. from Portugal and Spain. B. halius is removed from junior synonymy with Buthus occitanus (Amoreux, 1789), and proposed as a senior synonym of B. ibericus Lourenço & Vachon, 2004, syn. n. Moreover, following I.C.Z.N. article 23.9.2 we propose to maintain as valid B. ibericus (nomen protectum) and to consider the disued B. halius as a nomen oblitum. Buthus europaeus tridentatus Franganillo, 1918 is proposed as a junior synonym of B. occitanus (Amoreux, 1789), syn. n. Buthus sabulicola Touloun, 2012 is proposed as a junior synonym of Buthus bonito Lourenço & Geniez, 2005, syn. n. Buthus occitanus tunetanus neeli Gysin, 1969 is proposed as an informal senior synonym of Buthus tassili Lourenço, 2002, informal syn. n. Two taxa are rised to species rank, Buthus nigrovesiculosus Hirst, 1925, stat. n. and Buthus parroti Vachon, 1949, stat. n.. We further confirm the restricted distribution of B. occitanus that is confined to southeastern France and northwestern Iberian Peninsula and does not occur in North Africa. Additionally, Androctonus barbouri (Werner, 1932), comb. n. from the Agadir region of Morocco, is hereby transferred to the genus Androctonus. We summarize and provide a critical appraisal of the diagnostic characters currently in use for the genus. The catalogue section considers the names for species, subspecies and varieties that have been used for Buthus scorpions. Information about types, including collection numbers and localities are included when available. Finally, an annotated listing of synonymies and an updated bibliography are given.

Wind loads on buildings with vaulted roofs and side walls – A review

The recommendations of the Argentinean code of practice CIRSOC 102 concerning wind loads on enclosed buildings with curved roofs are identical to those of ASCE 7, which are based on results published in 1914. Significant differences can thus be expected if this treatment is compared with an updated bibliography. This paper reviews the information available in the open literature, including a number of significant studies written in Portuguese that are not readily accessible, with the CIRSOC 102 treatment then compared with state-of-the-art results. The need to update the code is shown, possible criteria and values are suggested, and research needs are listed.

The World around the Old Testament: The People and Places of the Ancient Near East ed. by Bill T. Arnold and Brent A. Strawn

Reviewed by: The World around the Old Testament: The People and Places of the Ancient Near East ed. by Bill T. Arnold and Brent A. Strawn Yigal Levin bill t. arnold and brent a. strawn (eds.), The World around the Old Testament: The People and Places of the Ancient Near East (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2016). Pp. xxvi + 531. $49.99. This quite massive collection includes thirteen chapters, each devoted to a region or ethnic/cultural group that is either mentioned in, or considered by modern scholars to have had a critical influence on the development of, the OT/HB. As the editors acknowledge in their introduction, such works have been produced before, and the editors duly give credit to their classic predecessors. In light of the new discoveries constantly being made in ancient Near Eastern studies and their continuing influence on biblical studies as well, the publication of a new volume that reflects the scholarship of the past few years is more than justified. The authors of the various chapters are all experts in their fields, which should have resulted in a superb volume. However, the results fall short. Although the editors did not state whom they envisioned as their intended audience, I read the volume with the beginning Bible student or interested layperson in mind, since an advanced student or an academic in the field, while certainly finding some interesting points in the book, would have access to more comprehensive sources of information. The updated bibliography “for further reading” at the end of each chapter also indicates such an audience. With this in mind, the explanation given in the introduction for the book’s not including a chapter on Canaan and the Canaanites is not convincing. (My uninformed guess is that such a chapter was planned and not delivered.) In any case, for the beginning Bible student, the Canaanites are certainly more central than, say, the Hurrians. Another chapter that would have been welcome would have dealt with the Sumerians and the Akkadians. While they are certainly far removed from biblical Israel, so many of the existing chapters allude to them and seem to assume that the reader knows something about them that the editors would have done the readers a great service by including even a short summary of the history of Mesopotamia prior to about 1800 b.c.e. As stated, the various chapters were written by leading scholars in their fields. As expected, their layout changes in keeping with the subject matter. Unfortunately, so does their treatment of their subject’s relationship to the Bible, as well as their overall quality. [End Page 725] In “The Amorites,” Daniel E. Fleming actually begins with the Bible, presenting the Amorites as a major component of pre-Israelite Canaan, but then quickly shifts to treatment of “the Amorites” in late Sumerian documents and the Sumerians’ fear of them, presenting them as “westerners” from a Sumerian and Akkadian perspective (by which point the reader who is unfamiliar with the Sumerians and Akkadians is probably lost). The next several pages mention Martu, ˓apiru, and Aram, with the term Amurru appearing only on p. 7. The next seven pages then describe Mari and its relationship with the Hana and other tribal groups, before returning to describe the biblical Amorites. The section on “Amorite Culture?” is once again mostly about Mari and the ˓apiru. While it is true that modern scholarship has come to realize that the people called Amurru in various sources do not represent a single ethnicity or lifestyle, and that their relation to the biblical “Amorites” is far from simple, all of this could have been stated in a much less complicated way. The next two chapters, “Assyria and the Assyrians,” by Christopher B. Hays with Peter Machinist, and “Babylonia and the Babylonians” by David S. Vanderhooft are arguably the best written in the volume. Both begin with a geographical and historical introduction, summarizing the earlier history and emphasizing the later periods, those that influenced biblical Israel most directly. “Assyria” also gives a little of the history of the discovery of the ancient Near East by modern scholars, explaining why ancient Near Eastern studies in general are called “Assyriology...

Homeric Epic and Its Reception: Interpretive Essays by Seth L. Schein

Reviewed by: Homeric Epic and Its Reception: Interpretive Essays by Seth L. Schein Jonathan Burgess Seth L. Schein. Homeric Epic and Its Reception: Interpretive Essays. New York: Oxford University Press, 2016. Pp. xiii, 225. $75.00. ISBN 978-0-19-958941-8. This collection of essays composed over more than four decades holds together remarkably well, though the range is certainly wide, from close reading of small-scale lexical matters to broader thematic issues. There are twelve chapters in all, ten of which have been previously published, though many of these not in especially prominent publications. As the author explains, the original works have only been lightly revised, though several chapters have postscripts that provide updated bibliography and brief comments. The quality of work is always high, and although some parts of the book are most appropriate for Homeric specialists, the general reader will find most of the contents informative and rewarding. This is especially true for the final two chapters on reception. “‘War—What Is It Good For?’ in Homer’s Iliad and Four Receptions” nicely pairs Simone Weil’s The Iliad, or the Poem of Force with Rachel Bespaloff’s On the Iliad, and Alice Oswald’s Memorial: An Excavation of the Iliad with Christopher Logue’s War Music. Schein compares and contrasts each of the two pairs, which are philosophical and poetic in nature respectively. While appreciative of the brilliance of all four receptions, he also carefully explains how they differ from the Homeric treatment of war. “An American Homer for the Twentieth Century” is thorough [End Page 279] and excellent in its survey of the Iliad and Odyssey in undergraduate great books courses. This necessarily involves discussion of translation, but the essay also insightfully explores the historical and cultural contexts of the employment of the Homeric epics in American undergraduate courses of the last century. Despite the title, only these two final chapters focus on reception, though “Homeric Intertextuality: Two Examples” might be thought to involve a kind of self-reception within Homeric poetry. I found unpersuasive its optimism about allusive interconnections between the Iliad and Odyssey—or their traditions, since the author is aware that a precise definition of the process would be problematic—but the skilled exploration of the possibilities is worthy of consideration. “Mythological Allusion in the Odyssey: Herakles and the Bow of Odysseus” also employs close reading, successfully uncovering the nuanced meanings of the Homeric use of external myth. These chapters provide examples of the many expert interpretations of lexical and metrical matters that appear in the book. Most generally, the book is dedicated to literary criticism of Homeric poetry. Schein pursues this enthusiastically as a unitarian with reference to oral poetics and neoanalysis. A good example of his approach is “Odysseus and Polyphemos in the Odyssey,” which rebuts the analytical interpretation of the Cyclops episode by Denys Page by showing how the scene is thematically embedded within larger themes of the entire epic. Schein’s interest in oral poetics and neoanalysis leads to an interesting pair of chapters about Milman Parry and Ioannis Kakridis. The discussion of Parry perhaps unfairly critiques a late address by him that was only posthumously published, but it reminds us that anthropological approaches in Homeric studies are rooted in romantic notions of recreating historical contexts. The favorable discussion of the often under-appreciated Kakridis is welcome, though the portrayal of Kakridis as a proto-oralist, or a superior unitarian compared to German neoanalytical scholars, is debatable. Schein’s rather expansive approval of very different employments of neoanalysis in more recent scholarship is also an example of the occasional inconsistency that arises in this collection. For example, there are many types of “allusion” that are praised or employed in the course of the book, and one sometimes desires a more thorough and stable statement of methodology. Overall, however, the reader will come away illuminated about the nature of both Homeric scholarship and Homeric poetics. Besides documenting a long and productive career in Homeric studies, the collection reads well in its ultimately cohesive interweaving of recurring topics. As a result, the book convincingly demonstrates the progressively rewarding nature of scholarship about the great Homeric epics. Jonathan Burgess University...

Se presentan los resultados de la identificación del material de la familia Serpulidae (Polychaeta) recolectado en la campaña oceanográfica Fauna II, así como la revisión de citas de presencia íbero-balear desde el catálogo de poliquetos más reciente (Ariño, 1987). Se identificaron 16 especies pertenecientes a 10 géneros, además de la primera cita íbero-balear de una quimera bioperculada (Ten Hove & Ben-Eliahu, 2005) de la especie Hydroides norvegicus Gunnerus, 1768. En cuanto a la revisión del catálogo se mencionan 65 especies, actualizando el nombre de 20 de ellas y añadiendo cinco especies ausentes en el catálogo de Ariño (1987): Hydroides stoichadon Zibrowius, 1971, Laeospira corallinae (de Silva & Knight-Jones, 1962), Serpula cavernicola Fassari & Mòllica, 1991, Spirobranchus lima (Grube, 1862) y Spirorbis inornatus L’Hardy & Quièvreux, 1962. Se cita por primera vez Vermiliopsis monodiscus Zibrowius, 1968 en el Atlántico ibérico y a partir de la bibliografía consultada, se muestra la expansión en la distribución íbero-balear de Hydroides dianthus (Verrill, 1873) y de H. stoichadon.

Innovating in hard time. Spanish firms under pressure in the Cold War

The article analyses the situation that confronted and answers that held various Spanish companies in high technology sectors during the Cold War, primarily due to two factors. On the one hand, under conditions of rapid technology changes on the Spanish companies were a clear technological dependency on multinationals. On the other hand, Cold War was interfering in trade relations with serious obstacles to the normal functioning of the market economy. This contribution fits into the integrative and interdisciplinary approach established by Segreto almost four decades after the work of Adler-Karlsson, considered as a pioneer in the field. The condition of Spain as a peripheral country and the diversity of the companies analyzed are important aspects to consider. The work updated bibliography and incorporates new primary sources, including the business and the official.
