Aquest treball respon a tres propòsits. El primer consisteix a recuperar els noms de la secció femenina del Partit Socialista Unificat de Catalunya (PSUC) a Girona durant la Guerra Civil. El segon busca traçar-ne l’evolució a través de les notícies recollides en premsa i les aportacions textuals que les integrants van fer a Front. Òrgan del PSU de C [IC] i portantveu de la U.G.T. L’objectiu final és veure si les dones del PSUC van arribar a desenvolupar una consciència específicament feminista, més enllà de la de classe, per a la seva emancipació.

This article addresses the role of women in Catholic charismatic renewal, with reference to the movement in both the United States and England. It examines the renewal in relation to a wider mid-century context in which the role of Catholic women was being re-evaluated. It looks closely at the role of women in Catholic prayer groups, showing how while a ‘rediscovery’ of the Spirit contributed, broadly, to a democratising tendency where the laity were concerned, the place of women was contested. It shows how the dominant approach to gender to emerge in the United States – a patriarchal model linked to high profile charismatic ‘covenant communities’ in the upper Midwest cities of South Bend and Ann Arbor – did not have the same influence in England, where a more egalitarian approach tended to develop. This study of gender in the Catholic charismatic renewal is therefore also a case study of the ‘glocality’ of the Catholic charismatic movement.

This article investigates the first generation of peasant farmers elected to modern representative assemblies in Denmark. I argue that the contributions of the first peasant farmer politicians are an important but overlooked part of the history of democratisation in Denmark. The peasant farmer members were uneducated and unable to speak in a way considered suitable for parliament. For that reason, they were deemed unfit for political participation by their contemporaries and have been similarly judged in most of the existing literature. The peasant farmer members were not as timidly passive as they have been described. Instead of speaking, they used petitions to gain a voice in parliament. The farmer members thus introduced petitioning as a form of political participation in parliamentary politics, a practice that remains central to popular politics today. The actions of the peasant farmer politicians challenged the existing boundaries of what was considered appropriate political practice and thereby expanded the repertoire of forms of political participation available to the uneducated majority of the population.

En este trabajo, abordaré ciertos aspectos que considero relevantes para pensar una historia con fuentes orales. Para ello, me serviré de un conjunto de estudios que han aportado a consolidar los andamiajes de la llamada historia oral a la luz de los aportes conceptuales de las teorías feministas y de género y reflexiones vinculadas a la problemática de clase. Puntualmente, me focalizaré en una dimensión de la ciudadanía política: votar, según la construcción de las mujeres que votaron por primera vez en Argentina en 1951.

Este artigo pretende apresentar e problematizar as representações sobre História e Memória na série de jogos eletrônicos Assassin’s Creed entre 2007 e 2015. Esses games pretenderam reconstituir diferentes e múltiplos tempos históricos a partir da imersão de um personagem do presente nas experiências de um antepassado por meio da tecnologia. Os jogos eletrônicos, setor cada vez mais importante da indústria cultural, representam o passado por meio de mecanismos particulares: narrativa contada através de eventos, ambientes que permitem a exploração espacial e, sobretudo, as possibilidades de interatividade com esses elementos. Através da dimensão popular da circulação de mercadorias culturais audiovisuais, condicionam e impactam o imaginário de certos momentos históricos ao reinterpretá-los à luz de discussões contemporâneas e de seu próprio formato. No caso de Assassin’s Creed, essa releitura constitui uma visão supostamente multicultural do passado lido em uma conspiração dicotômica entre a luta entre dos Assassinos, defensores da liberdade, contra os Templários, que utilizam mecanismos sociais para a ordem, o controle e a tirania. Fundamentam estas perspectivas, interpretações próprias sobre a “verdade histórica”, a memória coletiva e o objetivo de criar um produto de entretenimento. Palavras-chave: História. Memória. Videogame.

Today’s technological-scientific prospect of posthumanity simultaneously evokes and defies historical understanding. On the one hand, it implies a historical claim of an epochal transformation concerning posthumanity as a new era. On the other, by postulating the birth of a novel, better-than-human subject for this new era, it eliminates the human subject of modern Western historical understanding. In this article, I attempt to understand posthumanity as measured against the story of humanity as the story of history itself. I examine the fate of humanity as the central subject of history in three consecutive steps: first, by exploring how classical philosophies of history achieved the integrity of the greatest historical narrative of history itself through the very invention of humanity as its subject; second, by recounting how this central subject came under heavy criticism by postcolonial and gender studies in the last half-century, targeting the universalism of the story of humanity as the greatest historical narrative of history; and third, by conceptualizing the challenge of posthumanity against both the story of humanity and its criticism. Whereas criticism fragmented history but retained the possibility of smaller-scale narratives, posthumanity does not doubt the feasibility of the story of humanity. Instead, it necessarily invokes humanity, if only in order to be able to claim its supersession by a better-than-human subject. In that, it represents a fundamental challenge to the modern Western historical condition and the very possibility of historical narratives – small-scale or large-scale, fragmented or universal.

Abstract We provide a novel perspective on “regularity” as a property of representations of the Weyl algebra. We first critique a proposal by Halvorson [2004, “Complementarity of representations in quantum mechanics”, Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics 35 (1), pp. 45–56], who argues that the non-regular “position” and “momentum” representations of the Weyl algebra demonstrate that a quantum mechanical particle can have definite values for position or momentum, contrary to a widespread view. We show that there are obstacles to such an intepretation of non-regular representations. In Part II, we propose a justification for focusing on regular representations, pace Halvorson, by drawing on algebraic methods.

Although currently on a declining trend, large scale piracy off the coast of Somalia cannot be safely dismissed as a thing of the past: since the mid-2000s, piracy in the Western Indian Ocean has put in peril the international and regional security. Maritime threats are interdependent, asymmetric, persistent, shifting and generated by manifold and mutually-reinforcing root causes, hence their high probability of recurrence or relocation in the absence of a generally improved and self-sustaining security environment. Confronted with these complex challenges, numerous state and non-state actors have taken steps to prevent, mitigate or suppress piracy off the Somali coast. Within the security governance framework, the present paper outlines the major actors activating in the counter-piracy field in the region and their specific responses, focusing on the comprehensive measures undertaken by the EU in this realm.
