Artistic Circulation between Early Modern Spain and Italy
This collection of essays by major scholars in the field explores how the rich intersections between Italy and Spain during the early modern period resulted in a confluence of cultural ideals. Various means of exchange and convergence are explored through two main catalysts: humans—their trips or resettlements—and objects—such as books, paintings, sculptures, and prints. The visual and textual evidence of the transmission of ideas, iconographies and styles are examined, such as triumphal ephemera, treatises on painting, the social status of the artist, collections and their display, church decoration, and funerary monuments, providing a more nuanced understanding of the exchanges of styles, forms and ideals across southern Europe.
Relecturas del pasado. Reflexiones sobre el gusto VI
De acuerdo con el eterno retorno postulado por el estoicismo, el mundo está condenado a repetirse. Nietzsche apuntó que no solo los acontecimientos se repiten, sino también los pensamientos, los sentimientos y las ideas. Una interpretación «cíclica» de la Historia del Arte podría justificar las constantes relecturas del pasado que han proliferado a lo largo del tiempo. De la instrumentalización de la historia por el poder político, a su uso desde la contracultura; de la reinterpretación de la propia vida y obra, a la apropiación de lo que otros han vivido o creado; de las recreaciones historicistas, a las visiones irónicas posmodernas… De revisar fórmulas, discursos, narraciones, técnicas, personajes e ideas versó el sexto simposio internacional Reflexiones sobre el gusto, organizado por el grupo de investigación de referencia Vestigium, cuyas principales aportaciones recoge este volumen.
Adam Smith and the Wealth of Nations in Spain
"Adam Smith's An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations was the product of the rich tradition of the Scottish Enlightenment but the book's fame immediately spread across the whole of Europe. This book looks at the long journey of Smith's ideas from Scotland to peninsular Spain, reconstructing in detail the reception, adaptation, interpretation, and application of Smith's central concepts from 1777 up to 1840. In light of methodological advances during the last two decades in the history of economic thought and the studies on the late Spanish Enlightenment and early Liberalism, the book tackles a series of significant issues and gaps in the historiography. In particular: ...

The Use of Mass Spectrometry Technology (MALDI-TOF) in Clinical Microbiology
The Use of Mass Spectrometry Technology (MALDI-TOF) in Clinical Microbiology presents the state-of the-art for MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. It is a key reference defining how MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry is used in clinical settings as a diagnostic tool of microbial identification and characterization that is based on the detection of a mass of molecules. The book provides updated applications of MALDI-TOF techniques in clinical microbiology, presenting the latest information available on a technology that is now used for rapid microbial identification at relatively low cost, thus offering an alternative to conventional laboratory diagnosis and proteomic identification systems. Although the m...
ROMA QVANTA FVIT IPSA RVINA DOCET
Se agavillan en este volumen seis estudios transversales sobre las ruinas clásicas, redactados en memoria de la Profesora Nicole Dacos. Los dos primeros ofrecen la mirada de un escultor español y un pintor portugués del renacimiento que acuden a Roma para copiar los vestigios de la antigüedad. El derrumbe de la Roma Imperial es utilizado en el tercer ensayo para compararlo con el ocaso sevillano del siglo XVII y mostrar que los inmuebles resquebrajados que aparecen como fondo arquitectónico en determinados cuadros de Murillo generan ambientes como la peste, la crisis económica y la infancia desvalida. Los tres últimos trabajos profundizan, desde la perspectiva actual, en la restauración de las ruinas, en las leyes penales internacionales contra los iconoclastas del Estado Islámico que las destruyen con el ánimo de efectuar una limpieza cultural y en el papel desempeñado por la prensa.

Beyond the Fascist Century
This book evaluates the current and future state of fascism studies, reflecting on the first hundred years of fascism and looking ahead to a new era in which fascism studies increasingly faces fresh questions concerning its relevance and the potential reappearance of fascism. This wide-ranging work celebrates Roger Griffin’s contributions to fascism studies – in conceptual and definitional terms, but also in advancing our understanding of fascism – which have informed related research in a number of fields and directions since the 1990s. Bringing together three ‘generations’ of fascism scholars, the book offers a combination of broad conceptual essays and contributions focusing on particular themes and facets of fascism. The book features chapters, which, although diverse in their approaches, explore Griffin’s work while also engaging critically with other schools of thought. As such, it identifies new avenues of research in fascism studies, placing Griffin’s work within the context of new and emerging voices in the field.
