Book excerpt: «Querido Pierre, a quien nunca volveré a ver aquí, quiero hablarte en el silencio de este laboratorio, donde no pensaba que tendría que vivir sin ti. Y, antes, quiero recordar los últimos días que vivimos juntos». Con estas palabras abre Marie Curie la entrada de su diario (30 de abril de 1906) en la que recoge el terrible pesar por la muerte accidental de su marido Pierre, con quien había compartido pasión científica y descubrimientos cruciales acerca de la radiactividad, por los que fueron galardonados con el Premio Nobel de Física. El desgarro por la pérdida del ser más querido, pero también la evocación de los momentos de plenitud personal y científica, los rigores de la competencia académica o la forma de encajar esos elementos en su condición de mujer son algunas de las facetas que reflejan los extraordinarios escritos reunidos por vez primera en el presente volumen, entre los que descuellan la biografía que escribió sobre su marido y una extensa semblanza autobiográfica, así como las notas de laboratorio redactadas en los años del descubrimiento del radio y el polonio, además de secciones de su diario personal. Estas piezas componen una suerte de «Curie confidencial» que nos permite conocer de primera mano, desde la inmediatez y la intimidad personales, algunos episodios decisivos de la ciencia del siglo xx, y adentrarnos en los anhelos, conquistas y sentimientos de una mujer pionera en casi todos los frentes. Una vida y una vocación a través de su propia voz. (Selección y prólogo de Xavier Roqué.) Autor: Marie Curie (1867-1934), licenciada en Física y Matemáticas, se doctoró en 1903 con un estudio sobre las sustancias radiactivas que la hizo merecedora, junto a su marido Pierre Curie y Henri Becquerel, del Premio Nobel de Física de ese mismo año. Catedrática de Física en La Sorbona en 1906, recibió un segundo Premio Nobel en 1911, en esta ocasión de Química, por el descubrimiento del radio y el polonio. Junto a su eminente papel científico, su vida tuvo un importante sesgo público y se convirtió en uno de los rostros más célebres de la ciencia de principios del siglo xx. Colaboró activamente en mejorar la atención médica a los heridos en los campos de combate de la Primera Guerra Mundial, fundó en París y en su Varsovia natal instituciones científicas para el estudio de la radiactividad y recibió, sobre todo en sus últimos años, homenajes y reconocimientos de todo orden, incluido un viaje a los Estados Unidos en 1921. Sus restos reposan en el Panteón de París, con lo que se ha convertido en la primera mujer en recibir semejante honor. La introducción ha sido redactada por Xavier Roqué, profesor de Historia de la Ciencia de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona y especialista en la historia de la física del siglo xx, a la que ha dedicado trabajos y ediciones de textos sobre radiactividad, relatividad y mecánica cuántica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting more than seventy documents from Spanish archives that provide a rare glimpse into Benjamin Franklin’s connection to Spain. Although Benjamin Franklin never set foot in Spain, from 1774 until his death in 1790 he maintained contact and correspondence with a wide range of Spanish officials and intellectuals. As a diplomat, Franklin carried papers to Paris naming him minister to Spain, yet he remained in the French capital where he dealt with Spain’s ambassador to France, the formidable Count of Aranda. Beginning with Franklin’s exchange of gifts with the Don Felipe Bourbon, the King of Spain’s third son, and ending with his induction into Spain’s Royal Academy of History, The Diplomacy of Independence explores a facet of Franklin’s life previously overlooked yet documented in the archives of Spain. This book makes available more than seventy Franklin-related documents housed in various Spanish archives. The majority of documents are in Spanish or French, while a few are in original English. Some are in Franklin’s hand, while others relate meetings in which Franklin participated, or as in one case, the actual minutes in which Franklin was inducted into the Royal Academy. All documents are presented in their original language, as well as in an English translation. Annotations provide contextual information, each document has an introduction that relays pertinent information relative to their archival locale, so that historians and the curious will be able to locate the original with little effort. The Diplomacy of Independence not only contributes to the already extensive knowledge of Benjamin Franklin but also highlights Franklin’s and his colleagues’ efforts in assuring Spain’s key aid and involvement in the American Revolutionary war. Contributors: Russ Davidson, Genoveva Enríquez, Patricia Kurz, and Celia López-Chávez.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Spain consolidated its Empire in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, discourses about the perfect Spanish man or "Vir" went hand-in-hand with discourses about another kind of man, one who engaged in the "abominable crime and sin against nature"—sodomy. In both Spain and Mexico, sodomy came to rank second only to heresy as a cause for prosecution, and hundreds of sodomites were tortured, garroted, or burned alive for violating Spanish ideals of manliness. Yet in reality, as Federico Garza Carvajal argues in this groundbreaking book, the prosecution of sodomites had little to do with issues of gender and was much more a concomitant of empire building and the need to justify political and economic domination of subject peoples. Drawing on previously unpublished records of some three hundred sodomy trials conducted in Spain and Mexico between 1561 and 1699, Garza Carvajal examines the sodomy discourses that emerged in Andalucía, seat of Spain's colonial apparatus, and in the viceroyalty of New Spain (Mexico), its first and largest American colony. From these discourses, he convincingly demonstrates that the concept of sodomy (more than the actual practice) was crucial to the Iberian colonizing program. Because sodomy opposed the ideal of "Vir" and the Spanish nationhood with which it was intimately associated, the prosecution of sodomy justified Spain's domination of foreigners (many of whom were represented as sodomites) in the peninsula and of "Indios" in Mexico, a totally subject people depicted as effeminate and prone to sodomitical acts, cannibalism, and inebriation.

Book excerpt: La muestra está organizada en seis espacios distintos, además de una sala de cine y una biblioteca. Las tres primeras estancias (A, B y C) tienen un planteamiento cronológico y muestran la historia de la neovanguardia de los años sesenta y la poesía experimental de los setenta a través de obras, documentos, fotografías, libros y revistas, entre otros objetos. Los espacios D, E y F, con un enfoque más formal, muestran una selección de obras relacionadas con la poesía experimental. En la primera de ellas, el espectador puede contemplar una selección de 50 poemas experimentales en una edición digital especialmente desarrollada para esta exposición. A través de las pantallas puede accederse a destacados ejemplos de poesía visual, poemas sonoros y poesía textual. En el espacio E se muestran ejemplares de poesía sonora, de poemas-objeto y libros-objeto y de poesía-acción. En la estancia F se muestran obras de autores españoles y no españoles cuya relevancia viene dada por su participación en exposiciones internacionales de poesía experimental. La exposición se completa con una biblioteca y una sala de cine, en la que se pueden visionar algunas películas de aquellos años, caracterizadas por la abstracción y las transgresiones estéticas defendidas también desde la poesía. Entre ellas se encuentra Pêche de nuit, realizado en 1963 por varios autores, entre otros Henri Chopin, creador de la poesía sonora fallecido el pasado año. También pueden verse dos películas de Javier Aguirre dedicadas a Julio Campal y Jorge Oteiza. La biblioteca pretende ayudar al visitante a conocer algunas publicaciones de poesía experimental, y permitir a los expertos profundizar en los aspectos teóricos y prácticos del género.
