Diplomat, Egyptologist, writer and historian, Eduard Toda is remembered as the man who rescued the Algherese dialect of Catalan from oblivion and who helped rebuild the monastery libraries of Escornalbou and Poblet. On the occasion of the seventy-fifth anniversary of his death, this paper reviews Toda’s book collecting activities, his general love of books and his outstanding work as a benefactor of libraries, which together contributed to enriching our country’s book heritage. The paper then turns to Toda’s relationship with the school for librarians the Escola de Bibliotecàries, which was founded thanks to his donation of a number of book collections to the Library of Catalonia. As recorded in the archives of the old Escola, this relationship was based on a number of different activities: Toda’s trips to Escornalbou, which also provided an opportunity for cultural study; his organization of periods of residence for student librarians at Poblet to help rebuild the monastery’s library; his creation of classes in book restoration in degree courses in librarianship; and the creation of a workshop for restoring library materials, which for many decades helped to link the Escola and the Library of Catalonia. Finally, as the article shows, Toda’s ties with the Escola de Bibliotecàries were reinforced by the mutual affection existing between him and the school as well as by the activities he organized with its students, which gave the school its singular nature as a place of study during the 1930s.

State and international entities can have profound effects on the development of a country's nursing profession. Through a global health governance lens, this paper explores the development of nursing in Brazil during the early twentieth century, and its intersections with national and international interests. Accordingly, we will show how state policies established an environment that fostered the institutionalization of nursing as a profession in Brazil and supported it as a means to increase the presence of females in nation building processes. The State focused on recruiting elite women for nursing, in part due to the Rockefeller Foundation's involvement in the country. Nurses who worked for Rockefeller came from well-educated classes within US society with specific ideas about who should be a nurse and the roles of nurses in a healthcare system. These women served as the primary vehicles for interacting with Brazilian health authorities responsible for health system development. Their early efforts did not, however, ensure a system capable of producing nursing human resources at a rate that, in present day Brazil, could meet the health needs of the country. Findings from this paper offer new avenues for historians to explore the early roots of professional nursing through a global health governance lens, improve the understanding of the intersection between international politics and professionalization, and highlight how these factors may impact nursing human resources production in the long term.

The paper explores the new forms of organizing the social sphere from the key of hybridization. The object of analysis is placed on the interrelationship between the public and private sphere in the context of biographic narratives. The paper specifically focuses on the movement of public to private and the resulting transformations, putting forward two conflicting interpretations called: spectacularization and politicization. In the course of the paper an ad hoc survey of blogs is taken as a starting point and a corpus of selected personal blog is semiotically analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is aimed, firstly, at suggesting the need for in-training Primary Education Teachers to build up general knowledge about science structuring contents as well as history of science from a gender perspective. This training in science should help students to analyse the relationships between science-technology and gendersociety throughout history and at present. Secondly, a qualitative research carried out about a proposal developed by Science Didactics students of the Degree in Primary Education in the University of Granada about biographies of female scientists is described. Finally, the results of the research are presented, all leading to some key ideas on how to introduce the gender approach in the teaching of science. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to understand how the concept of 'career' can be applied to a specific chronic disease such as multiple sclerosis. This research is focused on 'careers' as the term is used in Symbolic Interactionism in Sociology. The qualitative research is based on thirty semi-directed interviews, four group interviews with people suffering from multiple sclerosis in French hospitals and associations, and twenty-three observations made over a one-year period. Three stages in the 'careers' of the subjects showed the onset of the disease: the start of the symptoms, the announcement of the diagnosis, which confirms the entry into the disease (and defined life before and after the disease), and the preparation of the 'biographical work'. Depending on how one lives and enters into the 'careers' of the disease, such 'careers' will be more or less complex and different, as will also be the forms of biographical paths.

This paper is based on the professional biographies of six professors identified as excellent by senior students in three programmes at the School of Humanities, Mar del Plata State University. In-depth interviews examined the teachings and practices these instructors encountered along their educational biographies in order to find traces of these experiences in their current lives. The aim is to disclose the subtle ways in which the past influences their academic present. The life histories retrieved reveal the importance of the actors' mentors at the onset of their teaching and research at the university. The recovery of these memories allows the conceptualization of experts' role in the education of novices, thus examining what is traditionally considered as the informal supervision of teaching assistants and junior researchers. In this way, we try to create a site at the university where it is possible to discuss mentors' good practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O presente artigo busca compreender quais foram os enquadramentos utilizados pelos veículos jornalísticos brasileiros de alcance nacional em sua cobertura sobre a possibilidade de publicação de biografias não-autorizadas. A análise de enquadramento é uma modalidade de pesquisa que busca descobrir de que maneira os textos jornalísticos salientaram certos aspectos dos acontecimentos em detrimento de outros (ENTMAN, 1993). Após uma revisão das classificações presentes na literatura sobre as pesquisa de enquadramento, são apresentados os enquadramentos genéricos, ou seja, aplicáveis a qualquer cobertura, que conduzirão essa pesquisa: conflito, interesse humano, consequências econômicas, moralidade e responsabilidade (SEMETKO; VALKENBURG, 2000). O corpus a ser analisado consiste nas 56 matérias publicadas pelos três jornais de maior circulação nacional considerados quality papers: Folha de S. Paulo (21 notícias), O Globo (16) e O Estado de S. Paulo (19), ao longo do mês de outubro de 2013. Os dados encontrados demonstram que o conflito foi o enquadramento mais recorrente na cobertura dos veículos, com 20 aparições, seguido pelos frames responsabilidade e interesse humano. Houve poucas ocorrências dos enquadramentos econômico e moralidade. O destaque do frame conflito confirmou uma tendência já apontada pela literatura de que o jornalismo prefere abordar os temas pelo embate entre os personagens envolvidos.

What is the role of Judeo-Spanish expressions in the life stories written by Ladino-speaking Holocaust survivors? To what extent do the Judeo-Spanish language and expressions determine the center of gravity of the stories? And why do the tellers of the stories choose to incorporate Judeo-Spanish expressions into their Hebrew-written life stories? These are some of the central questions addressed in the present paper, which suggests that the purpose of incorporating Judeo-Spanish to these stories is to render them more powerful and to make the Judeo-Spanish experience more accessible to those who are not part of it. It is interesting to note that it is the very fact that Judeo-Spanish was a minority language in the extermination camps which makes the life stories of its speakers who survived particularly forceful. The Judeo-Spanish language preserved in their memory, which became an “informal language” in the camps, acquires a new vitality in their life stories. We center our discussion on the autobiographies of Greek survivors and on testimonies gathered in interviews with those survivors. We examine the incorporation of Judeo-Spanish expressions to their life stories and the references to the status of the Judeo-Spanish language during the Holocaust.

[es] Este trabajo propone comparar el uso de una misma imagen como estrategias de cierre organizadas sobre diferentes materias significantes: el rostro congelado de Ernesto Che Guevara con que culmina la película “La hora de los hornos”, obra de Octavio Getino y Fernando Solanas estrenada en Italia en 1968, y la imagen del guerrillero asesinado en la viñeta final de la historieta “La vida del Che”, biografía dibujada de Héctor Oesterheld y Alberto Breccia publicada ese mismo año. Dicho recorte analítico tiene el propósito de observar las gramáticas visuales puestas en juego en el marco de un proceso histórico que reconoce nuevos modos de socialización del arte y un contorno político que carga de significados la resolución de ambas obras. [en] This paper proposes to compare the use of the same image as strategies of closure organized on different “significant materials”: the frozen face of Ernesto Che Guevara with which the film “The Hour of the Furnaces” ends, movie of Fernando Solanas and Octavio Getino that was released in Italy in 1968, and the image of the murdered “guerrillero” in the final vignette of the comic “The life of Che”, biography drawn by Hector Oesterheld and Alberto Breccia and published the same year. This selection in the analysis proposes to observe the “visual grammars” that have played in the framework of one historical process which recognizes new manners of socialization of art and a political outline that charge of meanings the resolution of both works.

This paper focuses on the construction of biographical narratives among adepts of the esoteric-mystical movement called Sunrise Valley, which appeared in Planaltina in the late 60’s, incorporating elements of Catholicism, Spiritualism, New Age and African-Brazilian religions. Our research aims at understanding how biographical paths are closely linked to the symbolic efficacy of the ritual processes performed by the mediums of this movement. Our analysis of the narratives will consider the process of displacement in the fields, as understood by Bourdieu, but highlighting the process of performativity given to such shifts through the interactive construction of the self.
