This article aims to demonstrate how La muerte feliz de William Carlos Williams proposes a rewriting of the maternal as a way of recreating the archipelagic identity that rubs against various traditions. Friction is understood as that which incorporates fiction and non-fiction in a natural way, while at the same time blurring those limits that the publishing market has tried to put before it in order to clearly catalog its products.

Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, conflicts and clashes between different powers in the border territories of America did not stop growing. And each of the participants in that colonial race sought native allies to use them as military support units. But the different European nations also needed information for their possible actions, and misinformation for their rivals. Among the most obvious examples of this dynamic is the vast territory of Louisiana. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses the first military campaigns of the War of Castilian Succession, contested from 1475 to 1479. From a traditional perspective, investigation had focused on the conflicts around the Douro, although in this work we aim to highlight the importance of Castilian peripheral territories during the first stages of the war, especially in the border between Portugal and Extremadura, one of the most violent fronts between 1475 and 1477.

At the end of the past century the fringe of Castilla y León bordering the Portuguese North and Centre has emerged as a destination of national and regional «inland tourism». This historical territory, though handicapped by its peripheral situation and its rural features, has preserved its rich and diverse human and natural heritage over generations. Resources consisting of physical environment, scenic landscapes and elements of the material and immaterial heritage are now touristically exploited due to public and private sector activities engaged in economic assistance through regional policies, rural and development programs and trans-border cooperation. However, there is yet a long way to go in order to consolidate the commitment to tourism in the «Raya» and to unite both sides of the border with common projects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
