This paper has been structured in three areas. In the first one, the author shows the relevance that words and conversations among individuals have on social research, both terms being very important to the well-known sociologist and writer Franco Ferrarotti. In the second part, the author explains the necessary qualitative methodology to be used when analysing a main topic. In the third one, the author analyses the reality of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) from the gender perspective to detect if they are or not a reflection of that Spanish reality regarding sex discrimination. Finally, this paper states the challenge the Spanish society needs to face to outweigh sex inequality without excluding the NGOs or any other form of association. This paper calls for the involvement of society, which along with the state and market, has an important task to accomplish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper concerns a passage in a lost work by Diego de Valera in defence of conversos, dedicated to Lope de Barrientos, bishop of Cuenca, and against a friar who preached in that town, where the author was born and lived at that moment (1458). We analyse both the specific circumstances that led to the composition of the text, which are linked with Mosen Diego's biography and the local political situation, and its ideological and literary aspects, especially its relation to the rest of Valera's works.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the relationship between the Spanish poet Jorge Guillén and the English Hispanist John Brande Trend through the correspondence they exchanged in the time period between the 1930s and the 1950s. It is not a full catalogue and comprises only sixteen letters. The exile is a topic that comes up frequently in them, one of the main reasons that triggered this correspondence, and is present in many of the letters: first during the war when Guillén asked Trend, then a university Professor of Spanish in Cambridge, for his support to be appointed reader in Cambridge, which would allow him to leave Spain; and in the following decades, when nostalgic memories of the Spain of the Twenties surface in their words.

This paper deals with the evolution of Spanish women from the last two decades of the nineteenth century until the 1980s as presented in La enredadera (1984) by Josefina R. Aldecoa, with a focus on the diachrony of socio-cultural discourses and the analysis of the female protagonists' emotions. Far from the traditional association of emotion with weakness and irrationality, and following theorists such as Arlie Russell Hochschild, June Crawford, Michel Foucault and Anthony Giddens, emotions are regarded here as systems of representation: they have a capacity for agency, can be modified depending on the individual's recognition of her inner experience, and influence how we understand the world and who we are.

The paper presents an investigation of two modes of compensatory education programmes in elementary schools in Spain, integrated and segregated, and it effect on students' development. For this purpose an ethnographic study using case-study methodology was undertaken in two school in Madrid with students from cultural minorities. Five students from each school participated in the study (one from each school stage, between 4 and 14 years of age). Assessment included language and mathematics learning tests, reading, a self-concept scale (Piers-Harris) and a sociogramme. The tutors, other professionals of the same centre and the pupils' families were also interviewed. The results were analysed both qualitative and quantitatively. They show that neither mode of education offers an adequate educational response. However, overall, the school centre with an integrated approach achieves better results. Finally, the results are analysed from Bronfenbrenner's bioecological theory (1997), and some suggestions to improve educational practice in compensatory education are put forth.

The article discusses the history of Andean textiles following the Spanish conquest and during the establishment of the colonial system from the late 16th century to the early 17th century. It asserts that textiles were the primary form through which pre-Hispanic inhabitants of the Andes gave shape to and communicated their ideas, formalized social and political relationships, and interacted with the spiritual world. The article further maintains that Andean textiles and dress revealed information about the economic policy of the Inca state, facilitating the conquest and colonization, and that they informed strategies developed to convert native peoples to Christianity.
