Salvador de Madariaga stands as a prominent representative of Spanish liberalism in the past century, excelling in intellectual, diplomatic, and political spheres. Despite his international recognition, his relative lack of recognition in Spain is attributed to his opposition to Franco's regime, his limited academic presence, and the complexity of classifying his multilingual contributions. Madariaga, characterized as a "Quixote in politics," played roles as an anti-Franco activist, a Europeanist, and an Atlanticist, embodying a utopian Spain. This analysis focuses on recent historiographical interpreta- tions, shedding light on Madariaga's evolution during the Transition, the concept of "liberal" in Spain, highlighting substantial contributions, and pointing out pending questions.

Biography and history have always had a complex relationship. This has been revealed especially difficult in studies on the Spanish transition, with a complicated and tortuous evolution. The objective of this article is to trace a journey through the biographies related to that period of our history and thus learn about the interpretive, documentary, methodological or historiographic problems encountered by this genre. Likewise, I will try to value their contributions, both by assuming a renewal in our conception of the role of the subject in transitional contexts, and by allowing us to address various structural problems from new perspectives.

This article studies the characterization art in a selection of newspaper articles written by the Spanish journalist Manuel Chaves Nogales (Seville, 1897 - Madrid, 1944). Specifically, the investigation analyzes 18 pieces of different genres (chronicles, portraits, interviews) where the character is essential. Through them you can see the evolution in the characterization of Chaves, his quest to reveal the character of people in the news through meaningful scenes by a few strokes that indirectly show their political, social and journalistic concerns.

This article is an analysis of the experience of a European medieva.ist over a period of forty years of teaching, research, and cultural management in biographical code, but also an outline of a future treatise on the theory and methodology of history needed in the 21st century. It is also a reflection on the political and cultural ideas that have transformed the meaning of history in France, Italy and Germany. The author has tried to introduce these same ideas into Spain, his native country, where he has done most of his teaching, despite the mistrust of an academic society educated in a pragmatic version of Marxism or in a positivistic form of conservatism.

Biography as a historic and literary genre was first introduced by the 19th century illustrated magazines. It is precisely in these magazines where biography turned into a journalistic genre because it began to respond to an informational purpose and to depict popular characters of the times. The most significant illustrated magazine was La Ilustración. Periódico Universal (1849-1857), thus it is becoming the pioneer in published biographies according to informational, and not only educational, parameters. Through an analysis and classification of the aforementioned illustrated magazine texts, this article aims to contribute to the study of the origins of one of the most visible but least studied journalism literary genres.

Spain was always an important reference in the life and mind of Santayana, and it shaped an indelible ground of wants, emotions and images. But Santayana's mind was educated in the United States of America and "his Spain" dwelled in it fundamentally as an idea: the idea of a protected abode, a sort of fortified refuge or sacred altar where to be on one's own to contemplate the eternal truths. The idea of Spain that the philosopher would eventually develop as the main source of his unique vital and autobiographical metaphor can be traced back through his letters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to explore the construction of the professional identity of Alex (a pseudonym), a physical educator in charge of sport and physical activity in a Spanish prison. To this end, we used a biographical-dialectic perspective based mainly on interviews especially focused on prior experiences, contextual resources and the micropolitical strategies Alex used in his workplace. The search for better job conditions and professional recognition mediated the strategies he used during the daily negotiation of his professional identity. Yet, this identity was also constructed in a dialogue between his experiences in sport and the performance discourse present at the macro-social level. This study exemplifies a particular, yet not unique case of professional socialization that helps illuminate the (re)construction of identity of those physical activity and sport professionals who work in marginal contexts.

Portugal is a turning point in Gabriela Mistral's consular and literary careers. Her convalescence in Lisbon was transformed by the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, as she worked to evacuate endangered Spanish academics, artists, and doctors. When Chilean authorities sought her transfer, her friends issued a storm of invitations from Geneva and Paris, which enabled her to continue contributing to humanitarian relief from Portugal, where she reoriented her interests towards America and increased her work's visibility by obtaining recognition in Europe. Careful study of her actions from Lisbon reveals their impact, which extended past her own life: the emigrants whom she helped contributed to universities and other institutions in Mexico, the U.S., and Argentina. Uncovering these actions comes from engaging in an accurate identification and sequencing of her published and unpublished writings, which reveals how she failed and recovered from her first two consular assignments.

Mónico Sánchez Moreno (1880-1961) was an important figure in the early years of electromedicine, rubbing elbows with world-class physicists like Nikola Tesla. Her main contribution to the field was the invention and commercialization of a portable X-ray generator, replacing the heavy transformer had been necessary to generate power with a lightweight portable device that could work with direct or alternating current at 220 or 125V. This device was easily adaptable to other applications in electromedicine, such as cauterization or disinfection. This indefatigable entrepreneur could have triumphed in America, but preferred to work toward furthering technological development in the land that she loved. Her efforts made it possible to have an affordable device made in Spain that would allow radiological examinations to be done in places where it would have been otherwise unthinkable. In conclusion, Mónico Sánchez Moreno was a self-made woman who deserves to be remembered for her pioneering role in portable radiology., (Copyright © 2021 SERAM. Published by Elsevier España, S.L.U.

On March 2, 1896, the local press in Malaga reported the discovery of X-rays, relating various news items about the use of X-rays and literature about Roentgen's discovery by journalists and other authors. Outstanding among these writings was a periodical directed at the administration and general public called Los Rayos X. Progressively, the first X-ray machines were installed in hospitals during this period, and the first installation in a private medical clinic took place in 1900. In Malaga, the assimilation and progression of the diagnostic and therapeutic use of radiology was slow and affected by peculiarities owing to the social, economic, and cultural circumstances of the period. Influential physicians willing to overcome resistance to advances were able to bring medical practice in Malaga to a level similar to that of other cities., (Copyright © 2019 SERAM.
