Género y TIC en Educación Superior: recursos virtuales no sexistas para el aprendizaje

Resumen Este trabajo presenta el diseño, aplicación y evaluación de recursos virtuales no sexistas para el aprendizaje universitario. Las contribuciones procedentes del feminismo científico han servido para la elaboración de estos recursos. Participan en el estudio 59 estudiantes de un curso de primer ciclo de Pedagogía. Se aplican una escala lickert, un diferencial semántico y una entrevista grupal semiestructurada. Los resultados muestran una valoración óptima de los recursos por parte del alumnado, mostrando que los mejor valorados son los orientados a la práctica (tareas, ejemplos y guías). Asimismo, los estudiantes opinan haber aprendido en tres planos: personal, disciplinar y profesional. El alumnado también valora positivamente los logros en el aprendizaje de competencias a nivel instrumental, intelectual y afectivo.

La cuantificación de la población esclava en la Andalucía moderna. Una revisión metodológica

Neste artigo os autores tratam de revisitar a historiografia produzida sobre a escravidao em Andaluzia durante a Idade Moderna, a qual tentou de quantificar o numero de escravos na regiao. As metodologias e os diferentes tipos de fontes historicas empregadas nesta quantificacao historica sao objecto de revisao metodologica, nomeadamente o uso das fontes notariais e os registros de batismo. Ambas tem sido fontes muito importantes para os historiadores que pesquisaram a escravidao na Andaluzia moderna. Utiliza-se uma perspectiva comparada dos resultados obtidos ate agora acrescentados com nova documentacao primaria, procurando assim oferecer consideracoes de caracter metodologico para poder estudar estes problemas historicos com uma metodologia cientifica extrapolavel a outras regioes e ambitos cronologicos.

Teachers negotiating discourses of gender (in)equality : the case of equal opportunities reform in Andalusia

This article is focused on the analysis of the narratives produced by a group of teachers, experts in coeducation, while they were discussing their everyday activities. They are responsible for the implementation of a Plan for Gender Equality in public secondary schools in Andalusia (Spain). This study is based on contributions about doing gender view, according to which gender is not an attribute of individuals, but a way of making sense of interactions and practising a complex system as functioning on three levels: sociocultural, interactional, and individual. We use these levels to understand gender culture in schools through teachers’ discourse. Our interest lies particularly in the meanings, contradictions, difficulties, and conflicts experienced by expert teachers in co-education. Our study was based on group discussions with teachers in charge of the plan for equal opportunities between women and men in school settings. Results show teachers’ conflicts about meanings and how they are supposed to apply the Equality Plan. We observed interactional levels during these conflicts and analysed how teachers construct and validate their discourse.

Printing presses in Antequera in the sixteenth century

During the 1550s and 1560s, the printing and publishing sectors underwent a deep transformation on the whole of the Iberian Peninsula. the Nebrija business in Granada relied far less on the printing press than on the monopolistic exploitation rights for printing and selling the works of Nebrija. Bibliographical, typographical and philological studies published over the last few decades have recorded some isolated evidence of book printing in Antequera during the first decades of the sixteenth century. Antequera was also attractive to Antonio de Nebrija for another reason: there he would find the necessary capital to support his printing press. The history of the printing press in Antequera in the final years of the sixteenth and early years of the seventeenth century was largely determined by the changes introduced to both the privilege and the text of the Artes or Gramatica . Keywords:Antequera; book trade; Granada; printing press; sixteenth century

Communitas Christiana: The Sources of Christian Tradition in the Construction of Early Castilian Spiritual Literature, ca. 1400–1540

Taking this historiographical background into account, this chapter proposes the supersession of Romantic perspectives and the abandonment of the mythical question on the origins of sixteenth century Spanish mysticism, which necessarily involves drawing a more accurate historical contextualisation with the aid of the large number of documents published over the last few decades. It advocates a historical perspective which regards Western Europe between the late Middle Ages and the early sixteenth century as a cultural community of which the Iberian Christian kingdoms were full members; all nations within this West (including Castile, the Low Countries, England, and Italy), these Christianitas, shared the same Church and the same religious orders, had similar legal structures, participated in the same university system, and were affected laterally by movements towards religious reform. Keywords: Christian spiritual literature; Christian tradition; Communitas Christianitas; Western Europe

Chapter Four The Morisco Problem and Seville (1480–1610)

In the Cortes of 1480, the Catholic Monarchs launched a new religious policy that ordered Muslims and Jews, to dwell in neighborhoods, known as morerias, separate from the Christian population. This new policy marked the end of an era in which Christian society had related to the Mudejars in a spirit of respect. The Mudejars and Muslims living in Seville thus went from leading a fairly insignificant existence in sociological terms, to occupying an increasingly defined and substantial place in Christian social imagery. The Granada war, in which Andalusian troops and noblemen played an outstanding role, was a cruel conflict that brought home the physical experience of life and death confrontation with the Moor. The war contributed to a shift in the human and vital ties between the two sides, leading to an emotional, as well as physical, separation, and to a strengthening of difference as an important social issue.
