The Fornes table in Granada: a protohistoric site where you can sit the bases of scientific dissemination from the research from the archaeological record

2024-07-09T18:01:24+00:00

In 2022, in collaboration with the Fornes City Council and the Provincial Council of Granada, the PROMETEO research group (HUM-143) began the first archaeological excavations carried out in an emblematic site, such as La Mesa de Fornes, dated between the last moments of the Late Bronze Age and the beginning of the Iron Age, with an imposing wall preserved at almost 6 meters high and just over 90 meters long. This site controlled the commercial connection that was established at that time between the indigenous communities of the Vega de Granada and the Phoenician communities on the coast of Malaga.

Culture as a generator of ideology in the university residential colleges of Granada during the years 60-70 of the 20th century

2024-07-09T18:01:24+00:00

Francoism used official culture to impose the single-minded thinking of the Regime. At the same time, there existed an unofficial culture aimed at showcasing authors and works not permitted by the government establishment, demonstrating that there were modes of cultural expression different from those allowed by the State. College residences were places where cultural events could take place, events whose content would have been very difficult or impossible to occur elsewhere, involving the transmission of ideas contained in the recited, performed, projected, or discussed works by individuals either belonging to or external to the college environment. This cultural dissemination continued after Francoism as a means of advocating for changes in the new stage that was opening up in the Spanish political landscape. Despite being a supposedly closed environment, the reality was that the cultural events of the Colleges were aimed at the general public, not just members of the university community.

“Mohamothizing heretics” in 18th century Granada: lineages, diaspora and leads of Sacromonte

2024-07-09T18:01:24+00:00

Between 1728 and 1731 a series of autos de fe took place in Granada involving some 250 people accused of «Islamizing». These autos de fe caused a great commotion in Granada, as they affected prominent figures in the life of the city, and produced a large amount of documentation. The purpose of this essay is to review this documentation, focusing on the following aspects: the Moorish elites (in particular the Figueroa and Aranda families) and their possible enemities and rivalries with other families of the oligarchy, the survival of the population of Islamic origin in the peninsula after the expulsion of 1609-14 and their contacts with the diaspora, as well as the observation of Islamic beliefs and rituals, some of them invented or the product of a process of syncretisation, among which stands out the Morisco belief in the Plomos del Sacromonte as an Islamic text.

Elena Poirier: more than a child’s illustrator

2024-07-09T18:01:25+00:00

Este artículo tiene como objetivo dar a conocer las obras sobre Andalucía creadas por Elena Poirier en su viaje a España, fechado a mediados del siglo xx. Poirier fue una artista chilena ampliamente reconocida en el mundo de la ilustración por sus numerosos dibujos para revistas y cuentos infantiles. Sin embargo, y a pesar de la sobresaliente labor que Poirier desarrolló en este ámbito, se sabe muy poco acerca de esta otra faceta artística, que tiene como fruto un numeroso conjunto de ilustraciones muy interesantes sobre su estancia en España y, en especial, en Andalucía. Por ello, hemos creído importante dedicar un artículo al trabajo que Elena Poirier realizó fuera del marco de las revistas El Peneca o Simbad.

Ancient communications in the pre-Betic mountain range. About the Baza-Alcaraz itinerary

2024-07-09T18:01:25+00:00

This work aims to give an overview of an itinerary present in the cartography of the early 18th century between the towns of Baza (Granada) and Alcaraz (Albacete). The imprecise graphic representation and the null written references to this route make it very difficult to define the route of this road. However, these pages serve to present the documentation available to us at the time of this report, our proposed route and the interpretative possibilities opened up by the existence of this itinerary.

The properties of the College of the Society of Jesus in Granada in the 18th century: the Santa Catalina and Alboyar estates

2024-07-09T18:01:25+00:00

The purpose of this work is to approach two rural properties of the College of San Pablo of the Society of Jesus in Granada: the Santa Catalina estate and the Alboyar estate, belonging to the Partido del Temple. To do this, various sources will be used, with the «Catastro de Ensenada» being a notable one. Through the analysis of these properties in the Kingdom of Granada, the goal is, on one hand, to deepen our understanding of them, and on the other hand, to demonstrate the originality of the Jesuit production model, which was completely distinct from the pattern of agricultural exploitation in Andalusia during the Old Regime.

New data about Mudéjars and Morisks of Guadix: from the establishment of la Morería to the congregation of the royal chapel (1490-1526)

2024-07-09T18:01:25+00:00

This article analyzes the documents referring to Mudejars and Moors ceded by the family of Alfonso Labella Dávalos to the Municipal Archive of Guadix. This new documentation allow us to better understand the evolution of the city’s population of Islamic origin during the Mudejar period and the beginning of the Moorish period, clarifying aspects Little known up to now such as the establishment of the Morería in the city, the assets ceded to the Council in the Alhama river, the so far unknown second repopulation of 1518 and the royal decrees of September 1526 that sought to eliminate the abuses suffered by the Moors to pave the way for the acculturative measures that the Board of the Royal Chapel of Granada would establish shortly after.

“From May to Saint Michael, I want to be a shepherd of sheep”: the structural analysisof the agricultural system of Gérgal

2024-07-09T18:01:25+00:00

This article deals with the presence of transhumant livestock in the southeastern area of the Sierra de Los Filabres. The analysis carried out in 2023 on a large complex of stone structures located in the town of Gérgal (Almería) is shown, which until now had no previous studies. The application of a methodology based on Landscape Archeology and Architectural Archeology, together with the use of information and communication technologies through a Geographic Information System (GIS), have allowed us to obtain novel data about the magnitude and nature of these historical structures, and interpret them as part of a transhumant livestock production system. This in turn has allowed us to understand in greater depth the importance of livestock farming in the study area, confirming the existence of a large-scale transhumant model during modern times.

Family care between two centuries: Granada and Jaén in testimonies of romantic travelers and costumbrist writers

2024-07-15T19:09:08+00:00

This study analyzes family practices related to health in Granada and Jaén in the period between centuries, from the 19th to the 20th. The approach is produced through the works of romantic travelers and costumbrist writers, who, in their exaltation of the local culture, provide very descriptive testimonies about the everyday world, showing customs and traditions used in the domestic environment for health care. The therapeutic options that the texts include range from the most institutionalized to a diversity of culturally inherited empirical knowledge. The comparative analysis of the sources shows the validity that a good part of that familiar knowledge continues to have in our daily life. In conclusion, the opportunity offered by the recovery, renovation and revaluation of the traditional knowledge testified in the sources to reinforce caregiving skills in contemporary families, as well as their cultural identity, is proposed.

To understand the role of the last Trastámara at the end of the war in Granada (april 1491-may 1492). Everyday life, ceremony and warrior projection

2024-07-09T18:01:25+00:00

This paper examines the role of the offspring of the Catholic Monarchs during the last military campaign against the Nasrid kingdom of Granada. In order to carry out this fact, it is necessary to locate the prince, princess and infantas in Santa Fe or in border fortresses such as Córdoba, Alcalá la Real o Moclín. The inquiry will be used to contrast their presence, or not, during January 2, 1492, their task on the day of the oficial entry into the city and their subsequent chores for the following six months.

Nicolás Ramiro Rico: cultural criticism, student activism and scientific avant-garde in interwar Granada

2024-07-09T18:01:25+00:00

In the second half of the 1920s, a group of students burst into the intellectual life of Granada. Attracted by personalities such as Federico García Lorca and Fernando de los Ríos, some of these young people began their academic training at the University, took part in the activities of the Ateneo and collaborated in projects such as the review Gallo and the Federación Universitaria Escolar. One of them, Nicolás Ramiro Rico, stood out early on as a cultural critic, student activist and researcher on Law. Based on his articles in the press, his readings, his practices as an agitator and his research work on Jean Bodin, this article reconstructs the intellectual environment in Granada during the Silver Age, the youth culture of the young avant-gardists and the formation of the Granada School of Political Law, and reflects on the relationship between intellectuals and the town.

Women owners in the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada (14th and 15th centuries)

2024-07-09T18:01:25+00:00

The decline of the last fully Islamic kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula and the way of life of the women who inhabited it constitute a topic of research that, although long known, still requires specific studies to contribute to a clearer and more accurate understanding of their reality. The proposal of this work is based on an approach to the women who lived in the final years of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada (14th-15th centuries), given the wealth of documentation available on this historical context, and considering the exceptional circumstances of this territory. Therefore, through a total of 107 documents consulted in which women appear as property owners, an exploration is presented of their way of life and above all their ability to own real estate according to the social and political context of the time.

Modern in Secondary Education: from historiography to the classroom

2024-07-09T18:01:25+00:00

The purpose of this article is to propose a teaching of history that tries to establish links with current social phenomena and problems that make this knowledge basic for the development of educational competencies; in addition to reflecting on the relevance of the Modern Age in the historical and civic education of Secondary Education students. Firstly, the evolution of content on the Modern Age in the Spanish curriculum since 1990 has been detailed, in comparison with the trajectory of modernist historiography in the 21st century. Secondly, the research has focused on analyzing the treatment of the Modern Age in Secondary School textbooks in Spain with the previous educational law (LOMCE), carrying out an analysis of the contents of this historical period and its activities according to its typology, cognitive level and historical competencies. Finally, the third study has focused on the most relevant images about this historical era according to future teachers. The analyzes carried out on the curriculum, textbooks and teachers in training show how a historical story still survives with little reflection on the social problems of the Modern Period. These results confirm the need to redefine a historical education that develops historical and critical thinking skills, and that allows a constant dialogue in the present and the past.
