<p>El presente artículo propone un análisis comparativo de las tres únicas películas realizadas por Hollywood sobre la Guerra Civil española mientras esta se desarrollaba: <em>The Last Train From Madrid</em> (James Hogan, 1937), <em>Love Under Fire</em> (George Marshall, 1937) y <em>Blockade</em> (William Dieterle, 1938). A la postre, se demostrará que, en contra de lo afirmado por buena parte de la historiografía, las tres –y no únicamente <em>Blockade</em>– efectúan una denuncia de la intervención de las potencias del Eje en la Guerra Civil española.</p><p>The purpose of this article is to provide a comparative analysis of the only three films that were made in Hollywood relating to the Spanish Civil War during the period in which it was being waged: <em>The </em><em>Last Train From Madrid</em> (James Hogan, 1937), <em>Love Under Fire</em> (George Marshall, 1937) and <em>Blockade </em>(William Dieterle, 1938). Lastly, it will be demonstrated that, contrary to what has been asserted by a large num- ber of historians, all three – not only Blockade – express criticism against the Axis powers’ intervention in the Spanish Civil War.<br /><br /></p>

Academies and academy students increased substantially in number during the period from the American Revolution to the Civil War. Why? Who were these students and what did academy attendance mean to them? Theodore R. Sizer asked these questions in 1964, but his ability to answer them was limited by the absence of studies that focused on academy students. In this essay I reexamine Sizer's understanding of academies in light of evidence provided by subsequent studies of student populations. These studies include my own comparative analysis of data from nearly 500 Regents academies that operated in New York State between 1835 and 1890, as well as in-depth case studies of individual institutions by myself and others.

A number of the conflicts that wracked European countries under Axis-power occupation during the Second World War can be understood as civil wars. This analytical prism should be seen as complementing rather than replacing the more conventional pairing of collaboration and resistance. The three European cases from this period that best fit conventional notions of civil war in terms of the intensity and duration of fighting among co-nationals are Greece, Yugoslavia, and Italy. A comparative analysis can yield insights into the complex interplay of historical continuities and ruptures, and of nationalist and internationalist frames of reference, in shaping the agendas and choices of participants in these violent struggles.

This paper compares the escalation of civil war in South Ossetia and Kosovo and shows how different modes of transition deeply influenced the timing and type of conflict in these two cases. It argues that regimes resulting from a transition from above – when the elite in power leads the process of regime change and imposes its political agenda on other social actors – are more likely to ensure political stability in the short term, since governments are more cohesive internally, enjoy the support of the military, and can rely on a loyal bureaucracy. In contrast, regimes that emerge from transitions from below are more likely to experience civil war with an ethnic minority in the short term because of an intrinsic weakness of the elite in power. Under these circumstances, the newcomers need to win the loyalty of the military and of the bureaucracy, and separatist groups can take advantage of the incumbents’ weaknesses and try to build resources to militarily challenge the state.

The architect Carlos de Miguel González was the author of the fishing village in Cartagena (Spain). The project promoted by the Instituto Social de la Marina in 1947 consisted of the construction of a housing complex and a Fisherman's House completed in 1955. The work was part of the Plan Nacional de Mejoramiento de la Vivienda en los Poblados de Pescadores which intended to address one of the main concerns of the Spanish state after the Civil War: the problem of poor housing. Thus, numerous actions were carried out along the entire Spanish coast, some published in Revista Nacional de Arquitectura. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to publicize the Cartagena project and the vicissitudes of its construction, as the built work is quite different from the original project. It also aims to highlight its most outstanding features through a comparative analysis with the other projects published in the journal and by studying possible links with the vernacular architecture of the Region of Murcia.

Humility and the humble: A reading of the Nepali short stories of Maheshbikram Shah

This article focuses on a comparative analysis of the chronicling of the civil war in Nepal, within the collection of short stories by Maheshbikram Shah, titled Chapamar ko Choro (‘The guerrilla’s son’), with the novels Palpasa Café by Narayan Wagle and Urgen ko Ghoda (‘Urgen’s horse’) by Yug Pathak, and a memoir, Khalanga ma Hamla (‘Attack at Khalanga’), by Radha Paudel. I argue that the short stories adopt a lens of humility in viewing the conflict as opposed to the totalizing narratives of the novels and the memoir that seek to represent their idea of a humble life. The stories engage with an everyday life of the conflict that overturns its representation into a humble life within the novels. This argument opens up a myriad of questions about forms and ways of seeing: what does it mean to have humility in the face of a conflict? How does humility reconcile with questions of agency and dignity? If humility is a way of seeing, then does it also influence the form taken by the short stories? What are the ethical dimensions of the relationship humility forges between self and others? As the article seeks to answer these questions, the aim will be to establish the short stories of Shah as providing an interpretation of the conflict that remains obliterated within the novels and the memoir.

This essay analyses La Cenicienta (1936), the version of ‘Cinderella’ by Antoniorrobles, pioneer of children's literature in Spain, written towards the beginning of the Civil War (1936–9). Following the triumph of the Nationalists, censorship under Franco prohibited Antoniorrobles’ work. Antoniorrobles’ ‘Cinderella’ contradicts the fundamental premises of the new regime concerning class, gender, religion and race within Spanish society. In a comparative analysis, this essay examines the symbols (dress, king, and cook) and the omissions (religion, race) that appear in the story and that represent resistance to Franco's ideology on a textual level. It also studies how the story deconstructs these elements, taking into account for the basis of comparison the canonical versions of Perrault and the Brothers Grimm, among others.

AbstractWhile much work has been devoted to the causes and consequences of civil war, little has been done to explore the prerequisites for civil peace. We shift the focus from the determinants of war to the preconditions to sustain peace, and address the following question: Are there necessary or sufficient conditions for stable civil peace? We use Qualitative Comparative Analysis to approach this question. We do not find necessary conditions for civil peace, but distinct potentially sufficient paths. These are (i) the presence of a fully democratic regime and (ii) the presence of a strongly autocratic regime, with the latter further requiring either a) the absence of a youth bulge and non-miserable living conditions or b) the absence of ethnic tensions. The first type of civil peace is referred to as inherent civil peace whereas the second type is largely a result of strong repression and thus denoted coerced civil peace.

The article examines the history of the formation of Ukrainian nationalist parties "Svoboda" and "Praviy sektor". First, that they express a structured nationalism and Russophobia in Ukrainian political space. Secondly, in Russia it has become customary to identify one with another. The paper gives an overview of the basic civil identities in Ukraine, Eastern and Western. The author postulates that their conflict lies at the heart of the growing popularity of both nationalist parties. In addition, this process was provoked by the reunion of Crimea and Russia and by the civil war in the south-east of Ukraine. Before the Crimean crisis Ukrainian nationalism had primarily historical roots, and in many respects it was created by attitude of empire elites (the Russian and Soviet Empires) to Ukrainians and their nation-state formations. After March-2014 it began to acquire a geopolitical indication exactly - Russia is perceived as an enemy. Two of the most famous actors of the Ukrainian nationalists and anarchists parties in modern Russia are "Svoboda" and "Praviy sektor". They have fundamentally different origins. "Svoboda" is a systematic force in Ukrainian politics for almost 20 years. Unlike it "Praviy sektor" was established like a party only in December 2013 within a framework of the Euromaidan. Due to the inability to compare the electoral history of both parties the author pays attention to the comparative analysis of their ideologies. Specific manifestations of extremism of "Svoboda" and "Praviy sektor" are not subjects of this research.
