Given the current wave of nationalisms in Spain, this research project aims to explore the connection between nationalism and women in Galicia, a nation in north-western Spain. Through Lovenduski’s framework of ‘feminising politics‘, and Dean and Maiguashca’s ‘feministisation’ analytical criteria, this qualitative study seeks to identify the process of ‘feministisation’ that has been taken place in Galician nationalism, the role of women activists in this process and the obstacles encountered; ultimately assessing this ‘feministisation’ as a strategy to find a path towards reconciliation.Based on the experiences of women activists collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, the study has identified that the alliance of feminism and nationalism has allowed international and local networks to be interwoven, and it has also positioned feminist values and gender analysis at the core of the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG), one of the institutional organisations within Galician nationalism. Additionally, it has defined ‘feministisation’ as a complex process where the wide context of an internal crisis, the years of collective work by feminist groups and individuals, and the current hegemonic acceptance of feminism in Galician society have played their part. The study concludes that there is substantial evidence to identify a process of feministisation that is taking place within the Galician Nationalist Bloc and that the characteristics and values of this process could become a strategy to forge a path towards a more tolerant and internationalist reconciliation.

ICT constitutes a suitable tool for the generation of joint communicative spaces where manifold variables may converge and a wide range of methodologies and strategies can be activated, thus fostering richer levels of interaction and swift communication between its users. This case describes and analyses the collaborative work experiences with ICT that are being implemented in the third cycle of Primary Education in schools located in north-western Spain (Region of Castile and León). The results evince that teachers hold a positive view once they have used such technology-based approaches, although they demand a better provision of infrastructures and more institutional support, including specific aids for life-long learning schemes. Conclusions of this study have been drawn both to help and to offer some guidance to teachers engaged in innovative, collaborative, and technologically-assisted curricular processes within 2.0 school settings.

<p>The 3D reconstruction of magmatic, metasomatic and/or ore bodies plays a major role in understanding the emplacement mechanisms for magmas and hydrothermal fluids in the upper crust.</p><p>The Gavorrano Intrusive-Hydrothermal Complex (GIHC, Tuscany, Italy) is an excellent case study in which intrusive and hydrothermal rocks, as well as sulphides ore bodies are spatially associated.</p><p>The evolution of the GIHC starts in the early Pliocene with the sequential emplacement, at the contact between the Paleozoic basement (metapelites) and the overlying Mesozoic limestone-dolostone formations, of a cordierite-biotite monzogranite and a tourmaline microgranite. The monzogranite is highly porphyritic with megacrysts of K-feldspar and phenocrysts of quartz, plagioclase, biotite, and cordierite. The microgranite is characterised by a huge number of euhedral microliths (10-500 µm) of black tourmaline set in a quartz-feldspars groundmass. The small size of the Gavorrano intrusion (ca. 3 x 1 km) and its shallow emplacement level (ca. 5 km) resulted in a thin contact aureole (< 100 m thick) made of phlogopite-olivine marble and biotite-andalusite pelitic hornfels. Isoclinal folds in marble are indicative of dynamic crystallization during contact metamorphism and point out an outward sense of movement of the aureole rocks with respect to the granite intrusion. At the contact with the intrusion, marbles were overprinted by a discontinuous (0.1-10 m thick) layer of vesuvianite-garnet exoskarn. Exoskarn, contact aureole and undisturbed host rocks, were subsequently affected by hydraulic brecciation. The closing stage of the evolution of the complex is characterized by mineralizing fluid circulation, producing widespread chloritization-silicification and decametric pyrite bodies (with adularia, fluorite, and base metal sulfides). </p><p>Surface and underground mapping integrated by mining reports and drill logs allow us gave way to the reconstruction of the attitude and shape of magmatic and hydrothermal bodies. The NW-SE elongated intrusion is characterised by a pronounced asymmetry: the eastern part is made of sub-horizontal multiple bodies, locally with both roof and bottom contacts exposed; the western part has an overall sub-vertical, west-dipping attitude. Such an asymmetry is shown by each of the two intrusive units and highlighted by second order features: the monzogranite unit reaches its maximum thickness (0.8 km) in the central-western subvertical zone while in the subhorizontal eastern branches is few hundred meters thick, and the subhorizontal microgranite bodies display steep west-dipping offshoots. The GIHC asymmetry is also exhibited by the hydrothermal system: the pyrite orebodies mantle the top and the western flank of the intrusion, with the two main masses displaying, in vertical section, a sigmoidal shape with a steep west-dipping thick portion connecting upper and lower tails gently dipping to the west.</p><p>The collected data indicate the west side of the GIHC as the focus zone for both magmas and hydrothermal fluids. The overall geometries of the intrusive units and pyrite bodies suggest a sense of movement top-down-to-the-west. This close spatial and shape relationship between intrusive rocks and hydrothermal bodies suggests a common extensional tectono-magmatic regime capable to produce asymmetric crustal traps (dilational structures) for magmas and fluids.</p>
