ResumenDesde su origen clásico, el desarrollo arquitectónico de los escenarios de masas no ha formado parte de los principales relatos de la historia de la arquitectura. No obstante, su consideración desde el punto de vista de la disciplina difiere evidentemente de su permeabilidad social, como se puede comprobar a través de la relevancia urbana de anfiteatros de la Roma imperial repartidos por Europa o en la popularidad que en el siglo XX han alcanzado de nuevo estas estructuras, a través del renacer moderno de las olimpiadas y de la popularidad mundial de deportes como el fútbol.Protagonizando un arco histórico singular, la posibilidad de aglutinar a grandes masas en eventos propagandísticos, junto con la capacidad de articular el territorio y generar fachada urbana volvieron a hacer de los estadios edificios de gran interés en la primera mitad del siglo XX, comoya había sucedido en la Roma imperial.Este texto profundiza en la relación que establecieron los gobiernos totalitarios de Alemania, Italia y España con esta arquitectura. La convergencia de intereses políticos y sociales se materializó en una serie de estadios promovidos por las autoridades que quedaron claramente caracterizados en su resolución formal.AbstractFrom its classical origin, the architectural development of mass arenas has not been part of the main stories in the architectural History. However, its consideration from the discipline’s point of view obviously differs from its social permeability, as can be seen through the urban relevance of imperial Rome amphitheaters scattered throughout Europe or in the 20th century popularity these structures have reclaimed through the modern rebirth of the Olympics and the worldwide popularity of sports such as soccer.Leading a unique historical arch, the possibility of bringing together large masses of people in propaganda events, together with the ability to articulate the territory and generate urban façade, made the stadiums again buildings of great interest in the first half of the twentieth century, as had happened in imperial Rome.This text delves into the relationship that the totalitarian governments of Germany, Italy and Spain established with this kind of architecture. The convergence of political and social interests materialized in a series of stadiums promoted by the authorities that were clearly characterized in their formal resolution.

El presente artículo establece una discusión teórica sobre la vinculación que existe entre la geopolítica y la seguridad. En este sentido, la discusión se aprecia desde un punto de vista en torno a la evolución que ha tenido la relación entre geopolítica y seguridad, particularmente sobre la forma en que se comprenden tanto los procesos conflictivos y los actores que se ven involucrados. Así, se establece la vinculación desde comienzos del siglo XX hasta la actualidad, donde se percibe la necesidad de comprender tanto a la geopolítica como a la seguridad desde otros puntos de vista en los que incluso sus elementos básicos se ven cuestionados. Se concluye que se requiere una comprensión holística de ambas perspectivas para entender y explicar los nuevos fenómenos conflictivos, sin descartar la totalidad de los postulados clásicos. ABSTRACTThe present article seeks to establish a theoretical discussion about the link between geopolitics and security. In this sense, the discussion is seen from a point of view on the evolution of the relationship between geopolitics and security, particularly on the way in which both conflicting processes and the actors involved are understood. Thus, it is established the linkage from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present, where it is perceived the need to understand both geopolitics and security from other points of view, in which even its basic elements are questioned. It concludes that a holistic understanding of both perspectives is required to understand and explain the new conflicting phenomena, without ruling out the totality of the classical postulates.

ABSTRACTUnderstanding sudcalifornian society today requires the adoption of a perspective that is anchored in the complex thought, given the fact that during the last two decades of the twentieth century it has been the recipient of multiple elements that have served as catalysts for changes and setbacks in the construction of subjectivity. We witness the emergence of advances in terms of what is understood as “development” from an economic point of view, based on the opening to domestic and foreign investment; politically and ideologically we lurch from side to side, with the citizens' vote alternating between personalities deeply entrenched in the community more than being based on concrete political proposals. “Values” in terms of morality and traditions emphasise, on one side, the respect and tolerance which have characterised Sudcalifornia at least for the second half of the twentieth century; but, on the other hand, are skewed towards shaping a society that could be called neoconservative, for it adopts positions and values already vindicated by other societies in the heart of the countryRESUMENComprender en la actualidad a la sociedad sudcaliforniana requiere de una perspectiva anclada en el pensamiento complejo pues a partir de las últimas dos décadas del siglo XX ha sido receptora de una multiplicidad de elementos que han servido como impulsores de cambios y retrocesos en la construcción de la subjetividad. Asistimos a la emergencia de avances en términos de lo que se entiende por “desarrollo” desde la visión económica, con base en la apertura a la inversión nacional y extranjera; política e ideológicamente damos tumbos de un lado a otro, alternando el voto ciudadano más entre personalidades arraigadas en la entidad que con base en propuestas políticas concretas; los “valores” en términos de la moral y las costumbres, por un lado acentúan el respeto y la tolerancia que ha caracterizado a Sudcalifornia al menos durante la última mitad del siglo XX y, por otro, se sesgan hacia la configuración de una sociedad que podríamos denominar neoconservadora, pues adopta posturas y valores reivindicados por las sociedades del centro del país.

La Ciudad de Nueva York fue pionera en la aplicación de un sistema de planificación de control urbano que pusiera orden y concierto a una ciudad que rebasa los 5 millones de habitantes a principios del siglo XX. Tal complejo organismo urbano, inédito hasta ese momento, fue objeto del más ambicioso plan urbano sobre una ciudad construida.Este artículo se destina al estudio de este originario plan urbano de 1916, el cual sentaría las bases, unas ciertamente visionarias otras excesivas, de la construcción de la Ciudad de Nueva York en todo el siglo XX. La Building Zone Resolution se creó con dos fines: resolver los problemas de congestión humana en un espacio reducido, la ciudad del presente, y proponer una visión del espacio urbano en las décadas venideras, la ciudad del futuro.El artículo es un compendio de diez textos cortos y un epílogo, que junto a sus respectivos diez documentos gráficos, construyen el corpus de la investigación. El lector pues se enfrenta a un ensayo gráfico formado por pequeños capítulos que le sumergirán en los orígenes de la primera ciudad vertical de la historia.PALABRAS CLAVE: Nueva York; Planeamiento; Visión urbana.The city of New York was a pioneer in the implementation of an urban control planning system that set in order a city that exceeds five million people in the early twentieth century. Such complex urban organism – invaluable until that moment – was the target for the most ambitious urban planning on a built city.This paper focuses on the study of this initial urban planning from 1916, which would set the basis, certainly some visionary yet others excessive, for the building of New York City throughout the 20th century. The Building Zone Resolution was created with two purposes: to solve the issues related to the human bundle in a limited space, the city of the present, and to aim a vision of the urban space in the forthcoming decades, the city of the future.The article is a compendium of ten short texts and one epilogue, which in combination with ten graphic documents, frame the corpus of this investigation. Thus, the reader will face a graphic essay composed by a series of brief chapters that highlight the beginning of the first vertical city in history.KEYWORDS: New York; Planning; Urban vision.

La referencia constante al civismo es uno de los rasgos más distintivos de la historia urbana de Pereira. Al igual que en muchas ciudades colombianas, la ideología del civismo asume la necesidad de establecer una especie de simbiosis entre la ciudad, sus espacios públicos y sus ciudadanos, tanto en lo material como en lo espiritual. En el caso de Pereira se busca identificar los aspectos más relevantes del discurso cívico que desarrollaron entidades como la Sociedad de Mejoras y el Club Rotario a través de diferentes medios escritos, poniendo especial énfasis en los valores morales que debían exhibir los ciudadanos cívicos o los "ciudadanos de bien" de la ciudad, en el proceso de transformación y modernización vivido a lo largo del siglo XX.Palabras clave: discurso, civismo, prensa, clubes y sociedades, historia local, siglo XX.The discourse of civism in Pereira, or The “sacredness” of public matters during the 20th century AbstractThe constant reference to civism is one of the most distinct characteristics of the urban history of Pereira. Similar to many Colombian cities, the ideology of civism assumes that there is a need to establish a kind of symbiosis between the city, its public spaces, and its citizens, in material as well as spiritual matters. In the case of Pereira, the author seeks to identify the most relevant aspects of the civic discourse which developed entities like the Improvement Society and the Rotary Club, through different written means, putting special emphasis on the moral values which the civic citizens (or ciudadanos de bien) must have exhibited in the process of transformation and modernization experienced throughout the 20th century.

"French composer and pianist Maurice Delage wrote several significant works inspired by his personal contact with the Orient. His travels to India inspired Delage to use innovative sound effects in his compositions, as well as to require his performers to adapt their vocal or instrumental technique to obtain the sound desired by the composer. His representation of the Orient is not a mere evocation of the Other, as is the case with most orientalist works, rather it reflects the composer’s desire to endow Western music with the purity, strength, and vivid colors which he discovered and admired in Indian music. The present paper presents the historical and artistic background which inspired and influenced Delage, the relationship between France and India in the early 20th century and reveals the composer’s idealistic point of view regarding India, its culture, and its music. The analysis focuses on the mélodie cycle Quatre poèmes hindous, composed between 1912 and 1913, striving to reveal the Indian influences in the work of Delage and the way orientalism is represented in French music from the first decades of the 20th century.

Summary The paper essays to give a brief survey of the imposing and complex work of Giacomo Devoto (1897–1974), with particular emphasis on its principal traits seen both from the point of view of the history of linguistics and its scientific significance. Especial attention is drawn first of all to Devoto’s position vis-à-vis Benedetto Croce’s Idealism and the linguistic positivism of the first half of the 20th century. It seems possible to define Devoto’s position as a dialectic one between these two intellectual currents, which eventually led to an historicism, which actually was typical of the Italian linguistic tradition. From this viewpoint then Devoto’s understanding of language as an ‘institution’ is examined, including his intervention in the dispute between N. Ja. Marr and Stalin. After having dealt with his concept of a ‘stylistics of language’, which returns to regarding langue as an historicaland social institution, and its difference from a literary stylistics, Devoto’s Indo-European studies are examined. Here, the question of the relationship between linguistics and the other disciplines concerned with antiuqty is discussed, a relationship which Devotohad been obliged on several occasions to come back to. The ‘Devotian’ position is presented critically with the help of discussions which Devoto himself had entertained, with archaeologists and with linguists.

Epistemological Aspect

En este artículo revisaremos el clásico debate que enfrentó a Simiand y Seignobos en la primera década del siglo XX. Por lo general, la imagen oficial del asunto retiene sólo el aspecto epistemológico de la disputa. Se recuerda a esta última por la crítica de Simiand a los determinismos implícitos (ídolo político, individual, cronológico) en el método de los historiadores. Lo que se propone, sin embargo, en este texto es un cambio de mirada en la comprensión de esta disputa intelectual. Lejos de agotar el interés en la confrontación sobre las prácticas científicas normales, se procederá a insertar la disputa en el marco de una lucha más amplia que opone dos candidaturas (sociología e historia) a la hegemonía de las ciencias humanas de la universidad francesa. Para ello es preciso analizar qué margen de cobertura institucional detentaba en ese momento la disciplina histórica y la sociología en el marco de la enseñanza superior republicana. Por último, se reflexiona sobre la falta de simetría que caracterizó a la relación entre ambas disciplinas, para concluir que tal disparidad quizá sea la causa del semifracaso del ataque durkheimiano frente a los historiadores. In this article we will review the classic(well-known/traditional) debate faced by Simiand and Seignobos in the first decade of the 20th century. Generally, the epistemological aspect of the dispute is considered the main matter at stake. The debate is usually remembered due to Simiand’s critique on the implicit determinisms (political, individual, chronological idol) in the historians’s method. Nevertheless, the purpose of this article is to suggest a change of look in understanding this intellectual dispute. Far from exhausting the discussion on normal scientific practices’ confrontation, the dispute will be studied within the framework of a broader struggle in which two candidatures (sociology and history) strives for the hegemony of the human sciences of the French university. To that end, it is necessary to analyze which institutional spaces were respectively filled by the historical and by the sociological discipline within the framework of the republican higher education. Finally, we will reflect on the lack of symmetry that characterized the relationship between both disciplines, to conclude that such disparity may be the cause of the semi-failure of the Durkheimian attack against the historians.

Tim Robinson’s Stones of Aran diptych is an extraordinary piece of place-based writing. It takes as its subject the Irish island of Árainn, and attempts what the cultural geographer John Wylie calls “the total description of landscape.” Its central motif is the ‘good step,’ a term Robinson uses to explore the relationship between humanity and the world. However, despite the work’s gradual recognition as one of the stand-out achievements of twentieth-century Anglophone landscape writing, there is a lack of consensus about the exact nature of that achievement. Robert Macfarlane describes it as “an exceptional investigation of the difficulties and rewards of dwelling.” Wylie, by contrast, feels that “A clearer disavowal of dwelling, of a correspondence of land and life, is hard to imagine.” This essay suggests that these polarised views have arisen, in part, because of the prior expectations readers have brought to the text in terms of broadly Romantic traditions of landscape writing, resulting in a failure to engage with its more innovative aspects. These innovations include its polyphonic stylistic quality, which incorporates, amidst detailed excavations of the island’s natural and social histories, elements of parody and metatextual commentary, as well as a performative aspect, whereby, cumulatively, we see Robinson attempting to take the ‘good step,’ and witness both the psychic disorientations and the epiphanies involved in this quest. These aspects bring to rural landscape writing a sensibility more often associated with urban place-based writing and suggest a psychogeographic dimension to the work. This essay argues that Stones of Aran represents a hybrid form that might be termed ‘psycho-archipelagraphy’. It enables the expression of a provisional, dynamic sense of dwelling, a ‘good step’ that, rather than either connoting a consistent correspondence between land and life or disproving the possibility of such a correspondence, effectively straddles the contradictions and disorientations involved in being-in-the-world.  Resumen                   El díptico Stones of Aran de Tim Robinson es una pieza extraordinaria de escritura basada en el lugar. Tiene como tema la isla irlandesa de Árainn, y es un intento de lo que el geógrafo cultural John Wylie llama “la descripción total del paisaje.” Su tema principal es el ‘buen paso,’ un término que Robinson usa para explorar la relación entre la humanidad y el mundo. Sin embargo, a pesar del reconocimiento gradual de la obra como uno de los logros destacados de la escritura anglófona del paisaje en el siglo XX, existe una falta de consenso sobre la naturaleza exacta de este logro. Robert Macfarlane lo describe como “una investigación excepcional de las dificultades y las recompensas de las moradas.” Wylie, por el contrario, siente que “Una negación más clara de las moradas, de la correspondencia entre vida y tierra, es difícil de imaginar.” Este ensayo sugiere que estas opiniones polarizadas han surgido, en parte, debido a las expectaciones previas que los lectores han trasladado al texto en términos de tradiciones de escritura del paisaje ampliamente románticas, resultando en un fracaso a la hora de involucrarse con sus aspectos más innovadores. Estas innovaciones incluyen su cualidad estilística polifónica, que incorpora, entre las excavaciones detalladas de las historias naturales y sociales de la isla, elementos de parodia y comentario metatextual, así como un aspecto performativo, a través del cual, de forma acumulativa, vemos a Robinson tratando de dar el ‘buen paso,’ y siendo testigo tanto de las desorientaciones psíquicas como de las epifanías implicadas en esta búsqueda. Estos aspectos aportan a la escritura del paisaje rural una sensibilidad más a menudo asociada con la escritura basada en lugares urbanos y sugieren una dimensión psicogeográfica de la obra. Este ensayo sostiene que Stones of Aran representa una forma híbrida que puede denominarse ‘psico-archipielagografía’. Permite la expresión de un sentido de morar provisional y dinámico, un ‘buen paso’ que, más que connotar una correspondencia consistente entre tierra y vida o refutar la posibilidad de tal correspondencia, abarca de forma efectiva las contradicciones y desorientaciones involucradas en el ser/estar-en-el-mundo.
