Este artículo presenta una nueva lectura del texto autobiográfico de Luis Antonio de Villena, Mi colegio (2006). Propone revisar esta obra siguiendo las teorías de los afectos para destacar un contenido político subversivo que va más allá de la lectura memorialista. Además de la reivindicación de una víctima, defiende que el texto promueve una respuesta activa por parte de los lectores en contra de una visión patriarcal en la política y la sociedad españolas del momento.   This article approaches the auto-fictional piece Mi colegio (2006) by Luis Antonio de Villena under the precepts of the politics of affection developed by Brian Massumi.  Following the author’s revisit to his years as a high schooler at El Colegio del Pilar in Madrid in the sixties of the 20th century, Villena vindicates the need to destroy an idea of masculinity that forged in the Francoism of the economic stabilization and that has persisted until the 21st. Following Sianne Ngai’s ideas on Ugly Feelings I demonstrate that Villena’s project is an active one that demands a political commitment by the reader.

This review aims to provide bibliographic information about the historical stages through which the concept of disability has gone through. Based on the investigations of the three most characteristic models, which throughout history have helped society as a frame of reference for the treatment of disability: the tragedy/charity model, characteristic of antiquity and the medieval era; the medical or rehabilitation model, typical of the first half of the 20th century; and the social model, which arises from the sixties of the last century and is currently trying to keep. This evolution has been presented as a consequence of the development that humanity has had, both in its ideas of perceiving people with disabilities, and in the interventions that have been substantially modified. Playing an important role traditions and beliefs, as well as the advancement of science in its different expressions.

Numerous writings on intellectuals as learned or professional middle class have been published since the sixties for the obvious reason that this social group played a central role in the struggle for independence from which they emerged as the new leaders or ralers of new nations. Furthermore, being protagonist of change the intelligentsia showed their pre-eminence in giving their society a modern shape. Those studies show clearly the striking similarities of the characteristics of the intelligentsia from various developing countries. Their emergence was closely related to the expansion of western education, their marginal socio-historical location created the propensity to protagonize modernization, their oppositional role was inherent in their being a counter-elite in the colonial power structure. More similarities or parallel development can be brought up in our comparative study between India and Indonesia by asking the following questions: (1) Within the frame-work of the colonial setting what kind of factors were at work in creating the intelligentsia; (2) To what extend did endogenous factors impede the mobility and dynamics of the intelligentsia; (3) Did the intelligentsia's social origin put constraints on their capacity to accommodate themselves to new situations; (4) In fulfilling their function as intellectuals did they succeed in playing their leadership role in the nationalist movement; (5) Which structural conduciveness was necessary in order to provide a leverage to antagonize the establishment; etc. What kind of political commitment one came across among the intelligentsia? Were new ideologies quite instrumental in endorsing the intelligentsia's political role? Did they succeed in realizing political modernization?

The life and work of Gabriela Mistral, the first Latin American writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1945, is examined as an example of how difficult it was for women to win recognition as intellectuals in 20th-century Latin America. Despite an international reputation for erudition and political commitment, Mistral has traditionally been represented in stereotypically gendered terms as the ‘Mother’ and ‘Schoolteacher’ of the Americas, and it has been repeatedly claimed that she was both apolitical and anti-intellectual. This article contests such claims, arguing that she was not only committed to fulfilling the role of an intellectual, but that she also elaborated a critique of the dominant male Latin American view of intellectuality, probing the boundaries of both rationality and nationality as constructed by male Euro-Americans. In so doing, she addressed many of the crucial issues that still confront intellectuals today in Latin America and elsewhere.

Land Art is a principle in contemporary art that developed in the sixties and seventies of the 20th century, as a reaction to commercialization in art. The art of Land Art abandoned museums and galleries and develops monumental projects in free space and landscapes, which in an artistic way are changing and adapting without having any negative impact on the environment. Knowing and evaluating contemporary art in practice is as important as observing and evaluating traditional art works, which is also based on the development of subtle perception of art. For this reason, this case study examines the possibility of implementing contemporary art in this case Land Arta in pedagogical work with children in Kindergarten. Land Art is, in its essence, quite suitable as an incentive for creative work for interaction with nature, the use of natural materials that are close to children, has a good effect on the psyche of the child and contains an educational ecological component. The results showed that the children who participated in this research were creatively responsive and created interesting artworks inspired by land art.

Television represented the transformative technology in the 20th century, and it has also served as a major social and cultural force for modernization after World War II, on both sides of the Iron Curtain. In socialist countries television was closely connected with future-oriented ideology, and aimed to provide the democratization of knowledge, promotion of socialist values and development of socialist citizenry. The beginning of TV broadcast in socialist Yugoslavia in 1958 gave way to the gradual development of TV culture during the sixties and seventies, the overall impact of which on the subjectivities and everyday lives of the viewers was undeniable. The aim of this paper is to briefly outline the context in which television culture in socialist Yugoslavia emerged and achieved momentum, pinpointing two periods: the penetration of TV into small places and villages during the sixties and the socio-cultural influence and ramifications of the broadcast of "Peyton Place" in the early seventies.

The research subject is the scope of symphonic works of an outstanding Russian composer of the late 20th century Boris Ivanovich Tishchenko (1939 - 2010). The article continues a brief analysis of all 17 symphonies of the composer, and considers his works of the 1980s - the 2000s: French Symphony, Pushkin Symphony, Dante Symphonies, and Symphonies No 7, 8, 9.  The author considers in detail such aspects of the topic as Tishchenko’s innovatory role in the renewal of Russian symphonism of the second half of the 20th century, the interrelation between and poetry in his large orchestra compositions, the significant impact of literary concepts on the development of his symphonism. Special attention is given to Tishchenko succeeding to the great Russian symphonic tradition. The main idea of the article is that Tishchenko is one of the few in his generation who remained committed to the genre of a large “pure” symphony and succeeded to his genius teacher D. Shostakovich. A special author’s contribution to the development of the topic is a detailed consideration of all symphonic works by Tischenko. Such a research has never been held in the history of Russian music before. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the fact that the author proves a close connection between Tishchenko’s symphonism with his time and the controversial cultural and social processes suffered by the composers of the sixties.

The article examines the Karachai-Balkarian literature of the "Thaw" era. The main trends in the poetry of the sixties poets are outlined by the example of M. Mokaev’s oeuvre. This work is the first attempt to systematically consider the heritage of M.Kh. Mokaev in its thematic and genre diversity; poetics is studied in the context of historical processes characteristic of the 20th century. It is obvious that without considering the poetry of key personalities it is impossible to achieve objective and significant results in solving the identified problem. In this regard, this study provides an opportunity to fully integrate M. Mokaev’s legacy into scientific circulation. The study reveals the most important aspects in the development of artistic consciousness of the Karachai-Balkarian authors of the "Thaw" era, identifies the main trends, and defines the specificity of the relationship between continuity and innovation. The work used an integrated approach, combining elements of comparative-typological, contrastive-typological, systemic-holistic and historical-literary analysis.

AbstractA brief overview is given of nematode taxonomy since its beginnings in the second half of the 19th century. Most of the work concerned α-taxonomy, but in the thirties and subsequently from the sixties several classifications have been proposed. Since the eighties phylogenetic systematics was introduced as the underlying theory. Due to the pioneering work of several famous nematode taxonomists in the first half of the 20th century an increased interest for the discipline arose. Very unfortunately, this interest decreased in more recent times to an alarming extent. The difficulty to correctly identify and to describe the rapidly increasing numbers of taxa has discouraged many young scientists and diverted them toward more appealing disciplines. Taxonomy provides nevertheless the basic knowledge for studies on biodiversity as well as for analyses of ecological and phylogenetic relationships. Molecular techniques have made systematics again exciting; when combined with the more traditional morphological approach, they will lead to new insights. Hopefully, these will arouse the interest of young scientists. Even then the future of nematode taxonomy will depend on the funding opportunities provided by national and international authorities. La systématique des nématodes est brièvement revue depuis ses origines dans la seconde moitié du 19ème siècle. La plupart des travaux sont relatifs l’ α-taxinomie, mais dans les années trente et ensuite dans les années soixante, plusieurs classifications ont été proposées. Depuis les années 80, la systématique phylogénétique a été introduite comme la théorie sous-jacente. Grâce au travail de pionnier de plusieurs taxinomistes célèbres dans la première moitié du 20ème siècle, un intérêt accru est apparu pour la discipline. Très malheureusement, cet intérêt a décru récemment jusqu’à un niveau alarmant. La difficulté d’identifier correctement et de décrire un nombre de taxons augmentant rapidement a découragé de nombreux jeunes scientifiques et les a poussé vers des disciplines plus attirantes. La taxinomie cependant apporte la connaissance de base tant pour des études de biodiversité que pour des études de relations écologiques et phylogénétiques. Les techniques moléculaires ont rendu la systématique à nouveau attractive; lorsqu’elles seront combinées avec l’approche morphologique plus traditionnelle, elles conduiront à de nouveaux développements. Heureusement, elles vont réveiller l’intérêt des jeunes chercheurs. Malgré cela, le futur de la taxinomie des nématodes dépendra des opportunités de financement par les autorités nationales et internationales.

The article is devoted to understanding the alternative discourse of the second half of the 20thcentury in the context of the epistolary of such Ukrainian dissidents as I. Svitlychnyi, V. Chornovil, V. Stus, Z. Krasivskyi and Ya. Lesiv. The paper determines its peculiar features and specifics in the formation of literary and artistic dissidenceof the members of the Resistance Movement of the 60sin Ukraine,which has arisen due to the efforts of the creative intellectuals that will later be called the men of the sixties.A search for a new literary and artistic form of the dissidents’ epistolary text that is different from socialist realismhas been carried out.The article studies the significance of the epistolary of the men of the sixties for the creation of the alternative discourse, as well as proves the defining ideological dissidents’ principles, in particular the “lesson of scientific honesty” from O. Biletskyi, which has been learned for the rest of his life and disseminated among his like-minded people by I. Svitlychnyi.

In the complex political scene surrounding the death of Francisco Franco, Spanish female architects were crossing borders to try and understand what was happening abroad. This article provides unpublished data on the various experiences of female graduates in Spain when they shared their enthusiasm, concerns and energy with colleagues from other countries at international conferences that took place before the arrival of democracy. For almost four decades, between 1939 and 1975, Spanish female architects were limited by the patriarchal system’s own barriers and by the political barriers imposed by Franco’s regime. This paper aims to organise and articulate women’s memories, proving the implicit acceptance of patriarchal ideas and models at the start of the 20th century, the timidity of the congress resolutions in the sixties and the later awakening provided by UIFA (Union Internationale des Femmes Architectes) congresses. Finally, it is worth examining the metamorphosis that occurred in free western societies in the 20th century, with respect to the role played by women as a user and as a professional, through the attentive gaze of women architects from a nondemocratic country.
