El fenómeno de los cultos egipcios en la religión y en la sociedad romana se plasmó más allá de la región del Nilo, y la zona del Magreb africano fue uno de los territorios donde la presencia de estas devociones tuvo más incisión e influencia. Las relaciones comerciales de las provincias romanas en África y sobre todo de sus ciudades costeras extendieron muchos de estos cultos de raíz popular por regiones con una fuerte cultura propia anterior, como era la zona de Cartago. Y es gracias a la arqueología que nos podemos acercar a este panorama religioso, sobre todo a través de las expediciones académicas y científicas decimonónicas llevadas a cabo muchas veces por instituciones y arqueólogos de Francia, país que ejercía su poder colonial en Túnez. El estudio de las piezas que recuperaron, muchas de ellas albergadas actualmente en museos norteafricanos y franceses, permite reconstruir la evolución de este contexto social y religioso en el caso del dios Serapis y de su sede de culto en Cartago.Egyptian cults in the Roman religion and society took shape beyond de Nile region, and the area of the African Magreb was one of the territories where the Egyptian devotions had more influence. The commercial relations of the Roman provinces in Africa and especially of its coastal cities extended many of these cults of popular roots by regions with a strong previous culture, as in the area of Carthage. It is possible to approach to this religious panorama thanks to Archaeology, particularly trough the nineteenth century academic and scientific expeditions carried out by French institutions and archeologist; at the time, France exercised the colonial control over Tunisia.  The study of the archaeological pieces they recovered, many of them housed in Noth-African and French museums, allows the reconstruction of the evolution of this social and religious context in the case of the god Serapis and the Serapeum of Carthage.

In the 1880s and ‘90s, Waco, Texas, served as a trading center for the cotton districts of central Texas whose farmers gave rise to the Farmers’ Alliance and turned the region into a Populist hotbed. Waco was also known as the “City of Churches,” as it was the site of Baylor University and other efforts of evangelical churches to build up their institutions. What is less well known is that Waco and its rural environs were also hotbeds of religious heterodoxy. Waco's Iconoclast magazine became a lightning rod of conflict between the Baptists and their skeptical and liberal critics, a conflict that played out to a murderous conclusion. Historians have taken due note of the evangelical environment in which the Populist movement emerged in late nineteenth-century rural America. But in the process the notion of evangelical belief has been too often rendered static and total. The Baptist-Iconoclast conflict in Waco provides an entry point for a better understanding of the dynamic and conflicted nature of the religious context, and the influence of liberal and heterodox ideas within the communities that sustained the Populist cause.

Resumo: A geografia é uma disciplina que traz consigo uma longa tradição gráfica, que é parte de seu próprio nome (algumas interpretações etimológicas prevalecem o significado de gráfico ou desenho do sufixo graphia sobre o de descrição textual).No entanto, nos últimos dois séculos, a Geografia se consolidou como uma disciplina eminentemente literária e isso acabou impactando na produção e uso de imagens na geografia escolar. Em oposição a isso, no final do século XIX, foi amplamente aceito que o ato de desenhar (especialmente a cópia e o mapeamento) era um exercício útil para pensar, interpretar e internalizar conteúdos geográficos.Neste artigo, analisamos como as habilidades gráficas promovidas na geografia escolar foram variadas com base em experiências, materiais e atividades desenvolvidos nas instituições escolares (considerando que é lá e quando as habilidades expressivas e comunicacionais são aprendidas) entre o final do século XIX e meados do século XX. Resumen: La geografía es una disciplina que carga con una larga tradición gráfica, que forma parte incluso de su propio nombre (algunas interpretaciones etimológicas hacen prevalecer el sentido de gráfico o dibujo del sufijo graphia sobre la de descripción textual).Sin embargo, en los últimos dos siglos, la Geografía se ha ido consolidando como en una disciplina eminentemente literaria y ello ha terminado impactando sobre la producción y el uso de imágenes en la geografía escolar.

El presente trabajo examina el problema de los cambios conceptuales proponiendo una teoría integradora que contemple los diferentes aspectos del mismo. Como resultado de este análisis se sugiere reforzar la importancia de las “creencias” y sobre todo de las emociones a la hora de dotar de significado así como en la valoración de los conceptos. Para ilustrar esta teoría, lo largo del trabajo se ofrece diferentes ejemplos referidos a los inicios del liberalismo español.Palabras clavecambio conceptual, traducción, emociones, España, siglo XIX.AbstractThis paper examines the problem of conceptual change by proposing a unifying theory capable of including the different aspects involved in such changes. The main conclusion of this analysis is the need to stress the importance of “beliefs”, and especially of emotions, in the attribution and evaluation of the meaning of concepts. Various examples referring to the origins of Spanish Liberalism are offered to illustrate the suggested theory.Key wordsconceptual change, translation, emotions, Spain, nineteenth century.

Abstract This paper examines four women who immigrated to Canada within diasporas originating in disparate times and places: an Amish woman escaping persecution in Bavaria in the early nineteenth century; a woman displaced from Ukraine during the Second World War; a political exile from Central America in the 1980s; and a contemporary transnational migrant with homes in Canada and Mexico. While they all identify with a particular ethno-religious community, the Mennonites, their commonalities rest more on similar experiences of uprooting and settlement, as well as their familial roles. In the case of each story, the diasporic experience de-stabilized gender identities and revealed the mutability of ethno-religious markers. The paper suggests that frameworks of diaspora and transnational movement offer a better way to understand the gendered experiences of these women, rather than traditional ideological and progressive concepts of migration.

Resumen:El presente artículo tiene como objetivo pensar la vida y obra de Flora Tristán como una precursora del feminismo transnacional. En su vida y obra, cuestiones que por cierto hay que recalcar que no son inescindibles, se habilita una perspectiva dialógica entre mujeres, tanto de diferentes clases como así también de diversas naciones. Por su origen mixto, a saber, franco-peruana, es portadora de un cruce de mundos que le posibilita a principios del siglo XIX una visión crítica del colonialismo y la moderni- dad, pero más crítica aun en su análisis del capitalismo incipiente. En este entramado complejo y con una vida de explotación tanto en términos de clase como de género, es que Flora logra articular la demanda de reconocimiento de las mujeres, en términos jurídicos, sociales, políticos, económicos y sobre todo identitarios, para confluir luego en una demanda de reconocimiento de todos/as los/as oprimidos/as.Palabras clave: Flora Tristán - feminismo - reconocimiento - emancipaciónAbstract:The present article aims to think about the life and work of Flora Tristán as a precursor of transnational feminism. In her life and work, not indes- cribable, a dialogical perspective is enabled among women from different classes and different nations. Due to her mixed origin, namely French and Peruvian, she carries a crossroads of worlds allowing her, at the beginning of the Nineteenth Century, to have a critical view of colonialism and modernity, but even more critical in her analysis of incipient capitalism. In this complex framework and with a life of exploitation both in terms of class and gender, Flora is able to articulate the demand for recognition of Women, in legal, social, political and economic terms and, above all, in identity. A demand for recognizing all oppressed people.Keywords: Flora Tristán - feminism - recognition – emancipationResumo:O presente artigo tem como objetivo pensar a vida e obra de Flora Tristán como uma precursora do feminismo transnacional.

The city where trouble began in 1891, Valparaíso, Chile, was a memorable place. Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna, the nineteenth-century Chilean historian and political leader, has rightly written that the history of Valparaíso has been the history of the sea. An old port, once a more important city than it is now, built around and especially on top of steep hills reached by rickety lifts, Valparaíso still has a grace and character unlike that of most other ports—its landscape resembles an untamed San Francisco. At one time it was a thriving commercial center and hub of naval activity, important not only for the direction of Chilean history but for that of much of South America as well. In the nineteenth century, with Chilean independence and the later decay of the Peruvian port of Callao, Valparaíso rapidly became the maritime capital of the Pacific and an important focus of naval enterprises for continental defense. Then, after decades of prosperity, its importance declined and the fortunes of other coastal cities arose.

Abstract  My Ph.D.- dissertation analyzes the work of six Dutch missionaries on Java in the period of 1850 until 1920. Besides analyzing their proselytizing strategies, I reserched on the missionaries’ reflections on their work and the reformed strategies that followed those reflections and their views on the religious context they worked in as well as how they perceived the process of admission of new religions. My focus is not only on the arrival and acceptance of Christianity, but also the Islamization process of Java, since the missionaries tried to elucidate that procesin order to benefit from it. As part of my dissertation, this paper will focus on the formation of various Muslim and Christian currents in the second half of the nineteenth century in order to elucidate the process of religious adaptation on Java.

Los grandes almacenes clásicos del siglo XIX se inspiran en parte en las colmenas. La actividad humana en su interior se compara con la de las abejas. Su espacio es clasificador, compartimentado en alveolos. Pero sobre todo, lo que acerca los primeros grandes almacenes a la idea de la colmena es que se trata de una arquitectura del trabajo. Esto no resulta evidente, ya que en estos edificios la visión del trabajo es ocultada bajo la apariencia de lo festivo, necesaria para la actividad comercial. Su desafío consiste en compatibilizar  consumo y trabajo en un mismo lugar. Esta dualidad se resuelve generando escenarios teatrales donde se representa la función de la venta, detrás de los cuales se esconden bastidores técnicos destinados a intenso trabajo. Esta trastienda tiene una nobleza arquitectónica en los orígenes que decrece conforme el tipo arquitectónico evoluciona. Abstract Classics department stores of the nineteenth century are inspired by ruffles. Inside those buildings, human activity seems the bees. Furthermore, the space is classified and compartmentalized into alveoli. But more importantly, the buildings department stores generate an architecture for the work. This is not very clear, since in these buildings vision of the work is hidden under the guise of the festive. Activity in retail stores need a festive atmosphere. Reconcile consumption andwork in one place is a challenge of this architecture. This duality is solved generating theatrical scenarios where the sales function is represented. Secondary spaces for the work hide behind these scenarios. In the beginning, this back spacehad architectural nobility, but decreases as the architectural type evolves.
