Why Can’t Stakeholder Theory Save the Planet and What Can Corporate Law Do Instead?

In the midst of a multidimensional crisis with economic, social and environmental aspects, corporations have become aware that the reality of our day necessitates that they must play a dual role both for their businesses and for the general public. A primary reason for the change in this perception is the alarming state of the environment and especially the potentially irreversible effects of the climate crisis. As a living and evolving entity within society, companies now take on the public duty to address the mounting concerns about the environment and adopt environmentally sustainable corporate strategies. While doing this, many of them refer to the stakeholder theory. Almost forty years ago, the stakeholder theory was introduced by Freeman as a management concept. Including environmental sustainability within the scope of the stakeholder theory is, therefore, a fairly new approach and raises the following question: Is the stakeholder theory the best tool to integrate environmental sustainability into corporate activity? This article will aim to demonstrate why the answer to this question should be ‘no’. Adding to this, it will then discuss how legal reform in the area of corporate law focusing on the key concepts of corporate interest and directors’ duties should be done instead.

Interdisciplinary Methodological Approaches to Desk-Based Socio-legal Human Rights Research

As legal study adopts more interdisciplinary approaches and assimilates with other disciplines such as sociology, politics and business, there is a growing need to pay greater attention to the research methods and methodologies from across the academic spectrum. Doing so creates opportunities to borrow and employ methodological techniques and insights from disciplines across the spectrum of the social sciences. In this work I examine how socio-legal methodologies may be informed by approaches within the wider social sciences and explore how borrowed elements such as research ethics, reflexivity, and positionality, can be understood and utilised within interdisciplinary, desk-based, socio-legal research. I do so using the example of a project examining the human rights abuses of pharmaceutical companies. The project sits at the intersection of the fields of human rights (the right to health), socio-legal studies and ‘business and human rights’ research. It thus serves as a useful example of how those borrowed elements from the wider social sciences can be conceived of and utilised within interdisciplinary, desk-based, socio-legal research. This work may serve as an example to those looking to incorporate a more interdisciplinary approach towards the study of law using methodological techniques found across the social sciences.

Authors: Oncins Estella
Published: January 2023

El creixent volum de continguts audiovisuals i la necessitat de fer-los accessibles a una audiència cada vegada més global, juntament amb el marc legislatiu europeu en matèria d’accessibilitat, han generat l’augment de la demanda de continguts accessibles. En aquest sentit, la traducció automàtica és una de les tecnologies que s’integra cada vegada més en l’àmbit de la traducció audiovisual (TAV): “Audio-visual content is thus becoming just the latest in a long line of commercial products whose markets can be expanded through machine translation” (Kenny 2022:33). Tot i els beneficis i oportunitats que indubtablement ofereix aquesta tecnologia en la TAV, es plantegen dubtes, problemàtiques i reptes al seu voltant com ara la qualitat de les traduccions i les qüestions ètiques a tenir en compte respecte a l'opacitat en l’ús, propietat, permís i distribució de les dades (Moorkens 2019). El següent article pretén presentar una retrospectiva de l’ús de les tecnologies en les diverses modalitats de la TAV i l’accessibilitat als mitjans, posant èmfasi en l’ús de la traducció automàtica i en els aspectes relacionats amb la interacció persona-ordinador.

Authors: Rica Peromingo Juan Pedro
Published: January 2023

En la Directiva europea 2019/882 del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo de 17 de abril de 2019 sobre los requisitos de accesibilidad de los productos y servicios se especifica que «la demanda de productos y servicios accesibles es alta y se prevé que el número de personas con discapacidad crecerá de manera importante. Un entorno en el que los productos y servicios son más accesibles permite que la sociedad sea más inclusiva y facilita la vida autónoma de las personas con discapacidad.» Desde el ámbito de la universidad y de cualquier contexto educativo en el que la accesibilidad sea una materia transversal urgimos a que se promueva la enseñanza de tecnologías y herramientas en traducción audiovisual (TAV) que permitan que los materiales audiovisuales sean accesibles para aquellos colectivos con discapacidad visual y auditiva que quieran consumir productos audiovisuales en las mismas condiciones que la población oyente y auditiva. En este artículo se analizan los recursos tecnológicos y las herramientas informáticas que un gran número de profesionales utiliza en su labor profesional, de docentes que imparten modalidades de traducción audiovisual relacionadas con la accesibilidad (subtitulado para sordos y audiodescripción para ciegos) e investigadores que trabajan con el uso de esas tecnologías y herramientas. Se aportan, asimismo, puntos de vistas de estos profesionales de la TAV sobre programas de software disponibles en el mercado para conseguir materiales audiovisuales más accesibles en una sociedad inclusiva como debería ser la nuestra.

Published: January 2023

La Chacra de Pueyrredón, conjunto edilicio donde funciona el Museo Histórico Municipal "Brig. Gral. Juan M. de Pueyrredón" (San Isidro, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina), se constituyó a lo largo del siglo XX en uno de los hitos patrimoniales del pasado republicano. En la década de 1940 fue declarado Monumento Histórico Nacional y atravesó una intensiva restauración que modificó sustancialmente su arquitectura, con el objetivo de adaptarla al supuesto aspecto y distribución espacial que había tenido en su “época heroica”, es decir, durante las primeras décadas del siglo XIX. Durante esa intervención se demolieron sectores completos, otros fueron íntegramente reconstruidos, borrando etapas y alterando por completo su autenticidad. En el presente trabajo se desarrolló por primera vez una aproximación al sitio desde la arqueología histórica para indagar sobre su verdadera materialidad y un acercamiento a la historia del conjunto como unidad productiva entre los siglos XVIII y XIX. En esta etapa se desarrollaron excavaciones en la “Casa de Chacareros”, edificio subsidiario de la casa principal y ligado a la vivienda de la población de servicio esclavizada y libre durante el siglo XIX. Se analizan las diversas etapas constructivas y de uso de dicha unidad constructiva.

Authors: Silva Mônica Ferreira da , Barbosa Ricardo Victor Rodrigues
Published: January 2023

Informações acerca do regime de vento à superfície é relevante para diversos setores sociais e ambientais. Este artigo objetiva contribuir para a caracterização do regime de ventos em multiescala (anual, mensal e horária) em três regiões geográficas alagoanas, com características climáticas distintas, a partir de dados meteorológicos recentes registrados em superfície por estações automáticas do Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (INMET), tomando como estudos de caso Maceió, Arapiraca e Pão de Açúcar, representativos das regiões leste, centro e oeste do Estado, respectivamente. O software WRPLOT v.8.0.2 foi usado para geração de rosas de vento e histogramas. Em Maceió, observou-se padrão bem definido de predominância de vento de E (outubro-abril) e SE (maio a agosto - quadra chuvosa), associados aos alísios sobrepostos à influência sinótica da Alta Subtropical do Atlântico Sul (ASAS). A mesma predominância e sazonalidade foi observada em Arapiraca. Em Pão de Açúcar, observou-se regime peculiar com predominância absoluta anual da direção SE, indicando forte influência da topografia, com a canalização da brisa marítima pelo cânion do rio São Francisco (regime Aracati). Observou-se, nos três sítios, tendência de aumento na velocidade média mensal ao aproxima-se o verão, assim como tendência de redução aproximando-se o inverno. Essa dinâmica é menos acentuada em Maceió, onde a média mensal é mais constante. Em Arapiraca, essa dinâmica apresenta-se mais acentuada, com médias mensais maiores entre novembro a março, e médias menores especialmente no inverno. Em Pão de Açúcar, essa dinâmica apresenta-se bastante acentuada, com os meses de junho e julho registrando médias inferiores a 1 m.s-1.
Does economic stress matter for the rising divorce rate in China? A provincial perspective
Authors: Ul-Haq Jabbar , Mushtaq Shahzad , Visas Hubert , Hye Qazi Muhammad Adnan
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Marriage is an infinite bond between two partners that can be caused to fail by several factors. Economic stress leads to psychological stress and in some cases, marriage dissolution. The current study investigates the impact of economic stress (measured by the unemployment rate and inflation rate) on divorce rates using Chinese province-level panel data from 2010 to 2019.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The panel fixed effects (FE) model, panel random effects (RE) model, and fixed effects- Driscoll and Kraay standard errors (DKSE) model were used for empirical analysis.

Findings: The research findings support the hypothesized economic stress theory of divorce by Reuben Hill. According to the empirical findings, economic stress indicators such as unemployment and inflation have a positive and significant impact on the divorce rate in China and its regions. Furthermore, urbanization, education and mobile phone variables have a positive relationship with divorce rates except for children’s dependency.

Contribution to literature: Taking into account both parties' perspectives, this study contributes to the existing literature by looking at economic stress in the context of divorce. We are particularly interested in how economic stress affected the marriage relationship's quality. We investigated the relationship between the unemployment rate, inflation rate and divorce rate in China's 31 provinces for the period 2010-2019. The entire sample is then separated into three sub-samples: Eastern China, Central China and Western China.
Preparation and performance in IR and UV of transparent inorganic polysiloxane coating with dispersed TiO2 on glass substrates
Authors: Saudi S.A. , Mohd A.F.
Published: January 2023

The aim of the presented work was to develop an economical, transparent coating with dispersed TiO2 dispersion and inorganic polysiloxane resin for glass windows application and to study its effectiveness in filtering IR and UV radiations.

Two oligomeric silanes were prepared in different molar ratios to produce inorganic polysiloxane resin. They were tested for their viscosity to reflect the completion of the reaction and form an amide linkage. FTIR was done to support the viscosity result by proving the presence of amide linkages. 10%, 20%, and 30% of compounded TiO2 were successfully dispersed in 0.3% sodium sulfosalicylate (dehydrated ethanol). Each TiO2 concentration was characterized for size distribution and polydispersity index (PDI). Additives solutions of 2-hydroxybenzophenone (HBP) and boron trifluoride (BF3) were also soluted in the same solvent. Glass substrates were coated with the formulations and tested for curing and hardness properties. Windows Energy Profiler (WEP) was used to study the UV, IR, and daylight transmission of the coated glasses.

Each inorganic polysiloxane resin showed various viscosity values before reaching a constant state which designates complete formations of amide linkages. Polysiloxane resin with a viscosity value of 30.5 mPa/s was the most ideal to act as a binder. FTIR characterization proved the formation of amide linkages. The particle size distribution of TiO2 recorded the size of 87 nm after dispersion with correlating value of 1 PDI. The fastest drying time of 3 hours was recorded. The pencil hardness test quoted 6H pencil as the hardest pencil grade. WEP analysis of UV, IR, and daylight transmission gives satisfactory results of 0%, 7%, and 61%, respectively.

Laboratory analysis for viscosity tests often being held off. The test requires the samples to be transferred in a cylinder with an open-air spindle rotation. Samples react with the surrounding environment. Thus, polymerization takes place rapidly, resulting in hardened samples inside the cylinder. The different measure was taken by wrapping the testing area with aluminium foil. This research was conducted under equatorial climate.

The obtained test results may contribute to the conclusion of transparent TiO2 nano-particles coating on glass substrates for windows application. This can reduce the electricity usage in buildings for artificial cooling to provide indoor thermal comfort. Smart coating formulations have a noticeable effect on filtering harmful solar radiation.

This study presents the economical and undemanding ways to develop transparent smart coating formulation with superior performance against solar radiation. It is expected to have a bright potential in the architectural industry.

The ponies have immense relevance for logistic support for civil population and troops in hilly and high altitude areas. There is no information on specific biomarkers of endurance performance under high altitude stress condition, which could be supportive in the identification of elite ponies for deployment at high altitude. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the physiological responses, hematological, biochemical, metabolic, and antioxidant biomarker during endurance exercise in ponies at high altitude. For this study, total 5 mares were put on endurance exercise at 4–6 m/sec speed for 30 min on 30 m track situated at 3,500 m altitude for 28 days period. The result showed a significant change in physiological responses, and some hematological, biochemical, metabolic and antioxidant parameters viz. glutathione peroxidase, creatinine kinase-MB, lactic acid, total protein, glucose, hexokinase, cortisol, and interleukin-6 level at different phase of endurance exercise. In conclusion, this study showed the alteration in physiological responses and some hematological and physio-biochemical metabolic parameters during the endurance exercise. Hence, these parameters could be considered as biomarkers for evaluation of endurance performance in ponies at high altitude before putting them under load carrying deployment.

Published: January 2023

Indonesia is a maritime country with a vast ocean area. Indonesia has high potential to produce salt because it has a lot of saltwater resources. When sea salt is harvested, seawater evaporates from a concentration of 3.5°Be to 29°Be. Evaporation can be affected by several factors, such as air temperature, wind speed, water vapor pressure, humidity, radiation, geographical location, time interval, and season. Many modifications have been made to increase the evaporation rate in salt production. One of them is the WAIV (Wind-Aided Intensified eVaporation) method. WAIV evaporation systems utilize sunlight and wind to accelerate the evaporation rate. The modeling in this study was adjusted to the environmental conditions in the case study for which it was necessary to determine new parameter values for the existing models. The Penman, Priestley-Taylor, and Harbeck models were used. The Harbeck model has been studied in previous studies, which were used as a reference in the present study. This study first determined and then validated the parameter values obtained. A simulation of the evaporation rate was conducted in a different place, namely Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia using Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency (Indonesian: Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika / BMKG) data.

Published: January 2023

Background: In sport context learning a skill, and performing it flawlessly is of great importance. There is a unanimous consensus among sport scientists, coaches, and athletes, that along with physical, technical and tactical skills, psychological skills are also necessary for an optimal sport performance. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of mental toughness in motor learning and sport performance in wrestling. Methods: This study was semi-experimental and its population were physical education students of the University of Tehran in 2018. Using intensive sampling method, 28 student-athletes, who never had any past wrestling skill practices, were selected. Subsequently, using Mental Toughness-48 questionnaires, they were divided into two equal groups of high and low in mental toughness. After that, all participants were randomly assigned into two groups of equal size and 30 wrestling skills were taught to them twice a week for 3 months by two professional wrestling coaches. Their motor learning was assessed by three other professional coaches in the last week of training and one week after the last session. Motor learning score was obtained by calculating the mean scores of acquisition and retention stages. Then, two groups with high and low levels of mental toughness were compared regarding their motor learning scores. Tools used in this study included demographic consent form, wrestling skills test and The Mental Toughness Questionnaire-48 (MTQ 48). Results: The results suggested that mentally tough student-athletes demonstrated significantly higher motor learning scores compared with their counterparts who had lower levels of mental toughness (P ≤ 0/05). This advantage was persistent both in the acquisition and retention stages (P ≤ 0/05). Conclusions: It was concluded that mental toughness could be considered as a key factor in motor learning. Therefore, it is recommended to coaches and athletes to develop mental toughness in order to enhance motor learning and achieve successful performance.

Published: January 2023

Background: Infants’ admission to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) leads to the psychological vulnerability of their mothers. Providing education and implementing supportive interventions can improve the quality of parental care of premature infants and empower parents. The presence and participation of parents in the care of preterm infants may improve parents’ resilience. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of a virtual educational and supportive intervention on the mothers’ resilience with preterm infants admitted to NICUs in 2020. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 100 mothers with preterm infants admitted to Afzalipour Hospital in Kerman in 2020. The participants were selected by purposive and convenience sampling and were divided into intervention and control groups using a random number table. The educational and supportive training intervention program was implemented for 2 weeks in the intervention group. However, the control group only received routine care. The data were collected using a demographic information questionnaire and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 at a significance level of 0.05. Results: Resilience and all its dimensions showed significant improvements in the intervention group compared to their resilience before the intervention. The mean resilience scores in the intervention group were 57.62 ± 13.95 and 76.96 ± 08.07 before and after the intervention (P < 0.05). The mean resilience scores in the control group were 60.40 ± 14.41 and 62.70 ± 11.09 before and after the intervention (P > 0.05). Overall, the mean scores of resilience and its dimensions increased significantly in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Implementing a virtual educational and supportive intervention improved the resilience of mothers with preterm infants. Overall, this program can be used by nursing managers and nurses to provide supportive care for parents of premature infants to improve the quality of care in these wards. Further research can be done to examine the attitudes and experiences of health care workers in this field.

Published: January 2023

Even though the energy and utilities industry have trouble integrating new technologies for a long time, the benefits of quantum computing make it worth the trouble. In the past, it has been hard for the utilities industry to use new technology to drive strategic initiatives. But those who do see big improvements in how well they run their businesses. For example, utilities that put a lot of money into digital transformation have the chance to cut their operating costs by about 25%. Quantum computing is a new field of technology that is not as well developed as digital projects, but it is still something that modern renewable energy and utility companies should look into. Quantum computing will give utilities a lot more computing power, which will let them solve business problems that were too hard to try before.
Giovanni Battista de Rossi, archaeologiae christianae fundator, nel bicentenario della nascita
Authors: Ghilardi Massimiliano ,   Instituto Patristico Augustinianum
Published: January 2023

Since the end of the 16th century, when the perfectly preserved remains of an ancient early Christian underground cemetery were discovered accidentally along the Via Salaria in Rome, Christian antiquities were studied mainly for apologetic propaganda purposes, i.e. to defend the primacy of the Church of Rome, which was faltering under the blows of the Protestant reformers. Everything changed, however, around the middle of the 19th century, thanks to Giovanni Battista de Rossi, a famous archaeologist whose 200th birthday falls this year. This essay sets in the context of his biography the main coordinates of his training, his numerous and fundamental discoveries and his main publications, which brought him recognition in international cultural circles of the time as the “founder of Christian archaeology”, a science that was finally recognised as such, and no longer seen as just a learned pastime for amateur antiquarians.

Education is very important for the continuity of human life, therefore humans should study science along with the process of growth and development. Education brings many positive changes to life if humans are good at digging and processing them well. The more advanced the times, the education also influences both formal and non-formal education. In formal education, especially at the junior high school level, children's development can be influenced by the times, therefore the child's learning process at school must continue to be supported in accordance with the times. The application of Informatics subjects can affect children's knowledge of technology which is continuously developing, in this case of course the application of Informatics subjects is important in the implementation of the current Merdeka curriculum. The lack of knowledge of students in technology along with the advancement of the times has become a problem that must be considered in the world of education. Informatics is one of the lessons that is an important component, especially in the world of teenagers or junior high school students. The purpose of this study is to analyze the application of informatics subjects in the implementation of the Merdeka curriculum. The research design uses descriptive qualitative research which is directed at analyzing the application of informatics subjects in SMP (Penggerak Schools) which lead to the implementation of Merdeka curriculum. The research results obtained are the application of Informatics subjects which have been made compulsory subjects at the junior high school level. The application of the Informatics subject was again made a compulsory subject after the implementation of the new curriculum, namely the Merdeka curriculum. This is considered with the continuity of the material in the Informatics subject with the implementation of Merdeka curriculum.
Recuperación del léxico especializado del Diccionario Tecnológico Hispano Americano (1930). Diseño de un proyecto XML-TEI
Authors: Castro-Prieto María Rosa
Published: January 2023

Los diccionarios publicados antes de la llegada del mundo digital están condenados a caer en el olvido debido al soporte en papel que los alberga. Si a esta particularidad del soporte le añadimos el componente diacrónico, tenemos el cóctel perfecto para que prácticamente desaparezca la accesibilidad a esas obras. Consideramos que el estudio de los diccionarios elaborados y publicados en otras épocas proporciona datos valiosos para estudiar el léxico desde una perspectiva histórica. La propuesta que presentamos a continuación constituye el inicio de un proyecto más amplio que pretende recuperar un diccionario publicado en 1930 y que supuso el primer intento institucional de recopilar el léxico científico y técnico en la confluencia de los siglos XIX y XX, un periodo especialmente relevante para la historia de la lengua de especialidad en español. En las siguientes páginas proponemos el diseño de un proyecto que aspira a recuperar el contenido léxico de este diccionario mediante su codificación con el estándar XML-TEI, preservarlo y ponerlo a disposición del público para su consulta.
Dos de las diez partes de la oración de la Gramática de Nebrija: adverbio y preposición en el marco de la norma lingüística
Authors: Recio Doncel Ana
Published: January 2023

A lo largo de la trayectoria gramatical del español los sistemas adverbial y preposicional han experimentado innumerables cambios morfosintácticos, semánticos y funcionales que han dado como resultado el estado de lengua actual. Por ello merece especial atención el tratamiento que da Nebrija a ambas categorías, por ser su Gramática sobre la lengua castellana la primera de las lenguas romances. Establecer las nóminas adverbial y preposicional, así como su aparición en la propia obra conforman el objetivo principal de este trabajo de cara a indicar el seguimiento o no por parte de Nebrija de sus propios planteamientos teóricos y descriptivos. Sin embargo, no podemos olvidar que una gramática no constituye un texto discursivamente amplio donde podamos estudiar una gran cantidad de formas, por lo que, en ocasiones, recurriremos a bancos de datos externos para asegurar la pervivencia o no de las unidades que anota Nebrija.
Lenguas en contacto en los obrajes añileros novohispanos: anotaciones acerca de un muestrario de voces
Authors: Espejo Muriel M.ª Mar
Published: January 2023

Las dos obras más importantes que describen el procedimiento del añil en la centuria ilustrada proceden de un breve documento atribuido al franciscano Juan de Dios del Cid (1741) titulado El Puntero Apuntado (1741); y de otro volumen de mayor calidad científica: El Tratado del xiquilite de J. M. Mociño (1799), médico y botánico ilustrado que participó en la II Real Expedición Botánica. Nuestro estudio pretende profundizar en las consecuencias lingüísticas que tuvo el contacto intercultural. Para ello, hemos analizado los vocablos que se incorporan procedentes de otras lenguas; teniendo en cuenta, en relación con su origen, la delimitación entre la base próxima y la remota, lo cual nos permitirá descubrir las lenguas que han funcionado como canal intermediario. Del mismo modo, nos detendremos en conocer los cambios semánticos que nos proporciona la información procedente de los repertorios lexicográficos, así como de las bases de datos de corpus léxicos más relevantes hasta la fecha.
Who discovered the gluten and who discovered its production by lixiviation?
Authors: This vo Kientza Hervé
Published: January 2023

The discovery of the preparation of the complex material known today as “gluten” was wrongly described in many important texts in the history of food chemistry, either because the name of the authors was misspelled or because dates were wrong. Historical data show that gluten was discovered by Jacopo Bartolomeo Beccari, in Bologna (Italy) in 1728. However, the lixiviation process still used today to get gluten and the chemical characterization of this new material was performed by the physician Johannes Kesselmeyer in Strasbourg (France), in 1759. The discovery of gluten was considered as very important because both scientists thought that they had demonstrated that gluten was of “animal origin”, contrary to starch, which was thought to be of plant origin. Kesselmeyer tried to avoid this paradox of finding animal products in plants.
Phosphate mining in the mining basin of Extremadura, 1865-1956
Authors: Martínez Milán Jesús M.
Published: January 2023

Although the presence of phosphate in Cáceres (Spain) was known from the eighteenth century, it was not until the mid-nineteenth century, with the discovery of single superphosphate, that Extremadura became one of the principal exporting centres of phosphate in Europe. However, at the end of the century, new phosphate deposits began to be exploited in the United States and Africa, which relegated the phosphate from Cáceres to a secondary position. In this study, we analyse phosphate mining in Spain, examining the characteristics of its deposits and the evolution of the mining operations. Furthermore, we highlight the paradox that, despite having phosphate deposits, in the twentieth century Spain was a net importer of phosphate rock.

Aunque la presencia de fosfato en Cáceres (España) se conocía desde el siglo XVIII, no fue hasta mediados del siglo XIX, con el descubrimiento del superfosfato simple, cuando Extremadura se convirtió en uno de los principales centros exportadores de fosfato de Europa, hasta que a finales de la centuria se pusieron en marcha nuevos yacimientos de fosfato en Estados Unidos y África que relegaron al fosfato cacereño a un segundo plano. En este trabajo abordamos el estudio de la minería del fosfato en España, analizando las características de sus yacimientos y la evolución de las explotaciones mineras. En él destacamos la paradoja de que, a pesar de contar con yacimientos de fosfatos, España fue un país en el siglo XX netamente importador de mineral de roca fosfática.
Aristoi o el gobierno de los mejores. Un nuevo acercamiento a las élites nazaríes
Authors: SUÁREZ GARCÍA Sandra
Published: January 2023

In this interpretive essay we consider aspects of the existence of social elites in the Nasrid emirate and we raise some of the great problems that still exist regarding them in the historiographic production that concerns the Kingdom of Granada, especially based on Castilian sources. The questions asked range from terminological aspects: What should we call these elites? To conceptual and interpretive questions: Why are they elites and how do they act as such? Is there mutual recognition within the Nasrid elites? How are these higher social groups perceived after the conquest? All this with the aim of building a point of debate for an updated understanding of the social hierarchies of the Nasrid emirate.

En este ensayo interpretativo reflexionamos sobre la existencia de élites sociales en el emirato nazarí y planteamos algunas de las grandes problemáticas que aún existen en la producción historiográfica del reino granadino sobre éstas, especialmente desde las fuentes castellanas. Las preguntas formuladas abarcan desde aspectos terminológicos: ¿cómo debemos llamar a estas élites?, hasta cuestiones conceptuales e interpretativas: ¿por qué son élites y cómo actúan como tales? ¿existe un reconocimiento en el seno de las élites nazaríes? ¿cómo se perciben estos grupos sociales superiores tras la conquista? Todo ello bajo el objetivo de construir un punto de debate para una comprensión actualizada de las jerarquías sociales del emirato nazarí.
