This study delves into the multifaceted challenges confronting children from vulnerable or fragile families, with a specific focus on learning disabilities, resilience (measured by grit), and material hardship—a factor intricately linked with children’s disabilities. Leveraging the predictive capabilities of machine learning (ML), our research aims to discern the determinants of these outcomes, thereby facilitating evidence-based policy formulation and targeted interventions for at-risk populations. The dataset underwent meticulous preprocessing, including the elimination of records with extensive missing values, the removal of features with minimal variance, and the imputation of medians for categorical data and means for numerical data. Advanced feature selection techniques, incorporating mutual information, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and tree-based methods, were employed to refine the dataset and mitigate overfitting. Additionally, we addressed the challenge of class imbalance through the implementation of the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) to enhance model generalization. Various ML models, encompassing Random Forest, Neural Networks [multilayer perceptron (MLP)], Gradient-Boosted Trees (XGBoost), and a Stacking Ensemble Model, were evaluated on the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS) dataset, with fine-tuning facilitated by Bayesian optimization techniques. The experimental findings highlighted the superior predictive performance of Random Forest and XGBoost models in classifying material hardship, while the Stacking Ensemble Model emerged as the most effective predictor of grade point average (GPA) and grit. Our research underscores the critical importance of tailored policy interventions grounded in empirical evidence to address childhood disabilities within fragile families, thus offering invaluable insights for policymakers and practitioners alike.
Berlin-Wahl 2021 – 3. und 4. Akt des Dramas1
Authors: Risse Horst
Published: April 2024

On the 19th December 2023, the verdict of the BVerfG on the Berlin Chaos election of 26th September 2021 was issued . The verdict only refers to the Bundestag election, which took place on that day together with the elections to the Berlin House of Representatives . As often reported, there was an unusually large number of irregularities, which is why the Berlin VerfGH declared the Berlin-related elections invalid as a whole and ordered a com- plete repeat election . Since the Bundestag election and the Berlin elections were connected, the question arises whether the BVerfG, on the one hand, and the Berlin VerfGH, on the other hand, applied the same criteria for determining electoral failures and dealing with them . Because, unlike the VerfGH, the BVerfG ordered a repeat election to the Bundestag for only about a fifth of the voters . A more detailed analysis of the two judgments shows that, in particular, the consequences of election failures were assessed differently by the two courts . While the BVerfG gave a very high priority to the continuation of the once-elected parliament and thus came to a repeat election as limited as possible, the VerfGH drew the opposite conclusion from the mass of failures . In the interest of an understanding of the relevant legal terms as uniform as possible, it would have been appropriate that the VerfGH had submitted its intended decision to the BVerfG in advance .
Die hessische Landtagswahl vom 8. Oktober 2023: Die Schwäche der Ampelparteien und das überraschende Ende von Schwarz-Grün
Authors: Debus Marc , Faas Thorsten
Published: April 2024

The Hesse state election on October 8, 2023, took place in a polarized political context that was characterized by a decreasing support for the parties of the federal government and the several implications of Russia’s attack on Ukraine for German and European politics . At the same time, the state government consisting of the CDU and Alliance 90/The Greens worked relatively conflict-free and remained stable even after the change in the office of Prime Minister from Volker Bouffier to Boris Rhein . The Social Democrats, as the largest opposition party, nominated the Federal Minister of the Interior, Nancy Faeser, as their top candidate and thus a politician well-known in Hessian state politics and nationwide . The election results reflected the weak support of the parties forming the federal government (SPD, Alliance 90/The Greens and FDP) in the electorate . The CDU benefited from the high level of dissatisfaction with the federal government and from the Prime Minister’s incumbency advantage . The CDU vote share was almost twice as high as the vote share of the AfD, which became the second strongest party in Hesse with 18 .2 percent of the vote and achieved its best result to date in a West German state election . The Left failed to win parliamentary representation . The CDU was able to choose its coalition partner between Alliance 90/The Greens and the SPD . The Christian Democrats selected – because of a smaller programmatic distance, as the analysis of the parties’ election manifestos indicates – the Social Democrats as their new junior partner . The analysis of the office and policy payoffs for CDU and SPD shows that the Christian Democrats were better able to enforce their office and policy preferences than the SPD .
Die bayerische Landtagswahl vom 8. Oktober 2023: Votum für Kontinuität der schwarz-orangenen Koalition
Authors: Walter-Rogg Melanie
Published: April 2024

The Bavarian election on October 8, 2023, has led to a shift to the right . The Free Voters and the Alternative for Germany (AfD) are the election winners and are once again making significant gains compared to 2018 . The parties of the Berlin coalition are the election los- ers . The Greens, in particular, received fewer votes than five years earlier, but together with the Free Voters and the AfD, they remain relatively equal behind the still dominant Chris- tian Social Union (CSU) . The CSU remains on its lowest result since 1950 and the SPD achieved its worst result in a German western state . The Liberals are punished the hardest, failing to reach the 5%-threshold for the seventh time in ten parliamentary terms . Massive problems such as rising inflation and energy prices, as well as increasingly serious challenges posed by climate change, migration and increasing right-wing populism, are also putting the wealthy state of Bavaria to the test and allowing state-specific issues to take a back seat in the election . The decisive factors for the election result were the general satisfaction with the work of the Prime Minister, the desire for stability and continuity in difficult times, but also a growing concern that the CSU can no longer cope with the growing problems on its own . That is why the citizens voted for the continuation of the black-orange coalition, which was formed only 19 days after the election .
Planspielangebote der Landesparlamente. Eine Bestandsaufnahme
Authors: Anger Tim-Niklas , Klausch Martin
Published: April 2024

The majority of German state parliaments offer simulation games for adolescents . These events are designed to teach young people about the processes of intra-parliamentary will formation and decision-making . This article presents a survey of the simulation games cur- rently offered by state parliaments . The analysis is structured by content and organizational criteria . All simulation games focus on the legislative function of parliament . Other parlia- mentary functions are only addressed on the side or not at all . Furthermore, two thirds of the simulation games are designed for school classes . They usually last a maximum of one day and are offered several times a year up to several times a week . In contrast, four parlia- ments offer simulation games for individuals, which take several days and are carried out much less frequently than the programs for school classes . In addition to the general over- view, detailed insights are provided into the event “Youth in Parliament”, which is organ- ized by the parliament of the Hamburg city-state .
Konträr oder konstruktiv? Zur produktiven Widersprüchlichkeit zwischen Föderalismus und parlamentarischer Demokratie
Authors: Sonnicksen Jared
Published: April 2024

The relationship between federalism and parliamentary democracy was long considered to be susceptible to functional problems, and thus in parts incompatible . Accordingly, cross- level political coordination, which is necessary for federalism in practice, stands at odds with the dynamics of partisan competition typical of parliamentary systems of government . The interactions between both processes were considered as either susceptible to deadlocks in intergovernmental coordination or as a cause of de-parliamentarization of politics . In light of the diversity of federal systems in practice, however, this viewpoint appears as over- ly narrow . While democracy and federalism are surely not inherent counterparts, the con- junction of these two different regime dimensions in one political system is by no means inevitably contradictory . Instead, the search to reconcile and balance different, and in-parts countervailing demands and functional logics, pose an ongoing task for any federal democ- racy . Depending on patterns of coping with the tensions between them, indeed the inter- connections and interaction between federalism and parliamentary democracy can prove to be productive and to facilitate modes of democratic governance .
Polen ist zurück – Chancen für ein polnisch-deutsches Engagement in Europa nach den Parlamentswahlen 2023
Authors: Skóra Maria
Published: April 2024

On October 15, 2023, the Law and Justice Party (PiS) lost majority in parliamentary elections. Two months later, a new government of the Civic Coalition, Third Way, and the New Left, under the leadership of Donald Tusk was sworn in, with an ambitious agenda not only regarding domestic issues, but also elevating Poland’s position in Europe and the world. This development opens pathways for Polish-German reengagement. Opportunities emerge in particular in the realm of bilateral relations as well as intergovernmental formats. Yet, challenges persist in attitudes toward specific European policies, like migration, climate, institutional reforms.
Deutsch-italienische „Young Leaders“ im Dialog für ein geeintes Europa in Zeiten wachsender Herausforderungen
Authors: Nigro Amedea , Rappold Julian
Published: April 2024

Globale Herausforderungen unserer Zeit wie internationale Konflikte, der Umgang mit Migration oder der Klimawandel erfordern eine einheitliche europäische Antwort, um ein sicheres, wirtschaftlich stabiles und gleichzeitig werteorientiertes Europa zu gewährleisten. Eine enge deutsch-italienische Zusammenarbeit erscheint in diesem Kontext wichtiger denn je. Deutschland und Italien, beides Gründungsmitglieder der Europäischen Union (EU), sind historisch eng miteinander verflochten und wichtige Partnerstaaten in verschiedenen Bereichen wie Wirtschaft und Handel, Wissenschaft und Forschung und des kulturellen Austauschs. Die Zusammenarbeit in der Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik nimmt vor dem Hintergrund der angespannten globalen Sicherheitslage eine immer zentralere Rolle ein. Auf EU-Ebene haben beide Staaten auch aufgrund ihrer Bevölkerungsgröße und ihrer Wirtschaftsleistung ein erhebliches politisches Gewicht und können somit das politische Geschehen in Europa entscheidend beeinflussen und lenken.

Die dritte Ausgabe des „Deutsch-Italienischen Nachwuchsführungskräfte-Dialogs – Spinelli Forum“ brachte im Jahr 2023 30 deutsche und 30 italienische „young leaders“ aus den Bereichen Politik, Wirtschaft, Medien, Wissenschaft und Zivilgesellschaft zusammen, um über die aktuellen Herausforderungen der europäischen Politik und Integration zu diskutieren, insbesondere mit Blick auf die deutsch-italienischen Beziehungen. Organisiert wurde das Spinelli Forum 2023 vom Institut für Europäische Politik (IEP) und dem Istituto per gli Studi di Politica Internazionale (ISPI) in Kooperation mit dem Auswärtigen Amt und dem italienischen Außenministerium.
Sanfter Exzess
Authors: Fett Lennart
Published: April 2024

Excesses do not disrupt order but emerge from it in the first place. This analysis illustrates how closely order and excess are interwoven in Adalbert Stifter’s Bunte Steine (1853). It is the seemingly balanced uniformity of things that repeatedly reveals the outrageous and excessive structure in Stifter’s texts: Catastrophes, for example, erupt from the middle of a cultural space seemingly purged of unforeseen disruptions. The same holds true of the protagonists' forbidden desires, which are revealed all the more through their careful concealment. It is therefore precisely the "harmless things", as Stifter calls them, that signify the eternal return of excess.

Import substitution policy in conditions of ensuring food security of the state
Authors: Матюшонок А.А.
Published: April 2024

целью исследования является анализ обеспечения требуемого уровня продовольственной безопасности государства в контексте реализации политики импортозамещения. Современные условия хозяйствования требуют от производителя огромных усилий, необходимых как для удовлетворения спроса со стороны более требовательного потребителя, так и нахождения разумного баланса, позволяющего в условиях действия санкционных экономических режимов сохранять стабильность деятельности. Реализуемая государством политика импортозамещения призвана не только обеспечить требуемый объем необходимых продовольственных товаров и сельскохозяйственного сырья, но и в условиях продолжающегося давления сохранить конкурентоспособное производство, с учетом необходимости его развития. Современные реалии свидетельствуют о действенности выбранного пути, требующего дальнейших шагов, направленных на выстраивание партнерских отношений в рамках научно-технического и производственного развития предпринимательства. В связи с сокращением доходов населения, проблемы обеспечения продовольствием с целью удовлетворения возникающих запросов смещаются со стороны ассортиментного фактора к его экономической доступности. Так, все чаще потребитель находится в поиске товаров-субститутов, не имея необходимого объема финансовых средств. В данной связи, целесообразным является усиление мер государственной поддержки участников аграрного производства, что будет способствовать повышению доступности предлагаемых продовольственных товаров.

the purpose of the study is to analyze ensuring the required level of food security of the state in the context of the implementation of the import substitution policy. Modern economic conditions require enormous efforts from the manufacturer, necessary both to meet demand from a more demanding consumer, and to find a reasonable balance that allows maintaining stability of activity under the conditions of sanctions economic regimes. The import substitution policy implemented by the state is designed not only to provide the required volume of necessary food products and agricultural raw materials, but also, in the face of ongoing pressure, to maintain competitive production, taking into account the need for its development. Modern realities testify to the effectiveness of the chosen path, which requires further steps aimed at building partnerships within the framework of scientific, technical and industrial development of entrepreneurship. Due to the reduction in population incomes, the problems of providing food in order to satisfy emerging demands are shifting from the assortment factor to its economic accessibility. Thus, increasingly, the consumer is in search of substitute goods, without having the necessary amount of financial resources. In this regard, it is advisable to strengthen measures of state support for participants in agricultural production, which will help increase the availability of food products offered.
Kantian Animal Ethics, Deep Dignity, and the Moral Game
Authors: Salgueiro Inês ,   International Association for Environmental Philosophy
Published: April 2024

This paper explores Kant’s concept of dignity to claim that animals deserve moral consideration. The central notion in the paper is of that of “moral game,” a hypothetical scenario that illustrates our obligations to cooperate with rational agents and the natural world. This game displays how rational agents can collaborate with non-rational animals despite their inability to engage in reciprocal legislation. From reflection on what this game shows and by introducing a notion of “deep dignity,” I argue that rational beings have a duty to respect the moral status of non-human creatures through indirect moral rights.
Hegel and the Political Economy of the Family
Authors: Lettow Susanne ,   Graduate Faculty Philosophy Department, New School for Social Research
Published: April 2024

In this article, I show that Hegel’s philosophical articulation of the family is inextricably bound to his engagement with political economy by focusing on three central aspects of his theory of the family. Firstly, I analyze how Hegel construes the family as a historically distinct social dispositif and constitutive element of the modern order of property. I argue that Hegel’s construction of the family and its place in the modern order of property is not only gendered but also racialized. Secondly, I focus on Hegel’s articulation of the nexus between the family and civil society and his critical diagnosis of the structural problems that result from it. Thirdly, I discuss Hegel’s concept of labor and the political-epistemic limitations of his problematization of civil society, which are bound to it. I draw attention to three aspects, namely the confinement of the concept of labor to civil society, Hegel’s rearticulation of the gendered matter/form distinction, and the relation between Hegel’s economic notion and speculative usage of “labor.” Finally, I consider briefly how a critical reading of Hegel’s articulation of the political economy of the family can provide productive insights for a multidimensional theory of the family today.
The Propositions of Freedom
Authors: Filieri Luigi ,   Graduate Faculty Philosophy Department, New School for Social Research
Published: April 2024

In the Critique of Practical Reason, Immanuel Kant provides two different propositions of freedom. According to the first, in the “Analytic of Pure Practical Reason,” freedom establishes the possibility of moral agency—i.e., it is the ratio essendi of the moral law. According to the second, in the “Dialectic of Pure Practical Reason,” freedom is the object of one of the practical postulates (CPrR 246–54; AA 5:132–41). Why should Kant postulate something that has been allegedly established as the ground of moral agency? Does Kant appeal to two different conceptions of freedom? In this paper, I argue that Kant (1) in both cases conceives of freedom as an unconditioned form of causality, and (2) pursues two different aims according to two different but complementary arguments. On the one hand (the practical standpoint), he wants to argue that the causality of freedom is actual, through moral agency, in the domain where the laws of nature also apply. On the other hand (the theoretical standpoint), he is aware that the possibility of achieving the highest good would be compromised if we did not assume, along with the other two postulates, a world in which only the causality of freedom applies. While freedom as the ratio essendi of the moral law is actual, freedom as a postulate is a mere object of belief.
Speaking Up on My Way Out the Door: A Close Examination of Church Exit and Members’ Dissent
Authors: Hinderaker Amorette , Garner Johny T. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

This narrative study examines the lived experience of leaving a church and the members’ communication of dissatisfaction as part of that experience through participant stories. Situated within Jablin’s (2001) organizational exit framework, this study included interviews (N = 22) with former members of multiple denominations of Christian churches. Results suggest several theoretical implications. First, the findings of this study suggest that narrative of the exit experience is excluded from grand organizational narratives within faith communities. Second, as members exit a faith community, they experience a tension between wanting to express dissent and a pressure to leave silently. Third, findings challenge current models of organizational exit, suggesting a view of exit that is tied both to organizational form and to the reach of the organization into the members’ lives.
Moral Mapping: Transcendence in Religious Iconography
Authors: Vartabedian Sarah , Drumheller Kristina , Gerlich R. Nicholas ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

In Clarendon, Texas, a debate emerged over the material (re)presentation of Christianity in the form of 10-foot crosses morally mapping the cultural landscape. To analyze the rhetoric of moral mapping, we examine how the transcendental embodiment of faith structures the landscape and mediates the ideological subject in order to assess the material function of Clarendon’s crosses. The disassociation between the interpretation of the Clarendon community as “Christian” and the complex reality of what it means to be an ideological subject constituted through—or apart from—religious identification necessitates a theoretical frame that addresses the crosses as structuring and structured experiences.
For King and Country
Authors: Fowler Randall , Sonntag Ekkardt Alexander ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

Because of the role religion plays in upholding socio-political arrangements in Jordan, we argue that Jordanian Protestants, as a religious minority, can be productively understood as a religious counterpublic. Given the explicitly Islamic nature of Jordanian national identity, their unique mode of counterpublicity seeks to simultaneously maintain a distinct religious identity while also compensating for Jordanian Protestants’ deviance from the prevailing religious norms via overt displays of national loyalty. This compensatory mode of counterpublicity is visible through Jordanian Protestants’ public displays and symbols, public sermons and statements, and on social media.
Social Capital of Last Resort
Authors: Norman Jean ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

Faith-based organizations often provide resources to low-income populations. In the religion literature, this is seen as a key element of the social capital of religion for these populations. However, this qualitative study finds a different element in how low-income people experience social capital. In focus groups, this study finds a surprising number of references to God and spirituality, but not faith-based organizations, among a sample of low-income people, many experiencing homelessness, when talking about resources available through their social networks. This study finds a population so estranged from resources they can trust that they substitute God as they understand Him as their only source of social capital. These participants described communication with God as a way to access resources through kind strangers who may decide to be generous with them as a result of God’s intervention.

Rural Modernity in Britain: Landscape, Literature, Nostalgia
Authors: Bluemel Kristin
Published: April 2024

Rural writers of the 1920s and 1930s bemoaned as they documented the blights upon landscape that Nan Fairbrother assigns to a post-World War II generation. This chapter argues that rural ‘middlebrow’ literature, represented by works of Richard Llewellyn, Mary Webb, Stella Gibbons, A. G. Street, Adrian Bell, H. E. Bates, Flora Thompson, and Francis Brett Young, constitutes a uniquely imaginative and creative response to rural modernity in Britain. It finds hope and wisdom in this literary past, analysing literary methods and cultural impacts of rural writers who confronted industrial landscape, mechanised farming, pylons in the countryside, urban housing in rural areas, and mass motorised leisure during the interwar years.
Linguistics in Schools: The English Past, Present, and Future
Authors: Hudson Richard
Published: April 2024

This chapter considers the past, present and future of attempts to link linguistics to education in England, with occasional glances at other countries. It distinguishes top-down initiatives taken by governments, and bottom-up initiatives driven by linguists and teachers. It also considers the challenges and opportunities for those wanting to introduce linguistics into education, arguing that any linguist can make a serious contribution to education by doing what they do best: teaching undergraduates, researching, writing and scholarship. It ends on a note of optimism.
Investigating Metre through a Linguistic Lens in English Language Arts*
Authors: Keyser Beth R.
Published: April 2024

While teaching English, two questions have repeatedly arisen: 1. How does one teach grammar that aligns with students’ linguistic intuitions? 2. How does one teach poetic meter in a way that is consistent, accessible, and instructive? The answer to the first question has been a guide to the second one. This chapter will focus on the latter question by pointing out the limitations of conventional textbook definitions of meter, discussing the ways in which scientific method in linguistics lends itself to helping students understand the difficult task of scanning meter, and describing the ways in which scientific thinking with linguistic theory can be blended in a series of lessons for high school students in an Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition class.

A new canvas of learning: Enhancing formal analysis skills in AP art history through AI-generated Islamic art
Authors: Carpino Krista , Hutson James
Published: April 2024

This study explores the use of AI art generators to enhance formal analysis skills in AP Art History students, with a focus on Islamic Art and Architecture. Students, often entering the course with high academic achievements, find the unique challenge of articulating detailed visual descriptions of artwork. The study’s approach involves using AI image-generation websites, like wepik.com, where students create AI images resembling Islamic artworks studied in class. This method aims to refine their descriptive skills, focusing on visual evidence rather than relying on identifying details. The choice of Islamic art, markedly different from other historical periods covered in the curriculum, is intended to boost retention and learning engagement. The results show that students were more successful in describing architectural artworks compared to two-dimensional narrative pieces, with limited site access and the need for iterative description refinement being key challenges. Successful attempts were marked by precise vocabulary usage and detailed descriptions, resulting in AI images closely matching the original artworks. In contrast, less successful attempts revealed deficiencies in comprehensive and detailed descriptions, particularly in narrative artworks. These outcomes highlight the potential and limitations of AI tools in art history education, suggesting that their effectiveness depends largely on the depth and precision of student inputs. The study not only demonstrates the innovative application of AI in education but also underscores the importance of detailed visual analysis, pointing towards future enhancements in AI-assisted educational methodologies.

Published: April 2024

Online education has mainly been at the core of discussions after Latin America's Covid-19 sanitary crisis started in March 2020. Teachers and institutions have explored different ways to face what is now called "the new normal". This study aims to identify the perspectives of Ecuadorian university students on online English language learning in order to inform the design of strategies that allow improvements in the teaching process. This quantitative study was carried out at a university in Ecuador and encompassed 4.936 participants from different majors. An online questionnaire was administered for data collection and analyzed through the application of neural networks. The results showed that students perceive learning English online positively and that their greatest strengths are in listening and writing, while their difficulties lie in developing their reading and speaking abilities. This suggests that more attention should be given to the development of reading and speaking strategies in an attempt to fill the gap that students indicated while answering the questionnaire. Some directions in that regard are given in the conclusion.

Las ciencias naturales en la universidad nacionalcatólica. La reacción antimoderna
Authors: Otero Carvajal Luis Enrique
Published: April 2024

Entre 1940 y 1951 los tribunales a cátedras de Universidad de Física, Química y Ciencias Naturalesestuvieron controlados por una reducida nómina de catedráticos nombrados por el Ministerio de Educación Nacional, fue una forma de garantizar el control ideológico y político del procesode acceso a cátedras. En Física las áreas que habían sido protagonistas del despertar de la Física en España durante el primer tercio del siglo XX fueron desmanteladas, la inmensa mayoría de sus protagonistas estaban en el exilio, en prisión y fuera de la Universidad, o desplazados tras su reincorporación a la Universidad. La política autárquica de la dictadura favoreció la posición de privilegio de la Química en la creación de cátedras universitarias durante los años cuarenta, a la vez que era desmantelada la escuela de Enrique Moles. En el campo de las Ciencias Naturales los postulados ideológico-culturales del franquismo chocaron frontalmente con la teoría de la evolución. Con ello la Genética, quedó descabezada, mientras la Geología y la Paleontología quedaron seriamente afectadas. Con la depuración y el exilio se produjo una profunda descapitalización humana, líneas de investigación con una asentada trayectoria fueron abandonadas y jóvenes científicos, con unasólida formación, fueron excluidos de la Universidad.

tándem Sangróniz-Ponce de León. La acción cultural española en Italia durante el primer franquismo, 1945-1952
Authors: Hierro Pablo del
Published: April 2024

El objetivo de este artículo será analizar la labor llevada a cabo por el embajador español en Roma (José Antonio de Sangróniz) y el consejero cultural (Mario Ponce de León) entre los años 1945 y 1952, en un esfuerzo por entender la acción cultural española hacia Italia en los primeros años tras el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Al mismo tiempo, este artículo tratará de evaluar las consecuencias de la acción cultural española en Italia comprobando si fue capaz de cambiar las imágenes y percepciones que la sociedad italiana tenía de España. En este sentido, discutiremos las limitaciones de una política cultural que, a pesar del apoyo institucional que recibió formalmente, realmente no tenía claros unos objetivos a medio o largo plazo que fuesen más allá de la supervivencia del régimen de Franco.
De la esperanza al desencanto: el exilio español en el 57 México de Manuel Ávila Camacho (1940-1946)
Authors: Sola Ayape Carlos
Published: April 2024

Durante la presidencia de Manuel Ávila Camacho, el exilio republicano español escribió importantes páginas de su biografía en las que México habría de cobrar un protagonismo especial. Desde 1940 y hasta 1946, periodo coincidente con la segunda Guerra Mundial y primeros compases de la posguerra, los exiliados españoles se debatirían entre la esperanza y el desencanto en su incesante búsqueda por el regreso a la España perdida. Como se verá en las páginas siguientes, el vínculo entre México y el exilio español no se acabaría con el cardenismo.
tensiones entre el "aperturismo" y el "inmovilismo" franquistas. El caso Grimau
Authors: Machado Ximena
Published: April 2024

Entre noviembre de 1962 y abril de 1963 se produjo en España la detención, tortura, juicio y ejecución del dirigente comunista Julián Grimau. Este proceso generó tensiones en el interior del Gobierno franquista, concretamente entre los promotores de dos proyectos políticos diferentes en lo que respecta al rumbo que debía seguir la dictadura. Mientras los ministros militares «inmovilistas » ejercían presión sobre Franco para que el dirigente comunista fuera ejecutado como castigo ejemplarizante a la «subversión»; los ministros «aperturistas» desplegaban toda su capacidad de influencia diplomática para justificar la ejecución ante la opinión pública internacional, con el objetivo de mitigar su rechazo y poder seguir avanzando en la integración de España en la Comunidad Económica Europea.

(no) retorno del exiliado Julián Gorkin: El problema de la inserción en la historiografía de los emigrados políticos españoles
Authors: Glondys Olga
Published: April 2024

El artículo reflexiona sobre la problemática del (no) retorno a España de Julián Gorkin y considera su caso para plantear el general problema de la adecuada inserción de los exiliados en la historiografía. El escaso impacto público de Gorkin en la transición fue debido a su exilio, pero también a las causas políticas más complejas. Su marginación origina reflexiones metodológicas para el estudio del exilio, con el fin de liberar a sus protagonistas de la artificial valoración que solo toma en cuenta «el paradigma del interior». La conclusión es que las reflexiones conceptuales, la interdisciplinariedad, y finalmente, la incorporación de la dimensión internacional en el estudio del antifranquismo deberían ser necesarios puntos de arranque en las investigaciones, que han de contribuir a repensar el legado político y cultural español de la posguerra.
despolitización de la memoria histórica del exilio republicano en democracia: excepciones, paradojas y el caso de Jorge Semprún
Authors: Balibrea Mari Paz
Published: April 2024

Este artículo interpreta los usos que del pasado republicano español y su exilio hicieron los gobiernos socialistas de Felipe González a través de la cultura y las políticas culturales. Se argumenta que la recuperación de las figuras de intelectuales, incluyendo la concesión de premios y honores, la creación de fundaciones y la promoción de congresos y publicaciones jugó un papel significativo en la construcción simbólica, liderada desde el poder socialista, de una genealogía moderna y europeizante para la España de los años 80, que no alteró de manera significativa la linea marcada por los gobiernos de la UCD en la Transición. Igualmente se demuestra que ese uso necesitaba someter los conceptos, y a las personas, los colectivos o las instituciones que los encarnaban, a un vaciado ideológico, donde monarquía y república o vencedores y vencidos se convertían en términos intercambiables, conceptos post-políticos e ideológicamente maleables. En la semiótica de la Transición y la España de los 80, la figura del intelectual o político exiliado ilustre fue un significante cuyo significado se reducía a un pasado prestigioso que había que capitalizar con la menor intervención posible del individuo portador del signo. Las muestras de agencia política o cultural, con resultados visibles de intervención significativa en el curso de la Transición y la democracia, son muy pocas entre este colectivo, y a analizar una de sus excepciones, la de Jorge Semprún, se dedica la segunda parte del trabajo. Partiendo sobre todo de sus dos libros de memorias escritos en español, Autobiografía de Federico Sánchez y Federico Sánchez se despide de ustedes, se reflexiona sobre la evolución ideológica del autor y su encaje en la evolución de la izquierda hegemónica en la España democrática. El artículo termina señalando la paradoja de cómo la trivialización y visibilización, o la visibilización trivializada de la Segunda República y su exilio que caracterizaron las legislaturas socialistas en los 80 y 90, crearon las condiciones para que surgieran precisamente los antagonismos que acabarían por destruir la hegemonía de este discurso.

España y el mundo desde 1975
Authors: Pardo Sanz Rosa María
Published: April 2024

El artículo ensaya un balance los últimos 40 años de acción exterior de España desde el final de la dictadura. Se destacan los éxitos con la integración en la Europa Comunitaria y la normalización de la política de seguridad en la OTAN; los beneficios de la política iberoamericana y de las misiones militares internacionales y la puesta en marcha de una nueva política cultural, de cooperación y de proyección económica. Sin embargo sigue habiendo carencias y errores en ámbitos relativos a la unidad de acción exterior del Estado, la calidad de control democrático o la utilización de la política exterior en la lucha política interna, así como un desfase entre objetivos y recursos que la crisis de los últimos años ha acentuado.
