The myth of minority : cultural change in Valencia in the thirteenth century at the time of the conquests of James I of Aragon
No full textThe history of the Iberian Peninsula is intricate and complex. Like most regions of
Western Europe in the Middle Ages, it suffered invasion, occupation, political change and an almost constant re–alignment of social alliances. Yet the thirteenth century saw one of the most massive shifts in the balance of power recorded in western history. In the space of fifty years, Islamic rule within the peninsula was ended for good, with the last vestiges of Muslim territory erased from the southern peninsula by the fifteenth century. Christian ascendancy heralded the arrival of a mixed policy of tolerance, as questions began to be asked about the nature of living together with other cultures and religions and whether this new rule – this new Christian rule – needed to tolerate the existence of others in its midst.
The most dramatic shift in policy occurred in the middle of the thirteenth century, as the campaigns of the two great northern kingdoms of Leon–Castile and Aragon–Catalonia moved southwards. The most dramatic outcome – due to the size of the Muslim population – was the relatively swift conquest of, in the case of Ferdinand III, the main towns of Andalucia and, in the case of James I, king of Aragon, the region of Valencia by 1245. Yet it is important when examining the campaigns of these great warrior kings not
to be overwhelmed by the idea of the religious ethos for the conquest. Some historians have chosen to interpret the thirteenth–century conquests as the Christian reaction for the centuries of subjugation under Muslim rule. The reasoning behind the conquests was far more complex than that of a mere idealistic crusade. In the case of thirteenth–century Christian expansion, desire for territory, sovereignty, inheritance, taxation and inter-territorial rivalry had just as much of a part to play as a desire to overcome the Muslim ‘infidel.’ It is the conquest of Valencia which will form the major focal point of this paper, examining the historical precedent for conquest, the nature of Muslim rule, the ulterior motives of the Christians, the
position of Muslims and Jews in existing Christian society (as well as under the
conquerors) and the role of James I in both consolidating and changing that culture.
The programme of this thesis is divided into two main parts. In the first part, the paper will explore the impact of historical events up to the birth of James; how these events both shaped him as a king and as a warrior; and how domestic concerns may have provided a greater incentive than religious missionaries spreading Crusading fever amongst Western kingdoms. It will review the impact of those close to the king; on the nature of his conquest; on his ideology; and how his attitude towards his conquered subjects was shaped. External political and geographical pressures impacted both upon the king’s campaigning and, ultimately, how complete the conquest was.
In the second part, the thesis will focus on the communities themselves and the changes that occurred as the conquests progressed further and further southwards. It will
contrast the circumstances and fortunes of those conquered with the lives of minority
cultures who were already subjects in the Christian realms. It will examine the idea of
hierarchy within minority culture and the social mores that had an even more direct
impact upon community life than the military campaigning. Most important of all, it will
question the idea of convivencia and the concept of tolerance and ‘living together.
Valencians in the curia of Alexander VI.
Get PDFAunque la relación entre Valencia y Roma ha sido una constante
en la historia, la presencia de valencianos en Italia en general, y en Roma en
particular, tratada ya desde diferentes puntos de vista, es más significativa
con Alejandro VI. Se estudia su participación en la Curia Pontificia, no más
numerosa que la de otras nacionalidades, pero respondiendo a diferentes indicadores
y estrategias. Se analiza también el número, formación y ascendencia
de los cardenales de origen valenciano, su vinculación a la defensa de lugares
estratégicos, el cursus honorum de los miembros de la Cancillería Pontificia,
el significativo grupo de clérigos y médicos valencianos, así como nepotes,
consanguíneos, familiares y comensales del papa y otros grupos clientelares:
notarios, mercaderes, juristas y artistas. La presencia de valencianos en Roma tuvo una importante repercusión en Valencia, tanto a nivel artístico, como
económico, político, religioso, social y cultural, en general.Although the relationship between Valencia and Rome has been a

Episode 6 - The violent technologies of ‘green’ infrastructures
No full textRita Valencia talks to Alexander Dunlap, researcher at the University of Oslo’s Centre for Development and the Environment, about the violent technologies of extraction required for the ‘sustainable’ or ‘green’ energy transition currently promoted by global North countries as a solution to climate change. They discuss the European Green Deal, infrastructural colonization of territories and common goods in the global South and the military-police configurations that protect critical infrastructures, but also organised resistance against Green Capitalism and its damaging consequences.

Alexander von Humboldt and the beginning of the Environmental Movement
No full textArticle in English, Abstracts in English and German.In the middle of the 19th century the question whether expanding civilization and industrialization had an effect on climate was discussed intensely worldwide. It was feared that increasing deforestation would lead to continuous decrease in rainfall. This first scientific discussion about climate change as the result of human intervention was strongly influenced by the research Alexander von Humboldt and Jean-Baptiste Boussingault had undertaken when they investigated the falling water levels of Lake Valencia in Venezuela. This essay aims to clarify the question whether Alexander von Humboldt can be counted among the leading figures of modern environmentalism on account of this research as is being claimed by Richard H. Grove in his influential book Green Imperialism. Colonial Expansion, Tropical Island Edens and Origins of Environmentalism, 1600-1860 (1995)

Además, Valencia aborda la declaratoria como elemento identitario de Cuautla, del sitio que recibió la ciudad en 1817, de los beneficios y protección que brinda dicha declaratoria a los inmuebles que se ubican dentro de la zona poligonal, entre los cuales destacan el museo de Cuautla y otras edificaciones importantes como el del centro INAH Morelos, el jardín etnobotánico o la zona arqueológica de Xochicalco.Entrevistas con los especialistas del INAH</p
La botánica valenciana a finales del período ilustrado (1786-1914)
No full textResumen: La memoria pone en evidencia el extraordinario número de plantas y de conocimientos sobre plantas que procedentes de los diversos territorios coloniales españoles, como México, Cuba y Filipinas, confluyeron en Valencia a finales del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX. La botánica valenciana no quedó al margen de la botánica colonial: contribuyó a la introducción de nuevas plantas exóticas en Europa y a la apropiación de nuevos conocimientos para la botánica europea.
Las diferentes instituciones de gobierno y el conjunto de la sociedad civil valenciana se esforzaron en averiguar las posibles aplicaciones económicas de las nuevas especies vegetales exóticas que llegaban de las colonias. La Universidad de Valencia instituyó dos cátedras de botánica en las que se estudiaban todas las plantas, no sólo las medicinales, y estableció un nuevo jardín botánico que albergó plantas de diversos lugares del mundo. También los arzobispos de la diócesis valenciana crearon un jardín botánico en Puçol, en el que crecieron numerosas especies vegetales que llegaban principalmente de América. Finalmente, la Real Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País de Valencia fomentó ensayos de aclimatación con las nuevas plantas exóticas y estudios sobre la conveniencia de su introducción como nuevos cultivos.
La memoria confirma la gran importancia que tuvo el interés generalizado por las nuevas plantas exóticas en la consolidación de la botánica como disciplina científica en la sociedad valenciana y, en general, en aquellas sociedades europeas con posesiones coloniales durante la época moderna.
La biografía del médico valenciano Vicente Alfonso Lorente y Asensi (1758-1813) ha constituido el eje principal de la investigación. Lorente fue catedrático de botánica de la Universidad de Valencia, director del nuevo jardín botánico universitario, colaborador en la creación y conservación del jardín botánico de Puçol, miembro de la Real Sociedad Económica valenciana y, a excepción de Antonio José Cavanilles y Simón de Rojas Clemente, el autor valenciano con mayor producción impresa sobre plantas de su época.Resumen: The dissertation evidence the extraordinary number of plants and knowledge about plants coming from Spanish colonial territories, as México, Cuba and Filipinas, met in Valencia at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. The Valencia botany does not keep out of the colonial botany: it contribute to the introduction of new exotic plants to Europe and to the appropriation of new knowledge to the European botany.
Government institutions and the whole civil Valencia … [+]society made an effort to find out the possible economical applications of the new exotics plants coming from colonies. The University of Valencia established two chairs of botany involving the all knowledge about vegetable species, not only about medicinal plants. Also, it built a new Botanical Garden containing plant around the world. Archbishops of Valencia established other Botanical Garden in Puçol, which contains numerously American plants. Finally, the Valencia Real Economical Society of Friends of Country promoted the acclimatized experiments of new exotic vegetable species and the inquiry about its introduction as a new crop.
The dissertation corroborates the significance of the new exotic plants general concern in the botany consolidation as scientific discipline at Valencia society and, generally, at Europeans societies with colonial possessions during the late modern age.
The biography of Valencia doctor Vicente Alfonso Lorente y Asensi (1758-1813) constitutes the main line research. Lorente was professor of botany at University of Valencia, director of the university Botanical Garden, one of the keepers of Puçol Botanical Garden, fellow of Valencia Real Economical Society and, after Antonio José Cavanilles and Simón de Rojas Clemente, the Valencia author with more botanical printed production at that timeADVERTIMENT.

El Maravilloso Mundo de las Fábulas (Tomo 2)
No full textHere is an earlier edition of a book I have listed under 1999. It uses a different printer (Unigraf in Madrid rather than Ripoli in Valencia), and it lacks an area code to the phone number for the publisher. Its cover is slightly crimped. The publication date of 1986 is found as part of the Deposito Legal on the obverse of the title-page. I notice that the Library of Congress cataloguer used that date of 1986 even for the later book published in 1999. As I wrote there, this oversized hardbound Volume Two picks right up where the first volume left off. The style of the art is the same: the illustrations are large and dramatic. All the fables except the first one (The Laborer and His Sons) have two pages; that first one has three. There are fourteen fables in this book.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: Spanis
