Reconstructing Empire: Spain, Cuba, and the United States, 1861-1886
No full textThis thesis explores the interconnections between the U.S. and the Spanish Empire in the late 19th century, adopting an approach that departs from the traditional historical narratives that have considered these histories in isolation. It contends that between 1861 and 1886, the Spanish Empire and the United States underwent an interdependent process of transformation, triggered by the crisis that arose with the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War. From this perspective, which I refer to as Imperial Reconstruction, I suggest a reinterpretation of Spain’s Sexenio, Cuba’s Ten Years’ War, and U.S. Reconstruction. This dissertation uses a wide typology of sources in order to bring these various perspectives together, drawing extensively on congressional speeches, private and diplomatic correspondence, and the daily and satirical press.Aquesta tesi explora les interconnexions entre els Estats Units i l’Imperi espanyol a finals del segle XIX, adoptant un enfocament que s’allunya de les narratives històriques tradicionals que han considerat aquestes històries de manera aïllada. La tesi sosté que entre 1861 i 1886, l’Imperi Espanyol i els Estats Units van experimentar un procés de transformació interdependent, desencadenat per la crisi que va sorgir arran de l’esclat de la Guerra Civil nord-americana. Des d’aquesta perspectiva, a la qual anomeno Reconstrucció Imperial, suggereixo una reinterpretació del Sexenni espanyol, la Guerra dels Deu Anys a Cuba i la Reconstrucció dels Estats Units. Aquesta tesi utilitza una àmplia tipologia de fonts per tal d’apropar aquestes diverses realitats, amb un èmfasi particular en els discursos parlamentaris, la correspondència privada i diplomàtica i la premsa diària i satírica.Programa de Doctorat en Històri

Colonial reckoning : reexamining the slave past in Catalonia
Full text linkPublished online: 07 January 2025Colonial vestiges dominate the landscape of Vilanova i la Geltrú, a small city near Barcelona. From the eighteenth century onwards, Vilanova had very close links to the “ever-faithful isle” of Cuba to the extent that, during the nineteenth century, it was known as L’Havana Xica (Little Havana). These ties are nota- bly visible in the town’s central square, where a monument dedicated to Josep Tomàs Ventosa i Soler, an important merchant and politician in colonial Cuba, overlooks a porticoed plaza. In October 2016, this statue was desecrated by political activists critical of Spain’s violent, colonial past. While the Spanish colonial past has left a substantial legacy in Catalonia, it is only recently that the role of slavery in its creation has come to the fore. This chapter presents the case study of the Mediterranean city of Vilanova i la Geltrú to help explain how this past is intertwined with other concerns that form part of the current political discourse, such as that about national identities
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
