The thesis studies ski resorts planned and built at high altitude after the Second World War in the Franco-Italian Alps.The two national contexts, different for economic history, politics and geographical location, now share similar problems, which look to the future of a tourism model based on mass attendance, long stays and an offer concentrated around skiing. Indeed, climatic hazards, changes in the modes and times of tourist use, ageing of structures and infrastructures, are only some of the challenges which these places are facing today. Several researchers from various disciplines then suggested that the station could be rethought in continuity with the territory, the latter included in its economic, geographical or administrative nature.The research aims at investigating these questions in the field of architecture and through a historical study. By questioning the relationships established between the station and the territory (in its spatial, environmental and landscape components) during the design, construction and evolution process, the wish is to go beyond a reading of high mountain tourist establishments as decontextualized objects.Working on the spatial coordinate of the territory, we formulate the hypothesis that the establishment of winter sports resorts has led to large-scale transformations, and that, at the same time, the environmental, historical, economic and geomorphological characteristics of the sites concerned have played an active role in the design and construction process.Working on the temporal coordinate of the territory, we assume that the history of the winter sports resorts built in the 1960s and 1970s is only one step in the long process of transforming high-altitude sites for tourism. In this perspective, the history of activities preceding tourism, located in the same places, plays a decisive role.We rely on a method developed by environmental historians such as William Cronon, who considers the history of a territory as the result of interactions between human actions and ...

A contribution to the study of the role that members of the Castilian high nobility played in politics and society in the royal towns by the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th centuries. The paper analyzes the case of the town of Soria, where only a few nobles of relatively high rank lived at this time, and proves that the lords of Ciria and Borobia, members of a minor branch of the Arellano family, tried to become members of the ruling elite of Soria, yet had to face strong resistance. Only after the revolt of the "Comunidades" broke out, a member of this family, Carlos de Arellano, succeeded in playing a more active role in the local politics of Soria. After the revolt was crushed, he tried to continue playing this role, but failed in the medium term. ; Contribución al estudio del papel que los miembros de la alta nobleza jugaron en la vida política y social de las ciudades castellanas a fines del siglo XV y comienzos del siglo XVI. El autor se centra en el caso de la ciudad de Soria, que apenas contó con nobles de alto rango en esta época entre sus vecinos. Demuestra que los señores de Ciria y Borobia, segundones del linaje de alta nobleza de los Arellano, trataron de integrarse en la sociedad política soriana, pero tropezaron con fuerte resistencia. Y sólo el estallido de la revuelta comunera les proporcionó la oportunidad que buscaban para tener un papel más activo en la vida política soriana, que trataron de mantener tras su aplastamiento, aunque sin éxito a medio plazo.

The main purpose of this text is to analyze the scope and evidentiary value of clinical history in the legal-procedural field, in the light of the Cuban legal system as opposed to the disputed definition of its character as a public or private document. As a secondary objective, it seeks to identify those factors that constitute legal risks associated with clinical history and that affect their evidentiary value. With these aims, the methodology followed was essentially based on the methods of analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction and hermeneutics, applied within the framework of a documentary, argumentative and exploratory type of investigation. Among the results, the behavior of the state of the art of the subject in the country and the legal shortcomings in this aspect are shown. The conclusion points out the need to harmonize the health legislation that refers to the clinical history with the requirements established from our civil procedural norm regarding the public or private character of the documents. ; El presente texto persigue como propósito principal analizar el alcance y valor probatorio de la historia clínica en el ámbito jurídico-procesal a la luz del ordenamiento jurídico cubano frente a la discutida definición de su carácter de documento público o privado. Como objetivo secundario, se pretende enunciar aquellos factores que constituyen riesgos legales asociados a la historia clínica e inciden en su valor probatorio. Con tales designios, la metodología seguida estuvo sustentada esencialmente en los métodos analítico-sintético, inductivo-deductivo y el hermenéutico, aplicados en el marco de una indagación de tipo documental, argumentativa y exploratoria. Entre los resultados se muestra el comportamiento del estado del arte del tema en el país y las falencias legales en este aspecto. La conclusión señala la necesidad de armonizar la legislación de salud, que se refiere a la historia clínica, con las exigencias establecidas desde nuestra norma procesal civil en cuanto al carácter público o privado de los documentos.

This article offers an approach through administrative and cultural history to the problems associated with gathering and processing data for the Spanish national census of 1920, and by implication for earlier Spanish censuses. It focuses on the Basque province of Guipúzcoa, making use of correspondence between the central statistical office in Madrid, the provincial jefe de estadística and the localities, and of reports on three problematic towns within the province. The issues that emerge regarding 'undercounting', the definition of administrative boundaries and the classification of demographic characteristics are set in the wider context of census-taking practices and problems elsewhere in Spain and in other cultures.

AbstractThrough an analysis of two oral history interviews, this article examines the impact of machismo, closed‐mindedness and blame on women's sexual experiences in the urban Andes between the mid‐1970s and 2009. The testimonies of Marcela and her daughter, Graciela, also shed light on the processes by which gender ideologies and cultural values concerning sexuality are transmitted across generations. The article further addresses the ethical and methodological challenges of conducting interviews on sensitive themes and interpreting the resulting testimonies. It argues that interviewing individuals about their sexual and reproductive lives, while forcing oral historians to confront personal and political fears, enriches our understanding of a range of gender‐related phenomena.
