This short article evaluates the changing and conflictive discourse and practice around homosexuality over the twentieth century in Spain and Portugal. The Iberian states were under dictatorship at the time of the Stonewall riots in 1969. Despite the repressive legislation introduced in both countries, it is possible to discern resistance against the law and against a general climate of social opprobrium. Rather than seeing Stonewall as a starting point or an obligatory definitive reference for 'gay liberation', the experience of LGBT people in Iberia allows us re-evaluate the history of sexuality against the backdrop of authoritarian regimes, the colonial past and acts of resistance, however small, for a critical history of LGBT life in Europe and beyond.

This book contains most of the conclusion reached by the geneticists, anthropologists, and linguists at the meeting `Prehistoric Iberia'. This is the first time that a particular historical topic has been approached from a multidisciplinary point of view in a single meeting. The novel conclusions reached include the following: There is no evidence of the demic diffusion model of people substitution in Iberia during the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition. New technologies were probably reached by circum-Mediterranean navigation. Present day Iberians are genetically very similar to North African populations and also to other more distant Eastern Mediterraneans, including Turks. Arab invasions in North Africa and Spain in 711 AD did not result in a massive gene flow. North African Berbers and Spaniards have maintained their old genetic identity; this invasion was mostly religious and cultural. Celts in Iberia are difficult to find. Basque and Berber languages are similar to many other extinct `Usko-Mediterranean' languages (Etruscan, Minoan). These `older languages' were later substituted by the Euro Asiatic languages (Latin, Greek, German). Finally, the Saharan area is considered as a radiation focus of peoples, (and languages) who were forced to emigrate from a fertile area where hyper-arid conditions began to develop after 7000 BC

This article addresses the process of industrialization and deindustrialization in Iberia Peninsula from the early XX century to the dawn of the XXI century. Specifically, it focuses on the dynamic territorial processes which led to a general deindustrialization trend in many industrial Iberian strongholds, since the early 1970s. Furthermore, it explores one case-study (Barreiro city in Portugal), which was known as the first, and most important modern Portuguese industrial city, and which has suffered from a violent process of deindustrialization in the last couple of decades. In synthesis, this article builds on the Barreiro experience in adapting to a new panorama where the industrial landscape is no longer a prevalent one, and assesses the role of the national and EU policies in supporting these adaptation processes. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

La ambigüedad y la indefinición de los textos clásicos al referirse a las etnias prerromanas han limitado las posibilidades de profundizar en el conocimiento de dichos pueblos. En el siguiente trabajo pretendemos aproximarnos a la cuestión a partir de la interpretación del registro arqueológico de los pueblos antiguos del área valenciana. Prestaremos especial atención al vínculo existente entre la identidad étnica y el surgimiento de entidades geopolíticas de carácter urbano. De esta manera, se analizaran los indicadores arqueológicos que puedan ayudar a delimitar estas unidades territoriales y aproximarnos a las sociedades que crearon los elementos distintivos con los que robustecer los estados emergentes ; The ancient texts referred to pre-roman peoples in the Iberian Peninsula are very ambiguity and vague. For this reasons the possibilities of study these peoples are very scarcety. In this paper we try to approach this topic through the archaeological research related to the ancient Contestani and Edetani that inhabited the modern Valencian Country (Spain). We focus on the links between ethnic identity and state formation in eastern Iberia. In this way, we analysed the archaeological record which allow us define the territorial units and the approach to the societies which created their identity symbols to reinforce the emergence of the states

Questioning the traditional association between machismo and Hispanic culture, this collection of essays focuses on revisiting archetypes of masculinity from medieval Iberia to the present by placing them in the context of the divergent counter-images that have always existed below the radar. The essays in this volume investigate both the construction and de-construction of masculinity in Iberian cultures and literatures from different genres and historical periods and from different disciplines (literary studies, film studies, art, religion, visual culture, etc.) and methodological perspectiv
