En el 50 aniversario de La formación de la clase obrera en Inglaterra, este artículo analiza la historia del trabajo y la política popular en Madrid desde la perspectiva del clásico de Thompson. A modo de homenaje, abordamos el mismo periodo (1780-1833) y reproducimos la estructura temática de su libro. En primer lugar, estudiamos el impacto de la Revolución francesa en Madrid y su papel en la crisis del Antiguo Régimen. A continuación describimos los cambios en las relaciones sociales de producción durante el ascenso del capitalismo, centrándonos en la proletarización del artesanado. Para finalizar, abordamos la cultura y política populares, subrayando el papel desempeñado por las clases trabajadoras en los conflictos entre liberales y absolutistas. Aunque estos procesos no dieron lugar al surgimiento de una conciencia de clase, desembocaron en el ascenso y declive de otro sujeto histórico al que nos referimos como pueblo bajo ; ABSTRACT On the 50th anniversary of The Making of the English Working Class, this paper studies the history of labor and popular politics in Madrid from the perspective of Thompson's classic. In order to pay homage to the author, we analyze the same period (1780-1833) and reproduce the thematic structure of his book Firstly, this essay studies the impact of the French Revolution in Madrid and its role in the crisis of the Ancien Régime. Then it describes the changes on the social relations of production during the rise of capitalism, focusing on the proletarianization of artisan workforce. Finally it analyzes popular culture and politics, stressing the role of working classes in the conflicts between liberals and absolutists. Although these processes didn't create a working class consciousness, they led to the rise and fall of another historical subject that we refer to as "pueblo bajo" (lower people).

In the last five years, the number of people suffering with eating disorders has more than doubled. According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetic women are nearly three times more likely to develop an eating disorder than non-diabetic women. Diabulimia, one of many eating disorders, is the dangerous and often fatal practice of altering or omitting insulin to lose weight. The uncanny link between diabetes and eating disorders is irrefutable. Diabulimia is an eating disorder in which people with Type 1 diabetes deliberately give themselves less insulin than they need, for the purpose
