[EN] It is impossible to disassociate the concept of globalization with immigration. The latter has been positioned as one of the direct consequences of the global world, as the market liberalization and the reduction of local production protective policies in developing countries has denoted an increase of poverty and marginalization levels in peripheral areas. As a result, this situation is generating greater instability in political and economic terms, leading to internal disputes which causes the disjointing of society, forcing a great number of people to leave their home countries in order to access better life conditions. This project researches and involves inside the Spanish immigration issue, which the country has experienced since the beginning of the 21st century and still on, focusing in the narrations of those protagonists in this exodus who are now settled in the city of Barcelona. In an interactive sound installation format, the project aims to generate a representation of the phenomenon, which also conveys the experience of thousands of people around the globe, by creating an abstraction of a massive circulation space, as airports symbolize. "Histories in Transit" pursues the exploration, through oral histories, of the more human aspect of the issue, approaching the load of memory that each of the interviewees carry as a to obtain knowledge about their experiences in a broader sense, since most of the disclosed information about this phenomenon is mostly expressed and made available in cold (generalizing and abstract) numbers which do not embody the most important aspect: the people behind those numbers. ; [ES] Es imposible disociar el concepto de globalización con el de inmigración.

En el presente trabajo vamos a realizar un somero examen de los ritos y simbolismos del matrimonio arcaico romano de los primeros tiempos, cómo va evolucionando, hacia formulas mas sencillas y por ello mas usadas en la raigambre social. El proceso de la progresiva inestabilidad familiar fruto del divorcio y de la aparición de nuevas costumbres sociales, que cristalizan en la proliferación de uniones de hecho, como antecedente de una visión más actualizada de estas uniones en el panorama legislativo internacional y finalmente legislativo en la legislación autonómica y estatal española

Para este número especial, el dossier trata del Estado de Campeche, que de la mano de sus autores y autoras, presenta un estado del arte respecto a la vida de las personas que lo habitan, y las formas en las que se ha construido socialmente el hábitat. Por otro lado, el documento de documentos retrata el momentum de una región que se presenta como la cuna de una de las grandes civilizaciones y una cultura milenaria que se resiste a morir y que al contrario, se renueva constantemente. Es un esfuerzo por colocar algunos de los temas relevantes de una región del sureste mexicano que, en su lejanía geográfica, se acerca al lector a través de las palabras y las imágenes.

En el contexto actual, la arquitectura y el diseño enfrentan el reto de generar soluciones sostenibles desde la perspectiva social, ambiental y económica. Para ello, la apropiación e identificación con el objeto de diseño puede constituir uno de los requisitos fundamentales.

Mainstream research on political violence has traditionally paid attention to the analysis of wars, guerrilla warfare, & terrorism techniques wherein the existence of organizations makes clear the causal path between political demands & the triggering of violence. The absence of organizations in diffused forms of violence rendered the link between violence & politics more difficult. However, in the last decade research on riots has convincingly shown that this type of nonorganizationally based violence follows strategic patterns of targeting, timing, & spatial spread. By building from those findings, I focus on street violence (SV). I contend that explanations of SV based on its more impressionistic traits (just as a mechanical response to socioeconomic deprivation) fall short of being the whole story. Rather, SV seems to be triggered in settings where actors have political benefits to reap. Concretely, if we look at the Spanish Basque Country during 1996-2000, a region where SV became a persistent type of nonorganizationally based violence, it took root more in towns where the level of polarization between groups in conflict was higher. That finding fits analytical evidence from the Basque conflict as well as anecdotal evidence from other enduring conflicts all over the world. Tables, Figures, References.

Spatial Models of Politics have been successfully applied to explaining electoral behavior. These models, based on both individual & party location in some spatial dimensions (normally one: ideology), allow us to predict electoral results. However, sometimes the paucity & parsimony that this kind of models offer fit badly with unusual electoral contests. Thus, although empirical evidence on nationalism-friendly Spanish regions tells us that ideology weights more than nationalism in order to explain electoral behavior, instead what we observe is a growing polarization on nationalism dimension. As a consequence, what this paper tries to do is to supply empirical ammunition to defend just this common-sense hypothesis: that polarization on the nationalism dimension lies in the strong electoral shifts in Basque politics.
