La relació entre ciència, tecnologia i societat als llibres de text de ciències i tecnologia de batxillerat
In: Athenea Digital: Revista de Pensamiento e Investigacion Social, Heft 1, S. 1-17
Since they appeared, the studies of Science, Technology & Society (STS) have been interested in education as the key to help the citizens of tomorrow to participate in the discussions dealing with the future of technoscience. In Spain, the STS subjects became part of the secondary school programs since the educational reform. Nevertheless, the analysis of the textbooks used in Catalonia shows that a deterministic vision of science & technology - both of them thought as entities with their own logic of development, independent from social reality - coexists with a neutralistic conception, which considers technoscience as a basic tool that can be used by humanity either in a correct or an incorrect way. The student has the perception that science & technology shape the social reality, but that are somehow independent from society.

Energy and environment: management, technology and conflicts in a warming world
Once considered a marginal or even irrelevant issue, in recent years, the environment has come to occupy an increasingly important place on the political, social and economic agenda. Environmental conflicts are often due to conflicting political and economic interests and can have major social repercussions. Until recently, little economic value was attached to drinking water; the same was true of arable land, energy generation and most natural resources. Pollution was regarded as a minor problem. Today, the economic and social value and costs of the environment are seen as incalculable and growing. Soil, food, water and air pollution have led to a significant increase in disease, and the cost of the ensuing environmental clean–up can be exponential. While the solutions are necessarily biological, they can have considerable economic consequences, too ; Postprint (published version)

Body and Head: Equality, Punishment, and Justice in the decapitation of Louis XVI
El ensayo examina tres aspectos de la decapitación de Luis XVI para demostrar como ésta simbolizó una transformación del principio de legitimidad política, a la vez que impactó en el desarrollo de las concepciones modernas de justicia formal y justicia sustantiva. La decapitación es considerada una metáfora de la transferencia de soberanía del rey a la ciudadanía, y es analizada poniendo énfasis en los discursos convencionales de Saint Just y Condorcet, y sus distintas concepciones de legalidad y legitimidad. Estas dos líneas de pensamiento son posteriormente analizadas como el fundamento de dos de las tendencias surgidas de la Revolución Francesa: los derechos humanos y el totalitarismo en sus versiones modernas. ; Th is essay examines three aspects of the beheading of king Louis XVI to show how it symbolized the transformation of the legitimacy principle of the body politic, and the development of modern formal and substantive justice. Th e beheading is seen as a metaphor of the transference of sovereignty from the king to the people. Louis Capet's is analyzed focusing on the speeches of Saint Just and Condorcet, and their opposing conceptions of legality and legitimacy. Th ese two threads are considered as fundamentals of two of the trends developed as part of the legacy of the French Revolution: the modern approach to human rights and totalitarianism.
