Examine new trends in the writing of new history—and what they mean to information science! History has been devalued, causing a lack of career prospects for historians, a decrease in vocations to the history profession, and historical discontinuity between generations. History Under Debate: International Reflection on the Discipline is a recap of the crucial Second International Historia a Debate conference, held on July 17, 1999 in Santiago de Compostela. This book details the comparative critical perspectives on history, historians, their audiences, and the coming trends that will inevitably impact information science. The in-depth examination provides innovative approaches to historians as they redefine their discipline in relation to the global society of the new millennium while presenting invaluable insights for librarians, social scientists, and political scientists. History Under Debate: International Reflection on the Discipline examines how the writing of history in the twenty-first century is revitalized by international comparative historiography, thanks to new technologies and the multinational integration processes in economy, politics, culture, and academics.

En el concilio celebrado en Vienne (Francia) en 1311, el papa Clemente V decretó un Canon en el que se autorizaba y ordenaba a las universidades de Salamanca, Oxford, París y Bolonia la enseñanza de lenguas orientales, en concreto, de «árabe, hebreo y caldeo». El canon conciliar de Clemente V no cayó en papel mojado y tuvo como consecuencia el comienzo inmediato en Salamanca de la enseñanza de lenguas orientales entre las que ocupó un lugar preferente el hebreo. De hecho, el hebreo permaneció en el elenco de enseñanzas de la Universidad de Salamanca desde esa fecha hasta la desamortización de Mendizábal (1836). Doscientos años más tarde (1521) se introdujeron las enseñanzas de hebreo en la Universidad de Alcalá que corrieron la misma suerte que los estudios de Salamanca con la mencionada desamortización. A mediados del s. XIX hubo un nuevo impulso de los estudio de hebreo que se introdujeron en las Universidades de Madrid, Barcelona y, una vez más, Salamanca. En nuestra Universidad, sin embargo, se vieron dramáticamente interrumpidos en 1936 y no se restauraron hasta 1990, si bien en Salamanca la Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca los había introducido ya en...

Despite the fact that it seems to represent an issue directly connected with the question of where legal history is heading today, it still has not been the object of a focused inquiry. Against this background, the book’s proposal consists in rethinking key confluences related to this problem in order to provide coordinates for a collective understanding and dialogue. The aim of this volume, however, is not to offer abstract methodological considerations, but rather to rely both on concrete studies, out of which a reflection on this conjunction emerges, as well as on the reconstruction of certain research lines featuring a spatiotemporal component. This analytical approach makes a contribution by providing some suggestions for the employment of space and time as coordinates for legal history. Indeed, contrary to those historiographical attitudes reflecting a monistic conception of space and time (as well as a Eurocentric approach), the book emphasises the need for a delocalized global perspective.

“Latin America” is a concept firmly entrenched in its philosophical, moral, and historical meanings. And yet, Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo argues in this landmark book, it is an obsolescent racial-cultural idea that ought to have vanished long ago with the banishment of racial theory. Latin America: The Allure and Power of an Idea makes this case persuasively. Tenorio-Trillo builds the book on three interlocking steps: first, an intellectual history of the concept of Latin America in its natural historical habitat—mid-nineteenth-century redefinitions of empire and the cultural, political, and economic intellectualism; second, a serious and uncompromising critique of the current “Latin Americanism”—which circulates in United States–based humanities and social sciences; and, third, accepting that we might actually be stuck with “Latin America,” Tenorio-Trillo charts a path forward for the writing and teaching of Latin American history. Accessible and forceful, rich in historical research and specificity, the book offers a distinctive, conceptual history of Latin America and its many connections and intersections of political and intellectual significance....
