Nonreligeous Wedding Ceremony Programs

Lerma Levante-EMV, 28 de noviembre de 2010

Las anteriores entregas «Sepulcros de Cristal» (Levante-EMV, 16-06-2009) y «Reis, tombes i savis» (Levante-EMV, 28-09-2010), en las que se reflexionaba respectivamente sobre la exhibición patrimonial de restos humanos en museos y la pertinencia o no de las exhumaciones en curso de reyes y otros personajes históricos célebres, han conducido casi indefectiblemente a centrar la presente meditación intelectiva en torno al rol reservado en la sociedad contemporánea a la blasfemia ordinaria.

En este orden de cosas y desde la propia etimología griega de la palabra cual injuria de la reputación celestial, blasphemy, understood as an affront to God or disrespect towards any religion revered, although it is logically prohibited by law in some countries ruled by theocracies, democracies like ours denominational or secular par excellence of the French Republic, seems to be a social and legal reserve paradoxical or anachronistic.

So, not to mention the scatological outbursts as thoroughbred in their own language areas of the former dominions of Latin, which is a good example of the angry reaction of the pastor of Almussafes to the staging of a play of The Fera Ferotge group: "What most serious of representation is that shit on God, on the Cross, with St. Peter and the carpenter who made "(sic) (Levante-EMV, 07/15/1999).

More inklings about the calibration in accordance with the dogma of happened, sacrilegious or blasphemous abdominal mere relief urged by the lack of toilet facilities for workers, they still remembered around the foul ups and downs of the rumored appearance near the altar Cathedral of suspected defecation, at the risk of last-minute rush to inaugurate the exhibition Llum de les Imatges in February 1999 (Levante-EMV, 02/23/1999). Bracket episode worthy of a grotesque Gothic windows Consulate of the Sea, which represents the Aesop fable in which a wise man squatting empty stomach or gargoyle "fake" in the style tower was rebuilt in the Market (1902) in the form of evacuated children, sustained by a female figure.

deserves a special mention unedifying recent exchange of slaps Rotova between a priest and one of the revelers of the Divine Aurora, inopidamente for throwing some of them to the ground a consecrated wafer, which according to Canon 1367 literally means the penalty of excommunication "latae sententiae" automatically. Although fortunately the Eucharistic desecration far today as to the severity of punitive sanctions of the European land occurred in Brandenburg in 1510, where they were executed 38 Jews burned at the stake, covered with hoods or corozas infamous in the subsequent order of faith in a Germany still Knoblauch then Catholic.

surprising, however, the survival of express restrictions painted on the walls of some of the traditional Valencian ratchets where they develop significant cash bets, sometimes entire crops, around the ball game, "Prohibit blasphemy."

But the reality is that it was not until 1988 that the blasphemy was decriminalized in theory by Organic Law 5 / 1988, even though Article 525 of the English Penal Code as a crime is failing those who "made public in speech, writing or any type of document, a mockery of dogmas, beliefs, rites or ceremonies, or vejen , also publicly, to those who profess or practice "and the singer Javier Krahe is in the dock awaiting sentence for the television broadcasting of the video" How to Cook a Christ. "

socio-cultural mess in which it is aligned to end Eiximenis Francesc tirade when he preached satirically as "blasphemers blaspheme the ass of God" and theses releasing Albert Hauf collected at the symposium Riu de L'Home to a decade ago, in the sense that along the History, blasphemy has been playing a role on transgressive or emancipatory, as a safety valve social, to mock the power at times of increased repression clerical, in a plausible parallel with the pragmatic purpose of the ancient Roman style defixiones slander "Quintula semel cum sit et numquam Fortunali" marked on a sheet of lead or talisman 'in pedis plant.

BLASPHEMY IN PRAISE OF THE POLITICAL AND SCIENTIFIC The (On the work of Max Weber)

Ricardo González Villaescusa

Review appeared in Science and Technology Notes No. 21 , December 2006, pp. 50-51.

"Also the early Christians knew very exactly what the world is ruled by demons and who was involved in politics, ie who agrees to use as a means of power and violence, has sealed a deal with the devil, so that is not true that good activity occurs only good and evil evil, but often the opposite happens. Who does not see this is a child, politically speaking. "

Max Weber, the politician and scientist, 1918.

It very difficult to summarize a book published in the early twentieth century, constantly cited and on which there are numerous papers and citations in scholarly journals and internet, however, as a consequence of having quoted this author His work in the forum of members of AACTE, the head of this section requested to inform the work and the author. We do not claim to be more than a few notes I encourage readers of our magazine to read a book that maintains a very fresh despite the years he has edited.

is not really a book conceived as such but two conferences of the author, whose recipients were college students, which must be understood in that context some of the obvious provocations that are released throughout the work, as well as clear and direct style. Moreover, the English edition under review is prefaced by Raymond Aron , making the book into a great work of reflections of two authors who separated the two great wars (both were mature men erupted first and second World Wars) and his strong belief that links anti-Marxist.

Max Weber is the social scientist who proposed the alternative stronger scientific Marxist paradigm of social sciences and liberal sociologists and historians drink in their sources, which are numerous as it is an author of a very extensive and varied work. It was a clear anti-positivist, which deeply marked the distinction between social and natural sciences, which only begins to fade today, considering that "the truths in economics, sociology and political science are always partial and reflect only part of the social complexity .

Regarding the work in question, Weber expressed a "contradiction" lived in first person, being a scientist, the son of a senior politician and Otto von Bismarck's Germany, and being himself a man of action who came to participate in the creation of a reformist political party (Partido German Democratic) that aimed to unite the social democrats and liberals. The radicalization of Europe in the first half of the twentieth century led to the failure of a project that, ironically, could be the basis of politics practiced in our days on the mainland for almost every game of electoral spectrum.

At the first conference and the largest part of the book, Politics as a vocation, the author defines the policy and the qualities that should be those dedicated to it. Since the definition of the state as a "human community within a given territory (...) calls (successfully) for the monopoly of legitimate physical violence", understands that to gain control of the state produces the unavoidable use power and violence as inevitable means for achieving other ends, whether selfish or altruistic, as reflected in Weber's own header to this article.

Politics is a constant struggle to achieve the impossible, with passion, sense of responsibility and moderation, tenacity and perseverance. Qualities that are summed into a politician with such a vocation, humility. A politician must overcome vanity, every hour of every day, the enemy of "giving to a cause and all restraint." And this is where we find the first major difference with the scientist. In academic circles vanity is an "occupational disease" but completely harmless to not distort the work of scientists. The specialization of science in those years had "entered a phase of specialization previously unknown and which is going to stay forever," allows the "experience of science" that feeling that you have the anonymous scientist Weber puts in his mouth the phrase, "it took thousands of years before I came along and thousands waited in silence for me to test this hypothesis." Without this experience of science, it is not possible vocation as a scientist to Max Weber, which is absolutely incompatible with that humility which calls for the politician.

In the second part, the author devotes a good place to applied science, the meaning of science, criticizing the address at that time had acquired between young scientists of the early twentieth century. Despite all the achievements, progress, knowledge and problems new man "will never be able to capture more than a minimal portion of what the life of the spirit shines continuously." Questioned, and then, if the medicine can raise questions (reference values) about whether life is worth living or when they cease to be (a statement of values), when the lifeline of the terminally ill to end by saying that In short, "all natural sciences respond to the question of what we do if we want to master life technically."
Therefore, it is impossible to be both a man of action and man of science without going into deep contradictions between the two vocations. This contradiction manifests itself more so when totalitarianism is worth of science, especially the humanities and social sciences, to submit for the purposes of scientific research for political action. Thus, physicists from the former USSR they could do "communicate" with dialectical materialism but could not dictárseles their formulas and equations. Thus "Max Weber never tired of showing that, in politics, no concrete steps could take the dignity of a scientific truth. It is impossible to favor one group without hurting another, demonstrate that progress in global production is not paid too expensive to ruin small traders or impoverishment of a disadvantaged region. One can only say with certainty that a particular measure is in the common interest when increasing the satisfaction of some without decreasing anyone "( From the review of Prometheus Editorial ).

To R. Aron, in his introduction of the edition consulted the contradiction between the two vocations is at the point that "there is not a single example of opposition [political] that the government used against unfair or deceitful arguments consisting criticized for not having achieved success nobody could have achieved or made no concessions have been avoided. For Professor social science that wants to enter politics this is a permanent tension (...), the vocation of science is unconditionally true. The political profession does not always say it. " And the best example to understand it focuses on the basic principle of the welfare state. The greatest satisfaction that occurs among the poor by allocating the resources of the richest whose degree of dissatisfaction is lower than that achieved by the first result of this charge in the form of tax, reducing the income of the first to benefit of seconds, not a scientific truth, only political action that has produced quite a few "rewards" between large masses of population throughout the twentieth century, especially after the two world wars in the West, have achieved middle class status. I thought it worth asking whether, in fact, this show is not the result of a social scientist, Raymond Aron, who is clearly positioned liberal approach, defending the political and economic liberalism.

Therefore, the debate in Forum members AACTE which alluded to the political quality and / or scientific new head of the Secretariat of State for Universities and Research is so old it was well worth remembering in terms that occurred in Germany in early last century.

Reference Letter For Study Abroad

NO SCIENTIFIC OR INTELLECTUAL

LEVANTE-EMV, Editorial
November 21, 2010

Inhibition of scientific and humanistic thought of the social dialectic Valencia is one of the biggest drags on the current society and Valencia impossible to configure a common area of \u200b\u200bcollective deliberation, one of the nuclear axis of the sphere of democracy. Is a deficit that is more apparent today because, by contrast, participatory wealth gloss recent past. The gnawing emptiness of experts and intellectuals on public platforms, where the criterion of authority has proposed to dissect, analyze problems and spur awareness, today is a resounding lack that instructs involutional temperature in the index of social progress. Perhaps the experts do not want to be involved, as before, in civic engagement, or take risks supposedly wicked.

may think that his intellectual has to be available on areas in need of education prior to capture their trials. You can even add to their reluctance sketches nihilistic or skeptical to depart, their opinions, think, should not alter the course of events, much less have change public awareness. Maybe. But his 'flight' of public space makes a more sterile and resigned. And there is plenty of material for their participation: the huge debt and legacy coercive Valencia, weak financial map and the fragility of the Consell, the relevance of education to European standards and their material miseries, totems identity forgers but still Valencian forth from optical, corruption to the political dismemberment. Just numb and brittle societies do not miss the absence of intellectuals and scientists in public debate. Valencia has turned the red light.

ARMIES, WAR AND WAR ARCHAEOLOGY


Archaeology, Cultural Property, and the Military (Laurie Rush Ed.), Boydell Press, 2010.

Laurie Rush is a civilian employee of the Department of Defense was responsible for major public awareness campaign on the heritage of the conflict zones of Iraq and Afghanistan, for the soldiers and political leaders.

" Campaign that has earned a scholarship from the American Academy in Rome of 2010-2011 for a program that will seek to raise awareness in developing countries through education and support organizations, such as the Defense College of NATO.
Without wanting to take any importance to these measures or to any achievements, and, without prejudice to the substantial destruction and looting carried out during the second Gulf War, it is surprising how homo homini lupus parentheses can do to avoid destroying the material evidence of the same man as kills himself.

Traducción Reseña the ruins, geopolitical issue Pierre Verluise
aparecida in GlobalBrieg . World Affairs in the 21st Century

Del libro de Jean-Pierre Payot War des ruines. Archéologie et Géopolitique , Choiseul Éditions: Paris,
2010, 192 pp.

hits bookstores original novel. This is the groundbreaking book signed by Jean-Pierre Payot, La guerre des ruines. Archéologie et Géopolitique , published in Paris by Editions Choiseul. Passionate archeology, the author is an assistant professor of Geography and History has been able to discover a new way for geopolitical analysis: the ruins.

His argument is based on a strong culture. Demonstrated by numerous examples from the last king of the Empire Neo-Babylonian, Nabonidus, there have been many rulers who have used archaeological remains for political purposes. Places of memory, identity construction, removal of the others ... in geopolitical distortions to ruin the appeal is multifaceted. The author knows how to appeal the issue thanks to a well-kept style.

The instrumentalization of archeology geopolitical purposes

The author is well expressed in an interview: "You can put thousands of examples that support the manipulation of archeology geopolitical purposes. At the origin, an entity in nature political, religious or cultural object to another with respect to all or part of a territory. In either case erupts archeology at the time of a position of both sides in the conflict. Whatever the systematic archaeological context, a sort of "historical right." The invocation of science or archaeological remains from the excavations, as part of a "geopolitical court" permits and other provided some historical arguments - "worthy of faith," therefore, to legitimize this or that claim of territory. In such scenarios, archeology is orchestrated to certify a priority, superiority, and ultimately, a territorial right based on a pseudo-subject in time. This right can, moreover, have a political content, and cultural and religious. In fact, many artifacts, many archaeological monuments are lined with a religious dimension. Moreover, often, this dimension refers to religions still "alive" today. The temptation is irresistible to assert the indisputable archaeological proof of a right to dominate the territory seamless for those who say they are believers of these religions. "

Archaeology of the divine

Among the passages to be read without delay, be taken into account colonial Le rapt et ses suites (p. 50); La Chine et l'Occident (p. 66) and L'archéologie du divin (p. 91). This chapter addresses the issue of Biblical Archaeology and the geopolitical interests at stake. Or how some Israelis use archeology to prove the priority of the Jewish presence in Palestine. In this case, the issue of masks before the control of territory and legitimacy to master. Demonstrate with other excavations perspective archaeological undertaken in 2007 at the foot of the Al-Aqsa mosque by Israeli teams.

It shows the variety of archaeological handling geopolitical purposes, Jean-Pierre Payot makes a useful work because it gives both depth and clarity to the issue. All who face this issue regularly under the current find here echoes solid elements to support their thinking. Light contribute to public debate.

INVESTIGATE THE RUINS WITHOUT GAPS

El País, Editorial of October 17, 2010

One of the undesirable consequences of the crisis and budget adjustments would be the loss of some of the promotions of scientists and engineers prepared the entire history of our country. Lack of reasonable employment prospects after many years of training, sometimes in some of the best national and international institutions, can mean losing the impetus to persevere in a research career are not possible. The effects of abandonment is irreversible, can not be gaps in an activity so challenging when you are competing with more developed systems than ours and with better defenses in times of crisis.

can also happen not to abandon her career and decide to migrate and integrate these systems, which the country makes a ruinous business. Invest in a long and expensive training, lack of opportunities when completed, will augment the research capacity and innovation in other countries, typically, are already formed with open arms. The construction of a new economic framework based on knowledge requires continuity as far as human resources development. The formation processes of construction personnel and groups of excellence need long periods of maturation in which occurs the addition and the replacement of human resources without interruption. Aggravated by the fact that often the best people are more easily to settle in other countries, and they do if there is a range of opportunities to offset the media still clearly inferior in our centers. Then, when the situation improves, there may be programs for reinstatement but experience shows how difficult it is to attract those who have found accommodation outside and a good fit in a system that has been absent for so long.

imposes harsh recession, but if there is an area where you can not weaken the effort accumulated in recent years is the creation of a strong field of R + D + i, namely the incorporation of the best among those who have gone through a training process that allows competing with success with their colleagues from other countries. We jugamos much, not only in the years of coherent it because the consequences of the decisions in this land at the time is prolonged.

Levante-EMV, 28 September 2010

paraphrase the title of legendary bestseller in archeology Disclosure of the German CW Ceram " Gott, Graber und Gelehrte " (1949), we could not resist the temptation to comment on current projects such as the opening intact since 1285, royal tomb of Valencian by birth Peter III the Great in the Cistercian monastery of Santes Creus, the warmth of the 850th anniversary of its founding.
In a dramatic intervention futuristic aesthetic (and economic cost to the height of the stake) with wise monkeys provided with comprehensive and white protective masks , which introduces a tacit methodological asepsis with the implicit intention of taking away from the romantic and dyes extracted from colonial Howard Carter in the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun in 1922. Or per què no?. Of Christian sarcophagus profanació amb the "glory" Simón Bolívar skeleton in the National Pantheon Venecol , marinated amb reflexions premeditades them religious, President Hugo Chávez on the resurrection dels morts "My God, my God ... O my Christ, Christ Our prayed in silence watching those bones, I thought of you. And how he wanted to, how much I wanted you to come and tidy as Lazarus, Arise Simon, who is not a time to die. He immediately remembered that Bolivar Vive ... (Vide Reinventing liberator, article Maite Rico in the country)
monastery in Tarragona This intervention could recall, not without some risk households, an imaginary "Peter Arise and walk" singularly little to celebrate the 650th anniversary of the seed that has allowed the Government to Carod Rovira said "not many governments in the world who can look many years of history."
Nothing really when compared to the imperial house of Japan rising sun, in force at least since 11 February of 660 BC

Therefore, as one of us in review these same plains "Crystal tombs" (Levante-EMV, 16-06-09), within the meaning of Code of Ethics of ICOM 1986 in its Chapter III, point 6 is estimated that sufficient precautionary investigations on anthropological remains, must be performed in a manner acceptable to all those who profess a religious belief, however, as there would venture from the scope of its own canon law. Regarding the violation of their graves ecclesiastical rules are much more coercive in the set, perpetuating the Jewish tradition, that are sacred and blessed (ca. 1205, § 1), subject to the same rules that govern for als mateixos temples (ca. 1207) .

Així doncs, a manera de botó de mostra vernacle d'esta aparent trivial qüestió, serveixca la carta dirigida, al propi papa Benet XVI, d'una plataforma ciutadana, sol·licitant la mediació del pontífex per a evitar «la profanación de un Campo Santo» (sic), en el cas del cementeri desamortitzat, encara que no desacralitzat, de les arruïnades restes del Reial Monestir de la Puritat de les Religioses de Santa Clara, baix l'amenaça de la construcció d'un pàrquing subterrani (Levante-EMV, 29-11-06) i de la qual es desconeixen encara a hores d'ara el designis vaticans.

De la mateixa manera que també ha caigut en el somni dels justs el principi d'acord pregonat, fa més de lustre i mig, aconseguit per Alfonso Rus amb la Santa Seu per a traslladar des de Roma a Xàtiva les despulles mortals dels papes xativins Calixt III i Alexandre VI (Levante-EMV, 23-01-03).
Escrúpols morals que, en canvi, no ens consta que hagen merescut els espatllats ossos dels governants musulmans dels segles XI-XIII soterrats en la rawda o panteó aristocràtic de l'Alcàsser de Balansiya. Exemples que haurien enriquit una impossible reedició de l'assaig Mort et Pouvoir (Paris, 1998) del desaparegut antropòleg francés L.-V. Thomas.

Finalment, inherent parameters from the secular thought, the anthropological studies in question here, is only in its deontologically lawful means, provided they meet the aphorism " Mortui living teaching" or what is the same, as this type forensic investigations always contributing to the construction of incomplete account of the vicissitudes of human life in its tortuous become the intricate history of revolts providencialista genes.

Until then, to commemorate events such as the Planetary Bill of Rights of Man (1789), parallel to the desecration of the royal tombs French Saint-Denis (1793), or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) does not seem necessary to exhume one more essential than ever forgotten the victims of that same limited human journey.

version English
Parafraseando holder legendary bestseller in the archeology of spreading the German CW Ceram " Gott, Graber und Gelehrte "(1949), heme podido not resist the Temptation of gloss proyectos nowadays as the opening of the intact, since 1285, royal tomb of Valencia Pedro III the Great in the Cistercian monastery of Santes Creus, at the mercy of the 850 anniversary of its founding.

intervention in a spectacular futuristic aesthetic (and economic cost to the height of the stake) to wise monkeys fitted with white grain and protective masks, which introduce a methodological aseptic tacit implicit claim to distance himself from the romantic tints burglary colonial Howard Carter of the sealed burial chamber of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in 1922. Or why not? the christian desecration of the sarcophagus with the "glorious" skeleton of Simon Bolivar in the National Pantheon of Venezuela, seasoned by the deliberate religious reflections of President Hugo Chávez on the resurrection of the dead "My God, my God ... Christ, Christ Our prayed in silence watching those bones, I thought of you. And how he wanted to, how much I wanted you to come and tidy as Lazarus, Arise Simon, who is not a time to die. I immediately remembered that Bolivar Vive "...

Intervention in the monastery Tarragona, might evoke, not without some risk domestic , to an imaginary "Pedro get up and walk!" singularly soon to celebrate the 650 anniversary of creation germ that has allowed the Government to tell Carod Rovira "no són els gairâ puguin governsID the sermon that" lluir "tants anys d'història. Nothing really compared to Japan's imperial household, effective February 11, 660 a. C.

therefore, as one of us reviewed in these pages in the opinion article "Crystal Graves (Levante-EMV, 06.16.2009) under the Code of Ethics of ICOM 1986 in his chapter III Section 6 is estimated that sufficient caution remains anthropological research, should be performed in a manner acceptable to all those who profess a religious belief, however just as you would venture, since the scope of authority of canon law itself, with respect to the violation of ecclesiastical burial, its precepts are much more binding, in establishing, perpetuating the Jewish tradition, which are sacred and blessed (Canon 1205, § 1 ), subject to the same rules as those applying to the same churches (canon 1207).

So, as a vernacular button displays this apparent trivial matter, serve the letter, no less than Pope Benedict XVI, a public platform, seeking the mediation of the pope to avoid "the desecration of a Holy Mountain" (sic) in the case of the cemetery sold off, but not desecrated, the ruined remains of the Royal Monastery of the purity of the Sisters of Santa Clara, the threat of the construction of an underground car park (Levante-EMV, 29.11.2006) and whose intentions are unknown Vatican still today. Similarly it has also fallen into the sleep of the just touted the agreement in principle, more than five years and a half, hit by Alfonso Rus with the Holy See to move from Rome to Xàtiva the mortal remains of Popes Calixtus III and setabenses Alexander VI (Levante-EMV, 01/03/1923). Scruples

moral, however, we are not aware that they deserved the broken bones of the Muslim rulers XI-XIII centuries buried in the cemetery rawda or aristocratic palace of Balansiya. Examples that would have enriched an impossible test re Mort et Pouvoir (Paris, 1998) of the late French anthropologist L.-V. Thomas.

Finally, since the parameters inherent to secular thinking, anthropological studies to which we have been discussing here, but would be lawful in their media deontologically, provided they comply with their obligations to the aphorism "Mortui viventes docent" or whatever it is, in long as this type of forensic investigations contribute to the construction of the always incomplete life adventure story of the man, its tortuous evolution of the intricate byways of nothing providential history.

Until then, to celebrate planetary events such as the Declaration on the Rights of Man (1789), parallel to the desecration of the French royal tombs of Saint-Denis (1793), or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) does not seem necessary to exhume more than anyone to ever forgotten anonymous victims of the same human gait.

LA FRANCO FACTORY OF ARCHAEOLOGY (1939-1956)

Villaescusa
Ricardo González English version of the text appeared in Nonfiction.fr

Francisco Gracia Alonso, Archaeology during the early Franco (1939-1956) , Bellaterra, Barcelona, \u200b\u200b2009, 551 pages.

enormous work in a half thousand pages and small characters the author does a deep exercise of reflection on the conditions and historical circumstances of the legal and institutional framework of the official archeology of the first 17 years of Franco's dictatorship. The research falls into the stream of thought and civil action over the "recovery of historical memory" starring the grandchildren of the civil war (1936-1939) and the European historiographical trends that reflect on archaeological practice in Nazi Germany and the occupied territories in the period of World War II (1) .

Before the War: An Archaeology influenced by the German school

The main thesis the author succeeds in showing is that the theoretical and scientific practice of archaeological finds in Spain after the war will be the same the practice prior to 1936. An archeology indebted to the German school since the early twentieth century, embodied in a bourgeoisie formed mainly in that country, like the vast majority of the intellectuals of the so-called "generation 14 " (2) , a circumstance which would prove contrary to the position in favor of the allies of this group (3) . Despite the deep ideological differences, despite the conflict that broke the country, families, individuals and the central characters in this book (which could well be the documentary material of a historical novel or film), after the parenthesis of the book under review (1939-1956), academic continuity with the prewar period is the norm.

Falangist Bracket (1939-1956)

What was, then, this parentheses? In practice, very personal and authoritarian Falangist an archaeologist and Nazi affiliation, Julio Martinez Santa Olalla, son of a general friend of the leader, which will use the English postwar years of reconstruction and at all levels, during the joint war that takes place in the world war and immediately after the war, to rebuild the institutional and legal framework, the network of inspectors and resumption of archaeological excavations.
Himler
J. Martinez Santa Olalla with

To meet its goal of cutting institute an archeology Falangist to serve the regime, Julio Martinez Santa Olalla was mainly based on three pillars: first communion with the Nazi ideology that led to a personal relationship with Himmler, head of the SS and the S tudiengesellschaft Geistesurgeschichte für Deutsches Ahnenerbe eV (4) , known as Das Ahnenerbe , secondly, his personal position directly related to the Franco regime and, and, finally, the official position global conflict against the English, collaborators with the Axis powers at first and more "neutral" as the end of the war was leaning on the side of the Allies.


But
had three great enemies that would disrupt his claims: first he, his authoritarian and resented the academy managed to stand against the vast majority of academic archaeologists and secondly, the international situation after Yalta and the Cold War that made the Western powers to direct their gaze to a country not initially accepted in the United Nations within its pro-Axis fascist regime, a country containing the expansion Communist in the world, and, thirdly and lastly, the group of the academy, made essentially the same liberal tradition of German science itself Santa Olalla, not seen with good eyes and interventional maximalist vision of a bureaucratic state as claimed by Santa Olalla, in imitation of "ancestral heritage" .

Some formal reservations

The work is indispensable for understanding the origin of archeology practiced in Franco's Spain after the immediate post-war isolation, or even to the most recent. Appreciate a work of this size defect that is less formal. The author succeeds in giving us an absolutely convincing the ideological context and staff of actors, power struggles, the reasons for decisions between different racks of archeology responsible for Franco, thanks to the massive documentation consulted (bequests, correspondence, public records and personal ...) wide and correctly referenced in the chapter "Documentary Sources." We miss, however, a further reference in the text of all these documents you may have done more heavy reading it (perhaps the reason that led the author to choose the final edited form, but it could be solved with a appointment system at the end of each chapter) but avoid the feeling read a "story" without argumentation and critical apparatus to which we are accustomed. Moreover, devoid of it, and only with the help of the final list "Documentary Sources" grouped by chapter, it is impossible to attribute to one or other documents many of the statements, writings, letters or documents incorporated into the main text. Making it difficult, then, refer back to the originals in the case of a continuation of this research, which not only desirable but necessary. In the same order of observations, some of the huge subsidies listings agreed excavation could have been included as appendices at the end of the volume. However, everything would have been advisable to properly announce that Chapter 7 is the copying of an article by the same author appeared 6 years ago (5) . It is this chapter which makes it impossible to read with their own eyes the two volumes are indispensable on the other hand, on Ampurias Cemetery (6) .

archaeological historiography Franco

However, in the opinion of the writer of these lines, the greatest shortcoming of the book is largely a historiographical vision. The ideological context, the personal story and well defined institutional lap, but despite developed and demonstrated the continuity of F. Gracia, would have required the correlation of all with the historiography and literature production of the protagonists. It is likely that the author in Spain on this subject has preferred to leave to further study the consequences of the ideological literature or theoretical approaches of different authors, but it seems difficult to accept that they can not appreciate differences and nuances in the writing P. Gimpera Bosch, M. Almagro Basch and J. Martinez Santa Olalla (fruit in the same environment and education) attributable to the social, political biographies that passed. Nothing it is said, for example, of historicism which was then immersed archeology, intimately connected to current diffusionist of anthropology. Relationships that would perhaps more understandable that the only international support of the fascist Santa Olalla was that of Marxist V. Gordon Childe. Nor is it clear, although some day be worth a try, which could be understood with the help of historiographical analysis that the only vision of globalizing interpretation given so far, as was the Historicism, alternative practiced by the English school of archeology of the early twentieth century due to its elite filogermanismo intellectuals find their echoes in other holistic vision as were the performances of Gordon Childe and proposals concerning the relationship between technology and civilization, and especially his work on the Aryan (7) .

historiographic depth analysis of the production of archeology Franco probably show that the recurrent themes of Santa Olalla (the Visigoths Hispanics as evidence of the ancient relationship of Spain and Germany and the Germanic expansion outside its original geographical focus and Canarian Guanches as descendants of the Aryans of Atlantis disappeared) were shamelessly Das subordinate Ahneberbe, unlike the head archaeologist of B. Mussolini, Luigi Maria Ugolini, whose investigations sought to legitimize hegemony retrotraía Trans that the Roman imperial past. In that sense it is very clear that the role of SS archaeological institution was none other than to provide " performants outils au service d'une Idéologie very precise ... racial propaganda, exploitation Coloniale des pays conquered ... " (8) as not only is well illustrated in sympathy Santa Olalla dispensed by Himmler himself, but also in the unfortunate scene that the visit waiting the head of the SS in the excavations of the necropolis Visigothic Castiltierra (Segovia), archaeologists are racing to find farmers to show high or blond hic et nunc racial continuity of the Visigoths.

A necessary book

In any case, it is striking that the more national (ist) of the human sciences, the field of science and scientists, along with biology and biologists, most contributed to the legitimization and scientific research of the Third Reich that more regulation is required to practice by the State. It remains remarkable that both the legitimate government of the Second Republic and authorities in the conflict areas where archaeological heritage could be compromised and then Franco governments (at least lip service) shall apply with commitment and dedication to the protection of archaeological remains. Putting in evidence, for example, explicit recognition of archaeological activity in the Republic or Bosch Gimpera by Santa Olalla. Or, by implication, in the continuity of M. Almagro of activity initiated by Bosch in Ampurias before the race and his rise as a national benchmark abroad, which will be worth the chair of the University of Madrid.

Similarly, legal supplies, regulatory and institutional changes that begin to start early in the century (inventory, research, emergency operations, restoration, publication, dissemination ...) administrations of both sign are those who have remained in force in models of strong state intervention until the emergence in the last twenty years of neo-liberalism and so-called liberal archeology. The radical claims of Santa Eulalia on the ineffectiveness of unpublished excavation or without restoring the secured property, or the budgeting unnecessary if the excavation on archaeological activity did not arise and put the resulting publications in value, are now filled with a disturbing. Uncertainty that can only be understood in the context of "une science au service des masses, et contrôlée par fortemente subventionnée totalitaire l'État" (9) . Not for nothing Santa Olalla branded his opponents with contempt of the Academy of "liberal": the royal Marquis de Lozoya, the then Director of Fine Arts and head higher in the administrative ranks, Martin Almagro Basch originating from a wealthy family Aragon and liberalism of his former teacher confessed P. Bosch Gimpera positions will be making its way through the system was changing as international context.

archeology "That will be the weather in Spain during the economic boom and the liberal developmentalism Opus Dei? Another book by F. Grace or its students could answer the question. Not surprisingly, the resistance of archeology from the final moments of Franco and the first years of democracy reacted against an officer without archaeological resources and the accumulation of positive data solely from the excavation (on the most decadent of Hstoricismo German court) accepting the influences of neo-evolutionism leftist White Anglo-Saxon origin or JH Steward, accepting the tenets Environmentalists and moving the object of interest of the site, the site, information site off, and the consequent increased use of exploration as a source of knowledge in understanding the implementation of the companies in the physical environment.

is therefore a necessary book. Required for English archaeologists can thus know the birth of their discipline and its protagonists. Necessary for the citizen who, through the example of a science and administrative practice of this in jeopardy by the interference of the (10) , you can see how it came about "transition" through the cleaning of even the janitors of museums according to police reports detailing the ideological filias as union membership prior to the war.

Sometimes, the generation of grandchildren of the war we have tried to show the softer side and liberal of the Franco regime. This softer side is to be reborn with history projects where issues are channeled through projects like the magazine publishing revisionist Old Stories Iberia special place where the issues are already of interest to Santa Olalla. Books like this give the lie without dogmatism that friendly face.

WHAT WAS ... THE LADY OF THE Boatella?

Josep Vicent Lerma
Levante-EMV, November 23, 2008

More than one and a half since the discovery of extensive media coverage during those early Ides of March of this Figure notable local ancient sculpture in the course of excavations conducted by the archaeologist private companies Herreros Tina in the tangle of old streets near the Central Market, released on time in these pages "is a statue of Roman imperial times and a meter high in the heart of Valencia (Levante-EMV 28/03/2007) and a neat photo essay of Josep Manel Vert at number 26 in the journal Valentia, little else has become known to the aptly titled "Lady of the Boatella" in honor of primordial Boaler or pasture for grazing herds of cattle, "bovata" and "bovatella" M. Sanchis Guarner dixit of the ancient city of Valencia, a place that held a vast necropolis between II and VII centuries of the Common Era and many years later, a populous suburb Islamic, mimicking the famous Iberian bust of Alcudia de Elche derisively dubbed the "Lady of Paterna, a helmeted warrior's head painted in green and manganese on a plate XIV century. Just as it has not leaked to the public from any academic progress then it is known in terms of new research on iconography as his final assignment of the seven Muses or any of the many female deities Latinas.

Except for the indicator species

Deity to which one of the citizens "Valentini " Titus Rubrius Restitutus and expense devoted to an altar or pedestal to the late first century AD in the privileged forum demarcation of the colony.

In this vein, it is worth remembering that this unknown white marble effigy, whose leg extended right hand serves as a support while flexing Gently contrary, paradoxically beheaded by historical misfortunes, thanks to the good quality of her sophisticated dress styles, a sort of peplum "with Cingular on multiple vertical pleats tunic, and carved using a technique aimed at first similar to that of "wet wipes" over a hundred years after the pioneering discovery during construction of the road opening for Peace in 1899 with an interesting marble torso of an athlete, might be one of the best finds ever made Roman sculpture in the basement of our Mediterranean city.

excellence is precisely this somewhat higher than the general provincial lapidary workshop of our geographic area which has led us to investigate the extent of our abilities among potential models of this arcane Hellenistic inspiring lady valentina, which could be referred on the basis of the peculiar breasted their sleeves to the refined terse Fortuna-Tyche of the second century AD Archaeological Museum of Istanbul from the remote ad Hypium Prusias (Turkey).

Finally and as a corollary, not to get out of fashion, we also vows to the gods, in this case to their own fortune, for the Lady unearthed Boatella not end fast the eyes of the Valencian as the mosaic of the Seven Muses Pouaig de Montcada, wickedly withdrawn from public exhibition halls of the Museum of Fine Arts San Pio V "or perhaps turned into a recurring" remake "of hackneyed and artificial stone Augusto Caesaraugusta Forum speaker (Zaragoza) for the sake of new technologies, with touches of fairground attraction.
