Protestantes, curanderos y descreídos. Misiones interiores, religiosidad nacional-católica e intolerancia durante el primer franquismo, 1940-1960 by Francisco Bernal García

“…In this sense, they can be interpreted as manifestations of religious intolerance and as instruments of pressure on those social groups that did no fit in with the National-Catholic ideal of Spanishness. This article explores this interpretation by analysing three aspects of the missionaries’ actions: their efforts to harass Protestant communities; their struggles against quackery and other manifestations of the «common religion»; and the pressures they exerted against those who claimed to have no religious beliefs of any kind.…”

Extensions of rational modules by J. Cuadra

“…For a coalgebra C, the rational functor Rat (−):ℳC∗→ℳC∗ is a left exact preradical whose associated linear topology is the family ℱC, consisting of all closed and cofinite right ideals of C∗. It was proved by Radford (1973) that if C is right ℱ-Noetherian (which means that every I∈ℱC is finitely generated), then Rat (−) is a radical. …”

The Island in R. L. Stevenson’s The Beach of Falesá: Confluence(s) as Subversion by Julie Gay

“…It first examines, at the diegetic level, the cultural, religious and linguistic confluences that are characteristic of the island, and how they potentially question the imperialistic ideal. Then, the article highlights the spatio-temporal duality of the island by highlighting its liminality, and the generic hybridity it leads to, as the novella oscillates between realism, romance and the fantastic, among others. …”

Residential special education, market forces and integration: caught between a rock and hard place? by Robin Jackson

“…Market forces received an enormous boost, 'for-profit' organisations became increasingly active, notions of 'best value' became increasingly relevant within funding formulae, and users of services were more likely to be involved in decision making (Knapp and Kavanagh, 1995). Market ideals as a key principle of public service provision continued to be an acceptable feature of the neoliberal agenda pursued by New Labour. …”

Collaboratively mapping alternative economies by Adrien Labaeye

“…The paper draws from an inventory of over 200 maps, action research, and semi-structured interviews to explore how collaborative mapping – a practice that is largely citizen-driven – may be leveraged for the co-production of (scientific) knowledge about alternative economies.
