“…The aim of this article is to examine the view of these Spanish volunteers in the Allied and Germanophile press from a comparative perspective, in order to observe the different resources and strategies deployed to praise or denigrate the phenomenon of voluntary service, an entelechy of the timid Spanish interventionism and a phenomenon in which the Allied groups placed their desire for foreign projection.

“…Motivated by the desire to use ecological engineering methods and of offering city dwellers a variety of green spaces ranging from the traditional sophisticated garden to “wild” open spaces, the directors of municipal parks and green spaces have experimented with what is called in France “La gestion différenciée” or “the differentiated management” of green spaces.Parallel with this essentially technical approach, the evolution of the idea of “urban nature”, demanded by the directors of municipal parks and green spaces, brought about the creation of alternative public parks, whose image and use refer strongly to the pastoral and “the wild”.This study investigates the physical and symbolic construction of this new type of nature, in particular with the example of the design and the social representations of the “Parc Méric” in Montpellier, a former bourgeois rural estate. …”
