Territorios rurales en transformación: desafíos y oportunidades frente al reto de la despoblación by Néstor Vercher

“…Esta localidad, como muchas otras en el interior peninsular, encarna la tensión entre el peso de su patrimonio y la necesidad de adaptación a nuevas dinámicas. El castillo medieval que domina el núcleo urbano –cuyo origen se remonta a la conquista romana (Castellum Fabio)– y la iglesia del siglo XVII representan un legado histórico de gran valor, pero este patrimonio convive con una economía tradicional que, cuando menos, afronta serias dificultades. …”

TO THE BASICS OF MODERN POLITICAL ANTHROPOLOGY: FREEDOM AND JUSTICE IN THE SOCIAL CONTRACT THEORY OF T. HOBBES by L. A. Sytnichenko, D. V. Usov

“…The principle of social contract offered by Hobbes became a new social, methodologically significant and relevant principle of regulation of activity, which indicates essential for the modern political philosophy and the philosophy of law transition from teleological (ancient and medieval) to legal (modern) ideas of justice. For an in-depth study of the philosophical and anthropological aspects of Hobbes’s contractualism, we used the historical-comparative and contextualization method, as well as the works of leading native and foreign researchers of Hobbes, who uphold the provisions on the organic affiliation of fundamental socio-philosophical and philosophical-anthropological questions about the nature of man, the relation of coercion, freedom and justice with the discourse of social contract. …”

Les siphons en terre cuite du monde romain : l’exemple de l’aqueduc d’Almuñécar (Andalousie, Espagne) by Elena H. Sánchez López

“…From the analysis of this structure, both through archaeological remains and medieval descriptions of the city, we can conclude that the siphon system had two remarkable technical peculiarities: it was a double siphon, where the two sections connected through a columnaria, an air elimination device located at the most problematic point in the layout of the water piping; and the pressure pipes were made of terracotta.The chosen material matched the recommendations made by Vitruvius, since he concluded that, by comparison with lead pipes, terracotta pipes were cheaper, faster to repair, and guaranteed higher quality water.Despite Vitruvius’ advice, terracotta pipes do not seem to have been the favourite choice of Roman engineers, who also used lead and stone pipes. …”

EVOLUTION OF THE PHENOMENON OF CITIZENSHIP IN THE CONTEXT OF HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE WESTERN EUROPE by L. Y. Maximova

“…The first cycle - Antiquity, the second cycle - the Medieval Ages and the New Time. For each of them there are some characteristic vectors of development: liberation from dependence (slavish, feudal); Inclusion of ever wider layers of the population in citizenship (the evolution of the phenomenon from elitist to mass); reduction and complete rejection of property requirements for inclusion in citizenship; reduction of active participation of citizens in government; alienation of a citizen from the state, formalization of relations between a citizen and the state. …”

“The Road of War” and “The Path of Peace”: William Morris’s Representation of Violence by Eleonora Sasso

“…But my central purpose will be to re-read such writings as primitive forms of medievalism in a Freudian perspective. I will reflect on the conflict between the life instinct—Eros—and the death instinct—Thanatos—, and interpret the violence shown by Morrisean proper men of war as “an outpouring of innate aggressiveness”, one which introduces man’s failure of restraining his instinctual motives, reminding us that the principal task of civilization is to “defend us against nature”. …”
