Auch in der Schweiz, die im Laufe des Kalten Krieges ihre Beziehungen zu einem nicht mehr and then umstrittenen Land konsolidiert hatte, begannen sich regimekritische Gruppen zu kristallisieren. Linke Kreise gründeten bereits 1961 das „Schweizerische Komitee für politische Amnestie in Spanien". Ab 1968 gesellten sich Elemente der Neuen Linken dem antifranquistischen Protest hinzu. Selbst in der Berichterstattung im Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen lässt sich ein Engagement gegen die Repression in Spanien feststellen. Die Beurteilung des Regimes war indes keineswegs einstimmig. Bürgerliche und rechtskonservative Blätter machten keinen Hehl aus ihrer Bewunderung für General Franco. Sein Tod im November 1975 und Juan Carlos' Inthronisation stellen eine Zäsur dar, die eine Phase der Hoffnung auf eine untraumatische Demokratisierung und Europäisierung des Landes einleitet.

The Napoleonic experience underscored this trend, which was later maintained during the wars of independence in Latin America. Starting from the assumption that dictatorship has its own history within the nineteenth century, divide from the ancient Roman image and twentieth-century totalitarianism, this book aims at establishing a dialogue between the concepts of dictatorship and the experiences and transfer of knowledge betwixt Latin America and Europe during this menses.

History could thus no longer provide lessons for a deeply uncertain present after the French Revolution. Dictator and dictatorship are examples of terms in this dramatic reconfiguration that were rescued from an intellectual register and so used for political purposes. Meanwhile, it was in independent Spanish America that these terms and the reality behind them experienced a renaissance, though under particular circumstances conditioned by the cosmos of new states. This article discusses two Latin American dictators, José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, supreme dictator of Paraguay (1814–40), and Juan Manuel de Rosas, governor of Buenos Aires (1829–32 and 1835–52), from the bespeak of view
of historia magistra vitae. Based on sources that include travelogues, pamphlets, and political essays, it aims to empathise the persisting or fading relevance of the topos for the explanation of these authoritarian rulers past contemporaries.

A causa de un atentado fallido contra el Supremo Dictador José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, fueron obligados a permanecer allí hasta 1825. Las experiencias darían lugar al Ensayo histórico sobre la revolución del Paraguay. Consciente de la peculiaridad de la dictadura como forma de gobierno a principios del siglo XIX y de la mayor importancia de los sentimientos en esa misma época, el artículo pretende analizar el ensayo desde el punto de vista de las emociones. Más allá de la dicotomía razón-emoción, los sentimientos expresados (miedo, honor, añoranza, etc.) y el régimen emocional que se evidencia en el texto legitiman o desacreditan al dictador.

This was due to the government'south intention to appoint the Hegelian theologian David Friedrich Strauß to the chair of dogmatics at the University of Zurich against the volition of the Church authorities. Representatives of the Church and conservative politicians had founded a Central Commission in order to channel the protest against the political leaders' intentions. In addition, the rebellion was triggered off by the rumour that the authorities was about to mobilise foreign troops to maintain club. Due to the conservative grapheme of the „Züriputsch", as this upshot went downwardly in history, Swiss historiography denied it a sort of revolutionary dignity and stigmatised it to a big extent. Instead the negatively connoted term „Putsch" took root in the High german-speaking world and beyond. The present article aims at analysing the publications in the aftermath of the event, from the point of view of historical semantics. It considers the terms used to describe the events in Zurich, also as the independent career of the term „Putsch" with respect to the German Revolution of 1848/49. Finally, some observations on the metahistorical narratives are fabricated.

September 1839 zog eine Menschenmenge von ungefähr 5000 Mann vom Zürcher Oberland in die Stadt Zürich ein und stürzte die radikal-liberale Kantonsregierung. Der Grund für diese Umwälzung fußt im Versuch seitens des Erziehungsrates, den hegelianischen Theologen David Friedrich Strauß gegen den Willen der Kirchenbehörde auf den Lehrstuhl für Dogmatik der Universität Zürich zu berufen. Das ad hoc gegründete Zentralkomitee bestehend aus Vertretern der Kirche und konservativen Politikern kanalisierte den Widerstand gegen diese regierungsrätlichen Bestrebungen. Der Auslöser für den Aufstand war letztlich das Gerücht, die Regierung habe fremde Truppen zur Wahrung der Ordnung aufgeboten. Aufgrund des konservativen Charakters des als „Züriputsch" in die Geschichte eingegangenen Ereignisses verwehrte die Schweizer Historiographie diesem eine revolutionäre Würde und stigmatisierte es weitgehend. Im Gegenzug etablierte sich das negativ konnotierte Wort „Putsch" auch außerha...

For case, Eugène Delacroix' 1824 sail The Massacre at Chios might be considered the nigh iconic piece of work dealing with this topic. French writer Alexandre Dumas (the elderberry) who witnessed the exhibition of that painting stated in his memories how strong and multifaceted the commitment for the Greek cause was. Some decades afterwards, Dumas himself was impacted by another struggle: the Not bad Siege of Montevideo by the governor of Buenos Aires and dictator, Juan Manuel de Rosas (1793–1877). In his pamphlet-similar novel Montevideo or The New Troy (1850), Dumas took the cudgels against Rosas and his tyrannical regime. Anti-rosist texts written past Argentine dissidents and echoed by Europeans described the most atrocious crimes perpetrated by the governor's thugs, in order to inculcate feelings of horror, antipathy towards the dictator and his supporters and sympathy for the victims. Newspapers based for instance in Montevideo printed engravings with caricatures, allegories and macabre scenes of everyday life in Buenos Aires under Rosas' rule.
Based on Ute Frevert'due south recent works on empathy, particularly during nineteenth century conservative sentimentalism, the purpose of this paper is to focus on the 'dark iconography' of the Argentine dictator Rosas in a twofold way. On one side, it aims at studying the letters of brutality, cruelty and arbitrariness transmitted past means of engravings, drawings, paintings etc. and of a particular iconographic repertoire. On the other side, it aims at studying textual references to that iconography containing interpretations and claims, and appealing to particular emotions against the groundwork of humanitarian sensibility (fear, horror, rage, indignation, compassion etc.) in order to achieve a particular activeness (fundraising in favour of the sieged, military anti-rosist support, diplomatic actions).

November 1847 fiel der Soldat Rudolf Meyer im Gefecht bei Meierskappel (Kanton Luzern) zwischen den Truppen des konservativen Sonderbundes und jenen der liberalen Kantone, denen er angehörte. Eine im Apr des Folgejahres an der Nordfassade der evangelisch-reformierten Kirche in Altstetten (heute Teil der Stadt Zürich) angelegte Grabstele ziert die letzte Ruhestätte des 23jährigen Gefallenen.
Dice kurze Dauer des Sonderbundskrieges, der rund drei Wochen dauerte, und dice relativ geringe Anzahl Opfer auf beiden Seiten (rund 100 Gefallene und 300 Verletzte) haben in der Schweizer Historiographie den Mythos des „unblutigen Bruderzwistes" geprägt. Noch extremer ist der Befund Philipp Sarasins von 1998, wenn er schreibt: „[D]er Sonderbundskrieg wurde zwar von der Geschichtsschreibung untersucht, aber es gibt keine öffentliche Erinnerung an ihn." Daniel Osterwalder nennt den Bürgerkrieg sogar einen „Non-lieu de mémoire" in Anlehnung an Pierre Noras Theorie.
In der Tat standen Denkmäler, Rituale und Gedenkfeiern für Gefallene des Krieges den Siegern im Wege. Der neue liberale Bundesstaat von 1848 sollte – zumindest offiziell – auf Versöhnung und Eintracht aufbauen. Bereits General Guillaume Henri Dufour, der Oberbefehlshaber der eidgenössischen Truppen, hatte zu Beginn des Feldzuges seine Offiziere dazu ermahnt, aus dem Kampf nicht nur siegreich, sondern auch ohne Tadel und unnötiges Blutvergiessen hervorzugehen.
Es zeichnet sich anhand dieser Betrachtungen eine Krise im mehrdeutigen Sinn ab. Dice Gründung des Sonderbundes von 1845 als abtrünnige Schutzvereinigung katholisch-konservativer Kantone gegen den antiklerikalen und radikalen Kurs der liberalen Kantone stellt die politische Dimension von Krise mit ihrem dramatischen Höhepunkt in der kriegerischen Auseinandersetzung dar. Der Tod auf dem Schlachtfeld oder zeitlich verzögert als Folge von Verletzungen steht für die gewaltsame, irreversible und einschneidende Course der Krise. Der Umgang mit dem Tod in Form von Erinnerung und sinnstiftender Gedenkrituale im lokalen Kreis der Familie oder der Gemeinde gerade im Spannungsfeld mit dem staatsgründenden Narrativ der Einigkeit suggeriert eine weitere Krise, zu der eine emotionale und persönliche Komponente hinzukommt.
Der enge zeitliche und räumliche Rahmen, d.h. dice Überschaubarkeit des Sonderbundskrieges erlauben eine „Geschichtsschreibung der minderen Themen" (Carlo Ginzburg) oder die Rekonstruktion eines „gewöhnlichen Lebens" (Alain Corbin), das plötzlich und gewaltsam beendet wird. Diese steht diametral zur Anonymität der grossen Kriege ab der zweiten Hälfte des xix. Jahrhunderts mit den „Ehrenmäler[northward] und Gräber[n] der Unbekannten Soldaten" (Benedict Anderson). Am Beispiel des Soldaten Rudolf Meyer, gestützt auf archivalische Quellen und Zeitzeugenberichte (z.B. von Feldpredigern) soll eine Annäherung an dessen Leben, Tod und Gedenken vollzogen werden. Das Augenmerk soll auf die Bedeutung des von der Gemeinde gestifteten Monumentes und der damit verbundenen Gedenkpraxis als Umgang mit der Krise gesetzt werden, wofür auch Beispiele anderer zeitgenössischer Soldatenmonumente herangezogen werden sollen. Methodisch schöpft der Beitrag aus der Ikonographie sowie der quantitativen und qualitativen Auswertung von Textquellen. Er ist auch als Auftakt für ein grösseres Projekt über Tod, Erinnerung, Überwindung und Gedenken an die Gefallenen auf beiden Lagern des Sonderbundskrieges gedacht.

Ins... more The early on nineteenth century is mostly considered the epoch of America'due south second discovery. Inspired by Alexander von Humboldt merchants, travellers, scientists and adventurers travelled through Latin America with different purposes. They wrote downwards their experiences as travel reports which were avidly read in Europe. These documents were not only supposed to provide mere entertainment or cognition nearly local customs, flora and animal simply independent sometimes historical essays on the recent past of those former colonies. In fact, those immature republics were now ruled by strong men who, in some cases, were securely inspired by the ideas of the European Enlightenment.
The 2 Swiss doctors Rengger and Longchamp (1827) praised Paraguay's dictator, Dr José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, for his notorious incorruptibility since he did not accept any presents, while the ii Scottish merchants and brothers Robertson (1838) saw in the bribery practices within the judicial organisation of many Latin American countries a "heirloom by the bigoted female parent-country to her oppressed offspring in the colonies". Nepotism, favouritism, misappropriation, blackmail or arbitrariness were witnessed by those travellers who tried to explain these phenomena in unlike means. However, these accounts are sometimes suspicious of a sure arrogance (if not even hypocrisy), particularly if their authors are citizens of a colonial empire (UK and French republic).
This raises the questions on the narratives of corruption, how they were built, what moral lens and what patterns of explanation were used. What historical models were used as a comparison? What solutions are suggested to prevent abuse? These are some of the questions my newspaper aims at answering. In doing so it provides insight into the narratives and the imagery of corruption rather than an bodily, 'forensic' archive-based research on item abuse cases.
Although the paper is set in early postcolonial Spanish America the focus on corruption might show that the independence even so had to bargain with old burdens the new assistants could not deal with.

A través de Tele-revista se pretendía mantener el enlace de los españoles y españolas con su país de origen, informarles sobre temas de derecho laboral, sobre actividades culturales y sobre el desarrollo político en España.
La cultura y el turismo, en su sentido más amplio, tuvieron un papel importante a lo largo de la historia del programa que no se suprimió hasta después del año 2000. Ya desde sus albores no faltaron imágenes turísticas dirigidas a grandes públicos y referencias a puestas en escena de teatro, exposiciones y conciertos en Suiza. El papel de estas últimas fue marcadamente reivindicativo, dispuesto a romper con el anterior régimen político, como se puede deducir por las referencias a funciones de obras de Federico García Lorca o Salvador Távora, a exposiciones de Pablo Picasso o de artistas pertenecientes al Equipo 57. Las informaciones sobre el turismo, en cambio, provenían a menudo directamente de medios españoles y resultaban claramente propagandísticas y favorables a la política turística franquista.
En nuestra aportación pretendemos enfocar el significado de reportajes y noticias relacionadas con la cultura y el turismo en Tele-revista, durante los últimos años del franquismo.

November 1847 wütete in der Schweiz ein Bürgerkrieg, bei dem dice liberale Mehrheit der Kantone gegen den Sonderbund katholisch-konservativer Kantone kämpfte und diesen schließlich besiegte. Die kurze Dauer und die relativ geringe Anzahl Opfer auf beiden Seiten haben in der Schweizer Historiographie den Mythos des „unblutigen Bruderzwistes" geprägt. Am 23. November 1847 fiel der Soldat Rudolf Meyer im Gefecht bei Meierskappel (Kanton Luzern). Eine im April des Folgejahres an der Nordfassade der evangelisch-reformierten Kirche in Altstetten (heute Teil der Stadt Zürich) angelegte Grabstele ziert die letzte Ruhestätte des 23jährigen Gefallenen.
Denkmäler, Rituale und Gedenkfeiern für Gefallene des Krieges dürften den Siegern im Wege gestanden haben. Der neue liberale Bundesstaat von 1848 sollte auf Versöhnung und Eintracht aufbauen. Am Beispiel Meyers, gestützt auf archivalische Quellen und Zeitzeugenberichte, soll eine Annäherung an dessen Leben, Tod und Gedenken vollzogen werden. Das Augenmerk liegt dabei auf der Bedeutung des von der Gemeinde gestifteten Monumentes und der damit verbundenen Gedenkpraxis, als Umgang mit der ‚Krise' in mehrdeutigem Sinn. Vergleichend sollen auch Beispiele anderer zeitgenössischer Soldatenmonumente herangezogen werden.

The dictatorship answered with exceptional ruthlessness to the claims of the Castilian working form. The annunciation of the country of exception in early 1969, the armed forces trial of Burgosin December 1970, the executions in 1974 and 1975 bear witness this dramatic development. While scholars have mainly studied the perception of Francoism and the Spanish transition in the press, electronic media (cinema, radio, and TV) accept largely been neglected, with some exceptions.Of particular interest is the assay of those foreign media settled in countries whose relation with the Spanish regime was particularly strong. Nether this perspective, the Swiss TV news might provide an outstanding example. While the Swiss Confederation maintained very good
relations with Espana(immigration, trade and investments)and masses of Swiss tourists spent their holidays in Spain, the TV newsreel began in the late 1960s to report the repressive policies in the caudillo's state.This newspaper purposes to analyze the handling of Spanish news past the Swiss TV newsreel considering dissimilar repressive events between 1969 and 1975.

Nevertheless, the mediatization of the assassination try or its treatment in images and audiovisual media has been widely neglected. Starting from a triptych applicative to 19th century tyrannicides and articulated by the assassination performance, the perpetrator'south arrest and, finally, his penalization, we aim at verifying to what extent this model fits into 20th-century assassination attempts. For this reason, three key assassinations will be considered. First, the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria, in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914, perpetrated past Serbian nationalists, and which would pb to WWI. Second, the failed attempt on 20 July 1944 confronting Adolf Hitler in the Wolfsschanze; a plot in which many high rank officers of the Wehrmacht were involved. As third example, nosotros will focus on John F. Kennedy'south bump-off in
Dallas, on 22 November 1963, reputed to Lee H. Oswald.

Während LeserInnen und ZuschauerInnen solche Nachrichten mit großer emotionaler Anspannung zur Kenntnis nehmen, bilden diese Daten in den Händen von ExpertInnen die Inputs, mit denen mathematische Modelle eingespeist werden, um einen bestimmten Verlauf vorauszusagen. Diesen anonymen Zahlen liegen implizit Mind von Verstorbenen mit Namen, Vornamen, Geburtsdatum und anderen Informationen zugrunde; Listen die aus Datenschutzgründen nicht für dice Öffentlichkeit bestimmt sind.
In der frühen Neuzeit wurden Todeszahlen öffentlich ausgehängt, wie etwa in Form der Bills of bloodshed während der Londoner Keen Plague von 1665/66. Doch auch Opfer politischer Gewalt wurden in geordneter Weise publik gemacht, etwa um die Grausamkeit eines Regimes anzuprangern, wie es der Journalist Louis-Marie Prudhomme kurz nach der französischen Schreckensherrschaft (1793/94) tat. Das 19. Jahrhundert rekurrierte auf die (manchmal in Stein gemeißelten) Listen gefallener Soldaten, um deren heroisches Opfer zu verewigen; eine Darstellungsform, die sich bis in die Gegenwart erstreckt. Die schwarzen Listen, in welcher RegimegegnerInnen aufgeführt werden, stellen die bürokratische Seite des Staatsterrors dar. Ob Opfer von Genoziden, Attentaten, Ermordungen, häuslicher Gewalt, Unfällen, Naturkatastrophen oder Pandemien, Mind sind nie ‚unschuldig'; sie verfolgen immer gewisse Absichten. Dies wirft die Frage nach den AkteurInnen auf, die bestimmen, welche Kriterien gelten oder wer (willkürlich) nicht erfasst wird. Denn wenn die Gefallenen auf dem ‚Altar des Vaterlandes' denselben ehren, so konterkariert eine hohe Suizidrate ebendiese Ehre.

Während sich Listen in ein Foucaultsches Verständnis von Ordnung einschreiben, haben sie bei Umberto Eco (Dice unendliche Liste) oder Sabine Mainberger (Die Kunst des Aufzählens) schon fast den Condition eines eigenständigen Literaturgenres. Spätestens hier erfahren wir die Wandelbarkeit der Listen im Spannungsfeld zwischen Trauerbekundung, Statistik, Krisenmanagement und Erinnerung.
Der geplante Sammelband soll Beiträge von Geistes-, Kultur- und SozialwissenschaftlerInnen aller Richtungen enthalten. Der zeitliche Rahmen erstreckt sich von der Frühen Neuzeit bis zur Gegenwart. Erwünscht sind etwa Beiträge zu, aber nicht beschränkt auf:
- Totenlisten als Folgen von Epidemien, Naturkatastrophen, Unfällen etc.
- Listen von Gewaltopfern
- Listen von Drogentoten
- Opfern von Serienmorden
- Gefallenenlisten
- Totenlisten in Gedenkpraktiken
- Geschichte von Todesstatistiken, Suizid- und Homizidraten
- Darstellung von seriellem Sterben in bildender Kunst, Moving-picture show und Literatur
Die Beiträge sollen sich möglichst mit dem Begriff der Bureau auseinandersetzen und folgende Fragestellungen thematisieren:
- Wer erstellt die Liste/Statistik? Wer bestimmt die Kriterien?
- Was bezweckt dice Liste/Statistik?
- Welche Hierarchie lässt sich allenfalls in der Liste/Statistik erkennen?
- Wer wird von der Liste/Statistik ausgeschlossen und wieso?
- Welche Verwendung hat dice Liste/Statistik?
- Welchen Parametern liegen die Listen/Statistiken zugrunde?
Erwünscht sind ein Exposé von maximal 400 Wörtern und eine biografische Notiz von ca. 50 Wörtern elektronisch an moises.prieto@hist.unibe.ch bis spätestens 12. April 2021. Angestrebt wird ein Sammelband in der Reihe Tod und Bureau im Böhlau Verlag.

While readers and viewers perceive such news emotionally, these information go the inputs with which mathematical models are fed in order to predict a certain grade of events. These anonymous numbers are implicitly based on lists of deceased people with names, dates of birth and other information; nominal lists that are not intended for the public for reasons of information protection.
In the early modern menstruation, statistical data on the dead were publicly posted, equally in the form of the Bills of mortality during the Corking Plague of London 1665/66. But victims of political violence were besides publicised in an orderly way, for example to denounce the cruelty of a regime, as the journalist Louis-Marie Prudhomme did shortly later the Reign of Terror in France (1793/94).
In the nineteenth century, the lists of fallen soldiers (sometimes carved in rock) were used to immortalise their heroic sacrifice; a grade of representation that continues to the nowadays day. The blacklists, in which opponents of the government are listed, represent the bureaucratic side of land terror. Whether victims of genocides, assassinations, murders, domestic violence, accidents, natural disasters or pandemics, lists are never 'innocent'; they always pursue certain intentions. This raises the question of the actors who determine which criteria apply or who is (arbitrarily) not included. For if the fallen on the 'altar of the fatherland' honour the same, a high suicide charge per unit counteracts this very honour.

While lists may exist located in a Foucauldian understanding of order, they almost have the status of an independent literary genre co-ordinate to Umberto Eco (The Infinity of Lists) or Sabine Mainberger (Die Kunst des Aufzählens). Hence, we tin can experience the mutability of lists between mourning, statistics, crisis management and memory.
The planned commonage volume shall contain contributions from scholars in the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences. The time frame ranges from the early modern period to the present. Contributions are requested on the post-obit topics, merely not express to:
- Death lists as a result of epidemics, natural disasters, accidents etc.
- Lists of victims of violence
- Lists of drug fatalities
- Lists of victims of serial murders
- Casualties lists (military)
- Lists of dead in commemorative practices
- History of mortality statistics, suicide and homicide rates
- Representation of serial dying in visual art, motion-picture show and literature
The contributions should preferably deal with the concept of agency and address the post-obit questions:
- Who does compile the list/statistics? Who does decide the criteria?
- What is the purpose of the listing/statistics?
- What hierarchy, if whatever, tin can exist discerned in the listing/statistics?
- Who is excluded from the list/statistics and why?
- What is the utilise of the list/statistics?
- Which parameters are the lists/statistics based on?

The symposium will bargain with the following questions:

1. Conceptualizatons of Nineteenth-Century Dictatorship
How practise the concepts of "dictator" and "dictatorship" develop along the nineteenth century? To what extent do they serve equally a category of analysis? What role does the nineteenth century play for the history of dictatorship? What relevance does the Roman paradigm hold?

ii. Dictatorial Experiences during the Nineteenth Century
¿What regimes are considered dictatorships and why? ¿What factors are favourable to the genesis of a dictatorship? How are revolutionary and counterrevolutionary discourses articulated around dictatorships?

3. Transfer of Noesis on Dictatorship
Nineteenth-century revolutionary and dictatorial upheavals on both shores of the Atlantic raise the question on possible interdependences between Europe and the Americas. What kind of transfer of noesis related to dictatorship took place during this epoch? What paths and disciplines were responsible for the apportionment of this knowledge? How could this provide or detract legitimacy to a particular dictatorial regime? What emotions were mobilized and for what purpose?

El concepto de dictador, en su origen un término meramente denotativo afincado en la antigua Roma republicana, experimentó un importante auge durante la Revolución Francesa que lo rescató de united nations registro filosófico e histórico para verterlo en el lenguaje político. La fase napoleónica subrayaría adicionalmente la importancia de la dictadura, pero es sobre todo en América Latina donde a partir de las guerras de independencia hispanoamericanas ésta se convirtió en algo existent. Partiendo de la idea de que la dictadura tiene su propia historia decimonónica, dejando atrás el paradigma de la antigua Roma pero sin llegar todavía a las experiencias totalitarias del siglo Twenty, el encuentro pretende entablar un diálogo entre diferentes disciplinas como la historia, la historia del arte, la filosofía del derecho y la literatura, al igual que un diálogo entre Latinoamérica y Europa.
El simposio se organizará en torno a los siguientes planteamientos.

ane. Conceptualización de la dictadura decimonónica
¿Cómo se desarrollan los conceptos de "dictador" y "dictadura" a lo largo del siglo XIX? ¿En qué medida se pueden utilizar éstos como concepto y categoría de estudio? ¿Qué papel tiene el siglo Xix para la historia de la dictadura, considerando united nations eje que va desde sus orígenes romanos hasta los fenómenos de la historia del presente? ¿Qué importancia conserva el paradigma romano?

2. Las experiencias dictatoriales en el siglo Nineteen
¿Cuáles regímenes decimonónicos son considerados dictaduras y por qué? ¿Qué factores son favorables para la génesis de una dictadura? ¿Qué caracteriza los regímenes dictatoriales de esta época? ¿Cómo se articulan los discursos revolucionarios y contrarrevolucionarios alrededor de la dictadura?

iii. Transferencias de saberes sobre la dictadura
Los avatares revolucionarios y dictatoriales en el espacio atlántico a finales del siglo XVIII y principios del siglo XIX levantan la cuestión sobre las posibles interdependencias entre el viejo y el nuevo continente. ¿Qué tipo de transmisión de saberes en relación a la dictadura se dieron a lo largo del siglo Xix? ¿Por qué vías y disciplinas circularon estos saberes? ¿De qué forma pudieron proveer o restar legitimidad a un determinado régimen dictatorial? ¿Qué emociones se movilizaron y para cuáles fines?

Las propuestas para el simposio deberán enviarse antes del 28 de febrero de 2018 a la siguiente dirección de correo electrónico: moises.prieto@hu-berlin.de. Para poder ser considerada, la propuestas deben contener los siguientes elementos: título de la ponencia, currículo del autor/de la autora y united nations resumen de una página como máximo. Se considera la publicación de las actas en un volumen colectivo cuyas aportaciones serán seleccionadas.
