Item type:Publication, Political Manoeuvring in the Norman Kingdom of Sicily: Civitate and Carinola in the Development of the South-Italian CountyOne the of most interesting documents concerning the social and political history of the Norman Kingdom of Sicily can be found in the first instance in Giuseppe Del Giudice’s appendix to his diplomatic collection of Angevin documents. The document records Robert, Count of Civitate, restoring some lands that Robert Guiscard and Roger II had formerly granted to Abbot Unfredus of Terra Maggiore, and agreeing upon some exemptions and privileges. The edited document, though seemingly unimportant and relevant only at a local level, is not only crucial for the understanding of King Roger’s rearrangement of the nobility and their dominions in the mainland. What I argue here is that it also exemplifies the contemporary usage of the notion of county as a construction of something more than just a ‘countship,’ and rather a cluster of lordships defined by the social role exercised by the Norman count. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, What can we learn from the Semantic Web to ‘revamp’ our Historical Research?This article comes as a result of the self-learning process I went through to understand what linked data is and how to use the semantic web model for collecting and organising my own historical data. In order to share this experience with a wider, non-specialised audience, I have written an introduction to the fundamental concepts behind the semantic model, accompanied by some brief reflections on their conceptual implications and examples on how to apply them to socio-historical data. In so doing, I wrote the introductory reflection that I wished I had known when I first heard the semantic web. The review of key concepts offers definitions for relational and linked data, graph database, RDF, semantic triple, vocabulary, ontology, and OWL. It is however a basic introduction, and it does not pretend to serve as a new contribution to the field or as a tutorial for learning how use RDF or OWL. Instead, it offers a beginner’s guide for students and researchers alike; it aims to show the reader where to start and what to expect. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Royal comestabuli and Military Control in the Sicilian Kingdom: A Prosopographical Contribution to the Study of Italo-Norman AristocracyWhen the Sicilian monarchy was established after years of conflict, King Roger II began to consolidate his authority on the Italian peninsula. The establishment of titles for the organization and control of the continental provinces has been noted by several scholars as an instrumental feature of the kingdom's social arrangement. Yet, contemporary scholarship has dismissed the royal comestabuli as unimportant social agents, either as "officials" documented in the Catalogus Baronum or as territorial lords. As a result, several questions surrounding the issue remain unanswered: to what extent did the local, lesser aristocracy shape the kingdom's effective social, and military, control over Southern Italy, and who were the nodal characters that allow us to discern this process? Was a comestabulia a fixed administrative district, or rather a type of social authority? Although in this limited space a finished picture cannot be presented, this article offers the results of a recent prosopographical exploration of South Italian sources for the Norman period. By taking the comestabuli as a starting point, I study the intermediary position that particular barons held as both royal agents and para-comital supervisors of the military contingents levied from the kingdom's aristocracy. This article attempts not only to shed some light on this almost ignored class of functionaries, but also to further explore the social roles established amongst the Italo-Norman nobility. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, La impronta de la Universidad de Salamanca en el pensamiento de Alonso de la Veracruz: su originalidad y su influencia en la Nueva EspañaIntentaremos hacer una aproximación filosófica a la originalidad del pensamiento de de la Veracruz con el método de la intertextualidad (Pereda, 1994. Skinner & Tully, 1988), la influencia de la Universidad de Salamanca y la impronta del Nuevo Mundo en su reflexión filosófica. De la Veracruz, uno de los primeros Maestros de filosofía y teología de la Real Universidad de México, publicó el primer libro de física —filosofía natural— en América en 1554. Su obra filosófica comprende los cursos o relectiones que debían impartir a los alumnos de la recién erigida Universidad. El objetivo era que sus alumnos tuvieran los fundamentos necesarios para continuar sus estudios de filosofía como cualquier alumno de la Universidad de Salamanca para que lograran comprender la física aristotélica, a través de su relectio cumbre: Physica speculatio. Junto con la Physica speculatio, se cuentan otras cinco de orden filosófico. Dos obras de lógica: Recognitio Summularum y Dialectica resolutio, que versan sobre el Organon aristotélico. De Dominio infidelium et iusto bello, sobre filosofía política, así como De decimis. Speculum coniugiorum sobre aspectos teológico morales sobre el matrimonio. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Ética profesional: los sistemas relativistas frente a la ética realistaLa búsqueda para determinar un criterio sólido sobre la moralidad, es decir, sobre la bondad o maldad de los actos humanos, ha tenido una ardua trayectoria histórica de modo que al día de hoy tenemos muchas propuestas que prometen cientificidad. Sin embargo, al analizarlas, observamos que estas son, en muchos de los casos, contradictorias. Lo anterior tiene como consecuencia que frecuentemente se dude sobre la legitimidad científica para determinar la bondad o maldad de los actos humanos. Es por esa razón que consideramos pertinente abordar el tema del carácter científico de la ética realista frente a los otros sistemas que tienen el común denominador del relativismo. Este capítulo tiene como objetivo presentar algunos sistemas éticos que se pueden considerar como representativos, para darnos una idea de la necesidad de una ética objetiva y realista. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Fernández Aceves, H. (2020). Review of A companion to Sardinian history, 500–1500 (M. Hobart, Ed.).This edited volume is a collection of essays by eighteen prominent voices in Sardinian history. It presents current research and introduces an important subject to English-speaking readers. Medieval and early modern scholarship on Sardinia has considerably grown in the last decades, and Hobart’s volume helps non-Sardinianists surveying this new landscape. The book is organised into three main sections: History, Archaeology and Culture. As an introduction, the editor offers a summary of medieval Sardinian history and a chronological outline of the historical writing, although the methodological and ideological constraints of the historiography are not addressed. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, The Making of Medieval SardiniaVolume Editors: Alex Metcalfe, Hervin Fernández-Aceves, and Marco Muresu. This landmark volume combines classic and revisionist essays to explore the historiography of Sardinia’s exceptional transition from an island of the Byzantine empire to the rise of its own autonomous rulers, the iudikes, by the 1000s. In addition to Sardinia’s contacts with the Byzantines, Muslim North Africa and Spain, Lombard Italy, Genoa, Pisa, and the papacy, recent and older evidence is analysed through Latin, Greek and Arabic sources, vernacular charters and cartularies, the testimony of coinage, seals, onomastics and epigraphy as well as the Sardinia’s early medieval churches, arts, architecture and archaeology. The result is an important new critique of state formation at the margins of Byzantium, Islam, and the Latin West with the creation of lasting cultural, political and linguistic frontiers in the western Mediterranean. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, El artivismo mexicano: una alternativa frente a la paradoja del sistema para erradicar la violencia contra las mujeres(2023); Este análisis examina a partir de estadísticas la situación de violencia que enfrentan las mujeres en México. En primera instancia se define la violencia en contra de las mujeres y se analizan algunas de las estadísticas que miden este fenómeno en México. Aunado a esto, se identifican y examinan los mecanismos legales y jurídicos enfocados en la erradicación de la violencia de género, en la que encontramos una paradoja. Al reconocer la ineficiencia y, en algunos casos inoperancia, se explora la posibilidad de comprender la violencia de género como un constructo cultural. Por tanto, se arriesga la hipótesis de que es necesario modificar la cultura y apostamos por sugerir que la respuesta debe venir desde esfuerzos culturales transdisciplinarios. Con esto en mente, se explora y define la alternativa que presenta el artivismo a partir de la examinación de la obra Memorial para Lesvy y víctimas de feminicidio, de una artivista mexicana.
