Summary: Constitutional judiciary in Spain The subject of this thesis is constitutional judiciary in Spain. According to the Spanish Constitution of 1978 Spain belongs in the group of states which have established a system of concentrated and specialized constitutional judiciary. In the Czech legal literature is the Spanish constitutional judiciary mentioned mainly as a system based on the German constitutional judiciary, writings dedicated exclusively to the Spanish system are not very common. In spite of the fact that the legislative regulation of the Spanish Constitutional Court was really importantly inspired by the regulation of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany (especially in the area of competencies of the Constitutional Court), there are also some significant particularities and typical features of the Spanish Constitutional Court which can be an interesting subject of an analysis. The aim of the thesis is to provide a characterization of the Spanish constitutional judiciary. Because of the limited length of the thesis this study does not contain a detailed analysis of all aspects of the Spanish constitutional judiciary. I have focused only on some topics of the Spanish constitutional judiciary, particularly on the topic of the position and the importance of the Constitutional Court in the...

The Constitutional Development of Franco's Spain The aim of this paper is the description and analysis of constitutional developments in Spain during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco (1939-1975). This paper can be divided into two basic parts. The first, which consists of chapters 1- 4, describes the chronological development, based on historical, social and economic context. Thus, it is possible to obtain an overall view of the Spanish legal system during that period. The text, however, extends beyond the timeframe of 1939-1975. Due to the necessity of explaining the context to the reader, the thesis also describes the period that preceded the establishment of the dictatorship (1902-1936). This is the reason of including a brief introduction of constitutional texts in force in Spain before the dictatorship. A separate sub- chapter describes the development during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, the period from which Franco derived in many ways. Building of the "New State" starts during the Civil War (1936-1939). This was when its basic features were outlined and laws displaying its character were adopted. The description of constitutional development of the Franco regime's is divided into two periods in the thesis - primer and segundo franquismo. The change in the economic policy...

Anotation in English The theme of my master's thesis "Inquisition and Protestants in New Spain (1536 - 1820) is the inquisition in New Spain, its functioning as an institution, its development and procedures with the main emphasis put on individual cases of judged Protestants. Firstly I describe the development of the inquisition in Europe with emphasis put on the Spanish inquisition. Afterwards I focus on inquisition as a judicial institution. Here I describe the whole judicial process from denunciation, order to appeal at the court, torture and final verdict. But the main emphasis of the thesis is put on the Protestants judged by the inquisition in New Spain. In these chapters, firstly I divide them by its nationalities. Then I analyse each nationality separately. I state the verdicts and punishments over the judged Protestants. Some cases, where we know some details, I examine with more details including the circumstances of the arrest, progress of the trial or even chat happened with the Protestant after his sentence had expired.

This dissertation explores the relationship between immigration, diversity and minority nationalism. Through a study of Catalonia and its relationship with the Spanish state, the dissertation assesses how immigration and the growing social diversity that accompanies it, can challenge, undermine, or reinforce the political claims and objectives of minority nationalists, in particular, their goal of promoting a distinct and self-determining national community. It focuses on an effort by Catalan political and civil society leaders to construct a “national consensus” on immigration, the 2008 National Agreement on Immigration, which provided a 20-year plan for adapting Catalan government services and Catalan society to the pressures and demands of its increasingly diverse population, while at the same time providing mechanisms for the integration of newcomers into the Catalan language and national community. The analysis centres on the text of the National Agreement on Immigration as well as recent Catalan immigration plans and policy documents, in addition to the broader debate surrounding the National Agreement among Catalonia’s major political parties. The dissertation reveals that the National Agreement on Immigration represented both a significant re-framing of Catalan national identity and an attempt to expand the power and autonomy of the Catalan government by the various signatories to the accord. It concludes that the National Agreement represented an important component of a pivotal era in Catalan politics, one that has the potential to radically redefine the region’s relationship with both Spain and Europe, and in which questions surrounding immigration and diversity are increasingly intersecting with broader debates surrounding economic instability and the prospect of Catalan independence. / Graduate

Thesis advisor: Irene Mizrahi / This study, which is dedicated to the analysis of three novels by Carme Riera: Una primavera para Domenico Guarini, Cuestión de amor propio, and La mitad del alma, investigates the disappointments and disconnections that the protagonists suffer in their relationships with other characters and the influence of culture on those relationships. This study demonstrates that the breakdown of the relationships between daughters and mothers and between friends is the result of the patriarchal society of Francoist Spain that is hostile towards women. The repression that Riera’s narrators, who are all women writers telling their stories in a personal, intimate first-person narration, suffer under such a society not only causes them emotional problems, such as depression, frustration, lack of self-esteem, feelings of unworthiness and inferiority, but also prevents them from having meaningful relationships with other women as friends and daughters. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2009. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Equality is part of the European policy and legislation. However there are still evident signs of women being treated unequally in the labour market. The aim of the thesis is to answer the question if women are more vulnerable to economic shocks in terms of wage distribution. The focus will be on women in Spain in the context of the financial crisis of 2008. The thesis examines the evolution of the salary structure in the period 2002-2014 using the microdata of the Structural Earning Survey. The taste-based and the statistical discrimination theory are going to be described in order to explain the causes of gender wage discrimination. The methods applied in this paper are the Mincer method, which explains the human capital theory and the Oaxaca-Blinder decompositions, which separates the gender wage gap into explained and unexplained parts. The results from the study suggest that there is a decrease in the gender wage gap in Spain following the situation before and after the crisis. / <p>Correction: Spring semester 2019</p>

O teatro trans-ibérico: Raul Brandão e Valle-Inclán tem como objetivo: pesquisar, analisar e comparar a literatura dramática desses dois artistas e escritores contemporâneos; ambos representantes de suas gerações literárias, na península ibérica, e desencadeadores de uma moderna dramaturgia no início do século XX. Antes de apresentar o estudo comparativo do teatro português e espanhol, do início do século XX, faremos observar alguns aspectos históricos e sociais da contínua decadência peninsular deste período, questões que aproximam ambos ainda mais, e que enfaticamente influenciaram na formação dos temas, das concepções artísticas e literárias dos dramas desses dois autores de povos vizinhos. Um painel amplo e detalhado da vida e obra de cada autor, em seu respectivo contexto histórico, fez-se aqui necessário para vislumbrar o percurso realizado por cada um deles e o desenvolvimento de suas respectivas produções literárias. Testemunhas comprometidas com esse período, Raul Brandão e Valle-Inclán, ao término da Primeira Guerra Mundial (1914-1918), na plenitude literária de suas vidas, decidiram criar uma dramaturgia de vanguarda. Jesus Cristo em Lisboa (Brandão, 1927) e Los cuernos de Don Friolera (Valle-Inclán, 1921) são frutos do inconformismo de uma época conturbada; peças características de um teatro, que apostava em mudanças e, sobretudo, buscavam alguma reação sinestésica de suas respectivas sociedades. Elegemos os dois dramas mencionados, por serem considerados os precursores do teatro moderno, e por se tratarem de peças polêmicas, produções cinematográficas e de difícil encenação. Tratando-se também de estudo comparativo, recolhemos um conjunto de recepções críticas sobre nossos autores e suas respectivas obras dramáticas, em vida tanto quanto postumamente. Por fim, após investigação, conclui-se a respeito das diferenças e semelhanças desta dramaturgia ibérica, presente nas peças de Raul Brandão e Valle- Inclán. / The objective of O teatro trans-ibérico: Raul Brandão e Valle-Inclán is to research, to analyze and to compare those two artists\' dramatic literature and contemporary writers; both representatives of their literary generations, in the Iberian Peninsula, and provocative of a modern theater in the early century XX. Before presenting the comparative study of the Portuguese and Spanish theater, of the beginning of the century XX, we will observe some historical and social aspects of the continuous peninsular decadence of this period, subjects that approximate both still plus, and that emphatically they influenced in the formation of the themes, of the artistic and literary conceptions of those two authors\' of neighboring people dramas. A wide and detailed panel of the life and each author\'s work, in his/her respective historical context, was here necessary to glimpse the course accomplished by each one of them and the development of their respective literary productions. Witness committed with that period, Raul Brandão and Valle-Inclán, in the end of the First World War (1914-1918), in the literary fullness of their lives, they decided to create a vanguard theater. Jesus Cristo em Lisboa (Brandão, 1927) and Los cuernos de Don Friolera (Valle-Inclán, 1921) are the result of the dissatisfaction of a disturbed time; pieces characteristics of a theater, that it bet in changes and, above all, it looked for some reaction synesthésique of their respective societies. We chose the two mentioned dramas, because they are considered the precursors of the modern theater, and because they were controversial pieces, cinematographic productions and of difficult staging. As a comparative study, we collected a group of critical receptions about our authors and their respective dramatic works, in life as much as posthumous. Finally, after investigation, it is concluded regarding the differences and similarities of this Iberian theater, present in Raul Brandão\'s pieces and Valle-Inclán.

Luiz Francisco Rebello e Alfonso Sastre: o teatro de resistência sob os regimes fascistas ibéricos tem como objetivo pesquisar e analisar a literatura dramática desses dois artistas e escritores contemporâneos, representantes de suas gerações literárias, que produziram peças originais, perturbadoras, mordazes, engajadas ideologicamente contra os regimes autoritários da península ibérica e, por esse fato, foram sistematicamente censurados. O trabalho tem como objeto a produção dramática de Francisco Rebello e Alfonso Sastre entre os anos de 1944 e 1974, anos marcados pela repressão e censura do fascismo ibérico, assim como, pelo fim da segunda grande guerra, pela iminência da Guerra Fria, pela ameaça nuclear e pelo drástico cerceamento à liberdade durante os governos totalitários de Portugal e Espanha. Faremos observar alguns aspectos históricos, sociais e políticos da contínua decadência peninsular deste período, questões que aproximam ambos escritores ainda mais, e que enfaticamente influenciaram na formação dos temas, nas concepções artísticas e nas literárias dos dramas desses dois autores de povos vizinhos. Um panorama da vida e obra de cada autor, em seu respectivo contexto histórico, fez-se aqui necessário para vislumbrar o percurso realizado por cada um deles e o desenvolvimento de suas respectivas produções literárias. Testemunhas comprometidas com esse período fascista ibérico, Francisco Rebello e Alfonso Sastre, ao término da II Guerra Mundial, no prelúdio literário de suas vidas, decidiram criar uma dramaturgia de vanguarda e resistência. Peças teatrais, frutos do inconformismo de uma época conturbada e repressora; obras características de um teatro que apostava em mudanças e, sobretudo, buscava alguma reação sinestésica de suas respectivas sociedades. / Luiz Francisco Rebello and Alfonso Sastre: the theater of opposition under Iberian fascist regimes aims to research and analyze the dramatic literature of these two contemporary artists and writers, representatives of their literary generations, which produced original pieces, disturbing, spicy, ideologically engaged against the authoritarian regimes of the Iberian Peninsula, and this fact, systematically censored. The work is focused on the dramatic production of Francisco Rebello and Alfonso Sastre between the years 1944 and 1974, years marked by the collective Iberian fascism, by the end of the Second World War, the imminence of the Cold War, the nuclear threat and the drastic curtailment of freedom during the totalitarian governments of Portugal and Spain. We will look at some historical, social and political decay of the continuous period of peninsular issues that bring both further and strongly influenced the formation of the themes of artistic and literary conceptions of the tragedies of these two authors of their neighbours. A wide panel of life and work of each author in their respective historical context, it was necessary to glimpse here the route taken by each of them and develop their literary productions. Witnesses committed to this Iberian fascist period, Francisco Rebello and Alfonso Sastre, at the end of World War II, in the prelude of their literary lives, decided to create a vanguard and opposition theater. Plays, result of the nonconformity of a tumultuous and repressive time; works features a drama, which believed on changes and, especially, tried some synaesthetic reaction of their respective companies.

Thesis: Courtly Love was a comprehensive cultural phenomenon brought about by changes in the social environment and influences from the Arab world. The crisis of the aristocracy in fifteenth-century Spain was a major determining factor in the revival of poetic themes and forms inspired by this literary and sentimental ideology. Oblectives: 1. To study the various trends in scholarship from the sixteenth century to the present day so that the term 'Courtly Love' can be redefined as a valid instrument for critical analysis; II. To investigate the socioeconomic background to the revival of troubadour poetry and chivalric idealism in late medieval Spain. The study inquires into: - I. The Origin and Meaning of Courtly Love. The theories are examined chronologically and analytically. For purposes of analysis they are divided into those concerned with the origins of amour courtois and those concerned with the meaning and validity of the concept. 1. Chronological survey: this survey shows the extent to which opinions on the medieval love lyric reflect contemporary literary fashions and political ideas. 2., Theories of origin: include Chivalric-Matriarchal., Crypto-Catharg Neoplatonic, Bernardine-Marianistg Spring Folk Ritual, Feudal-Sociological and the Hispano-Arabic. The Hispano-Arabio theory stresses the impact of Arab medical doctrines and Slid mysticism on European literature; the Sociological theory attributes the emergence of the troubadour movement to social and economic factors. 3. Theories of meaning: include the interpretation of Courtly Love as a collective fantasy fulfilling a psychological function; as an example of the play element in culture; as a figment of the imagination projected on the Middle Ages by nineteenth-century writers and scholars. II. Background to the Troubadour Revival. Courtly Love was from the start an aristocratic phenomenon. A considerable number of the nine hundred poets who flourished in the courts of Spain and Naples during the fifteenth century were related by ties of kinship and dependence to a rebel aristocracy, whose moral authority had been diminished by changes in the art of war and in the structure of society. Many were court officials Jewish conversos and the lesser landless sons of noble families. The rise of the Castilian love lyric is linked with the prevalence of baronial anarchy and with the rapid inflation of the titular nobility. It was a conservative reaction to social crisis by the dominant minority. 1. The aristocratic theory of society: examines the theory of the three estateat different forms of patronage, and the court as a centre of culture. 2* Historical background to the troubadour revival: outlines events during the reign of the Trastamaran dynasty, and attempts to assess the influence of personalities on cultural attitudes. 3. Documents: include decrees issued by Joan I of Aragon and his successor Harti" extollling the benefits of the Gay Science.
