El descubrimiento del Brasil por Vicente Yáñez Pinzón : el cabo de Santo Agostinho

Nadie duda ya de la prioridad del viaje de Vicente Yáñez Pinzón a las costas brasileñas, donde llegó el 26 de 1500, y, por tanto, de su condición de descubridor de las mismas, aunque todos reconozcamos que la colonización empezó tras la llegada de Cabral, unos tres meses después. Bastantes autores se han ocupado del tema. No obstante, el debate histórico actual se centra en concretar el lugar de arribada, el llamado por Pinzón "Cabo de Santa María de la Consolación". Tal vez esta cuestión pueda parecer intrascendente al historiador europeo, al que tanto dan unos centenares de kilómetros más o menos, máxime dentro del mismo país, sin embargo es un problema crucial para varias ciudades brasileñas.___________________________Nobody already doubts of the priority of the trip from Vicente Yánez Pinzón to the Brazilian beaches, where it arrived January of 1500, 26 and, therefore, of their condition of discoverer of the same ones, although we all recognize that the colonization began after the arrival of Cabral, about three months later. Enough authors have been in charge of of the topic. Nevertheless, the current historical debate is centered in the place of arrived, the call for Pinzón "Cabo de Santa María de la Consolación ". perhaps this question can seem not very important to the European historian, to which so much gives some hundreds of kilometers more or less, mainly inside the same country, however it is a crucial problem for several Brazilian cities

La esclavitud en Huelva y Palos a finales del siglo XVI

Basado en la documentación más antigua de los Archivos de Protocolos de Huelva y Moguer, este estudio plantea las principales características de la esclavitud en la comarca a finales del siglo XVI, especialmente interesante por haber sido la zona pionera en las navegaciones atlánticas, tanto a las costas noroccidentales de África, principal núcleo proveedor de esclavos, como a las de América, que llegaría a convertirse en el más destacado centro demandador y explotador de mano de obra servil. Por ello, muchas de las actitudes que caracterizaron a las relaciones entre amos y esclavos en el litoral onubense constituyen un modelo que se extendería, corregido y aumentado._______________________________This study describes the main traits of slavery in the Huelva and Moguer region during late Sixteenth century. It is based on the oldest documents from the "Archivos de Protocolos" of Huelvla and Moguer. This region is especially interesting because it was the pioneering area in the Atlantic Sailings not only to the coast of Northwest Africa, the main supplier of slaves, but also to America, which would become the most important area of demand and exploitation of the slave work force. Becausa of this, many of the attitudes that characterized the relationships between masters and slaves in Huelva's coastal region became a model that would spread, corrected and augmented

L'evolució filosòfica de Josep Lluís Blasco.

In this paper Josep Lluís Blasco¿s philosophical evolution is expounded. If we leave aside an initial tentative period, during which he studied Whitehead¿s and Heidegger¿s metaphysics, Marxism, and analytical philosophy, we can clearly distinguish in it two periods. In the first one, till 1975, he assumed the presuppositions of analytical philosophy of ordinary language, and proceeded with the idea of improving its method, particularly categorical analysis. In the second one, from 1979 on, although still connected to the analytical tradition, he did not join any trend or school, and started his reflection on transcendentality. With this line, presented as an alternative way to Quine¿s naturalized epistemology, Blasco thought that it was possible to find an answer to the epistemic status of philosophy
