Summary
Os Campiños is one of the most important tomb and megalithic necropolis of the Barbanza peninsula and Baixo Ulla. This is due to both to the magnitude of some of its monuments, which preserve orthostats and stone armour on the surface, and to the existence of a decorated anthropomorphic stele found during the archaeological excavations carried out in 1984, which has prehistoric engravings. The objectives of this Final Degree Project are, on the one hand, to carry out a field archaeological update study on the necropolis, collecting first-hand data to be able to contrast them with previous research and to analyse the current degree of conservation. On the other hand, as for the stele, with the aim of revisiting previous research, it is proposed the realization of a 3D model by mean of near object photogrammetry and its analysis by means of digital imaging techniques. The work concludes that the necropolis is in a poor state of conservation, and immediate actions are needed to clean and enhance the value of the monumental complex. Regarding the anthropomorphic stele, the digital imaging techniques allow us to observe possible new motifs that complete the already known iconographic program.

Summary
Historiography has dealt extensively with the subject of the Holocaust but has paid less attention to children. This paper aims to explore how Jewish children percieved and documented the genocide through their diares and drawings. Various aspects will be examined, such as antisemitic polices, the Final Solution, and daily life in the concentration and extermination camps. In addition, it will analyze how the Holocaust is remembered today, both in official contexts, such as in institutions and museums, as well as in popular culture, through films and other media.

Summary
Confucian ideology has prevented women from trying to stop their subordination to men for millennia. This paper seeks to approach using a tripartite structure, with a gender, historical and chronological perspective the different processes that led the women of China living at the turn of the century to take the first steps in the search for their rights. This paper's first section will be dedicated to Confucian values that would later be challenged, classifying the archaic figure of the Confucian woman as a problem for women who would live through the fall of the Chinese empire and Western interference. In the next section, the answers before the New Culture movement to the neo-Confucian pressure on women will be shown very briefly, as well as the relationship between gender and the Empire and the decline of the Qing Dynasty. Finally, the third section will delve into the New Culture movement itself and the desire of its female participants to create a utopian and liberal figure categorized as New Woman, as well as a comparison between three perspectives: the Western, the masculine and the Chinese feminine.

Summary
The present research examines the influence of the prevailing anti-communism in the United States and the resulting paranoia in American cinema during the second half of the twentieth century. It primarily focuses on how Hollywood served as a mirror reflecting society's fears of a potential proliferation of communism. From the end of World War II to the height of the Cold War, the American film industry became an ideological battleground. During this period, the activities of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) led an intense campaign to identify and eliminate communist influence in Hollywood. Through an analysis of sources, key films, and significant political events, this study investigates how the American Way of Life was promoted through cinema and how it served as a tool to reinforce conservative values in the context of the Cold War. This research addresses the strategies employed by both governments and filmmakers to survive in the tumultuous political landscape, providing a detailed insight into the cultural and political consequences of anti-communist sentiment in American society.

Summary
The guilds played a crucial role in urban life during the Modern Age, not only in terms of work but also in terms of sociability. As a result of this sociability, the guilds formed group identities that were further strengthened through their obligatory participation in public festivities. These events provided the guilds an opportunity to display their prestige and power over other institutions, often resulting in conflicts. Additionally, the guilds played a significant role incorporating various elements from popular culture into these events. This paper focuses on the participation of guild corporations in public celebrations during the Modern Age, with a particular emphasis on 17th and 18th century Spain. Its aim is to address the aforementioned issues and explore the role played by guilds in these festivities.

Summary
The influence that metaphysical painting exerted on the aesthetics of surrealism is undeniable. The style, initiated by Giorgio de Chirico in the 1910s, helped articulate the visual language of a movement that focused its subject matter on the dreamlike and the depths of the psyche. His deserted urban spaces, his symbolically charged objects and his references to classical myth represent a visionary world that connects with the unconscious mind. Influenced by romantic symbolism and the aesthetic ideas of Nietzsche, it prefigures surrealism. Its maximum representative, De Chirico, will motivate much of the symbolic content of the work of Salvador Dalí, who would end up becoming one of the most relevant actors within the surrealist group. The affinity between the work of these two authors implies an unspoken relationship on which I intend to shed some light, since there are many iconographic motifs that Dalí extracts from De Chirico, constituting a pictorial transfer that clearly illustrates the work of the Catalan.

Summary
Despite her sudden death in 2018 at the age of 54, Berta Cáccamo was already an established artist in Galicia and in Spain, with several monographs and solo exhibitions in both public and private institutions. She also had the fortune of being able to explain her creative processes through her doctoral thesis and numerous interviews and articles, always from an almost introverted reflection. Therefore, in this work, we seek to shed light on other aspects of her life and work, focusing especially on her collaborations in projects, her contribution as an illustrator, and her work as a professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Pontevedra. Another element we highlight here is the creation of the Berta Cáccamo Legacy, a dynamic entity that has given relevance to the artist's archive and placed her work in the main collections of the state, emphasizing the acquisition by the Museo Reina Sofía and the donation to the Museo de Pontevedra.

Summary
The main goal of this project is the elaboration of a journey through the centuries in which Western christian spirituality’s evolution is revealed; more specifically, it is worth narrowing down the time frame of the study from the beginnings of Christianity to the arrival of the mendicant orders, highlighting only those periods that are remarkable as they represent turning and/or transition points from the genesis of Christian spirituality to that just mentioned moment. There is the need to emphasize on the saints’ figures, whose iconography will be briefly explained in order to thin out the content of the writing; it is considered that the concept of holiness has suffered notable changes throughout history, and hence this journey is carried out: from the martyrs era, to the ascetics and monks, passing through the dominant model of holiness in the Carolingian era, feudalism and the appearence of the mendicant orders as a result of the cities’ resurgence. Actually, in this case the ending is set with the arrival of Dominicans, Franciscans and so due to the incompatibility of going on further in time and not being rambling and inaccurate.

Summary
The objective of this work is to show the evolution of defensive systems throughout the Modern Age. We Will see how technological progress in the world of war will transform defensive architecture, going from high castle made up of thin walls made of stone to poligonal fortesses almost at ground level with thick slope walls made of Earth and covered in stone. The place i hace chosen to carry out the study is the border between Spain and Portugal, sepecifically in the area of the Miño river, a Space full of defensive systems due to the antiquity of the “Raya húmeda” and the Verín-Chaves axis. Which allows me to clearly explain this evolution during the period 1469-1814 that covers the Spanish Modern Age.

Summary
Based on the premises proposed by Edward Said, this paper seeks to delve into the connection between the discourse of oriental otherness and the nineteenth-century artistic trends that touch the Spanish sphere. Sticking to a very specific historical context, the foreign visions, the development of autochthonous genres and the late incorporation of colonialist and imperialist logics make Spanish pictorial orientalism an exceptional case.

Through the artistic work of Michelangelo Buonarroti, we will examine the survival of the classical tradition in the Christian culture of the Italian Renaissance, going through the preceding movements that heralded this artistic rebirth, and ending with the crisis of the sixteenth century that broke with the balance and clarity of that classical Renaissance. During this period, Michelangelo integrated the aesthetics and ideals of classical art with Christian themes in his most emblematic works such as David or the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. This work will focus on analysing how throughout his life he grew up surrounded by influences in his environment that determined his way of working and thinking, and how he used classical techniques (such as proportion and naturalism) to express Christian concepts inspired by Greco-Roman mythology and philosophy, representing a key bridge in the preservation and transformation of the classical cultural heritage in the Christian Renaissance.

Summary
Buddhist art, and more specifically Gandhara art, and its Greco-Roman influences are the subject of this paper. After briefly explaining what Buddhism is and its key concepts, the reasons why Greek and Roman art remained present in the Hindu Kush area - Alexander the Great's campaign of conquest, the post-Alexander empires and the successive Indian and Persian empires, which continued to maintain contact with the West through the Roman Empire - are discussed. The emergence of Buddhist art is discussed in order to understand the reasons for the development of a symbolic and idealistic art, encouraged by the doctrine of Mahayana Buddhism. Several sculptural pieces and reliefs are analysed with the intention of showing the main characteristics and iconographic types that have been generated in a specific area, the nerve centre of Buddhist culture in its beginnings.

Summary
In a socio-political moment where far-right groups attempt to roll back rights for the LGBTQ+ community and racialized individuals, it is crucial to analyze the history of this collective, with its highlights and challenges. This work delves into the phenomenon of Voguing and Ballrooms, exploring their origins, the structure of the Houses, the various competition categories, the eminent figures of this culture, and the HIV crisis, among other topics. Through Beyoncé and her album Renaissance, the impact that the subculture created by these marginalized groups has had on music, including the creation of house music, is examined. This analysis highlights the connection between Beyoncé's music and LGBTQ+ culture, emphasizing its influence on the visibility and acceptance of the community. The work exemplifies how this subculture has been reborn and flourishes in opposition to social and institutional discrimination.

Summary
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the subsequent entry of the United States into World War II prompted a mass evacuation of Japanese Americans residing in the Pacific Coast states. Consequently, all individuals of Japanese origin, even if they were born in the United States, were forced to leave behind their belongings and homes solely due to their racial ancestry. Up to 120,000 Japanese Americans were relocated to concentration camps at the beginning of 1942, with the vast majority remaining confined until the end of the war and, in some cases, even longer. This dissertation will analize why and under what conditions this mass incarceration took place, considering the decision-making by the government and the role played by American society, the personal experiences of the internees through their diaries and memoirs, and the subsequent resettlement of the victims and the government's rectification for the injustice committed.

Summary
The Alexiad has frequently been interpreted in a biased manner, either by imposing more severe criteria on its author than on other Byzantine authors due to her exceptionality or by reading all of her work based on details about her private life. While it is natural to consider an author's motives for writing their work, in the case of Anna Komnenos isolated sources have been used that are just as subjective as she is, often ignoring the rest of her personal life beyond her early years, denying her any type of intellectual or political activity. This work will expose the theory that the Alexiad, far from being the unfair and spiteful attack towards her recently deceased brother that has always been assumed, is in reality a deeply political work, aimed at criticizing the changes in the internal and external policy of the byzantine empire during the reign of Manuel Komnenos. This criticism would also be part of an important and often unnoticed intellectual movement of a classicist nature that reflected many of the concerns and currents of thought of the 11th and 12th centuries in the “post-macedonian” Byzantine

Summary
This project focuses on the myth of the Judgment of Paris, one of the best known and most important in Greek mythology because it is the prelude of the famous Trojan War, illustrated by Homer in his Iliad. Therefore, starting from the mentions of the judgment in Homer, a review will be carried out by different Greek and Latin authors who looked at the myth. From this point, a critique of the sources will be made, seeing the differences between them, along with the visions that they have of the judge, Paris. Afterwards, two other points will be seen in which we will see what the behavior of the goddesses is like in the Iliad and how the Judgment influences the victim Helena. These two points are made with the intention of having a broader vision of the context surrounding the trial and how it influences the war.

Summary
On November 12, 1936, in Pontevedra, ten people were killed by coup violence. One might think that the only victims of that day were those who were murdered, but the violence went further, so it is worth asking whether the group of families should also be included under this denomination. Thus, focusing on one of them, that the Adrio family; and from diverse sources such as interviews and memories of the protagonists, it will not only be discussed how the violence of the perpetrators lasted for several generations; but also address the question of memory and how it manifested itself in different ways depending on the violence previously exercised in each branch of the family. In some, fear would be accompanied by silence, but in others, memory would always be present. That is why, each 12th November since the end of the Francoism, several graves in the San Amaro cemetery receive bouquets of flowers in the colors of the Republican flag; flowers, which not only represent the defense of political legality that cost the lives of thousands of people, but also show that memory did not die with them.

Summary
The Russian Revolution was one of the most important events of the 20th century and occurred in a country where 80% of the population was peasants. But when we talk about the Russian Revolution we usually think of large masses of workers and soldiers raising red flags and taking to the streets in the name of the revolution. However, the peasantry proved to be a decisive factor in the events of 1917, even leading them. During tsarism, the peasant was the protagonist of the great reforms of autocracy, such as The Emancipation Edict of 1861 or Stolypin's Reform. After the Revolution of 1905, Lenin discovered the revolutionary potential of this class and occupied an essential place in Bolshevik politics after the October Revolution. In this work we will analyze the situation of the peasantry and its role in the Russian Revolution, going through the main peasant episodes during the tsarist regime and during the Bolshevik government until the beginning of the Collectivization of 1929.

Summary
In 1975, not only did Franco’s death take place, also the International Women’s Year and with it, the opportunity for the feminist movement to flourish in our country. A movement organized around two main issues: the legal achievement of the right to abortion and divorce, wich resulted in a long process that went through the called Constitution of disenchantment of 1978 until a incipient triumph in 1981 with the recognition of divorce and in the 1985 of abortion. A long-distance race in which women still marginalized in this democratic Transition had to form a common front against the patriarchy, the church and the Franco regime that remained the order of the day despite the disappearance of the dictator.

Summary
When we inquire about what happened during the Spanish War, history and memory become two necessary approaches to interpret the past. Both approaches serve to rescue the stories of persecution and repression about the defeated ones, especially, about those anonymous people who did not have or were not given a voice to tell what they lived. This dissertation starts from the promise of giving voice to an anonymous narration to structure the vital journey of most people. Therefore, we will analyse the exile and the return to the Francoist Spanish Estate of the Galician combatants after the Civil War through the figure of Serafín Estévez Martínez, whose life will serve as a main axis of what many Galicians experienced. It is a historial investigation approaching the participation of the French Resistance, as well as the French concentration camps, or their stay in prison. This thesis is based on the analysis of the primary sources conserved by the subject’s family, as letters and documents of the time, with support of oral history collected through different interviews and a bibliographical review of the diverse topics addressed, to cover all questions and be able to reconstruct the individual experience, while also contributing to the logic of the collective desire to combat the idea of forgetting.

Summary
During the late Middle Ages, Western European society was influenced in multiple ways by fear. It would manifest at specific moments when existing dangers would pose a real threat, but there were also fears that were present in the daily life of the population. This would significantly impact the behaviour and mentality of individuals, which will be exploited by the most powerful social groups and institutions to dominate and control society.

Summary
Cartularies are fundamental sources for medieval studies; it is necessary to approach them not only as text containers but also as codices. By analyzing cartularies from the Historiographic Science and Techniques perspective, it is possible to address issues that extend beyond the information collected in the “originals” copied in them. The cartulary of the monastery of Saints Xusto and Pastor of Toxosoutos (AHN, Códices, L. 1002) seems to be, at first glance, a well-known codex. However, an approach to it from the viewpoint of codicology and diplomatics allows the discovery of aspects hitherto ignored.

The history of urban life is a question of particular attraction. The purpose of trying to get closer to the past to know the details that marked the lives of people from other times, introduces us to a reality that we try to understand in all its complexity. The discourse in which the work is inscribed is marked by the idea that history should not be interested in women or men as immutable beings, perpetually identical to themselves, and abstract, but rather in individuals inserted in society. of which they were part, conditioned by the time in which they lived and, in this case, by the different activities and trades. The general objective of this work is to delve into and offer a vision of the aspects of daily life from the perspective of a social and economic history as well as to approach the urban environment of the Crown of Castile and the specific aspects of its cities, through the study of a group as important as the community.

Summary
From the mid-nineteenth century onwards, European monarchies were forced to transform themselves to adapt to the new times, having to update themselves and devise new rituals to get closer to their citizens. A new project of scenic and cerimonial monarchy was designed, which needed direct and recurrent contact with the masses for the popularization of the institution; to achieve this end, a program of royal visits was developed. Alfonso XIII systematically traveled throughout the country during his reign (1902-1931), with the aim of reinforcing the symbolic image of the monarchy as a nationalization strategy. The last stage of his reign was marked by his support for the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera (1923-1930), which caused his figure to be moved to the background, leaving aside some key aspects such as militarism, to focus on the legitimization of the monarchy through a direct link with Catholicism. The coexistence between the monarch and the dictator was reflected in the official visits, in which Primo de Rivera also participated to popularize the new regime and get closer to the population. To exemplify the differences in power, symbolism and projection of the public image between the king and the dictator within the scope of official visits, in this paper the visits made by Primo de Rivera and Alfonso XIII to Galicia during the dictatorship will be compiled and contrasted.

To exemplify the differences in power, symbolism and projection of the public image between the king and the dictator within the scope of official visits, in this paper the visits made by Primo de Rivera and Alfonso XIII to Galicia during the dictatorship will be compiled and contrasted.

Summary
This work aims to make a first approach to the social housing projects built in the place of Fedorento, in the vila de A Guarda, in Pontevedra, Galicia, during the fifties and sixties of the 20th century, in the context of Franco’s dictatorship and under the direction of the Instituto Nacional de Vivienda, the Delegación Nacional de Sindicatos and the Obra Sindical del Hogar. In this way, the objectives will be to address, at first, the process of construction and assignment of the homes to their first beneficiaries, and to carry out, in the second instance, a study about the social composition itself and their degree of consent towards the regime, as well as understanding the course of life in all its facets within the housing groups. This research intends at the same time to contextualize its results with the existing literature on the subject, to initiate a process not only of individual study of this instance but also of establishing certain common logics while highlighting the particularities observed in the case study. For the construction of the work, access to primary sources such as archival documentary sources, newspaper sources, photographic sources, and oral sources, collected through interviews with beneficiaries of the homes, has been very important.

Summary
Francesc Eiximenis was a Franciscan monk who lived in the Crown of Aragón during the second half of the fourteenth century. He was really well connected to the Royal House and the municipal government of Valencia, acting in these institutions as a councilor. At the same time, he took part in many different activities, whose varied work is very useful to analyze the theory and economic behavior during the Late Middle Ages in the kingdom of Aragón. After analyzing the contexts in which Eiximenis was developed and the construction of the author and authorship that exists around his figure, the objective of this paper is exploring the economic issues that he collected in his writings, which are a reflection and influence of the times he lived in.

Summary
After the publication of the well-known and polemic book from Philippe Ariès, L’Enfant et la vie familiale sous l’Ancien Régime in 1960, the studies featuring medieval childhood opened their views and perspectives in relation with the spot and consideration that the younger ones had in that society. Taking these accounts as well as medieval sources, this project has the ambition to develop the consideration that childhood may have had in the Central and Late Middle Ages (XI-XV centuries), focusing on three well-documented phenomena like infanticide, abandonment and oblation. Moreover, it will also try to build up this image through other topics related to children, such as the models of the “stages of life”, motherhood, labour and family. It will try to analyze the different accounts historiography has proposed for these childhoods while also assessing the dimension that the talked-about phenomena had in central and late medieval society.

Summary
Medieval humour speaks directly to us about the characteristics of the societies from this historical period. The jokes that were used reflected the prevailing ideas of the Middle Ages, as well as the social and power structures that supported this world. This paper seeks to expose the fundamental axes that structured medieval humour through some of the fields on which the comic operated. To this end, relations between humour and laughter, the Church, power, and literature are explored. All these operations show a series of identities that ultimately suffer from humorous attacks, the victims of humour.

Summary
This Final Degree Project attempts to carry out an analysis of different conceptions related to the Greek Hades. In this case, we will refer to Hades about the world beyond mythology and not to the character. We will try to explain aspects such as its geogra-phy, its characters, its characteristics... In this work, we can also observe different parts in which various topics will be discussed where catabasis takes center stage since the fragments chosen for the said company would be katabatic passages. To do this, we will rely on two fundamental works, which will help us, through exam-ples, to visualize different aspects that are indicated in the bibliography, these works will be: the Odyssey of Homer and The Frogs of Aristophanes. In this way, we will be able to be aware and analyze the evolution, but also the continuities of the theme, since these are not contemporary works, at the same time we will be able to observe the theme of Hades from two very different points of view, such as the epic and the come-dy. We would therefore conclude by explaining that the different representations of Hades in literature help us form a vision of it, at the same time that they allow us to analyze its importance and its impact on Western culture and thought.

Summary
In this paper, we will analyse the Galician exodus to the northern regions of Portugal between the 18th and 19th centuries. To do so, we will consider the factors that drove this emigration, taking into account the economic, political, and social context on both sides of the border, as well as the areas of origin and destination where this mobility was most relevant. Once these issues have been addressed, we will try to illustrate the personal conditions (taking into account factors such as gender, age, or marital status) and the socio-professional conditions (in the case of mobility for employment purposes) of the emigrants. In the characterization of the emigrants, we will finally analyse the presence of Galician men and women in charitable institutions, hospitals, and prisons, as well as guerrilla fugitives, who frequently operated on both sides of the border. Finally, we will proceed to carry out two case studies. The first will focus on the presence of Galicians in the city of Porto, and the second on emigration from the county of Condado to the region of Entre-Douro-e-Minho.

Summary
During the first half of the 20th century in Cuba took place a national construction process, which would progressively lean on the contribution of afro-descendant cultures. This reality is exemplified by the figure of Fernando Ortiz Fernández. We will study this author in the various contexts in which he wrote his works and we will analyse the evolution of his studies and his influences. In the same way, we will synthesize the original ideas of the ortizianian studies and we will localize his more relevant concepts, as well as his nuclear works, that make him one of the personalities who collaborated with building a unique Latin American historiography.

Summary
Euripides is considered one of the greatest Greek tragedians, alongside Aeschylus and Sophocles. His play Hippolytus, written in 428 a. C., is one of his most remarkable works. This dissertation will reflect on the importance of Greek theatre, its influences (the transition from epic poetry to tragic drama) and its correlation with religion in Greece at the time. Departing from this premise, we will delve into the life and work of Euripides, more specifically his tragedy Hippolytus. An analysis of the work will be carried out: the importance of the figure of Aphrodite and Artemis, the origins of these goddesses in Greek mythology, as well as their relationship with the mortals who are the main characters. It will also examine the role of women in Greek tragedy (represented through the figure of Phaedra), the role of the hero represented through Theseus and Hippolytus, and will conclude with a reflection on the profound relevance and impact that this work has had on a cultural level, not only for the Greek theatre of the time, but also the impact it has had throughout history.

Summary
Death is one of the greatest concerns of the human being since its beginnings, constituting a variable that substantially marks the social rhythms through time. From this perspective of intrinsic concern of individuals and societies, in this paper, I will analyze the relationship between death and society in late medieval Galicia in the urban environment. In order to do so, I will trace a line to understand the social construction, the identity and the collective imaginaries of the time. The body text is marked by a direct relationship between ideas and the materiality of death; analyzing the way in which beliefs, fears and attitudes are demonstrated through the material (in testamentary literature, rituals and Galician funeral art). For this, I will start from a methodology marked by the historiographic line of the social history of mentalities, forming an interdisciplinary work that will offer a transversal reading of historical, anthropological, theological and sociological issues. Furthermore, the relationship of this concept in a spatial and chronological plane will allow, through the different historiographic traditions, to develop an in depth analysis of how ideas materialize in society, and which is the historical tradition that sustains the conception of death in the time and space of study.

Summary
From the late 16th century, Potosí became the epicenter of silver exploitation, driving the economy of the Spanish Empire. The initial use of indigenous methods for the extraction and purification of silver changed with the introduction of mercury. This advancement allowed the processing of medium and low-grade silver at the cost of severe consequences for the health of the miners. Huancavelica played a crucial role as the main source of mercury for the silver mines. Its proximity ensured a constant supply, consolidating its position in the new mining process. The organization of work through encomiendas and the salaried labor of yanaconas was replaced by the mita. The Incan tribute to labor was transformed into a system of forced labor by Viceroy Toledo in 1572. This system was also accompanied by wage laborers, known as mingas. The exploitation of Potosí left a lasting imprint on indigenous communities and the development of Spanish colonies, highlighting the interconnections between technological advances and labor abuses in the pursuit of wealth in the Viceroyalty of Peru.

Summary
The Civil War between Julius Caesar and Gnaeus Pompey was a turning point in the history of Rome. In it, Caesar was able to impose himself thanks in large part to the military superiority he enjoyed: the colonial army that had served him in Gaul and that was the hard core of his forces during the civil strife. Classical sources spread the story of troops loyal to their commander, with a strong bond forged in previous campaigns and committed to Caesar's political discourse. However, this image of blind loyalty is called into question by the recognition of several mutinies within Caesar's legions. In this paper we will try to approach these episodes, understand their causes, context and consequences, as well as try to answer the question of to what extent a political awareness can be traced in them that would lead these soldiers to revolt.

Summary
The barbarian was one of the main subjects of alterity during the Ancient Age, standing out for its continuous presence in the works of a wide range of authors. This term not only denoted foreigners but also symbolized everything that was foreign and contrary to the Greek and Roman civilizations. Throughout antiquity, the figure of the barbarian appears recurrently in literary sources, allowing for a deep analysis of its treatment. Studying the presence of barbarians in various literary sources not only facilitates understanding of how they were perceived and represented in each work but also allows for establishing different paradigms of barbarism application. These representations reflect the cultural and political tensions of each period, and their evolution shows how the Greek and Roman civilizations related to foreign peoples. Additionally, the analysis of these literary sources reveals how the perception of barbarians changed over time, adapting to different contexts. From the earliest mentions in the texts of Homer and Herodotus to the descriptions of Ammianus Marcellinus, the image of the barbarian underwent significant transformations. These changes reflect the evolution of Greek and Roman cultural identities and their ability to integrate or reject others. Thus, the barbarian, as a subject of alterity, offers a valuable window to understand the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion in antiquity, as well as the construction of cultural identity in the ancient world.

Summary
In recent decades the connection between Fashion and Art has been much disputed. Is actually fashion one of the Arts? Do we think about art when referring to a staple piece of clothing? What is the real function of fashion in our society? This Bachelor’s Dissertation would try to explain the relationship between fashion and the Arts through Yves Saint Laurent’s collections, one of the first designers to create fashion inspired by artists or pieces of art. In the form of a retrospective of his designs, light is shed on the symbiotic relationship between both concepts. In addition, an approach to the understanding of fashion’s origin, its own language and its sociology is suggested. Thus, an explanation is offered on how what we wear can talk on our behalf and/or describe to others who we are. On top of that, it is also mentioned why we use fashion the way we do and where trends or tendencies we are surrounded by come from. As a conclusion, a brief sample of fashion in museums through the couturier’s designs is provided.

Summary
Any reflection on any means of expression must raise the question of the modes of representation of reality. But the question of realism is more pressing when our medium is photography, since it is only photography that we demand to be accountable to the world. This work comes to an encounter between photography and reality to discuss this requirement. In the first section, we present a tour of the discourses that have influenced the reality principle of the relationship between the photochemical image and its referent while trying to point out its twists, its superpositions and its cracks. We continue with a critical review of previous discourses to show that photography cannot be understood or told from a singular origin, a linear narrative and a definitive meaning. In a second section, we will notice the entry of chance into photography, that is, the unforeseen details that escape the hand and eye of the operator. Intrusions that, in turn, will show us that the image always has the last word. For all this, and given the impossibility of retaining it, we conclude that photography has not yet been invented.

Summary
Throughout history, the Church built spaces to welcome the faithful, adapting them to the specific functions they had to fulfill at each moment. The current format of the church of San Paio de Aranga has a lot to do with the need to adapt it to the conditions demanded by the large arrived of devotees, who made a pilgrimage to attend the celebration of the Santa Cruz. Myths and legends are constructed to respond to the setbacks of life that cannot be resolved naturally and divinity is resorted to in search of the solution. This work aims to show how these myths and legends give rise to events that become extraordinary and the Church welcomes them. To do this, we turn to bibliography on anthropology that helps us to understand the the rural living system. The texts of Lisón Tolosana, of González Reboredo and, also, those of Fariña Jamardo, on the transcendence of the parishes, and those of Carré Aldao, speaking of the pilgrimages, served as a theoretical basis to approach the reality that the witnesses of the place confirm to us. We approach the church of San Paio as one of these spaces. We use the building itself as a reference in data collection and recognize the difficulty to understand information from primary sources. It would be pleasant to think that this work could serve as an incentive to continue with the research in the future

Summary
The Prestige represented a new way of understanding art in Galicia at the beginning of the 21st century. The conditions that make it possible to relate current capitalism to the oil tanker of which the Galician coast was a victim, also help to know a little more about Galician politics, the action processes that followed the environmental catastrophe and the characteristics that artistic production could boast of, where most of the social and environmental impact of the sinking fell. The type of work allowed us to approach a dystopian world, a future world that promised to be as black as the color of “chapapote” and just as dark and opaque as the representative sides of Galician society at that time. Society, through the germ of a collective protest, organizes itself against the injustices of facing an environmental event of this nature, always acting out of respect for the origins and socio-cultural particularities of the Galician territory. The artists, of whom it is common to assume their anonymity, transmit their fiction to a reality that needs them, from which they drink because of what happened and, at the same time, they end up nourishing with their results.

This final degree proyect focuses on the decade of the 70s in the history of Moroccan cinema, with represents a crucial period for the construction of national identity, especially through the documentary genre. In a post-indepedence context, Moroccan filmmakers used documentary as a means to explore and affirm Moroccan identity. The documentaries analysed not only show a detailed and nuanced narrative of Morocco, where cultural richness and the resilience of traditions face modernisation, but the focus given to everyday realities and social issues contributed to the preservation of memory, thus laying the foundations for the development of narrative and stylistic framework that would influence future generations of Moroccan filmmakers.

Summary
After providing a context for the Balkan War that took place between 1998 and 2001 in former Yugoslavia, I focus on analyzing the work of three artists whose pieces helped me navigate through events, much like any citizen who experienced this war. Sanja Ivekovic addresses both its causes, protesting against the government of Tito and depicting life under it, and its consequences, alongside Maja Bajevic. Sanja Ivekovic initiates this narrative by expressing her views on Tito's government and the life experienced under it. Following that, Marina Abramovic, one of the most prominent contemporary artists today, narrates the aftermath following the dictator's death and the subsequent clash between various nationalisms in the region and among the different religious beliefs coexisting in this territory. Through her performance, she prompts the world to reflect on the consequences of the war triggered by this ideological and religious clash. Lastly, to conclude the historical journey of those affected by this war, Maja Bajevic explains one of its primary consequences,emigration resulting from such conflicts.

The objective of this work is to focus on the phenomenon of Second Slavery in 19th century Cuba with a double purpose. On the one hand, confront the expansion that this had in a Spain, that had become its epicentre, with the paradox that we are a country that has continued to elude its memory until today despite the steps taken in the countries around us. And on the other hand, address those aspects that help us reconstruct that reality overall in a historical key, avoiding falling into biased visions. That is why, in addition to addressing the business of slavery itself, its origins and the question of the origin and social journey of its promoters, we also incorporate three other aspects associated with the future of slavery and its memory: the resistance offered by the black community; the initiatives and weight of the slave lobby, including the role of institutions and the political class; and the significance that the abolitionist movement had in the metropolis

Summary
Like contemporary societies, people in the late Middle Ages spent part of their time sharing rumours and gossips about others. Through late medieval literature and sociability studies, this paper will examine the presence of gossip in everyday life during this period, as well as how it was both condemned and seen as more than just social entertainment. Gossip sometimes even served as judicial evidence. Taking a gender perspective, this paper will also explore the deliberate and misleading association between gossip and the vices of women, in contrast to men who were also prone to gossiping and cursing. Throughout all of this, reputation and fame were heavily impacted by gossip, which eventually became viewed as a mortal sin by the Church. Ironically, there were certain situations in which the Church actually relied on gossip to uncover improper behaviour among its followers.

Summary
This work seeks to study two different social groups, not only because they have different physical conditions; on the one hand, blind, and, on the other, deaf-mutes, but because each group came to survive, throughout this period, in completely unequal ways, although both, always, with the support of people without any physical or mental deprivation, even from the authorities. However, the blinds were able to organize a whole structure of assistance and protection among themselves through the creation of brotherhoods and confraternities; this is the case of Hermandad de Ntra. Sra. de la Visitación y Ánimas del Purgatorio de Madrid, while the deaf-mutes were unable to establish such organizations, however, it didn’t mean that this group was marginalized, but on the country, there was a concern for them and their education. All this reality, allowed the conception they had about these people, which was of irrational beings, even, in the case of the deaf-mutes considered “mindless” people, because, at the end of the eighteenth century, they underwent a change, and they began qualify them as rational, despite suffering from such a physical condition, which was understood as one more disease.

Summary
The mass media undoubtedly have a much greater capacity than academia to reach society as a whole. Its study seems fundamental to us, not only as a job, but as a duty. In this work we aim to achieve a greater understanding of ancient greece through the analysis made of it in the cinematographic and interactive media of this millennium. We will discuss the evolution of cinema with a Greek and classical theme, going back to the very beginning of the medium, as well as taking a look at the formation of the peplum genre along the way. We will establish the starting point of the revitalization of cinema with an ancient, and therefore Greek, theme at the beginning of the present century. This is simultaneous to the great development of the video game industry during the first decades of the century, so their conjunction seems more than appropriate. Through a comparative study between film and recreational works we will seek to answer questions that revolve around the reasons for the lesser Greek expression compared to the Roman one, the permanence of classic cinema in current films, and the type of relationship that exists between cinema and video games.

Summary
This research paper tries to show the reality of a small parish located in the interior of Pontevedra, called San Lorenzo de Fornelos de Montes, using as principal source some documents made for the occasion of the Catastro de Ensenada as, through these, it can be got a generic view about the day to day life in the territory. After a brief introduction about the origins and goals of the Catastro and its implementation in the kingdom of Galicia, it is contextualized the parish in its inmediate form of organization: Soutomaior’s jurisdiction. Finally, with the Respuestas Generales as guidance some issues are explained, for example, the situation of agriculture and livestock, insisting on how many ferrados they declared because some irregularities can be seen in the responses. To address the topic of society it is possible to sum up some of the professions that people had, normally related to farming. Moreover, a book about clergy is needed to solve a problem of inaccuracy in the number of priests. All kind of taxes that residents were forced to pay are the sequence of this whole narrative.

Summary
Throughout this research we will try to provide an answer to the existence of the phenomenon of holy war, its genesis, its conception and its application throughout the history of the two cultures that most developed and used it: Christianity and Islam. We will talk about who the main ideologues are in each case, how the concept evolved over time, how the society of its time saw it and how it has come to influence today's world. The military campaigns carried out by Europeans between the 11th and 13th centuries with the intention of retaking the Holy Land and defending Christians from Islam, the Crusades, will serve as a point of contact between both cultures and both ideas of holy war. In addition, we will also talk about the impact of this idea on other cultures, the most representative case being the Mongols and their empire. The lack of knowledge of this phenomenon, as well as its adulteration through its glorification or demonization, has given rise to multiple erroneous interpretations, both in the Western and Eastern Islamic worlds, which we intend to prove incorrect.

The Iliad has reached us crossing ancient barriers, showing us a world so foreign to us and yet so familiar and establishing itself as the paradigm of universal literature. It is no surprise, therefore, that this work has aroused so much interest in the community of historians, archaeologists and philologists who have always sought to unravel the enigmas of the Iliad, in some cases going so far as to appeal more to feeling than to reason in order to touch that past of heroes and gods that has captivated us so much. The following work presents two thematic lines, the first will consist of putting on the table the different theories about the historical dimension of the Iliad, the archaeological results, the chronology of the story and Greek orality as a way of overcoming the barrier of time. On the other hand, the second line of the work will consist of the analysis of the Homeric poem and compare it with the data we know about the Mycenaean world. The objective of this work will, therefore, be to unravel the world that the Iliad, identify it and evaluate its transmitting role in the work of the historian.

Summary
Fascisms are political-social movements that affect all aspects of daily life, and environmentalism is no exception. Thus, within the development of nationalist theories, especially in fasciscitate (Spain and Portugal) and fascists (Germany and Italy) powers, the environment will play a determining role in the construction of national identity, rejecting the existing model, which is the result of the Industrial Revolution and Modernity. In this way, a return to the rural is proposed because it would be less influenced by all modern currents. These, in addition, were originally foreign, so they had no place within a system that was foreign to them, so their introduction and assimilation resulted in the alienation of the population and, as a consequence, the loss of national values. In this way, the nation entered into a crisis, and what was needed to counter this process was a return to rural areas to reconnect the population with nature, but also the expulsion of those foreign influences, hence the development of an autarkic economy. All of this would be for the benefit of the nation. This definition of the national community with criteria that reach ethnic approaches, is also influenced by the development of racist postulates from a “scientific” point of view, thus giving rise to superior and inferior races. This will lead to the right of conquest to establish a new order.

Summary
This final degree project investigates popular religiosity in Gallaecia during Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages (4th to 8th centuries). The study focuses on the evolution of religious practices, the influence of the Church and the syncretism between pagan and Christian traditions. Using primary sources and research work, the aim is to analyze how the Catholic Church, with the help of civil institutions, consolidated Christianity and how pre-existing beliefs were integrated into the new religious structure. The main objectives are to understand the transformation of popular religious practices and the role of the Church in the social and spiritual organization of Gallaecia.

Summary
This is a paper on typology, causes and objectives on the use of violence by the CNT in its political and union praxis and its revolutionary strategy in the time frame 1931-1933, concurring with the first biennium of the republican regime. The first chapter gives context on the organizational and ideological state of Galician and Spanish anarcho-syndicalism at the onset of the Republic, the nature and evolution of relations between anarchism and republican governmental forces, as well as the process of internal radicalization in the confederal union. The second chapter consists of a series of considerations on the use of terrorist tactics by revolutionary syndicalism: ways, objectives and organizational mediation needed to sustain the armed struggle against the state and employers. The third chapter is on violent labor conflicts and their political dimension in 1931 (mainly the Compañía Telefónica strike) and 1932. In this year there were three consecutive general strikes in which the CNT intervened in defense of the economic and political rights of the proletariat: against the governmental project on maternity insurance, against the repressive policy of the republican state, and in solidarity with the strike on the Ferrol shipyards. The fourth chapter analyzes the anarchist unrest in 1933 through two instances of strike conflicts with different immediate motivations but a similar strategic background. First, the support in A Coruña of the May 1933 general strike, called at a national level after the Casas Viejas massacre in January of that same year, which vindicated a series of antirepressive grievances of a more politically explicit character, rather than syndical. Second, the long construction strike that affected the city between 1932 and 1934, in which the local union chapter carried out a great number of attacks on property and people with the objective of bending the employers will and to take the labor conflict home.

Summary
In the present TFG, it is intended to make an approach to the functioning of society from a religious point of view during the dawn of Christianity, in a period that includes the time between Late Antiquity, around the IV century, since it is the moment in which the Christian cult begins to come out of hiding, until late in the Early Middle Ages, in the seventh century, when the aforementioned cult is already established in the society of the Iberian Northwest, in the same way as in the rest of the peninsula. To work on the analysis of the subject, attention will be paid to: the beginnings of the Christianization of the chosen geographical framework, the rituals, celebrations, festivities, places of worship and the funerary world of this period; and to the persistence of the old practices through the writings of Saint Martin of Dumio.

Summary
On the present study, the aim is to provide a diacronic view of the evolution of the Prehistory of the northwestern Iberian Peninsula, focusing on the resource acquisition strategies and the lithic technology. The period covered spans from the beginning of the Middle Paleolithic to the end of the Upper Paleolithic. Starting from the analysis of publications that document the archaeological records, this study seeks to overcome the limitations of Galician orography and other conditions stemming from the previous research, to comprehend the adaptability of the local inhabitants to the environment during a period of significant climatic fluctations. This adaptation is reflected in a gradual change on lithic industy, wich experiences a tendency towards the manufacture of increasingly specialized and smaller tools, as well as greater selectivity in the choice of raw materials.

Summary
This paper aims to carry out an analysis of the evolution and characteristics of religious behaviours in Galicia during the Baroque period, the 17th-18th centuries, which was characterized by a religious model established by the triumph of the Counter-Reformation. This work will study the sources that allow the study of this subject, such as wills and parish archives. But also, the gestures, steps and rituals, which at this time are shaped to perfection in order to avoid at all costs the greatest fear of a believer, that his soul would end up in hell or purgatory, and that on the contrary with the use of all this ritual the soul would emerge victorious entering heaven. Special attention is paid to the choice of shroud, burial or suffrages for the soul of the deceased.

This paper will study several of the episodes of violence unleashed as a result of the coup d'état of July 18, 1936. To achieve this goal, I have carried out a bibliographic review on the different authors who have studied this topic, contrasting it with data obtained from different military archives, in order to analyze and explain the dynamics of the events. Special attention has been paid to the steps that together allow us to understand the systematic application of violence in all its manifestations. This plan, drawn up by the main perpetrators, spread from Ferrol to ensure their control of its entire area of influence.

This paper will deal with the figure of José Pérez Ocaña, a multidisciplinary artist whose most prosperous years of artistic production were in the Barcelona of the Spanish Transition. After an approach to the historical, social and political context of the time and the artist's biography, we will go on to describe his artistic production in its entirety (including painting and acting). The bulk of this work will consist of a detailed tour of his best known and most interesting performances (what he called teatrillos), most of which are set in Barcelona in the seventies. These performances will be discussed in order to analyze issues such as Ocaña's aesthetics, his art located on the borderline between modernity and popular culture, or answer some questions, such as whether he transgressed the norms imposed by the nationalcatholic state only from a gender perspective.

Summary
The objective of this Final Degree Project is to analyze the cultural action carried out by two Galician women artists throughout their artistic careers: Julia Minguilllón and Maruja Mallo. To do this, we have chosen to empty the existing biography, very scarce in the case of Julia and, recovery of information through archive. The objective is to show two different realities from the same historical period. As a chronological framework, it is limited from 1902 to 1995 since it seeks to analyze the different vital stages of each artist. Thanks to this project, the differences between both painters are clarified; Maruja who still remains iconic with a very complete biography compared to Julia encapsulated in the “moment of Francoism.”

Summary
In a context like that of the Argentine dictatorship (1976-1983), censorship and military control also dominated the artistic realm. This work aims to delve into the collective creation of Argentine society at a time of constrained expression, both individually and collectively. To do this, two main thematic blocks will be structured. On one hand, the manifestations related to human rights. On the other hand, collectivity represented through music and its mass concerts. Regarding human rights, the expressions around the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo group will be analyzed, which sought to make their demands visible in the social scene. To achieve this, faced with the disappearance of their children, they bet on visibility through their public gatherings, either by making the absent ones present through the protesters, or by making themselves seen. As for collectivity represented through music, concerts are conceived as a focal point of resistance against a dictatorship that saw young people as subversives. These mass gatherings were viewed by their participants as countercultural meeting places in which to reaffirm a collective identity. The identity that the regime was erasing. With all this, through these two groups, examples will be analyzed that have in common collective entrepreneurship. The distance between work-subject, in the first case, and between artist-audience, in the second case, dissolves to create a collaborative work. The multitude appropriates, modifies, and resignifies what, at first, was created as an individualized work of art. Thus, in this way, in a context of repression, kidnappings, murders, and terror, only what has no identity survives.

Summary
This work aims to bring us closer to the origin of the transformation of images when representing figures of power. How the religious meaning of collective trophies is being corrupted towards the fiercest personalism and the creation of a new way of seeing the world. For this we will start in archaic Greece. We will then observe changes in the classical era with the identification of elements that are changing in anthropomorphic sculpture. Advances by masters such as Polycletos, Myron or Phidias. The last stage to be discussed in Greece would be Hellenism with Alexander the Great, the consolidation of his great kingdom and the contributions of his personal sculptor Lysippus to busts and the representation of power. In addition to the very rich numismatic section, it is not only with him but also with his successors who shared the territory after his death. The next step after Alexander would be the study of Ptolemaic Egypt, in which we see the hybridization of cultures and ways of representing power. It is an important link because the Ptolemies coincide with Rome in time, with which we can justify thanks to Cleopatra VII the triangle between these Mediterranean civilizations. In Rome we would start with the late republic and the 1st century BC. perhaps the richest in variety of images in all Roman history, to make way for Caesar and his heir Augustus who had created a new way of representing the political leader, inspired by Hellenistic artists.

The next step after Alexander would be the study of Ptolemaic Egypt, in which we see the hybridization of cultures and ways of representing power. It is an important link because the Ptolemies coincide with Rome in time, with which we can justify thanks to Cleopatra VII the triangle between these Mediterranean civilizations. In Rome we would start with the late republic and the 1st century BC. perhaps the richest in variety of images in all Roman history, to make way for Caesar and his heir Augustus who had created a new way of representing the political leader, inspired by Hellenistic artists.

Summary
The tombs with recumbent effigy, until this moment monopoly of the monarchy, will experience a democratization with the establishment of the new Trastamarist nobility in Galiza. This elite will find in their tombs a way of reaffirming their recently acquired nobility through the remembrance beyond the death, leaving evidence of one’s powerful dynasty through works for posterity. Emulating the monarchy and old nobility, Don Fernán Pérez de Andrade will introduce new elements in his deceased wife’s (Dona Sancha Rodríguez) tomb, in the late 14th century. Said tomb will be the model from which tombs for both noblewomen and bourgeois women will be created in the next hundred years, deriving in two differentiated tendencies: thus, noblewomen will take from this tomb the liturgical type, adopting the bourgeois women the characteristic padded roll headdress. These non-isolated typologies will be replaced by a new model in the late 15th century, giving way to tombs in which the women’s effigies style nun-like clothes, more concordant with the new ideas on Christian moderation, in response to the excesses of the time.

Summary
The work covers the concept of meme focusing on the most important aspects to understand them in their context and relationship with today's society. To that effect, the birth of the meme and its origins related to the scientific aspect and its evolution to what would be the precedents of the well-known meme of the digital age are. Taken into account, thus alluding to historical-artistic moments such as surrealism, kitsch, vignettes and cartoons or the appearance of series in audiovisual culture. In addition to all of this, the tesis adds an empirical analysis of the typologies of memes that are divided in terms of their content and intentionality (Rage comics, Trollfaces, Soywojak, Virgins-Chads, Average fan-enjoyer, Fried images and Shitpost) and their form as an element of the audiovisual culture (videos, texts, text-image association), which later on allows the meme phenomenon to be related to a form of communication and applied to the language and system of today's speech.

Summary
Since the beginning of its history, cinematography has found a great source of themes, plots, and materials in narrative literature to nourish its productions. Adaptation, transfers, transpositions, or rewritings are the numerous terms used to describe the heterogeneous adaptive practices carried out by filmmakers who create a work based on a pre-existing text. This paper aims to reflect on the strategies and theories of adaptation and transfer of literary texts to film texts. To this end, part of the research focuses on the narratological study and analysis of the narrative; from the elements that make up the narrative to its translation and transposition into a film text.

Summary
Cinema, as a cultural product that reproduces the stereotypes and gender roles present in society, has contributed to perpetuate an image of women as subjects lacking desire, making them invisible or subjugating them to the male gaze. This paper aims to demonstrate the political capacity of cinematographic discourse, moving away from the cultural models elaborated by androcentric thought. To this end, we investigate the narratives generated by women who, in the last two decades, have massively burst into directing positions in state-owned industry. In this sense, the Other Spanish Cinema offers an experimental field from which new feminine identities have been born, capable of claiming their pleasure and sexual desire as a means of empowerment and, above all, of self-knowledge, helping to free them from their pejorative connotation.

Summary
Currently, there are dozens of armed conflicts that go unnoticed in the Western world due to the biased work of the media, which always cover the same topics. One of these cases is the current and bloody Yemeni Civil War, whose media invisibility has made it forgotten by most of the sovereign states in the world. However, it has been 10 years since the start of this conflict, and it does not seem to be nearing its end. In this master thesis, we will analyze its impact on geopolitics in recent years, especially in recent months due to its global importance since the war between Israel and Palestine that began in October 2023. To do this, we will focus on the role of regional leaders Saudi Arabia and Iran, as well as the United States and Russia. We will also make a comparison with the Vietnam War or Second Indochina War, as well as with the Syrian and Afghan War.

Summary
This paper will analyze the process of articulation of the Jewish minority in the Castilian social structure during the Catholic Monarchs’ time. Its objective is to teach about the conditions and motives that led to its participation in the conflict with the different social sectors. In order to do this, we will delve into the relationshin between the Jewish community and the monarchy, in which the early stages, based on tolerance and protection policies, mutate towards its eradication or forced baptism. It will be shown how the monarchs, encouraged by various political, economic, social and especially religious reasons, under the protection of the Inquisition, started a journey that ended with the expulsion of the Sephardic community from their respective territories on March 31, 1492. Along with this, the economical and social impact that the departure of the Jews had on both the Sephardic community and Medieval Spain will be evaluated.

Summary
Between 1961 and 1962, Adolf Eichmann, also known as the “engineer behind the Holocaust”, was executed due to his war crimes, as well as his crimes against humanity and the Jewish people. His trial was the first ever to be broadcasted around the world, arising diverse debates about moral, Law and History. Several intellectuals have shown interest about this topic. One of the most noted is the explanation of Hannah Arendt, an American jew philosopher from German ancestry who was at the trial as a journalist. She developed the theory that would be known as the “banality of the wrong”, with the irreflexive thinking as the centre of the action, with the potential outcome of any individual commiting atrocities such as the Holocaust. This stance has been since heavily criticised, interpreting this thesis as a way to justify Eichmann’s actions and implying that those acts were not motivated by his Nazi and antisemitic ideas; some even misinterpreted this theory as a defense of Eichmann. In this paper, an analysis will be made on Eichmann’s trial, as well as the different theses that it inspired, paying special attention to the interpretation of said trial from Hannah Arendt’s point of view and the criticisms that it arose, letting us take a good look (from a historical standpoint) at not only the events, but also the influence that those facts had on the society of the early 20th century and that are relevant to this day, specially for studying and knowing how to act in the several belic conflicts that have occured since then until the present day.

Summary
This work seeks to reopen the debate in the political analysis of past governments and regimes in contemporary Latin America, in which the concept of populist was accepted as an adjective to define the leadership of a large part of the political models that were established in the continent. In the following pages, we choose Peru of the 20th century to analyze this phenomenon, its implications and the most prominent episodes that could confirm populism as a well-received practice within (and beyond) the country's borders. Thus, we will analyze the characteristics of populism, Peruvian political history, and finally the encounters between the concept and the reality.

Summary
The present work is oriented to the study of the agrarian movement in the Ordes county for the period 1900-1940. We use resources such as the statutes and various letters and information sent to the civil governor of A Coruña, trying to reconstruct the evolution of associations through these resources. For this, we focus on secular and politically non-aligned organizations with any party, as these are the most numerous, but also on some religious and even some connected to labor movements. We divide the information with temporal criteria, first during the last decades of the liberal system of the Restoration (mainly from 1906 with the law of associations, but also thanks to the law of 1887), then during the Dictatorship of Primo de Rivera and finally during the Second Republic, with a last post-war example to observe the change they experienced after the conflict.

Summary
The period of time under which the empire was ruled by Constantine the Great (ca. 272-337 AD) was undoubtedly one of the greatest epochs of transformation in the Roman Empire. Constantine's conversion as part of his rise to power and his long spiritual career led him to the constant promotion of Christianity in his legislative-political work as a princeps from the economic to the institutional sphere. He elevated Christianity from a marginal and persecuted position to the very centre of imperial power and empowered the members of the Christian community to a new political, institutional and social dimension. The legislative fact that represents one of the major turning points linked to this new social dimension of the bishop will be the ability to manumit slaves in the churches in his own presence, the manumissio in eclessia or in sacrosantis ecclessis, which, as we shall see later, will give him first-rate powers with important considerations from a juridical and social point of view.

Summary
This paper addresses the question of breastfeeding of others -non biological mothers- from a wide perspective in which social, economic and cultural aspects are interconnected. Thus, through the consultation of specialized bibliography, we attempt to understand and explain that the wet nurse function in the Modern Ages in the Galician Kingdom was essential for the child survival and, at the same time, it was a paid activity that involved the lower levels of society. The foundling wet nurses, controlled by care institutions, were the majority and they played a key social and even cultural role. In this sense, here we will also address the emotional bonds and the level of acceptance or rejection of this function as well as the intervention of the wet nurses in the intervention of the wet nurses in the sponsorship of the children abandoned in the baby hatch and the onomastics applied to them. Finally, conflicts arising from the relationship between wet nurses and minors.

Summary
The Christianization of Anglo-Saxon England is generally attributed to the Gregorian Mission, which began in 597. It is surprising, however, that by the ninth century this process is considered to have concluded with the total conversion of the territory. In this paper we will analyze the immediate context of the British archipelago after the break with Rome, the motivations that may have prompted Gregory I to order the mission, the groups that were key to the Christianization process, the factors that may have facilitated it and the degree of penetration that Christianity may have had in the population.

The time frame to be covered will be from the fall of the Zelaya government in 1909 to the 1990 elections. We will begin by contextualizing the start of the Nicaragua-USA relationship in the early 20th century, following its evolution over time, comparing and commenting on it with articles from La Vanguardia of the same period, to help us examine the Sandinist attitude and ideology, and the perspective of the Spanish newspaper. We will also deal with the first years of the Sandinist government, exposing the immediate events after its establishment, as well as its international position, highlighting its relationship with Cuba and the war with the Contras, ending the work with the liberation theology, putting the attention on the visit of John Paul II in Nicaragua.

Summary
In the first third of the 19th century, a struggle between liberalism and absolutism for power took place in Spain. After a brief period known as the Liberal Triennium, in which the revolution triumphed, a counter-revolutionary victory over the liberals occurred, leading to one of the largest political diasporas in Spanish history. From 1823, liberals were forced to leave Spain for various destinations, primarily France, England, Portugal, and Gibraltar. From exile, the liberals dedicated themselves politically to attempting to restore the liberal regime in Spain through the hegemonic model of Spanish liberalism, the pronunciamiento, with the new challenge that conspiracy activity posed due to being in exile. Within the liberal conspiracies of these years, two distinct phases can be identified in the pronunciamientos: an initial phase that could be considered more spontaneous, driven by the urgency to overthrow the regime, and a second phase characterized by more organized conspiracies under the direction of military leaders. Despite all efforts, none of the insurrectional attempts achieved the goal of overthrowing the absolutist regime; the liberal restoration eventually came through a pact with the regime's moderates, which managed to exclude the ultra-royalists from government.

Summary
Childhood constitutes a fundamental part of various human societies throughout history, however, it has not been equally important in the field of academic research. In this study, childhood in the Paleolithic will be explored through a series of aspects and archaeological finds, including paintings, toys, tombs, etc. There are several objectives to carry out this study, such as understanding the lives of children in the past, challenging the ideas of childhood and recognizing the importance of childhood in human history, since the Paleolithic is one of the most important stages of the same.

Summary
This work seeks to clarify the circumstances that made possible the perpetration of the Armenian Genocide that occurred between 1915 and 1923 and the reasons for its non-recognition. It begins by analysing the concept of genocide itself. The situation of the Armenian population within the Ottoman Empire is contextualized and the causes that led to the perpetration of genocidal policies by the Turkish State are investigated. With the end of World War I, judicial processes were carried out in which those responsible were tried and convicted. These sentences were not carried out, which led to the formation of Operation Nemesis (1920-1922). Armenia and Turkey began a diplomatic struggle for international recognition of the genocide by the former and denial of the facts by the latter. Finally, we will see the role of the diaspora and culture in Armenian memory policies.

Summary
The History of Vigo is marked by a resounding contemporaneity. However, the purpose of this work is to bring us closer to a deeply silenced Vigo Middle Ages, but in which we already observe signs that will mark its future. The discursive thread of this study is a whole series of news that reached the present day from medieval Vigo, which corroborate that it did exist and that it had certain relevance in different aspects. Faced with an evident scarcity of documentation from this period to be discussed, other sources of information such as toponymy, Archeology or Art become key, which contribute to shedding light on deeply unknown and undervalued Vigo centuries. Furthermore, although we have notable information gaps about the Vigo Middle Ages, the testimonies, studies and authors we have allow us to build an idea of the conformation, characteristics, inhabitants, lords, events and vestiges of that medieval Vigo. The late imperial settlement did not die in the 5th century and was reborn in the Modern Age, because, as we will see, the olive city of 2024 would not be what it is without those thousand years of History.

Summary
The main objective of this thesis is to check the persistence of the old regime through a nodal social class (the bourgeoisie) in a nodal nation-state (post-revolutionary France). For that we need to take into account what it is understood as bourgeoisie, contextualizing it in its time taking into account its origin and development and how it secures itself in France after Lewis the XVI. Emphasis has also been placed in its role as a revolutionary agent, especially in the direction and control of the popular mases with the objective of taking the ultimate control of the state apparatus, taking over the spaces (and properties) of the old privileged classes. All this, with the primary objective of proving if the Old Regime persists in the bourgeoisie class, but also in the new society suposedly created after 1789. The main sources which will serve as suport for this thesis will be La Persistencia del Antiguo Regimen by Arno Mayer, De Campesinos a Franceses by Emile Weber and Años de Vertigo by Blom.

Summary
Through the concepts of sex and gender with brief explanations about the so-called Engendered Archaeologies -feminist, gender and queer- as well as a small introduction to the divulgative world - education, museums and cinema- of prehistoric times, the perfect context is established to open the door to the reflections and debate about gender theory in Prehistory. We will meditate on the boundaries between the natural and the cultural, as well as how far the category of gender can go in historical study and whether it is susceptible to certain chronologies.

Summary
The work presented below consists of a synthesis of some of the symbolic dimensions of Galician Megalithism. It is intended to carry out some of the conceptual logic of what megalithic societies built their monuments. Thus, from the first section, a historical contextualization of the phenomenon in Galicia is carried out, we move on to an interpretation of the phenomenon from the landscape point of view. Next, we include a new section dedicated to megalithic architectures that seeks to define some aspects related to the consideration of the megaliths as cultural memories. A section dedicated to grave goods is also included that allows us to determine the symbolic importance of the archaeological objects. Finally, we analyze the artistic manifestations as symbolic elements present in funerary expressions.

Summary
This research focuses on the living standards of the inhabitants of A Coruña during the early years of Franco's regime, from the post-war period onwards. In the first part of the work, the methodology used is explained, going through the context and the demographic and economic structures of the time. The bulk of the work is made up of the study of living standards, which is based on the collection of primary sources on the city. On the one hand, it deals with family structures, explaining the typology of Herculine families and their employment situation (types of jobs and salaries). On the other hand, it analyses family consumption at the time, focusing the research on consumer products and family spending based on these. In conclusion, the aim is to recreate the living standards of herculine families through the study of primary sources and to seek, with these, a different vision to that of the classical bibliographical sources.

In this academic work we will delve, specifically, into the history of fashion in the English regency (1811-1820),through the famous Netflix series Bridgerton. The objective of this work is to carry out an analysis and comparison of the clothing of the English regency period, the clothing of the series, the analysis of theory of color and the inspiration of the costume direction from the series as in the literature of Jane Austen, fashion houses such as Dior, Chanel and Givenchy; and even the Hollywood figures of 50s and 60s like Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn. As well, in current fashion, the series has made aesthetics such as regency core fashionable and this had an impact on haute couture and fast fashion.

Summary
This research explores the influence of sub-Saharan African music on the musical landscapes of Brazil and Colombia, analysed from a gender perspective. By examining the historical and socio-cultural trajectories of these regions, the research highlights how African musical traditions were preserved and transformed through the transatlantic slave trade. This cultural heritage significantly influenced the development of genres such as samba in Brazil and champeta in Colombia. The study also focuses on the crucial role of women in these musical traditions, emphasising their contributions to preservation, innovation and resistance against oppressive structures. Through a gendered lens, the research reveals how music serves not only as a form of cultural expression, but also as a means of social and political resistance, particularly for women of African descent.

Summary
Since the 20th Century the cinema has been one of the most preferred leisure spots for the working classes. The cities of A Coruña and Vigo introduced films in Galicia, which led to those two cities to own the most number of cinemas on the region. The sociocultural relevance that spawned due to this activity in A Coruña can be studied through the architecture of three paradigmatic cinemas: the París Cinema, the Avenida Cinema and the Riazor Cinema. Each one of these examples takes place in a different chronological context so that we can witness the gradual evolution of a very important collection of architectural heritage located in A Coruña. This brief study ponders about the actual condition of these buildings from the point of view of the material and immaterial heritage, including a historic-artistic context that enables a complete comprehension of these edifications.

To do this, the vaiarity of fabrics, garments and accessories will be exhibited, and therefore, fashions both national and from outside the kingdom. In order to clarify a realistic image of the fashions and clothing of the aristocratic classes in the Late Middle Ages, I use the representations of the members of some of the most prominent castilian lineages, such as Sir Álvaro de Luna and his wife mistress Juana Pimentel; the marquis of Santillana, Sir Íñigo López de Mendoza, and his wife mistress Catalina de Figueroa; or the condestable of Castile, Sir Pedro Fernández de Velasco, and his wife mistress Mencía de Mendoza.

Summary
In the late 60s, a new form of artistic expression emerged from the social discontent of the so-called lower class in cities like New York and Philadelphia. Many young people from these social strata found an outlet for expressing their ideas and messages on the walls and subway cars. In the 70s and 80s, artists sought worldwide recognition, leading traditional graffiti to evolve into postgraffiti. This work focuses on the analysis of stencil art, an artistic practice used by many creators to spread their social and artistic messages, compatible with quick execution that could avoid the punitive consequences, which are still associated with this practice. For this approach, we’ll focus on two representative figures from the international and Spanish contexts: Blek le Rat, one of the best representatives of stencil art, began creating his famous rats in Paris in the 70s, eventually producing life-sized pieces through this practice. Another artist who explored stencil art was Bàlu, who mixed the stencil art with other techniques like collage, performance, and Ready-Made, creating unique and unrepeatable works.

Summary
Political and social transformations are always related to the paths that spituality takes. In the early medieval centuries, while Christianity is getting settled, pagan ideas still remain. However, a change in perspective will gradually take place from the thirteenth century on, due to epidemics, wars and hunger, which will have an impact on society. This is why spiritualy will become stronger, as well as religius tools, because they respond to social needs.

Summary
The main objective of this Final Degree Project (TFG) is to study the Freudian concepts of the sinister and the perverse through the analysis of the work of Hans Bellmer. The main hypothesis is to affirm that Bellmer's dolls, which decompose and fuse the female body, express the Freudian death drive through the aesthetics of the perverse and sinister. It also raises the question of whether the use of the sinister and the perverse in art can be a tool of subversion and revolution by challenging social, moral and aesthetic norms and creating unrest and disruption.

Summary
In recent decades, television series have experienced a thematic and conceptual evolution that is reflected in the role of the viewer itself. There are several formulas that proposed new types of relationship between the viewer and the work. This transition, which has accelerated in recent times but has been ongoing for the last century, is evident in the comedy series, which underwent an evolution parallel to other genres but where more experimental projects were carried out. Furthermore, the autobiographical content of some of these works induces us to notice the relationship between the real and the fictitious self that the viewer perceives. In this work we will expose this evolution, which has made advances not only in contemporary audiovisual comedy but also in popular culture in general, taking as an example three comedy television series with a feminist perspective whose authors used new formulas from those mentioned. Therefore, we will address from these works the evolution of the spectator's role, the relationship between the real and the fictitious self and the configuration of the contemporary feminine self in audiovisual culture.

Summary
In the present analysis the case of religions in Türkiye will be presented. The Ottoman country will serve as an example mainly for two issues: Firstly, to see how religion benefited/affected the decisions and consequences of the various people who profess or reject it, and, secondly, the fact of showing the Turkish case. , allows us to get out of the ordinary for the West and thus be able to expand our borders in order to either help or be helped by other aspects of knowledge. Turkey is chosen for its always eternal duality and for the multiple cultures that settled there and fought for or against it. The cradle of the Ottoman Empire is taken as an example to be the replacement of the Persians and to be the maximum representative of the orientals (who want to westernize). This persistent duality leads to the relationships that develop over the centuries becoming of great interest due to the multiple perspectives of different cultures. Türkiye, eastern representative in the West, western candidate for the East.

Summary
Chile is known how one of the solidest economies of Latin America. The data of the country are very positive in a felt economic. However these good economic figures, hide the dissatisfaction of a big part of the population owed the consequences of an economic system neoliberal inherited of the dictatorship of Pinochet, where the privatization of services generated an inequality in the access to education, health, house and transport. An inequality and rift between kinds that the different democratic governments did not achieve to correct. The Social Outbreak of the year 2019 showed this situation, causing a change of government, and propiciou the beginning of one process constituent that continues in the actuality. The objective of this work, through the example of the capital of the country, is showed that the economic reality hides deep inequalities, and how the national economic data no reflexan the sad reality of an of the senior metropoles of Latin America. The opportunity to realize a year of exchange in Santiago de Chile did possible to know in depth to reality of the Chilean.

Summary
The geopolitical conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh region is a long-standing ethnic and territorial conflict dating back to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Nagorno-Karabakh, a mountainous region located within the internationally recognized borders of Azerbaijan, has been predominantly inhabited by ethnic Armenians. Following the dissolution of the USSR, tensions arose which led to a war between 1988 and 1994, resulting in the victory of the Armenians and the establishment of a self-proclaimed, internationally unrecognized republic controlled by Armenian forces. Azerbaijan lost control over Nagorno-Karabakh and several surrounding areas. Decades of negotiations mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group failed to resolve the conflict. In 2020, the conflict flared up again with an intense war, in which Azerbaijan, with Turkish support, managed to regain much of the lost territory. The conflict ended with a ceasefire agreement brokered by Russia, which deployed peacekeepers to the region. The situation remains tense, with constant ceasefire violations and an unresolved dispute over the final status of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Summary
The sector of O Carreirón, located on the Illa de Arousa, stands out for its geomorphological heritage, geodiversity, biodiversity and being a space little affected by anthropic activity, unlike the rest of the island. At present, O Carreirón has become a highly demanded space as a place of leisure (due to its granite modelling, varied coastal forms, dune vegetation and humid environments, exceptional place for bird watching, space without buildings, etc.) both for the inhabitants of the island and foreigners, producing a significant increase in visitors in the sector. Faced with this situation, and in order to take measures for the protection of the geodivesity and biodiversity of O Carreirón, in the face of the threat of tourism, the objective of this work is to value its geological/geomorphological heritage. To this end, the methodological application of the IGME is used, included in the Methodological Document for the preparation of the Spanish Inventory of Places of Geological Interest (García Cortés et al. 2018). The results obtained on its scientific, didactic and tourist-recreational value, susceptibility to degradation (fragility, natural vulnerability and vulnerability due to anthropic threats) and risk of degradation (priority of protection) allow the proposal of the O Carreirón sector as a LIG (Site of Geological/Geomorphological Interest) with an Area dimension, which houses a varied number of potential geosites. The results will help to value its natural heritage for its protection and management.

Summary
The transformation of cities in recent decades has highlighted the need to view them as living organisms in constant evolution. The current urban environment is characterized by demographic over-densification, causing urban dynamics,common to all cities, to exceed administrative-territorial limits. In this context, Galicia is no exception, as the mere presence of two territorial supra-municipal local entities (the metropolitan areas of A Coruña and Vigo) in the Autonomous Community, reflects the existing territorial reality. The urban-rural dichotomy that has characterized Galicia for several decades leaves medium-sized urban municipalities in an undefined position, with one or another function depending on their geographical location. This paper analyzes the evolution of the population dynamics of the municipality of Ponteareas, the capital of the O Condado region, which, although historically understood as the head of the region, is currently not only conditioned by the metropolitan dynamics of the Vigo Metropolitan Area, but also forms part of the Vigo functional urban area. The results obtained in this study allow us to understand what Ponteareas' role should be in the present and future, whether to continue being the urban center around which the O Condado region is articulated, or to begin the process of integration in order to become part of the Vigo Metropolitan Area.

Summary
Nowadays, geodiversity has become a source of resources for human beings, in the same way, it conditions the flora that develops in a given territory and with it its biodiversity. The aim of this work is to analyse the geodiversity of the island of Tambo, located in the estuary of Pontevedra. Historical, economic or institutional issues have led to its natural values remaining hidden. In this work it is proposed that the island be considered an Area, in which a significant number of places of geological-geomorphological interest have been differentiated. To achieve this objective, this paper applies the methodology included in the methodological document for the preparation of the Spanish Inventory of Places of Geological Interest (IELG) of the IGME (García Cortés et al., 2018). The scientific, didactic and tourist-recreational value is calculated and the places of geological-geomorphological interest on the island are selected. The assessment of susceptibility to degradation (fragility, natural vulnerability and vulnerability due to anthropic hazards) and the risk of degradation (priority of protection) of Tambo Island is calculated. The purpose is to know the potential geosites of the island, their risk of degradation and establish guidelines that allow their conservation.

Summary
This Final Degree Project deals with the issue of depopulation in Galicia from the problematic point of view with a cartographic method but also from the positive point of view of the recovery of the rural environment based on the theoretical currents of neo-ruralism and counter-urbanization. It focuses on the different rural repopulation initiatives with a fieldwork methodology in two specific cases, which are Vieiros (Lugo) and Couso (Ourense). This research is carried out with the aim of checking whether the Galician rural area has the possibility of rehabilitating itself and reversing the negative demographic dynamics in which it has been for years. It also seeks to answer the question of whether there are opportunities in rural areas for people who want to move to live in this type of place, as well as to discover the opinions of people who currently live in this situation about the initiatives that are already underway in the rural world to recover it demographically.

Summary
Santa María de Sobrado began its journey as a Cistercian monastery in 1142, establishing itself as the first settlement of the Cistercian order in the spanish kingdoms. The abbey is a great example of the reproduction of the Cistercian pattern, and the great power it achieved it is due to its efficient economic model. Through Santa María de Sobrado we will explore the reasons for considering the Cistercian arrival as a ‘colonisation’ of the Galician territory; not only because of its more than studied economic and territorial transcendence, but also from a social point of view, as an important part of the community and manorial relations in the peninsula. Finally, we will focus on the cultural activity of the monastery, trying to demonstrate that reading and written culture are intrinsic phenomena to the Cistercian group, necessary from an administrative and moral point of view, and that they have also been used to establish the legitimacy of the abbey's social position and to preserve its historical memory.

Summary
Given the concern for the social and religious context of the time, the Catholic Monarchs established the Holy Office of the Inquisition with the aim of persecuting Judaeo-Conversionist heresy, consolidating it as an instrument of control that sought to achieve the consolidation of Catholic orthodoxy in the Iberian Peninsula. As time went by, the tribunal acquired new powers and faculties, as it would no longer only harass Judaeo-Conversionist, Moorish or Protestant heresy, but would also have under its jurisdiction the persecution of the correct fulfilment of Catholic doctrine. The Inquisition used the trials to achieve the desired religious unification under Christianity, through which it sought the confession of the accused as a means of freeing their souls. The process will be the focus of the work, emphasising how the torment sessions were carried out, their purpose and the methods used, but also exposing the importance of the Auto de Fe in terms of assistance and its exemplary function.

Summary
The ultra movement is a phenomenon that revolutionized the football panorama of the second half of the 20th century. Despite the few in-depth studies that have been carried out on the radical movement among football fans, it has brought sociopolitical and violent mobilization to the sport. from the street through groups of young people who have been evolving and formalizing themselves to act, both inside the football stadium and outside, in a way that makes them look more powerful and spectacular. We will explain what we can understand as ultras since various points of view and definitions are given mainly by sociologists. We will also explain their English and Italian origins. The main basis of this Final Degree Project will be how these groups developed in Spain, from their birth and evolution, through the ideological importance that differentiates one from another, dealing mainly with social acts and demands, and we will end violence, since it is a common denominator that unites this movement, regardless of their ideology. In this journey, we do not forget the importance of youth subcultures at the moment, mainly skinheads, who are the protagonists of a political extremism that until their appearance was not so widespread.

Summary
Alfred, nicknamed the Great, was born around 850, and it was not until 871 that he became king of Wessex, a position he retained until his death in 899. During his rule he had to face the Norse incursions that threatened to conquer the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. Alfred succeeded in stemming this invading contingent through military reforms and by making agreements with the Viking leaders. In the course of his rule, other reformist projects were also carried out, such as the political and cultural reforms; the former involved the compilation of a legal code for the organization of society, the Domboc. The cultural reforms sought to educate and train the English people by recruiting educated men to translate several key works, such as Bede's Ecclesiastical History, into English. Alfred's importance lies not only in the numerous reforms he promoted, but also in his role as a figure of great importance in the consolidation of England's national sentiment, which would eventually lead to its unification. Finally, over time, we can observe, in historiography, how the figure of this king varies over the periods, with his moment of greatest apogee being the Victorian period, while nowadays his figure has only been rescued due to the rise of the Nordic theme in audiovisual products.

Summary
The present work addresses the question of the megalithic tumular phenomenon, in the spatial framework of the peninsular atlantic arc, and the reuse of these sites during the different subsequent stages of History. To achieve this, sources belonging to different temporalities were used, to try to understand the reinterpretations and considerations towards these constructions; with also more recent works, focused on why these societies know and manipulate these sites. These studies are accompanied by examples where this reuse became effective in fields such as political, religious or ideological. Finally, the work has a section dedicated to case studies of some megalithic sites that, at some point in their history, were modified and used by human groups later than the prehistoric authors themselves. The objective of the essay tries to demonstrate the importance of these constructions, even in the most recent mentality, the process of reappropriation and remodeling to which many were subjected, and the role that these sites had in forging an interest in the past and the origin of the human raze in all societies throughout history.

Summary
Along with the construction of the liberal-bourgeois state in the contemporary Europe, we find the formation of a new dimension of monarchical figures as ideal representatives of hegemonic values in society. This becomes even more evident in the case of the queens in the context of the transition between the 19th and 20th centuries, where lots of historical processes, such as the development of the feminist fight or the inclusion of women in the world of work, ended up breaking with the nineteenth-century sexual hierarchy and, therefore, with the ‘angel of the house’. Thus a new model of hegemonic femininity was born for the beginning of the 20th century. The mediatization of monarchical figures, as well as their iconic representativeness, allow these sociocultural transformations to be channeled through their social projection. It is therefore that this Final Degree Project is presented as an analysis of the transformation of the feminine ideal in Spain between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th through the representativeness of María Cristina de Habsburgo-Lorena (1858-1929) and Victoria Eugenia de Battenberg (1887-1969). This will be exposed through its adjustment to the gender patterns of its contemporaneity, the relationship of this with its personal, sometimes dissident, presence, or its importance as a study method of the history of women in Spain.

Summary
The object of this dissertation is to present a study about the feeling of fear inside of the medieval mentality, accomplished by the analysis of the medieval society from the tenth to twelfth centuries, focusing especially on the influence and reflection of this feeling on the literary sources of the period, in addition of the implication on another areas of society such as violence, power or religion. In addition, we will also try to stablish a different dimension about fear, focused on the individual perspective, making a more intimate and personal approach on fear, covering themes such as the implications of some beliefs such as the Great Beyond, supernatural creatures or another elements as well as illnesses or aggressions.

Summary
This paper seeks to understand historical and social aspects of contemporary Latin America based on reggaeton as a cultural product. Culture and art in all their expressions, in this case, music, have a lot to say about how people create and consume a certain type of music, how they relate to each other and to the world around them. For this reason, through sound, visual and discursive elements we will try to approach the historical and social information that it can give us: long-term historical issues such as racial, socioeconomic, political, national, identity and gender issues. In other words, the social subjects who create and project these messages will be taken as the object of analysis, and we will analyze how they try to reproduce ideas, values and experiences, which they understand as their own and that make up their identity. In addition, we cannot forget reggaeton and its sound and visual discursive elements, taking into account that they are cultural products, they are part of History, and as part of it they are not immobile blocks, but present their own evolution.

Summary
On 22 June 1941, Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa. This marked the beginning of the German-Soviet conflict, which developed into an all-out war involving millions of combatants and some of the bloodiest episodes in human history. The best known of these was undoubtedly the Jewish Holocaust. The first thing that comes to mind when we think of it is the Nazi concentration camps, forgetting that a more personal violence took place previously, in which the perpetrators came face to face with their victims and carried out mass executions. This role was taken on by the SS-Einsatzgruppen, deployment groups whose aim was to put down possible Jewish-instigated uprisings and which became the first phase of the so-called Final Solution. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse who these men were, the motivations behind their actions, and the psychological consequences of their actions. This will be accompanied by a brief overview of their activities and actions, as well as an explanation of what their mission was and how they acted.

Summary
This study formulates an analysis of masculinities and femininities linked to the exercise of the power of kings and queens during the first half of the 15th century, from a comparative perspective between the kingdoms of Castile and Portugal. For this, attention will be paid both to the patterns of behaviour and to the expressiveness of emotions, through which to understand the construction of the structures of monarchical power, parallel to the rules of relationship between the sexes. The starting point will be an study of the normative models of men and women, reflected in moral treatises inserted in the context of the Querelle des Femmes. From here, the standards of conduct will be contrasted with the performance of the kingly and queenly roles described in the chronicles, seeking commonalities and alterations between both.

Summary
In this project, a patrimonial and archaeological research focused on a parish from northern Galicia as an example of potenciality of microlocal perspective for the gathering of new historical information in the field of study was done. Specifically, this project analyzes the current state of both archaeological heritage and it´s investigation in the parish Santalla de Cervo (Cedeira, A Coruña). It is made a link between local studies and those investigations wich involve the entirety of the galician region. Various methodologies are combined, not only with the intent of contemplating previous works, but also to show how much is still to be investigated in local studies for it to be used as base information for general archaeology. Those methodologies are these four ones: bibliography consulting, toponimic study, oral history and the in-location inspection of the archaeological sites. As a final product of this project, an actualized archaeological inventory was creates. This inventory, more than just a plain list of site names, comes in a more complete in the form of appendixes, as index cards for each site.

Summary
The Mycenaean civilization is, together with its cousin the Minoan, the first example of state political organization in European history, embedded in the Middle and Late Bronze Age, its apogee coincides with a moment of boiling and interconnection throughout the Eastern Mediterranean area. The role played by war, the martial, in the genesis and disappearance of war around the year 1200 is still the subject of debate among experts in mycenaeology. From the study of the documentation of the Lineal B, passing through the archaeological record and the documentation of the entities of their immediate environment (Egypt and the New Hittite Kingdom) this work aims to establish the guidelines of the military organization of these kingdoms, the role that the martial field would play in society and finally, try to shed some light both on the relations with the rest of nearby civilizations and on the end of it.

Summary
During the Cold War, culturaldvertising emerged as a crucial component of the rivalry between the two superpowers. Beyond diplomacy and military alliances, both the United States and the Soviet Union employed culture as a tool to gain global influence and shape public perception. The Congress for Cultural Freedom, funded indirectly by the CIA, was the platform used by the United States to launch its cultural offensive. Among its key actions was the sponsorship of magazines with the aim of promoting an anticommunist, pro-Western and democratic worldview. In this context, Cadernos was the Spanish-language magazine created by the Congress for its activities in Latin America. The publication tackled topics like the 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état and the Cuban Revolution, interpreting these events from a US-centric perspective. It also had to navigate a continent where anti-American sentiment was on the rise.

Summary
The Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy defines Art as Manifestation of human activity through which what is real is interpreted or what is imagined is captured with plastic resources, either linguistic or sound. Therefore, what are the implications of manifesting, of activity, of capturing? Which ones are real, imaginary or linguistic? What is human? We will address these related matters in this report to try and clarify the nature, intention and purpose of graphic expressions from prehistory that have come to us with the name of art and that represent a paradigm for the projection, study and knowledge of the genre Homo and its footprint over time. Determining what information we can obtain from them, beyond direct evidence, through the cognitive study of various findings, will be the guiding thread of the work in order to clarify what it meant for the communities related to the milestones to be studied as well as the inherent capacities and implications to the very fact of establishing a certain imprint. To fulfill this objective, we will focus the analysis on a geometric ideomorphic pattern formed by crisscrossed parallel lines or grid that has been refined and varying its morphology over time and space, as well as its meaning.

Summary
This final task aims to analyze the life of gladiators in ancient Rome, from their arrival at the ludus to their release, whether it was death in the arena or the delivery of the rudis. The study analyses their figure both in the Republican and Imperial periods and offers a diachronic comparison for the contemporary period, as we must not forget that this subject attracts masses of readers and spectators interested in gladiators. Throughout the work, the same question always arises: how did slaves manage to have such an impact on the society to which they were contemporaries? Their fame was unrivalled, they were idolised and desired by the people, even by upper class aristocrats. Gladiatorial combats were the most eagerly awaited spectacle, so that their influence reached the political spheres. Throughout the work, the relationship of the gladiator with the Roman elite, and in particular with the emperors, is reflected upon. Examples as Cómodo or Nerón will be mentioned, as they will undoubtedly go down in history. The work focuses on the study of classical sources, with a chronological review from the 6th century BC to the 5th century AD.

The work focuses on the study of classical sources, with a chronological review from the 6th century BC to the 5th century AD.

Summary
the tearm cover was born with the arrival of the Romanesque to Galicia through the Compostela cathedral, with the projection to the outside of the religious sculpture in the area of the tympanum as a privileged place for the representation of narrative programs. These functioned as a illustrated book for the faithful for catechizing purposes. An emptying of the tympanums presented in the volumes of the provinces of the Encyclopedia of the Romanesque in Galicia will be made, exposing the limited figurations that occur in the Galician rural Tympanums, Sansón removing the lion´s jaw, Agnus Dei or scenes of minstrelsy. Specifically investigating ecclesiastical iconography, less studied in Galician Romanesque rural imagery. This study will be carried out using the examples proposed by the inventory carried out throughout the aforementioned volumes, San Xiao de Moraime, San Paio de Muradelle, Santa Maria de Fragas, San Martiño de Moaña, Santiago de Requeixo and Santa Comba de Trebled.

Summary
In this final degree project, the framework is compiled through the Holy Scriptures and the studies of Christian theologians, encompassing the religious and theological backbone, as well as the social and artistic consequences of our Catholic tradition. The contrast between the Protestant and Catholic visions will be the axis of the comparative study of the sacraments and their consequences, from the end of Late Medival ages to the present day. It is a brief journey with the aim of highlighting how religion creates a cultural psychology and, as cultural, collective, explaining behaviors that would normally be considered dissident (heresies, anthropophagy, self-injurious behaviors...), but which nonetheless occur as a consequence of Divine Law itself. To exemplify the presented theory we take various art pieces that show the behaviors regarding human flesh in hospitals, the Eucharistic rationale, the saints and their martyrdoms, and the view of these issues in the reformist sphere are used (with the United States as an example due to its purely Protestant foundation). Additionally, it discusses how the material characteristic of the Catholic religion has influenced our consciences and our view of the body in both its own right and in otherness (both divine and profane).

Summary
Francisco de Goya y Luciente’s life was marked by a series of ailments that affected his physical and mental state of health, leading to a significant change in his artistic style towards a more introspective, dark and sombre style of painting, reflecting his state of mind and his new perception of the world. It was this condition of weakness that influenced the emotional content of his works, awakening within him and attraction to explore darker aspects such as death, madness, witchcraft, superstition and human decadence. In the last years of his life, his work became more expressive and his Black paintings, a reflection of his ability to convey the deepest and most disturbing emotions despite his health difficulties, wich failed to dampen his determination and passion of art.

Summary
This monographic work focuses on the figure of Martha Rosler and her long life trajectory of protest and political critique. In her work, she gives voice to various realities, combining multiple contemporary struggles and concerns and, therefore, being the example of the importance of their union. The American artist is known for focusing on aspects such as space, the fusion of the private and the public, and the domestic and the political, within these realities. To delve deeper into her figure, this monograph investigates issues such as the context that conditions Rosler’s work; her artistic and political references, visible in her applied and theoretical work; and the evolution and characteristics of a trajectory spanning more than fifty years, in which the examination of mass culture, its language, and its media is a constant. With these aspects in mind, an analysis of various works by the creator is conducted, seeking thematic and medium variety. Finally, a recapitulation is made on the impact and reception of her work

In Ovid's Metamorphoses, punishments play a fundamental role, as they are a tool used by the gods to impart justice. These usually take the form of physical transformations, serving as a tool with which to explore morality and justice. It allows us to explore the religious and cultural beliefs of antiquity, but above all, it is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists, due to the rich imagery of both transformations and punishments, along with the exploration of human nature. It is an important narrative tool that allows the exploration of various themes and has been an enduring source of inspiration for artists throughout history and will continue to be present in art.

Summary
Ocularcentrism is a phenomenon that, throughout history, has defined culture and society in various aspects at the expense of neglecting the other senses of the human body that make up perception. This phenomenon has long been manifested in architecture, thus modifying and conditioning the relationship between humans and space. Architecture, in the context of the rise of capitalism and ocularcentrism, has seen its creative possibilities reduced to the role of designing image-structures that have managed to distance humans from their relationship with the world. In contrast, traditional Japanese domestic architecture serves as an example of what architecture should be, conscious of its role.

Summary
The evolution of Egyptian pyramids reflects significant architectural and religious development from predynastic times to conventional pyramids. Beginning with simple tombs, funerary structures evolved into mastabas during the first two dynasties. A significant advancement occurred with the step pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara, designed by Imhotep at the start of the Third Dynasty. It marked the first monumental use of stone. Although the pyramids of Sneferu were overshadowed by the fame of the Giza pyramids, the pharaoh spearheaded a series of crucial architectural innovations. He was involved in the construction of four pyramids, erecting the first smooth-sided pyramid and setting the standards for the typology of funerary complexes and pyramid architecture. This reflected the divine power of the pharaoh and the culmination of centuries of technical and religious refinement.

One of the main concerns plaguing society and the environment is climate change and the associated impacts. Since these first decades of the twenty-first century, there has been numerous academic and institutional support, that encourages the implementation of various adaptation measures. Lately, these adaptation measures are the ones that are most tried to be implemented through the institutions, sice they offer a succession of advantages over mitigation measures, but without detracting from the latter, since they also have their weight within the matter. This work seeks to present a climate analysis of the City Council of A Coruña (Galicia, NW of the Iberian Peninsula), observing the trends that exist in recent decades on climate values and indicators, which will help to interpret the changes that occur. When the data are taken, an attempt will be made to seek lines of action in relation to adaptation measures in the face of changes that occur in temperatures (mainly maximun and minimun) and extreme phenomena.

Summary
After years of being an active subject of mobility in the Ferrol estuary and comparing it with other realities, the hypothesis was reached that, although it has positive aspects, there is room for improvement. In order to understand this situation, a mixed methodology was used in this study. First, quantitative methods were used to analyse the infrastructures (stations, stops, buses, trains, etc.) and services (frequencies, timetables, routes, etc.), both internal and external, of land and maritime public transport along the municipalities that have a coastline on the aforementioned estuary. On the other hand, a qualitative methodology has been used in order to find out what are the characteristics and what is the vision of the residents and users, carrying out two strategies, on the one hand, interviews and, on the other hand, participant observation. The study also includes a section with a bibliographical review of the literature on mobility, as well as a review of the policy instruments at different scales that play a relevant role in the object of this analysis. Thus, this research concludes that, although there are infrastructures and services that assist the population of the area, it is still necessary to continue improving them and to ensure a greater connection with the citizens.

Summary
This work studies the importance of education when disseminating and informing society about the values of geological and geomorphological heritage. To this end, the degree of knowledge of the students and teachers of the Quiroga region about the concept of geodiversity was analysed, as well as the great scientific and social value of the Courel Mountains Geopark following a mixed methodology of qualitative and quantitative techniques. This analysis consisted of an approach to the identity of a singular territory in geological terms and the perception that the local population has of that singularity through interviews and surveys. Firstly, the primary and secondary school students were defined as the sample, and the secondary school teachers were defined as the target group for carrying out the surveys, in the same way that the promoters and managers of the geopark were the target of the interviews. Secondly, the information obtained was compiled ito extract from it a series of blocks that the population interprets as fundamental when expressing their understanding about geodiversity and its importance in the region. Finally, the results obtained with the definition of geomorphological heritage were put into context to discuss whether education is transmitting the importance of valuing and conserving these assets, and whether the figure of geopark is achieving its informative and energizing objectives in the Courel.

Summary
The historic center of Santiago de Compostela, a world heritage site, was an example of pedestrianization for many historic cities in the State. Governed by a special municipal planning plan, practically its entire interior is a pedestrian island in the center of Santiago de Compostela. But when you leave through the main gates of its old wall, towards the center of the city, the panorama is very different. We found a two-way road with very poor sidewalks. The predominance of space by the automobile is total on this border between the old town and the expansion of the 60s. The medieval wall has disappeared, but today, there is another barrier that prevents effective communication between these large areas of the city center. The old zone and the new zone, as they are popularly known, coexist with their backs turned. One way to reconcile these two central spaces of the city, so that economic dynamics benefit and mix, also relieving tourist pressure on the historic center, would be to recover pedestrian connectivity between these two spaces. Make the border between the historic area and the new area more imperceptible, more porous for people. And to achieve this it is necessary to recover the public space given over to the automobile, reduce the volume of traffic and expand the walkable areas, eliminating the road traffic axis that crosses the city from north to south through its center. The creation of greener cities, with sustainable mobility, is one of the most important challenges for cities in the UN sustainable development goals. European laws and administrations seek to create more sustainable cities, with common spaces for people that are healthier, improve quality of life and are more resilient to climate change. With this mobility plan for the restructuring of traffic and classification of public space, we aim to create convenient and comfortable pedestrian routes, with sustainable mobility, that connect the central expansion of Santiago with the access doors to the old town, maintaining a quality public transport service. Achieve sustainable mobility in the city center, with public spaces that invite leisure, meeting and cooperation, which help increase the quality of life of the inhabitants. Recover the necessary public space, currently occupied by the car, for pedestrian and cyclist mobility, with spaces shared with motor vehicles, following the recommendations of the Guide to public spaces and friendly mobility from Pontevedra and the new ideas on shared space of Hans Monderman. The creation of greener quality public spaces, where people can express themselves, meet and enjoy the city comfortably, and for this it is essential to reduce the number of vehicles and their occupation of space, reduce polluting gases and increase the space dedicated to people, maintain effective routes for vehicle access to the downtown parking lots, eliminating the Virxe da Cerca and Rosalía de Castro variant. Citizens have the right to move freely and comfortably through the city, but in addition, the urban space must be multimodal, it must provide the opportunity for quality sustainable mobility and it must also be the place of social relations and citizen expression, which helps to strengthen emotional and community ties. With this proposed we seek to increase the quality of life of the inhabitants of the city of Santiago by transforming the urban space of the urban expansion, connecting it with the old town.
The historic center of Santiago de Compostela, a world heritage site, was an example of pedestrianization for many historic cities in the State. Governed by a special municipal planning plan, practically its entire interior is a pedestrian island in the center of Santiago de Compostela. But when you leave through the main gates of its old wall, towards the center of the city, the panorama is very different. We found a two-way road with very poor sidewalks. The predominance of space by the automobile is total on this border between the old town and the expansion of the 60s.

Summary
Housing shortage has been a problem in Spain, particularly during the Franco regime due to the aggravation of the problem. In this paper we will discuss the main social housing policies adopted by the State during the first stage of the regime (1939-1959), as well as the politicization behind the housing issue. In addition, we will address the existing limitations behind the measures employed, as well as the phenomenon of shanty construction resulting from the intensification of this shortage due to the rural exodus.

Summary
The Visitation is an image loaded with love, sisterhood, and symbolism in which the tastes of a society, its thoughts, and its morals are reflected. Throughout the centuries, its portrayal has been evolving, not only in the clothing worn, colours, or fabrics but also in the way of depicting that embrace and characterizing the Virgin Mary and Saint Elizabeth. In this study, ten images from the period have been gathered, and through them, we will examine the ruptures and continuities in fashion and in the way they are represented. Although our focus will be on the Late Middle Ages, we will trace back to the Romanesque period to illustrate the changes and the emergence of fashion, not just in attire, between the 13th and 14th centuries, attire that was identical for both men and women, to an anatomical fashion in the Gothic era, which was tight and intricate. Perhaps this style isn't as apparent in our protagonists as it was in society. Since they are divine beings representing power, this status will be reflected in them, distancing them from the society that adores them while still wearing some of its garments.

Summary
Throughout this study, we will analyze marriage, its forms, and its consolidation in Peninsular society during the 14th and 15th centuries, considering the way it has transcended from being regarded as a mere union to becoming a fundamental pillar of the family nucleus and a representation of the relationship between the Church and God in daily life. This research will be conducted from an essentially social perspective, investigating the implications of imposed family structures on the lifestyle and mentalities of the Iberian Peninsula during the late medieval centuries. We will examine the process of legitimization of marriage from the religious sphere to the legislative sphere, delving into the various contexts of the late medieval Peninsula to understand the social and economic implications of this union. Additionally, we will scrutinize the rights and obligations associated with marriage and the opportunities and challenges individuals face upon the dissolution of this union, originally conceived as sacred and indissoluble.

Summary
In our dissertation, we analyze several aspects of the processes of violence unleashed as a result of the coup d'état of July 18, 1936. This study, geographically framed in the municipality of Arteixo (A Coruña), focuses primarily on identifying the actors involved in the murders and in describing their trajectories, as well as the dynamics of their participation in the massacres. On the other hand, the behaviours and attitudes of society are also examined through their participation in the different military trials that were conducted, in order to know what role citizens played in relation to the expansion of violence.

Summary
The present work will address the question of power in the Galician nobility environment in the Low Middle Ages, focusing on the way attributions are projected on society in a public way. For this, the main areas in which it is observed will be treated. We will begin with the demonstrations of this in the titles, responsibilities, and positions granted in these years, in addition to analyzing how the main families managed to achieve great rise on the political level of this time, managing to stay in a position of superiority concerning the rest of the population. We will also study how these nobles are going to deal with constructing one more projection of their power in social relations, carrying out on numerous occasions relations of supremacy and subordination, which benefited this estate, in addition to also building beneficial relationships for both parts, as with the crown. We will continue with the analysis of these manifestations of nobility power in cultural activities such as writing or funeral activities, in addition to addressing more material issues, such as their buildings or the heraldry issue. Finally, we will observe the projection of power in the final years of this Low Middle Ages due to the importance of the Irmandiño issue, analyzing how this nobility estate managed to quell the revolt and survive it.

Summary
This work deals with the repression exercised by the Franco regime since the victory of the rebel side in the Civil War (1936-1939) and the subsequent post-war period, focusing on the area of the province of A Coruña based on the different works that talk about the repression suffered in the area. To carry out the work, different bibliographical works on repression, the Franco regime and the civil war have been used; such as an article on the Civil War by Julio Aróstegui, works such as Lo que han hecho en Galicia: Violencia, represión exilio (1936-1939) coordinated by Jesús de Juan López and Julio Prada, where authors such as Xosé Manuel Núñez, Miguel Cabo write or Emilio Grandío. The methodology used to carry out the work consisted of reading the different bibliographical works for subsequent selection of the element most in line with the objectives of the work. The main objective is to compile the most important elements of the repression in the A Coruña province. With this objective, the aim is to compile the different sides that opposed the dictatorship and the methods of repression used by the regime. The result obtained is an analysis of the different means of repression that the Franco regime used to eliminate its opponents, and also an analysis of the different forces that opposed the regime in the area of A Coruña in its beginnings.

Summary
The modern era of piracy, which occurred between the 16th and 19th centuries, was a fascinating period in maritime history. Famous pirates like Blackbeard and Anne Bonny plundered merchant ships and colonies in the seas. These individuals emerged in response to geopolitical tensions and wars among European nations, exploiting the weakness of security in international waters. The rivalry between privateers and fleets of maritime powers such as England, Spain, and France contributed to the rise of piracy. Although some were ruthless criminals, others became cultural legends, challenging authority and embodying a spirit of freedom that still resonates in popular imagination.

Summary
The medieval cartographic discipline combines a whole range of characteristics that make it unique and provide information quality. This paper explores its meanings by analyzing some of the common factors in representations of the European Middle Ages, with the aim of highlighting their interest as legitimating products of their time and place and, therefore, as a resource of historical memory. For this, the study of the most relevant cartographic sources of each period and their iconographic comparative is essential, since they warn about the exegesis that can be extracted from the figurative scope of diagrams and mappaemundi. The monitoring of the cartographic panorama between the 5th and 15th centuries also allows a comprehensive assessment of its influences, evolution and interests, and of the connections between each epoch and the existing social, political and religious implications. Its relevance is sufficient to convert the conjunctural terms of each cartographic production into a whole structural network that allows to transfer the contemporary mentality to both the worldview and the daily life of medieval society, according to their perception of the world, beliefs, relationships and even conflicts.

Summary
During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), political, social and economic changes took place in the republican zone which can be described as revolutionary because of their depth and because they were due to the position of power in which the revolutionary organisations (anarchists and socialists) were left in those areas where they had managed to defeat the military rebels with their weapons in July 1936, and the consequent weakness of the republican state. In this paper we will examine the economic aspect of that revolution, the most tangible manifestation of which were the collectivisations that the trade unions and revolutionary parties promoted both in the industries and services of the cities and towns and in agriculture and livestock farming in the countryside, where the majority of the Spanish workforce worked at the time. We will analyse the various aspects involved in this subject, from the theoretical approaches of its promoters and the practical background to the opposition it aroused, including its implementation, day-to-day functioning and internal and external problems, focusing on the regions of Catalonia, Aragon and Castile-La Mancha, due to the different characteristics of the collectivisation process in these areas.

Founded in 1905 as a small nationalist party that sought to achieve the independence of Ireland through passive resistance and the implementation of a dual monarchy, Sinn Féin did not manage to consolidate itself as a true political force in pre-WW1 Ireland, and it seemed like it would end up disappearing without a trace. However, its misidentification by the public as the organization behind the Easter Rising of 1916 turned it into the common platform of Irish republicanism, and in the following years it would suffer a total conversion, transforming into a mass party that would lead the fight for independence in the Anglo-Irish War, before dividing itself into rival factions during the Irish Civil War and falling once again into ignominy. In this project we shall seek to analyse the context in which it first appeared, its birth, rise and downfall, the political transformations it experienced and the legacy it left in the new, independent Ireland, and we shall examine as well its composition, ideology and the reasons that led to its triumph.

Summary
The central theme of this work will be the existence of sex education within the Castilian Court, through which different educational models will be created for children depending on the tasks they will perform in the future. Thanks to the study of the production of speculative literature, based on the creation of an ideal of a ruler, we will see the differences in the education of men and women, and how femininity and masculinity are configured based on the type of education offered. In addition, it will allow to explore the limits of each model, understanding that gender must be complemented by other categories such as social position.

Summary
The present Bachelor´s Thesis aims to examine the status of women in the Andean Region prior to the arrival of the Spanish to the American continent. It will primarily focus on the Chavín, Moche, Lambayeque and Inca cultures, using archaeology, iconography, and myths and legends preserved in the collective memory as main sources. The methodology of gender archaeology will be used to highlight the role of the Andean women as historical agents, in addition to their political, social, and religious contributions to these societies. Thus, the goal is to provide a deeper understanding of women´s positions in the social structures of the Andean Region, offering a more detailed insight into their influence and participation in various aspects of the cultural and communal life of the region.

Summary
This research deals with the existing links and influences between the extensive artistic production of Salvador Dalí (Catalan painter, who belonged to the surrealist style of the 20th century) and the great Renaissance masters (such as Raphael, Arcimboldo, Michelangelo and Bosch, among others). To do so, I have used both primary and secondary sources. Among the primary sources, I would like to highlight in a significant way Dalí's own autobiography, The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí (1942), which provided me with a very interesting approach and interviews with the author himself; and secondary sources that involve an interpretation of the artist's texts and artworks. To accomplish this project, I have carriedout an extensive research different resources comparing and databases. The main purpose of the search, was to find the most relevant information and link it with the main themes I am interested in. After comparing different information sources, I have identified several artists, works of art and eras that have had an impact on Salvador Dalí´s surreal style. The aim of all this was to record the obvious links existing between Salvador Dalí and his great predecessors in the field of the plastic arts. Despite the fact that Dalí perceives himself and was considered by society as an artist who broke with tradition, the truth is that it is more of a conceptual than a plastic break, as he has numerous references, among which the sources of classical art at the plastic level stand out.

Summary
The Castle of Love is an iconographic theme that has been present in the medieval plastic arts for over 300 years. Its greatest expansion and diffusion have traditionally been linked to the Parisian workshops working with ivory, strongly influencing the iconographic project of courtly literature and morals that developed in Western Europe from the 13th century onwards. This work analyzes the development and characteristics of the Castle of Love in the plastic arts of the 14th century, the influence of courtly literature on its representation, and how this iconography manifests in different artistic media such as miniatures, festivities, and ivory objects. Through a detailed review of primary and secondary sources, the key iconographic elements such as the castle, the ladies, the flowers, and the knights are explored, and this theme is contextualized within the social, political, and religious changes of medieval Europe. Additionally, the evolution of the representation of femininity and the influence of courtly literature on the iconography of the Castle of Love are examined.

Summary
This paper’s aim is an approach to three different artistic practices that took place in Compostela’s asylum, Conxo’s Psychiatric Hospital. Their dialogues with the artistic and psychiatric institutions, with taxonomies such as the mad and the ill, as well as with the center’s history and idiosyncrasy will be the main examined points. The analysis will start off with an overview on the artistic and historical context, together with some brief notions on critical theory on psychiatry and the mad. Afterwards, the multidisciplinary artists collective A Caron’s practices and collaborations with interns through the mid 70s, the photographs taken there by the catalan artist Anna Turbau in 1977, and the publishing of an intern’s made fanzine, Carne Negra, in 2004, will be explored. The subject matter’s analysis will be complemented as well with the intern’s testimonies, be it through letters, personal diaries or recovered interviews.

Summary
Helga de Alvear, born Helga Müller on September 7, 1936 in Kirn, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, lived a childhood marked by World War II. Her interest in art began early, collecting gemstones in her hometown. This early encounter with abstract forms influenced his future passion for contemporary art. After studying in Lausanne and London, she moved to Spain in 1957, where she met architect Jaime de Alvear, whom she married in 1959. Their marriage facilitated her integration into the Spanish artistic circle. In 1967, Helga opened her first gallery in Madrid, focusing on contemporary and emerging art. Her gallery became a reference for contemporary art in our country, promoting national and international artists. The crisis of the art market in the 1990s did not stop her efforts, and in 2006 she created the Helga de Alvear Foundation to manage her growing collection. The culminating project of her career was the Helga de Alvear Museum in Cáceres, inaugurated in 2010 in the Casa Grande and expanded in 2020 with a new building designed by Mansilla and Tuñón Arquitectos. This museum not only houses her immense collection, but also seeks to educate and connect the community with contemporary art through exhibitions and workshops.

Summary
Should we observe the art of the Romanesque period, one of the most abundant motifs in corbels, capitals and doorways are the diverse figures interpreted as representations of lust. To investigate these complex images, this study starts from a theoretical base in its first sections, aimed at exploring the historical and moral perspectives of sin during the Middle Ages. The main part of this work focuses on lust and it dives into the artistic field, addressing both its iconography and its iconology, with the aim of proposing and unraveling alternative meanings. From mermaids and centaurs to women giving birth, a multitude of scenes and characters have been interpreted as manifestations of lust. In this context, the iconic figure of the “femme aux serpents” stands as its maximum expression and, therefore, as the central protagonist of this study.

Summary
Born in Pontecesures, the Galician painter Carlos Maside produced throughout his career abundant works influenced by the most famous avant-garde movements in Europe. Thanks to the grants given by institutions such as the 'Deputación de Pontevedra' Maside went to Paris, where he got in touch with these movements. He and other authors such as Arturo Souto or Manuel Torres formed the group known as ‘Os Novos’. These painters were the ones who introduced the news from the European avant-garde into the Galician art scene. Throughout his life Maside interacted with an intellectual environment, both during his stay in Madrid and in the different Galician cities where he lived. He also worked with different newspapers and magazines such as 'El Pueblo Gallego' and 'Vida Gallega' and took part in gatherings in different cafés, apart from teaching at the 'Escuela de Artes y Oficios' in Santiago and at the 'Instituto de Noia' in Vigo. Despite Maside's use of these modern painting languages, the subjects of his paintings and prints are usually related to popular scenes from the Galician tradition or to criticisms of the political and social situation in Spain. Throughout this study we will analyse his life and work, focusing on the influence of four avant-garde movements: Cubism, Expressionism, Post-Impressionism and Fauvism.

Summary
The gardens of Buen Retiro, in Madrid, are an emblematic green space with a rich and diverse history. Its historical-artistic evolution reflects changing trends and tastes over the centuries. Initially conceived, in the seventeenth century, as a recreational space for Spanish royalty, the gardens adopted the Baroque style, with elements such as statues, fountains and geometric flowerbeds. During the reign of Philip IV remarkable structures are built, which we conserve today, as the big pond. In the eighteenth century, with the arrival of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain with Philip V, changes were introduced inspired by the French style, with more symmetrical designs based on the ruler and compass, although retaining baroque elements and introducing the Rococo style. In the nineteenth century, during the reign of Elizabeth II, there is a major renovation under the influence of English landscaping, marked by the introduction of natural areas, winding paths and a greater integration of nature. In the twentieth century the garden underwent various transformations, including adaptation to different styles such as neoclassical and modernism. Today, the gardens of Buen Retiro continue to be an important tourist destination and a vital space for locals, fusing its rich history with the contemporary life of the city.

Summary
The Spanish monarchy naval supply policy in 18th has been definied by a context of institutional reformism and internal reconfiguration of the monarchy looking for an effective State and administrative centralization, directed by the new Bourbon dynasty and whose naval reforms came headed by new minister José Patiño from the Navy and Indias Secretary, materialized with the enact of the Navy Ordinances in 1717, by which all existing naval forces were standardized into a single Navy. The historiographic discussion, strongly influenced by the british historian Irvin A. Thompson theses in his monograph War and Decadence (1560-1620), faced with the contributions of several reference authors such as Rafael Torres Sánchez or María Baudot Monroy for 18th investigations. The objective will be to analyze, through the main supply goods, the changes adopted in the naval supply policy throughout the 18th, relationships between private contracts and the State and the reasons which motivated the coexistence and determination between two supply systems at the service of the monarchy to secure the supply.

Summary
The present study is a compilation of a series of evidences paleopalynological, artistic, archaeological, ethnomycological and theoretical, that were being developed during the XX century and with a continuum in the present and from which it´s attempted to answer questions as the antiquity of the use of entheogenic fungi or if certain forms of prehistorical parietal art, in this case European but with the possibility of being useful for the rest of the world, are in fact the result of entheogens, be it from fungal origin or another type. An emphasis will be placed on the need for the use of proofs that go beyond ethnomycology, ethnoarchaeology, genetics or more abstract theoretical questions, as can be the neuropsychological theory of trance; to prove their use. In this study this will be achieved through the construction of a database of the existing evidence that are fixed on the material as can be fungal spores, their carpophores, or other indicators of their consumption, that until the present have been found on the archaeological register of the Iberian Peninsula. The analysis of the existing bibliography will also be a fundamental part of this study. From this it will be concluded that more investigation is needed in this field as the information that the study of fungi can provide goes further than the use of certain species as entheogens or their influence in the human mind, as many others provide concrete information about the past that would stay hidden otherwise.

This Spanish-language magazine was distributed in forty countries, becomin a symbol of cultural resistance against the dictatorship. Despite its popularity, its conditions were quite limited due to exile. Nonetheless, this magazine managed to create a network of sociability among intellectuals, enabling the best latinoamerican artists of the time to connect and maintain a continuous dialogue within the magazine, preserving the collective memory of Chilean exile. Because of this, it achieved considerable internactional resonance.

Summary
The Soutomaior family was one of the leading families in late medieval Galician history, as well as the paradigmatic example of the life and ideals of the Iberian nobility. All members of their lineage, to a greater or lesser extent, had a notable impact on the history of the kingdom by occupying the main positions of political and religious power, which in turn provided an essential economic endowment for the survival of the house. Their control over their fiefs and possessions, strict and violent, is manifested through powerful and cruel figures such as Pedro Madruga. Moreover, in warfare, they acted as true warlords who commanded their powerful knights in significant conflicts such as the Irmandiño uprising, the border war between Castile and Portugal, the struggle among lords, or the dispute for control of the kingdom.

Summary
This work analyzes the living standars of the workers of A Coruña in one stage of industrialization, showing us the capacities and resources that these workers could obtain from their salary income, as well as their purchasing power from the main consumer goods, following the prices of the most necesary and consumed products. From the statistical sources that show us these economic data on prices and wages, we try to comment from a social and economic level on the level of subsistence that A Coruña´s family had, taking into account the two main sources of income in marriage: the man and woman, without leaving aside the contribution of the last part, which in Galician territory would have a crucial importance to complement that of the breadwinner that was atributed to the husband. The fact of focusing on this initial third of the 20th century, in addition to the urban and economic boom in which the city because it coincided nationally and internationally with a period of also historical and social ups and downs, such as the world was between 1914 and 1919 and that help us to see the diferent evolutions and comparisons with the the Spanish panorama.

Summary
Ecclesiastical institutions have been centers of great power and presence in the society and territory of the Galician Middle Ages. In this work we will examine the impact that the domain of the Caaveiro monastery has had on its surroundings during the 11th and 13th centuries. We will analyze, from the references of the existing historiography, and from a review of edited sources, its expansion process, the implications that the establishment of its coto has had, and the relationships with other agents in the environment. A process and institution through which we will attend to the manifestation of feudal relationships in the society of medieval Galicia.

Summary
When analysing the women of the towns of the Ría de Arousa at the end of the Ancien Régime, we find people who, affected by the high male emigration characteristic of this area, had to assume on numerous occasions the responsibility of raising both themselves and their families. In this way, we can see a multitude of arousás working in various works simultaneously. Despite the fact that in this research the focus has been placed on tasks more directly related to the sea, we cannot forget other jobs in which they were involved, such as the textile sector, beyond agriculture, livestock or the trade of different products. At the same time, issues designed by and for men, such as the imposition of the Sea´s Enrollment, had repercussions on the lives of the arousás, the schools were exposed to losing their male relatives, who left for the Royal Service, and then did not receive (or received surprisingly late) the economic compensation for the death or disability of these that corresponded to them by law, further complicating their livelihood prospects.

Summary
Santa María de Montederramo, a Cistercian abbey in the diocese of Ourense, has an extensive collection of medieval documents, very suitable for approaching the written culture of the region to which it belongs, Terra de Caldelas, in the 15th century. The purpose of this paper is to study, based on the surviving diplomas of the monastic archive dated between 1400 and 1499, two aspects related to the graphic culture of the period: the writers and the types of writing. To achieve this objective it is necessary to put into practice the methodology of two disciplines integrated in Historiographic Sciences and Techniques: diplomatic and paleography.

Summary
Sports and geopolitics are two phenomena that at first may seem independent, not bearing any relationship between them. Nothing could be further from the truth, as it is true that the primary purpose of sports is entertainment and the practice of healthy habits, the conception and interests of sports would have been completely changed as the 20th century progressed, reaching its peak in the 21st century. International actors and different states would be increasingly interested in using these spectacles to their advantage, having a significant influence on sports practice. In this present work, we will attempt to analyze how the relationship between sports and geopolitics evolves as a synchronous phenomenon with the evolution of human life itself, transitioning from having a more secondary and inconsequential role to becoming a deeply impactful geopolitical tool in society and of international interest. We will focus on major international sporting events, namely the Men's FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games, to illustrate this process. In addition to explaining this progression, we will provide examples demonstrating this political-sporting relationship.

This essay aims to study the Ravensbrück Concentration Camp as a particular example of the Camp system designed by the SS and the knowledge of survivors´ testimonies to be able to understand the life lesson of living in a concentration camp. This essay intends to build a history of the camp and the prisoners´ lives during their stay there. Through the survivors´ testimonies, extracted from the book Ravensbrück. El infierno de las mujeres. written by Montse Armengou and Ricard Belis, and contrasted with several academic works, a study of the administration of the camp, prisoners and their lives, abuses, and punishments perpetrated by the camp police, and the memory has been made.

Summary
This study aims to approach European territorial integration policies, the birth of the idea of conurbations and Anglo-Saxon garden cities at the beginning of the 20th century, and twin cities, with a primary focus on the Galician context and the concept of Eurocity, specifically in its material and immaterial potential in the area of Caminha (Portugal), A Guarda (Galicia), and O Rosal (Galicia). Based on research in the academic literature specialized in the topic, a theoretical framework is developed for the analysis of this case, considering the involvement of the EU in the European integration project through the INTERREG cross-border cooperation programs. The existence of different cross-border cooperation situations along the Spanish-Portuguese border between Galicia and Portugal and their process of institutionalization, the objectives pursued, and the achievements of these cooperation initiatives are examined, and the extent to which these are comparable to the studied case is evaluated. For this purpose, the potentialities and possibilities of creating a Eurocity Caminha - A Guarda - O Rosal will be investigated according to what is discussed in the theory, as well as the degree of necessity, acceptance, and assumption by the citizens. The weaknesses and strengths of the current project at the institutional level and the assessments of it by the inhabitants of the territory are presented. To obtain the necessary data, a quantitative method is used, a survey focused on factors of mobility, social factors, and the evaluation, knowledge, and citizen opinion on cooperation initiatives.

Summary
Film productions can influence the collective imagination about any place. Cinema, as a form of artistic expression, has the ability to disseminate images about places, these images can be interpreted and, therefore, those places acquire both positive and negative stereotypes. In the case of Galician cinema, different films address relevant issues that invite us to analyse the geography of Galicia and its representation as an eminently rural territory. It is essential to carry out a critical analysis to identify whether Galicia is being stereotyped or a negative image is being perpetuated about, in this case, the Galician countryside.

This work analyzes the Roman cultural assets of Lugo, a Galician city with a rich historical heritage. These monuments not only reflect Roman history and architecture, but also reflect the daily life and beliefs of its ancient inhabitants. The heritage of this city is being used as a tourist attraction through museums, routes, or historical events such as Arde Lucus. These activities promote cultural assets and attract tourists, enriching the city's tourist offer, which is why a tourist route is proposed that covers the main Roman points of interest, designed to offer an educational and enriching experience at an international and national level for tourists.

Summary
The present work aims to approach the study of maurism in Galicia (in the area that covers the municipalities encompassed in the districts of Noia, Padrón and the surrounding areas), in a local framework that we understand as suitable to these investigations, aimed at the identification of the origins and practical concretions of that ideal of the “conservative counterrevolution” and the politicization of the “neutral masses.” Starting from this point, the ambition of this text is to provide an interpretative framework with which to analyze this same phenomenon in other places, while delving into the raw knowledge that we have about the way in which the aforesaid maurism is installed and materialized in centers and initiatives. Among the latter we would highlight the direction of active electoral campaigns, mass mobilization, publication of their own press or the setting up of internal relationship networks, formed by the Maurist centers in the area; to whose identification we also dedicate a good part of our efforts. Finally, we also try to attend to the observation of the internal logic of the individuals, clienteles and interest groups involved in these realities, such as promoters or competitors of the emerging Galician maurism, which we will always see accompanied by enemies and allies on whom we also place our focus.
The present work aims to approach the study of maurism in Galicia (in the area that covers the municipalities encompassed in the districts of Noia, Padrón and the surrounding areas), in a local framework that we understand as suitable to these investigations, aimed at the identification of the origins and practical concretions of that ideal of the “conservative counterrevolution” and the politicization of the “neutral masses.” Starting from this point, the ambition of this text is to provide an interpretative framework with which to analyze this same phenomenon in other places, while delving into the raw knowledge that we have about the way in which the aforesaid maurism is installed and materialized in centers and initiatives. Among the latter we would highlight the direction of active electoral campaigns, mass mobilization, publication of their own press or the setting up of internal relationship networks, formed by the Maurist centers in the area; to whose identification we also dedicate a good part of our efforts. Finally, we also try to attend to the observation of the internal logic of the individuals, clienteles and interest groups involved in these realities, such as promoters or competitors of the emerging Galician maurism, which we will always see accompanied by enemies and allies on whom we also place our focus.

Summary
The main objective of this work is to carry out an analysis of the representation of the first Christian martyrs, though the compilation known as the Acts of the Martyrs. Firstly, the usefulness of martyrdom texts will be assesed as a source for the History of Early Christianity, as well as for the History of Women, taking into account their function as a conduit for cultural dissemination of the values that made up the nascent doctrine. Next, the Christian conception of martyrdom will be delved into, being seen as a process to follow in order to achieve spiritual perfection. Finally, there will be an exposition of the identity markers present in the stories of the Christian martyrs, taking into account issues such as gender bias, the religious experience that martyrdom provided to the faithful or the creation of role models based on these descriptions, keys in the development of Christianity.

Summary
The Borbon’s arrival brings a series of changes and reforms throuhgout the XVIIIth century, which have sparked sparked great debate in the historiography, regarding whether it was a rupture or continuity with de Habsbourg’s legacy. However, the reforms regarding the army have a great historiographical grap, in the XVIIIth century itself, as in the previous situation during de Charles II’ reign, in such a way that it is difficult to determine to what extent the new dinasty represented a turning point and a frenchification of the army and a frenchification of the army, or, on the contrary, their predecessor, it had already begun to introduce a reformist program in the military fields, in the same way as other European countries, whicht adapted to the tactical and technological innovations of the time.

Summary
In the middle of the last decade of the 20th century and the beginning of the first decade of the 21st century, a group of intellectuals, mostly Latin Americans, gave rise to what is known as the Modernity/Coloniality Group. This project focuses on carrying out a critical decolonial consideration towards the concepts of modernity and coloniality. To do this, the group develops theoretical and conceptual frameworks that seek to rethink these criteria. This work explores, first of all, establishing a contextual and biographical description of the group. Secondly, an attempt is made to review the main theoretical and conceptual objectives proposed by academics, in order to finally be able to show how decolonial historiography develops with the project, as well as some criticisms directed at it. To meet these objectives, efforts will be made to take advantage of the main works produced by the network of academics, as well as the most recent works on the group.

Summary
The aim is to address the different crises and social conflicts that took place in the last two centuries of the Roman Republic, as well as to analyse the continuities and discontinuities between them and to be able to understand them within the framework of a political system that was moving towards its extinction. In these centuries there are several moments in which the social order of the Republic is called into question; on the one hand we would have the Gracchus movement of the 2nd century BC. and its policies in relation to the agricultural world, which would be a conflict that happens from within the political system and its power mechanisms, and on the other hand a whole series of internal rebellions and external threats, carried out by those who were not part of the power, which call into question the continuity of the Republic and about which it is necessary to be able to assess what their role was in the end of this period in the history of Rome.

Summary
The work attempts to offer a vision that is both broad and contextualized of Brigantium (present-day Coruña) throughout its Roman history. The essential characteristics of what I consider the processes and distinctive features of the population are offered, synthetically. Namely, its particular location and physical geography, its role and position in the hierarchy of the Galaico-Roman populations, its origin and foundation, the synthesis of the main remains found at the archaeological level, the establishment of its economic, social and cultural characteristics and its overall evolution over the centuries. All that has been said seeks to present a general vision of Roman Coruña and therefore avoids categorical approaches and positions, seeking in any case to indicate the main unknowns, debates and consensuses on the matter. Finally, I consider it very useful that all the information presented is contextualized, so, to this end, I also present an overview (obviously more general than that of Brigantium) of the Artabrian context, a clearly individualized geographical area that can serve as an endorsement or contrast. of dynamics and characteristics shown in a Brigantium that forms an integral part of said space in the Galician northwest. Obviously, to the extent possible, the work seeks broader contextualization, always necessary, but in any case the Artabro Gulf is the preferred space for the comparisons presented given the scope and focus of the work.

Summary
In the present work, an attempt will be made to carry out a study on the figure of María de Portugal, Queen Consort of Castile during much of the first half of the 14th century. Through the exposition and analysis of the main events of her life, an effort will be made to approach her political dimension, which could be seen in instances such as mediations with the Kingdom of Portugal, negotiations with England to arrange a matrimonial alliance in a context as complex as the Hundred Years' War, or her later actions as Queen Mother in defending the legitimacy of Blanche of Bourbon, which led to a confrontation with her own son. Additionally, an analysis will be conducted on the power mechanisms she could have used at each moment and the importance of both family and client networks she wove throughout the different stages of her life, always marked by the complexity of both personal and political contexts.

Summary
This thesis aims to study public art in French Art Nouveau through two essential branches: posters and jewelry. The first section provides a general context to understand the creation of this new art form, emphasizing its respective years of decline and resurgence that brought about the emergence of a new social class and a new way of understanding the arts. The second point relates to the influences, studying Islamic, Gothic, Japanese, Baroque, Rococo, and Symbolist art. The third section synthesizes the general antecedents of Art Nouveau through figures such as Morris and Ruskin, whose theories influenced the Arts and Crafts movement, also discussed here. The following sections present the characteristics of poster art by Eugéne Grasset, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Alphonse Mucha as the main representatives in France at the time, focusing on their differences as creators of a unique and distinguished art from similar foundations. Subsequently, the analysis moves to the jewelry of George Fouquet and René Lalique, addressing the revaluation of the jeweler's figure and the creation of a new art focused on forms. Finally, the last section provides a comparative conclusion that examines the similarities and differences between them and their subsequent influence on contemporary art.

Summary
This work includes two of the sketches that Rubens made to undertake the decoration of the Torre de la Parada, a place known for being also the hunting lodge of Philip IV. The sketches in question are titled as follows: Daedalus and the Minotaur; and Psyche. It is not only about the origin and history of the both tablets, but also investigates the history of the same, that is to say, all its historical development, starting with its creation and reaching the present time. Mentioning the life of these two sketches, I must point out that it is of great artistic interest, of course, but also cultural. This is due to the fact that the works in question disappeared from the Museum of Fine Arts of La Coruña at the end of the 20th century, a fact that, as expected, had a great repercussion in the press. Despite the theft of both sketches, both where recovered and are currently on display in the aforementioned cultural institution, which is, in the other hand, were they should be, as they were bequeathed by Doña Elvira Arévalo Gener, whose will can be found in the Consulate Library.

This work focuses on the study of marriage throughout history and its representation in painting, focusing specifically on the Baroque period, between the 17th and 18th centuries. It will deepen the connection between art and society of the time, highlighting the importance of marriage capitulations as a symbolic element of power and status in baroque society. We will make a typological division between Catholic, Biblical, Protestant, Jewish and satirical marriages, through a detailed analysis of different works of prominent painters of the period, evidencing how these representations reflect the social and cultural norms around the hymen and the figure of women in the baroque.

Summary
The present undergraduate thesis constitutes a study on select women who engaged in artistic pursuits during the final fifteen years of the Francoist dictatorship. This work compiles their biographies and artistic contributions, while concurrently conducting an analysis and critique of the social and institutional constraints they encountered due to gender-related issues. Through the compilation of existing historiography, it illustrates the neglect to which these women were subjected during the Franco era and the immediate post-dictatorial years. The primary objective of this compilation of biographies is to showcase the extensive and diverse range of artistic works produced by women artists during this period, spanning various styles and artistic modalities, from painting to conceptual art. The intention is to undertake an endeavor of enhancing the appreciation of these artists and to underscore the imperative of incorporating their work in a more equitable manner within different institutions, including museums, as well as within the sphere of education.

Summary
The present Final Project (TFG) revolves around the role of art as a means of expression and feminist protest, studying the contributions of Mary Beth Edelson and Marisa González. In this way, it will deepen in the historical contexts of the United States and the Spanish State in the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century, in a period where the social and political realities of these countries are completely different, but in both, to a greater or lesser extent, the ferment of the feminist struggle is perceptible and crucial. Also, the first achievements in the struggle for the emancipation of women will be addressed as precedents for a bibliographic review of the different feminist currents that occurred at the time. The two artists we will approach were pioneers in form and content: in the use of emerging technologies in art, experimenting with them and connecting them with the theme of works, which reflect and question patriarchal power structures, reclaiming the female body and stripping the corsets that society had instituted.

This paper deals with the study of several portraits of kings and queens of the Spanish monarchy from Felipe II to Carlos IV, located in the Prado Museum. In them, in addition to looking at the relationship established between the artwork and the subject, we also analyze their clothing and attributes, as well as notable pieces of jewelry and other adornments, important elements that influence the idea that both the monarchs and their consorts want to convey. On the other hand, we mention the importance of colors in the paintings and their symbolism, along with a brief explanation of the value of fabrics, both in their relation to the portrayed person's rank and to the historical context, and their influence on visual perception.

Summary
The queen was represented in the Spanish emblematics of the seventeenth century using various astral allegories, including the moon, which was frequently used in funeral hieroglyphs as a fundamental piece to complete the allegory of the Sun-King. Based on the study of the cultural impact of the Baroque festival, its propagandistic use by the Habsburgs and the subsequent compilation of these events in festive books, this Final Degree Project (TFG) shows how the ephemeral decorations that adorned these celebrations (and therefore the hieroglyphs) shaped the image of the queen that was transmitted to the population. Likewise, among the different existing metaphors, this TFG studies several funeral hieroglyphs that turned into the figure of the Queen-Moon, taking into account the metaphor of the moon present in both classical and Christian mythology, main iconographic influences for the festive books. Throughout this analysis we seek to determine whether there is a relationship between these influences and the emblematic figure of the queen and, therefore, what values were being applied and transmitted to her subjects through her image.
