Elastic and hegemonic borders and discourse theory: Mexico’s southern border by Jorge Marengo Camacho

“…The outcomes were the following: 1) correlations may be made between the elements of the discourse moving from the northern to the southern border, but not in the opposite direction; 2) the process of securitising the discourse about migrants is continuous, and new securitising elements are regularly added; 3) an “elastic borders” phenomenon exists, where borders extend or retract, thereby creating new border regions; and 4) discourses around the southern border are constructed with more pejorative elements than the northern, despite the fact that crime rates are higher in the north.…”

Barcos para la guerra. Soporte de la Monarquía Hispánica by José Luis Casado Soto

“…Ultimately, it seeks to motivate critical reflection and, in a rigorous way, enables to tackle the prevailing apparent contradiction between the pejorative state of international historiographic opinion, regarding the Spanish ships that constructed and maintained oceanic routes in the Modern Ages, and the axiom of the impossibility of a threefold political, economic and military preponderance, necessary to run an empire, if the technology and capacity of creation, renovation and adaptation available are not of superior quality than the rivals’.…”

“…L’approche linguistique nous permettra de relever, dans la période où se produit l’emprunt de l’arabe vers l’espagnol, certains changements sémantiques, comme la péjoration, des changements de nature métonymique ou les changements provoqués par la méconnaissance culturelle qui révèlent un défaut de compréhension et de respect de la culture chrétienne-romane envers la culture arabo-andalouse.…”

The Civil Code of Andrés Bello and the exegetical movement in Colombia by Andrés Botero Bernal

“…Likewise, it relates the above to the emergence of the Colombian exegetical movement, close to –as well as different– from the movement of French commentators on the Civil Code of 1804, a movement that will be called, pejoratively in the 20th century, as “exegesis”. Now, this work is justified by the importance of articulating, due to the potentialities that this allows, the legal history with the comparative law, remembering that both disciplines had common origins. …”
