Un viejo tapiz tibetano de Else Lasker-Schüler
En este artículo se analizó, desde la lingüística contrastiva, la antología poética bilingüe Un viejo tapiz tibetano, de Else Lasker-Schüler, cuya traducción fue realizada por Jenaro Talens. El análisis tuvo tres momentos: descripción, yuxtaposición y comparación. Se reconocieron 269 operadores traductivos, clasificados en: contenido (metáforas y culturemas) y forma (estilo y ritmo). El trabajo permitió identificar figuras y conceptos cuyas propu…
Cuando el rentista no es derrotado
Landlords’ power often declined from the late 19th century, as tenants gained new rights, and finally the possibilities to buy the land they worked. However, in some cases, such as with the rabassa morta contract in Catalonia, tenant rights did not lead to a “defeat of the rentier”, nor to any fundamental changes to landlords’ dues. In Catalonia, landowners actively participated in wine production, and therefore opposed any reforms that threatene…
Capacidad del Estado y fracaso de la reforma agraria en España (1931-1936)
Este artículo ofrece nuevas interpretaciones del fracaso de la reforma agraria en España. Primero, el hecho de no participar en la Primera Guerra Mundial explica tanto la escasa demanda de un aumento de la capacidad de intervención del Estado como la preservación del poder de las elites terratenientes. Segundo, se pone en evidencia el enorme desafío que supone para un Estado modificar la organización agrícola de buena parte del país. Tercero, la …
The question of land access and the Spanish land reform of 1932
Spanish land reform, involving the breakup of the large southern estates, was a central issue during the first decades of the twentieth century, and was justified on economic and political grounds. This article employs new provincial data on landless workers, land prices, and agrarian wages to consider whether government intervention was needed because of the failure of the free action of markets to redistribute land. Our evidence shows that the …
El microcrédito antes de las cooperativas
The economic development literature has highlighted the importance of microcredit institutions in providing cheap credit to farmers in poor countr ies or regions. In the Spanish case, the pósitos, village grain banks found throughout most of the countr y, played this role for centuries. This article, using government reports of 1912 to 1914, not only attempts to measure the success of these village organizations, but also the problems to adapt th…
Too many workers or not enough land? The experience of land reform in Spain during the 1930s
On the eve of the Second Republic enormous estates were believed to be undercultivated by their absentee owners, denying landless workers employment, and leading to widespread rural poverty in southern Spain. The slow implementation of a land reform deeply divided Spanish society, and is often cited as a cause of the outbreak of the Civil War. This paper, using a large sample of farm level information collected by the Institute of Agrarian Reform…
Housing affordability during the urban transition in Spain
During the decades prior to the Civil War, Spain experienced a rapid process of urbanization, which was accompanied by the demographic transition and sizeable rural-urban migrations. This article investigates how urban housing markets reacted to these far-reaching changes, which increased demand for dwellings. To this end, this study employs a new hedonic index of real housing prices and constructs a cross-regional panel dataset of rents and hous…
Spanish Housing Markets, 1904-1934
This article makes the first systematic attempt to analyse quantitatively the evolution of Spanish housing markets from 1904 to 1934, a period of dramatic changes in housing demand as a consequence of substantial income and demographic growth. In order to do so, we collect a new database on houses sold and their prices using data from the Registrar's Yearbooks. Furthermore, we construct a new hedonic index of real housing prices for Spain and its…
L’enquête de 1903 sur les conditions agricoles du Sud de l’Espagne
La encuesta de 1903 sobre los condiciones agrícolas del Sur de España. La preocupación política frente a la agitación de los trabajadores rurales sin tierras en Andalucía y en Extremadura, a principios del siglo xx, explica la decisión del gobierno de apadrinar dos grandes encuestas del Instituto de reformas sociales en el sur de España, entre los cuales la de 1903. Ésta versa a la vez sobre el retraso agrícola del sur de España y sobre el repart…
Explaining contract choice
Recent literature on sharecropping has emphasized its importance in reducing problems associated with moral hazard in cultivation (in Tuscany), or providing a crucial ‘rung’ on the farm ladder (in the US south). Yet despite these and other important features, sharecropping was surprisingly absent in most regions. Using case studies associated with French wine production, this article argues that a number of factors have often been overlooked in t…
Sharecropping and livestock specialization in France, 1830–1930
Historians of sharecropping in France have usually emphasized its negative effects on growth and on the workers' welfare. However, from about 1840 the regions of central and western France, regions where sharecroppers were especially numerous, were also areas that saw great improvements and the specialization in commercial livestock. As the author shows, landowners from these areas used sharecropping contracts in order both to seize the opportuni…
The “Rabassa Morta” in Catalan Viticulture
For long periods, and in line with recent theoretical literature, the rabassa morta sharecropping contract successfully reduced problems of moral hazard and opportunistic behavior, and provided incentives for sharecroppers to respond to market opportunities. However, from the late nineteenth century, technical change, rising wages, and weak wine prices all increased the incentives for postcontractual opportunistic behavior on the part of the shar…
