  • Antes de la Reforma. Las luchas psiquiátricas del tardofranquismo como movimiento social

    Open Access•Rafael Huertas•ARTICLE•Sociología Histórica•2025

    Las “luchas psiquiátricas del tardofranquismo” es la expresión que utilizamos para referirnos a la serie de conflictos (huelgas, concentraciones, encierros, etc.) que se produjeron en diversas instituciones psiquiátricas españolas a lo largo de la década de los setenta del siglo XX. Este artículo describe las características fundamentales de dichas experiencias y las analiza considerándolas en su conjunto como un movimiento social. Se recurre a l…

  • Art Facing the Problem of Otherness, with Reference to the Interwar Literature of Annemarie Schwarzenbach (1908-1942)

    Open Access•Miriam Baquero Leyva, Ana Conseglieri et al.•ARTICLE•Culture & History Digital Journal•2023

    The work of Annemarie Schwarzenbach (1908-1942) is an interesting illustration of the power of representing the struggles of the inner world in literature. In her work, the whole problem of otherness is evident, which is largely resolved through literary activity, in a woman who assumed in herself a marginal otherness due to her gender, her sexual identity, and for having been admitted for psychiatric treatment on more than one occasion during he…

  • Subjectivity in clinical practice: On the origins of psychiatric semiology in early French alienism

    Open Access•Rafael Huertas•ARTICLE•History of Psychiatry•2014

    The aim of this article is to contribute to the analysis of the origins of psychiatric semiology, which by emphasizing subjectivity in clinical practice, gave birth to psychopathology as the scientific and intellectual enterprise of alienism. In other words, beyond simple anatomical and clinical observation, there was an effort to ‘listen to’ and ‘read’ the patient’s delirium. In essence, the basic thesis which this short paper seeks to defend is…

  • Lombroso and the science of literature and opera

    Ricardo Campos, Rafael Huertas•CHAPTER•The Cesare Lombroso handbook•2013

    The influence of the work of Cesare Lombroso first became apparent in Spain in the early 1880s. It spread quickly and, in very little time, became popular in scientific, legal, journalistic and cultural fields across the country until it reached its ‘moment of maximum discussion and timeliness’ (Maristany 1983, 362) in 1985. However, the rapid spread of Lombroso's doctrines did not lead to the formation of a group of orthodox followers or the cre…
