  • The Inclusion of the Libraries of Barcelona in the Cultural 'Map'
    Date : 08/07/2008 The inclusion of the Libraries of Barcelona in the cultural ‘map’, or how to turn a need into a virtue. Marta Clari, Executive Director, Institut de Cultura de Barcelona Mercè Muñoz Technical Secretary, Biblioteques de Barcelona ([email protected]) Meeting: 149. Metropolitan Libraries with Public Libraries Simultaneous Interpretation: Not available WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 74TH IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 10-14 August 2008, Québec, Canada http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla74/index.htm A few days after receiving the invitation to present the Libraries of Barcelona in this forum, the result was published of a survey carried out annually by the City Council of Barcelona to rate the degree of satisfaction of the citizens with regard to the public services provided by the municipality: the public libraries took the top spot in the survey, being the most highly rated service by the citizens of Barcelona. Objectively this is good news, but it is even more so if you take into account the situation of the public libraries of the city just 15 years ago. So as to be able to understand what has happened in the last 15 years, it is necessary to know briefly their history, for without knowing it, it is difficult to understand how a major cosmopolitan city, capital of a culture with a thousand year tradition, with the capacity of organising the successful Olympic Games of 1992, to quote a reference that gave the city international recognition, still in that year didn’t have a plan for its system of public libraries, and moreoverto attend a population of more than 1,600,000 inhabitants there was only 6,650 m2 of public library spaces, divided between 15 facilities (in some cases small libraries of less than 200 m2).

  • Obsesión Definición: Idea, Deseo O Imagen Que Aparece De Forma Reiterada Y Persistente Y Que El Sujeto No Puede Alejar Voluntariamente De La Conciencia
    obsesión Definición: idea, deseo o imagen que aparece de forma reiterada y persistente y que el sujeto no puede alejar voluntariamente de la conciencia. Posee un carácter compulsivo y adquiere una con- dición penosa y angustiante. (Diccionario María Moliner) La obsesión es un pensamiento, una imagen o un impulso incontrolable y persistente que invade nuestra mente por la fuerza; nos asedia, nos angus- tia, nos aísla y nos paraliza. En un intento de aliviar la intensa ansiedad que causan estas ideas intrusas, los afectados a menudo recurren a actos, tan improductivos como irresisti- bles, o rituales compulsivos —por ejemplo, repetir palabras o números, rezar de forma desconsolada, lavarse las manos sin parar, comprobar una y otra vez si las puertas están cerradas u ordenar con meti- culosidad durante horas los objetos que les rodean. Las obsesiones y comportamientos repetitivos que adoptan quienes los sufren para calmar la ansie- dad, absorben su atención, perturban el equilibrio mental, interfieren en sus ocupaciones y relaciones, consumen su energía vital y, a la larga, socavan su bienestar físico, psicológico y social. En medicina y psicología clínica, la obsesión crónica que causa intensa angustia y altera seriamente las actividades diarias de la persona se cataloga como trastorno de ansiedad obsesivo-compulsivo. En la actualidad se desconoce la causa exacta de dicho trastorno. La teoría más aceptada considera que es consecuencia de una mezcla del equipaje gené- tico, la personalidad, el medio social y los efectos de experiencias traumáticas.

  • Barcelona Obertura 2017-18
    1 Welcome to Barcelona Obertura 2 We are proud to present a new Barcelona Obertura, Classic & Lyric season, a joint initiative of the Liceu Opera, the Palau de la Música and L’Auditori to promote Barcelona as one of the global cities where classical music matters. When major institutions with such vast history as the three promoters of Barcelona Obertura work together for their city, results are clear: an exceptional season that will help Barcelona gain fame for its excellence in the classical music scene. I want to thank the three institutions for their work and commitment, their directors and teams, as well as Barcelona Turisme. I also want to thank Fundació Banc Sabadell for sponsoring this catalogue. After two years working on the project and various press trips, we have achieved remarkable communication successes - with a dozen appearances in specialized and general international media - and we can say that Barcelona Obertura is contributing to make our city much more attractive and diverse. As a Barcelona Global member, I’m proud of this project and its future. Ramon Agenjo President of Barcelona Obertura and member of the Directive Board of Barcelona Global Barcelona Global is a private, independent and non-profit association made up of more than 700 professionals from all sectors aiming to make Barcelona one of the world’s best cities for talent and economic activity Musical Treasures Institutions from the most Liceu Opera seductive Palau de la Música Catalana Mediterranean city L'Auditori Discover Season 2017–18 Barcelona Classical music from Barcelona to the world 4 5 Musical Treasures in the most seductive Mediterranean city Pau Casals, Alícia de Larrocha, Federic Mompou, Josep Carreras, Jaume Aragall, Montserrat Caballé, Victoria de los Angeles, Jordi Savall, Cuarteto Casals..

  • One Hundred Years of Science Policy and the Institute of Catalan Studies
    CONEIXEMENT I SOCIETAT 14 ARTICLES ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SCIENCE POLICY AND THE INSTITUTE OF CATALAN STUDIES Josep M. Camarasa* and Antoni Roca i Rosell** The Institute of Catalan Studies (Institut d’Estudis Catalans, henceforth the IEC) was founded in 1907 by Enric Prat de la Riba with the aim of promoting scientific policy. The underlying rationale was that an institute promoting high culture would reinforce Catalonia’s aspirations for political autonomy. Nonetheless, in addition to this original aim, the IEC has acquired a considerable degree of functional autonomy, indicating preferred directions for research and the dissemination of knowledge, and contributing greatly to the development of a Catalan scientific community. The autonomy of the IEC was unrestricted during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera (1923-1930), although it received no public funding of any kind. During the Second Republic –covering the years 1931 to 1939 and including the Civil War– the IEC had premises in the Casa de Convalescència (attached to the old Hospital de la Santa Creu). During the Franco dictatorship, the IEC was taken to be defunct, although it was never, in fact, explicitly closed down, and continued to operate in semi-clandestine form. In 1963, Òmnium Cultural (a body promoting Catalan identity, culture and language), granted the IEC premises in the Palau Dalmases. The IEC thus acquired a certain public presence that enabled it to support the activities implemented by its subsidiary societies. In 1976, the IEC was publicly recognised by the governments of Catalonia and of Spain. In recent decades, in an academic context that is very different from that existing in the opening decades of the 20th century and against a very different political background, the IEC has battled to carve out a niche for itself in the Catalan research sector.

ISSN No. 0144-5863 ISBN No. 09507137 08 IN MEMORIAM JOSEP MARIA BATISTA I ROCA (1895-1978) Dr. J. M. Batista i Roca, founder member of the Anglo-Catalan Society and its first Honorary Life President, always hoped that the Society would at some stage be able to publish some of the work of its members and guest speakers. Unfortunately this was never possible during his lifetime, but now that the Society, with the help of a grant from Omnium Cultural, is undertaking the publication of Occasional Papers it seems appropriate that this Series as a whole should be dedicated to the fond memory which the Society holds of him. CONTENTS Foreword 1 I. The historical roots of an open society. 4 II. Social classes and the rise of Catalan industrial capitalism. 15 III. A broken progress. 28 IV.
