  • Inside Spain 54
    Inside Spain 54 William Chislett Foreign Policy Spain Offers to Take Guantánamo Prisoners The Spanish Foreign Minister, Miguel Ángel Moratinos, has told the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, that Spain is prepared to take some of the inmates released from the Guantánamo Bay military camp. Moratinos met Clinton in Washington and said Spain would consider taking prisoners on a case-by-case basis and only under acceptable legal conditions. President Barack Obama is committed to closing the camp by January 2010. As well as pulling out in 2004 the 1,300 peace keeping troops sent to Iraq by José María Aznar, the former Prime Minister, Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has been a vocal critic of Guantánamo. Just as Rodríguez Zapatero’s withdrawal of the troops strained relations with the US (Zapatero was one of the very few EU heads of government never invited to the White House by George W. Bush), helping the Obama Administration resolve the controversial Guantánamo issue would earn him kudos in Washington. ‘We are prepared to cooperate’, said Moratinos. ‘Our teams will make contact to legally study each case’. Some of the prisoners are expected to face trial in the US. Others cleared for release would need to be moved to third countries as their home nations cannot provide sufficient guarantees of safety as they have poor human-rights records. The Obama Administration is hoping that Rodríguez Zapatero will strengthen Spain’s military presence in Afghanistan, where it currently has close to 800 peacekeeping troops under a United Nations mandate and with tight rules of engagement.

  • From the Kitchen to the Podium
    Queen Sofia of Spain as the embodiment of traditionalist womanhood. Analysis of the gossip press coverage on the Queen from 2011 to 2014 ABSTRACT: The article analyses framing of Queen Sofia by the Spanish gossip press as an embodiment of the traditionalist model of womanhood existing in Spain. The paper presents results from the content analysis of extensive press coverage on the Consort (173 articles published between May 2011 and May 2014) from the leading gossip magazine ¡Hola! Through the use of gender stereotypes’ categorization, it displays coherence between the content of the Queen’s discourse in the magazine and the conservative vision of womanhood developed within the Spanish patriarchal model. Final results show that despite a superficial modernization of the Queen’s image obtained thanks to the fact of focusing the discourse on her public activity, ¡Hola! frame on Queen Sofia corresponds to the portrayal of the ideal of traditionalist Spanish woman. She is thus presented in roles of a mother, grandmother and wife rather than an independent and professionally accomplished woman. Moreover, she is described as a strongly emotional woman, worshipping her family, whose public actions are motivated more by a feeling of obligation toward her family and the country than by a will of having a professional career. KEYWORDS: Gender stereotypes; Spain; Queen Sofia; womanhood; ¡Hola!; gossip press But firstly: what is a woman? ‘Tota mulier in utero’, said one, ‘woman is a womb’ Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex. 1. Introduction In democratic countries the role of the chief of state is commonly the most exposed function on the national stage.

  • Roots of the Field Trial "Hunting" Beagle
    Roots of The Field Trial “Hunting” Beagle Jim Lane – Laneline Beagles The British Isles offer the oldest historical records of the breed and it is from England that the Beagles of the United States trace their origins. The first documented importation of Beagles was by General Richard Rowett of Carlinville, Illinois and occurred in the 1870’s. General Rowett developed a strain that would take his name and serve as foundation stock for Pottinger Dorsey of Newmarket, New Jersey and C. Staley Doub of Frederick, Maryland. Doub was born on the 8th of June 1853, Son of William H and Marietta Staley Doub. He was born in the family home, a large red brick mansion house on the Southeast corner of Market and Fourth Streets, Frederick County, Maryland. He died in this same house on the 14th of August 1933 following a heart attack. He never married and outlived his sister with whom he lived. Staley worked as a clerk in Buzzy Winebrener’s Wholesale Dry Goods and Grocery Store. He also owned a farm some miles out of town for which he had a tenant. With respect to the tenant he did not hunt on the farm. Not a rich man, he was only able to retire and hunt his Beagles in peace. After WW I Staley Doub hunted his open marked pack three times a week, he would hunt all day. The hounds traveled to the hunt site in his Dayton Wagon pulled by old Joe, his favorite horse, steady but slow. The males in one crate and the females in another.

  • Ethnicity and Identity in a Basque Borderland, Rioja Alavesa, Spain
    ETHNICITY AND IDENTITY IN A BASQUE BORDERLAND: RIOJA ALAVESA, SPAIN By BARBARA ANN HENDRY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1991 Copyright 1991 by Barbara Ann Hendry ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The help of numerous individuals in Spain and the United States enabled me to complete this dissertation— it is difficult to adequately acknowledge them all in these few short pages. To begin, without the generous hospitality, friendship, and assistance of many people in Rioja and Rioja Alavesa in 1985 and 1987, this research would not have been possible. For purposes of confidentiality, I will not list individual names, but, thank all of those in Albelda de Iregua, San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Brihas, Elciego, Laguardia, and, especially, Lapuebla de Labarca, who graciously let me share in their lives. Friends in the city of Logroho were also supportive, especially Charo Cabezon and Julio Valcazar. Stephanie Berdofe shared her home during my first weeks in the field, and buoyed my spirits and allayed my doubts throughout the fieldwork. Carmelo Lison Tolosana welcomed me to Spain and introduced me to several of his students. Maribel Fociles Rubio and Jose Lison Areal discussed their respective studies of identity in Rioja and Huesca, and helped me to formulate the interview schedule I used in Rioja Alavesa. They, and Jose's wife. Pilar, provided much warm hospitality during several brief trips to Madrid. iii The government administrators I interviewed in Rioja Alavesa and Vitoria were cooperative and candid.
