This paper analyses the late establishment of the so-called ex officio canonries in the council of the Sevillian Collegiate Church of the Divine Saviour. This is a considerably late example of the development of such prebends, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Modern Era. Likewise, the chapter of the Divine Saviour is presented as an interesting example of a small chapter body, whose diminutive size stands out against the stature of its powerful neighbour the cathedral chapter of Seville, the latter of which affected its institutional development and the establishment of these trade prebends.

This paper examines perceptions, attitudes and preparations for death in Seville between the end of the 14th and middle of the 15th centuries. It does so by analysing the formulas used in testaments and endowments preserved in several archives of the city, paying special attention to two parts: the invocations, preambles and professions of faith at the start of testaments; and the funeral rites and various religious services in memory of the deceased, as well as other pious legacies.

This paper analyzes the lime mortar pavement with marble inlays that sole the north, south and west porticoed galleries of the peristyle from the Demetrio de los Ríos House at Italica. This pavement is of great interest because of its own configuration and the marble materials it contains, because of its rarity as it is included in the wide catalog of "opera sectilia" and traditional mosaics from the second century Italica, previously much more luxurious, and because of its own chronology, framed from the last third of the second century.

With this paper we intend to highlight a unique Roman piece from the Palace of the Countess of Lebrija (Seville) collection, an unfinished "mensa ponderaria" made out of recycled material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Unfortunately, sometimes historical investigations do not have enough supporting material. These circumstances have made that two pictures, one Saint Peter and one Saint Paul, were thought to be a pictorial set only based on the hypothesis by experts in Murillo's painting. Nevertheless, there was not any document which could confirm this theory. This paper contributes the documentary evidence validating that these two portraits were a set. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses the patrimonial range and territorial integration of nine Historical and Democratic Memorial Sites of Andalusia within Seville (whether declared, initiated or proposed). The lights and shades of this topic derive from a geographical perspective regarding the way these places and their spatial projection have been conceived. The methodology of this work, extrapolable to other territories and cities, can contribute to a field of geographical reflection as yet underdeveloped. It can serve as a framework for urgent social demands on how to manage those memories that still cause serious local, regional and national political disagreements in Spain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the maintenance and elision of the intervocalic /d/ phoneme in the Spanish spoken in the city of Seville. For this purpose, the study is based on PRESEEA materials from the high sociolect of Seville's citizens, which is made of semi-structured surveys recollected between 2009 and 2015. The aim of this paper is to analyze what linguistic and extralinguistic (social and stylistic) factors influence the phonological variation of the dental. The results have been obtained from the application of statistic correlations and regression analyses in order to study the influence of independient linguistic variables in the conservation or elision of intervocalic sound. Our research is completed with the description of the individual uses of the speakers in the general phonetic context and the -ado phonetic context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As urbanization and gentrification have become planetary processes, research on commercial geographies has progressively gained importance. In studying the capitalist city, literature has generally focused on urban transformations, the housing market dynamics or indigenous population displacement in relation to neoliberal politics and policies at different scales. However, changes on the commercial fabric have also attracted scholarly attention in recent years. This paper delves into the geography of shopping in urban heritage contexts, specifically through a study case in Seville's historic district. My hypothesis is two parallel processes have unfolded and fed back: gentrification and heritagezation, what I explore by analyzing the evolution of traditional retail shops, franchises and large firms in the last two decades. To do so, the article combines quantitative and qualitative analyses on diverse bibliographic and statistical sources on the topic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the initial results concerning the beliefs and attitudes of Sevillian university students towards the normative varieties of Spanish, mainly towards their own variety. The design methodology that we followed is based on the PRECAVES XXI Project. All subjects completed graduate or postgraduate studies related to the field of linguistics or Spanish language. Specifically, two groups were contrasted: students without specialized knowledge about the geolectal and social varieties of Spanish and those who have acquired it in their academic career. The data obtained help us to know which variety is considered most prestigious and how the participants judge their own accent and other dialects of the Hispanic world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes an analytical framework which adds a historical dimension to the already consolidated discipline of analysing public policies, giving an interpretation of the process by which a certain public policy emerges and evolves. This analytical framework will be put to the test via its application to the study of social housing policies in Seville during the Franco regime. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we aim to study the diversity of Christian beliefs and devotions in Sevillian confraternities during XIV to XVI centuries. In order to achieve our purpose we have used confraternities' rules. We have studied four different aspects: the devotion to the Holy Trinity -made up of three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit-; the devotion to the Virgin; the devotion to the saints; and the cult of images. We can verify that God was always present in people's lives, and they normally turned to Mary and the saints in order to obtain protection and celestial favours. Therefore we can affirm that Christian beliefs and devotions in Seville during the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of Early modern period were according to Rome's rules.

Historiography traditionally considered as minor the situation of women in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries limited to casual activities in social life and in a commercial sense as related to business for small amounts of money and no formalities. However, this paper provides information and data on the existence of numerous trading companies established by women in Seville. These companies had a wide range of business activities and share capitals varying from minimum to some of big entity. The initiative of entrepreneuring is not peculiar to women belonging to a marital status, yet widow, emancipated and married women used companies for the development of business.

This paper offers an interpretation of the contemporary urban process of a city, Seville, from the analysis of what happened in the city in the first decade of the century. The case of Seville is very significant and useful as case-example of historic city able to make urban transformations and changes in major urban systems, as public space and mobility, and the tensions and contradictions that often accompany these processes, and also the ability to find ways to upgrade the functions of the city to the new social, economic and political challenges that the situation of strong current crisis is placing many cities.

As a central element of daily life, the urban public space can work as a field of identification and emotional relationship. Using a qualitative methodology, this paper aims to investigate how women and men give a meaningful value and develop an affective attachment to it through their daily practices. The analysis is framed within a specific social, cultural, political and economic context, such as a lowincome neighborhood in the city of Seville (Spain). The claim for a public space, the Parque Estoril, and its design by the community, meant a struggle to improve the living conditions of the residents. It has become a vibrant place for social life and also a space of belonging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper I offer a socio-cultural explanation of Inca Garcilaso’s Romanist program, taking into account the analysis of his biographical anchorages in both Perú and Spain, specially his andalusian experience. To do so, I follow the social events he lived through (the recent conquest of the Islamic world and presence of Jewish converts), as well as the more cultural aspects of his stay in Spain (Royal and nobility classicism, relationship with the Jesuits). By broadening the scope of the interpretation of his texts, we are no longer talking merely about an individual and isolated (if aristocratic) experience, nor about a merely religious or literary option (even if it is expressed in such a way).
