Diplomat, Egyptologist, writer and historian, Eduard Toda is remembered as the man who rescued the Algherese dialect of Catalan from oblivion and who helped rebuild the monastery libraries of Escornalbou and Poblet. On the occasion of the seventy-fifth anniversary of his death, this paper reviews Toda’s book collecting activities, his general love of books and his outstanding work as a benefactor of libraries, which together contributed to enriching our country’s book heritage. The paper then turns to Toda’s relationship with the school for librarians the Escola de Bibliotecàries, which was founded thanks to his donation of a number of book collections to the Library of Catalonia. As recorded in the archives of the old Escola, this relationship was based on a number of different activities: Toda’s trips to Escornalbou, which also provided an opportunity for cultural study; his organization of periods of residence for student librarians at Poblet to help rebuild the monastery’s library; his creation of classes in book restoration in degree courses in librarianship; and the creation of a workshop for restoring library materials, which for many decades helped to link the Escola and the Library of Catalonia. Finally, as the article shows, Toda’s ties with the Escola de Bibliotecàries were reinforced by the mutual affection existing between him and the school as well as by the activities he organized with its students, which gave the school its singular nature as a place of study during the 1930s.

The paper explores the new forms of organizing the social sphere from the key of hybridization. The object of analysis is placed on the interrelationship between the public and private sphere in the context of biographic narratives. The paper specifically focuses on the movement of public to private and the resulting transformations, putting forward two conflicting interpretations called: spectacularization and politicization. In the course of the paper an ad hoc survey of blogs is taken as a starting point and a corpus of selected personal blog is semiotically analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is aimed, firstly, at suggesting the need for in-training Primary Education Teachers to build up general knowledge about science structuring contents as well as history of science from a gender perspective. This training in science should help students to analyse the relationships between science-technology and gendersociety throughout history and at present. Secondly, a qualitative research carried out about a proposal developed by Science Didactics students of the Degree in Primary Education in the University of Granada about biographies of female scientists is described. Finally, the results of the research are presented, all leading to some key ideas on how to introduce the gender approach in the teaching of science. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is based on the professional biographies of six professors identified as excellent by senior students in three programmes at the School of Humanities, Mar del Plata State University. In-depth interviews examined the teachings and practices these instructors encountered along their educational biographies in order to find traces of these experiences in their current lives. The aim is to disclose the subtle ways in which the past influences their academic present. The life histories retrieved reveal the importance of the actors' mentors at the onset of their teaching and research at the university. The recovery of these memories allows the conceptualization of experts' role in the education of novices, thus examining what is traditionally considered as the informal supervision of teaching assistants and junior researchers. In this way, we try to create a site at the university where it is possible to discuss mentors' good practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
