    Arxiu Històric del Camp de la Bota i la Mina. Un espai de memoria referent en un barri marginat
    (Publicacions URV, 2024) López Mirabet, Víctor
    Aquesta article tracta sobre l'Arxiu Històric del Camp de la Bota i la Mina (AHBM), un projecte veïnal i pedagògic sorgit a inicis dels anys 2000 amb l'objectiu de recuperar la memòria històrica dels habitants de l'antic barri del Camp de la Bota i del barri de la Mina. Ens proposem explicar com i per què es va fundar aquesta entitat veïnal, quins han estat els seus principals promotors i quines han sigut les seves activitats més destacades durant els seus més de vint anys d'existència fins al seu tancament, al desembre de 2023.

    El bautismo de sangre de Manuel Brabo Montero (1904-1973): su participación en la guerra del Rif, la comida de Bien Tieb y la retirada de Xauen (1923-1924)
    (Centro de Estudios de la Guerra-RUHM, 2025) Pich Mitjana, Josep; López Mirabet, Víctor
    Este artículo analiza la figura de Manuel Brabo Montero (1904-1973) a partir de su hoja de servicios, la prensa de la época y sus memorias inéditas. El estudio se centra en su participación en la guerra del Rif entre 1923 y 1924, con el objetivo de examinar, desde una perspectiva crítica y contextualizada, algunos acontecimientos clave de ese periodo, como la célebre comida de Ben Tieb y la retirada de Xauen. Mediante el contraste entre su testimonio personal y los actuales debates historiográficos, se plantea si aquella retirada constituyó un desastre militar o una maniobra estratégica posteriormente resignificada desde el ámbito político, cuyas consecuencias influyeron de forma decisiva en el curso del conflicto y en su memoria. La investigación se organiza en cinco apartados: los orígenes familiares y la formación de Brabo Montero; su llegada a la zona de influencia española en Marruecos y su visión del Tercio; el conflicto entre africanistas y la dictadura de Primo de Rivera; y, de forma particular, los episodios de Ben Tieb y la retirada de Xauen. Este enfoque biográfico permite arrojar luz sobre episodios controvertidos de la historia militar española y contribuye a enriquecer el estudio del africanismo castrense y de la guerra del Rif.

    Deep-time perspectives on drylands: archaeology as a lens for understanding long-term livelihood systems and resilience
    (Cambridge University Press, 2025) Ruiz-Giralt, Abel; Jiménez Arteaga, Carolina; Parque Pérez, Óscar; D'Agostini, Francesca
    Drylands are still widely perceived as marginal areas, unsuitable for food production and long-term human settlement. This view, reinforced by mainstream global land use models, stands in sharp contrast with archaeological and ethnographic evidence showing that sustainable agriculture and pastoralism have long existed even in hyperarid regions. In this perspective article, we argue for the importance of applying archaeology to build a long-term narrative of land use management in drylands, highlighting the relevance of nonmechanized, resilient subsistence strategies as forms of biocultural heritage and sustainable alternatives rooted in indigenous priorities put in place over centuries. We contend that archaeology is key to shifting this narrative by documenting long-term socio-ecological adaptation in drylands. To this end, we present a range of archaeological methodologies that have helped trace techno-cultural developments in drylands, challenging persistent assumptions about the limits of human occupation and food production in arid environments.

    The long road: ethnoarchaeology, pastoralism and the reconfiguration of archaeological knowledge
    (Cambridge University Press, 2025) Biagetti, Stefano
    This article addresses the transformative role of ethnoarchaeology in reshaping the study of pastoralism. Long marginalized by dominant scientific and political discourses, pastoralism is now increasingly seen as a sophisticated, adaptive livelihood strategy - especially in contexts of high environmental variability. Since pastoralism is predominantly practiced in drylands - arid and semiarid regions historically viewed as peripheral - its study has helped reframe these environments as dynamic landscapes of innovation and resilience. This reevaluation has been pushed, this article argues, also by the contributions of ethnoarchaeology. As a field that bridges past and present, it has enabled the generation of new concepts, the challenge of traditional archaeological frameworks and the integration of Indigenous knowledge systems.

    Did I have a dream last night? White dreaming as metacognitive feelings
    (Wiley, 2026) Alcaraz Sánchez, Adriana
    While most research on sleep mentation focuses on dream reports, sleep experiences can also include reports lacking content, such as white dreaming¿the feeling of knowing one dreamt but being unable to recall its contents. I claim that white dreaming is a metacognitive feeling, akin to tip-of-the-tongue and déjà experiences. Conceiving it this way allows for a more nuanced understanding of its nature and causes. Drawing on research on metacognitive feelings in wakefulness, I suggest that white dreaming can sometimes be a metacognitive illusion: A misleading feeling that seems to arise from a dream but could reflect another kind of sleep experience¿or none at all.
