Identificación de pigmentos mediante espectroscopía Raman
Ana Álvarez Caballero
MoleQla: revista de Ciencias de la Universidad Pablo de Olavide·2015
El empleo de la espectroscopía Raman para el diagnóstico de pigmentos procedentes de obras del patrimonio cultural ha sido objeto de interés para muchos investigadores y restauradores por las ventajas que presenta frente a otras técnicas de análisis, a l ser una técnica no destructiva que permite un análisis molecular de los materiales, permitiendo así conocer la composición química de los mismos y , como consecuencia, determinar los sistemas de restauración más adecuados a cada obra de nuestro patrimonio.

Caroline Elkins
Historical Reflections / Réflexions Historiques·2018
From 1930s Palestine to Kenya in the years following World War II, systematized violence shaped and defined much of Britain’s twentieth-century empire. Liberal authoritarianism, and with it the “moral effect” that coercion had upon colonial subjects, gave rise to the systematic use of violence against colonial subjects. The ideological roots of these tactics can be located in the twinned birth of liberalism and imperialism, together with metropolitan responses to imperial events in the mid-nineteenth century. Despite copious amounts of empirical evidence documenting the evolution of liberal authoritarianism, and the creation and deployment of legalized lawlessness throughout the British Empire, Steven Pinker either ignores this evidence, or implicitly denies its validity. In reframing Britain’s civilizing mission, and challenging liberalism’s obfuscating abilities, this article critiques not only the British government’s repeated denials of systematized violence in its empire, but also Pinker’s reinforcement of the myths of British imperial benevolence.
