Gastronomy is a component of great relevance in identity and is part of the intangible heritage of humanity and recipe books are living documents of the historical evolution of a society. Nevertheless, academic and research attention has always been focused on those compilations printed over the centuries, largely at the hands of men in charge of the kitchen for the political and religious spheres, thus neglecting what has been the main contribution of women to this heritage: domestic handwritten cookbooks.

Since 1989 The silent and often despised testimony of these cookbooks has begun to be the object of academic study by the Anglo-Saxon university with representatives such as Susan Leonardi, Janet Floyd y Laurel Forster y Janet Teophano, Cara de Silva and Anne L. Bower y Rebecca Ingram y Lara Anderson.

The investigations of the domestic cookbook in Spanish are signed by Isabel Gómez Turmo, Maria Angeles Perez Samper and Maria Paz Moreno. To his studies is added the publication in 2013 by the publishing house Viewer of Book of notes of stews and sweets, a recipe book dated around the year 1740 and signed by María Rosa Calvillo de Teruel, that collects a selection of handwritten recipes of a domestic nature of great historical value to understand the culinary uses and customs in the bourgeois homes of the 18th century in Andalusia.

Following this impulse in various Spanish autonomous communities, work has begun to search and catalog this documentation, which is increasingly receiving greater consideration.. Among other rescue initiatives, localization and disclosure include the project of the research team "Palingestos" of the University of La Laguna, in which the URJC UNESCO Chair in Communication Research also participates through one of its researchers, and what is called recetascanarias.org

put in common working methodologies and disseminating the relevance of this heritage which is an intergenerational and intercultural communication resource, mostly among women, is the goal of this summer course, as well as transferring this knowledge to professional cooks and to those who wish to launch recovery projects for this type of cultural heritage.

The number of suicides in 2020 in Spain grew up in 270 personas, until the 3.941 suicides, so in Spain they commit suicide on average 11 people every day. This figure means that the suicide rate in Spain is 8,31 for each 100.000 population.

The presented work analyzes the epistemological limits of the narration product of the specialized works on memory of the violent past. It is a dialectical exercise between the anthropology of violence and hermeneutic phenomenology, that proposes a self-critical look from inside the expert system. We propose the existence of a necessary representational distance (not contingent) between the story as a form of local expression and its translation into a narration that is projected outside the context in which the local stories have been produced. The article concludes that, rather than the very experience of violence represented in such stories, it is the logic of the expert system that draws the contours of the politics of evidence in the field of memory.

Like a palimpsest, political layers are added to the three concepts, social, cultural, that make this a global historical macro phenomenon of still unpredictable consequences. We assume the crisis as an interruption of the functioning of the usual course of daily practices, provoking, in a synchronized way, various dysfunctions in multiple social fields. This generates a general state of suspension of well-being. We discard the vision that defines it as a setback, and also as a stimulus, for the sake of assuming insecurity and accepting risks and social permutations. Crises are no longer a contextual element to be active protagonists. Of all his possible ways to describe them, we are interested in the cultural dimensions and their permutations from the different communicative processes as speeches or illustrative stories of these turbulent times.

The number of suicides in 2020 in Spain grew up in 270 personas, until the 3.941 suicides, so in Spain they commit suicide on average 11 people every day. This figure means that the suicide rate in Spain is 8,31 for each 100.000 population.

For every suicide there are many more who attempt suicide or have severe suicidal ideation. Suicidal behavior has a profound impact on families and communities and remains a universal challenge affecting millions of people.. Reducing suicide mortality is of global importance and a vital public health consideration..

The presented work analyzes the epistemological limits of the narration product of the specialized works on memory of the violent past. It is a dialectical exercise between the anthropology of violence and hermeneutic phenomenology, that proposes a self-critical look from inside the expert system. We propose the existence of a necessary representational distance (not contingent) between the story as a form of local expression and its translation into a narration that is projected outside the context in which the local stories have been produced. The article concludes that, rather than the very experience of violence represented in such stories, it is the logic of the expert system that draws the contours of the politics of evidence in the field of memory.

Like a palimpsest, political layers are added to the three concepts, social, cultural, that make this a global historical macro phenomenon of still unpredictable consequences. We assume the crisis as an interruption of the functioning of the usual course of daily practices, provoking, in a synchronized way, various dysfunctions in multiple social fields. This generates a general state of suspension of well-being. We discard the vision that defines it as a setback, and also as a stimulus, for the sake of assuming insecurity and accepting risks and social permutations. Crises are no longer a contextual element to be active protagonists. Of all his possible ways to describe them, we are interested in the cultural dimensions and their permutations from the different communicative processes as speeches or illustrative stories of these turbulent times.

Gastronomy is a component of great relevance in identity and is part of the intangible heritage of humanity and recipe books are living documents of the historical evolution of a society. Nevertheless, academic and research attention has always been focused on those compilations printed over the centuries, largely at the hands of men in charge of the kitchen for the political and religious spheres, thus neglecting what has been the main contribution of women to this heritage: domestic handwritten cookbooks.

Since 1989 The silent and often despised testimony of these cookbooks has begun to be the object of academic study by the Anglo-Saxon university with representatives such as Susan Leonardi, Janet Floyd y Laurel Forster y Janet Teophano, Cara de Silva and Anne L. Bower y Rebecca Ingram y Lara Anderson.

The investigations of the domestic cookbook in Spanish are signed by Isabel Gómez Turmo, Maria Angeles Perez Samper and Maria Paz Moreno. To his studies is added the publication in 2013 by the publishing house Viewer of Book of notes of stews and sweets, a recipe book dated around the year 1740 and signed by María Rosa Calvillo de Teruel, that collects a selection of handwritten recipes of a domestic nature of great historical value to understand the culinary uses and customs in the bourgeois homes of the 18th century in Andalusia.

Following this impulse in various Spanish autonomous communities, work has begun to search and catalog this documentation, which is increasingly receiving greater consideration..
