For centuries, the maritime cargo passing through the port of Barcelona was handled by the men of a half-dozen guilds. Collectively, these ancient corporations enjoyed monopolistic privileges over the various types of cargo and areas of operation—in the shallow harbor, to and from the Customs House, and throughout the city and beyond. At the end of...

Durante cuarenta años, los comerciantes de Barcelona trataron de acabar con los gremios de mareantes y la Matrícula de Mar, dos instituciones del Antiguo Régimen en las tareas de carga y descarga portuaria. Marineros y pescadores, organizados gremialmente, ofrecieron una tenaz resistencia que evitó durante décadas la aplicación de la normativa gene...

Las mujeres de las comunidades marítimas históricamente participaron en un gran número de trabajos. Se dedicaban a la descarga del carbón mineral y de bacalao, también arrastraban gabarras o conducían barcas por las rías. No obstante, este ha sido un asunto poco considerado por la bibliografía especializada, tanto europea como española. A finales d...

Many degrees unrelated to History engage in the discussion of historical topics. Knowledge of the past allows to develop a group of skills in degrees like Economy, Management, Sociology, Political Science, etc., thus establishing challenges in the way historical contents are taught. Our case focuses on three degrees in the University of Barcelona c...

It aims to highlight the relationship between the geographical and occupational origins of dock workers and the different specialities chosen once in the docks, by cross-referencing their details from pe...

A partir de veintiocho entrevistas realizadas a mujeres militantes de CCOO, para el Proyecto «Biografías Obreras: Fonts Orals i militancia sindical (1930-1978)» del Archivo Histórico de CCOO de Catalunya-Fundació Cipriano García (AHCONC), este artículo llama la atención sobre la necesidad de revisar algunas de las interpretaciones historiográficas...

L'acció sindical durant els anys trenta al port de Barcelona estigué determinada per la forta conflictivitat i per l'enorme fragmentació de l'organització obrera. Aquesta conflictivitat no es donà tan sols entre els sindicats i la patronal, sinó també entre els mateixos sindicats per aconseguir l'hegemonia al port. 1 La duresa i la violència domina...

This article draws attention to the need for reviewing some of the historiographic interpretations regarding the spontaneous character of CCOO and the democratic Spanish unionism like a "new labour movement" without connection with the historical trade unions as well as the “ignorance” of the new generations of CCOO unionists of the prewar politica...
