Summary: | During the Second Spanish Republic, a series of reforms were promoted in the university system to encourage its renewal. An attempt was made to democratise the institution and promote its autonomy. The aim was to bring Spanish universities into line with the most important Western universities by means of various educational innovations and the integration of research activity within the faculties. As a result of these efforts, Spanish science took off after Cajal was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1906 and the JAE was created the following year. This work studies the transformations that took place in this reformist context in the faculties of Medicine, Science and Pharmacy at the University of Madrid. It analyses their origins, their curricula and their protagonists, considering the achievements and limitations of the reforms carried out on this scientific campus. Particular attention is paid to the composition of the professors of these faculties, their selection system through competitive examinations, the growing integration of women in university classrooms, many of them linked to the Residencia de Señoritas, and the presence of university students in the media, particularly radio. Aspects of the complex and convulsive international context are also taken into consideration. Thus, the situation of the universities of Portugal, Austria and Argentina in those years is presented, given their parallels, contrasts and interrelationships with the Universidad Central and the scant knowledge of them in the Spanish historiographical panorama. Durante la Segunda República española se promovieron una serie de reformas en el sistema universitario para favorecer su renovación. Se intentó democratizar la institución y favorecer su autonomía. Y se aspiró a homologar el funcionamiento de las universidades españolas con las más importantes universidades occidentales mediante diversas innovaciones educativas y la integración de la actividad investigadora dentro de las facultades. Como resultado de ese esfuerzo se consolidó el despegue de la ciencia española iniciado tras la concesión del premio Nobel de Medicina a Cajal en 1906 y la creación de la JAE al año siguiente. En esta obra se estudian las transformaciones desarrolladas en ese contexto reformista en las facultades de Medicina, Ciencias y Farmacia de la Universidad de Madrid. Se analizan sus orígenes, sus planes de estudio y sus protagonistas considerando los logros y limitaciones de las reformas llevadas a cabo en ese campus científico. Se presta particular atención a la composición de los catedráticos de esas facultades, a su sistema de selección mediante las oposiciones, a la creciente integración de las mujeres en las aulas universitarias, vinculadas muchas de ellas a la Residencia de Señoritas, y a la presencia de los universitarios en los medios de comunicación, particularmente la radio. También se toman en consideración aspectos del complejo y convulso contexto internacional. Así se presenta la situación en aquellos años de las universidades de Portugal, Austria y Argentina dados sus paralelismos, contrastes e interrelaciones con la Universidad Central y el escaso conocimiento de ellas en el panorama historiográfico español. |
