	Acadian Odyssey
		Canada's Digital Collections. Government of Canada. «Many factors have contributed to what is called the "Acadian Identity". Amongst these are: a common experience shared by the first settlers; an independent spirit principally the result of having been left to themselves by their mother country; a common language and religion that were shared with only a small number of those other settlers who were also discovering the "New World". However, amongst all these factors, none has had as much impact as the forcible expulsion of the Acadians during the years 1755 to 1763. All Acadians, no matter where they live today, see the "great upheaval", or the deportation as the ultimate factor of their common identity.» Canadá

English humour, German satires, French political subversion...» «Anti-napoleonic caricature, both disrespectful and perverse, had two aims in mind. On the one hand, it launched a direct attack against the Emperor's image with the national variations which we will study further along the way. On the other hand, it attempted to break the spirit of the French which had already been damaged by Napoleon's excesses...» Francia

	Archivo Carlos Esplá
		Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes. Universidad de Alicante. «Carlos Esplá Rizo nació en Alicante el 23 de junio de 1895 en el seno de una familia republicana de clase media. Educado en un ambiente liberal y culto, pronto dos de los más destacados republicanos de la ciudad -el Dr. Rico y el poeta Sellés-, le tomarían como discípulo predilecto, inculcándole su sentido ético de la vida y el amor por las ideas de progreso y solidaridad. Desde 1912 participó en la reorganización del Partido Republicano alicantino, fundando un año después en compañía de un grupo de amigos el periódico El Luchador, en adelante órgano de expresión de los republicanos de izquierda de la ciudad. Sus furibundos artículos antimonárquicos le costarían en 1916 el destierro a Valencia, ciudad en la que comenzó a destacar como periodista y como activista político. En la capital del Turia conoció e intimó con Felix de Azzati, Marcelino Domingo, Roberto Castrovido, Vicente Marco Miranda, los hermanos Estellés, los hermanos Just, Eugenio Noel y Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, logrando alcanzar un nombre sobresaliente entre los periodistas republicanos valencianos.» España

	Art to the People
		International Institute of Social History, INSH. «To bring art to the people: that is what Walter Crane, Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, Albert Hahn, Frans Masereel and Gerd Arntz, the five artists in this on-line exhibition wanted. They made prints in large editions and illustrations in popular magazines instead of paintings. In this way, they could reach a large audience, and what's more: an audience that would never visit a museum. Art not only had to reach ordinary people, it also had to contribute to social change. Crane, Steinlen, Hahn, Masereel and Arntz adapted their subjects and style to their political convictions. They depicted daily life, social problems and the struggle for a better society. Their best work is as valid today as when it was created, from the 1880s to the 1930s. For some artists, political involvement, aiming at comprehensibility and the use of cheap printing techniques are no restraints but stimuli.» Holanda

	Arte protegido
		Sociedad Estatal para la Acción Cultural Exterior de España, SEACEX. Catálogo. «En el verano de 1939, apenas terminada la Guerra Civil Española y poco antes de dar comienzo la II Guerra Mundial, Ginebra albergó una exposición antológica con parte de las piezas del patrimonio artístico de nuestro país, trasladadas a la ciudad suiza para salvarlas del grave peligro de destrucción durante la contienda. Entre ellas se contaban las obras maestras del Museo del Prado. Ahora, una muestra esencialmente fotográfica y documental vuelve a la ciudad que fue sede de la antigua Sociedad de Naciones, para rendir homenaje a aquel ingente esfuerzo de protección cultural que permitió la supervivencia del mejor legado artístico español. La operación organizada por las autoridades de la República Española para preservar ese legado representa un ejemplo de pasión por la cultura, incluso en los momentos más dramáticos, que sigue vigente en un mundo sacudido aún en algunos países por la misma irracionalidad que hace décadas mutiló el patrimonio y, por lo tanto, el alma de nuestra nación y del resto de nuestro continente.» España

	Arte y propaganda.
		Colección de carteles de la Universidad de Valencia. «Desde su aparición en el siglo XIX, el cartel ha cumplido una función de comunicación y transmisión de mensajes a una sociedad, en su mayoría analfabeta, que requería una organización visual que enfatizara los símbolos y le diera a la imagen un sentido expresivo, un modo de lectura del discurso.» «La producción cartelística en España durante la República y, especialmente, en la Guerra Civil, fue importantísima; partidos políticos, sindicatos y diferentes entidades, vieron en el cartel el medio idóneo para exponer sus consignas y llegar al pueblo de un modo rápido y eficaz. Las posibilidades que potencia el cartel para alcanzar las transformaciones sociales son infinitas, por ello, un número considerable de artistas ponen su esfuerzo y su talento al servicio de una ideología, y el resultado es la ingente produccion llevada a cabo en estos años. El catálogo que ahora presentamos, recoge todos los carteles de guerra conservados en la Biblioteca Histórica; 260 carteles que ofrecen una precisa perspectiva de lo que fue la producción cartelística de la República entre los años 1936-1939, que Carmen Grimau estimó en 1.000-1.500 carteles.» España
