Habitat
Etxea: aterpe naturala, gotorleku sekretua, maitasunerako habia, independentziaren eremua, bakardade goxorako abagunea. Etxea: gure habitat ideala. Hori bakarrik al da etxea? Gaur egun, luxuzko produktua ere bada. Hipotekak. Alokairuaren komeriak. Auzokoekin gatazkak. Feng Shuiaren esperantza. Sei ipuinetan zehar, pertsonaiek hain goxoa ez den bakardadea pairatuko dute, hain zintzoak ez diren maitasun istorioak biziko dituzte, mudantza etsigarriak eta bisita deserosoak agoantatu beharko dituzte, eta batzuek, dena galduko dute etxeak ordezkatzen duen ustezko independentzia horren peskizan.

Die lustlosen Touristen
Die Baskin Ulia ist gescheiterte Mezzosopranistin, nun Doktorandin in Musikwissenschaften, der Spanier Gustavo ein erfolgreicher Jurist und Genussmensch. Kennengelernt haben sie sich in der Metro, am Tag der Terroranschläge in Madrid. Sie verlieben sich, heiraten bald, kein Blatt scheint zwischen sie zu passen. Doch auf einer Reise durchs Baskenland zeigt sich, dass jeder der beiden etwas zu gestehen hat. Eine Reiseerzählung mit vielen überraschenden Wendungen, die in beschwingt-sarkastischem Ton Verletzungen und Leerstellen umkreist, Themen wie Terror, Herkunft, Zugehörigkeit, Engagement, die Bedingungen eines Scheiterns oder Gelingens der Liebe behandelt und dabei nie ihre Leichtfüßigkeit verliert. Dank der leichten, stellenweise von feministischem Sarkasmus unterlegten, Sprache zieht uns die Lektüre wie eine schwingende Road Novel in den Bann.
Here And Beyond
The chapters included in this volume examine a number of modern and contemporary travel and mobility narratives produced in the different languages of Iberia, whether they offer accounts of Iberia itself or portray other geographical or human contexts.

Masculinity in Contemporary Quality Television
Recent years have seen a rise in the popularity and quantity of ’quality’ television programs, many of which featuring complicated versions of masculinity that are informed not only by the women’s movement of the sixties and seventies, but also by several decades of backlash and debate about the effects of women’s equality on men, masculinity, and the relationship between men and women. Drawing upon studies of contemporary television programs, including popular series viewed internationally such as Mad Men, The League, Hung, Breaking Bad, Louie, and Girls, this book explores the ways in which popular cultural texts address widely circulating discourses of the ostensible ’crisis of masculinity’ in contemporary culture. A rich study of masculinity and its representation in contemporary television, Masculinity in Contemporary Quality Television will appeal to scholars and students of cultural and media studies, popular culture, television studies and cultural sociology with interests in gender, masculinities, and sexuality.

Good Old-Fashioned Values
Seth MacFarlane has made an immense mark on popular culture through both his live action and animated television series: Family Guy, American Dad!, The Cleveland Show, and The Orville. While MacFarlane has garnered a large legion of fans, even those who do not personally watch Family Guy, this longest running series, will be quick to recognize images of Peter and Stewie Griffin: a caricature of the clueless dads from sitcoms of yesteryear and an inexplicably queer-coded evil baby genius, respectively. This book explores Family Guy and Seth MacFarlane's other animated series closely, examining how the series uses satire and other strategies to construct specific ideas related to sex, gender, and family. The authors argue that the series, like many other television series, contribute to our collective understanding of family, and reinforce (at times) unfavorable gender stereotypes.
Les mares no
Trasbalsadora, incisiva i desafiant, Les mares no ha estat unànimement aclamada per la crítica i ha crescut a l’escalf del boca-orella. Katixa Agirre s’ha erigit com una de les autores més brillants d’Euskadi. Una mare ofega els seus nadons a la banyera. Ara estaran bé, diu, mentre espera l’arribada de l’Ertzaina. La premsa serveix l’escàndol a l’opinió pública, i aquesta, horroritzada, es prepara per al judici paral·lel. Mentrestant, una escriptora trenca aigües i, en ple part, com una epifania, com un llamp, recorda que coneix la infanticida d’una altra vida. L’escriptora, ara ja mare, es llança a investigar la veritat que batega darrere del crim dels nadons, qu...
Women in Neoliberal Postfeminist Television Drama
“In this insightful book, Cat Mahoney offers a fascinating analysis of contemporary TV dramas such as Home Fires, Land Girls and The Bletchley Circle. Developing the idea that history is told through the preoccupations of the present, she argues compellingly that these are postfeminist dramas which work through troubling ideas about heteronormative romance, domesticity, beauty and whiteness, while reinforcing the idea that feminism as a political movement is not necessary. A bold and original contribution to television studies, gender studies and popular history.” ̶ Rosalind Gill, City, University of London, UK By examining contemporary television drama set during and immediately after ...
