A Companion to the Spanish Renaissance
A renewed case for the inclusion of Spain within broader European Renaissance movements. This interdisciplinary volume offers a snapshot of the best new work being done in this area.
The Western Codification of Criminal Law
This volume addresses an important historiographical gap by assessing the respective contributions of tradition and foreign influences to the 19th century codification of criminal law. More specifically, it focuses on the extent of French influence – among others – in European and American civil law jurisdictions. In this regard, the book seeks to dispel a number of myths concerning the French model’s actual influence on European and Latin American criminal codes. The impact of the Napoleonic criminal code on other jurisdictions was real, but the scope and extent of its influence were significantly less than has sometimes been claimed. The overemphasis on French influence on other civil law jurisdictions is partly due to a fundamental assumption that modern criminal codes constituted a break with the past. The question as to whether they truly broke with the past or were merely a degree of reform touches on a difficult issue, namely, the dichotomy between tradition and foreign influences in the codification of criminal law. Scholarship has unfairly ignored this important subject, an oversight that this book remedies.
A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula
Volume 2 of A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula brings to an end this collective work that aims at surveying the network of interliterary relations in the Iberian Peninsula. No attempt at such a comparative history of literatures in the Iberian Peninsula has been made until now. In this volume, the focus is placed on images (Section 1), genres (Section 2), forms of mediation (Section 3), and cultural studies and literary repertoires (Section 4). To these four sections an epilogue is added, in which specialists in literatures in the Iberian Peninsula, as well as in the (sub)disciplines of comparative history and comparative literary history, search for links between Volumes 1 and 2 from the point of view of general contributions to the field of Iberian comparative studies, and assess the entire project that now reaches completion with contributions from almost one hundred scholars.
Personas mayores y diversidad funcional física e intelectual durante la transición a la democrácia
Esta tesis abarca un largo periodo de estudio desde los orígenes del franquismo hasta la implantación del sistema político democrático, revisando tanto los cambios en el ámbito nacional como la realidad concreta en un espacio local que es la provincia de Almería. Los principales objetos de estudio son la diversidad funcional y la vejez, que actúan como ejes conductores para hacer una aproximación novedosa a la realidad social de la España contemporánea. Esta investigación, pionera en muchos aspectos, maneja un amplísimo fondo documental, que engloba entre otros, fuentes orales, material hemerográfico, audiovisual y archivístico, siendo esta recopilación uno de sus valores añadidos más importantes. Se trata, en su conjunto, de una gran obra compiladora, multidisciplinar en muchos aspectos y que pretende abrir una nueva vía de investigación.
